Note that a photo sensor 142 for detecting that the swinging member 108 swings is disposed at the upper left portion of the front base member 130. When the swinging member 108 swings, the shielding plate portion 143 provided on the swinging member 108 enters between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit of the photosensor 142 and blocks light from the light emitting unit.

  The first effect member device 41 and the second effect member device 105 configured as described above are assembled on the front side of the liquid crystal base 32 as shown in FIG. In the state assembled to the liquid crystal base 32, the upper part of the swing member 108 included in the second effect member device 105 is in contact with the left end 48b of the rack member 48 when the rack member 48 included in the first effect member device 41 is moved. It is arranged at the position that touches. That is, in the movable accessory device 40 according to the embodiment, when the rack member 48 moves, the engaging portion 145 in which the left end portion 48b of the rack member 48 protrudes rearward from the upper portion of the swing member 108 near the terminal position in the movement. (See FIGS. 3, 6 and 11), the swinging member 108 is pushed to the left, whereby the swinging member 108 swings.

  Next, the operation of the movable accessory device 40 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. First, operation | movement of the 1st production member apparatus 41 is demonstrated based on FIGS. 7-10. 7A and FIG. 9A → FIG. 7B and FIG. 9B → FIG. 8A and FIG. 10A → FIG. 8B and FIG. The displacement occurs in the order shown in FIG.

  First, at the initial position, the first effect member 42 is in the state shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 9 (a). When the electric motor 43 is driven, the gears 45, 46 and 47 rotate, and the rack member 48 moves to the left along the concave groove 50 of the base member 49. At this time, the upper sliding piece 56 a slides between the upper clamping plate 57 and the base member 49, and the lower sliding piece 58 a slides between the lower clamping plate 60 and the base member 49. . Further, the roller 59 of the lower sliding member 58 rolls on the upper surface of the lower clamping plate 60.

  As the rack member 48 moves to the left, the second slider member 67 moves downward along the second guide member 65 fixed to the rack member 48 and moving to the left together with the rack member 48. Go. This is because the sliding member 82 fixed to the upper end portion of the second slider member 67 is engaged with the guide groove 77 that is gradually inclined downward as it goes to the left. This is because it will be guided downward as it goes.

  Here, when the sliding member 82 moves in the horizontal groove 78 in the guide groove 77, the weights of the second slider member 67 and the first effect member 42 act so as to move the second slider member 67. However, when the sliding member 82 moves in the curved groove 79 in the guide groove 77, the weights of the second slider member 67 and the first effect member 42 act to move the second slider member 67, that is, The effect of promoting the movement of the second slider member 67 is exhibited.

  Further, as the second slider member 67 moves downward, the first gear 92 that meshes with the rack teeth 87 formed on the second guide member 65, and the two-stage gear 93 that meshes with the first gear 92. The second gear 94 meshing with the two-stage gear 93 rotates. Accordingly, the first effect member 42 fixed to the second gear 94 rotates in the clockwise direction as the second slider member 67 moves downward.

  In this way, in the first effect member device 41, when the electric motor 43 is driven, the first effect member 42 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, while the movement direction (left direction) of the rack member 48 and the second effect member 42 are rotated. The slider member 67 moves in a direction (lower left) that is a combination of the movement direction (downward) of the slider member 67. That is, the first effect member 42 is changed from the initial state shown in FIGS. 7A and 9A to the state shown in FIGS. 7B and 9B, FIG. 8A and FIG. The state shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 10B is reached through the state shown in a). The first effect member 42 is returned to the initial position by rotating the electric motor 43 in the reverse direction.

  Next, the operation of the second effect member device 105 will be described with reference to FIGS. The second effect member 106 is displaced in the order shown in FIGS.

  When the electric motor 43 is driven and the rack member 48 moves to the state shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 10B, the left end portion 48b of the rack member 48 is near the end position in this movement. As shown in FIG. 11, the rack member 48 comes into contact with the engaging portion 145 provided on the upper portion of the swinging member 108, and then the rack member 48 moves to the end position while pushing the engaging portion 145 to the left (see FIG. 12). ). As a result, the swing member 108 swings in the direction indicated by the arrow d in FIG.

  As the swing member 108 swings, the slider 117 that engages the engagement protrusion 113 with the elongated hole 114 of the swing member 108 extends along the guide protrusion 112 formed on the base plate 107. Move to the left. At this time, the engagement protrusion 113 of the slider 117 moves from the top to the bottom in the elongated hole 114 of the swing member 108.

  When the slider 117 moves to the left, the upper decorative member 118 having the engaging protrusion 118a engaged with the elongated hole 115 provided in the upper right end portion 117a of the slider 117 has the swing shaft 109 as the swing center. The lower decorative member 119 that swings in the direction of the arrow a (clockwise) in FIG. 13A and engages the engaging protrusion 119a with the elongated hole 116 provided in the lower right end 117b of the slider 117 is shown in FIG. Then, it swings in the direction of the arrow b (counterclockwise) in FIG.

  In this way, in the second effect member device 105, when the swing member 108 is swung by being pushed by the rack member 48, the upper decorative member 118 and the lower decorative member 119 are moved from the initial state shown in FIG. 13 (b) and the state shown in FIG. 14 are reached. When the electric motor 43 is reversely rotated and the rack member 48 is moved to the initial position, the swing member 108 and the upper decorative member 118 engaged with the swing member 108 via the slider 117 and the lower decoration member 118 are moved. The decorative member 119 is returned to the initial position (the position shown in FIG. 13A) by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 110.

  Further, in the second effect member device 105, as the swing member 108 swings, the contact portion 140 of the swing member 108 contacts the contacted portion 141 of the front decorative member 132, and the front decorative member. To push 132, the front decorative member 132 swings in the direction of the arrow c (clockwise) in FIG. 15A with the swing shaft 109 as the swing center.

  As described above, in the second effect member device 105, the swing member 108 is swung by the rack member 48 and the upper decorative member 118 and the lower decorative member 119 are displaced. From the initial state shown in FIG. 15A, the state shown in FIG. 15B and FIG. 16 is reached. When the electric motor 43 is reversely rotated and the rack member 48 moves to the initial position, the swinging member 108 is returned to the initial position (position shown in FIG. 13A) by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 110. Since the pressing force does not act on the front decorative member 132, the front decorative member 132 is returned to the initial position (the position shown in FIG. 15A) by the restoring force of the torsion coil spring 139.

  As described above, in the movable accessory device 40 according to the embodiment, when the electric motor 43 of the first effect member device 41 is driven, the first effect member 42 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the rack member. The movement direction (left direction) of 48 and the movement direction (down direction) of the second slider member 67 are combined to move in a direction (lower left). In the movement of the first effect member 42, not only the driving force of the electric motor 43 but also the own weight acting on the first effect member 42 and the second slider member 67 acts as a propulsive force. Then, immediately before the first effect member 42 completes the movement, the rack member 48 that has moved from right to left abuts on the swing member 108 and presses the swing member 108. Accordingly, the swing member 108 swings, and the upper decorative member 118, the lower decorative member 119, and the front decorative member 132 constituting the second effect member 106 are displaced from the state shown in FIG. 11 to the state shown in FIG. To do. In other words, the second effect member 106 is displaced from the state shown in FIG. 11 to the state shown in FIG. 12 using the kinetic energy from which the first effect member 42 has been displaced. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the kinetic energy from which the first effect member 42 is displaced in this way is absorbed by being used for the displacement of the second effect member 106. The impact that occurs when completing the movement is mitigated.

(3) Operation of Pachinko Machine Next, the operation of the main control board 20 will be described based on FIG. 18, and the operation of the effect control board 22 will be described based on FIGS. First, the operation of the main control board 20 will be described. Each counter, which will be described later, is provided in the RAM and cleared to zero when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on.

  [Main-side timer interrupt processing] The main control board 20 repeats the main-side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 18 every short time, for example, 4 msec. First, the main control board 20 determines the jackpot random number used for the jackpot lottery, the jackpot symbol random number for determining the type of jackpot, the reach random number for determining whether or not to reach the reach state in the decorative symbol variation effect, and the variation pattern A random number update process is performed to update the random number of the variation pattern, the random number per hit used for the normal symbol lottery (step S101).

  Next, the main control board 20 performs a start opening SW process (S102), a gate SW process (S103), a big winning opening SW process (S104), and a normal winning opening SW process (S105). When the first start port SW54a or the second start port SW54b is ON, the start port SW process (S102) is performed on the condition that there is less than four reserved memories corresponding to the ON start ports. This is a process of acquiring a random number (a jackpot random number, a jackpot symbol random number, a reach random number, a variation pattern random number) and adding 1 to the value of the start port counter. The gate SW process (S103) is a process of acquiring a random number on condition that the number of hit random numbers already stored is less than four if the gate SW 81 is ON. In the big winning opening SW process (S104), if the big winning opening SW 74 is ON, it is determined whether or not the big hit game or the small hit game is being played. In this process, 1 is added to the value of the number counter, and 1 is added to the value of the special prize counter. The normal winning opening SW process (S105) is a process of adding 1 to the value of the normal winning opening counter if the normal winning opening SW91 is ON.

  Next, the main control board 20 performs a special symbol process (S106), a normal symbol process (S107), a big prize opening process (S108), and an electric chew process (S109). The special symbol process (S106) is a process of determining a random number such as a jackpot random number acquired in the start port SW process and starting and stopping a special symbol variation for informing the determination result. The normal symbol process (S107) is a process for determining the winning random number acquired in the gate SW process and starting and stopping the normal symbol fluctuation for informing the determination result. The special winning opening process (S108) is performed according to a predetermined opening pattern (number of rounds, opening time per round, prescribed number of winnings per round) when the winning game is won as a result of the special symbol processing. In this process, the winning opening 71 is opened. The electric chew process (S109) is a process of opening the electric chew 52 in accordance with a predetermined opening pattern (the number of times of opening, the opening time per time) when the auxiliary game is won as a result of the normal symbol processing.

  Next, the main control board 20 has the number of prize balls according to the value of the start prize counter (in the embodiment, 3 balls per count) and the number of prize balls according to the value of the big prize counter (in the embodiment). 15 balls per count) and a command for paying out the number of prize balls (10 balls per count in the embodiment) according to the value of the normal winning opening counter, and awards for clearing those counters to zero A ball process (S110) is performed, and an output process (S111) for outputting the command set in each of the above processes to the payout control board 21 and the effect control board 22 is performed.

  In parallel with the processing in the main control board 20 described above, the effect control board 22 performs the processing shown in FIGS. Hereinafter, the operation of the effect control board 22 will be described.

  [Sub-side timer interrupt process] The effect control board 22 repeats the sub-side timer interrupt process as shown in FIG. 19 every predetermined short time. In the sub timer interruption process, a command that is set in the command reception process (S1101) and the effect button process (S1102) described later, and the command reception process and the effect button process is transmitted to the image control board 23 and the lamp control board 24. Transmission processing (S1103) is performed. When the command transmission process is executed, the image control board 23 and the lamp control board 24 that have received the various commands receive the various effect devices (image display 4, speaker 17, frame lamp 18, panel lamp 19, movable accessory device 40). ) Are used to perform various effects (such as symbol variation effects and jackpot effects).

  [Command Reception Process] As shown in FIG. 20, in the command reception process, the effect control board 22 performs an effect selection process (S1301, S1302) to be described later if a change start command is received from the main control board 20 (S1301, S1302). If the change stop command has been received, the change effect end processing described later is performed (S1303, 1304). Then, if the opening control command is received, the effect control board 22 performs a hit effect selection process (S1305, 1306) described later, and if receiving the ending command, analyzes the ending command and refers to the mode flag. Then, an ending effect pattern is selected, and an ending effect selection process for setting an ending effect start command is performed (S1307, 1308). Subsequently, the effect control board 22 performs a customer waiting command reception process (S1309), which will be described later, and ends the command reception process.

  [Production Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 21, in the production selection process, the production control board 22 analyzes the variation start command received from the main control board 20 (S1401). The variation start command includes information indicating the current gaming state, information indicating the type of the special symbol won in the jackpot lottery, and variation pattern information indicating the variation pattern of the decorative symbol variation effect. Next, the effect control board 22 refers to the mode flag indicating the effect mode (S1402). Subsequently, a variation effect pattern selection process for selecting a variation pattern of the decorative symbol variation effect based on the analyzed variation start command and the referred mode flag is performed (S1403). Then, the effect control board 22 sets a change effect start command for starting the decorative symbol change effect (S1404). Here, the effect mode is an aspect of the effect on the image display 4, and if the effect mode is different, the moving image displayed on the image display 4 is different, such as a different character or background, etc. Also, the one corresponding to the production mode is selected. When the variable effect start command set in step S1404 is transmitted to the image control board 23 by the command transmission process (see step S1103 in FIG. 19), the image control board 23 is displayed on the display unit 4a of the image display 4. Start fluctuating production.

  [Processing during Variation Effect End] As shown in FIG. 22, in the processing during variation effect end, the effect control board 22 analyzes the change stop command (S1501) and refers to the mode flag (S1502). Next, it is determined whether or not the decorative symbol variation effect that is about to end is a hit (big hit or small win) notification (S1503), and if it is a hit notification, mode flag change processing is performed ( S1508). In the mode flag change process, the mode flag is changed to indicate the effect mode corresponding to the type of the hit, and when the changed effect mode is not the normal mode, the counter value M corresponding to the effect mode is set. Set the maximum number of times.

  On the other hand, the effect control board 22 determines whether or not the mode flag is 0 (S1504) if the decorative symbol variation effect to be finished is not a notification of winning (NO in S1503). Proceed to step S1509. Note that a mode flag of 0 indicates a normal mode, and the mode flag is 0 in an initial state (that is, when power is turned on and the first game is started). On the other hand, if the mode flag is not 0, the value M of the counter for the current effect mode is decreased by 1 (S1505), and if the value M does not become 0 (NO in S1506), the process proceeds to step S1509. If it becomes 0 (YES in S1506), the mode flag is set to 0 to return to the normal mode (S1507), and the process proceeds to step S1509. In step S1509, the effect control board 22 sets a change effect end command for ending the decorative symbol change effect.

  [Winning Effect Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 23, in the winning effect selection process, the effect control board 22 analyzes the opening command (S1601), and selects the pattern of the winning effect based on the analyzed opening command. A winning effect pattern selection process is performed (S1602). Then, the effect control board 22 sets an opening effect start command for starting the hit effect (S1603). The hit effect refers to an effect executed during a small hit game or a big hit game.

  [Customer Waiting Command Receiving Process] As shown in FIG. 24, in the customer waiting command receiving process, the effect control board 22 determines whether or not a customer waiting command has been received (S1701). The measurement of the time until the waiting effect is executed is started and the measurement flag is turned on (S1702, S1703), and the process proceeds to step S1705. On the other hand, if it is not received, it is determined whether or not the measurement flag is turned on (S1704). If it is not turned on, the time until execution of the customer waiting effect is not being measured. If the time is up, that is, it is determined whether or not the currently measured time has reached a predetermined time set as the time until execution of the customer waiting effect (S1705). If the time is not up, the process ends. If the time is up, the measurement flag is turned OFF (S1706), and a customer waiting effect start command for starting the customer waiting effect is set (S1707).

  [Production Button Processing] As shown in FIG. 25, in the production button processing, the production control board 22 determines whether or not the production button 28 is pressed (turned on) based on a signal from the production button detection SW 28a ( If it is not ON, the process is terminated. If it is ON, it is determined whether or not the decorative symbol variation effect is being performed (S1802). If it is not in the decorative symbol variation effect, the process ends. If it is in the decorative symbol variation effect, it is determined whether or not an instruction is given to operate the effect button 28 in the decorative symbol variation effect (S1803). If the operation button 28 is not instructed to operate, the process is terminated. If the operation button 28 is instructed, it is determined whether or not the decorative symbol variation effect is a jackpot notification (S1804). If the jackpot is not to be notified, the process ends. If the jackpot is to be notified, a movable combination actuating command for operating the movable combination apparatus 40 is set and the process is terminated (S1805).

  When the movable accessory operation command set in step S1805 is transmitted to the lamp control board 24 by the command transmission process (see step S1103 in FIG. 19), the lamp control board 24 drives the electric motor 43 to move. The accessory device 40 is operated. That is, the lamp control board 24 moves the first effect member 42 from the initial position (the position shown in FIGS. 7A and 9A) to the effect position (the positions shown in FIGS. 8B and 10B). ). Along with this, the second effect member 106 moves from the initial position (position shown in FIG. 11) to the effect position (position shown in FIG. 12). Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the first effect member 42 is returned to the initial position, and accordingly, the second effect member 106 is also returned to the initial position.

  By operating as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, whether the money thrown by the character appearing in the motif hit the target in the image production using the character appearing in the motif of the gaming machine A production like this is executed. That is, as the decorative symbol variation effect, an effect image that causes the character of the gaming machine motif to appear is displayed on the display unit 4a, and an image that instructs the player to press the effect button 28 is displayed on the display unit 4a. When 28 is pressed, if this decorative symbol variation effect is a notification of jackpot, the movable effect device 40 is operated to displace the first effect member 42 and the second effect member 106 to the effect position. , The effect is performed as if the money hit the target.

(4) Effects of the Embodiment As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment includes the base member 49 (first guide member) in which the concave groove 50 is formed and the base in which the concave groove 50 is formed. A rack member 48 (first slider member) that moves along the member 49, an electric motor 43 (drive means) that drives the rack member 48, and moves in the moving direction of the rack member 48 as the rack member 48 moves. As described above, the second guide member 65 attached to the rack member 48 moves in the moving direction of the rack member 48 as the rack member 48 moves, and the moving direction of the rack member 48 along the second guide member 65 A second slider member 67 assembled to the second guide member 65 and a first effect member 42 attached to the second slider member 67 so as to move in a different direction. .

  Therefore, when the rack member 48 (first slider member) is driven by the electric motor 43 (driving means), the first effect member 42 attached to the second slider member 67 and the second slider member 67 has the groove 50. Is moved in a direction in which the guide direction of the base member 49 (first guide member) formed with the guide direction of the second guide member 65 is synthesized. That is, the moving direction and moving distance of the first effect member 42 are the direction and distance in which the rack member 48 has moved and the moving distance in a direction different from the moving direction of the rack member 48 in which the second slider member 67 has moved. It becomes a composition. Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the direction and distance in which the rack member 48 (first slider member) moves along the base member 49 (first guide member), and the second slider member 67 By adjusting the direction and distance of movement along the second guide member 65, the direction and distance of movement of the first effect member 42 can be freely adjusted. Therefore, as compared with the case where the effect member is moved by one slider, the effect member (the first effect member in the embodiment) even if the moving distance of each slider (the rack member 48 and the second slider member 67 in the embodiment) is shortened. 42) can be extended.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the first effect member 42 is displaced with respect to the second slider member 67 as the second slider member 67 moves along the second guide member 65. It is configured as follows. Specifically, the second guide member 65 includes rack teeth 87 (rack portions), and as the second slider member 67 moves along the second guide member 65, the first effect member 42 becomes the first effect member 42. The first effect member 42 and the rack teeth 87 of the second guide member 65 are connected via gears (first gear 92, two-stage gear 93, second gear 94) so as to rotate with respect to the two slider members 67. Has been. In other words, as the second slider member 67 moves along the second guide member 65, the first effect member 42 and the first effect member 42 are rotated such that the first effect member 42 rotates with respect to the second slider member 67. Two guide members 65 are engaged.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, the first effect member 42 includes the direction and distance in which the rack member 48 (first slider member) moves along the base member 49 (first guide member), and Since the second slider member 67 is displaced with respect to the second slider member 67 while moving in the direction and distance obtained by combining the direction and distance of the second slider member 67 moving along the second guide member 65, the first effect member 42 A change is added to the operation, and an effect that draws the player's attention becomes possible.

2. Second Embodiment In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment described above, the first effect member 42 is configured to move linearly while rotating, but in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment shown in FIG.

Along with the movement, the sliding shaft 152 moves left and right in the elongated hole 151 while being guided by the guide groove 150, so that the first effect member 42A fixed to the sliding shaft 152 is viewed from the front. Then, while swinging left and right (reciprocating), the rack member 48 moves in the direction (lower left) which is a combination of the movement direction (left direction) of the rack member 48 and the movement direction (downward direction) of the second slider member 67A. .

  The pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment described above has the same effects as the pachinko gaming machine of the first embodiment.

3. Third Embodiment In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the first effect member 42B is configured to move from the upper right to the lower left of the display unit 4a. However, the third embodiment shown in FIGS. In this pachinko gaming machine, the first effect member 42B is configured to move from the lower left to the upper right of the display unit 4a. In the description of the third embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 27, in the pachinko gaming machine of the third embodiment, the first effect member device 41B includes a first guide member 49B extending in the vertical direction. The first guide member 49B is disposed on the left part of a liquid crystal base (not shown). A first slider member 48B is engaged with the first guide member 49B. Rack teeth 48Ba are formed at the left end of the first slider member 48B. A pinion gear 45B fixed to the output shaft 43Ba of the electric motor 43B is engaged with the rack teeth 48Ba. A second guide member 65B extending in the right direction is extended from the upper right end of the first slider member 48B. The first slider member 48B and the second guide member 65B are both made of synthetic resin and integrally formed. A second slider member 67B is assembled to the second guide member 65B. The second slider member 67B includes a front wall portion 67Ba having a substantially rectangular shape in front view with the left-right direction as the longitudinal direction. As shown in the AA sectional view of FIG. 27, the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the front wall portion 67Ba are provided. The second guide member 65B is assembled to the second guide member 65B by an engaging wall portion 67Bb extending rearward so as to grip the second guide member 65B. At the right end of the second slider member 67B, a first effect member 42B that imitates “sen” is attached by screws 154. A sliding member 82B is fixed to the left end of the second slider member 67B. The sliding member 82B is slidably engaged with a guide groove 77B provided in the guide plate 76B, as shown in the BB cross-sectional view of FIG. The guide plate 76B is fixed to a fixing member (not shown) (for example, a liquid crystal base). The guide groove 77B is an inclined groove 79B that is gradually inclined rightward from the lower side toward the upper side.

  In the first effect member device 41B configured as described above, when the electric motor 43B is driven, the first slider member 48B meshed with the pinion gear 45B by the rack teeth 48Ba is moved upward along the first guide member 49B. Move to. As the first slider member 48B moves upward, the second slider member 67B moves to the right along the second guide member 65B. This is because as the first slider member 48B moves upward, the sliding member 82B fixed to the left end portion of the second slider member 67B moves to the right along the guide groove 77B. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 28, when the electric motor 43B is driven, the first effect member moves the first slider member 48B in the moving direction (upward) and the second slider member 67B in the moving direction (rightward). Will be translated in the direction (upper right). In a state where the first effect member that has moved in translation has reached the end position, the front wall portion 67Ba of the second slider member 67B is exposed to the upper front of the display portion 4a. The front surface of the front wall portion 67Ba is a decorative surface 155 that imitates characters, and enhances the decorative effect during production.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the third embodiment, the first effect member 42B does not act on the movement of the first effect member 42B, but the first effect member 42B is located at the lower left of the display unit 4a. It can move greatly from the end to the upper right end. That is, the first effect member 42B moves in the direction and distance obtained by combining the moving direction and distance of the first slider member 48B and the moving direction and distance of the second slider member 67B, and therefore moves the first effect member 42B. Even if there is no installation space corresponding to the distance to be moved with respect to the desired direction, the moving direction and distance of the first slider member 48B and the moving direction and distance of the second slider member 67B are adjusted. Accordingly, it is possible to move the first effect member 42B by a distance that is desired to be moved with respect to a direction in which the first effect member 42B is desired to be moved.

4). Modification Example A modification example will be described below. In the description of the modified example, the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the movable accessory device 40 in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the first effect member 42 determines the movement direction (left direction) of the rack member 48 and the movement direction (downward direction) of the second slider member 67. Although it is configured to be orthogonal to move from the initial position to the lower left, the moving direction of the first effect member 42 can be arbitrarily changed. Specifically, the crossing angle between the moving direction (left direction) of the rack member 48 and the moving direction (downward direction) of the second slider member 67 is changed, the moving distance of the rack member 48 or the second slider member 67 is changed. By changing the moving distance, the moving direction and distance of the first effect member 42 can be freely set.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the third embodiment, the second slider member 67B is configured such that the length dimension in the left-right direction does not change with movement. However, if the second slider member is configured to be extendable in the longitudinal direction. (For example, if the second slider member is configured as a telescopic structure so that the length in the left-right direction increases as it moves upward), the width dimension in the left-right direction of the entire first effect member device is reduced. Can do.
