Inside the side walls 61S and 63S of the first and third driven rotating members 61 and 63, the substantially fan-shaped translucent resin sheet 82 and the electric decoration board 81 shown in FIG. The translucent resin sheet 82 has fine irregularities on the surface like frosted glass, and the electrical decoration substrate 81 includes a plurality of LEDs 81A on the front surface. Then, the light of the LED 81A group is dispersed through the translucent resin sheet 82, and further passes through the fan-shaped main body portions 61H and 63H of the first and third driven rotating members 61 and 63 and is visually recognized by the player. Further, in the first driven rotating member 61, a part of the LED 81A is located behind the lens portion 61R, and the light passing through the lens portion 61R is visually recognized by the player. In addition, magnets 61N are accommodated on both sides of the semicircular hole 61V inside the side wall 61S of the first driven rotating member 61 (see FIG. 9).

  As shown in FIG. 9, a cylindrical wall 80 </ b> S protrudes rearward from the inner edge portion of each ring portion 80 of the first and third driven rotating members 61 and 63. As shown in FIG. 11, electric wire insertion holes 61 </ b> D and 63 </ b> D are formed in the first and third driven rotating members 61 and 63 in the range from the cylindrical wall 80 </ b> S to the inner edge of the ring portion 80. . And the electric wire for energizing each electric decoration board 81 of the 1st and 3rd follower rotation members 61 and 63 passes through electric wire penetration hole 73A of driven rotation spindle 73 from electric wire penetration hole 61D and 63D, and a driven rotation spindle. 73 is introduced to the inside of the support base 69 and extended behind the support base 69 and connected to a control board (not shown) provided on the rear surface of the display mechanism frame 50. As a result, the electric wire is prevented from being caught by the peripheral parts of the other first to fourth driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64.

  Among the first to fourth driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64, between the adjacent driven rotating members, that is, between the first and second driven rotating members 61, 62, the second and third. A relative movement restricting stopper mechanism for restricting the relative positions of the third and fourth driven rotating members 63 and 64 is provided between the driven rotating members 62 and 63 and the third and fourth driven rotating members 63 and 64. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a stopper receiving hole 62 </ b> Z is formed at a position near the ring portion 80 in the sector-shaped main body portion 62 </ b> H of the second driven rotating member 62. The stopper receiving hole 62Z has a fan shape having a common center with the ring portion 80. On the other hand, from the position close to the ring portion 80 in the sector main body 61H of the first driven rotation member 61, a stopper projection 61T is formed to project into the stopper receiving hole 62Z. The stopper protrusion 61T has a protruding piece shape, and can move in the stopper receiving hole 62Z and come into surface contact with both inner surfaces of 62Z. The stopper receiving hole 62Z and the stopper protrusion 61T constitute a relative movement restricting stopper mechanism between the first driven rotating member 61 and the second driven rotating member 62.

A relative movement restricting stopper mechanism with respect to the driven rotation member 63 is configured, and a third protrusion receiving portion 64T formed in the third driven rotation member 64 and a stopper receiving hole 64Z formed in the fourth driven rotation member 64 form the third. A relative movement restricting stopper mechanism between the driven rotating member 63 and the fourth driven rotating member 64 is configured. And while the 1st-4th driven rotation member 61, 62, 63, 64 rotates to a regular angle from an origin position, respectively, stopper protrusion part 61T, 62T, 63T is the inner surface of 62Z, 63Z, 64Z For example, when a malfunction occurs in which any one of the first to fourth drive gears 60A, 60B, 60C, 60D and the driven gears 61G, 62G, 63G, 64G is disengaged, the stopper The protrusions 61T, 62T, and 63T are in contact with the inner side surfaces of 62Z, 63Z, and 64Z. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a situation where the first to fourth driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64 are largely divided. In the present embodiment, the relative movement restricting stopper mechanism is arranged in the overlapping portion of the adjacent driven rotation members 61, 62, 63, 64, so that it is not noticeable to the player. it can.

  The first to fourth driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64 are provided with assembly markers 61M, 62M, 63M, 64M. The assembly driven marker 61M of the first driven rotating member 61 is formed by imprinting “R1” on a protruding piece protruding laterally from one side edge of the fan-shaped main body 61H. The assembly markers 62M to 64M of the four driven rotating members 62 to 64 are formed by marking “R2”, “R3”, and “R4” on the projecting pieces. When the first to fourth driven rotation members 61, 62, 63, 64 are arranged at the origin position, the assembly markers 61 M, 62 M, 63 M, 64 M are sequentially shifted to the side away from the driven rotation support shaft 73. Thus, each marking can be seen at a glance (see FIG. 3). Thereby, the confirmation work of the assembly arrangement of the 1st-4th driven rotation members 61, 62, 63, 64 can be performed easily.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the ring portion 80 of the driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64, the driving rotating member 60, the worm wheel 66, and the worm gear 65 are covered by a cover base 68 made of translucent resin. It is attached so as to be covered from the upper part, and the shaft parts of the driven rotation support shaft 73, the drive rotation support shaft 72, and the relay rotation support shaft 71 are fixed from the upper part, and the movement of each rotary component in the rotation axis direction is restricted. The cover base 68 is provided with a stopper portion 68S that comes into contact with the driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64 when the rotating components rotate and the driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64 are deployed. It has been.

  The above is the description regarding the structure of the right side fan mechanism accessory 57 in FIGS. 2 and 3, the left side fan mechanism accessory 57 has a slightly different shape of the fixing case 58, and the markings of the assembly markers 61M, 62M, 63M, and 64M are “L1”, “L2”, and “L3”. ”And“ L4 ”.

In some cases, the first to fourth driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, and 64 constituting the fan mechanism are completely overlapped and extend along a pair of side portions of the effect display window 53. In this state, the entire fan mechanism combination 57, 57 is hidden behind the display decoration frame 41 (the state shown in FIG. 1). Thereby, the display screen 36 can be visually recognized. When the fan mechanism members 57, 57 are both opened, the side edges of the first driven rotating members 61, 61 of the fan mechanism members 57, 57 are joined to each other as shown in FIG. , 61V to form a circular hole 61Y. At this time, the magnets 61N and 61N of the first driven rotating members 61 and 61 are attracted to each other, and the gap between the first driven rotating members 61 and 61 is reduced, and the joining state is stabilized. As a result, it is possible to produce a novel operation effect that the display screen 36 can be viewed through the circular hole 61Y, and the effect image displayed on the display screen 36 and the operation of the driven rotating members 61, 62, 63, 64.
