  FIG. 9 shows a control system of the pachinko machine. The control system of the pachinko machine includes a main control board 80 and an effect control board 81. The main control board 80 is responsible for controlling the game operation of the entire pachinko machine. When the normal symbol starting means 14 detects a game ball, it determines whether or not it is a random number and determines whether or not it is hit. In addition to the normal symbol system control means 82 for opening the variable winning award 29 of the special symbol starting means 15 for a predetermined time after the normal symbol after the fluctuation of the symbol display means 21 stops in a winning manner, the random number lottery means 83, the determination means 84, special symbol control means 85, stop mode determination means 86, fluctuation pattern determination means 87, command transmission means 88, and special game generation means 89.

  The random number lottery means 83 draws a random value when the special symbol starting means 15 detects a game ball, and the judging means 84 checks whether the random number value drawn by the random number lottery means 83 matches the big hit random number value or not. It comes to judge. The special symbol control means 85 changes the special symbol of the special symbol display means 23 for a predetermined period of time when the special symbol starting means 15 detects the game ball, and when the determination result of the determination means 84 is a big win, At this time, the special symbols are controlled so as to stop each in a disengagement mode.

  The stop mode determining means 86 is for drawing and determining the stop mode of the effect symbols 25a to 25c when the determination result of the determination means 84 is a big hit. Fluctuation pattern determining means 87 is used for lottery determination of the big hit fluctuation pattern when the determination result of the determination means 84 is the big hit, and the outlier fluctuation pattern when it is out of place, and is determined in advance according to the determination result of the determination means 84. One variation pattern to be used for variation of the production symbols 25a to 25c at that time is selected and determined from the plurality of types of jackpot variation patterns and out-of-range variation patterns.

  There are a plurality of types of jackpot variation patterns and out-of-range variation patterns depending on the length of variation time, presence / absence of reach during variation of the production symbols 25a to 25c, and the like. For example, there are many types of jackpot fluctuation patterns such as jackpot fluctuation pattern 1, jackpot fluctuation pattern 2, jackpot fluctuation pattern 3,... A variety of patterns are prepared, such as reach / displacement variation pattern 1, reach / displacement variation pattern 2, reach / disappearance variation pattern 1, reach / disappearance variation pattern 2, etc. Has been.

  In general, the fluctuation pattern with reach has a longer fluctuation time than the fluctuation pattern with no reach, and one or more types that are part of the fluctuation pattern with reach have a variation time of the jackpot fluctuation pattern. Some have close variation times. In the case of a fluctuation pattern with a long fluctuation time, the appearance rate is lower than that of a fluctuation pattern with a short fluctuation time and a fluctuation pattern with no reach, but the reliability that a special symbol becomes a big hit after a fluctuation becomes large. ing.

  The special symbol control means 85 changes the special symbol of the special symbol display means 23 in response to the detection of the game ball by the special symbol start means 15 and changes according to the change time of the change pattern determined by the change pattern determination means 87. The special symbol is stopped in either the big hit mode or the off mode according to the determination result of the big hit / out of the determination means 84. The command transmission unit 88 performs one-way communication of the stop mode command determined by the stop mode determination unit 86, the variation pattern command determined by the variation pattern determination unit 87, and the variation stop command for each variation pattern to the effect control board 81 side. It is supposed to send by.

  The special game generating means 89 is for generating a special game (bonus game) advantageous to the player after the special symbol is stopped in the big win mode when the judging means 84 determines that the big hit is, for example, the big winning means 16 Is opened a plurality of times for a predetermined time. Note that the opening / closing pattern of the special winning means 16 in the special game can be determined as appropriate. In addition, in special games, in addition to the opening of the big winning means 16 or separately from the opening of the big winning means 16, it is advantageous for other players to change the probability of changing the jackpot lottery probability on condition of the type of jackpot mode of the special symbol. Various elements may be added.

  The effect control board 81 analyzes each command transmitted from the main control board 80 and controls the effect symbols 25a to 25c, the background image 26, and the notice effect image 27 displayed on the image display unit 20 of the image display means 13. Further, it is for controlling the operation of the movable effector 22 and the light emission of the main effector 38. The command receiving means 90, the effect symbol control means 91, the notice effect determining means 92, the effect image control means 93, and the movable effect control means. 94, light emission effect control means 95 and the like.

  The command receiving means 90 is for receiving and analyzing each command transmitted from the command transmitting means 88 to the effect control board 81 side. In accordance with the variation pattern command from the main control board 80, the effect symbol control means 91 changes the effect symbols 25a to 25c in a predetermined variation pattern for a predetermined time in synchronization with the variation of the special symbol on the special symbol display means 23, and a stop command is issued. When there is, the effect symbols 25a to 25c are stopped in the jackpot effect mode or the off effect mode. The three effect symbols 25a to 25c are stopped in the stop mode specified by the stop mode command so that all the special symbols stop in the big hit mode, and in other cases, the presence or absence of reach Accordingly, the stop is performed in the stop mode selected on the effect symbol control means 91 side.

  The notice effect determining means 92 includes one or a plurality of variation pattern commands that are part of the reach or variation pattern having a variation time that is close to the variation time of the jackpot variation pattern, or all or a variation pattern command of the jackpot variation pattern. If there is, a random number value is randomly selected on the condition of the variation pattern command to determine whether or not to perform a notice effect. In the case of the big hit variation pattern, the lottery rate of the notice effect may be higher than that of the loss variation pattern. In that case, the lottery rate may be changed for each variation pattern.

  The effect image control means 93 selects one of a plurality of types of background images 26 according to the variation pattern command to control the background images 26 of the effect symbols 25a to 25c, and the notice effect determination means 92 determines the notice effect. After the effect symbols 25a to 25c reach, the support member 39 side is centered on the main effector 38 at the effect position A in synchronization with the effect operation of the movable effector 22 and the light emission of the main effector 38. It is possible to control to emit and display the radial notice effect image 27 in four directions including.

  For this reason, when the notice effect image 27 is emitted and displayed on the image display unit 20, the player displays the linear and belt-like notice effect images 27 corresponding to the back side of the support member 39 among the notice effect images 27. It will be directly visible through the see-through hole 54. The notice effect image 27 may be displayed in a flashing manner or in a blinking manner. Further, the notice effect image 27 may be displayed in spots in a plurality of locations in the radial direction so as to correspond to the fluoroscopic holes 54 in addition to the line shape and the band shape. The notice member effect image 27 may cause the support member 39 having light transparency to emit light with appropriate luminance.

  The movable effect control means 94 is for controlling the effect operation of the main effect body 38, and when the notice effect determining means 92 decides the notice effect and the effect symbols 25a to 25c become reach, the drive means 35 The main effector 38 is moved from the retracted position B to the effect position A substantially in the center of the image display unit 20 by driving, and after performing the notice effect by the light emitting element 44 at the effect position A, the main effector 38 is moved. Control is made to return to the retreat position B. The main effect body 38 may stop at the effect position A for a predetermined time, or may swing within a certain range in the vertical direction. Further, after reaching the effect position A, it may be immediately returned to the retreat position B.

  The light effect control means 95 controls the main effect body 38 to emit light. The notice effect determination means 92 determines the notice effect, the effect symbols 25a to 25c reach and the main effect body 38 operates to the effect position A. At this time, the main effector 38 is caused to emit light by the light emission of the light emitting element 44 in synchronization with the operation. At this time, the main effect body 38 may emit light at the same time as the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20. Alternatively, the main effect body 38 may be flashed several times, and the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 may be displayed simultaneously or with a time difference during the flashing light emission.

  This pachinko machine performs the following controls and effects during the game. That is, when the special symbol starting unit 15 detects a game ball, the random number lottery unit 83 draws a random number value, and the determination unit 84 determines whether or not the big hit is based on whether or not the random number value is the same as the big hit random number value. I do. And if a determination result is a big hit, the stop mode determination means 86 will determine the stop mode of the production symbols 25a-25c. If the determination result is a big hit, the fluctuation pattern determining means 87 selects one of a plurality of types of big hit fluctuation patterns, and if it is out of the range, the fluctuation pattern determining means 87 selects one of a plurality of kinds of outlier fluctuation patterns. To do.

  Subsequently, after the special symbol of the special symbol display means 23 starts to fluctuate and fluctuates for the fluctuation time designated by the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern determination means 87, the determination result of the jackpot / off is determined by the determination means 84. In response to this, the vehicle stops in either a big hit mode or an off mode. If the determination means 84 determines that the game is a big win, after the special symbol stops in the big win mode, a special game is generated by the special game generation means 89 and the big winning means 16 is released a plurality of times. The game can be continued in an advantageous state.

  On the other hand, when the stop mode determining unit 86 determines the stop mode of the effect symbols 25a to 25c and the variation pattern determining unit 87 determines the variation pattern of the effect symbols 25a to 25c, the command transmission unit 88 moves to the effect control board 81 side. Send each command. On the effect control board 81 side, when the variation pattern command is received, the effect symbols 25a to 25c start changing in synchronization with the start of the change of the special symbol under the control of the effect symbol control means 91 (see FIG. 11A). It fluctuates for a predetermined time according to the fluctuation pattern.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 (b) and 11 (c), each of the effect symbols 25a to 25c shifts to a swing variation close to a stop state in the order of left, right, middle, etc. Finally stop. Further, the background image 26 of the effect symbols 25a to 25c is displayed under the control of the effect image control means 93.

  For example, when the variation pattern determining means 87 selects any one of the jackpot variation patterns by the jackpot determination of the determination means 84, or when selecting any one of the reach reach variation patterns close to the variation time of the jackpot variation pattern In this case, the notice effect determining means 92 determines whether or not to perform the notice effect. If the notice effect determining means 92 determines the notice effect, after the effect symbols 25a to 25c reach reach, the main effector 38 is activated, the main effector 38 is emitted, and the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 is displayed. Produce a notice by combining

  That is, the main effect body 38 is normally in the retracted position B as shown in FIG. 12A, but while the three effect symbols 25a to 25c are fluctuated in a predetermined fluctuation pattern, the main effect body 38 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the reach of the two effect symbols 25a and 25c is achieved, the drive means 35 is activated by the control of the movable effect control means 94. Then, the drive member 35 drives the support member 39 through the crank mechanism 64 of the interlocking mechanism 65 and the like in the downward direction around the pivot 63, so that the main effector 38 is shown in FIG. It operates from the retreat position B to the effect position A in the approximate center of the image display unit 20. At this time, the support member 39 is inclined along one diagonal line from one upper corner side of the image display unit 20 to the center side.

  When the main effector 38 moves to the effect position A, as shown in FIG. 12C, the light-emitting element 44 emits light in synchronization with the main effector 38 by the control of the light-emission effect control means 95, and the light is emitted. The light emitting display 40 of the cover 42 is in a light emitting state. On the other hand, under the control of the effect image control means 93, four notice effect images 27 are emitted and displayed on the portion including the support member 39 side of the image display unit 20 in synchronization with the light emission of the main effect body 38. In addition, in FIG.12 (c), each light emission state is shown with an oblique line.

  Therefore, the notice effect image 27 corresponding to the back side of the support member 39 among the four notice effect images 27 is visually recognized through the plurality of fluoroscopic holes 54 in the longitudinal direction formed on the support member 39. The notice effect image 27 is lit and displayed in an X shape around the main effect body 38 in the light emission state.

  For this reason, although the support member 39 is on the front surface of the image display unit 20, the support member 39 does not interfere with the notice effect image 27 on the image display unit 20 side, and the movable effector 22 and the image display unit 20 A notice effect that harmonizes with the notice effect image 27 becomes possible, and there is an advantage that the effect of the effect is improved as compared with the conventional case.

  As for the notice effect, the notice effect determining means 92 is selected when the change pattern determining means 87 selects any one of the jackpot change patterns, or when selecting any of the specific reach and change patterns close to the change time of the jackpot change pattern. Therefore, if such a notice effect is provided, the player can have a sense of expectation for the jackpot.

  Thereafter, the support member 39 is swung in the retracting direction by driving of the driving means 35 and the main effector 38 returns to the retracted position B, and three effect symbols 25a to 25c and a background image 26 are displayed on the image display unit 20. Displayed again, the effect symbols 25a to 25c continue to fluctuate in a predetermined fluctuation pattern, and stop in either the jackpot effect mode or the off-render effect mode by a stop command.

  When the main effector 38 returns to the retreat position B, the light emission of the main effector 38 ends and the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 disappears, but the main effector 38 remains in the light-emitting state. You may take other production forms, such as returning.

  Because of the mechanism, the support member 39 that supports the main effector 38 swings about the pivot 63 with the upper corner side of the image display unit 20 as a fulcrum, so that the main effector 38 is substantially at the center of the image display unit 20 at the effect position A. In spite of being located, the amount of movement of the support member 39 can be made relatively small, and the mechanism can be miniaturized.

  In addition, the main effect body 38 is located at the effect position A at the substantially center of the image display unit 20, and the support member 39 in a light emitting state and the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 are integrated with the main effect body 38 as a center. Since a group having one group such as a radial line group and a band group is formed, the production effect is further improved.

  Further, since the preview effect image 27 is seen through the plurality of see-through holes 54 in the longitudinal direction formed in the support member 39, compared with the case where the support member 39 is provided with a light emitting element or the like to emit light. The structure can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, the pair of side walls 51 are arranged in a state of being substantially perpendicular to the front surface of the image display unit 20, and the both side walls 51 are connected in the width direction by connecting walls 53 at a plurality of longitudinal positions. In addition, the strength of the support member 39 can be ensured while increasing the opening of the see-through hole 54.

  By disposing the support member 39 close to the image display unit 20, the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 can be sufficiently seen through the see-through hole 54. In this case, the support member 39 that forms the periphery of the fluoroscopic hole 54 may emit light by the light of the notice effect image 27. However, the support member 39 may be formed of a material having no light blocking property. If the light from the notice effect image 27 in the peripheral portion is blocked by the support member 39, the notice effect image 27 can be more easily visually recognized from the fluoroscopic hole 54.

  Further, a strip-shaped flexible wiring 56 is used for wiring to the light emitting element 44 of the main effect body 38 and is arranged on the back side of the support member 39 so that the width direction thereof is substantially perpendicular to the image display unit 20. Therefore, the flexible wiring 56 does not become a major obstacle when the effect image 27 is seen through the see-through hole 54.

  13 and 14 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the support member 39 is formed in a ladder shape by a pair of side walls 51 and a plurality of connecting walls 53, and the dimension in the front-rear direction is smaller than the dimension in the width direction. A bent portion 97 that is bent inward is provided at the front end of each side wall 51 in the longitudinal direction, and a sandwiching recess 59 and a flexible wiring 56 are disposed on the back side of the one bent portion 97. In addition, the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 is intermittently displayed at a predetermined interval in the radial direction so as to correspond to each fluoroscopic hole 54 of the support member 39.

  Since the support member 39 can visually recognize the preview effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 through the fluoroscopic hole 54, even if the size in the width direction is increased as in this embodiment, the notification of the image display unit 20 is thereby performed. There is no hindrance to the effect image 27. Note that the notice effect image 27 may be displayed intermittently or continuously.

  FIG. 15 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the support member 39 is curved in an arc shape, and a plurality of see-through holes 54 are formed in the arc direction which is the longitudinal direction thereof. The notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20 has an arc-shaped effect image 27 corresponding to the arrangement of the fluoroscopic holes 54 of the support member 39, and a plurality of the effect images 27 are displayed around the main effect body 38. Yes.

  In addition, each effect image 27 of the notice effect image 27 is continuous in the direction of the arrow as indicated by a solid line, a one-dot chain line, and a two-dot chain line centering on the main effect body 38 so as to correspond to the see-through hole 54 of the support member 39 in order. Rotating movement intermittently or intermittently.

  The support member 39 does not need to be straight as in this embodiment, and can be curved or bent into an arc shape or other shapes according to the notice effect image 27 displayed on the image display unit 20 or the like.

  FIG. 16 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention. 16A and 16B, the support member 39 has a substantially trapezoidal shape having a pair of side walls 51, a front wall 52, and a connecting wall 53, and the front wall 52 has a light transmitting portion. An irregular reflection portion 98 for irregularly reflecting light from the notice effect image 27 is provided in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39 on the front side. The inner surface of each side wall 51 is a reflecting surface 99 such as a flat mirror surface that reflects light from the notice effect image 27 to the visual recognition part 49.

  In the support member 39 of FIG. 16C, the reflecting surface 99 is formed by an arcuate mirror surface or the like. In addition, the condensing part 100 is comprised by the reflective surface 99. FIG.

  In this way, when the notice effect image 27 is displayed on the image display unit 20, the irregular reflection part 98 that constitutes the visual recognition part 49 of the front wall 52 receives the light from the notice effect image 27 and diffusely reflects it. The person sees the notice effect image 27 indirectly through the light emission of the visual recognition part 49. Therefore, the visual recognition part 49 of the support member 39 may be visually recognizable in addition to directly recognizing the notice effect image 27.

  Further, since the support member 39 has the reflecting surface 99 that condenses on the visual recognition part 49, the visual recognition part 49 can be brightly illuminated even when the image display part 20 is a liquid crystal type or the like. In addition, the rigidity of the support member 39 can be prevented from lowering compared to the first embodiment in which the transparent hole 54 is formed in the front wall 52 of the support member 39, and the cross-sectional area of the support member 39 is reduced. Can be achieved.

  17 and 18 illustrate a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The support member 39 of this embodiment is provided with a visual recognition part 49 on the light transmitting front wall 52. On the back side of the visual recognition part 49, light from the notice effect image 27 of the image display part 20 is visible. A condensing lens 101 for condensing light is provided. A condensing unit 100 is configured by the condensing lens 101.

  The visual recognition part 49 is provided long along the longitudinal direction of the support member 39, and the condensing lens 101 has a convex cross section, and the pair of side walls 51 of the support member 39 are opposed to the visual recognition part 49 in the front-rear direction. The rear end is fitted from the back side. The visual recognition unit 49 is disposed on the focal point of the condensing lens 101 or in the vicinity of the focal length, for example, within the focal length, and condenses light in a stripe shape or a band shape on the visual recognition unit 49. . The condensing lens 101 may be fitted and fixed between the side walls 51 between the connecting walls 53 at both ends, or may be fixed by adhesion or the like. The connecting wall 53 is lower than the height of the side wall 51 so as not to interfere with the condenser lens 101.

  Thus, by providing the condensing lens 101 corresponding to the visual recognition part 49 on the back side of the support member 39, when the notice effect image 27 is displayed on the back side of the support member 39 on the image display part 20, the light is emitted. Since the light can be condensed in a streak shape or a belt shape with respect to the visual recognition part 49, the light emission of the irregular reflection part 98 of the visual recognition part 49 can be made clearer.

  In this embodiment, there are a plurality of connecting walls 53 in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39, and the visual recognition part 49 is divided into a plurality of longitudinal parts of the support member 39. One may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the support member 39 in the portion exposed from the front ornament 31 when the is positioned at the production position A.

  FIG. 19 illustrates a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the support member 39 is provided with a visual recognition part 49 made of a convex lens 102. The focal point of the convex lens 102 substantially coincides with the display surface of the image display unit 20. When the convex lens 102 is provided on the front wall 52 of the support member 39, it may be formed integrally with the front or back side as shown in FIG. May be formed integrally. Further, as shown in FIG. 19C, the convex lens 102 may be fixed by bonding or the like from the front side or the back side corresponding to the hole of the front wall 52. One or more visual recognition parts 49 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39.

  In this way, by providing the visual recognition unit 49 with the convex lens 102 whose focal point substantially coincides with the display surface of the image display unit 20 or is located in the vicinity thereof, the notice effect image 27 displayed on the image display unit 20 is enlarged. And see through.

  FIG. 20 illustrates a seventh embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the support member 39 is molded of a synthetic resin material having a light shielding property, and reinforcing ribs 103 are provided in the longitudinal direction on both sides of the support member 39 in the width direction. In FIG. 20A, a reinforcing rib 103 is provided on the rear end side of the side wall 51. In FIG. 20 (b), the rear side of the side wall 51 is configured to be substantially parallel and the front side is configured to be front-constricted, and a reinforcing rib 103 is formed outside the bent portion.

  If the supporting member 39 having the light shielding property is used as described above, the light from the notice effect image 27 in the peripheral portion of the fluoroscopic hole 54 can be shielded. It is possible to see through clearly. Further, by providing the reinforcing ribs 103 on both sides in the width direction of the support member 39, the rigidity of the support member 39 itself can be improved and the light shielding region can be expanded on both sides in the width direction. In addition, if the light shielding sheet 104 is stuck as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 20A, the support member 39 can be molded from a light-transmitting synthetic resin material.

  21 and 22 illustrate an eighth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the game board 10 is made of a synthetic resin, and a light-emitting display means 105 for production is mounted on the back side of the game board 10 and a front decoration body 31 covering the peripheral portion of the light-emitting display means 105 is mounted on the front side. The movable effect body 22 is attached to the front decoration body 31.

  The light emitting display unit 105 includes a light emitting display unit 106. The light-emitting display unit 106 includes a substrate 107 and a large number of light-emitting elements 108 such as LEDs arranged vertically and horizontally at a predetermined interval on the front surface of the substrate 107, and selectively emits the light-emitting elements 108 as necessary. The effect display such as the effect symbols 25a to 25c and the notice effect image 27 is displayed. The movable effector 22 includes a main effector 38 and a support member 39 that supports the main effector 38, an effect position A that protrudes to the front side of the light emitting display unit 106, and a retreat position B that retreats from the light emitting display unit 106. You can leave and leave between.

  The support member 39 is provided with one or a plurality of visual recognition parts 49 each including a see-through hole 54. The visual recognition part 49 is arranged so as to correspond to one or a plurality of light emitting elements 108 of the light emitting display part 106 when the main production body 38 is located at the production position A, and a plurality of visual recognition parts 49 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39, for example. It has been.

  In this case, the movable effector 22 protrudes to the effect position A at the time of the notice effect, and at least light emission in a direction corresponding to the back side of the support member 39 in synchronization with the protrusion of the movable effector 22 to the effect position A. Each light emitting element 108 in a diagonal direction centering on the main effector 38 in the effect position A, for example, including the element 108 emits light in the X direction to display a notice effect. A black portion in FIG. 22 shows the light emitting element 108 in a light emitting state. Note that a part of the light-emitting elements 108 other than the light-emitting elements 108 on the diagonal may be emitted in a scattered manner, or all may be emitted.

  In this way, the player can visually recognize the light emission display by the light emitting element 108 corresponding to the back side of the support member 39 of the movable effector 22 through the see-through hole 54, and is harmonious as in the case of each embodiment. A preliminary announcement is possible. Further, when the light emitting element 108 is an LED or the like, high light emission luminance can be obtained. Therefore, even if the light emitting display unit 20 is arranged on the back side of the game board 10, the light emitting display is transmitted through the visual recognition unit 49 of the support member 39. It is easily visible. Note that an organic EL or the like can be used as the light-emitting display portion 106 with high luminance.

  23 and 24 illustrate a ninth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the main effector 38 is composed of a plurality of effectors 109, and each effector 109 is provided between the effect position A and the retreat position B by a pair of upper and lower support mechanisms 110 via a support member 39. It is supported so as to be able to reciprocate in the left and right perspective directions, and is driven out and back by the drive motor 111 of the drive means 35. Each effector 109 is halved so as to form one main effector 38 at or near the effect position A on the front surface of the image display unit 20, and the fluoroscopic holes 54 are provided on both upper and lower sides thereof. A support member 39 having a visual recognition part 49 such as the above is provided.

  Each support mechanism 110 is disposed on both upper and lower sides of the image display unit 20 within the mounting frame 32, and is supported by a pair of front and rear guide rails 112 disposed in the left-right direction and slidable in the left-right direction by the guide rails 112. The supporting member 39 is connected to each sliding body 113. The guide rail 112 and the drive motor 111 are attached to the mounting frame 32 by a bracket or the like not shown.

  The driving means 35 includes a rack 114 formed on the front and rear sides of each sliding body 113, a pinion 115 with which the rack 114 meshes from both front and rear sides, and a drive motor 111 that rotationally drives the pinion 115. As a result of the forward / reverse rotation of the drive motor 111, each effector 109 is moved back and forth between the effect position A and the retracted position B.

  The upper support mechanism 110 is covered from the upper side by the upper wall part 34b of the peripheral wall 34a surrounding the front side of the display window 33, and the lower support mechanism 110 is covered by the lower wall part 34c of the peripheral wall 34a. Further, notches 34e are formed in the side wall portions 34d on both the left and right sides of the peripheral wall 34a so as to correspond to the effect body 109 and the support member 39.

  When each effect body 109 moves to the effect position A to constitute one main effect body 38 on the image display unit 20, a predetermined notice effect image 27 is emitted and displayed around the main effect body 38. A part of the notice effect image 27 at this time is displayed corresponding to the back side of the visual recognition part 49 of the support member 39.

  In this way, the main effect body 38 is configured by the effect body 109 divided into a plurality of parts, and the plurality of effect bodies 109 are combined at the effect position A on the front surface of the image display unit 20 to form one main effect body 38. By configuring, the main production body 38 at the production position A can be made larger while using the small production body 109. Since the main effector 38 is divided into a plurality of effectors 109, each effector 109 can be accommodated in a relatively small accommodation space when retracted to the retracted position B and accommodated in the accommodation space. .

  In addition, since the main effector 38 is divided into a plurality of effectors 109, a visual notice part 49 is provided on the support member 39 that supports it, and the notice effect picture displayed on the image display part 20 through the visual recognition part 49. 27 can be visually recognized, the support member 39 does not interfere with the notice effect image 27 of the image display unit 20.

  In this embodiment, the main effect body 38 is composed of the two effect bodies 109 on the left and right sides, and each effect body 109 is moved in the left-right direction. One main production body 38 may be constituted by the body 109, or may be constituted by three or more production bodies 109 in the circumferential direction. Also, a plurality of effects bodies 109 may reciprocate in the same direction, and the effects bodies 109 may overlap or leave at the effect position A.

  As mentioned above, although each Example of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to this each Example, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, the viewing hole 54, the convex lens 102, the irregular reflection part 98 having light transmittance, and the like are illustrated as the visual recognition part 49, but other parts may be used.

  When the support member 39 is a member that is long in a specific direction, the visual recognition part 49 may be configured to be long along the longitudinal direction, and one or a plurality of the visual recognition parts 49 may be provided in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39. Moreover, the visual recognition part 49 does not need to be long in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39, and may be long in the width direction. Furthermore, a plurality of visual recognition portions 49 such as round holes and square holes may be arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction of the support member 39. When the support member 39 has a circular shape, a cloud shape, or the like, the visual recognition portion 49 may be provided in one or a plurality of specific portions that are a part of the support member 39.

  The main effect body 38 of the movable effect body 22 is formed in a circular shape, but may have other shapes, or may have a structure that cannot be distinguished from the main effect body 38 and the support member 39. Further, during the production by the operation of the main production body 38, the front side of the main production body 38 emits light by the light emission of the light emitting element 44 on the back side, but the main production body 38 may not emit light. Only a specific part of the light may be emitted in a spot manner.

  The production position A of the main production body 38 may be a location where a part of the support member 39 is located on the front side of the image display unit 20 on the front side of the image display unit 20, and does not have to be substantially in the center of the image display unit 20. . The movable effector 22 only needs to be able to move between the effect position A and the retreat position B. The main effector 38 can be moved back and forth in a linear motion such as up and down, left and right, etc. Etc. As long as the shape of the support member 39 in front view is a shape that matches the effect image 27 displayed on the image display unit 20 such as a linear shape, a zigzag shape, an arc shape, or an L shape, any shape can be selected. The effect image such as the notice effect image 27 displayed on the image display unit 20 may be displayed around the main effect body 38 and does not have to be radial.

  In addition, in the embodiment, in synchronism with the operation of the movable effector 22 to the effect position A, the notice effect is performed by the light emission of the main effector 38 and the notice effect image 27 displayed on the image display unit 20. However, corresponding to the extension of the base side of the support member 39, the front decoration body 31 is provided with a light emitting display portion 106 having the same width as the support member 39, and this light emitting display portion 106 is synchronized with the operation of the main effect body 38. A display effect of emitting light may be performed. In this case, since the display effect is performed across the outer area of the image display unit 20, the effect can be further enhanced.

  In the image display unit 20, the same notice effect image 27 is displayed on the part corresponding to the back side of the support member 39 and the other part in synchronization with the operation of the main effect body 38, but the back side of the support member 39 The display image may be different between the part corresponding to the above and another part.

  Further, if the effect image 27 is also displayed on the portion corresponding to the back side of the main effector 38, even if the main effector 38 does not operate at the retreat position B due to a failure of the drive means 35, etc. Consistency with the image 27 can be maintained.

  When the main effector 38 is activated, the effect symbols 25a to 25c of the image display unit 20 may not be displayed for a predetermined time (for example, until the main effector 38 is retracted). The main effect body 38 and the effect image 27 may be moved to another display position so as not to be displayed. In this way, it is possible to prevent the main production body 38 and the production image 27 from disturbing the production.

  Moreover, although the jackpot notice effect is illustrated in the embodiment, other notice effects may be used as long as the effects are during the game, and effects other than the notice may be used. In short, it may be a predetermined effect performed in combination with the operation of the main effect body 38. The flexible wiring 56 does not need to be strip-shaped.

  The image display means 13 of the game board 10 is exemplified by a liquid crystal type and a plasma type, and the light emitting display means 105 is exemplified by a light emitting element type, but these include other electric display means such as organic EL and inorganic EL. Etc. may be used. Needless to say, the present invention can be similarly applied to other ball game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
