  Next, the configuration of the shutter device 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an internal configuration of the shutter device 60. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the shutter device 60 shields the front side of the panel unit 5 and the panel unit is in an invisible state. Although not shown in FIG. 3, a transparent cover member is provided on the front side of the shutter device 60 so as to cover the entire periphery of the shielding member 61.

  The shutter device 60 has a plurality of shielding members 61 for shielding the front side of the panel unit 5. The plurality of shielding members 61 are plate-like members arranged in parallel with each other. In this embodiment, six rectangular shielding members 61 are arranged with the longitudinal direction being horizontal, and adjacent shielding members 61 are arranged close to each other without a gap. Arbitrary decorative symbols are displayed on the surface of the shielding member 61 of the present embodiment. On the shielding member 61 of the present embodiment, a character design consisting of “big hit” is displayed (see FIG. 1).

  On both outer sides of the shielding member 61, guide shafts 62 extending in the arrangement direction of the plurality of shielding members 61 (the vertical direction in FIG. 3) are provided. A shielding member guide 63 is slidably provided on the guide shaft 62 corresponding to each shielding member 61. An end portion of the shielding member 61 is connected to the shielding member guide 63 via a connecting arm 64. The connecting arm 64 connected to each shielding member 61 is connected to the connecting arm 64 connected to the adjacent shielding member 61. A slide member 65 is provided at the lower end of the guide shaft 62. A guide shaft 62 passes through the slide member 65, and the slide member 65 can slide along the guide shaft 62. The slide member 65 slides along the guide shaft 62 to move the shielding member 61 upward via the connecting arm 64.

  Lead screws 66 for moving the slide member 65 along the guide shaft 62 are provided on both outer sides of the shielding member 61. The lead screw 66 is provided so as to penetrate the slide member 65, and the slide member 65 is movable in the vertical direction along the lead screw 66. The lead screw 66 is a male screw having a spiral unevenness formed on the outer peripheral surface, and the slide member 65 is a female screw having a groove that engages with the unevenness of the outer peripheral surface of the lead screw 66 on the inner peripheral surface of the penetrating portion. It has become.

  Below each lead screw 66, a motor 67 is provided as a driving means, and the lead screw 66 is rotationally driven by the motor 67. The motors 67 provided on the two lead screws 66 are configured to rotate in synchronization with each other. Note that the slide member 65 for moving all the shielding members 61, the lead screw 66 as a moving means for moving the slide member 65, and the motor 67 as a driving means for driving the lead screw 66 act as the shielding member operation in the present invention. It corresponds to the means.

  A first sensor 68 is provided near the upper end of the guide shaft 62, and a second sensor 69 is provided near the lower end of the guide shaft 62. The first sensor 68 is provided at an upper limit position in a range in which the slide member 65 moves along the guide shaft 62, and detects that the slide member 65 has reached the upper limit of the movable range. The second sensor 69 is provided at a lower limit position in a range in which the slide member 65 moves along the guide shaft 62, and detects that the slide member 65 has reached the lower limit of the movable range. As these sensors 68 and 69, for example, optical sensors can be used. Further, the shutter device 60 is provided with a solenoid 70 and a solenoid arm 71 for opening and closing the shielding member 61. The solenoid 70 and the solenoid arm 71 also correspond to the shielding member actuating means of the present invention.

  FIG. 4 shows a state where all the shielding members 61 are moved upward. When the lead screw 66 is rotationally driven by the motor 67, the slide member 65 moves in the vertical direction along the lead screw 66. As a result, the slide member 65 moves upward along the guide shaft 62 and pushes up the connecting arm 64. The connecting arm 64 is folded in the process of being pushed up by the slide member 65, and moves upward in a state where all the shielding members 61 connected to the connecting arm 64 overlap each other. Thereby, all the shielding members 61 move upward from the panel portion 5, and the shielding member 61 does not exist on the front side of the panel portion 5 (fully opened state).

  Further, by rotating the motor 67 in the reverse direction, the slide member 65 moves downward, and the shielding member 61 moves downward by its own weight. At this time, the folded connection arm 64 extends, and the overlapping shielding members 61 are deployed one by one on the front side of the panel portion 5. Thereby, all the shielding members 61 move to the front side of the panel unit 5, and the front side of the panel unit 5 is covered with the shielding member 61 (fully closed state). The rotation of the motor 67 is controlled by a sub control board 220 described later.

  Since all the shielding members 61 that have moved upward from the panel unit 5 are in an overlapping state, the overlapping shielding members 61 are stored in the internal space of the operation unit 2mb located on the back side of the start lever 36 and the like. It is possible to prevent the player from noticing the presence of the shielding member 61. For this reason, by lowering the shielding member 61 according to the progress of the game, a novel effect that the entire panel unit 5 is suddenly covered is possible.

  Next, the opening / closing mechanism of the shielding member 61 of the shutter device 60 will be described. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which all the shielding members 61 in the shutter device 60 are open and the panel unit 5 is in a visible state, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an opening / closing mechanism of the shielding member 61. It is explanatory drawing.

  In this embodiment, the solenoid 70 is provided corresponding to each group in which a plurality (six in this example) of shielding members 61 are divided into a plurality of (three in this example) groups. The shielding member 61 included in this group is configured to open and close independently of the shielding member 61 included in the other group. Specifically, three solenoids 70 and six solenoid arms 71 are provided for the six shielding members 61. That is, two solenoid arms 71 are operated by one solenoid 70, and the two shielding members 61 are simultaneously opened and closed. Thereby, some shielding members 61 among the plurality of shielding members 61 can be opened and closed independently of the other shielding members 61.

  As shown in FIG. 6, on one side (one short side) of each of the six shielding members 61, the rotating shaft 61 a that is the rotation center of the shielding member 61 and the shielding member 61 are actuated by receiving external force. A working shaft 61b is provided. The rotation shaft 61a is provided slightly deviated from the central position on the side of the shielding member 61. When no external force is applied to the shielding member 61, the shielding member 61 is in a vertical state. The rotation shaft 61a and the action shaft 61b are provided corresponding to the number of the solenoid arms 71. In order to avoid complicated explanation in FIG. 6, the uppermost shielding member 61 among the six shielding members 61 is provided. The rotation shaft 61a and the action shaft 61b provided in 61 are illustrated, and the illustration of the rotation shaft 61a and the action shaft 61b provided for the remaining five shielding members 61 is omitted.

  The action shaft 61 b is provided at an end portion on one side of the shielding member 61. The tip of the solenoid arm 71 is located above the action shaft 61b. The other end side of the solenoid arm 71 is connected to the solenoid slider 72. The other end sides of the two solenoid arms 71 arranged vertically are connected to the same solenoid slider 72. The solenoid slider 72 is connected to the movable iron core of the solenoid 70. By switching on / off of the solenoid 70, the solenoid slider 72 moves in the vertical direction, and the tips of the two solenoid arms 71 move in the vertical direction. The solenoid 70 is controlled by a sub control board 220 described later.

  When the solenoid 70 is not energized, the tip of the solenoid arm 71 is positioned above the action shaft 61b of the shielding member 61, and the shielding member 61 is closed (see FIG. 3). At this time, it becomes an invisible state in which the panel unit 5 cannot be seen from the front side of the gaming machine 1.

  When the solenoid 70 is energized and turned on, the tip of the solenoid arm 71 pushes down the action shaft 61b of the shielding member 61 (see the solenoid arm 71 represented by a broken line in FIG. 6). As a result, the shielding member 61 rotates around the rotation shaft 61a to change from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and the shielding member 61 is in an open state (see FIG. 5). At this time, it will be in the visible state which can see the panel part 5 from the front side of the gaming machine 1.

  As described above, two or four of the six shielding members 61 are opened, and the other remaining shielding members 61 are closed. It is possible to produce novel effects such as partially visible.

Here, the spinning cylinder backlight 20L is a light that is provided inside each spinning cylinder 20a, 20b, 20c and illuminates the pattern drawn on the surface of the spinning cylinder from the back side. The sub control board 220 analyzes the control command received from the main control board 200, and outputs drive signals to the various lamps 12, the various speakers 14, 114, the effect display device 10, and the rotary backlight 20L, respectively. Various performances using these are performed.

  Returning to FIG. 8, on the door board 240, the above-described medal selector 106, various insertion buttons 32 and 34 for inserting the stored game medals, the start lever 36 for starting the rotation of the spinning cylinder, the rotation The spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c for stopping the spinning cylinder that is running, the settlement button 40 for paying out the stored game medals and the inserted game medals and ending the game, and the state of the game are displayed. Various display panels 22 are connected. The door board 240 is connected to the main control board 200 described above so as to exchange data. For this reason, when the start lever 36 provided on the front door 2, the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c, the various input buttons 32, 34, the adjustment button 40, etc. are operated, the signal is transmitted via the door substrate 240. Can be supplied to the main control board 200. The output of the medal sensor provided in the medal selector 106 is also supplied to the main control board 200 via the door board 240.

  On the spinning board 260, the spinning motors 24a, 24b, 24c for rotating the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, 20c, respectively, and the spinning cylinder sensors 26a, 26b for detecting the rotational positions of the respective spinning cylinders. , 26c. The rotating substrate 260 detects the rotational position of each of the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c by the rotating sensors 26a, 26b, and 26c, and drives the rotating motors 24a, 24b, and 24c, thereby rotating the respective rotating cylinders 20a. , 20b, 20c can be stopped at a desired rotational position. In the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, so-called stepping motors are used for the spinning motors 24a, 24b, and 24c.

  The medal payout device 118 is connected to the main control board 200 via a relay board (not shown), and performs an operation of paying out a predetermined number of game medals based on a control signal from the main control board 200.

  These various control boards and the power consumed by the boards are supplied from the power supply board 280. An AC voltage of 100 V is supplied to the power supply board 280, and this electric power is converted into a DC voltage of a specified voltage and then supplied to each control board and board. In FIG. 8, a state in which power is supplied from the power supply board 280 is represented by a dashed arrow.

  Next, the contents of the control performed in order to advance the game in the swivel game machine 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. As a preparation for this, an outline of the game performed in the swivel game machine will be described. Keep it.

  In starting the game, a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 30 and a medal bet is placed. The number of game medals to bet is usually fixed to one or three. When game medals are stored in advance as credits, it is possible to bet 1 or 3 game medals by pressing the 1-sheet insertion button 32 or the 3-sheet insertion button 34, respectively. is there.

  When a game medal is bet and the start lever 36 is operated, the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c start rotating all at once. Since a plurality of symbols are drawn on each rotator, these symbols are displayed in a variable manner when the rotator rotates. Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, on the front side of the front door 2, three turning stop buttons 38 a, 38 b and 38 c are provided corresponding to the respective turning cylinders. When the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c are pressed while the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are rotating, the rotating cylinder corresponding to the pressed button stops rotating, and the symbol that has been displayed variably is displayed. Stopped display with any of the symbols. When the rotation of the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is stopped in this way, any symbol is stopped and displayed on each of the spinning cylinders, and any symbol combination is obtained. When the symbol combination obtained in this way is a combination that establishes a so-called “small role”, a game medal corresponding to the established game role is paid out. When the number of game medals bet is 3, it is possible to receive a payout of 3 times of game medals when only one bet is placed.

  Also, for the following reasons, the more the number of game medals to bet, the easier it is to establish a game combination. First, the display window 20 provided on the front door 2 is provided with a size capable of displaying three symbols drawn on the rotating drum. Accordingly, when the rotation of each of the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is stopped, three symbols are stopped and displayed on each of the spinning cylinders, so that three sets of symbols of the upper stage, the middle stage, and the lower stage are displayed in the horizontal direction. A combination is obtained, and two symbol combinations are obtained in the diagonal direction. The direction in which the symbol combination is obtained in this way is called “line”, and as a result, there are 5 lines in total, 3 lines in the horizontal direction and 2 lines in the diagonal direction. Here, when there are three game medals bet, all these five lines are valid, and it is only necessary to match the symbol combinations of the game actors on any line, but only one game medal was bet. In such a case, the effective lines are limited, and even if the symbol combinations of game actors are arranged on other lines, the game actors cannot be established.

  In addition to the “small role”, the game character is also provided with a so-called “bonus role”. When a symbol combination that establishes the bonus role is obtained, the game state is given to the player. Switch to an advantageous state. The bonus combination is provided with a so-called “regular bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as RB combination)” and “big bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as BB combination)”. In the case of the RB combination, a game combination is established. “RB game” is performed in which the types of symbol combinations increase and the probability that the increased game combination is established is increased. In the case of the BB combination, a game state that is more advantageous for the player than the RB combination, that is, the “RB game” can be performed a plurality of times until a predetermined number (for example, 465) of game medals are paid out. Switch to gaming state. As a result, when the BB combination is established, the player can acquire a large amount of game medals.

  As described above, in the rotating type gaming machine 1, after rotating the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c by betting a game medal and operating the start lever 36, the rotating cylinder stop button 38a, The rotation of the rotating drum is stopped by pressing 38b and 38c. Depending on the symbol combination obtained at that time, a game medal is paid out or the game progresses while switching to an advantageous game state. Since the most amount of game medals can be obtained when the BB combination is established, the player continues the game while always wishing to establish the BB combination.

  The progress of such a game is controlled by the main control board 200. Hereinafter, processing contents performed for the main control board 200 to control the progress of the game will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a game control process performed by the main control board 200 for controlling the progress of the game in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment. This game control process is executed after the gaming machine 1 is turned on and after initialization processing such as security check of the ROM mounted on the main control board 200 and the sub control board 220 and RAM clearing are performed. Process.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the game control process, it is first determined whether or not a game medal is bet (S10). That is, it is determined whether or not a game medal is inserted from the game medal slot 30 or whether or not the one-sheet insertion button 32 or the three-sheet insertion button 34 is operated. As described above, a game medal inserted from the game medal slot 30 is detected by a medal sensor (not shown) provided in the medal selector 106 when passing through the medal selector 106. Further, a contact switch is built in each of the one-sheet input button 32 and the three-sheet input button 34, and when these input buttons are operated, the contact switch detects the operation. Since the detection signals from the medal sensors and contact switches are supplied to the main control board 200 via the door board 240, the main control board 200 determines whether a game medal has been bet based on these detection signals. It can be determined whether or not. If a special game combination called “replay combination” is established, the player is automatically bet even if he / she does not bet a game medal, so even if “replay combination” is established, It is determined that a medal is bet.

  If it is determined in S10 that no game medal is bet (S10: NO), the determination process (S10) is repeated to wait until a game medal is bet. On the other hand, if it is determined that a game medal has been bet (S10: YES), it is determined whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated (S20). As will be described in detail later, the start lever 36 incorporates a detection sensor, which will be described later, and when the start lever 36 is operated, its movement can be detected. The main control board 200 can determine whether or not the start lever 36 has been operated based on the output of the detection sensor. If it is determined that the start lever 36 has not been operated even though the game medal has been bet (S20: NO), the standby state is maintained while repeating this determination until the start lever 36 is operated. Become. On the other hand, if it is confirmed that the start lever 36 has been operated (S20: YES), the following series of processes is performed to advance the game.

  When the start lever 36 is operated, an internal lottery process is immediately performed (S30). In this process, one random number for internal lottery is acquired at the timing when the start lever 36 is operated, and a process of internally drawing game players according to the acquired random number is performed. As described above, in order to establish a game combination, the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c must be stopped so that a predetermined symbol combination corresponding to the game combination is obtained. Inside the machine 1, there is a lottery to determine which game combination is to be established. If this lottery is not won, the game combination can be made no matter what timing the stop button 38a, 38b, 38c is pressed. The spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c cannot be stopped by the symbol combination. Therefore, when the start lever 36 is operated, first, an internal lottery is performed to determine which game combination is established or which game combination is not established. In the internal lottery, a random number for internal lottery is periodically updated, a random number is acquired according to the timing when the start lever 36 is operated, and whether or not a game player is won is determined based on the obtained random number.

  The main control board 200 starts the rotation rotation starting process following the internal lottery process (S40). In the rotation rotation start process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied, and when the condition is satisfied, the three rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are simultaneously rotated. In the rotation rotation start process of this embodiment, a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) or more has elapsed since the start lever 36 was operated and the rotation of the rotation cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c was started last time. In this case, the rotation of the rotating cylinder is started, and a process of outputting a drive signal to the rotating motors 24a, 24b, and 24c provided in the respective rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is performed.

  When the three spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are thus rotated all at once, the main control board 200 performs a process for stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinder (rotating cylinder rotation stopping process) (S50). In this process, the rotation of the rotating cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is started, and when the rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, and 38c are pressed within a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) after the rotation speed becomes constant, After determining the symbol to be stopped and displayed by the rotating cylinder, the rotational speed of the rotating cylinder is reduced, and the rotating cylinder is controlled to stop at the determined symbol position. Also, when determining the symbols to be stopped, the result of the internal lottery performed earlier is referred to, and if no game combination is won, avoid the combination of symbols in which the game combination is established In this way, the stop pattern of each cylinder is determined. When the rotation stop button 38a (38b, 38c) is operated after the rotation stop button 38a (38b, 38c) is operated and before the rotation cylinder 20a (20b, 20c) is actually stopped. Depending on the rotational position of the cylinder 20a (20b, 20c), a stop delay time of a maximum of 190 ms can be generated. Thus, for example, even if the spinning cylinder 20a (20b, 20c) is stopped immediately in accordance with the stop operation timing of the spinning cylinder stop button 38a (38b, 38c) in a state where the “BB role” is internally won. When the symbol combination that establishes “BB combination” cannot be stopped, the stop timing of the cylinder 20a (20b, 20c) is delayed within the range of the stop delay time of 190 ms, so that “BB combination” is achieved. If the symbol combination can be stopped and displayed, the stop timing of the rotating drum 20a (20b and 20c) can be delayed so that the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, if the symbol combination “BB combination” cannot be stopped and displayed even if the stop timing of the rotation cylinder 20a (20b, 20c) is delayed, the rotation cylinder 20a (20b, 20c) is set so that no game combination is established. It will be stopped.

  When the three cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c are stopped as described above, the main control board 200 determines whether or not a winning is achieved (S60). Here, “winning” means that after winning a game combination by internal lottery, the symbol combination that establishes the game combination is displayed in a stopped state on the active line. As described in the rotation rotation stop processing (S50), even if a game combination is won in the internal lottery, depending on the timing of pressing the rotation stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c, the symbol combination corresponding to the game combination may be changed. It is not necessarily obtained. Therefore, after stopping the rotation of the spinning cylinder, the main control board 200 determines whether or not the winning combination of the game player won in the internal lottery has been established.

  As a reference, FIG. 10 illustrates various game combinations set in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment and symbol combinations for establishing these game combinations. FIG. 10 also shows the number of game medals to be paid out when winning each game combination. As shown in the drawing, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, “BB role”, “RB role”, “tin small role”, “plum small role”, “cherry small role”, “replay role” ”Etc. are set. The symbol combination corresponding to “BB combination” is set to the symbol combination “7-7-7” displayed in red or “7-7-7” displayed in blue. Similarly, the symbol combination corresponding to “RB role” is set to the combination of “bar-bar-bar”, and the combination of “tin-tin-tin” A combination of “Plum-Plum-Plum” is set for “Plum Minor”. In addition, the “cherry small part” is set so that if the left rotator 20a is stopped and displayed with the symbol “cherry”, the other rotators 20b and 20c are stopped regardless of the symbol. Has been. Furthermore, the symbol combination corresponding to “Replay combination” is set to the symbol combination of “Reflay-Replay-Replay”. In S60 of FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the rotation of each of the cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c is stopped and the symbol combination obtained on the effective line corresponds to any one of these symbol combinations. And when it is judged that it does not correspond to any symbol combination (namely, it is not winning) (S60: NO), it returns to the top process (S10) of the game control process of FIG. 9, and again. Wait until a game medal is bet. When it is confirmed that a bet is made (S10: YES), the above-described series of processing is executed again.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that any winning is achieved (S60: YES), it is first determined whether or not the winning combination is a replay combination (S70). If the player has won the replay role (S70: YES), the game control process of FIG. 9 is performed after automatically re-inserting the number of game medals that have been inserted in the game that won the replay role (S80). Returning to the first process (S10), it is determined whether or not a game medal has been betted. If not, the process waits until a game medal is bet again.

  On the other hand, when the winning game combination is not a replay combination (S70: NO), “BB combination”, “RB combination”, “tin small combination”, “plum small combination”, “cherry small combination” Therefore, a process of paying out the number of game medals corresponding to the winning game player (medal payout process) is executed (S90). Such processing is performed by determining the number of game medals to be paid out inside the main control board 200 and then outputting a control signal from the main control board 200 to the medal payout device 118.

  When the game medals are paid out in this way, it is next determined whether or not the winning game combination is the “RB combination” (S100). If the player has won the RB combination (S100: YES), after performing the regular bonus game (S110), the process returns to the process of S10 and the above-described series of processes are executed. Here, the regular bonus game (RB game) is the following game. Until a predetermined number of games are played (for example, 12 games) or until a predetermined number of times is won (for example, until 8 times are won), the number of combinations of symbols for establishing a game combination is increased. The probability of winning in the lottery is also set to a high probability. For this reason, in the regular bonus game, the player can acquire a large amount of game medals, and the game state is advantageous to the player. During the regular bonus game, the RB role or BB role is not won.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning game combination is not the “RB combination” (S100: NO), it is determined whether or not it is the “BB combination” (S120). If the BB combination has been won (S120: YES), after playing the big bonus game (S130), the process returns to S10 and the above-described series of processes are executed. Here, the big bonus game (BB game) is a game state in which the above-described regular bonus game can be continuously generated a plurality of times until a predetermined number (for example, 465) of game medals are paid out. is there. In other words, the big bonus game is composed of an introductory game until the “RB role” winning is established and a regular bonus game after the “RB role” winning is established, and a predetermined number (for example, 465). Until the game medals are paid out, the introduction game and the regular bonus game are repeated. When the number of game medals paid out during the big bonus game reaches a predetermined number (for example, 465), the big bonus game ends. For this reason, the big bonus game can acquire a larger amount of game medals than the above-described regular bonus game, and is in a more advantageous game state for the player.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning game combination is not “BB combination” (S120: NO), it is not any of “Replay combination”, “RB combination”, and “BB combination”. In other words, the game medal has been paid out in S90 for winning the small role. Therefore, in this case, after returning to the first process (S10) of the game control process of FIG. 9 and determining whether or not a game medal has been bet, the series of processes described above are repeated.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a game medal is inserted, the start lever 36 is operated, an internal lottery is performed, and the spinning cylinder stop buttons 38a, 38b, 38c are pressed, and the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, The game progresses by repeating the stop display of the symbol of 20c with the symbol combination corresponding to the game combination won in the internal lottery.

  Next, an effect using the shutter device 60 will be described. FIG. 11 is a front view of the shutter device 60 and the like for explaining the effect using the shutter device 60. In the shutter device 60 of the present embodiment, the movement of the shielding member 61 is interlocked with the stop operation of the rotating drums 20a, 20b, and 20c. Specifically, during normal games where bonus games such as big bonus games and regular bonus games have not occurred, the shielding member 61 is folded at the top so that it cannot be seen by the player, and bonus games are generated. It is assumed that the shielding member 61 comes down when the condition to do is satisfied.

  First, the start lever 36 is operated to start rotation of the spinning cylinders 20a, 20b, and 20c. Then, when the condition for generating the bonus game is satisfied, when the first rotation stop button 38a (38b, 38c) is pressed, the two shielding members 61 move downward, and the upper portion of the panel unit 5 It will be in the 1st closed state which closes 1/3 (refer to Drawing 11 (a)). Thereby, the upper part 1/3 of the panel part 5 is shielded by the shielding member 61, and the upper part 1/3 of the “big hit” character symbol displayed on the surface of the shielding member 61 becomes visible to the player.

  Next, when the second rotation stop button 38a (38b, 38c) is pressed, the four shielding members 61 move downward, and the second closed state in which the upper 2/3 of the panel unit 5 is closed. (See FIG. 11B). Thereby, the upper part 2/3 of the panel part 5 is shielded by the shielding member 61, and the upper part 2/3 of the "big hit" character symbol displayed on the surface of the shielding member 61 becomes visible to the player.

  Next, when the third spinning cylinder stop button 38a (38b, 38c) is pressed, the six shielding members 61 move downward to enter the third closed state in which the entire panel unit 5 is closed (FIG. 11). (See (c)). Thereby, the whole panel part 5 is shielded by the shielding member 61, and the entire “hit” character symbol displayed on the surface of the shielding member 61 can be visually recognized by the player. Thereby, a player's expectation with respect to generation | occurrence | production of a bonus game can be improved.

  It should be noted that an effect using the shielding member 61 may be performed even when the condition for generating the bonus game is not satisfied. For example, when the first and second rotating cylinder stop buttons 38a (38b, 38c) are pressed, some of the shielding members 61 are moved downward (see FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b)). All the shielding members 61 may be moved upward when the third spinning cylinder stop button 38a (38b, 38c) is pressed.

  As described above, by providing a gap at a predetermined interval between the panel unit 5 and the transparent plate 6 provided on the front side thereof, the shutter device 60 capable of moving up and down can be provided in this gap. By adopting such a configuration, since it is not necessary to process the panel unit 5 itself, it is possible to install the shutter device 60 without significantly changing the design of the front door 2 of the gaming machine 1. For this reason, the versatility of the panel part 5 is not lost.

  In addition, by providing the shutter device 60 on the front door 2, when maintenance such as medal replenishment or wiring check is necessary on the housing 3 side, the shutter device 60 does not get in the way, and the maintainability deteriorates. There is no.

  Further, the back side space of the operation unit 2mb is usually a dead space, and the upper part of the shutter device 60 is positioned in the back side space of the operation unit 2mb, and the shield member 61 in a folded state is operated. The dead space on the back side of the operation unit 2mb can be effectively used by being stored in the back side space of the part 2mb.

  Further, since the transparent plate 6 is provided on the front side of the shutter device 60, the player cannot directly contact the shutter device 60. Therefore, the shutter device 60 can be prevented from being lost.
