When the special figure 2 variable game is started, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs “variable display of special figure 2” by repeating all lighting of the seven segments and lighting of the central one segment. . These “variation display of special figure 1” and “variation display of special figure 2” correspond to an example of the symbol fluctuation display in the present embodiment. When the fluctuation time determined before the start of the fluctuation in FIG. 1 elapses, the special figure 1 display device 212 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 1 and the fluctuation time determined before the fluctuation starts in the special figure 2. After the elapse, the special figure 2 display device 214 stops and displays the stop symbol form of the special figure 2. Therefore, from the start of “figure display of special figure 1” until the stop symbol form of special figure 1 is stopped, or after the start of “fluctuation display of special figure 2”, the stop symbol form of special figure 2 is displayed. Until stop display corresponds to an example of the symbol fluctuation stop display referred to in the present embodiment, the stop symbol mode of special figure 1 or 2 is stopped and displayed after the "fluctuation display of special figure 1 or 2" is started. A series of displays until this is done is referred to as symbol variation stop display. The symbol variation stop display may be continuously performed a plurality of times.

  FIG. 5 (a) shows 10 types of special figures “Special Figure A” to “Special Figure J” as stop symbol forms in the symbol fluctuation stop display of Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2.

In the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, determination of whether or not a big hit in the special figure variable game is made by lottery of hardware random numbers, and determination of whether or not a special big hit is made by lottery of software random numbers. The difference between the jackpot and the special jackpot is a special figure variation game after the jackpot game ends, and the difference in probability of winning the jackpot is high (special jackpot) or low (jackpot). Hereinafter, a state with a high probability of winning the jackpot is referred to as a special figure high probability state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “special figure certain change” or simply “probable change”), and a state with a low probability is specially designated. This is called a low probability state. In addition, after the 15R special jackpot game ends and after the 15R jackpot game ends, both shift to the time-saving state (electric support state). Although the short time will be described in detail later, the short time state is referred to as a normal high probability state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “general probability change”), and the non-short time state is referred to as a general low probability state. “Special Figure A”, which is a 15R special jackpot symbol, is a symbol that becomes a special figure high probability normal figure high probability state after the jackpot game ends, and “Special Figure B”, which is a 15R jackpot symbol, is a special chart after the jackpot game ends. It is a symbol that becomes a low probability normal state high probability state. These “special chart A” and “special chart B” are symbols that have a relatively high degree of advantage over the player.

  "Special figure C" is a 2R jackpot symbol called sudden probability change, and is a symbol that becomes a special figure high probability ordinary figure high probability state after the jackpot game ends. That is, “Special Figure C” is 2R compared to “Special Figure A” which is 15R. “Special figure D” is a 2R jackpot symbol called sudden time reduction, and is a symbol that becomes a special figure low probability normal figure high probability state after the jackpot game ends. "Special figure E" is a 2R jackpot symbol called latent probability variation or hidden probability variation, and is a symbol that becomes a special figure high probability normal figure low probability state after the jackpot game ends. “Special figure F” is a 2R jackpot symbol that is suddenly called “normal”, and is a symbol that becomes a special figure low probability ordinary figure low probability state after the big hit game is over.

  “Special figure G” is a first small hit symbol, and after the small hit game is completed, the game state before the small hit game is executed is maintained. “Special figure H” is a second small hit symbol, and after the small hit game is completed, the game state before the small hit game is executed is maintained. Further, the “special chart I” is a first off-line symbol, which is a symbol that is relatively less advantageous to the player. The “special drawing J” is a second off-set symbol, which is a symbol having a relatively small advantage for the player.

  FIG. 5B shows an example of a decorative design. There are 10 types of decoration patterns of the present embodiment: “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 10”. “Decoration 1” to “Decoration 9” and “Decoration 10” represent the numbers “1” to “9” and “0”, respectively. The first start port sensor detects that a ball has won the special figure 1 starting port 230 or the special figure 2 starting port 232, that is, the ball has entered the special figure 1 starting port 230, or the special figure 2 Each of the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display area 208c of the decorative symbol display device 208 is provided on the condition that the second start port sensor detects that a ball has entered the start port 232. In the symbol display area, “decoration 1” → “decoration 2” → “decoration 3” →... → “decoration 9” → “decoration 10” → “decoration 1” →. “Change design of symbols”.

  When notifying 15R special jackpot of “Special Figure A” and 15R big jackpot of “Special Figure B”, a combination of symbols in which the same three decorative symbols are arranged in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c (for example, “Decoration 1− (Decoration 1 -decoration 1 "," decoration 2 -decoration 2 -decoration 2 ", etc.) are stopped and displayed. When the 15R special jackpot of “special drawing A” is explicitly notified, a combination of three symbols of the same odd number of decorative symbols (for example, “decoration 3—decoration 3—decoration 3” or “decoration 7—decoration 7”). -Decoration 7 "etc.) is stopped and displayed.

  Also, 2R big hit called “special drawing E” latent probability variation (hidden probability variation), “special drawing F” suddenly called 2R big hit, or “special drawing G” or “special drawing H” small When notifying the winning, “decoration 1—decoration 2—decoration 3” is stopped and displayed. When notifying 2R jackpot called “sudden change” of “special drawing C” and 2R jackpot called “sudden time reduction of“ special drawing D ”,“ decoration 1-decoration 3—decoration 5 ”is stopped and displayed. . On the other hand, in the case of notifying the special symbol I and the special symbol J, the symbol combinations other than the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 5B are stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c.

  FIG.5 (c) shows an example of the usual stop display symbol. In the present embodiment, there are two types of stoppage display modes of “normal map A”, which is a winning symbol, and “general symbol B”, which is a missed symbol. Based on the fact that the above-mentioned gate sensor has detected that the sphere has passed through the general start port 228, the general map display device 210 repeats the lighting of all seven segments and the lighting of one central segment. Perform a “normal change display”. Then, when notifying the winning of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure A” is stopped and displayed, and when notifying the deviation of the common figure variable game, the “normal figure B” is stopped and displayed. Also in FIG.5 (c), the white part in a figure shows the location of the segment which light-extinguishes, and the black-colored part has shown the location of the segment which lights up.

  Next, main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit. As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal is input executes a main control unit main process according to a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306 after resetting by a reset interrupt.

  First, in step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In the initial setting 1, the stack initial value is set in the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304 (temporary setting), the interrupt mask is set, the I / O 310 is initialized, the various variables stored in the RAM 308 are initialized, and the WDT 314 is set. Enable operation, set initial values, etc. In this embodiment, a numerical value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in WDT 314 as an initial value.

  In step S103 following step S101, the value of the counter of WDT 314 is cleared, and the time measurement by WDT 314 is restarted. In step S105 subsequent to step S103, whether or not the low voltage signal is ON, that is, the voltage value of the power supply that the voltage monitoring circuit 338 supplies from the power supply control unit 660 to the main control unit 300 is a predetermined value. When it is less than (9 V in this example), it is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power supply is cut off), the process returns to step S103, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the CPU 304 does not detect that the power supply is cut off), the step is performed. The process proceeds to S107. Even when the predetermined value (9 V) is not yet reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S103, and step S105 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S107, initial setting 2 is performed. In the initial setting 2, a process for setting a numerical value for determining a cycle for executing a main control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, in the counter timer 312, a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, a 1) a process of outputting a clear signal from the output port 1), a setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like.

  In step S109 following step S107, it is determined whether or not to return to the state before the power interruption (before power interruption). In the case of initializing), the process proceeds to initialization processing (step S113). Specifically, first, a RAM clear signal transmitted when an RWM clear switch 180 provided on the power supply board 182 is operated by a store clerk or the like is on (indicating that there has been an operation). That is, it is determined whether or not RAM clear is necessary. If the RAM clear signal is on (RAM clear is necessary), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is OFF (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the power status information stored in the power status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the power status information is information indicating suspend. It is determined whether or not. If the power status information is not information indicating suspend, the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 to the initial state. If the power status information is information indicating suspend, all 1-byte data stored in a predetermined area (for example, all areas) of the RAM 308 is added to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0. Thus, the checksum is calculated, and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum result is a specific value (for example, 0) (whether or not the checksum result is normal). When the checksum result is a specific value (eg, 0) (when the checksum result is normal), the process proceeds to step S111 to return to the state before the power interruption, and the checksum result is a specific value. If the value is other than 0 (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S113 to set the pachinko machine 100 to the initial state.

  In step S111, power recovery processing is performed. In this power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read out and reset to the stack pointer (this setting). In addition, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out and reset in each register, and then the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and registers, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state when the power is turned off. That is, the processing is resumed from the instruction next to the instruction (predetermined in step S115) performed immediately before branching to the timer interrupt process (described later) immediately before the power interruption. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a transmission information storage area. In step S111, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. This power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been restored to the state at the time of power-off. In the command setting transmission process (step S233) in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, which will be described later, the first sub control unit 400. Sent to.

  In step S113, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, interrupt prohibition setting, stack initial value setting to the stack pointer (this setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, here, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal return command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step S113) of the main control unit 300 has been performed, and, like the power recovery command, the command setting transmission process (in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300) ( In step S233), the data is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S115 subsequent to step S113, the basic random number initial value updating process is performed after setting the interrupt prohibition. In this basic random number initial value update process, three initial values for generating initial values of three random number counters for generating the normal winning random value, the special figure 1 random value, and the special figure 2 random value, respectively. Update the generation random number counter. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 includes a special figure 1 random value counter and its initial value generation random number counter, a special figure 2 random value counter and its initial value generation random number counter, and a normal winning random number counter and its initial value. A generation random number counter is provided. In step S115, the initial values of three initial value generating random number counters are updated. For example, if the initial value generation random number counter can take a numerical value range of 0 to 100, a value is acquired from the initial value generation random number counter, 1 is added to the acquired value, and then the original initial value generation random number counter is obtained. To remember. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original initial value generation random number counter. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. In addition, interrupt permission is set after the basic random number initial value updating process is completed. The initial value generation random number counter is also updated in a basic random number initial value update process (step S207) described later. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S115 except during a timer interrupt process that starts every predetermined period.

  Next, a main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process. The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this example, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt processing is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. At a predetermined cycle.

  First, in step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed. In step S203 following step S201, the WDT 314 is periodically updated so that the WDT 314 count value exceeds the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this example) and no WDT interruption occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). Therefore (in this example, the restart is performed once in about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt).

  In step S205 subsequent to step S203, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of various sensors 320 including the above-mentioned front frame door open sensor, inner frame open sensor, lower pan full sensor, and various ball detection sensors are input via the input port of the I / O 310. The input is monitored for the presence or absence of a detection signal, and stored in a signal state storage area provided for each of the various sensors 320 in the RAM 308. If the detection signal of the sphere detection sensor is described as an example, information on the presence / absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected in the timer interruption process (about 4 ms before) is stored in the RAM 308 for each sphere detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area partitioned and stored in the RAM 308 in the previous detection signal storage area partitioned for each sphere detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt processing (about 2 ms before) ) Is read from the current detection signal storage area provided for each sphere detection sensor in the RAM 308, and this information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area described above. To remember. Further, the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-described current detection signal storage area.

  Further, in step S205, the information on the presence or absence of the detection signal of each sphere detection sensor stored in each storage area of the above-mentioned detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether or not the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor matches the winning determination pattern information. This main control unit timer interrupt process that is repeatedly started at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes one ball detection sensor is started several times. For this reason, every time the main control unit timer interrupt process is activated, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is confirmed in step S205. As a result, a detection signal indicating that the same game ball has passed the same ball detection sensor is stored in each of the detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area. That is, when the game ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal before, a previous detection signal, and a current detection signal. In the present embodiment, in consideration of erroneous detection and noise of the sphere detection sensor, it is determined that there is a prize when the detection signal is stored twice continuously after no detection signal.

  In the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300, winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is no previous detection signal, that there is a previous detection signal, and that there is a current detection signal) is stored. In step S205, information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in each sphere detection sensor is pre-determined winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, no previous detection signal, previous detection signal present, current detection signal present). In the case of the general winning port 226, the variable winning port 234, the special figure 1 starting port 230, and the special figure 2 starting port 232, or the ordinary drawing starting port 228. It is determined that there was. In other words, it is determined that a prize has been awarded to the winning ports 226 and 234 and the starting ports 230, 232, and 228. For example, when the information on the presence / absence of the detection signals for the past three matches with the above-described winning determination pattern information in the general winning opening sensor for detecting the winning at the general winning opening 226, there is a winning at the general winning opening 226. If the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the subsequent general winnings are performed. The process branches to the subsequent process without performing the process associated with winning the prize to the mouth 226.

  The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (in this embodiment, information indicating that there is a detection signal before, no previous detection signal, no current detection signal). After it is determined that there has been a single win, it is not determined that there has been a win until the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times matches the winning determination clear pattern information in each ball detection sensor, and the winning determination is cleared. If it matches the pattern information, it is next determined whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information.

  In step S205, if the information communication between the main control unit 300 and the payout control unit 600 is configured to be performed by bidirectional communication, the front frame door opening sensor 107 that detects the opening of the front frame door 106. The presence / absence of a door opening detection signal output from the payout control unit 600 that has received the detection result from is monitored and stored in a door detection signal state storage area provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S207 subsequent to step S205, a basic random number initial value update process is performed, and in the next step S209, a basic random number update process is performed. In these basic random number initial value update processing and basic random number update processing, the initial value generation random number counter performed in step S115 is updated, and then used in the main control unit 300. Three random number counters for generating 1 random number value and special figure 2 random value respectively are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as the normal winning random number is 0 to 100, a value is acquired from the normal winning random number counter for generating the normal winning random value provided in the RAM 308, and the acquired value is set to 1. Is stored in the original normal winning random number counter. At this time, if the result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is 101, 0 is stored in the original winning random number counter. In addition, when it is determined that the common winning random number counter has made one round as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, the value of the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the general winning random number counter is acquired. And set it in the regular winning random number counter.

  For example, the previous value stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in the RAM 308 is obtained from a value obtained from a common winning random number counter that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 100, and 1 is added to the acquired value. When the value is equal to the set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as an initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the ordinary winning random number counter, and is set in the ordinary winning random value counter. The initial value set this time is stored in the above-described initial value storage area in order to determine that the normal winning random number counter has made one round next. In addition to the initial value storage area described above, an initial value storage area for determining that the special figure 1 random value counter and the special figure 2 random value counter have made one round each is provided in the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, the counter for acquiring the special figure 1 random value and the counter for acquiring the special figure 2 random value are provided separately, but the same counter may be used. The same initial value generation random number counter and initial value storage area may be used.

  In step S211 following step S209, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number update process, a random number counter for generating an effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated. Specifically, the value of the random number counter for determining the special figure 1 variable time for determining the graphic fluctuation time in the special figure 1 variable game or its initial value is updated, and the symbol fluctuation in the special figure 2 variable game is updated. The value of the random number counter for determining special time 2 for determining the time or the initial value thereof is updated. Further, the value of the random number counter for determining the normal figure change time for determining the symbol change time in the normal figure change game or its initial value is updated.

  In step S213 following step S211, timer update processing is performed. In this timer update process, the time for displaying and changing the symbol on the special symbol display device 212 and the time for displaying and changing the symbol on the special symbol display device 212 are counted. Special figure 1 display symbol update timer, Special figure 2 display symbol update timer for measuring the time for the symbol to be changed / stopped on the special figure 2 display device 214, a predetermined winning effect time, a predetermined opening time, a predetermined time Various timers including a timer for counting the closing time, a predetermined end effect period, and the like are updated.

  In step S215 subsequent to step S213, a winning opening counter updating process is performed. In this winning opening counter updating process, when winning holes 226 and 234 and starting holes 230, 232 and 228 have been won, the RAM 308 stores the winning ball number storage area provided for each winning hole or for each starting hole. The value is read and 1 is added to set in the original prize ball number storage area.

  In step S217 following step S215, a winning acceptance process is performed. In this winning acceptance process, it is determined whether or not there has been a winning at the special figure 1 starting port 230, the special figure 2 starting port 232, the ordinary drawing starting port 228 and the variable winning port 234. Here, the determination is made using the determination result of whether or not it matches the winning determination pattern information in step S205.

  When the special figure 1 starting port 230 is won and the corresponding special figure 1 holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, the special figure 1 starting port 230 of the random number generation circuit (hard random number circuit) 318 A special figure 1 winning random number value generated by performing predetermined processing on a value stored in a corresponding built-in counter value storage register is acquired, and a special figure is generated from a special figure 1 random number generation random number counter provided in the RAM 308. 1 random number value is acquired, and the special figure 1 variation time determination random value value is acquired from the special figure 1 variation time determination random value counter provided in the RAM 308 and stored in the special figure 1 random value storage area in the order of acquisition. The special figure 1 winning random number value, special figure 1 random value, and special figure 1 variable time random number value set in the special figure 1 random value storage area (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1 start information") The same number as the number of the special figure 1 hold stored in the one hold number storage area is stored. In the special figure 1 random value storage area, every time the number of special figure 1 holds decreases, the special figure 1 starting information data with the highest holding order (first) is erased, and the remaining special figure 1 start is started. Processing is performed so that the hold order of information data is incremented by one. Each time the special figure 1 holding number increases by one, new special figure 1 starting information data is written in the holding order next to the special figure 1 starting information data having the lowest holding order (last).

  When the special figure 2 starting port 232 is won and the corresponding special figure 2 reserved number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, a built-in counter corresponding to the special figure 2 starting port 232 of the random number generation circuit 318 The special figure 2 winning random number value generated by performing predetermined processing on the value stored in the value storage register is acquired, and the special figure 2 random number value is acquired from the special figure 2 random value generation random number counter provided in the RAM 308. Then, the special figure 2 variation time determination random number value provided in the RAM 308 is acquired and stored in the special figure 2 random value storage area in the order of acquisition. A set of special figure 2 winning random value, special figure 2 random value and special figure 2 variation time determining random value in the special figure 2 random value storage area (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2 start information") is a special figure. 2 The same number as the number of special figure 2 reservations stored in the storage number storage area is stored. In the special figure 2 random value storage area, every time the special figure 2 holding number decreases, the special figure 2 starting information data with the highest holding order is deleted, and the remaining special figure 2 starting information data is deleted. Processing is performed so that the holding order is incremented by one. Also, each time the special figure 2 holding number increases by one, new special figure 2 starting information data is written in the holding order next to the special figure 2 starting information data having the lowest holding order.

  When a winning is made at the general figure start opening 228 and the corresponding general figure holding number storage area provided in the RAM 308 is not full, a value is obtained from the random number counter for generating the normal figure winning random number value as a normal figure winning random number value. Are stored in the corresponding ordinary random number storage area. When there is a winning at the variable winning opening 234, information indicating that a ball has entered the variable winning opening 234 is stored in the winning storage area for the variable winning opening 234.

  In step S219 following step S217, a payout request number transmission process is performed. Note that the output schedule information and the payout request information output to the payout control unit 600 are composed of, for example, 1 byte, strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 6 Power-on information (if turned on, indicates that this is the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4-5 indicate the current processing type for encryption (0-3), and bits 0-3 indicate encryption The number of payout requests after processing is shown.

  In step S221 following step S219, a normal state update process is performed. This normal state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the normal state. For example, in the general diagram state update process in the middle of the normal map change display (the value of the above-mentioned general map display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7 segment LED constituting the general map display device 210 is repeatedly turned on and off. Turns off drive control. By performing this control, the general map display device 210 performs normal variable display (normal map variable game).

  Also, in the general state update process at the timing when the normal map change display time has elapsed (the timing at which the value of the general map display symbol update timer has changed from 1 to 0), When the 7-segment LED constituting the general-purpose display device 210 is turned on / off to control the display mode, and the normal-map hit flag is off, the general-purpose display is displayed so that the display mode of the off symbol is displayed. The 7 segment LED constituting the device 210 is controlled to be turned on / off. Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a setting area for performing various settings in various processes, not limited to the normal state update process. Here, the above-described lighting / extinguishing drive control is performed, and the setting area is set to indicate that the normal stop display is being performed. By performing this control, the universal symbol display device 210 determines one of the winning symbols (common symbol A shown in FIG. 5 (c)) and the off symbol (general symbol B shown in FIG. 5 (c)). Display. Thereafter, information indicating the stop period is set in a storage area of a normal stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms). With this setting, the symbol that has been confirmed and displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the player is notified of the result of the normal game.

  Further, if the result of the usual figure variable game is a hit, the usual figure hit flag is turned on. When the usual figure hit flag is on, in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (when the usual figure stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), A normal operation is set in the setting area, and a predetermined open period (for example, 2 seconds), a solenoid for driving to open / close the blade member 232a of the special opening 2 232 (a part of various solenoids 332), A signal for holding 232a in the open state is output, and information indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the blade open time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the usual state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the value of the blade opening time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 500 ms), A signal for holding the blade member in the closed state is output to the solenoid 332 for opening and closing driving, and information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the blade closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the normal state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period ends (when the value of the blade closing time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), the non-operating state is set in the setting area of the RAM 308. To do. Furthermore, if the result of the usual figure fluctuation game is out of place, the usual figure flag is turned off. In the case where the usual figure hit flag is off, even in the usual figure state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (when the value of the usual figure stop time management timer is changed from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, normal operation inactive is set. In the general state update process in the case where the general map is not operating, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S223.

  In step S223, a general drawing related lottery process is performed. In this general map-related lottery process, the open / close control of the general map variable game and the special map 2 start port 232 is not performed (the state of the normal map is not in operation), and the number of the general map variable games that are on hold If the number is 1 or more, whether or not to win the result of the floating figure game based on the random number lottery based on the random number value stored in the above-mentioned common random number value storage area Make a hit judgment to determine. In the case of winning, the flag for a normal figure provided in the RAM 308 is set to ON, and in the case of an incorrect selection, the flag for a normal figure is set to OFF. In addition, regardless of the result of the hit determination, the value of the above-mentioned random number value counter for determining the normal variation time is acquired as a random value for determining the normal variation time, and based on the acquired random number value for determining the normal variation time. One of the plurality of variable times is selected as a time for displaying the general map on the general map display device 210, and this variable display time is set as a general map variable display time in the RAM 308. To remember. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the usual figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending custom figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure number-of-holds storage area. Also, the random number value used for the hit determination is deleted.

  In step S224 following step S223, special figure prefetching processing is performed. In the special figure prefetching process, when the number of special figure reservations stored in the special figure holding number storage area increases, the start information related to the increased holding is prefetched, and the special symbols related lottery symbols for special figure variable games are drawn. Pre-determination is performed before the success / failure determination in the process.

  For example, in the special figure prefetching process, first, it is determined whether or not the current control state is in the electric support (a state in which any one of the ordinary figure change, the ordinary figure change, or the electric chew extension is set, details will be described later). If it is determined that the power support is in progress, it is determined whether or not there is a winning at the special figure 2 starting port 232, and if it is determined that there is a winning at the special figure 2 starting port 232, the special figure 2 starting information is displayed. The special figure 2 winning random value, the special figure 2 random value, and the special figure 2 variation time determining random value are prefetched. Next, prior to the success / failure determination in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229), using the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the pre-read special figure 2 winning random number value and the success / failure determination table (not shown), Pre-determination is made as to whether or not this hit / fail judgment is a big hit. Next, using the pre-read special figure 2 random value and the special figure 2 symbol determination table (not shown), a symbol to be stopped and displayed after the special figure 2 variable game (stop symbol) is determined in advance. Next, the variation time of the special figure 2 variable game is preliminarily determined using the pre-determined stop symbol, the special figure 2 variable time determination random value, and the special figure 2 variable display time determination table (not shown). Next, a pre-determination result (presence / absence determination result, stop symbol, variation time) obtained by the pre-determination is stored in a special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit (not shown) provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. The main control unit 300 stores the pre-determined special figure 2 variable game success / failure determination result, stop symbol, and variation time as the special figure 2 prefetch result in the earliest free area of the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit. It has become. In the present embodiment, the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit can store, for example, up to four special figure 2 prefetch results.

  The RAM 308 also has a special figure 2 prefetch number storage area for storing the number of special figure 2 prefetch results stored in the special figure 2 prefetch result storage unit as the special figure 2 prefetch number. Each time the special figure 2 prefetch number increases by one, the main control unit 300 writes new special figure 2 prefetch result information in the next rank after the special figure 2 prefetch result information of the lowest rank (last). In the present embodiment, the prefetch process is performed for the increment of the hold, but the special figure prefetch process may be performed for all the hold each time.

  In the special figure prefetching process, for example, if the main control unit 300 determines that it is not in the electric support state, the special figure prefetching process is executed for the special figure 1 start information similar to the special figure 2 start information. The special figure prefetching process is executed by referring to the success / failure determination table and the special figure determination table used at the time of the validity determination, but a special determination table may be used for the prefetching process. It should be noted that the special figure prefetching process may be executed in the winning acceptance process (step S217).

  Next, the special figure state update process for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is performed. First, the special figure state update process (the special figure 2 state update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S225). In the special figure 2 state update process, one of the following processes is performed according to the state of the special figure 2.

  For example, in the special figure 2 state update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the special figure 2 display symbol update timer described above is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the special figure 2 display device 214 is turned on and off. Repeatedly turn on / off drive control. By performing this control, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs the special figure 2 variable display (special figure 2 variable game). In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the process ends.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 includes a 15R big hit flag, a 2R big hit flag, a first small hit flag, a second small hit flag, a first off flag, a second off flag, a special figure probability variation flag, and a normal figure. Flags such as a probability variation flag are prepared. These flags are set to ON or OFF based on the stop symbol determined in the special figure 2 related lottery process described later. In the special figure 2 state update process which starts at the timing when the special figure 2 variable display time has elapsed (the timing when the special figure 2 display symbol update timer value has changed from 1 to 0), for example, the 15R jackpot flag is turned on. When the probability fluctuation flag is on and the normal figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure A, 15R jackpot flag shown in FIG. 5A is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, and the common figure probability fluctuation flag is on. If the special figure B, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the ordinary figure probability fluctuation flag is on, the special figure C, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is off, The special figure D, 2R big hit flag is on, the special figure probability fluctuation flag is on, and the special figure E, 2R large flag is on when the general figure probability fluctuation flag is on. , Special figure probability fluctuation flag is off Special figure F when the normal probability fluctuation flag is off, special figure G when the first small hit flag is on, special figure H when the first small hit flag is on, special figure H, the first off flag The 7-segment LED constituting the special figure 2 display device 214 is controlled to be turned on / off so that the special figure I is turned on when it is on, and the special figure J is turned on when the second off flag is on. In the setting area of the RAM 308, a setting indicating that the special figure 2 stop display is in progress is made. By performing this control, the special figure 2 display device 214 performs fixed display of any one of the special figures A to J.

  Thereafter, in order to maintain the display for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms), information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308. With this setting, the specially displayed special figure 2 is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special figure 2 variable game is notified to the player. In addition, if the time reduction number stored in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time reduction number, and if the subtraction result becomes 1 to 0, the special figure probability is changing. If not, turn off the time flag. Further, the hourly flag is also turned off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Also, if the probability variation number stored in the probability variation number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the probability variation number, and if the subtraction result is 1 to 0, the special figure probability variation flag. Turn off.

  Further, the special transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and the design for stopping the variable display is shown in FIG. The special figure 2 identification information indicating the presence is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data, which will be described later, and the processing is terminated.

  Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is a big hit, the big hit flag is turned on. When the big hit flag is on, in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends (the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the setting of the RAM 308 is set. In order to set a special figure 2 in operation in the area and wait for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for notifying the player that a big hit by the decorative symbol display device 208 is started is displayed. In addition, information indicating the winning effect period is set in the storage area of the special figure 2 standby time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Further, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the special figure 2 standby time management timer changes from 1 to 0), a predetermined release period (for example, 29 seconds) Or, until a winning of a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) is detected at the variable winning opening 234, the door is connected to a solenoid for opening / closing the door member 234a of the variable winning opening 234 (a part of various solenoids 332). A signal for holding the member 234a in the opened state is output, and information indicating the opening period is set in the storage area of the door opening time management timer provided in the RAM 308. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening release setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the door opening time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds) A signal for holding the door member 234a in a closed state is output to a solenoid for opening / closing the door member 234a of the variable prize opening 234 (a part of various solenoids 332), and a door closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308 is provided. Information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area. In addition, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  In addition, the opening / closing control of the door member 234a is repeated a predetermined number of times (in the present embodiment, both in the case of Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2 are 15 rounds or 2 rounds), and the special figure 2 state update that starts at the end timing is repeated. The processing is provided in the RAM 308 in order to set to wait for a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period during which an image for informing the player that the jackpot by the decorative symbol display device 208 is to be ended is displayed. The information indicating the production standby period is set in the storage area of the production standby time management timer. Also, if the normal probability fluctuation flag is set to ON, at the same time as the end of the big hit game, the hour / hour number (for example, 100 times) is set in the hour / hour number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 and provided in the RAM 308. Turn on the short time flag. If the ordinary probability fluctuation flag is set to OFF, the number of time reductions is not set in the time reduction number storage unit, and the time reduction flag is not turned on.

  The short time here means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit game to the start of the next big hit game. When the time reduction flag is set to ON, the normal figure high probability state (normal figure certain change) is established. There is a higher probability of hitting in the general-game variable game in the high-probability state than in the normal-game low-probability state. In addition, in the normal figure high probability state, the fluctuation time of the general figure variable game is shorter than in the normal figure low probability state (normal figure variable short). Furthermore, in the normal high probability state, compared to the normal low probability state, the opening time in one opening of the pair of blade members 232a of the special drawing 2 starting port 232 is likely to be longer (electrical chew extension). In addition, the pair of blade members 232a are more likely to open in the normal high probability state than in the normal low probability state. The state in which any one of these ordinary figure change, universal figure change, and electric Chu extension is set is referred to as an electric support (starting prize winning support by electric tulip) state.

  In addition, as described above, the hourly flag is set to off during the big hit game (in the special game state). Therefore, the normal low probability state is maintained during the big hit game. This is because, if the game is in a high probability state during a big hit game, a predetermined number of game balls will be placed in the special figure 2 starting port 232 until a predetermined number of game balls are entered during the big hit game. In order to solve this, there is a problem that the number of game balls that can be acquired during the big hit increases and the number of game balls that can be acquired during a big hit increases, resulting in an increase in gambling.

  If the special figure probability variation flag is set to ON, the probability variation number (for example, 10,000 times) is set in the probability variation number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 simultaneously with the end of the big hit game.

  Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 state update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined end production period ends (when the production standby time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 is not activated in the setting area of the RAM 308. Set medium.

  Further, if the result of the special figure 2 variable game is out of order, the out-of-game flag is turned on. In the case where the miss flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (the timing when the special figure 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, special figure 2 inactive is set. In the special figure 2 state update process when the special figure 2 is not in operation, nothing is done and the process proceeds to the next step S227.

  Subsequently, special figure state update processing (special figure 1 state update process) for special figure 1 is performed (step S227). In the special figure 1 state update process, each process described in the special figure 2 state update process is performed according to the state of the special figure 1. Each process performed in the special figure 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” in the contents described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”. Omitted. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update process in step S225 and step S227 is completed, a special figure related lottery process for each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed. Also here, first, a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 2 (a special drawing 2 related lottery process) is performed (step S229), and then a special drawing related lottery process for special figure 1 (a special drawing 1 related lottery process). ) Is performed (step S231). In the special drawing 2 related lottery process, the floating game of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 is not performed, and the state of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2 are both inactive and is held. It is executed by using the first special figure 2 start information in the special figure 2 random value storage area on the condition that the number of variable games is 1 or more. The special figure 1 related lottery process does not perform the floating game of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the state of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are both inactive, and is suspended. It is executed by using the first special figure 1 start information in the special figure 1 random value storage area on the condition that the number of variable games is one or more.

  Also for these special drawing related lottery processes, the main control unit 300 performs the special figure 2 related lottery processing before the special figure 1 related lottery processing, so that the special figure 2 variable game start condition and the special figure 1 fluctuation Even if the game start conditions are satisfied at the same time, since the special figure 2 variable game is changing first, the special figure 1 variable game does not start changing. In addition, when the number of reserved special figure 2 variable games is 1 or more, the lottery process and the variable game related to the special figure 1 variable game hold are not performed. In addition, the notification of the result of the special symbol variable game success / failure determination by the decorative symbol display device 208 is performed by the first sub-control unit 400, and the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning at the special symbol 2 starting port 232 is notified. Priority is given to the notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning in the special figure 1 starting port 230. In the present embodiment, a special figure variable game (for example, special figure 2 variable game) with a high advantage is played with priority over a special figure variable game (for example, special figure 1 variable game) with a low advantage. For this reason, it may be easy to give a difference in the advantage of the gaming state.

  In the case of the special figure 2 related lottery process in step S229, the main control unit 300 acquires the special figure 2 starting information from the earliest (most previously stored) holding position in the special figure 2 random value storage area. Whether or not to make a big hit using the determination table stored in the ROM 306 based on the special figure 2 winning random number value in the acquired special figure 2 start information and the value of the special figure probability variation flag in the RAM 308, etc. And whether to make a small hit or not. Next, the main control unit 300 uses the special figure 2 symbol determination table (not shown) stored in the ROM 306 to determine a symbol (stopped symbol) to be stopped and displayed after the fluctuation display of the special symbol 2 and stores it in the ROM 306. The fluctuation time of the special figure 2 variable game is determined using the special figure 2 variable display time determination table (not shown).

  After fetching the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random value storage area, the main control unit 300 deletes the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random value storage area, 2 is subtracted from the reserved figure number 2 in the reserved number storage area. At this time, the special figure 2 start information extracted from the special figure 2 random value storage area is stored in the temporary area provided in the RAM 308, and the above-described determination is performed based on the special figure 2 start information stored in the temporary area. You may do it.

  After the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) as described above, the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) is performed in the same manner.

  In the above description, the special figure 2 variable game having a high advantage is started in preference to the special figure 1 variable game having a low advantage, and the special figure 2 hold is prioritized over the special figure 1 hold. Special figure 2 priority fluctuation is given as an example, but special figure 1 variable game with low advantage is started over special figure 2 variable game with high advantage, and special figure 1 suspension is The special figure 1 priority fluctuation | variation digested preferentially over hold may be sufficient. In addition, priority is not given to special figure 2 variable game and special figure 1 variable game, and the start opening prize is started in the order in which the special figure variable games related to the holding of each of special figure 1 and special figure 2 are held at the start opening. It may be a forward variation. In the starting order winning order variation, the upper limit number of holds is 8 regardless of the special figures 1 and 2, and compared with the priority fluctuation in which the upper limit number of holds is 4 in each of the special figures 1 and 2 In some cases, the substantial upper limit of the number of holds can be increased.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the lottery process and the variable game relating to the holding of the other special figure are not performed according to the state of the special figure, but the invention is not limited to this, and the special figure state update described above is not performed. The process and the special figure related lottery process may be performed independently in the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, respectively, so that a plurality of special figures may be changed simultaneously. In addition, when a plurality of special figures are changed at the same time, a plurality of areas for displaying the lottery results of each special figure are provided on the decorative symbol display device 208 or the lottery results of each special figure are displayed. A plurality of decorative symbol display devices may be provided, and the lottery results may be displayed separately, or the lottery results of a plurality of special drawings may be displayed in one area. In addition, when fluctuations related to a plurality of special figures are performed simultaneously, the lottery result of the special figure that stopped the fluctuation may affect the lottery result of the special figure that stops the fluctuation later.

  In step S233 following step S231, command setting transmission processing is performed. In this command setting transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits, for example, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bits 11 to 14 are Command type (in this embodiment, basic command, symbol variation start command, symbol variation stop command, winning effect start command, end effect start command, jackpot round number designation command, power recovery command, RAM clear command, prefetch result information command Information that can specify the type of command, etc.), bits 0 to 10 are constituted by command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

In this general command special figure pending increase process, special figure identification information (information showing special figure 1 or special figure 2) stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308, command notice information (preliminary notice information, false) Set either advance notice information or no advance notice information).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step S235 following step S233, external output signal setting processing is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 336.

  In step S237 following step S235, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of the various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read, and the presence or absence of a predetermined error, for example, the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or the presence or absence of a bottom pan full error is monitored. . When a front frame door open error or a lower pan full error is detected, the transmission information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 includes device information indicating whether there is a front frame door open error or a lower pan full error. Set. Further, various solenoids 332 are driven to control the opening / closing of the special figure 2 starting port 232 and the variable prize opening 234, and the general diagram display device 210 and the special diagram 1 display device 212 via the drive circuits 324, 326, 330. The display data to be output to the special figure 2 display device 214, various status display units 328, and the like is set in the output port of the I / O 310. Further, the output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step S219) is output to the payout control unit 600 via the output port of the I / O 310.

  In step S239 following step S237, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is ON. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S243, and when the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S241. In step S241, timer interrupt end processing is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 is set in each original register, interrupt permission is set, etc., and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. Return to. On the other hand, in step S243, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 as return data, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  Next, processing of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. FIG. 8A is a flowchart showing a flow of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. First, in step S301 in FIG. 8A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, an initialization process is first executed in step S301. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

  In step S303 following step S301, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S305. . In step S305, 0 is substituted into the timer variable.

  In step S307 following step S305, command processing is performed. The CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 determines whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

  In step S309 after step S307, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S307, processing such as reading effect data corresponding to the command from the ROM 406 is performed, and when update of the effect data is necessary, effect data update processing is performed.

  In step S311 following step S309, a chance button control process is performed. In the chance button control process, when the pressing of the chance button 136 is detected, the effect data updated in step S309 is changed to the effect data corresponding to the pressing of the chance button 136. Further, in the chance button control process, when the pressing of each button of the setting operation unit 137 is detected, the effect data updated in step S309 is changed to the effect data corresponding to the pressing of each button of the setting operation unit 137. I do.

  In step S313 following step S311, image control processing is performed. In the image control process, if there is a command to the VDP 434 in the effect data read in step S309, this command is output to the VDP 434 (details will be described later).

  In step S319 following step S317, information transmission processing is performed. In the information transmission process, when there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S309, a setting is made to output this control command. Thereafter, the process returns to step S303.

  FIG. 8B is a flowchart showing the flow of the first sub control unit command reception interrupt process (strobe interrupt process) executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal from the main control unit 300. In step S401 of the command reception interrupt process, the command received from the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

  FIG. 8C is a flowchart showing the flow of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this example, once every 2 ms). The timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. Run in cycles. In step S501 of the first sub control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S303 of the first sub control unit main process, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area.

  FIG. 8D is a flowchart showing the flow of the image control process (step S313) of the first sub-control unit main process. In step S601, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 404 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 436. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the decorative design display device 208. Next, the CPU 404 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 406), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 436) and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 434 based on the position information table and the like, and then the image from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 434 transfers the image data from the ROM 406 to the VRAM 436 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 434 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 404.

  In step S603 following step S601, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S605. Wait for the input signal to be input.

  In step S605, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 436 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 436 in step S601, the CPU 404 has information on the image data constituting the display image (coordinate axis and image size of the VRAM 436). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 434. The VDP 434 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S607 following step S605, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 404 instructs the VDP 434 to start drawing an image. The VDP 434 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 404.

  In step S609 following step S607, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 434 based on the end of image drawing is input. If a generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S711. Waits for the generation end interrupt signal to be input.

  In step S711, a scene display counter which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 408 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

  In step S703 subsequent to step S701, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S705. . In step S705, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S707 following step S705, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S709 subsequent to step S707, effect control processing is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step S707, the effect data corresponding to this command is read from the ROM 506, and if the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data is updated.

  In step S711 following step S709, lamp control processing is performed. For example, if there is a command from the first sub-control unit 400 to the game board lamp 532 or the game table frame lamp 542, this command is output to the serial communication control circuit 520.

  In step S713 subsequent to step S711, a movable body control process is performed. For example, when there is a command from the first sub control unit 400 to the various movable bodies 550, this command is output to the drive circuit 516. Thereafter, the process returns to step S703.

  FIG. 9B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects a strobe signal from the first sub control unit 400. In step S801 of the command reception interrupt process, the command received from the first sub control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  FIG. 9C is a flowchart of a timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this example, once every 2 ms). Run in cycles. In step S901 of the timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S703 of the second sub-control unit main process, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S703, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S903 subsequent to step S901, an effect random number update process or the like is performed.

The lower end of the ball passage 703a may be the ball discharge port 703E without providing the ball passage 703b.

  In each of the first to third ball passages 701 to 703, a cross-sectional opening (closed surrounded by an inner wall surface) at a passage cross section (hereinafter referred to as "passage cross section") cut along a plane perpendicular to the flow-down direction of the game ball. The size (opening area) of the region may vary depending on the position of each cross-section of the first to third spherical passages 701 to 703. A cross-sectional opening 701O indicated by a broken-line quadrangle in FIG. 13 indicates the size of the cross-sectional opening in the cross section of the passage at the lower end position of the spherical passage 701a of the first spherical passage 701. Similarly, the cross-sectional opening 702O indicates the size of the cross-sectional opening in the cross section of the passage at the substantially central position of the spherical passage 702c of the second spherical passage 702. Similarly, the cross-sectional opening 703O indicates the size of the cross-sectional opening in the cross section of the passage at the substantially central position of the spherical passage 703a of the third spherical passage 703.

A region surrounded by a lower wall (not shown) to be connected is a hollow region. This hollow region can be variously modified. For example, the lower end wall connecting the right lower end of the left lower side wall 702bldf and the lower end of the left side wall 701bl may be provided as an open end without providing a lower side wall. Alternatively, the cavity region may be embedded by filling the cavity with a resin material. Moreover, you may open the front wall W1 of a cavity area | region. Moreover, you may open parts other than the area | region shared as a front wall of the spherical channel | path 702c among the rear walls W2 of a cavity area | region.

By carrying out like this, it can replace with the structure of the ball path 701a and the ball path 701b, and can make one wide area ball path connected to the ball path 701c. The wide-area sphere passage includes the front wall W1 and the rear wall W2, the right side wall 701ar, the side wall 701au, the oblique side wall 701bu, the right side wall 701br, the lower side wall 701bd, the lower side wall 701bd ′, the left side wall 701al, the right side wall 702br, and the left lower side wall 702bldf. The space is defined by a lower side wall (not shown) connecting the lower right end and the upper end of the left side wall 701cl. Note that the lower end of the left side wall 701al is connected to the upper end of the right side wall 702br.

  Further, the width in the front-rear direction of the rear side wall surface of the front wall W1 and the front side wall surface of the rear wall W2 may have a length equal to or greater than the sum of the diameters of the two game balls. Further, the width in the front-rear direction of the rear side wall surface of the rear wall W2 and the front side wall surface of the rear wall W3 may have a length equal to or greater than the sum of the diameters of the two game balls. In addition, since the front wall W1, the rear wall W2, the rear wall W3, and each side wall are formed of a transparent resin material, a store clerk or the like of the amusement shop is in a situation of dirt inside the ball passage during maintenance of the ball passage unit, etc. It becomes easy to grasp. The front wall W1, the rear wall W2, the rear wall W3, and the side walls may be made of an opaque resin material. In addition, linear grooves or linear protrusions may be formed on the inner wall in the ball passage along the direction in which the game ball flows down. By doing so, there is a case where the game ball can be smoothly and quickly rolled by reducing friction between the inner wall of the ball passage and the game ball. Further, a step may be provided on the slope of the spherical passage, or a slit may be provided on the wall of the spherical passage. By doing so, the flow velocity of the game ball may be adjusted.

  Next, the movement of the game ball passing through the ball passage of the ball passage unit 700 will be described. The game ball guided to the opening 701A flows down through the ball passage 701a and further down to the lower right. Next, the ball moves to the lower right through the ball passage 701b and further flows downward to the lower left. Next, the ball falls downward through the ball passage 701c and passes through the ball detection sensor S. Next, it passes through the opening Y713 and flows down further through the spherical passage 713. Next, it passes through the joining position J712 and flows down to the lower right through the ball passage 703a. Next, it flows down through the ball passage 703b and is discharged from the ball discharge port E. Since the operation of the game ball guided to the openings 701B and 701C is the same as that of the opening 701A, the description thereof is omitted.

  The game ball guided to the opening 702A flows downward through the ball passage 702a. Next, the rolling direction is changed rearward by the direction changing projection Z1 provided in the spherical passage 702b through the spherical passage 702b, and passes through the opening X702b. Next, the rolling direction is changed to the right by the direction changing projection Z2. Next, it moves to the lower right through the ball passage 702c and further flows downward. Next, it moves forward and downward through the ball passage 702d and passes through the opening X702d. Next, it passes through the opening Y723 and flows down further through the spherical passage 723. Next, it passes through the joining position J712 and flows down to the lower right through the ball passage 703a. Next, it flows down through the ball passage 703b and is discharged from the ball discharge port E.

The left decorative member 962 and the right decorative member 964 are molded of, for example, a resin material and have shapes that are symmetrical to each other. The accessory base 966 is formed of, for example, a transparent resin material, and has a predetermined pattern with unevenness on the surface. The central decorative member 960, the left decorative member 962, and the right decorative member 964 are fixed to the front side of the accessory base 966 with screws. The accessory base 966 is fixed to the unit main body 822 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 with screws. Further, the lower end of the center of the accessory base 966 is formed in a semicircular shape that is recessed upward. When various kinds of accessories are attached to the unit main body 822, an upper front decoration accessory 1000 to be described later is arranged below the central lower end of the accessory base 966.

  The first character portion 910 is fixed to the left side of the accessory base portion 966 with a screw, and the seventh character portion 922 is fixed to the right side of the accessory base portion 966 with a screw. For this reason, the first character portion 910 and the seventh character portion 922 are not moved even during the movement operation of the logo movable body 902.

  Next, the drive unit 906 for driving the logo movable body 902 will be described. The drive unit 906 is disposed on the rear side of the accessory base 966 of the base 904. The drive unit 906 includes a motor 970, a base member 972, a spur gear 974, a sector gear 976, a left substrate 980, a right substrate 982, and a photo sensor 984.

  The motor 970 is a drive source for executing the moving operation of the logo movable body 902. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor is used as the motor 970. The rotation shaft of the motor 970 extends in the front-rear direction, and the base member 972 has a through hole through which the rotation shaft of the motor 970 passes. The motor 970 is fixed to the rear side of the base member 972 with a screw so that the rotation shaft passes through the through hole. A spur gear 974 accommodated on the front side of the base member 972 is fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 970.

  A sector gear 976 is disposed below the spur gear 974 and is accommodated in the base member 972. The sector gear 976 is used to transmit the power of the motor 970 to the rotary link mechanism 902b via the spur gear 974. The sector gear 976 has a gear portion 976a and a mounting portion 976b that are integrally molded. The gear portion 976a is meshed with the spur gear 974. The attachment portion 976b is disposed below the gear portion 976a and is fixed to the left end of the left crank base portion 940a of the left crank 940 with a screw. In addition, a circular through hole is formed substantially at the center of the attachment portion 976b. Similarly, a circular through hole is formed at the left end of the left crank base 940 a and the lower left of the accessory base 966. A cylindrical metal rod 990 extending in the front-rear direction is disposed in the through hole of the attachment portion 976b, the left crank base portion 940a, and the accessory base portion 966. The metal rod 990 has a front end fixed to the rear cover 910 d of the first character portion 910 and a rear end fixed to the base member 972 of the drive unit 906. The left crank 940 and the sector gear 976 can rotate integrally with a metal rod 990 as a rotation center. Accordingly, in conjunction with the rotational operation of the sector gear 976, the left crank 940 can rotate by a predetermined angle within a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction with the metal rod 990 as the rotational center.

  A circular through hole is formed at the right end of the right crank base 942a of the right crank 942. A cylindrical metal rod 992 extending in the front-rear direction is disposed in the through hole. The metal rod 992 has a front end fixed to the rear cover of the seventh character portion 922 and a rear end fixed to the lower right of the accessory base 966 of the base 904. Further, as described above, since the gear 940a1 of the left crank base 940a and the gear 942a1 of the right crank base 942a are engaged with each other, the right crank 942 rotates the metal rod 992 in conjunction with the rotation operation of the left crank 940. It can rotate about a predetermined angle in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

  A torsion coil spring 994 is disposed between the right crank 942 and the accessory base 966. A metal rod 992 passes through the coil center of the torsion coil spring 994. One end of the torsion coil spring 994 is fixed to the right crank cover 942b of the right crank 942, and the other end is fixed to the accessory base 966. When the right crank 942 rotates counterclockwise, a force acts on the torsion coil spring 994 in the direction of winding the spring. The torsion coil spring 994 rotates clockwise to the right crank 942 when the right crank 942 rotates clockwise. Torque is applied to assist the right crank 942 in rotating clockwise.

  A left substrate 980 is fixed to the left rear surface of the accessory base 966 with a screw, and a right substrate 982 is fixed to the right rear surface of the accessory base 966 with a screw. A plurality of LEDs are mounted on the front side of the left substrate 980 and the right substrate 982, and the base 904 can emit light using the LEDs. These LEDs are included in the game board lamp 532 shown in FIG. 4 and are driven by the game board lamp drive circuit 530.

  The left substrate 980 is connected to the motor 970 and the LED substrates of the first character portion 910 to the third character portion 914 by wires (not shown). The motor 970 is connected to the drive circuit 516 shown in FIG. 4 through the left board 980, and the LED boards of the first character part 910 to the third character part 914 are driven through the left board 980 as shown in FIG. Connected to circuit 530. In addition, the LED boards of the fourth character portion 916 to the seventh character portion 922 are connected to the right substrate 982 by wiring (not shown). The LED boards of the fourth character portion 916 to the seventh character portion 922 are connected to the game board lamp drive circuit 530 shown in FIG. Thereby, the movement operation of the logo movable body 902 of the logo accessory 900 and the light emission operation of the LED (light emitting means) are controlled by the second sub-control unit 500. In addition, wiring between the logo accessory 900 and the first sub-control unit 400 or the second sub-control unit 500 can be consolidated.

  In addition, a photosensor 984 is fixed to the base member 972 with screws. The photosensor 984 is included in the various movable body sensors 430 shown in FIG. 4, and is connected to the sensor circuit 428 shown in FIG. The photosensor 984 includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit that are arranged to face each other in the vertical direction across the space. Further, a light shielding piece (not shown) made of, for example, a black resin material is provided on the rear side of the gear portion 976a of the sector gear 976. When the logo movable body 902 is located at the uppermost movable position, the light shielding piece enters between the light receiving portion and the light emitting portion of the photosensor 984. In the present embodiment, the photo sensor 984 detects the presence or absence of a light shielding piece of the sector gear 976, and the first sub-control unit 400 detects that the light shielding piece is detected by the photo sensor 984 and the logo movable body 902 is at the uppermost position. When the photo sensor 984 does not detect the light shielding piece, it is determined that the logo movable body 902 is located at a position other than the uppermost position.

  Next, operation | movement of the logo movable body 902 of the logo accessory 900 is demonstrated using FIG. 19 and FIG. FIG. 19 is an external view of the logo accessory 900 viewed from the front side, and FIG. 20 is an external view of the logo accessory 900 viewed from the rear side.

  FIG. 19A and FIG. 20A show a state where the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position. As shown in FIG. 19A, when the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position, the first character portion 910 to the seventh character portion 922 of the character decoration portion 902a are arranged in a substantially straight line in the left-right direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position, the longitudinal directions of the left crank 940, the right crank 942 and the link member 944 of the rotary link mechanism 902b are directed in the left-right direction. It has become. Further, the gear 940a1 of the left crank 940 and the gear 942a2 of the right crank 942 are meshed at the center.

  FIGS. 19B and 20B show a state in which the logo movable body 902 moves upward from the initial position and is positioned at the uppermost position in the movement range. The logo movable body 902 is driven by the motor 970 of the drive unit 906 and can perform an operation of moving from the initial position to the uppermost position.

  When moving the logo movable body 902 upward, the second sub-control unit 500 drives the motor 970 to rotate the rotation axis of the motor 970 clockwise toward the paper surface of FIG. 19 (toward the paper surface of FIG. 20). Rotate counterclockwise). As a result, the spur gear 974 fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 970 rotates clockwise, and the sector gear 976 engaged with the spur gear 974 rotates counterclockwise. Further, the left crank 940 fixed to the sector gear 976 rotates counterclockwise, and the right crank 942 including the gear 942a2 meshed with the gear 940a1 of the left crank 940 rotates clockwise. As shown in FIG. 20B, the guided portion provided on the rear side of the right crank 942 has an oval guide hole portion of the link member 944 corresponding to the amount of displacement of the right crank 942 in the left direction. Is moved to the left (to the right in FIG. 20). Further, the link member 944 also moves upward in accordance with the operations of the left crank 940 and the right crank 942.

  Next, the movement operation of the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 of the character decoration portion 902a during the upward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 will be described using the fourth character portion 916 as an example. As shown in FIG. 20, the fourth character portion 916 has an oval guide hole in which a guided portion 916d4 provided on the rear side of the rear cover of the fourth character portion 916 is provided in the left crank base portion 940a. The portion 940a2 is attached to the left crank base 940a so as to be movable.

  An imaginary straight line passing through the long axis of the oval guide hole 940a2 passes through the center of rotation of the left crank 940. Similarly, an imaginary straight line passing through the major axes of two oval guide holes provided in the left crank 940 passes through the center of rotation of the left crank 940. Similarly, an imaginary straight line passing through the major axes of the two oval guide holes provided in the right crank 942 passes through the center of rotation of the right crank 942.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, when the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position, the longitudinal direction of the guide hole 940a2 is directed to the upper left (in FIG. 20, the upper right toward the paper surface). ing. When the upward movement of the logo movable body 902 is executed, the left crank 940 rotates counterclockwise (in FIG. 20, clockwise toward the paper surface), and the guide hole 940a2 is a circle centering on the rotation axis of the left crank 940. It moves to the upper left (in FIG. 20, the upper right toward the page) while drawing a movement trajectory in an arc. At this time, the guided portion 916d4 is moved upward by being guided by the guide hole portion 940a2. Further, the fourth character portion 916 is moved upward by being guided by the guide bar 928 extending in the vertical direction shown in FIG. Further, as described above, the upper end fixing portion 914d2 of the guide rod 928 of the third character portion 914 functions as a mechanical end of the fourth character portion 916. The fourth character portion 916 is stopped when the guided portion 916d1 of the fourth character portion 916 sliding on the guide rod 928 contacts the upper end fixing portion 914d2 of the third character portion 914. Further, as shown in FIG. 20B, the fourth character portion 916 stops before the guided portion 916d4 comes into contact with the right end of the guide hole portion 940a2 (the left end toward the paper surface in FIG. 20).

  Thus, the rotational motion of the motor 970 is transmitted to the fourth character portion 916 as a vertical motion through the guide hole 940a2 provided in the left crank 940. The operation principle of the second character portion 912, the third character portion 914, the fifth character portion 918, and the sixth character portion 920 is the same as that of the fourth character portion 916. The rotational motion of the motor 970 is transmitted as a linear motion to the second character portion 912 and the third character portion 914 via the left crank 940 and is linearly transmitted to the fifth character portion 918 and the sixth character portion 920 via the right crank 942. It is transmitted as movement. As a result, the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 move linearly upward. As shown in FIG. 20B, the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 are guided by guide bars 924 to 932 arranged in parallel with each other, and thus move upward in parallel with each other. Moreover, since the 1st character part 910 and the 7th character part 922 are being fixed to the accessory base 966 as mentioned above, they do not move.

  As described above, when the upward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is performed, the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 which are a plurality of portions of the logo movable body 902 move upward in parallel with each other.

  Further, the left crank 940 performs a rotation operation when the upward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is performed, and the operation amount is larger in a portion farther than a portion near the rotation center. In this example, a first character portion 910 to a fourth character portion 916 are attached from the side closer to the rotation center of the left crank 940. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 19B, the amount of movement when the logo moving body 902 is moved upward is increased in the order of the second character portion 912, the third character portion 914, and the fourth character portion 916. It has become.

  Similarly, the right crank 942 performs a rotation operation when the upward movement of the logo movable body 902 is performed, and the amount of operation in the portion far from the portion near the rotation center is larger. In this example, a sixth character portion 920 and a fifth character portion 918 are attached from the side closer to the rotation center of the right crank 942. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 19B, the movement amount when the logo moving body 902 is moved upward is increased in the order of the sixth character portion 920 and the fifth character portion 918.

  In addition, the absolute values of the rotation angles of the left crank 940 and the right crank 942 when the upward movement of the logo movable body 902 is performed are substantially equal, and the third character portion 914 and the third character portion 914 arranged next to the fourth character portion 916 are the same. The movement amount of the fifth character portion 918 is substantially equal, and the movement amounts of the second character portion 912 and the sixth character portion 920 are substantially equal. Further, the movement amount of the fourth character portion 916 is the largest among the logo movable bodies 902.

  Next, an operation in which the logo movable body 902 moves from the initial position to the lowest position in the movement range will be described. FIG. 19C and FIG. 20C show a state in which the logo movable body 902 is located at the lowest position. The logo movable body 902 is driven by the motor 970 of the drive unit 906 and can perform an operation of moving from the initial position to the lowest position.

  When the logo movable body 902 is driven to execute the downward movement operation, the second sub-control unit 500 drives the motor 970 and rotates the rotation axis of the motor 970 counterclockwise toward the paper surface of FIG. (Clockwise toward the paper surface of FIG. 20). As a result, the spur gear 974 fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 970 rotates counterclockwise, and the sector gear 976 engaged with the spur gear 974 rotates clockwise (counterclockwise toward the plane of FIG. 20). . Further, the left crank 940 fixed to the sector gear 976 rotates clockwise, and the right crank 942 including the gear 942a2 meshed with the gear 940a1 of the left crank 940 rotates counterclockwise. Further, as shown in FIG. 20C, the guided portion provided on the rear side of the right crank 942 has an oval guide hole portion of the link member 944 by the amount of displacement of the right crank 942 in the left direction. Are moved in the right direction (leftward toward the paper surface of FIG. 20). Further, the link member 944 also moves downward in accordance with the operations of the left crank 940 and the right crank 942.

  Next, the movement operation of the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 of the character decoration portion 902a when the downward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is executed will be described by taking the fourth character portion 916 as an example. When the downward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is executed, the left crank 940 rotates clockwise (in FIG. 20, counterclockwise toward the paper surface), and the guide hole 940a2 is a circle centered on the rotation axis of the left crank 940. The movement trajectory is drawn in an arc shape and moves to the lower left (lower right toward the page in FIG. 20). At this time, the guided portion 916d4 is moved downward by being guided by the guide hole portion 940a2. Further, the fourth character portion 916 is moved downward by being guided by the guide bar 928 extending in the vertical direction shown in FIG.

  When the downward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is performed, the guide hole portion 940a2 functions as a mechanical end of the fourth character portion 916. The fourth character portion 916 stops when the guided portion 916d4 of the fourth character portion 916 contacts the right end portion of the guide hole portion 940a2 (the left end portion toward the paper surface in FIG. 20).

  As described above, when the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position, the longitudinal direction of the guide hole portion 940a2 is directed to the upper left (upper right toward the paper surface in FIG. 20). For this reason, when the downward movement of the logo movable body 902 in which the left crank 940 rotates clockwise (clockwise in FIG. 20), the left crank 940 rotates counterclockwise (toward the paper in FIG. 20). The movement distance of the guided portion 916d4 is smaller than that when the upward moving operation of the logo movable body 902 rotating clockwise is performed. Therefore, when the downward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is performed, the rotation angle of the left crank 940 is smaller than when the upward movement operation is performed, and the movement amount of the fourth character portion 916 is also small.

  The operation principle of the second character portion 912, the third character portion 914, the fifth character portion 918, and the sixth character portion 920 is the same as that of the fourth character portion 916. As shown in FIG. 20 (c), the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 are guided by guide bars 924 to 932 arranged in parallel with each other, and are lowered downward in parallel with each other. Moreover, since the 1st character part 910 and the 7th character part 922 are being fixed to the accessory base 966 as mentioned above, they do not move.

  Further, since the left crank 940 rotates when the logo moving body 902 is moved downward, as shown in FIG. 19C, the second character portion 912, the third character portion 914, and the fourth character portion 904 are moved. The operation amount increases in the order of the character portion 916.

  Similarly, the right crank 942 rotates when the logo movable body 902 is moved downward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19C, the sixth character portion 920 and the fifth character portion 918 are arranged in this order. The amount of movement increases.

  In addition, the absolute values of the rotation angles of the left crank 940 and the right crank 942 when the downward movement of the logo movable body 902 is performed are substantially equal, and the third character portion 914 and the third character portion 914 arranged next to the fourth character portion 916 are the same. The movement amount of the fifth character portion 918 is substantially equal, and the movement amounts of the second character portion 912 and the sixth character portion 920 are substantially equal. Further, the movement amount of the fourth character portion 916 is the largest among the logo movable bodies 902.

  Thus, when the downward movement operation of the logo movable body 902 is performed, the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 which are a plurality of portions of the logo movable body 902 move downward in parallel with each other.

  The initial position of the logo movable body 902 is a position after the operation confirmation of the logo movable body 902 is performed when the pachinko machine 100 is turned on. When the pachinko machine 100 is turned on, the logo movable body 902 moves to the lowermost position shown in FIG. 19C, then moves to the uppermost position shown in FIG. 19B, and then moves to FIG. Move to the initial position shown in (a) and stop. It should be noted that the upper front ornament character 1000, the upper rear ornament character 1100, the upper right side character 1200, the upper left side character 1300, the lower right side character 1400, the lower left side character 1500, and the central lower character 1600. As for the movable bodies included in the apparatus, operation confirmation is performed when the pachinko machine 100 is turned on, and these movable bodies stop at the initial position after the operation confirmation.

  In the present embodiment, the moving amount of the logo movable body 902 from the initial position to the uppermost position is larger than the moving amount from the initial position to the lowermost position. More specifically, the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920, which are a plurality of movable portions of the logo movable body 902, are located at the uppermost position from the initial position rather than the amount of movement from the initial position to the lowermost position. The amount of movement until moving to is larger. In addition, compared with the same movable part among the plurality of movable parts of the logo movable body 902, the movement amount until moving from the initial position to the uppermost position is larger than the movement amount until moving from the initial position to the lowermost position. It only has to be bigger. In addition, the whole of the second character portion 912 to the sixth character portion 920 that are a plurality of portions of the logo movable body 902 may be movable in parallel with each other, or the second character portion 912 that is a plurality of movable portions. -A part of the sixth character part 920 may be movable in parallel with each other.

  The uppermost position of the logo movable body 902 is a position away from the decorative symbol display device 208, and the lowermost position of the logo movable body 902 is a position overlapping the decorative symbol display device 208 in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, the moving amount of the logo movable body 902 that is farthest away from the decorative symbol display device 208 is larger than the downward moving amount that approaches the decorative symbol display device 208. Note that the moving amount of the logo movable body 902 in the direction away from the decorative symbol display device 208 may be smaller than the moving amount in the direction approaching the decorative symbol display device 208.

  Further, the logo movable body 902 may include a sub display device smaller than the decorative symbol display device 208. Sub display devices include liquid crystal display devices, dot matrix display devices, 7 segment display devices, organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display devices, reel (drum) display devices, leaf display devices, plasma displays, and other displays including projectors. Devices can be used. The sub display device may be controlled by the first sub control unit 400, may be controlled by the second sub control unit 500, and the first sub control unit 400 and the second sub control unit 500 are Alternatively, a display control unit may be provided and controlled by the display control unit.

  Further, the logo movable body 902 may be capable of rotating the first character portion 910 to the seventh character portion 922, may be capable of rotating after the upward movement operation, or may be upward after the rotational operation. It may be moved, may be able to rotate after the downward movement, or may be moved downward after the rotation is performed.

  Moreover, the logo movable body 902 may be movable to a position below the lower end of the image display area of the decorative symbol display device 208 by a downward movement operation.

It becomes the state extended from the long. The tension coil springs 1082r and 1082l use the restoring force to assist the power of the motor 1070 for the upper front movable body 1002 to return to the initial position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 22, an upper photosensor 1084 and a lower photosensor 1086 are fixed to the right base portion 850a with screws on the right side of the outer rail 1078. The upper photosensor 1084 is disposed so that the upper end of the outer rail 1078 is substantially the same in the vertical direction, and the lower photosensor 1086 is disposed so that the lower end of the outer rail 1078 is substantially the same in the vertical direction. . The upper photosensor 1084 and the lower photosensor 1086 are used to detect the position of the upper front movable body 1002. The upper photosensor 1084 and the lower photosensor 1086 are included in various movable body sensors 430 shown in FIG. 4, and are connected to the sensor circuit 428 shown in FIG.

  The upper photosensor 1084 and the lower photosensor 1086 have a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion that are arranged to face each other in the front-rear direction across the space portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the mounting member 1022 fixed to the base portion 1002b of the upper front movable body 1002 is provided with a light shielding piece (not shown) formed of a light impermeable member.

Thereby, the wiring which connects the upper front ornament 1000 and the 1st sub control part 400 and the 2nd sub control part 500 can be collected.

  Next, the operation of the lens movable body 1002a and the movable portions 1010a to 1010j will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 shows a state in which the upper front movable body 1002 is viewed from the front upper right to the rear lower left. In FIG. 23, the upper front movable body 1002 is disassembled into a lens movable body 1002a and a base portion 1002b, and the lens movable body 1002a is further disassembled into an outer decorative portion 1012 and an inner decorative portion 1014. In FIG. 23, the movable portion 1010a and the movable portion support portion 1014e are illustrated as being removed from the inner decoration portion 1014. In FIG. 23, the principle of operation of the movable parts 1010a to 1010j will be described by taking the movable part 1010a and the movable part support part 1014e as examples.

  FIG. 23A shows a state where the lens movable body 1002a is located at the end of the movement range. The lens movable body 1002a is located at the end in the initial state. The lens movable body 1002a is driven by the front / rear drive unit 1004 and can move forward from the rearmost position. Further, the movable portions 1010a to 1010j can be moved in conjunction with the moving operation of the lens movable body 1002a. When the lens movable body 1002a is located at the rearmost position, the movable portions 1010a to 1010j are located at the initial positions.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23A, when the lens movable body 1002a is located at the rearmost position, the front portion of the rack portion 1038a of the right moving member 1038 meshes with the spur gear 1024. Similarly, the front portion of the rack portion 1044 a of the left moving member 1044 meshes with the spur gear 1032. The guided member with rack 1050 is positioned at the lowermost end, and the upper portion of the rack portion 1050 b is engaged with the spur gear 1056. Further, the lower end portions of the guide hole portion 1014b2 of the rotating disk 1014b and the long hole portion 1014c1 of the long hole disk 1014c overlap in the front-rear direction. When the movable portion 1010a is located at the initial position, the guided portion 1014e2 of the movable portion support portion 1014e is at the lower end of the guide hole portion 1014b2 of the rotating disc 1014b and the lower end of the elongated hole portion 1014c1 of the long hole disc 1014c. It comes to contact.

  FIG. 23B shows a state where the lens movable body 1002a has moved to the forefront position in the movement range. The movable lens body 1002a is configured such that the rotational motion of the motor 1020 is converted into a linear motion and transmitted, and is linearly movable in the front-rear direction.

  Specifically, the motor 1020 is driven, and the rotation shaft of the motor 1020 and the spur gear 1024 fixed to the rotation shaft rotate clockwise as viewed from the right to the left. As a result, the right moving member 1038 having the rack portion 1038 a meshed with the spur gear 1024 is guided by the right guide rod 1034 and moved forward. Further, the spur gear 1028 meshed with the spur gear 1024, the shaft 1026, and the spur gear 1030 rotate counterclockwise. A spur gear 1032 is meshed with the spur gear 1030, and a rack portion 1044 a of the left moving member 1044 is meshed with the spur gear 1032. For this reason, the left moving member 1044 is guided by the left guide rod 1040 and moves forward.

  The right moving member 1038 and the left moving member 1044 move forward in parallel with each other at the same speed. In addition, the lens movable body 1002a is fixed to the front end portions of the right moving member 1038 and the left moving member 1044. Therefore, the movable lens body 1002a can move forward in conjunction with the forward movement of the right moving member 1038 and the left moving member 1044.

  As the right moving member 1038 moves forward, the guided member with rack 1050 attached to the right moving member 1038 rises while moving forward. Specifically, a slide bearing 1054 attached to the guided member with rack 1050 via the guided shaft 1052 is guided and moved by the guide groove 1060a of the decorative member 1060 with guide groove. Since the decorative member 1060 with the guide groove is fixed to the base portion 1002b, it does not move in conjunction with the movement operation of the lens movable body 1002a in the front-rear direction. The guide groove 1060a extends obliquely from the lower rear to the upper front. For this reason, the slide bearing 1054 is guided by the guide groove 1060a and moves upward. With this moving operation, the guided member with rack 1050 moves upward along the front groove 1038c and the rear groove 1038d provided in the right moving member 1038 and extending in the front-rear direction. As the guided member with rack 1050 moves upward, the spur gear 1056 meshed with the rack portion 1050b of the guided member with rack 1050 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the right to the left. Thereby, the rotating disk 1014b including the gear portion 1014b1 meshed with the spur gear 1056 rotates clockwise as viewed from the front.

  In conjunction with the clockwise rotation of the rotating disk 1014b, the movable portions 1010a to 1010j are linearly moved toward the outer periphery of the inner decorative portion 1014. Next, the operation principle of the movable parts 1010a to 1010j will be described by taking the movable part 1010a as an example. As described above, the movable portion 1010a is fixed to the movable portion support portion 1014e.

  By the clockwise rotation of the rotating disk 1014b, the guide hole portion 1014b2 of the rotating portion 1010b moves clockwise. The guided portion 1014e2 is guided by a guide hole portion 1014b2 extending in a direction intersecting obliquely from the upper left to the lower right with respect to a virtual circumference passing through the middle of the inner edge and the outer edge of the rotating disk 1014b. Move from the lower right corner to the upper left corner. At this time, the movable portion support portion 1014e is provided along the long hole portion 1014c1 that is fixed to the outer decorative portion 1012 and is not rotated and is provided in the long hole portion 1014c1 that extends in the radial direction of the outer periphery of the long hole circular plate 1014c. The inner decorative portion 1014 moves from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side. Thereby, the movable part 1010a fixed to the movable part support part 1014e moves from the inner peripheral side of the inner decorative part 1014 to the outer peripheral side. In this manner, the movable portion support portion 1014e linearly moves toward the outer periphery in conjunction with the clockwise rotation operation of the rotating disk 1014b.

  Similarly, the movable parts 1010b to 1010j are moved from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side of the inner decorative part 1014 in conjunction with the clockwise rotation of the rotary disk 1014b. In this way, in conjunction with the forward movement of the lens movable body 1002a, the front decoration unit 1010 can perform an opening operation such as opening an umbrella. The operating principle of the front decoration 1010 is the same as the operating principle of the movable body 1425 shown in FIG. 30 and described later.

  Naturally, the lens movable body 1002a can move backward from the position shown in FIG. 23 (b) to the position shown in FIG. 23 (a). In this case, the motor 1020 and the spur gears 1024, 1028, 1030, and 1032 rotate reversely to the case where the lens movable body 1002a moves forward, and the right moving member 1038 and the left moving member 1044 move backward. Further, the guided member with rack 1050 moves downward, and the spur gear 1056 and the rotating disk 1014b rotate in the reverse direction to the case where the lens movable body 1002a moves forward. Thereby, the movable parts 1010a to 1010j return to the initial positions.

  Next, the vertical movement operation of the upper front movable body 1002 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is an external view of the upper front ornament 1000 as viewed from the front side. The upper front movable body 1002 is driven by the vertical drive unit 1006 and can move in the vertical direction. Further, as described above, the lens movable body 1002a is included in the upper front movable body 1002.

  FIG. 24A shows a state where the upper front movable body 1002 is located at the initial position (upper position). The initial position of the upper front movable body 1002 is the uppermost position in the movement range of the upper front movable body 1002.

  FIG. 24B shows a state where the upper front movable body 1002 has moved to an intermediate position between the uppermost position and the lowermost position. When the upper front movable body 1002 moves downward, the rotation shaft of the motor 1070 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the front side. As a result, the spur gear 1072 fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 1070 rotates counterclockwise, the lower right end of the rack 1074a meshed with the spur gear 1072 is raised, and the lower left end is lowered. At this time, the rack 1074a includes a portion that moves while being guided linearly and a portion that moves while being guided in an arc shape. Since the lower left end of the rack 1074a is fixed to the upper front movable body 1002, the upper front movable body 1002 is guided by the guide rod 1066, the outer rail 1078, and the inner rail 1080 in conjunction with the operation of the rack 1074a. Moving.

  FIG. 24C shows a state where the upper front movable body 1002 has moved to the lowest position. The lower end fixing portion 1008a2 that fixes the guide rod 1066 functions as a mechanical end, and the upper front movable body 1002 is stopped.

  Naturally, the upper front movable body 1002 can move upward from the lowermost position shown in FIG. 24C toward the uppermost position (initial position) shown in FIG. When the upper front movable body 1002 moves upward, the rotation shaft and the spur gear of the motor 1070 rotate clockwise as viewed from the front side, the lower right end of the rack 1074a is lowered, and the lower left end is raised. In conjunction with this, the upper front movable body 1002 is guided by the guide rod 1066, the outer rail 1078, and the inner rail 1080 and moves upward. When the upper front movable body 1002 moves upward, the upper end of the outer rail 1078 functions as a mechanical end.

Further, when the upper front movable body 1002 is located at the initial position shown in FIG. 24A, the area occupied by the upper front movable body 1002 is set as the second area, and is located at the lowermost position shown in FIG. In this case, a region occupied by the upper front movable body 1002 is set as a fourth region. The area occupied by the lens movable body 1002a when the lens movable body 1002a moves forward and the upper front movable body 1002 moves forward is also included in the fourth area. The fourth region is a region including at least a part of the first region. As described above, the upper front movable body 1002 can move to a region where the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position. As a result, the logo movable body 902 and the upper front movable body 1002 can be associated with each other to perform various operations.

  When the logo movable body 902 is located at the initial position and the upper front movable body 1002 is located at the initial position, the upper front movable body 1002 is located behind the logo movable body 902, and the logo movable body 902 and the upper front movable body are located.

  The sub display device may be disposed behind the third region occupied by the logo movable body 902. In other words, the third region is a region including a region in which at least a part of the region is in front of the display region of the sub display device. Thereby, since the sub display device exists at the destination of the upward movement of the logo movable body 902, it may be possible to naturally pay attention to the upward movement operation of the logo movable body 902.

  Further, the logo movable body 902 may be disposed behind the upper front movable body 1002. In this case, the upper front movable body 1002 may be movable backward.

  Further, the upper front movable body 1002 may be movable upward from the initial position.

  Next, the upper back decoration accessory 1100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 26 to 28. First, the configuration of the upper back decoration accessory 1100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 22. 26 and 22 are exploded perspective views of the upper rear decoration accessory 1100. FIG. 26 and 22 show a state in which the upper rear decoration accessory 1100 is viewed from the front upper right to the rear lower left. Note that FIG. 22 shows a part of the above-mentioned upper front decoration accessory 1000.

  As shown in FIGS. 26 and 22, the upper rear decoration accessory 1100 is roughly composed of an upper rear movable body 1102 and a vertical drive unit 1104.

  First, the upper rear movable body 1102 will be described with reference to FIG. 27 and FIG. FIG. 27 shows a state in which the upper rear movable body 1102 is viewed from the front upper right to the rear lower left. The upper rear movable body 1102 includes a front cover 1102a, a rotationally movable part 1102b, a base part 1102c, and a rotational drive part 1102d.

  The front cover 1102 a is disposed in the forefront of the upper rear decoration accessory 1100. The front cover is formed of, for example, a transparent resin material, has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction when viewed from the front, and has a circular opening 1102a1 at the center.

  A rotationally movable portion 1102b is disposed behind the front cover 1102a. The rotation movable portion 1102b includes a geared rotation member 1110, a first gear member 1114, a second gear member 1116, a rotation decoration support member 1118, metal rods 1120, 1128, and 1132, spur gears 1122, 1130, and 1134, and a rotation decoration portion 1124. A frame member 1126, a light shielding piece 1136, and a lens member 1138.

  First, the function of the rotary movable unit 1102b will be briefly described. The rotation movable part 1102b is used to produce a game by rotating the rotation decoration part 1124. The geared rotary member 1110 is rotatably accommodated in the front cover 1102a. A gear portion 1110 b is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating member with gear 1110. Further, a spur gear 1142 fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 1140 fixed to the base portion 1102c is meshed with the gear portion 1110b. For this reason, when the rotation shaft of the motor 1140 rotates clockwise, the spur gear 1142 rotates clockwise and the geared rotating member 1110 rotates counterclockwise.

  Further, a first gear member 1114 and a second gear member 1116 are fixed to the rear inner side of the geared rotary member 1110. A metal rod 1120 is attached to the first gear member 1114, and a spur gear 1122 is fixed to one end of the metal rod 1120. When the first gear member 1114 rotates together with the geared rotating member 1110, the spur gear 1122 rotates and moves along the gear portion 1102c2 of the base portion 1102c. The spur gear 1122 and the gear portion 1102c2 mesh with each other, and the spur gear 1122 rotates about the longitudinal direction of the metal rod 1120 while rotating. Further, since one end of the metal rod 1120 is fixed to the spur gear 1122, the metal rod 1120 rotates as the spur gear 1122 rotates.

  A rotating decoration support member 1118 is disposed in an approximately hemispherical internal space 1115 (see FIG. 27) surrounded by the first gear member 1114 and the second gear member 1116. Since the other end of the metal bar 1120 is fixed to the rotating decoration support member 1118, the rotation decoration support member 1118 rotates as the metal bar 1120 rotates.

  In addition, metal bars 1128 and 1132 are attached to the rotary decoration support member 1118. Spur gears 1130 and 1132 are fixed to one end of the metal rods 1128 and 1132, and a rotary decoration portion 1124 is fixed to the other end. As the rotary decoration support member 1118 rotates, the spur gear 1130 rotates and moves along the first gear portion 1114e, and the spur gear 1134 rotates and moves along the second gear portion 1116e. The spur gear 1130 meshes with the first gear portion 1114e, and the spur gear 1134 meshes with the second gear portion 1116e. Therefore, the spur gear 1130 rotates with the longitudinal direction of the metal rod 1128 rotating as the rotation axis while rotating, and the spur gear 1134 rotates with the longitudinal direction of the metal rod 1132 as the rotation axis while rotating. Along with this, the metal bars 1128 and 1132 rotate, and the rotation decoration portion 1124 rotates as the metal bars 1128 and 1132 rotate.

The rotation decoration unit 1124 can perform a complicated rotation operation in the three-dimensional space by driving the motor 1140.
First, the rotation decoration portion 1124 is centered around the center of the rotation decoration support member 1118 between the support ends (between the rotation axes of the metal bars 1120) (between the metal bars 1128 and 1132). Hereinafter, the rotation center is referred to as “the rotation center of the rotation decoration portion 1124”, and the rotation can be rotated around an axis that passes through the rotation center and is parallel to the front-rear direction (hereinafter referred to as “front-rear axis”). When the motor 1140 is driven, the rotating member 1110 with the gear rotates around the front-rear axis with the center of the opening 1110a as the center of rotation (coincides with the center of rotation of the rotating decorative portion 1124 when viewed in the front-rear direction). The first gear member 1114 and the second gear member 1116 fixed to the member 1110 also rotate around the longitudinal axis. As a result, the rotary decoration portion 1124 housed inside the first gear member 1114 and the second gear member 1116 rotates around the front-rear axis.
Secondly, the rotation decoration unit 1124 can rotate around an axis (hereinafter referred to as “left-right axis”) that passes through the rotation center of the rotation decoration unit 1124 and is parallel to the left-right direction. The rotation axis of the metal rod 1120 is orthogonal to the front-rear direction. Therefore, the geared rotating member 1110 is rotated around the front-rear axis and adjusted so that the rotation axis of the metal rod 1120 is parallel to the left-right direction, and then the geared rotating member 1110 is restricted so that it cannot rotate about the front-rear axis. When the motor 1140 is driven, the base portion 1102c to which the motor 1140 is attached rotates about the front-rear axis, and the gear portion 1102c2 of the base portion 1102c rotates about the front-rear axis. The rotation of the spur gear 1122 meshing with the gear portion 1102c2 causes the metal rod 1120 to rotate around the left and right axis, and the rotating decoration support member 1118 connected to the metal rod 1120 rotates around the left and right axis. Thereby, the rotation decoration part 1124 can rotate around the left-right axis.
Thirdly, the rotation decoration part 1124 can rotate around an axis (hereinafter referred to as “vertical axis”) that passes through the rotation center of the rotation decoration part 1124 and is parallel to the vertical direction. The extending direction of the metal rods 1128 and 1132 is orthogonal to the rotation axis of the metal rod 1120. That is, the rotation axis of the rotary decoration support member 1118 is orthogonal to the rotation axis of the metal rod 1120. Therefore, in the state in which the rotation decoration portion 1124 is rotated around the left and right axes as described above, the base portion 1102c is rotated around the left and right axes at a predetermined rotation speed, and the extending direction of the metal rods 1128 and 1132 is set in the vertical direction. If it is adjusted to be parallel to the rotation ornament part 1124, the rotation decoration part 1124 can be rotated around the vertical axis.
As described above, the rotation decoration unit 1124 can simultaneously perform rotation around the three orthogonal coordinate axes in the three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system having the rotation center of the rotation decoration unit 1124 as the origin.

  The geared rotating member 1110 is disposed inside the front cover 1102a. The rotating member with gear 1110 has a circular shallow vessel shape, is arranged so that the bottom surface faces forward, and a substantially circular opening 1110a is opened at the center of the bottom surface.

The center of the pitch circle of the second gear portion 1116e is the center of the through hole. The central angle of the second gear portion 1116e is about 210 degrees. The second gear portion 1116e has the same number of teeth as the first gear portion 1114e, and the pitch circle radius is longer than that of the first gear portion 1114e.

  Further, the first gear member 1114 and the second gear member 1116 are arranged such that the convex direction of the curved surface of the side surface portion 1114d and the convex direction of the curved surface of the side surface portion 1116d are opposite to each other, in other words, the first gear member 1114e. The tooth tips and the second gear portion 1116e are arranged to face each other so that the tooth tips are opposed to each other. The positioning portion 1114b of the first gear member 1114 is disposed to face the positioning portion 1116b of the second gear member 1116, and the positioning portion 1114c of the first gear member 1114 is disposed to face the positioning portion 1116c of the second gear member 1116.

That is, the inner decoration part 1425c is integrated with the inner decoration part 1425b, and thus rotates integrally with the inner decoration part 1425b.

  The support portion with guide rod 1425d is used to execute the above-described radial movement and rotational movement of the decoration portions 1425a1 to 1425a6 of the outer decoration portion 1425a. The support portion 1425d with guide rod is divided into six pieces (support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6), and is disposed in front of the front circular plate 1425e with holes. Further, each of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 has the same shape, and has a substantially trapezoidal shape in which the long side on the outer side has an arc shape. Further, the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are arranged so that the inner sides are arranged in a ring shape with hexagonal openings by arranging the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6. The decorative portion 1425c is rotatable. Further, a substantially cylindrical guide rod (partially shown) is provided on the rear surface of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6. In addition, although the support part 1425d with a guide rod is formed with resin which is not transparent, you may be formed with transparent resin.

  The holed front disk 1425e is used for rotating the inner decoration part 1425b and the inner decoration part 1425c. The front disc 1425e with a hole is disposed behind the support portion 1425d with a guide rod. Further, the holed front disk 1425e has a substantially disk shape. A through-hole through which the shaft 1419f can rotate is provided at the center of the holed front disk 1425e. The front circular plate with holes 1425e is provided with six long holes each having a predetermined length at intervals of 60 ° in the radial direction from the vicinity of the center of the circle. In these six long holes, the guide bars of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 corresponding to each of the six long holes are movably disposed. In addition, when the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are moving radially along these long holes, the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 almost exert a force on the front circular plate 1425e with holes. It is supposed not to. Further, the two screwing portions of the front disk 1425e with holes and the inner decoration portion 1425b are fixed by screwing. For this reason, when the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are stopped at the ends (upper and lower ends) of these six long holes, the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are rotated and moved. A rotational force acts on the holed front disk 1425e, and the inner decoration part 1425b and the medium decoration part 1425c fixed to the holed front disk 1425e rotate. Further, the front circular plate with holes 1425e is formed of a transparent resin material in order to transmit the light of the LED mounted on the LED substrate 1415, but is not limited thereto.

  The rear disk 1425f with holes is used to execute the radial movement and rotational movement of the decoration portions 1425a1 to 1425a6 and the rotation operation of the inner decoration portion 1425b and the middle decoration portion 1425c. The holed rear disk 1425f has a substantially disk shape. Further, the holed rear disk 1425f is disposed behind the holed front disk 1425e, and is disposed at a predetermined position on the front surface of the movable body support portion 1413 so as to be rotatable. In addition, a through hole for passing the shaft 1419f is provided at the center of the holed rear disk 1425f. Further, a substantially rectangular (not shown) fixing portion for fixing to the spur gear 1419c is formed at the center of the rear surface of the holed rear disk 1425f. For this reason, the force by the rotation of the spur gear 1419c is transmitted to the holed rear disk 1425f. In addition, in the rear circular plate 1425f with holes, substantially arc-shaped long holes having a predetermined length are formed in a spiral shape around the center of the circle at intervals of 60 °. In these six long holes, the guide bars of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 corresponding to the six long holes are slidably (or rollable). Further, in the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6, the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are guided by the corresponding long holes as the holed rear disk 1425f rotates. In this case, the above-described radial movement can be executed. Further, in the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6, the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 stop at the end portions of the corresponding long holes as the holed rear disk 1425f rotates. In this case, the rotational movement described above can be executed. That is, by performing the above-described radial movement in the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6, the decorative portions 1425a1 to 1425a6 of the outer decoration portion 1425a are also subjected to the above-described radial movement. For this reason, the operation of opening the movable body middle portion 1425 is executed. In addition, when the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are rotated as described above, the decorative portions 1425a1 to 1425a6 of the outer decorative portion 1425a are rotated as described above. Further, in accordance with the rotational movement, the rotation operation of the inner decoration portion 1425b and the inner decoration portion 1425c is executed. For this reason, the rotating operation of the movable body middle portion 1425 is executed. In addition, the rear circular plate 1425f with holes is formed of a transparent resin in order to transmit the light of the LED mounted on the LED substrate 1415, but is not limited thereto.

  In this embodiment, when the guide rods provided in the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are guided and moved by the corresponding long holes provided in the rear circular plate 1425f with holes, the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d1 are moved. Each guide rod provided at 1425d6 has a configuration in which almost no force acts on the front circular plate 1425e with holes. For this reason, when the rotating shaft of the motor 1411 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed later, an operation of opening a part of the movable body middle portion 1425 first (an operation in which the decorative portions 1425a1 to 1425a6 move radially) is performed. After the operation is completed and the operation of opening a part of the movable body middle portion 1425 is completed, a clockwise rotation operation as viewed from the front of the movable body middle portion 1425 (the rotational movement of the outer decoration portion 1425a, the inner decoration portion 1425b, and the inner decoration portion 1425c). Is not limited to this. For example, when the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are guided and moved by the corresponding long holes provided in the rear circular plate 1425f with holes, the guide rods of the support portions 1425d1 to 1425d6 are A structure in which a large force acts on the front circular plate 1425e with holes (for example, six long holes having a predetermined length are provided in a spiral shape from the center of the circle to the outer periphery, each at 60 ° intervals. It may be the configuration). In this case, the opening operation and the rotation operation of the movable body middle portion 1425 are performed simultaneously. In addition, after the operation of opening a part of the movable body middle part 1425 is completed (or during the operation), a part of the movable body middle part 1425 is closed by rotating the rotating shaft of the motor 1411 clockwise as viewed from the rear. The operation can be executed. Further, by rotating the rotating shaft of the motor 1411 clockwise as viewed from the rear, the movable body middle portion 1425 is rotated counterclockwise as viewed from the front. Further, by controlling the number of rotations of the rotating shaft of the motor 1411, it is possible to execute only the operation of opening a part of the movable body middle portion 1425.

  Next, the remaining configuration of the lower right side movable body support unit 1450 will be described with reference to FIG. The motor 1462 is a driving source for executing the movement operation of the lower right side movable body 1401 and the posture change operation of the movable body 1403 of the lower right side movable body 1401. The motor 1462 is fixed to the rear wall surface of the middle base portion 1460 with screws so that a pulley spur gear 1458c (see FIG. 30) fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor is positioned in front of the motor. The middle base portion 1460 has a through hole through which the rotation shaft of the motor 1462 passes. In this embodiment, the motor 1462 is a stepping motor, but is not limited thereto.

The motor 1462 is connected to the drive circuit 516 shown in FIG. 4 and is controlled by the second sub-control unit 500.

  The guide rail 1464 is used to guide the direction of movement of the movable body 1401. The guide rail 1464 has an outer rail 1464a and an inner rail 1464b. The inner rail 1464b is fixed to the inner rail mounting portion 1413c of the movable body support portion 1413 with screws in the vertical direction so that the movable body 1401 can move in the vertical direction. The outer rail 1464a is fixed by screws in the vertical direction at the center of the rear wall surface of the middle base portion 1460 so that the movable body 1401 can move in the vertical direction. A plurality of steel balls (not shown) are arranged on the rail contact surface portions of the inner rail 1464b and the outer rail 1464a so as to reduce friction between the rails and allow the rails to slide smoothly. In addition, the movable body support portion 1413 can operate in the installation direction of the outer rail 1464a fixed to the middle base portion 1460, that is, in the vertical direction, by the configuration of the guide rail 1464. Further, a rail stop portion (not shown) for stopping the inner rail 1464b is provided at the lower end portion of the outer rail 1464a.

  The guide rod 1466 is used because the movable body 1401 can be moved in parallel along the guide rod 1466. It is also used to reduce the moment of force due to the movement of the movable body 1401. The guide bar 1466 is made of an iron bar. Further, the guide rod 1466 is fixed to the rear wall surface of the middle base portion 1460 so as to be parallel to the installation direction of the guide rail 1464 and the vertical direction.

  The helical spring 1468 is used to support the upward movement of the movable body 1401. In this embodiment, the helical spring 1468 is a compression spring. The helical spring 1468 is attached to the guide rod 1466 so as to be wound around the guide rod 1466. The spring pressing portion 1470 is slidable by the guide rod 1466, and is provided on the guide rod 1466 so as to press the helical spring 1468 from above the helical spring 1468. In addition, a guide rod slide portion 1413d of the movable body support portion 1413 is provided on the guide rod 1466 above the spring pressing portion 1470. With this configuration, when the movable body 1401 is positioned below, the helical spring 1468 is elastically deformed and compressed. For this reason, the upward movement operation from the initial position (lower end) of the movable body 1401 may be performed smoothly.

  The photosensor 1472 is used to detect the initial position of the movable body 1401. The photosensor 1472 is included in the various movable body sensors 430 shown in FIG. 4, and is connected to the sensor circuit 428 shown in FIG. The photosensor 1472 includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and receives light emitted from the light emitting unit by the light receiving unit. In the photosensor 1472, the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion face each other in the front-rear direction, and have a U-shape (a shape in which the left side is open) when viewed from the right side. Further, when the movable body 1401 is located at the initial position, the movable body support portion 1413 is fixed to the front wall surface of the rear base portion 1474 with screws so that the lower end portion of the movable body support portion 1413 is located between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion. .

  Next, the movement operation of the movable body 1201 of the upper right side accessory 1200 and the rotation operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 of the movable body 1201 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 31A is a schematic front view of the upper right side accessory 1200 in a state where the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position, as viewed from the front. FIG. 31A is a schematic rear view of the upper right side accessory 1200 in the state shown in FIG. FIG. 31B is a schematic front view of the upper right side accessory 1200 with the movable body 1201 positioned at the target position as viewed from the front. FIG. 31B shows a state immediately before the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 of the movable body 1201 is executed. FIG. 31B 'is a schematic rear view of the upper right side accessory 1200 in the state shown in FIG. FIG. 31C is a schematic front view of the upper right side accessory 1200 in a state after the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is executed after the movable body 1201 reaches the target position, as viewed from the front. FIG. 31C 'is a schematic rear view of the upper right side accessory 1200 in the state shown in FIG.

  FIG. 31A shows a state where the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position. Further, the rotating operation of the movable body 1203 is not executed. In addition, the movable body 1201 can perform an operation of moving from the initial position to the target position and an operation of moving from the target position to the initial position. In the range where the movable body 1201 can move, the upper end position is the initial position of the movable body 1201 and the lower end position is the target position of the movable body 1201.

  Next, the movement operation from the state where the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position will be described with reference to FIG. The base portion 1254 is provided with two through-holes that are inclined in a substantially straight line from the upper left to the lower right in parallel at a predetermined interval. The right hole when viewed from the rear is a guide hole 1254a, and the left hole when viewed from the rear is a guide hole 1254b. In the guide hole portion 1254a, a connecting portion 1215a fixed to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209 of the rear cover portion of the movable body 1201 is arranged to be rollable (or slidable). . Further, in the guide hole portion 1254b, a connecting portion 1215b and a connecting portion 1215c fixed to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209 are arranged to be rollable (or slidable). Further, since the base portion 1254 is fixed to the unit main body 822 of the accessory unit 820 with screws, the guide hole portion 1254a and the guide hole portion 1254b are fixed and do not move. For this reason, the movable body 1201 is guided by the guide hole 1254a and the guide hole 1254b and can be moved in parallel.

  The power transmission mechanism 1256 (1256a to 1256c) has a mechanism for transmitting the rotational force of the rotating shaft of the motor 1260 to the connecting portion 1215d fixed to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209. The spur gear 1256b is rotated by the rotation of the rotating shaft of the motor 1260, the spur gear 1256a is rotated by rotating the spur gear 1256b, and the spur gear 1256c is rotated by rotating the spur gear 1256a. The holed spur gear 1256c mainly has a force acting hole portion 1256c1, a force acting hole portion 1256c2 with a relief hole, and a spur gear 1256c3. When the movable body 1201 is in the initial position, the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with a relief hole has a long hole having a “ku” shape of a hiragana when viewed from the rear, and is approximately 45 ° counterclockwise when viewed from the rear. It is rotating around. A long hole (hereinafter also referred to as a force acting hole) in the “C” shape extends in the direction of the rotation axis of the spur gear 1256 c 3, and a long hole ( Hereinafter, it may be referred to as a relief hole.) Extends in the clockwise circumferential direction when viewed from the rear of the spur gear 1256c3. In addition, the force acting hole portion 1256c2 with the escape hole has a long hole having a “h” shape of a hiragana when viewed from the rear when the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position, and is rotated about 180 °. . The long hole in the shape of a “height” is formed following the movement trajectory of the connecting portion 1215e. When the rotation shaft of the motor 1260 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the rear, the holed spur gear 1256c rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the rear. In this case, the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with the relief hole rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the center with the rotation axis of the spur gear 1256c3 as the center. Further, the holed spur gear 1256c is shaped so that the holed spur gear 1256c is always hidden by the movable body 1201 even if the movable body 1201 is moved by the rotation of the holed spur gear 1256c, so that it is difficult to see from the player side. It is.

A connecting portion 1215d fixed to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209 is arranged to be rollable (or slidable) in the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with a relief hole. In a state where the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position, the connecting portion 1215d contacts the upper or lower wall surface of the force acting hole of the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with the escape hole (the connecting portion 1215d is the force acting hole portion with the relief hole. It does not contact the left and right wall surfaces of 1256c1.) For this reason, when the spur gear 1256c with a hole rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the rear, the upper wall surface of the force acting hole of the force acting hole 1256c1 with the escape hole (state where the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position) is connected to the connecting part 1215d. , The force due to the counterclockwise rotation as viewed from the rear (from the wall surface above the connecting portion 1215d) acts in the tangential direction of the locus of movement of the contact surface between the connecting portion 1215d and the escape hole-attached force acting hole portion 1256c1. Further, the connecting portion 1215d is fixed to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209 that is the same as the connecting portions 1215a to 1215c. For this reason, when the said force acts on the connection part 1215d, the connection parts 1215a-1215d will move.

  In a state where the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position, the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with escape hole is located substantially in the horizontal left direction when viewed from the rear of the rotation shaft of the spur gear 1256c3 of the spur gear 1256c with hole. For this reason, when the spur gear 1256c3 rotates about 45 ° counterclockwise as viewed from the state in which the movable body 1201 is positioned at the initial position, the connecting portion 1215d can move downward. . Further, when the spur gear 1256c3 rotates about 90 ° counterclockwise as viewed from the state in which the movable body 1201 is located at the initial position, the connecting portion is formed by the force acting hole of the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with a relief hole. 1215d can be moved rightward when viewed from the rear. That is, when the movable body 1201 moves from the initial position to the target position, the connecting portion 1215d can be moved in a substantially lower right direction when viewed from the back by the spur gear 1256c with a hole.

  Further, the force acting hole portion 1256c2 with the relief hole is a connecting portion where the force due to the rotation of the spur gear 1256c with the hole is arranged in the force acting hole portion 1256c2 with the relief hole when the movable body 1201 moves from the initial position to the position immediately before the target position. The above-mentioned “heavy” shaped long hole is formed so as not to be transmitted to 1215e. The connecting portion 1215e is fixed to a spur gear 1211b with a guide rod fixed to the rear wall surface of the base portion 1254. For this reason, when the movable body 1201 moves from the initial position to a position immediately before the target position, the connecting portion 1215e moves with the movement of the connecting portions 1215a to 1215d.

  FIG. 31B shows a state where the movable body 1201 has moved to the target position. The lower end position is set as the target position of the movable body 1201 within the range in which the movable body 1201 can move. FIG. 31B shows a state immediately before the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 of the movable body 1201 is executed.

  Next, the moving operation of the movable body 1201 and the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 of the movable body 1201 will be described with reference to FIG. In a state where the movable body 1201 is located at the target position, the connecting portion 1215c is stopped by hitting the lower end wall surface of the guide hole portion 1254b of the base portion 1254. Similarly, the connecting portion 1215a (not shown) stops by hitting the lower end (not shown) of the guide hole portion 1254a of the base portion 1254. For this reason, even if the rotating shaft of the motor 1260 rotates counterclockwise when viewed later, the movable body 1201 cannot move.

  Further, in a state where the movable body 1201 is located at the target position, the force acting hole portion 1256c1 with the relief hole is shaped like a “ku” so that the force due to the counterclockwise rotation viewed from the rear of the holed spur gear 1256c is not transmitted to the connecting portion 1215d. A long hole (escape hole) portion in the upper half of the shape is provided. For this reason, from the state in which the movable body 1201 is located at the target position, the spur gear 1211b with guide rod can be further rotated counterclockwise as viewed from the rear. Further, in the state where the movable body 1201 is located at the target position, the force acting hole portion 1256c2 with the escape hole has a “he” shape so that the force due to the counterclockwise rotation seen from the rear of the holed spur gear 1256c is transmitted to the connecting portion 1215e. A wall surface at one end of the shape (a wall surface with which the connecting portion 1215e contacts) is provided. For this reason, by rotating the motor 1260 counterclockwise as viewed from the state in which the movable body 1201 is positioned at the target position, a rotational force acts counterclockwise when viewed from the rear. Will do. The connecting portion 1215e is fixed to a spur gear 1211b with a guide rod that can rotate on the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209. For this reason, by rotating the motor 1260 counterclockwise when viewed from the state in which the movable body 1201 is positioned at the target position, the spur gear 1211b with guide rod rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the rear. Become. Further, the spur gear 1211b with guide rod rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the rear, so that the spur gear 1211a rotates clockwise when viewed from the rear, and the spur gear 1211c with stopper function portion is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the rear. Will rotate. In addition, a shaft 1211d (see FIG. 29) is fixed to the rotation shaft of the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion, and the rotation of the shaft 1211d causes the movable decorative portion 1203 to rotate clockwise as viewed from the front.

  FIG. 31C shows a state after the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is executed after the movable body 1201 reaches the target position. The movable decorative portion 1203 is rotated about 180 ° clockwise from the state shown in FIG.

  FIG. 31 (c ′) shows that the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion is about 180 ° as viewed from the rear, as the motor 1260 rotates counterclockwise by a predetermined angle as viewed from the rear in FIG. 31 (b ′). It shows a state rotated counterclockwise. Further, the connecting portion 1215d fixed to the movable body rear cover portion 1209 hits the end wall surface of the upper hole portion of the upper half of the “く” -shaped shape of the force acting hole portion 1256c1 of the escape hole with the hole spur gear 1256c. It has stopped. For this reason, the holed spur gear 1256c cannot rotate counterclockwise from this state when viewed from the rear. For this reason, even if the motor 1260 continues to be driven to rotate counterclockwise as viewed later, the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion cannot rotate, so that the movable decorative portion 1203 maintains the posture after the rotation operation is performed. Is done.

  Further, the rotational speed of the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion of the power transmission mechanism 1211 of the present embodiment is increased compared to the rotational speed of the spur gear 1256a fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 1260. The torque of the stopper function portion-equipped spur gear 1211c decreases in inverse proportion to the increase in rotational speed. For this reason, the decoration part 1203 is fixed to the shaft 1211d so as to be rotatable with a relatively small torque. On the other hand, since the rotational speed of the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion has been increased, the movable decorative portion 1203 can be used even if the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion is slightly rotated or swayed by a gap (backlash) between the gears. May rotate or shake, making it difficult to maintain posture. For this reason, a posture holding portion 1213 that holds the posture of the movable decorative portion 1203 is provided. The posture holding unit 1213 is used to maintain the posture before execution of the rotation operation before the rotation operation of the decoration unit 1203, and after the rotation operation of the decoration unit 1203 is executed, the posture holding unit 1213 performs the rotation operation. Used to maintain posture after execution.

  Next, the posture holding part 1213 shown in FIGS. 29 and 31 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 32 shows a state in which the posture holding portion 1213 is installed on the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209. In addition, the state before the rotation operation of the decoration unit 1203 is executed and the posture before the rotation operation is executed is shown.

  The first holding part 1213a and the second holding part 1213b are symmetrical with respect to a straight line passing through the rotation axis of the spur gear 1211a and the rotation axis of the spur gear 1211c2, and have a substantially arc shape. Further, the fulcrum 1213a1 at one end of the substantially arc shape of the first holding part 1213a is a fulcrum for rotation in a plane parallel to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover part 1209. The rear wall is rotatably screwed. Similarly, the movable body rear cover so that the fulcrum 1213b1 at one end of the substantially arc shape of the second holding portion 1213b becomes a fulcrum of rotation in a plane parallel to the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1209. A screw is rotatably attached to the rear wall surface of the portion 1209. Further, a positioning wall (not shown) is provided, one at the lower right when viewed from the rear of the spring locking portion 1213a2 and one at the upper left when viewed from the rear of the spring locking portion 1213b2. Further, a force is applied to the spring locking portion 1213a2 at the other end of the first holding portion 1213a in the contraction direction of the helical spring 1213c. Similarly, the spring engaging portion 1213b2 at the other end of the second holding portion 1213b has a force acting in the contracting direction of the helical spring 1213c. For this reason, since the other end of the first holding part 1213a and the other end of the second holding part 1213b are pressed against each positioning wall by a predetermined elastic force of the helical spring 1213c, the first holding part 1213a and the second holding portion 1213b are kept stationary without rotating.

  In addition, a holding portion 1213a3 that prevents the stopper function portion 1211c1 of the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function portion from easily moving is provided inside the substantially arc shape of the first holding portion 1213a. The holding portion 1213a3 has a substantially semicircular arc-shaped depression that matches the substantially semi-cylindrical outer surface of the stopper function portion 1211c1. Further, before the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is executed, the stopper function portion 1211c1 is positioned on the holding portion 1213a3. For this reason, rotation of the spur gear 1211c with a stopper function part is suppressed by the elastic force of the helical spring 1213c. For this reason, before the rotation operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is performed, the posture before the rotation operation is performed is maintained.

  Similarly, after the rotation operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is performed, the stopper function portion 1211c1 is positioned at the holding portion 1213b3 inside the substantially arc shape of the second holding portion 1213b. For this reason, the movement of the stopper function part 1211c1 is restricted by the elastic force of the helical spring 1213c, and the rotation of the spur gear 1211c with the stopper function part is suppressed. For this reason, after the rotation operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is performed, the posture after the rotation operation is performed is maintained.

  Moreover, although the upper right side accessory 1200 by a present Example makes the lower end position of the movement range of the upper right side movable body 1201 the target position, it is not restricted to this. By arbitrarily setting the rotation angle of the rotation shaft of the motor 1260, the target position of the upper right side movable body 1201 may be arbitrarily set, or the rotational operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 of the upper right side movable body 1201 may be performed. Whether to execute or not may be determined. For example, the target position of the upper right side movable body 1201 may be set according to the reliability of the big hit in the reach production, or according to the player's advantage in various big hit games, small hit games, etc. The target position of the upper right side movable body 1201 may be set. Also, it may be determined whether or not the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is executed in correspondence with the reliability of the big hit in the reach production, and it corresponds to the player's advantage in various big hit games or small hit games In this case, it may be determined whether or not the rotation operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 is performed. Further, the operation of the upper right side movable body 1201 of the upper right side accessory 1200 may be controlled to be symmetrical with the operation of the upper left side movable body 1301 of the upper left side accessory 1300, or the upper left You may control so that it may not become left-right symmetric with the operation | movement of the upper left side movable body 1301 of the side accessory 1300. FIG.

  Further, according to the upper right side accessory 1200 according to the present embodiment, there may be a case where the movement operation of the movable body 1201 and the rotation operation of the movable decorative portion 1203 of the movable body 1201 can be continuously performed by one drive source. is there. Further, according to the upper right side accessory 1200 according to the present embodiment, the rotation of the movable decorative portion 1203 may be able to be accelerated by the gear used for the rotating operation of the movable decorative portion 1203. For this reason, since the rotational speed of the rotational motion of the movable decorative portion 1203 can be increased compared to the moving motion speed of the movable body 1201, these operations are performed in series, which gives the player an unexpectedness. There are cases where it is possible. Further, the upper right side accessory 1200 of this embodiment has a posture holding portion that holds the posture of the movable decorative portion 1203. For this reason, even if the movable body is accelerated by the gear ratio, there is a case where it is possible to reliably control the movement of the movable body while maintaining the posture of the movable body.

  In addition, the movable body 1201 in the present embodiment can operate from the upper right direction to the lower left direction within a plane parallel to the game board 200, but is not limited thereto. For example, the movable body 1201 can be moved in various directions by installing the upper right side movable body support unit 1250 of the upper right side accessory 1200 in various directions. . Further, the installation direction of the upper right side movable body support unit 1250 can be arbitrarily changed by using another driving means (for example, a motor, a gear, etc.) for the upper right side movable body support unit 1250.

  Next, operation | movement of the movable body 1401 of the lower right side accessory 1400 of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. 33 and FIG.

  33 (a) to 33 (c) are schematic diagrams of the right side surface of the lower right side accessory 1400 showing the state in which the movable body 1401 moves from the initial position to the target position in a stepwise manner. FIG. 33A shows a state where the movable body 1401 is located at the initial position. FIG. 33B shows a state where the movable body 1401 has moved upward by a predetermined distance from the initial position. FIG. 33C shows a state where the movable body 1403 has moved upward from the position of FIG. 33B and has reached the target position. The movable body 1401 of this embodiment includes a movable body (movable body front portion) 1403, a movable body (movable body rear portion) 1405, and a movable body (movable body middle portion) 1425. Further, the movable body 1401 moves in the vertical direction by driving a motor 1462 shown in FIG.

  In the movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 33A, the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 is positioned near the lower end of the guide portion 1452a of the guide portion 1452. The movable body 1403 has a posture such that a substantially arc-shaped arc is convex downward.

  The movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 33B is in a state where the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 is positioned near the upper end of the guide portion 1452a of the guide portion 1452. Further, since the guide portion 1452a is not inclined in the front-rear direction, the guide bar-equipped rack 1407e does not move in the front-rear direction in the section of the guide portion 1452a. For this reason, the pinion 1407d fixed to the shaft 1407b (see FIG. 30) serving as a rotation shaft for changing the posture of the movable body 1403 does not rotate. For this reason, the movable body 1403 is maintained in such a posture that a substantially circular arc is convex downward.

  The movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 33C is in a state where the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 is positioned near the upper end of the guide portion 1452b of the guide portion 1452. Further, since the guide portion 1452b is inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction, the guide bar-equipped rack 1407e moves forward in the section of the guide portion 1452b. For this reason, the pinion 1407d rotates by a predetermined angle clockwise as viewed from the right in proportion to the forward movement amount of the rack 1407e with guide rod. For this reason, the movable body 1403 rotates around the axis 1407b (see FIG. 30) by a predetermined angle clockwise as viewed from the right. That is, when the movable body 1403 is guided in the section of the guide portion 1452b, the moving operation in the vertical direction and the rotating operation in which the posture gradually changes are executed simultaneously. In addition, since the guide portion 1452a and the guide portion 1452b are connected, the operation of the movable body 1403 in a state where the movable body 1403 is guided to the guide portion 1452a and the movable body 1403 in a state where the movable body 1403 is guided to the guide portion 1452b. These operations are executed continuously. In addition, the rotational speed and the rotational angle of the movable body 1403 can be changed by changing the inclination angle of the guiding portion 1452b. For example, when the inclination angle of the guiding portion 1452b is reduced, the rotation speed of the movable body 1403 is decreased, and the rotation angle is decreased. Conversely, when the inclination angle of the guiding portion 1452b is increased, the rotation speed of the movable body 1403 is increased. The rotation angle increases. For this reason, if the guide part 1452a is provided relatively long and the inclination angle of the guide part 1452b is increased, the posture of the movable body 1403 changes suddenly immediately before the target position. Note that the rotation speed and rotation angle of the movable body 1403 can be changed by changing the number of teeth of the pinion 1407d. For example, when the number of teeth of the pinion 1407d is increased, the rotation speed of the movable body 1403 is decreased and the rotation angle is also decreased. Further, when the number of teeth of the pinion 1407d is reduced, the rotation speed of the movable body 1403 is increased and the rotation angle is increased.

  Further, the movement of the movable body 1401 from the target position (FIG. 33 (c)) to the initial position (FIG. 33 (a)) is opposite to the upward movement of the movable body 1401 (in this embodiment, the front This is executed by rotating the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 shown in FIG. The initial position of the movable body 1401 is set using the photosensor 1472 shown in FIG. In addition, the initial position of the movable body 1401 according to the present embodiment is set as the initial position near the lower end of the area where the movable body 1401 can move and as the target position near the upper end of the area where the movable body 1401 can move, but is not limited thereto. . For example, the vicinity of the upper end of the area where the movable body 1401 can move may be set as the initial position, and the vicinity of the lower end of the area where the movable body 1401 can move may be set as the target position.

  Further, the guiding portion 1452 used in this embodiment includes a guiding portion 1452a having a groove extending linearly in the vertical vertical direction and a guiding portion having a groove extending linearly inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction. 1452b, but is not limited to this. For example, even if the guiding portion 1452 is configured only by the guiding portion 1452b having a groove extending in a straight line inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction, the movable body 1403 performs the vertical movement operation and the posture. The changing operation is executed. In addition to the guiding portion 1452a and the guiding portion 1452b, the guiding portion 1452 may be configured to include another guiding portion, or may be configured to further include a plurality of guiding portions.

  FIGS. 34A to 34D are perspective views of the lower right side accessory 1400 showing the state of movement of the movable body 1401 from the initial position to the target position in a stepwise manner from the front upper right to the rear lower left. .

  FIG. 34A shows a state in which the movable body 1401 is located at the initial position. In this case, the posture (posture) of the movable body 1403 is such that the front decoration part 1403a that constitutes one outer surface of the movable body 1403 faces forward, and the rear surface that constitutes the other outer surface of the movable body 1403. This is a state in which the decoration part 1403b faces back. For this reason, the front decoration part 1403a is in a visible state, and the rear decoration part 1403b, which is the other outer surface of the movable body 1403, is difficult to see. Further, since at least a part of the movable body 1403 shields at least a part of the front of the movable body 1405, it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the entire movable body 1405. In this embodiment, the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810 shown in FIGS. 3 and 10 are located in front of the movable body 1401. For this reason, when the posture of the movable body 1403 changes, the movable body 1403 interferes with at least a part of the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810. Therefore, in a state where the movable body 1403 is located at the initial position, the movable body 1403 has a posture that does not interfere with at least a part of the rail decoration member 800 (for example, the front stage 244 portion) or the transparent game board 810. Maintained. In this embodiment, the player can visually recognize at least a part of the movable body 1401 through the transparent game board, but the movable body 1401 may be in a state in which it is difficult to visually recognize.

  FIG. 34B shows a state in which the movable body 1401 is translated upward by a predetermined distance from the initial position. The upward movement of the movable body 1401 is executed by the rotation of a belt 1458a hung on a pulley-equipped spur gear 1458c and a pulley 1458d. Further, the movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 34B is in a state where the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 is positioned near the upper end of the guide portion 1452a of the guide portion 1452. In this case, since the movable body 1403 is in a state before the posture changes, the posture in which the movable body 1403 is located at the initial position is maintained. In the present embodiment, in the section where the guiding portion 1452a is provided, the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810 shown in FIGS. 3 and 10 are positioned in front of the movable body 1401. For this reason, when the posture of the movable body 1403 changes, the movable body 1403 interferes with at least a part of the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810. Therefore, in a state where the movable body 1403 is guided to the guiding portion 1452a, the movable body 1403 is maintained in a posture that does not interfere with at least a part of the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810.

  FIG. 34C shows a state in which the movable body 1401 has been translated upward by a predetermined distance from the position of the movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. The upward movement of the movable body 1401 is executed by the rotation of a belt 1458a hung on a pulley-equipped spur gear 1458c and a pulley 1458d. Also, the movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 34C is in a state where the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 is positioned at the middle between the upper end and the lower end of the guide portion 1452b of the guide portion 1452. In this case, the movable body 1403 rotates about 90 ° clockwise as viewed from the right, with the shaft 1407a and the shaft 1407b of the posture changing mechanism 1407 shown in FIG. Therefore, the front decoration part 1403a constituting one outer surface of the movable body 1403 is facing upward, and the rear decoration part 1403b constituting the other outer surface of the movable body 1403 is facing downward. It is. Further, due to the change in the posture of the movable body 1403, the region where the movable body 1405 can be visually recognized is gradually increased. Further, due to the change in the posture of the movable body 1403, at least a part of the movable body 1403 shields at least a part of the front of the movable body 1425, and at least a part of the movable body 1425 is difficult to visually recognize. Further, in this embodiment, the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810 shown in FIGS. 3 and 10 are not positioned in front of the movable body 1401 in the section where the guide portion 1452b is provided. Therefore, even if the posture of the movable body 1403 changes, the movable body 1403 and at least a part of the rail decoration member 800 and the transparent game board 810 do not interfere with each other.

  FIG. 34D shows a state in which the movable body 1401 moves upward by a predetermined distance from the position of the movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 34C and reaches the target position. The upward movement of the movable body 1401 is executed by the rotation of a belt 1458a hung on a pulley-equipped spur gear 1458c and a pulley 1458d. Further, the movable body 1401 in the state shown in FIG. 34D is in a state where the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 is positioned near the upper end of the guide portion 1452b of the guide portion 1452. In this case, the movable body 1403 rotates about 180 ° clockwise as viewed from the right, with the shaft 1407a and the shaft 1407b of the posture changing mechanism 1407 shown in FIG. For this reason, the front decoration part 1403a constituting one outer surface of the movable body 1403 faces rearward, and the rear decoration part 1403b constituting the other outer surface of the movable body 1403 faces frontward. It is. Therefore, a portion where it is difficult to visually recognize the movable body 1403 before the change in the posture of the movable body 1403 due to the change in the posture of the movable body 1403 is visible after the change in the posture of the movable body 1403. In addition, when the movable body 1403 changes its posture, at least a part of the movable body 1403 is not in front of the movable body 1405 or the movable body 1425.

  FIG. 34D shows a state where an operation for opening a part of the movable body 1425 and an operation for rotating the movable body 1425 are performed. In the present embodiment, the above-described operation of the movable body 1425 is started from the state where the movable body 1401 has reached the target position, but is not limited thereto. For example, the above-described operation of the movable body 1425 may be started from the state where the movable body 1401 is located at the initial position, or the above-described operation of the movable body 1425 is performed in a state where the movable body 1403 is guided to the guide portion 1452a. The operation may be started, or the above-described operation of the movable body 1425 may be started in accordance with the start of the posture change operation of the movable body 1403. In addition, the above-described operation of the movable body 1425 may be started during the operation of changing the posture of the movable body 1403 (in a state where the movable body 1403 is guided to the guide portion 1452b). In addition, the above-described operation of the movable body 1425 may be executed regardless of the movement operation of the movable body 1401, but is not limited thereto.

  FIG. 35 shows a state in which the movable body 1401 of the lower right side accessory 1400 is viewed from the lower left rear to the upper right rear. However, description of the power transmission mechanism cover portion 1421 is omitted for ease of explanation.

  The movable body middle portion 1425 is located between the movable body front portion 1403 and the movable body rear portion 1405 in the position coordinates in the front-rear direction. Further, a motor 1411 serving as a drive source for executing the above-described operation of the movable body middle portion 1425 is attached to the motor cover portion 1409 with a guide portion. Further, when the rotation shaft of the motor 1411 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the rear, the spur gear 1419a attached to the rear wall surface of the LED board cover portion 1417 also matches the rotation shaft of the motor 1411 when viewed from the rear. Rotate around. Further, due to the rotation of the spur gear 1419a, the spur gear 1419b rotates clockwise as viewed from the rear. Further, due to the rotation of the spur gear 1419b, the spur gear 1419c is decelerated to a predetermined rotational speed and rotates counterclockwise as viewed later, and the above-described operation of the movable body middle portion 1425 is executed. Become. Thus, the movable body middle portion 1425 of this embodiment is different from the power source (motor 1462) used for the moving operation of the movable body 1401 and the operation of changing the posture of the movable body front portion 1403. 1411) is used, but is not limited thereto. For example, a structure may be employed in which a spur gear 1419a is rotated by moving the movable body 1401 in the vertical direction by providing a toothed tooth that is fixed at a predetermined position and does not move. In this case, the above-described operation of the movable body middle portion 1425 is performed by the power source (motor 1462) used for the movement operation of the movable body 1401 and the operation of changing the posture of the movable body front portion 1403.

  Next, referring to FIGS. 36A to 36F, a guiding portion 1452 for changing the posture of the movable body 1403 of the lower right side accessory 1400 of the present embodiment (see FIGS. 29, 33, etc.). A modified example will be described.

  FIGS. 36A to 36F are schematic views of the shape of the guiding portion 1452 as viewed from the right side. Moreover, the guide part 1452 shown to Fig.36 (a)-(f) has the groove | channel similar to the groove | channel shown in FIG.

  The guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36 (a) has a guiding portion a1 having a groove extending linearly in the vertical vertical direction and a guiding portion a1 having a linearly extending groove inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction. a2 is connected. For this reason, the roller 1407f of the posture changing mechanism 1407 shown in FIG. 30 moves the guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36A upward, so that the movable body 1403 changes its posture simultaneously with the start of movement from the initial position. Thus, the upward movement is executed with the posture in which the posture change is completed.

  The guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36 (b) has a guiding portion b2 having a groove extending linearly inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction to a guiding portion b1 having a groove extending linearly in the vertical vertical direction. Furthermore, the guide part b3 having a groove extending linearly in the vertical vertical direction is connected to the guide part b2. For this reason, when the roller 1407f is moving upward in the guide portion b1, the movable body 1403 is moved upward with the posture of the initial position. In addition, when the roller 1407f is moving upward in the guide portion b2, the movable body 1403 is simultaneously operated to change its posture and move upward. In addition, when the roller 1407f is moving upward in the guide portion b3, the movable body 1403 is moved upward with the posture after the change in posture.

  In the guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36C, a guiding portion c2 having a substantially arc-shaped groove that curves sharply in the front-up direction is connected to a guiding portion c1 having a linearly extending groove in the vertical vertical direction. . For this reason, when the roller 1407f is moving upward in the guide part c2, the upward moving distance of the movable body 1403 is relatively small. For this reason, when the roller 1407f moves the guide part c1 and the guide part c2, the posture of the movable body 1403 changes suddenly immediately before reaching the target position.

  The guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36 (d) includes a guiding portion d1 having a groove extending in a straight line inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 30 °) with respect to the vertical up / down direction in the front upper direction. A guide portion d2 having a groove extending in a straight line inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 45 °) with respect to the vertical vertical direction in the forward and upward direction beyond a predetermined angle of d1 is connected. For this reason, when the roller 1407f moves upward along the guide portion d1, the movable body 1403 moves upward while the posture changes relatively slowly. In addition, when the roller 1407f moves upward in the guide portion d2, the movable body 1403 changes its position relatively quickly and moves upward.

  The guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36 (e) is linearly inclined to the guiding portion e1 having a groove extending in a straight line inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction. The guide part e2 having an extended groove is connected. For this reason, when the roller 1407f moves upward along the guiding portion e1, the movable body 1403 performs an operation of changing the posture and an upward movement at the same time. In addition, when the roller 1407f moves upward along the guiding portion e2, the movable body 1403 moves upward simultaneously with the execution of the posture change operation in which the posture after the posture change returns to the posture at the initial position. Will do. Moreover, the structure which further connects the guidance | induction part e1 to the upper part of the guidance | induction part e2 of the guidance | induction part 1452 shown in FIG.36 (e) may be sufficient.

  A guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36 (f) has a guiding portion f2 having a groove extending linearly in the vertical vertical direction and a guiding portion f3 having a groove extending linearly inclined at a predetermined angle in the front upper direction. Are connected to the guide part f1 having a groove extending linearly in the vertical vertical direction. The guide part f3 is located in front of the guide part f2. In addition, a wall f4 is provided that can rotate around a place where the front wall surface of the guide portion f2 and the rear wall surface of the guide portion f3 meet. Therefore, by rotating the wall f4 clockwise as viewed from the right and holding it in a predetermined position, the wall f4 functions as a front wall surface of the guide portion f2, and counterclockwise when viewed from the right. By rotating and holding at a predetermined position, the wall f4 functions as a rear wall surface of the guiding portion f3. For this reason, when the wall f4 functions as the front wall surface of the guide part f2, the roller 1407f moves from the guide part f1 to the guide part f2 (hereinafter referred to as the path 1). On the other hand, when the wall f4 functions as the rear wall surface of the guide part f3, the roller 1407f moves from the guide part f1 to the guide part f3 (hereinafter referred to as the path 2). For this reason, when the roller 1407f moves along the path 1, the posture change operation of the movable body 1403 is not executed, and when the roller 1407f moves along the path 2, the posture change operation of the movable body 1403 is executed. It will be. For this reason, by controlling the rotation of the wall f4, it is possible to determine whether or not the posture change operation of the movable body 1403 is performed.

  In addition, the lower right side accessory 1400 of the present embodiment includes guide parts (guide parts a1 to f3) of the guide part 1452 shown in FIGS. Can be combined in any way. For example, the lower part of the guide part 1452b shown in FIG. 29 can be connected to the upper part of the guide part 1452 shown in FIG. Further, the lower portion of the guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36 (e) can be connected to the upper portion of the guiding portion 1452a shown in FIG. In these cases, the movable body 1403 is guided to the guiding portion 1452 shown in FIG. 36E, so that the movable body 1403 changes from the posture at the initial position and returns to the posture at the initial position.

  Moreover, although the movable body 1401 in a present Example can operate | move up and down, it is not restricted to this. For example, the movable body 1401 can be moved in various directions by installing the lower right side movable body support unit 1450 of the lower right side accessory 1400 in various directions. .

The movable body upper decorative portion 1603d is fixed to the upper part of the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover portion 1603b with screws.

  Next, the circular display portion 1601a2 will be described. The circular film 1605 is used as a film-shaped circular display unit that performs a rotation operation. The circular film 1605 is attached to the front surface of the circular object 1607. The circular object 1607 is a transparent resin disk, and has a fixing hole for fixing one end of the shaft 1615d at the center of the circle. For this reason, the circular object 1607 and the shaft 1615d are fixed, and the circular object 1607 rotates when the shaft 1615d rotates. In the present embodiment, the control is performed so that the circular object 1607 rotates after the central lower movable body 1601 reaches a target position to be described later, but is not limited thereto. For example, the circular object 1607 may be controlled to rotate from a state in which the central lower movable body 1601 is located at an initial position described later, or the central lower movable body 1601 may be arbitrarily set between the initial position and the target position. You may control so that the circular object 1607 may rotate from the state located in the position. Alternatively, the rotation of the circular object 1607 may be stopped after the central lower movable body 1601 reaches the target position.

  The circular object cover portion 1609 is used to accommodate a circular object 1607 to which a circular film 1605 is attached. Further, the circular object cover portion 1609 is fixed to the rear wall surface of the movable body front decoration portion 1603a by screws. In addition, a through hole through which the shaft 1615d passes in the front-rear direction is formed at the center of the circular object cover portion 1609. In addition, the movable body front side decorative portion 1603a, the circular film 1605, the circular object 1607, and the circular object cover portion 1609 have high light transmittance in order to transmit light from an LED (not shown) mounted on the LED substrate 1611.

  The LED substrate 1611 is fixed to the rear wall surface of the circular object cover portion 1609, the rear wall surface of the movable body front side decorative portion 1603a, and the rear wall surface of the circular object cover portion 1609 with screws. An LED (not shown) and a drive circuit (not shown) for lighting the LED are mounted on the mounting surface of the LED substrate 1611. In addition, the LED substrate 1611 has a through hole for passing the shaft 1615d and an opening for securing a space for accommodating the motor 1613 in the front portion 1601a.

  The motor 1613 is a drive source for executing the rotation operation of the circular object 1607. The motor 1613 is fixed to the front wall surface on the lower side of the circular object cover portion 1609 with screws so that the rotation shaft of the motor (side on which the spur gear 1615a is attached) faces rearward. The circular object cover portion 1609 has a through hole through which the rotation shaft of the motor 1613 passes. The motor 1613 is connected to the drive circuit 516 shown in FIG. 4 and is controlled by the second sub-control unit 500. In this embodiment, the motor 1613 is a stepping motor, but is not limited thereto. For example, various motors such as a DC brush motor, a DC brushless motor, an AC motor, an ultrasonic motor, and a servo motor can be used, but are not limited thereto.

  The power transmission mechanism 1615 is a mechanism used to rotate the circular object 1607 by the rotation of the rotation shaft of the motor 1613, and mainly includes a spur gear 1615a, a spur gear 1615b, a spur geared disc 1615c, and a shaft 1615d. doing. The spur gear 1615 a is fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 1613. Further, the spur gear 1615b is installed adjacent to the spur gear 1615a so that the teeth of the spur gear 1615a and the teeth of the spur gear 1615b mesh with each other. Further, the spur gear 1615b is installed adjacent to the spur gear-attached disc 1615c so that the teeth of the spur gear 1615b and the spur gear 1615c1 (not shown) of the spur gear-attached disc 1615c mesh with each other. A shaft 1615d is fixed to the center portion of the spur geared disc 1615c. Further, the spur gear-equipped disc 1615c is formed by integrating a disc 1615c2 having a notch 1615c3 formed in a part of the outer periphery with a spur gear 1615c1 (not shown).

  In this embodiment, the position of the rotation axis of the motor 1613 (position coordinates on a plane parallel to the game board 200) and the position of the rotation axis of the circular object 1607 (position coordinates on a plane parallel to the game board 200) are made different. Therefore, a power transmission mechanism 1615 is used. Thereby, an installation space for the motor 1613 can be arbitrarily provided. Further, in consideration of the center of gravity of the central lower movable body 1601, an installation space for the motor 1613 can be arbitrarily provided. Further, by changing the ratio of the number of teeth of the spur gear 1615a and the number of teeth of the spur gear 1615c1, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft of the motor 1613 can be converted into a predetermined rotational speed to rotate the circular object 1607. In this embodiment, the number of teeth of the spur gear 1615a and the number of teeth of the spur gear 1615c1 are the same. For this reason, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft of the motor 1613 and the rotational speed of the circular object 1607 are approximately the same. Further, since there is a spur gear 1615b between the spur gear 1615a and the spur geared disc 1615c, the rotation direction of the rotating shaft of the motor 1613 and the rotation direction of the circular object 1607 are the same. The power transmission mechanism 1615 is also used to transmit the torque of the rotating shaft of the motor 1613 to the circular object 1607.

  The photo sensor 1617 is used to detect the initial position of the circular object 1607. The photosensor 1617 is included in the various movable body sensors 430 shown in FIG. 4 and is connected to the sensor circuit 428 shown in FIG. The photosensor 1617 includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and has a configuration in which light emitted from the light emitting unit is received by the light receiving unit. In the photosensor 1617, the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion face each other in the front-rear direction, and have a U-shape (a shape in which the lower side is open) when viewed from the right side. Further, the photo sensor 1617 is fixed to the rear wall surface of the circular object cover portion 1609 with screws so that the outer peripheral portion of the spur gear 1615c1 of the spur gear-attached disc 1615c is positioned between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion. When the notch 1615c3 of the disc 1615c2 of the spur gear-equipped disc 1615c is positioned between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion of the photosensor 1617, the light emitted from the light emitting portion is a disc with the spur gear. The 1615c disk 1615c2 is not shielded from light. For this reason, this position is set as the initial position of the circular film 1605.

  Next, the rear part 1601b of the central lower movable body 1601 will be described. The movable body rear cover 1603b is a member related to the vertical movement of the central lower movable body 1601. When the movable body rear side cover portion 1603b moves in the vertical direction, the front portion 1601a screwed to the movable body rear side cover portion 1603b moves in the vertical direction. In addition, the inner rail 1660a of the guide rail 1660 of the movable body support section 1650 is fixed to the center of the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover section 1603b by screws.

  The movable body lower portion 1603c is a member related to the vertical movement of the central lower movable body 1601. The movable body lower portion 1603c has a substantially rectangular guide hole portion 1603c1 (not shown). The guide hole portion 1603c1 penetrates in the left-right direction, and the through hole is formed to be elongated in the front-rear direction. The length of the short side of the guide hole portion 1603c1 is a length obtained by adding a slight margin (clearance) to the diameter of the outer circumference of the roller portion 1658a of the connecting portion 1658. The length of the long side is a length obtained by adding a slight margin to the length of the straight line from the center of the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 to the circumferential end of the roller portion of the connecting portion 1658 through the center of the connecting portion 1658. . In addition, both front and rear ends of the guide hole portion 1603c1 have a semicircular arc shape in accordance with the circumferential portion of the roller portion of the connecting portion 1658. The front end portion of the guide hole portion 1603c1 may function as a restricting portion (or restricting portion) that restricts (or restricts) the central lower movable body 1601 to the initial position, and the target position of the central lower movable body 1601 May function as a mechanical end (details will be described later). In addition, the movable body lower portion 1603c is arranged on the front wall surface of the movable body rear side cover portion 1603b so that the position coordinates in the left and right direction of the guide hole portion 1603c1 and the position coordinates in the left and right direction of the center portion of the central lower movable body 1601 are the same. Fixed to the bottom with screws. In addition, the restricting portion of the present embodiment uses a member having relatively high rigidity (for example, a member made of resin, metal, or ceramic) as a wall, but is not limited thereto. For example, a cushioning member (for example, soft resin, rubber, cotton, cloth, styrene foam, bubble cushioning material) that softens the contact with the mechanical end may function as the restricting portion.

  The movable body lower portion 1603c is formed with a spring locking portion 1603c2 that locks one end of the lower side of the helical spring 1664 at the upper portion of the rear end portion of the guide hole portion 1603c1. In this embodiment, only one spring locking portion is formed on the movable body lower portion 1603c, but a configuration in which a plurality of spring locking portions are formed may be used. Further, a plate-shaped light shielding portion 1603c3 used for detection of the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 is formed on the movable body lower portion 1603c.

  Next, the movable body support unit 1650 for moving the central lower movable body 1601 will be described. The motor 1652 is a drive source for moving the central lower movable body 1601 in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, a stepping motor is used, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  The connecting portion 1658 is used to connect the other end of the crank 1656 and the movable body lower portion 1603c via the guide hole portion 1603c1. The connecting portion 1658 is formed by integrating a substantially cylindrical roller portion 1658a and a substantially annular plate-shaped roller exterior 1658b. The roller exterior 1658b is formed at one end of the roller portion 1658a. The diameter of the outer circumference of the roller outer 1658b is longer than the diameter of the outer circumference of the roller 1658a, and is longer than the length of the short side of the guide hole 1603c1. Further, the diameter of the outer peripheral circle of the roller portion 1658a is shorter than the length of the short side of the guide hole portion 1603c1. For this reason, the connecting portion 1658 is attached to the crank 1656 so that the roller outer portion 1658b is positioned on the right outer side of the guide hole portion 1603c1, and the roller portion 1658a is positioned in the guide hole portion 1603c1, so that the connecting portion 1658 becomes the guide hole portion. 1603c1 is not easily removed. Further, the connecting portion 1658 can roll (or move) in the region of the guide hole portion 1603c1 as the crank 1656 rotates (details will be described later).

  The guide rail 1660 is used to guide the direction of movement of the central lower movable body 1601. The guide rail 1660 includes an inner rail 1660a, an intermediate rail 1660b, and an outer rail 1660c. The inner rail 1660a is fixed to the center of the rear wall surface of the movable body rear cover 1603b with screws in the vertical direction so that the movable body 1601 can move in the vertical direction. The outer rail 1660c is fixed to the upper center of the front wall surface of the base portion 1662 with screws in the vertical direction so that the movable body 1601 can move in the vertical direction. The middle rail 1660b is provided inside the outer rail 1660c so as to be movable along the rail of the outer rail 1660c. An inner rail 1660a is provided inside the middle rail 1660b so as to be movable along the rail of the middle rail 1660b. A plurality of steel balls (not shown) are arranged on the rail contact surfaces of the inner rail 1660a and the middle rail 1660b so that the friction between the rails can be reduced and the rails can slide smoothly. A plurality of steel balls (not shown) are also arranged on the rail contact surface portions of the middle rail 1660b and the outer rail 1660c so as to reduce friction between the rails and allow the rails to slide smoothly. Depending on the configuration of the guide rail 1660, the movable body rear cover portion 1603b can operate in the installation direction of the outer rail 1630c fixed to the base portion 1662, that is, in the vertical direction. Further, a rail stop portion 1660c1 for stopping the middle rail 1660b and the inner rail 1660a is provided at the lower end portion of the outer rail 1660c. Further, the outer rail 1660c may be provided in a direction other than the vertical direction. For example, the rear upper direction may be the front upper direction, or the front lower direction may be the rear upper direction. The outer rail 1660c is a combination of a vertical rail, a rear lower to front upper rail, a front lower to rear upper rail, a front curved upper rail, a rear upper curved rail, or the like. It may be a configuration. In this case, the movable body 1601 can move not only in the vertical direction but also in the front-rear direction.

  The base portion 1662 is used as a support portion that moves the movable body 1601 in the vertical direction. The base portion 1662 has a substantially plate shape, and a spring locking portion 1662a for locking the upper end of the helical spring 1664 is provided on the rear wall upper portion. One end (upper side) of the helical spring 1664 is connected to the spring locking portion 1662a, and the other end (lower side) of the helical spring 1664 is connected to the spring locking portion 1603c2 of the movable body lower portion 1603c. Also, the installation direction of the helical spring 1664 and the installation direction of the guide rail 1630 are the same direction (vertical direction), and the horizontal position coordinate of the installation position of the helical spring 1664 and the horizontal direction of the installation position of the guide rail 1660 are the same. A spring locking portion 1662a of the base portion 1662 and a spring locking portion 1603c2 of the movable body lower portion 1603c are formed so that the position coordinates are the same. With this structure, the movable direction of the central lower movable body 1601 and the extension / contraction direction of the helical spring 1664 are the same. Further, since the horizontal position coordinate of the installation position of the helical spring 1664 and the horizontal position coordinate of the installation position of the guide rail 1660 are the same, a moment of force in the horizontal direction is generated in the central lower movable body 1601. In some cases, the lower central movable body 1601 can be moved efficiently. In this embodiment, only one spring locking portion is formed on the base portion 1662, but a plurality of spring locking portions may be formed.

  In this embodiment, a tension spring is used as the helical spring 1664. When the movable body 1601 is located at the lower end (initial position), the helical spring 1664 is elastically deformed and extended. When the movable body 1601 is located at the upper end (target position), the helical spring 1664 is extended. However, it is not limited to this, but it is in a state in which it has shrunk and is not elastically deformed (details will be described later). For example, even when the movable body 1601 is located at the upper end (target position), the helical spring 1664 may be in a state of being elastically deformed and extended, or the helical spring 1664 is in a state of being elastically deformed and reduced. It may be. In this embodiment, only one helical spring is provided, but a configuration in which a plurality of helical springs are provided may be used. Further, a leaf spring may be used instead of the helical spring 1664, or a flexible member such as rubber may be used. Further, instead of the helical spring 1664, a linear reciprocating solenoid or other linear actuator may be used.

  The photo sensor 1666 is used to detect that the movable body 1601 is located near the initial position (details of the initial position of the movable body 1601 will be described later). The photosensor 1666 is included in the various movable body sensors 430 shown in FIG. 4 and is connected to the sensor circuit 428 shown in FIG. The photosensor 1666 includes a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and has a configuration in which light emitted from the light emitting unit is received by the light receiving unit. The photosensor 1666 has a U-shape (a shape in which the left side is open) when viewed from above with the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion facing in the front-rear direction. Further, the photosensor 1666 is fixed to the lower portion of the front wall surface of the base portion 1662 with screws so that the light shielding portion 1603c3 of the movable body lower portion 1603c is positioned between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion.

  The flexible board 1668 is used to electrically connect the LED board 1611 and the game board lamp drive circuit 530. One end of the flexible board 1668 is connected to the LED board 1611, and the other end of the flexible board 1668 is connected to the game board lamp drive circuit 530 through the base portion 1662.

  Next, operation | movement of the center lower movable body 1601 of the center lower part 1600 is demonstrated using FIG. 38A to 38D are right side views of the central lower accessory 1600 in which the central lower movable body 1601 represents the movement from the initial position to the target position in a stepwise manner. FIG. 38A shows a state where the central lower movable body 1601 is located at the initial position. FIG. 38B shows a state immediately after the central lower movable body 1601 starts moving from the initial position. FIG. 38 (c) shows a state where the central lower movable body 1601 has moved upward from the position of FIG. 38 (b). FIG. 38D shows a state where the central lower movable body 1601 moves further upward from the position of FIG. 38C and reaches the target position. 38, the state where the center of the connecting portion 1658 is directly below the rotation axis of the motor 1652 (the position coordinate in the front-rear direction of the center of the connection portion 1658 and the position coordinate in the front-rear direction of the rotation axis of the motor 1652). The rotation angle of the crank 1656 is defined as 0 °. Further, the direction in which the crank 1656 rotates in the order of upward, rearward, and downward is expressed as clockwise (or clockwise), and the opposite direction is expressed as counterclockwise (or counterclockwise). Further, the clockwise rotation angle of the crank 1656 is represented by a negative number, and the counterclockwise rotation angle is represented by a positive number. For example, a rotation angle obtained by rotating the crank 1656 by 10 ° clockwise from 0 ° is represented as −10 °, and an angle obtained by rotating, for example, 10 ° counterclockwise from 0 ° is represented by + 10 °.

  First, items common to the operation of the central lower movable body 1601 shown in FIGS. 38A to 38D will be described. A part of the torque of the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 is transmitted to the central lower movable body 1601 by the crank 1656 and the connecting portion 1658 via the guide hole portion 1603c1 of the movable lower portion 1603c. That is, a force is applied to the connecting portion 1658 by driving (rotating) the motor 1652, and a driving (rotating) force of the motor 1652 is applied to the central lower movable body 1601 by the connecting portion 1658. Further, the connecting portion between the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 and the crank 1656 is a force application point, and the contact portion between the connecting portion 1658 and the guide hole 1603c1 is an application point of force. When the connecting portion 1658 is not positioned at the front and rear ends of the guide hole portion 1603c1, the contact portion between the connecting portion 1658 and the guide hole portion 1603c1 is an upper portion or a lower portion of the connecting portion 1658, and the motor 1652 has a front and rear direction. Power does not work. When the rotation angle of the crank 1656 rotates counterclockwise from 0 ° to + 180 °, the connecting portion 1658 does not contact the front and rear ends of the guide hole portion 1603c1 (details will be described later). For this reason, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 rotates counterclockwise between 0 ° and + 180 °, a vertically upward force due to the drive (rotation) of the motor 1652 acts on the movable body 1601, and conversely When the crank 1656 rotates clockwise from + 180 ° to 0 °, a vertically downward force due to driving (rotation) of the motor 1652 acts on the movable body 1601. Further, the vertically upward force acting on the central lower movable body 1601 driven by the motor 1652 is proportional to the vertically upward component of the tangent in the locus of movement of the contact portion (upper portion) of the connecting portion 1658 serving as the force application point. . That is, assuming that the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is x °, the vertically upward force acting on the central lower movable body 1601 driven by the motor 1652 is proportional to sin (x °). For example, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is 0 °, the tangent line in the locus of movement of the contact portion (upper portion) is parallel to the front-rear direction, so the vertically upward component is 0 (= sin (0 °)). is there. Therefore, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is 0 °, a vertically upward force due to the driving of the motor 1652 does not act on the central lower movable body 1601. When the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is + 90 °, the vertical upward component of the tangent in the locus of movement of the contact portion (upper portion) serving as the action point of the force of the connecting portion 1658 is the maximum value +1 (= sin (+90 °)). For this reason, assuming that the torque of the motor 1652 is constant, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is + 90 °, the vertically upward force due to the driving of the motor 1652 acts on the central lower movable body 1601 at the maximum.

  The motor 1652 is fixed to the unit main body 822 of the accessory unit 820. For this reason, the center of the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 functions as a fulcrum that is fixed and does not move. On the other hand, the connecting portion 1658 is displaced in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction with the center of the rotation shaft of the motor 1652 as a fulcrum by the rotation of the crank 1656 fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 1652. Further, the central lower movable body 1601 is movable in the vertical direction, which is the installation direction of the guide rail 1660, and the central lower movable body 1601 is connected via a connecting portion 1658 and a guide hole portion 1603c1. Accordingly, the central lower movable body 1601 is displaced in the vertical direction by the vertical displacement of the connecting portion 1658.

  The spring locking portion 1662a of the base portion 1662 functions as a fulcrum of the helical spring 1664 (the direction in which the tip of the spring does not move), and the spring locking portion 1603c2 of the lower movable body 1603c is the point of action of the helical spring 1664 ( Acts as the spring tip moves). Since the spring locking portion 1603c2 is displaced by the vertical displacement of the connecting portion 1658, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is 0 °, the helical spring 1664 is extended to the maximum. On the other hand, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is + 180 °, the helical spring 1664 is configured to have a natural length. Therefore, when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is 0 °, the vertically upward force by the helical spring 1664 acts on the central lower movable body 1601 at the maximum, and when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is + 180 °, A vertically upward force by the helical spring 1664 does not act on the central lower movable body 1601.

  Next, the state of the central lower movable body 1601 shown in FIG. FIG. 38A shows a state where the central lower movable body 1601 is located at the initial position. When the central lower movable body 1601 is located at the initial position, the connecting portion 1658 is a half of the front end portion of the guide hole portion 1603c1 (hereinafter, may be referred to as “restricting portion” or “restraining portion”) 1603c4. It stops by hitting the circular arc-shaped wall of the circle. Further, the crank 1656 in this case adjusts the mounting position of the motor 1652 and the movable body lower portion 1603c so as to rotate and stop at a predetermined angle clockwise from 0 °.

  In the state where the central lower movable body 1601 is located at the initial position, the motor 1652 is not driven. For this reason, the force of the motor 1652 is not acting on the connecting portion 1658. On the other hand, since the helical spring 1664 is elastically deformed and extended, a vertically upward force is applied to the movable body 1601 by the elastic force of the helical spring 1664. When the moment of force is ignored, a force (f1) obtained by subtracting the weight of the central lower movable body 1601 from the vertically upward force due to the elastic force of the helical spring 1664 acts on the connecting portion 1658. In this embodiment, in the state where the central lower movable body 1601 is located at the initial position, the spring coefficient of the helical spring and the central lower portion are set so that the elastic force of the helical spring 1664 is larger than the weight of the central lower movable body 1601. Although the initial position of the movable body 1601 is set, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, since the connecting portion 1658 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 via the crank 1656, the locus of movement of the connecting portion 1658 draws an arc with the center of the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 as the rotating shaft. For this reason, the upward force f1 can be decomposed into a tangential force (f2) of the movement locus of the connecting portion 1658 and a force (f3) in the center direction of the arc of the movement locus of the connecting portion 1658. If the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is x °, f2 is expressed by f2 = f1 × sin (x °).

  In this embodiment, since the rotation angle of the crank 1656 at the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 is a negative angle, the connecting portion 1658 causes the force f2 to act on the restricting portion 1603c4. On the other hand, the movable body lower portion 1603c including the restricting portion 1603c4 is fixed to the movable body rear side cover portion 1603b, and the movable body rear side cover portion 1603b is provided to the base portion 1662 via the guide rail 1660. With this configuration, the restricting portion 1603c4 cannot move in the front-rear direction. For this reason, the connecting portion 1658 is pressed against the restricting portion 1603c4 with the force of f2, and the connecting portion 1658 is kept in contact with the restricting portion 1603c4 and stopped. Note that the direction of the force f2 when the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is a negative angle is opposite to the direction of the force acting on the connecting portion 1658 when the rotation shaft of the motor 1652 rotates counterclockwise. . Thus, even when the motor 1652 is not driven, the center lower movable body 1601 can be effectively suppressed to the initial position by the helical spring 1664 in some cases. In addition, there may be a case where the coupling portion 1658 can be kept in contact with the restricting portion 1603c4 and stopped by the excitation of the motor 1652. Even when the motor 1652 is not excited, the center lower movable body 1601 may be effectively suppressed to the initial position by the helical spring 1664. For this reason, the rotation angle of the crank 1656 at the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 may be 0 ° or may be a positive angle.

  A method for setting the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 will be described. In this embodiment, the state where the connecting portion 1658 is stopped by hitting the restricting portion 1603c4 is set as the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601. The initial position is set by rotating the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 clockwise until the connecting portion 1658 comes into contact with the restricting portion 1603c4 and stops. In this case, the light shielding portion 1603c3 of the movable body lower portion 1603c and the photo sensor 1666 (see FIG. 37) detect that the central lower movable body 1601 is located near the initial position, and then rotate the rotation axis of the motor 1652. The initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 is set by rotating it clockwise by a predetermined angle. The length of the short side of the guide hole portion 1603c1 is a length obtained by adding a slight margin (clearance) to the diameter of the roller portion of the connecting portion 1658, and is located at the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601. In the state, the rail stop portion 1660c1 may be provided so that the inner rail 1660a hits the rail stop portion 1660c1 of the outer rail 1660c and stops. In this case, the central lower movable body 1601 is not positioned below the initial position. Further, the rail stop portion 1660c1 may be provided so that the inner rail 1660a does not hit the rail stop portion 1660c1 of the outer rail 1660c in a state where the central lower movable body 1601 is located at the initial position. In this case, the central lower movable body 1601 may be positioned below the initial position.

  Next, the state of the central lower movable body 1601 shown in FIG. A state immediately after the central lower movable body 1601 starts moving from the initial position is shown. The rotation angle of the crank 1656 is approximately 0 °, but shows a slightly positive angle. For this reason, the direction of the force acting on the connecting portion 1658 by the elastic force of the helical spring 1664 coincides with the direction of the force acting on the connecting portion 1658 by the drive (rotation) of the motor 1652.

  Further, since the rotation angle of the crank 1656 is approximately 0 °, the upward force acting on the central lower movable body 1601 by the driving of the motor 1652 is small. On the other hand, since the helical spring 1664 is elastically deformed and extended, the upward force acting on the central lower movable body 1601 by the helical spring 1664 is increased. For this reason, the upward movement of the central lower movable body 1601 is promoted by the elastic force of the helical spring 1664, and the moving operation may be performed smoothly in the initial movement of the central lower movable body 1601. Even when the torque generated by driving the motor 1652 is small, the movable body 1601 may be able to move upward by the elastic force of the helical spring 1664.

  Next, the state of the central lower movable body 1601 shown in FIG. FIG. 38C shows a state where the central lower movable body 1601 moves upward from the state of FIG. 38B and the crank 1656 rotates about + 90 °. The length of the long side of the guide hole portion 1603c1 has a slight margin in the length of the straight line from the center of the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 to the circumferential end of the roller portion of the connecting portion 1658 through the center of the connecting portion 1658. Because of the added length, the connecting portion 1658 does not contact the rear end portion 1603c5 of the guide hole portion 1603c1. Thus, the crank 1656 can rotate at least 180 °. Further, the elastic force of the helical spring 1664 is reduced by the amount that the spring locking portion 1603c2 of the movable body lower portion 1603c has moved upward. On the other hand, since the crank 1656 is rotated by about + 90 °, an upward force due to the driving of the motor 1652 acts on the central lower movable body 1601 greatly.

  Next, the state of the central lower movable body 1601 shown in FIG. FIG. 38D shows a state where the central lower movable body 1601 has moved upward from the state of FIG. 38C and reached the target position. The connecting portion 1658 hits the restricting portion 1603c4 of the movable body lower portion 1603c and is stopped. The angle of the crank 1656 in this case is an angle obtained by adding + 180 ° to the crank angle at the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601. Further, since the restricting portion 1603c4 functions as a mechanical end of the connecting portion 1658, even when the motor 1652 continues to drive, the connecting portion 1658 hits the restricting portion 1603c4 and stops. On the other hand, since the crank 1656 is positioned substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the motor, the force in the backward direction of the connecting portion 1658 due to the gravity of the central lower movable body 1601 hardly acts. For this reason, the central lower movable body 1601 may be held at the target position by the excitation of the motor 1652. Further, even when the motor 1652 is de-energized and the motor 1652 is not excited, the center lower movable body 1601 can be held at the target position by the friction of the rotating shaft of the motor 1652 or the elastic force of the helical spring 1664. There is.

  When the central lower movable body 1601 moves from the target position (FIG. 38D) to the initial position (FIG. 38A), the rotation shaft of the motor 1652 is rotated clockwise. The method for setting the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 is as described above.

  The central lower movable body 1601 can move upward when the upper front movable body 1002 and the upper rear movable body 1102 are located at the initial positions. This is for the case where the motors 1070, 1152, and 1652 are stepped out, although the operation ranges of the central lower movable body 1601, the upper front movable body 1002, and the upper rear movable body 1102 do not overlap. Based on the command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400, the second sub-control unit 500 has the upper photosensor 1084 in the on state and the upper front movable body 1002 positioned at the initial position shown in FIG. After confirming that the photosensor 1176 is on and the upper rear movable body 1102 is located at the initial position, the motor 1652 is driven to move the center lower driver 1601 upward. The central lower movable body 1601 may be moved upward from the initial position when the upper front movable body 1002 and the upper rear movable body 1102 are located at the lowest position, or while moving to the lowest position. Good (see FIG. 41 (h)).

  Further, in this embodiment, control for continuing to drive the motor 1652 is executed to move the central lower movable body 1601 from the initial position to the target position, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the central lower movable body 1601 is driven at the start of movement from the initial position and the crank 1656 rotates counterclockwise by a predetermined angle from 0 °, the supply of power to the motor 1652 is stopped and the elasticity of the helical spring 1664 You may perform control which moves the center lower movable body 1601 to a target position only with force. Further, when the photo sensor or the like detects that the central lower movable body 1601 has reached the vicinity of the target position, supply of electric power to the motor 1652 is started, and the central lower movable body 1601 is moved by the driving force or exciting force of the motor 1652. Control that stops at the target position may be executed, or control that does not start supplying power to the motor 1652 even when the central lower movable body 1601 reaches the vicinity of the target position may be executed.

  Further, in this embodiment, the position of the central lower movable body 1601 in a state where the crank 1656 is rotated counterclockwise by + 180 ° from the state where the crank 1656 is positioned at the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 The target position 1601 is not limited to this. For example, the position of the central lower movable body 1601 in a state where the crank 1656 is rotated counterclockwise by + 90 ° from the state where the crank 1656 is positioned at the initial position of the central lower movable body 1601 may be set as the target position. Further, the target position of the central lower movable body 1601 may be arbitrarily set by arbitrarily setting the rotation angle of the crank 1656. For example, the target position of the central lower movable body 1601 may be set according to the reliability of the big hit in the reach production, or according to the player's advantage in various big hit games or small hit games, The target position of the central lower movable body 1601 may be set.

  In addition, the movable body 1601 in the present embodiment can perform a vertical movement operation, but is not limited thereto. For example, the movable body 1601 can be moved in various directions by installing the movable body support unit 1650 of the central lower accessory 1600 in various directions.

Next, a characteristic configuration of the pachinko machine 100 according to the embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 38 again.
