Here, the cross-shaped button 3100 and the push button 3000 are both configured in a substantially quadrangular shape having linear sides, and the linear sides are arranged so as to face each other.

[Speaker unit 10]
The speaker unit 10 is a bass reflex type that amplifies low-pitched sound, and has a speaker 10c and an enclosure 10e. The speaker 10c is provided on the front surface of the enclosure 10e, and the front portion of the speaker 10c is covered by the speaker cover 10k provided in the front center portion of the lower plate cover 8b. The sound generated in the front part of the speaker 10c is directly transmitted to the player through the speaker cover 10k, while the sound generated in the rear part of the speaker 10c is temporarily stored inside the enclosure 10e.

The enclosure 10e is designed to contain the sound generated from the rear portion of the speaker 10c so as not to interfere with the sound generated from the front portion thereof, and is formed to have a relatively large volume. As shown in FIG. 15, the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e is formed so as to protrude to the upper right side of the lower plate 18. Further, the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e is arranged so as to be in contact with the bottom portion of the upper plate main body 17p. Further, the lower left 10eb of the enclosure 10e is arranged so as to be in contact with the right end portion of the lower plate main body 18p.

As shown in FIG. 17, an opening 10 ec leading to a conduit (not shown) provided inside is provided at the lower right end portion of the enclosure 10e. Such a conduit and the opening 10ec propagate to the outside while resonating and enhancing the sound emitted from the rear part of the speaker 10c to the inside of the enclosure 10e by the principle of so-called Helmholtz resonance. The sound propagating from the opening 10ec to the outside is perceived as a rich and powerful bass by overlapping with the sound emitted from the front portion of the speaker 10c. Further, when sound is generated from the speaker 10c, air flows out from the opening 10ec to the outside in conjunction with the generation of the sound. When no sound is generated from the speaker 10c, air does not flow out from the opening 10ec.

According to such a speaker unit 10, since the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e has a partially bulging shape, a sufficient volume can be secured as compared with, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped enclosure, and sufficient sound can be obtained from the speaker 10c. Powerful bass can be generated by pressure.

Further, when the sound is generated from the speaker 10c, at the same time, the wind can be sent out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e to the outside with sufficient wind pressure.

Further, when the speaker 10c generates sound, the entire enclosure 10e vibrates according to the sound pressure, but the upper left portion 10ea and the lower left 10eb of the enclosure 10e are part of the upper plate main body 17p and the lower plate main body 18p. Since they are in contact with each other, the vibration is transmitted to the entire upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p. As a result, even when a large number of game balls are stored in the upper plate body 17p or the lower plate body 18p, the ball clogging of the game balls coming out of the payout port 170 or the discharge port 180 is effectively caused by vibration. Can be prevented.

[Blower mechanism 110]
The blower mechanism 110 switches the direction of the wind sent from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e, and is arranged adjacent to the right side surface of the enclosure 10e. As shown in FIGS. 18 and 20, the blower mechanism 110 includes cover members 110A and 110B that can be divided into two left and right, a solenoid 111, a slide member 112, a link member 113, a spring 114, an opening / closing member 115, and an opening / closing detection sensor 116. Has. The solenoid 111, the slide member 112, the link member 113, the spring 114, the opening / closing member 115, and the opening / closing detection sensor 116 are housed inside the cover members 110A and 110B.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the cover member 110A is provided with a space portion 110a in which the opening / closing member 115 can be closed / opened in the direction straight from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. The lower part of the space portion 110a is always open regardless of whether the opening / closing member 115 is closed or opened, and the ventilation port 8ca provided in the undercover 8c is located (see FIG. 17). As shown in FIGS. 18 and 20, the cover member 110B is provided with an opening 110b at a position facing the space 110a. On the right side of the opening 110b, an air outlet 80 provided on the removable lower right side cover 8ba as a part of the lower plate cover 8b is located (see FIGS. 13, 16, and 17). As a result, when the opening / closing member 115 closes the space portion 110a, the wind sent from the opening 10ec hits the opening / closing member 115 and is blocked, and is guided to the lower side of the space portion 110a without passing through the opening 110b. Be taken. The wind guided to the lower side of the space portion 110a is sent to the outside through the ventilation port 8ca of the undercover 8c. On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 115 is in a state where the space portion 110a is opened, the wind sent from the opening 10ec flows almost straight without being blocked by the opening / closing member 115, passes through the space portion 110a and the opening 110b, and then to the right. It is sent out to the outside through the air outlet 80 of the lower side cover 8ba. The firing handle 26b of the launching device 26 is arranged at a position substantially directly facing the blower port 80, and the wind emitted from the blower port 80 hits the hand of the player holding the firing handle 26b. That is, since the flow path through which the wind flows from the opening 10ec to the launch handle 26b via the space portion 110a, the opening 110b, and the air outlet 80 is formed substantially straight, the wind pressure can be applied to the hand of the player holding the launch handle 26b. The wind can be reached without weakening as much as possible, and the player can surely feel the wind.
Further, regardless of whether the opening / closing member 115 is closed or open, the sound transmitted from the opening 10ec together with the wind is emitted to the outside through either the ventilation port 80 or the ventilation port 8ca, and thus is due to Helmholtz resonance. You can fully experience the deep bass without reducing the acoustic effect.

As shown in FIGS. 18 to 21, the solenoid 111 has a plunger 111a that can be projected and retracted in conjunction with an on / off operation. The tip of the plunger 111a is connected to the slide member 112. The slide member 112 is supported by the cover member 110A so as to be movable along the horizontal direction. The slide member 112 is formed with an elongated hole 112a so as to extend long in the vertical direction. The connecting portion 113a of the link member 113 is movably locked in the elongated hole 112a. The base end portion 113b of the link member 113 is rotatably supported by the cover member 110A, and one end of the spring 114 is locked to a portion near the tip end portion of the link member 113. The other end of the spring 114 is locked to an appropriate portion of the cover member 110A. An elongated hole 113c is formed at the tip of the link member 113. A connecting pin 115a provided in the opening / closing member 115 is movably locked to the elongated hole 113c. The opening / closing member 115 is guided to the cover member 110A so as to be movable between the closed position staying in the space portion 110a and the open position deviated from the space portion 110a. The open / close detection sensor 116 is composed of, for example, a touch sensor or a proximity sensor, and when the open / close member 115 is in the open position, the space portion 110a is in the open state due to a part of the link member 113 coming into contact with or close to the link member 113. Is detected. When the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed position, the link member 113 is separated from the opening / closing detection sensor 116 to detect that the space portion 110a is in the closed state. The open / close detection sensor 116 is electrically connected to the sub control board 33.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, when the solenoid 111 is off and the plunger 111a is in the protruding position, the slide member 112 is located to the left in the drawing, and the tip end side of the link member 113 is pulled by the spring 114. The opening / closing member 115 connected to the elongated hole 113c at the tip portion via the connecting pin 115a stays at the closed position of the space portion 110a and closes the space portion 110a. At this time, since the link member 113 is located at a position separated from the open / close detection sensor 116, a detection signal indicating a closed state is supplied from the open / close detection sensor 116 to the sub-control board 33.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, when the solenoid 111 is turned on, the plunger 111a moves from the protruding position to the retracted position. When the plunger 111a moves to the retracted position, the slide member 112 moves to the right side in the drawing, and accordingly, the tip end side of the link member 113 counterclockwise around the base end portion 113b against the pulling force of the spring 114. Rotates in the direction of. As a result, the opening / closing member 115 connected to the elongated hole 113c of the link member 113 via the connecting pin 115a moves from the space portion 110a to the retracted position on the right side in the drawing, whereby the space portion 110a is opened. Become. At this time, since the link member 113 is in contact with or close to the open / close detection sensor 116, the open / close detection sensor 116 supplies a detection signal indicating an open state to the sub-control board 33.

According to such a blower mechanism 110, the flow path of the wind from the opening 10 ec to the launch handle 26b via the blower port 80 becomes substantially linear, and the space portion 110a located between the opening 10ec and the blower port 80a. Is controlled to be closed / open, and when the space 110a is closed, the flow of wind from the opening 10ec can be guided to the vent 8ca located below the space 110a, while the space 110a is In the open state, the flow of air from the opening 10ec can be linearly guided from the space 110a through the opening 110b to the air outlet 80. The wind coming out of the air outlet 80 flows straight toward the launch handle 26b and hits the player holding the launch handle 26b. As a result, the wind can be felt by the skin sensation as well as the hearing to hear the deep bass. When the wind from the opening 10 ec is guided to the vent 8ca, the player's hand is not attached to the vicinity of the vent 8ca, so that, for example, only the deep bass can be felt by hearing without feeling the wind. ..

[Light emitting unit 12]
The light emitting unit 12 irradiates the player's hand holding the firing handle 26b with irradiation light, and is arranged diagonally above the left of the firing handle 26b. Although the details of the light emitting unit 12 are not shown in the illustration, the light emitting unit 12 includes a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means, a light emitting board on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted, a light guide plate for guiding light from the plurality of LEDs in a predetermined direction, and the like.

A specific area switch 317A and a non-specific area switch 317B arranged in a specific area and a non-specific area (not shown) inside the second special winning opening are connected to the main control board 28. The specific area switch 317A supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a V prize when it detects that the game ball has passed through the specific area in the big hit game state. The non-specific area switch 317B supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a non-V prize when it detects that the game ball has passed through the non-specific area in the big hit gaming state.

The main control board 28 includes a second large winning opening solenoid 315A for driving a first large winning opening shutter (not shown) that opens and closes the first special winning opening, and a second large winning opening shutter that opens and closes the second large winning opening. It exclusively controls the second large winning opening solenoid 316A that drives (not shown). As a result, the first large winning opening shutter is in an open state (first aspect) in which it is easy to win a game ball in the first large winning opening, and in a closed state (second aspect) in which it is impossible or difficult to win a game ball. ), And in a situation where the first prize opening is at least closed, the second prize opening shutter is in an open state where the game ball can win a prize in the second prize opening. , The game ball is driven to fluctuate into an impossible or difficult closed state. The opening drive of the first prize opening and the second prize opening by the first prize opening shutter and the second prize opening shutter is the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5C provided on the game board 1. This is performed when the special symbol becomes a specific stop display mode in the special symbol display unit 5D and the game is changed to the big hit game state.

The main control board 28 controls a blade member solenoid 313 that opens and closes a blade member (not shown) provided at the second starting port. As a result, when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in the normal symbol display unit 5A in a predetermined light emitting mode, the blade member is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, and it is easy to enter the game ball into the second starting port. Become.

For example, in the normal symbol game of the present embodiment, the hit probability of the normal symbol in the gaming state (non-probability variation / non-time saving gaming state) that is not the time-saving gaming state is 1/256, and the blade member is not released. .. On the other hand, the hit probability of the normal symbol in the high probability state (time saving game state) is, for example, 255/256, and when this is won, the blade member is opened three times for, for example, 1.3 seconds. Further, in the normal symbol game, the number of normal symbols that are the winning symbols is one, and the winning count number that is the upper limit when the second starting port is opened is 10 counts (10).

The main control board 28 controls a displacement member solenoid 318 that operates to open and close a displacement member (not shown) in a specific region in the second prize opening. As a result, when the round game in the big hit game state is being executed, the displacement member is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, and the game ball easily passes through the specific area. On the other hand, when the displacement member is closed even in the big hit game state, the game ball cannot or is difficult to pass through the specific area, and the game ball easily passes through the non-specific area.

The first special symbol holding display unit 5E is the first when a game ball is detected by the first start port switch 311 while the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D is variable-displaying. 1 The first special based on the winning of the game ball to the first starting port until the first special symbol or the second special symbol being displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D. The number of pending execution (starting) of the variable display of the symbol, that is, the number of reserved symbols related to the first special symbol is displayed. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol that has been variablely displayed is stopped and displayed, the variable display of the first special symbol that has been held as the number of pending numbers related to the first special symbol is started.

The second special symbol holding display unit 5F is the second when the game ball is detected by the second start port switch 312 while the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D is variablely displaying. 1 The second special based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting port until the first special symbol or the second special symbol being displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D. The number of pending execution (starting) of the variable display of the symbol, that is, the number of reserved symbols related to the second special symbol is displayed. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol that has been variablely displayed is stopped and displayed, the variable display of the second special symbol that has been held as the number of pending numbers related to the second special symbol is started.

Here, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority of the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set so that the second special symbol has priority over the first special symbol. However, the corresponding first special symbol and the second special symbol may be varied and displayed in the order of winning in the order of winning the first starting port and the second starting port.

Further, an upper limit is set for the number of holdings in which the execution of the variable display of the special symbol is held, and in the present embodiment, the main CPU 280 wins a game ball in the first starting opening and the second starting opening. When the game ball is detected by the first start port switch 311 and the second start port switch 312, the maximum number of hold numbers of the fluctuation display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is four (that is, four detections). It is stored up to the number of times), and the fifth and subsequent items are not stored as the number of pending items. At this time, when the number of holdings decreases due to the end of the variable display of the special symbol, the number of holdings is added again up to 4 pieces.

When the number of reserved first special symbol games in the first special symbol display unit 5C is, for example, up to four, the information of the special symbol game corresponding to the changing first special symbol display unit 5C is the first of the main RAM 282. 1 The special symbol game information is stored in the special symbol start storage area (0) as start storage, and thereafter, the information of the special symbol game for which the number of reservations is four is stored in the first special symbol start storage area (1) to (4) of the main RAM 282. It is sequentially stored as a start memory.

Similarly, for the second special symbol game in the second special symbol display unit 5D, when the number of reserved second special symbol games is, for example, up to four, the second special symbol display unit 5D corresponding to the changing second special symbol display unit 5D. The information of the 2 special symbol game is stored as the start storage in the second special symbol start storage area (0) of the main RAM 282, and thereafter, the information of the second special symbol game for 4 holdings is the second special symbol game of the main RAM 282. 2 The special symbol start storage areas (1) to (4) are sequentially stored as start storage.

Therefore, the maximum number of game balls held for the special symbol game associated with winning the first starting port and the second starting port is eight in total, and the first special symbol holding display unit 5E and the second special symbol holding display are displayed. The number of pending displays by the 5th floor is also four.

In the open state of the 1st big winning opening by the 1st big winning opening shutter, the count value (the number of winnings of the game ball) by the 1st big winning opening count switch 315 becomes a predetermined number (for example, the number of winnings is 10). Alternatively, it is maintained until one of the conditions such as the elapse of the opening time described later described in advance is satisfied. When the number of winnings of the game ball reaches a predetermined number, or when the opening time of the first large winning opening shutter has elapsed, the first large winning opening shutter is driven to close the first large winning opening.

Similarly, in the open state of the 2nd big winning opening by the 2nd big winning opening shutter, the count value (the number of winnings of the game ball) by the 2nd big winning opening count switch 316 becomes a predetermined number (for example, 10 winnings). Or, it is maintained until one of the conditions such as the elapse of the opening time described later described in advance is satisfied. When the number of winnings of the game ball reaches a predetermined number, or when the opening time of the second big winning opening shutter has elapsed, the second big winning opening shutter is driven to close the second big winning opening.

In the big hit game state, the open state and the closed state of the first big prize opening and the second big winning opening are repeated based on the preset big winning opening opening / closing pattern (hit opening / closing pattern). In the big hit game state, the game in which each of the first big winning opening and the second big winning opening is opened and closed for a predetermined number of times based on the big winning opening opening / closing pattern (hit opening / closing pattern) is a "round game (round). Game) ". A round game (round game) may be simply called a round. About the state from when the 1st big prize opening or the 2nd big winning opening is closed by one round game until the 1st big winning opening or the 2nd big winning opening is opened as the next round game Also referred to as "inter-round game" or "inter-round interval" or simply "interval". In one round game, each of the first prize opening and the second prize opening may be opened and closed a plurality of times. Further, in one round game, the open / closed state of the first prize opening and the second prize opening is exclusively controlled. That is, in one round game, while one big winning opening is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times, the other big winning opening is continuously closed.

The gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a so-called small hit gaming state as a gaming state having a property different from that of the big hit gaming state. Unlike the big hit game state, the small hit game state is not defined by the concept of a round game, and in the small hit game state of the present embodiment, the second big winning opening is defined to be repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times. There is. Of course, in the small hit game state, the arbitrary or specific large winning opening may be controlled to be repeatedly opened once or a plurality of times. This small hit game state is a game state in which the small hit is won by a special symbol lottery. The gaming state basically does not change before and after the transition to the small hit gaming state. For example, when a small hit is won in a non-probable variable gaming state and the game shifts to the small hit gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit gaming state remains the non-probable variable gaming state before the transition to the small hit gaming state. Therefore, it does not shift to the probabilistic gaming state. Similarly, when a small hit is won in the probabilistic gaming state and the game shifts to the small hit gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit gaming state is the small hit gaming state as long as the number of games in the probabilistic gaming state remains. It remains in the probabilistic gaming state before shifting to, and does not shift to the non-probabilistic gaming state.

Round games are counted as the number of rounds (number of times) such as 1 round and 2 rounds. In one round game, if the maximum number of winnings per round is reached before the 1st big winning opening or the 2nd big winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times, the 1st big winning opening and the 2nd big winning opening The winning opening is closed, and the round game is terminated without opening the first major winning opening and the second major winning opening for the remaining number of openings.

Further, in a specific round game in which the second big winning opening is opened in the big hit game state, the displacement member is controlled based on a preset operation pattern (displacement member operation pattern). As a result, the specific area becomes an open state and a closed state in a specific round game in the jackpot game state. That is, in a specific round game, the game ball may pass through a specific area and win a V prize, whereas in a round game other than the specific round game, it is assumed that the game ball wins in the second major winning opening. However, the game ball cannot pass through the specific area or becomes difficult. That is, the types of jackpot gaming states include jackpot gaming states that include a specific round game and jackpot gaming states that do not include a specific round game.

On the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4, an effect image related to the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D is displayed. For example, in the variable display of the special symbol displayed by the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D, the symbol consisting of numbers is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 except in a specific case. (Decorative symbols), for example, numbers such as "0", "1", "2" ... "7" are displayed in three columns.

On the other hand, when the special symbol that has been variablely displayed on the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D is stopped and displayed, the decorative symbol is also stopped and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

Further, in the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D, when the changed or stopped special symbol has a specific stop display mode, the player is made to understand that it is a "big hit". The effect image is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

Specifically, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in one of the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D in a specific display mode corresponding to, for example, a "big hit", the liquid crystal display is displayed. The combination of decorative symbols for effect displayed on the screen of the display device 4 becomes a specific display mode (for example, a mode in which the same symbol is stopped and displayed in a state where all the same symbols are aligned in each of a plurality of symbol rows). , The effect image for big hit is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

The main CPU 280 of such a main control board 28 is a special game (big hit game state) advantageous to the player when the game ball passes through a predetermined area (first start port, second start port) in the game area 1p. ) Is realized by a lottery means that can be drawn by lottery.

The main ROM 281 stores a program for causing the main CPU 280 to execute various processes such as a big hit lottery and a symbol lottery, and various tables.

For example, as shown in FIG. 23, the table stored in the main ROM 281 includes a big hit lottery table and a symbol lottery table. The jackpot lottery table is used when the jackpot lottery is performed by random number lottery. For example, if a random number value of 0 to 254 is extracted from the random number range 0 to 255, it is lost, and if a random number value of 255 is extracted, a jackpot is obtained. It stipulates that you will be elected. The symbol lottery table is used to determine the first special symbol (special figure 1) and the second special symbol (special figure 2) by random number lottery at the time of big hit winning. In such a symbol lottery table, for example, regarding the first special symbol (special diagram 1), when a random number value of 0 to 35 is extracted from the random number range 0 to 99, the 4R normal symbol corresponding to the 4R normal jackpot is obtained. When the random number values of 36 to 65 are extracted, the 16R normal symbol corresponding to the 16R normal jackpot is determined, and when the random number values of 66 to 85 are extracted, the 4R probability variation symbol corresponding to the 4R probability variation jackpot is determined. , 86 to 99 are extracted, and it is stipulated that the 16R probability variation symbol corresponding to the 16R probability variation jackpot is determined. Further, the symbol lottery table determines, for example, the 4R probability variation symbol corresponding to the 4R probability variation jackpot when a random number value of 0 to 33 is extracted from the random number range 0 to 99 with respect to the second special symbol (special diagram 1). However, it is stipulated that when a random number value of 34 to 99 is extracted, the 16R probability variation symbol corresponding to the 16R probability variation jackpot is determined.

The main RAM 282 has a function of storing various data (flags, counters, timers, variable values, etc.) as a temporary storage area of the main CPU 280. As the temporary storage area of the main CPU 280, another readable / writable storage medium may be used instead of the main RAM 282.

The payout / launch control board 34 receives the prize ball control command supplied from the main control board 28 and the rental ball control signal supplied from the card unit device CU, and transmits a predetermined signal to the payout device 35. As a result, the payout device 35 is made to pay out the game ball. The payout device 35 pays out three game balls as the number of prize balls per winning to the first starting port or the second starting port, and pays out to the general winning opening, the first major winning opening, or the second major winning opening. 10 game balls are paid out as the number of prize balls for each prize.

The payout / launch control board 34 becomes a launch solenoid (not shown) according to the amount of rotation when the launch handle 26b of the launch device 26 is gripped by the player and is rotated in the clockwise direction. Power is supplied to control the game ball to be launched toward the game area 1p.

The sub control board 33 is connected to the main control board 28, and is configured to be supplied with various commands from the main control board 28.

The sub control board 33 performs various controls, mainly controls related to the effect operation, in response to various commands supplied from the main control board 28, and is a sub CPU 330, a program ROM 331, a work RAM 332, and a command input port 333. , Real-time clock (hereinafter referred to as "RTC: Real-Time Clock") 334, display control circuit 335, acoustic control circuit 336, light emission control circuit 337, and effect device control circuit 338. A liquid crystal display device 4 is connected to the display control circuit 335. Speakers 10a, 10b, and 10c are connected to the acoustic control circuit 336. A lamp and various LEDs (collectively referred to as a lamp / LED 260 in FIG. 22) are connected to the light emission control circuit 337. The effect device control circuit 338 is connected to various movable effect objects and movable mechanisms of movable members (collectively referred to as the movable effect device 270 in FIG. 22).

Further, the sub control board 33 is connected to the first operation unit 9A, and signals from sensors (not shown) provided in the first operation unit 9A can be input. For example, when the push detection sensor detects a state in which the operation member (operation button) 2000 is pressed, an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the operation member 2000 is input from the push detection sensor to the sub control board 33. The sub control board 33 is also connected to the second operation unit 9B, and signals from sensors (not shown) provided in the second operation unit 9B can be input. For example, when the pressing detection sensor detects the state in which the pressing button 3000 is pressed, the pressing detection sensor inputs an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the pressing button 3000 to the sub control board 33.

The sub CPU 330 executes various processes, mainly processes related to the effect operation, according to the program stored in the program ROM 331. The liquid crystal display device 4 functions as a display means. In particular, the sub CPU 330 controls the entire sub control board 33 according to various commands supplied from the main control board 28.

The program ROM 331 mainly stores a program and various tables for the sub CPU 330 to control various effects.

For example, as shown in FIG. 23, as a table stored in the program ROM 331, there is an effect lottery table. The effect lottery table is, for example, an effect related to blowing air using the speaker unit 10 and the blowing mechanism 110 (blowing effect), an effect related to light irradiation using the light emitting unit 12 (light irradiation effect), an operation member 2000 or a pressing button 3000. It is used when performing an effect lottery for determining whether or not to execute various effects such as an operation effect (first operation effect, second operation effect) using the random number lottery. When the ventilation effect is executed, at the same time, the sound effect of generating the bass by using the speaker 10c is also executed. The first operation effect is an effect using the operation member 2000 of the first operation unit 9A, and the second operation effect is an effect using the pressing button 3000 of the second operation unit 9B.

Specifically, the production lottery table is used for ventilation effect, light irradiation effect, operation effect, etc. in the case of loss due to big hit lottery, 4R normal big hit win, 16R normal big hit win, 4R probability change big hit win, 16R probability change big hit win, etc. A lottery value is specified for determining whether or not to execute each of the effects of the above by a random number lottery (lottery based on a random number range 0 to 99).

According to such an effect lottery table, regarding the blast effect, if the big hit lottery result is lost, "no effect" is always determined by extracting a random number value of 0 to 99, and in the case of 4R normal big hit, When a random value from 0 to 30 is extracted, "without effect" is determined, while when a random value from 31 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined. In the case of a 16R normal jackpot, 0 to 95 When a random number value is extracted, "without effect" is determined, while when a random number value of 96 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 4R probability variation jackpot, a random number value of 0 to 50 is extracted. When it is done, "without effect" is determined, while when a random value of 51 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability variation jackpot, when a random value of 0 to 50 is extracted, "" While "without effect" is determined, "with effect" is determined when a random number value of 51 to 99 is extracted.

Regarding the light irradiation effect, if the jackpot lottery result is lost, "no effect" is determined when a random value from 0 to 90 is extracted, while "with effect" is obtained when a random value from 91 to 99 is extracted. Is determined, and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, "without effect" is determined when a random value from 0 to 90 is extracted, while "with effect" is determined when a random value between 91 and 99 is extracted. In the case of 16R normal jackpot, "with effect" is determined by always extracting random values from 0 to 99, and in the case of 4R probability variation jackpot, "without effect" is determined when random values from 0 to 90 are extracted. On the other hand, when a random value of 91 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability variation jackpot, "with effect" is determined by always extracting a random value of 0 to 99. ..

Regarding the first operation effect, if the jackpot lottery result is lost, "no effect" is determined when a random number value from 0 to 95 is extracted, while "with effect" when a random number value from 96 to 99 is extracted. Is determined, and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, "without effect" is determined when a random number value of 0 to 50 is extracted, while "with effect" is determined when a random number value of 51 to 99 is extracted. , 16R In the case of a normal jackpot, "without effect" is determined when a random number value from 0 to 50 is extracted, while "with effect" is determined when a random number value between 51 and 99 is extracted, and a 4R probability variation jackpot is determined. In the case of, "without effect" is determined when a random value from 0 to 85 is extracted, while "with effect" is determined when a random value from 86 to 99 is extracted, and 0 in the case of a 16R probability variation jackpot. When a random value of ~ 95 is extracted, "without effect" is determined, while when a random value of 96 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined.

Regarding the second operation effect, if the big hit lottery result is lost, "no effect" is always determined by extracting random values from 0 to 99, and in the case of 4R normal big hit, random values from 0 to 97 are extracted. If this is done, "without effect" is determined, while if a random value of 98 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 16R normal jackpot, a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted. In the case of a 4R probability variation jackpot, "no effect" is determined when a random value from 0 to 90 is extracted, while "no effect" is determined when a random value from 91 to 99 is extracted. Is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability variation jackpot, "without effect" is determined when a random value from 0 to 60 is extracted, while "with effect" is determined when a random value between 61 and 99 is extracted. NS.

According to such an effect lottery table, the combination pattern in which the effects such as the blower effect, the light irradiation effect, the first operation effect, and the second operation effect occur at the same time is stochastically different depending on the type of loss or jackpot. That is, it is possible to easily guess the type of loss or jackpot according to the combination pattern of the generated effects.

Further, as is clear from the specified contents of the operation effect, the first operation effect using the operation member 2000 of the first operation unit 9A is more than the second operation effect using the press button 3000 of the second operation unit 9B. Has a higher frequency of appearance. That is, since the pressing button 3000 used in the second operation effect is used less frequently than the operation member 2000 used in the first operation effect, the cross button has nothing to do with the operation effect arranged in the vicinity of the press button 3000. In addition to preventing erroneous operation of buttons such as 3100, wiring and a board can be easily specially designed by equipping an independent operation unit with an operation member 2000 which is frequently used.

The work RAM 332 stores various data (flags, counters, timers, variable values, etc.) as a temporary storage area of the sub CPU 330.

The command input port 333 receives various commands transmitted from the main CPU 280 of the main control board 28 and transmits them to the sub CPU 330.

The RTC334 inputs a date signal indicating the current date and a time signal indicating the current time to the sub CPU 330. The RTC334 is normally operated by the power supply from the gaming machine main body when the power is supplied to the gaming machine main body, and is a backup power supply mounted on the power supply board (not shown) when the gaming machine main body is turned off. Operated by the power supplied from. As a result, the RTC334 can measure the current date and time even when the power of the gaming machine main body is turned off. The RTC may be operated by a battery provided on the sub control board. Further, as an alternative to the RTC, a counter provided in the work RAM having a function as a backup RAM may be used as a means for measuring the time by counting up at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 2 ms).

The display control circuit 335 is for performing display control in the liquid crystal display device 4 according to the data supplied from the sub CPU 330, for example, for generating various image data with an image data processor (VDP). It is composed of an image data ROM for storing data, a frame buffer for temporarily storing image data, and a D / A converter for converting image data as an image signal. The configuration of the display control circuit 335 is merely an example, and is not limited thereto.

The display control circuit 335 temporarily stores the image data to be displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 in the frame buffer in response to the image display command supplied from the sub CPU 330. The image data includes, for example, decorative pattern image data, background image data, various effect image data, various fraudulent notification image data, and the like.

Further, the display control circuit 335 supplies the image data stored in the frame buffer to the D / A converter (not shown) at a predetermined timing. The D / A converter converts the image data as an image signal and supplies the image signal to the liquid crystal display device 4 at a predetermined timing. An image is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 based on the image signal from the D / A converter.

The sound control circuit 336 is for controlling the sound such as music and sound generated from the speakers 10a, 10b, and 10c, and is a sound source IC that controls the sound output and a sound data ROM that stores various sound data. , Includes an amplifier (AMP) for amplifying the sound signal.

<About the right decorative member 15 and the left decorative member 16>
The right side decorative member 15 and the left side decorative member 16 are formed in a shape substantially symmetrical to each other, and both are configured to include similar members. In the following description, the right side decorative member 15 will be described for convenience.

The right side decorative member 15 and the left side decorative member 16 produce light when a predetermined game condition is satisfied. As shown in FIGS. 24 to 29, the right side decorative member 15 has a support member 150, a light emitting substrate (not shown), an outer light guide member 151, an inner light guide member 152, and a decorative cover 153. The support member 150, the light emitting substrate, the outer light guide member 151, and the inner light guide member 152 are covered with the decorative cover 153. The main front surface of the decorative cover 153 is translucent or transparent and has light transmission.

The support member 150 and the light emitting substrate are attached to the right base plate 3aa. A light emitting substrate is arranged on the back surface side of the support member 150. A plurality of slits 150a are formed in the support member 150, and a plurality of LEDs (not shown) provided on the light emitting substrate so as to face the plurality of slits 150a are located. An outer light guide member 151 and an inner light guide member 152 are attached to the front portion of the support member 150 so as to be along the plurality of slits 150a. The LEDs are arranged at predetermined intervals (for example, at intervals of 20 mm to 30 mm) in consideration of securing the amount of light and cost.

The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are each composed of a plate-shaped member, and are formed so that the inner light guide member 152 is larger than the outer light guide member 151. The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are located so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance to the left and right. Since the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 have the same configuration except that the sizes and arrangements are different, the inner light guide member 152 will be described for convenience in the following description.

As shown in FIGS. 25 to 29, the inner light guide member 152 has an incident rear end surface 152a serving as a light incident surface and an emitting front end surface 152b serving as a light emitting surface. The incident rear end surface 152a is arranged so as to face a plurality of slits 150a of the support member 150. As a result, the plurality of LEDs are positioned so as to be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the incident rear end surface 152a. The emission front end surface 152b is arranged along the inner surface of the decorative cover 153, and is formed in a curved shape as a whole.

As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the incident rear end surface 152a is formed with a serrated lens cut so as to form irregularities along the longitudinal direction. As a result, the light from the LED incident on the rear end surface 152a through the slit 150a travels while diffusing in the inner light guide member 152 in the longitudinal direction. The emission front end surface 152b is formed with a so-called diamond-cut lens cut. As a result, the light traveling from the incident rear end surface 152a to the inside of the inner light guide member 152 is irradiated forward with a certain degree of spread. The emission front end surface 152b of the inner light guide member 152 is arranged on the front side where the player is located with respect to the emission front end surface of the outer light guide member 151.

According to such a right-side decorative member 15, the light traveling inside the member 15 can be efficiently diffused from the exit front end surface 152b without leaking to the side, and the effect of light is produced so as to effectively stimulate the visual sense. Can be done. Since the left decorative member 16 has the same configuration as the right decorative member 15, the visual sense is effective at the same time as the light effect by the right decorative member 15 or at a timing different from the light effect by the right decorative member 15. Light effects can be performed to stimulate.

<About top decoration 14>
As shown in FIG. 5, the top decoration 14 has a central decoration unit 14a, a right side decoration unit 14b, and a left side decoration unit 14c. The right side decorative unit 14b and the left side decorative unit 14c are formed in a shape substantially symmetrical to each other, and both are configured to include similar members. In the following description, for convenience, the central decoration unit 14a and the right side decoration unit 14b will be described.

[Center decoration unit 14a]
The central decorative unit 14a is, for example, a front-view inverted triangular shape that produces light by emitting light at the start of a big hit. As shown in FIGS. 30 to 34, the central decorative unit 14a includes a main body cover 140, a front cover 141, an upper cover 142, a support member 143, a light emitting substrate 144, a light shielding member 145, and a plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c. The support member 143, the light emitting substrate 144, the light shielding member 145, and the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are covered with the main body cover 140, the front cover 141, and the upper cover 142. The front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141 is translucent or transparent and has light transmission. The front surface portion 141a is a protruding surface that is located forward from the lower portion to the upper portion, and is arranged so as to form a translucent surface inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

A support member 143 is attached to the inside of the main body cover 140. A light emitting substrate 144 is attached to the front portion of the support member 143, and a light shielding member 145 is attached so as to be located in front of the light emitting substrate 144. A plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are attached to the lower portion of the light shielding member 145 at predetermined intervals from each other.

A plurality of LEDs 144a corresponding to the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are provided in the lower part of the front surface of the light emitting substrate 144, and a plurality of LEDs 144a provided in the upper part of the light shielding member 145 described later are provided in the upper part of the front surface of the light emitting substrate 144. A plurality of LEDs 144b corresponding to the opening 145c of the above are provided.

The light-shielding member 145 is formed with a partition wall 145a so as to partition the upper portion and the lower portion thereof. A plurality of slits 145ba, 145bb, 145bc are formed in the lower portion of the light shielding member 145 so as to correspond to the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c. A plurality of openings 145c are formed in the upper part of the light-shielding member 145 so that the LED 144b of the light emitting substrate 144 described later is exposed. The upper surface of the partition wall 145a of the light-shielding member 145 is surface-treated so that the light from the LED 144b can be easily reflected forward, and the peripheral edge of the opening 145c is also concave so that the light from the LED 144b can be easily reflected forward. It is formed in a shape.

Each of the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c is composed of a plate-shaped member, and is formed in a substantially U-shape or a substantially V-shape in front view. The plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are formed so as to be smaller as they are located above the lower side, the light guide member 146b is smaller than the light guide member 146a, and the light guide member is smaller than the light guide member 146b. The member 146c is smaller. The plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are positioned so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance.

As shown in FIG. 34, the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c have incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca, which are light incident surfaces, and emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cab, which are light emission surfaces. The incident rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca are arranged so as to face the slits 145ba, 145bb, 145bc of the light shielding member 145. The emission front end faces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cc are arranged along the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141 inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

The incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, and 146ca are formed in a sawtooth shape so as to form irregularities along the longitudinal direction, similarly to the incident rear end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the right side decorative member 15 described above. As a result, the light from the LED 144a incident on the incident rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, and 146ca travels while diffusing in the light guide members 146a to 146c in the longitudinal direction. The emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cc are formed in a so-called diamond-cut shape, similarly to the emission front end surface 152b of the inner light guide member 152 of the right side decorative member 15 described above. As a result, the light traveling from the incident rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca to the inside of the light guide members 146a to 146c is irradiated forward with a certain spread.

According to such a central decoration unit 14a, the light emitted from the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cc of the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c is guided to the outside through the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141. However, since the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cc are located relatively close to the front surface portion 141a, and an elongated region having a relatively strong light intensity is formed along the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cc. In the lower region of the front cover 141, the light from the emission front end faces 146ab, 146bb, 146cc appears as a plurality of lines. On the other hand, in the upper region of the front cover 141, the light from the plurality of LEDs 144b is diffusely reflected by the peripheral edge of the opening 145c of the light-shielding member 145 and radiated outward through the front portion 141a of the front cover 141. Since the light guide members 146a to 146c are guided to the front surface portion 141a as reflected light from the depth farther from the front surface portion 141a than the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cc, the average is in the upper region of the front cover 141. It looks like a wide light distribution with widespread light. That is, from diagonally below the front cover 141, which is the player's line of sight, it seems that line-shaped light emerges three-dimensionally below in the evenly vague light from above.

[Right side decoration unit 14b]
The right decorative unit 14b, for example, produces a sound or emits light at the start of a big hit to produce an effect. As shown in FIGS. 35 to 40, the right decorative unit 14b includes a speaker unit 10A, a main body support member 147A, a main body cover 147B, a front cover 147C, a light emitting substrate 148, and a light guide member 149. The speaker unit 10A and the light emitting substrate 148 are attached to the rear portion of the main body support member 147A, and the light emitting substrate 148 is attached to the front portion of the speaker unit 10A. The light guide member 149 is attached to the inside of the front side of the main body support member 147A and is covered by the front cover 147C. The front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape so that the vibration surface of the speaker 10b and the light guide member 149 can be visually recognized from the gap.

The speaker unit 10A has an opening (not shown) that exposes the vibration surface (sound output portion) of the speaker 10b toward the front, and the light emitting substrate 148 is attached along the peripheral edge of the opening. The light emitting substrate 148 is provided with a plurality of LEDs 148a so as to be arranged in an annular shape along the peripheral edge of the speaker 10b.

The main body support member 147A is formed with an opening 147Aa to which the vibration surface of the speaker 10b and the plurality of LEDs 148a of the light emitting substrate 148 are exposed and the light guide member 149 can be attached to the peripheral edge thereof.

The light guide member 149 is a peripheral edge of the incident rear end surface 149b and the tubular portion 149a which are on the rear side of the peripheral edge of the tubular portion 149a and the tubular portion 149a for guiding the sound generated on the vibration surface of the speaker 10b to the front and serve as a light incident surface. It has an emission front end surface 149c that is on the front side and serves as a light emission surface, and a protrusion 149d that extends forward while extending forward from the peripheral edge of the emission front end surface 149c.

A vibrating surface of the speaker 10b is arranged at the rear portion of the tubular portion 149a, and the sound generated on the vibrating surface is guided forward through the tubular portion 149a. The incident rear end surface 1449b is arranged so as to face the LED 148a of the light emitting substrate 148. The incident rear end surface 149b is formed in a sawtooth shape so as to form irregularities along the circumferential direction, similarly to the incident rear end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the right side decorative member 15 described above. As a result, the light from the LED 148a incident on the incident rear end surface 149b travels while diffusing the tubular portion 149a in the circumferential direction.

The emission front end surface 149c is located behind the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C by a predetermined distance. The emission front end surface 149c is also formed in a sawtooth shape so as to form irregularities along the circumferential direction, similarly to the incident rear end surface 149b. As a result, the light traveling from the incident rear end surface 149b to the tubular portion 149a is radiated forward so as to appear as a ring while spreading mainly in the circumferential direction when viewed from the front.

The protrusion 149d is formed so that a part of both left and right sides partially extends forward, and the tip thereof is arranged so as to abut on the back side of the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. The protruding portion 149d may be arranged so as to be close to the front surface 147Ca without contacting the back side. Further, instead of the protruding portion 149d, the emission front end surface 149c may be arranged so as to be in contact with the back side of the front surface 147Ca, or may be arranged so as to be close to the front end surface.

According to such a right side decoration unit 14b, it is possible to produce an effect that the surroundings of the speaker 10b appear to shine in a ring shape in accordance with the sound generated from the speaker 10b. Further, since the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape, it is easily damaged by an external impact or pressure, but it is reinforced and supported by the protrusion 149d of the light guide member 149. Since it is in a state, it can effectively prevent damage due to external impact or pressure. That is, in the mesh-like (lattice-like) front cover 147C, the sound from the speaker 10b is guided to the back surface of the front cover 147C along the light guide member 149, so that the sound from the speaker 10b is not hindered without spoiling the aesthetic appearance. I can tell the outside.
Further, since the light guide member 149 functions as a support member for the front cover 147C, the rigidity of the front cover 147C can be increased.

According to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained.

According to the configuration of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings, the air flow flows out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e as the sound is output from the speaker 10c. At this time, if the opening / closing member 115 of the blower mechanism 110 is in a state where the space portion 110a is open, the air flow from the opening 10 ec is guided in a direction straight toward the blower port 80, and the air flow from the blower port 80 toward the firing handle 26b. The wind flows with sufficient wind pressure. As a result, the player can feel the wind in the hand holding the firing handle 26b, and can also feel the sound from the speaker 10c as a deep bass due to the Helmholtz resonance with the sound output from the air outlet 80 together with the wind.

On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 115 of the ventilation mechanism 110 is in a state where the space portion 110a is closed and the air flow from the opening 10ec is guided to the lower side of the space portion 110a by bending at a substantially right angle, it is under. The wind is discharged from the vent 8ca of the cover 8c, and the wind is not guided to the launch handle 26b. As a result, the player can feel only the sound from the speaker 10c as a deep bass by the Helmholtz resonance with the sound output from the vent 8ca together with the wind without feeling the wind in the hand holding the firing handle 26b. ..

That is, the speaker unit 10 can be miniaturized and simplified because the direction of the wind flowing out from the opening 10 ec of the speaker unit 10 can be switched between the bass and the wind or only the bass can be felt by simply switching the direction of the wind flowing out from the opening 10 ec. It is possible to flexibly perform the production by sound and wind while trying to achieve the above.

Further, the sound and the wind can be felt or only the sound can be felt only by switching the direction of the wind coming out from the opening 10 ec of the speaker unit 10 by the blower mechanism 110, and the removable lower right side cover 8ba and the under cover can be felt. Since the air vent 80 and the air vent 8ca may be formed in 8c and individually designed so that the air vent mechanism 110 is arranged between these and the speaker unit 10, the manufacturing cost of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings is high. It can be made excellent in design flexibility and maintainability.

Further, even the speaker unit 10 which is a bass reflex type and has a relatively large volume of the enclosure 10e can be arranged in a space that does not interfere with the hands of the player who handles the game balls stored in the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18. , The speaker device can be efficiently laid out while securing the arrangement space of the speaker unit 10.

Further, since the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e abuts on the bottom of the upper plate main body 17p and also abuts on the lower left lower 10eb lower plate main body 18p, the upper plate 17p is supported and the enclosure 10e responds to the operation of the speaker 10c. The vibration is transmitted to the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18, and the clogging of the game balls in the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18 can be effectively cleared by this vibration.

Further, the first operation effect using the operation member 2000 is set to occur more frequently than the second operation effect using the press button 3000, that is, the operation member 2000 having a high frequency of use operates. The pressing button 3000, which is provided independently on the unit 9A, is provided on the common board 3200, which is also used as the ball lending button 23 and the return button 24. It is possible to arrange each of the buttons 3000 to simplify the wiring to each board, and it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and the arrangement space.

Further, while the frequently used operating member 2000 is memorized as a circular shape, the less frequently used pressing button 3000 is easily memorized as a quadrangular shape different from the circular shape. Therefore, the operating member 2000 and the pressing button 3000 are memorized according to the frequency of use. Can be provided as an outer shape that makes it easy to distinguish between them, and by extension, it is possible to make it easy to use a plurality of operating means. Further, since the quadrangular push button 3000 and the cross-shaped cross button 3100 are arranged adjacent to each other so that some ends of the straight line portions face each other, a plurality of these are arranged even in a narrow space. Buttons can be placed.

In addition, if the conditions for transitioning to a gaming state advantageous to the player, such as 16R normal jackpot or 16R probability variation jackpot, are satisfied, the light irradiation effect is always executed, and at the same time, the ventilation effect may be executed. Can sense that the light irradiation effect or the blast effect is being executed by either the visual sense or the tactile sense in the hand holding the launch handle 26b, and shifts to an advantageous gaming state without overlooking such an effect. You can detect what to do. Further, when the ventilation effect is executed, the sound effect by the deep bass from the speaker 10c is also executed at the same time, and the vibration due to the deep bass can be felt.

Further, for example, in the right decorative member 15, the incident rear end surface 152a of the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 is incident while diffusing light in the longitudinal direction in which the LEDs are lined up by a serrated lens cut. While the light travels efficiently in the light guide, the light emitted from the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 at the exit front end surface 152b is a diamond-cut lens that transmits the light guided from the incident rear end surface 152a into the light guide body. Since it can be efficiently scattered to the outside by cutting, it is possible to eliminate color unevenness and efficiently irradiate light.

Further, for example, in the right side decorative unit 14b, the protruding portion 149d of the light guide member 149 is arranged so as to abut on the back surface of the mesh-like front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C, and the emission front end surface 149c is separated from the front surface 147Ca by a predetermined distance. Since the speaker 10b is arranged in an annular shape along the peripheral edge so as not to block the vibration surface, the LED 148a located on the incident rear end surface 149b side can be made invisible from the front of the front cover 147C without spoiling the aesthetic appearance. The sound from the speaker 10b can be emitted to the outside without any trouble.

Further, for example, in the central decorative unit 14a, the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cc of the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are located farther from the light emitting substrate 144 than the peripheral edge of the opening 145c of the light shielding member 145 to which the LED 144b is exposed. Since it is arranged near the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141, the light of the LED 144b that is diffusely reflected at the peripheral edge portion of the opening 145c and guided forward, and the light emitted from the light guide members 146a to 146c through the inside of the exit front end surface 146ab. The light of the LED 144a emitted from the, 146bb, 146cc becomes a light that seems to be diffused on average and a line-shaped light, which can make a clear difference in the visibility of these lights, and by extension, a novel light. It is possible to realize the production of.

As a modification of the ventilation mechanism 110, the one shown in FIG. 41 may be applied. In the ventilation mechanism 110 shown in FIG. 41, a rotatable shutter member 117 that can exclusively open and close the lower part of the space portion 110a and the opening portion 110b is provided. As shown in FIG. 41 (a), the shutter member 117 is positioned so as to form a horizontal posture when guiding the flow of wind from the opening 10 ec (not shown) to the opening 110b. At this time, the wind is not completely guided to the lower part of the space portion 110a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), when the shutter member 117 guides the flow of wind from the opening 10 ec (not shown) to the lower side of the space portion 110a, the shutter member 117 is rotated from the horizontal posture shown in FIG. 41 (a). It is positioned so that it moves and forms an upright posture. At this time, the flow of the wind that tries to go straight to the side of the space portion 110a is obstructed, and the wind is guided so as to bend downward at a substantially right angle to the lower part of the space portion 110a. According to such a blower mechanism 110, when the wind is guided to the blower port 80 (not shown), the wind is guided to the blower port 80 with sufficient wind pressure without leaking the wind below the space portion 110a. Can be done.

The gaming machine of the present invention is as follows.

[Background technology]
The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko gaming machine or the like.

This type of gaming machine, such as a pachinko gaming machine, is configured to perform various effects as the game progresses, such as an image effect using a liquid crystal display device, a light effect using an LED, and a speaker. It is configured to perform various effects such as a sound effect using a movable device or a physical action effect using a movable device.

For example, in a conventional gaming machine, two lenses having different light transmittances are provided adjacent to each other, and even if the amount of light from the light source is the same, one of them looks bright according to the transmittance of the two lenses. Those that appear dark on the other adjacent side have been proposed (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-87778).

[Outline of the invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, since the emission surfaces of the two lenses that emit light are aligned at the same height position, the emitted light is mixed and the effect of slowing or slowing the visibility is effective. There was a drawback that it could not be demonstrated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of causing a clear difference in light visibility and, by extension, realizing a novel light effect. ..

[Means to solve problems]

The front cover includes a second light guide member (eg, light guide members 146a to 146c, etc.) having 146ab, 146bb, 146cc), and the front cover has a translucent surface (for example, front portion 141a, etc.). The second light guide member is formed of a flat plate-shaped light guide member whose emission end surface is arranged along the back surface of the light transmission surface, and the incident end surface emits light into the inside of the second light guide member. A first lens cut is formed to diffuse the light in the longitudinal direction of a flat plate, and the emitted end surface has a shape different from that of the first lens cut and is outside the light that is incident on the incident end surface and guided.

According to such a configuration, the exit end surface which is one end surface of the flat plate-shaped second light guide member is arranged along the inclined light transmitting surface of the front cover, and the incident end surface of the second light guide member is arranged. A first lens cut that diffuses light in the longitudinal direction of a flat plate is formed, while a second lens cut that diffuses light outward in a shape different from that of the first lens cut is formed on the emission end face. Is formed, the second light guide member efficiently diffuses the light from the light emitting means to the light emitting end surface via the incident end surface and guides the light to the translucent surface, while the first light guide member transmits the reflected light. Since it can be guided to the translucent surface, it is possible to make a clear difference in the visibility of these lights, and it is possible to realize a novel light effect. Further, in the second light guide member, the light is incident while being diffused in the longitudinal direction of the flat plate by the first lens cut of the incident end face, and the light efficiently advances to the inside of the second light guide member in the flat plate shape. On the other hand, on the exit end surface of the second light guide member, the light guided from the incident end surface to the inside can be efficiently diffused to the outside, so that the color unevenness is eliminated and the light is efficiently irradiated. Can be done.

The light emitting substrate 4226e is fixed to the connecting portion 4226b via the front semi-cylindrical portion 4226c and the rear semi-cylindrical portion 4226d. Specifically, the front semi-cylindrical portion 4226c and the rear semi-cylindrical portion 4226d are fixed to each other so as to sandwich the light emitting substrate 4226e from the front and back. At this time, the connecting portion 4226b is also sandwiched between the left end portions of the front semi-cylindrical portion 4226c and the rear semi-cylindrical portion 4226d. In this way, the connecting portion 4226b and the light emitting substrate 4226e are sandwiched between the front semi-cylindrical portion 4226c and the rear semi-cylindrical portion 4226d, so that the light emitting substrate 4226e is fixed to the connecting portion 4226b.

By combining the front semi-cylindrical portion 4226c and the rear semi-cylindrical portion 4226d in this way, a substantially cylindrical member (rotating shaft portion 4226) is formed. A substantially cylindrical left collar 4226f and a right collar 4226g are fitted in the vicinity of the left and right ends of the rotating shaft portion 4226, respectively.

<About the lower rotation decoration body 4210 and the lower rotation drive mechanism 4220>
As shown in FIG. 58, the rotation shaft portion 4226 configured in this way is inserted into the inside of the lower rotation decoration body 4210 through the through hole 4216a of the lower rotation decoration body 4210. At this time, since the rotating shaft portion 4226 is formed so as to have a circular cross section (substantially cylindrical), it is easy to align the rotating shaft portion 4216a with respect to the side view circular through hole 4216a (and by extension, the lower rotating decorative body 4210). Can be done.

The fixed shaft 4226a provided at the left end of the rotating shaft portion 4226 is inserted into the central through hole 4215b of the lower rotating decoration body 4210, and is arranged so as to project to the left from the central through hole 4215b.

In the state of being arranged in this way, the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical protrusion 4215a of the lower rotating decorative body 4210 is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft portion 4226 via the left collar 4226f, and the lower portion is rotatably supported. The inner peripheral surface of the through hole 4216a of the rotating decoration body 4210 is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft portion 4226 via the right collar 4226g.

Further, as shown in FIG. 59, the left end portion of the fixed shaft 4226a of the rotating shaft portion 4226 is inserted into the through hole 4224b of the driven gear 4224 and fixed to the left side case 4221. At this time, the driven gear 4224 can rotate relative to the fixed shaft 4226a. Further, the right end portion of the rotating shaft portion 4226 is fixed to the right side case 4225.

Further, the protrusion 4224c of the driven gear 4224 is fitted (engaged) into the engagement hole 4215c formed in the cylindrical protrusion 4215a of the lower rotating decoration body 4210. As a result, when the driven gear 4224 is rotated by the driving force of the motor 4222, the lower rotating decorative body 4210 rotates around the rotating shaft portion 4226 with the rotation of the driven gear 4224. At this time, since the rotation shaft portion 4226 is fixed to the left side case 4221 and the right side case 4225, it does not rotate.

In this way, by appropriately driving the motor 4222, the lower rotating decorative body 4210 can be rotated and the desired surface can be turned forward. Since light can always be emitted forward from the light emitting substrate 4226e inside the lower rotating decoration body 4210, the front surface of the lower rotating decoration body 4210 can be made to emit bright light.
