As a result, the player can see the reflected light and feel joyful.

  The game effect device A according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and is arranged with the front face of FIG. Next, a game board to which the game effect device according to the present invention is applied will be described. FIG. 10 is a front view of a game board to which the game effect device according to the present invention is applied. An outer guide rail 101a and an inner guide rail 101b are laid in a substantially spiral shape on the front surface of the game board 100, and a game area 102 is formed so as to be surrounded by the outer and inner guide rails 101a and 101b. Between the outer guide rail 101a and the inner guide rail 101b, a flying passage 103 for driving a game ball launched from a launch position (not shown) into the game area 102 is formed.

  A variable display device 105 having a large electronic display 104 made of a liquid crystal panel is disposed near the upper center of the game area 102. On the electronic display 104 of the variable display device 105, the symbols such as three numbers, characters and symbols arranged horizontally are changed in the vertical direction and stopped and displayed after a certain time. For example, the same number “7” stops side by side and the center number continues to fluctuate, and finally the center number also stops at the same number “7”. When three of the same symbols “” are gathered, a gaming state advantageous to the player “big hit” is obtained.

  A passing chucker 106 through which a game ball can pass from above is disposed between the inner guide rail 101 b constituting the flight path 103 and the fluctuation display device 105 in the game area 102, and below the fluctuation display device 105. Are provided with a start winning port 107 and a variable winning port 108 having a pair of opening and closing blade pieces 108a and 108a positioned below the start winning port 107. Further, a large winning device 109 having an opening / closing door 109a that pivots back and forth is provided below the variable winning opening 108. A normal winning opening 110 is provided at an appropriate position in the game area 102. In addition, at the bottom of the game area 102, an out-ball discharge port for discharging game balls that have not been won in the winning award such as the start winning opening 107, the variable winning opening 108, and the normal winning opening 110 to the outside of the gaming area 102. 111 is provided. And the game production | presentation apparatus A which concerns on this invention is arrange | positioned in the game area 102 below the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 105 and the right side by the front view of the fluctuation | variation prize-winning apparatus 108.

  For example, when a game ball driven into the game area 102 via the flying passage 103 flows down the surface of the game board 100 and passes through the passing chucker 106 located on the left side of the game area 102, a normal lottery is performed. When the result of this normal lottery is “winning”, the pair of opening and closing wing pieces 108a, 108a of the variable winning opening 108 tilts in a reverse C shape so that the game ball can win. Therefore, when a game ball wins at the start winning port 107 or the variable winning port 108, a special lottery is performed and a variable display of symbols (in this case, numbers) is started on the electronic display 104 of the variable display device 105.

  Therefore, when the change of the symbol is started, the display rotating body 3 is rotated by the stepping motor 13 and the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c are positioned at predetermined positions where the player can be seen. In the means, the display rotating body 3 stops instantaneously when the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c are almost in front, that is, at a predetermined position where the player can be seen, and any one of the decorative portions 6a, 6b , 6c are displayed and an interesting presentation can be made. In the decoration portions 6a, 6b, and 6c, an effect that the tennis player hits the ball is seen as information related to the game. At the same time, a suitable sound may be generated to add a sound effect. In this case, the LED 20 that is a sub-light emitting body arranged in the left and right support frames 2a and 2b and the LED 21 arranged on the bar 19 positioned above the display rotating body 3 do not emit light.

  In addition, when the change of the symbol is started, the LEDs 20 and 20 in the left and right support frames 2a and 2b are placed on the respective light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c that are substantially facing the front from the direction of the central axis 4. You may make it irradiate and illuminate decoration part 6a, 6b, 6c in this light reflection surface 5a, 5b, 5c from both sides. In this case, each decoration part 6a, 6b, 6c protrudes three-dimensionally from each light reflecting surface 5a, 5b, 5c, and each decoration part 6a, 6b, 6c is continuous like frame advance in order. However, the player can also see the production where the tennis player hits the ball. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, first, the display rotator 3 starts rotating at a low speed. That is, the display rotator 3 is rotated forward by 100 pps for 20 ms and proceeds two steps. Next, it rotates forward by 125 pps during 32 ms and advances 4 steps. Next, it rotates forward at 166 pps for 48 ms and advances 8 steps. Next, it rotates forward by 125 pps during 32 ms and advances 4 steps. Next, it rotates forward at 100 pps for 20 ms and advances two steps. Finally, it is stopped for 24 ms. This is repeated as one frame. Since the display rotator 3 is formed in a regular triangular prism shape, the display rotator 3 makes one rotation when three frames are repeated. Since the LED 20 is a full-color LED, the degree of expectation for development into a reach state may be changed depending on the emission color. For example, the first “blue” has a low degree of expectation, and the degree of expectation increases in the order of “yellow”, “green”, and “red”.

  Thereby, each decoration part 6a, 6b, 6c can be clearly lifted with light, and each decoration part 6a, 6b, 6c can be raised further. In each of the decorative portions 6a, 6b, and 6c, when the outer peripheral edge has a white border, the white border is reflected by light and the outline can be seen more clearly. Further, by performing such a series of controls after the variable display on the electronic display 104 of the variable display device 105 is started, the player is expected to develop into a reach state. be able to.

  In addition, when the change display of the numbers displayed on the electronic display 104 of the change display device 105 is in a reach state, the game effect device A is electrically operated in the same manner as described above to set the display rotating body 3 to a predetermined value. Rotate at speed. And the decoration parts 6a, 6b, and 6c appear on the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c stopped at a predetermined position where the player can be seen. On the other hand, also at this time, the decorative portions 6a and 6b provided on the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c that are stopped at predetermined positions by causing the LEDs 20 as the auxiliary light emitters in the left and right support frames 2a and 2b to emit light. , 6c may be irradiated. Thus, the display rotating body 3 is rotated by the stepping motor 13 and the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c of the display rotating body 3 can be positioned at predetermined positions where the player can be seen. Thus, the player can see the decorative portions 6a, 6b, and 6c and perform an interesting performance, and can give the player a sense of expectation that the player will be a big hit from the reach state.

  On the other hand, in the electronic display 104, for example, when the same number is coincided with “777” by chance from the reach state, it becomes a “big hit” state, which is a game state advantageous to the player, and a big prize at the bottom of the game board 100 is obtained. The opening / closing door 109a of the device 109 is opened a predetermined number of times, so that it becomes easy for a game ball to win the big winning device 109. That is, when the opening / closing door 109a is opened and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins, the opening / closing door 109a is temporarily closed. This is repeated a maximum of a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times), during which the player can obtain many winning balls.

  In the second effect means, the display rotating body 3 is continuously rotated by the stepping motor 13 for a predetermined time and the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c are irradiated with light by the LED 21 as a light emitter in accordance with the predetermined time. In the meantime, the LED 20 as the auxiliary light emitter in the left and right support frames 2a, 2b is not caused to emit light. Specifically, the game effect device A is electrically operated to rotate the display rotator 3 forward at a predetermined speed, and continuously emit the LEDs 20 arranged in the bar 19 so that the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c is irradiated with light.

  When the LED 21 that is a light emitter is irradiated onto the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c of the display rotator 3, the expectation of jackpot is higher than when the LED 20 that is a sub light emitter is irradiated, or the electronic display 104 It is desirable to use it for the purpose of notifying the “big hit” before the big hit is displayed. Further, the irradiation of these lights is not limited to the fluctuation display of the electronic display 104, and can be used as, for example, a promotion effect during the big hit or immediately after the big hit. By the second effect means, the display rotating body 3 is continuously rotated by the stepping motor 13 for a predetermined time, and the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c are irradiated with light by the LED 21, which is a light emitter, in accordance with the predetermined time. Each of the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b and 5c is illuminated by the LED 21 to produce a gorgeous effect.

  As described above, the game effect device for a gaming machine according to the present invention rotates the display rotating body 3 by the stepping motor 13 and positions the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c at predetermined positions where the player can be seen. In the first effect means, the decorative portions 6a, 6b, 6c provided on the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c coming to the predetermined positions are displayed without light emission of the LED 20 which is a sub-light emitter. Further, the display rotating body 3 is continuously rotated by the stepping motor 13 for a predetermined time and the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b and 5c are irradiated with light by the LED 21 which is a light emitter in accordance with the predetermined time. In the means, the light reflected from the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c stands out by reflecting the light irradiated to the front, that is, the player side, and the light effect of the rotating light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c is sufficiently exerted and rotated. Is obtained. In this way, the first production means can produce interesting effects of the decoration portions 6a, 6b, and 6c, and the second production means can illuminate the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c with the LED 21 that is a light emitter. It is possible to produce effects, and by selectively using these, it is possible to perform different types of effects depending on the game situation.

  Moreover, in each said 1st production | presentation means, decoration part 6a, 6b, 6c protrudes three-dimensionally from the light reflection surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c, and it is subordinate in the vicinity of the edge part along the longitudinal direction of the display rotary body 3. Since the LED 20 which is a light emitter is arranged, when the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c come to the predetermined position where the player can see and the display rotating body 3 stops instantaneously, the decoration that comes to the predetermined position If the light of the LED 20 that is a sub-light emitter is irradiated to the parts 6a, 6b, and 6c from both the left and right sides along the central axis direction, the decoration parts 6a, 6b, and 6c can be made to appear to float by the light. The decoration parts 6a, 6b, 6c can be further enhanced to create a fantastic state.

  In the present invention, the decorative portions 6a, 6b, and 6c are formed so as to protrude three-dimensionally on the light reflecting surfaces 5a, 5b, and 5c. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the decorative portion is formed of a light-transmitting synthetic resin material, and a diffusion surface on which light is diffusely reflected and diffused is formed on the back surface of the decorative portion, and a mounting hole is formed in each light reflecting surface of the display rotating body. Each decoration part is fitted to each mounting hole, and the LED which is a light emitter is arranged inside the display rotating body, the light of each LED is irradiated to each decoration part, and each decoration part which is floated by the light May be viewed by the player from the front. In addition, the display rotating body and the decorative part may be integrally formed with a light-transmitting synthetic resin material, and a light reflecting material such as aluminum may be deposited on a portion excluding the decorative part, or a mirror seal may be applied. You may wear it. Furthermore, it is also possible to make the decoration part a half mirror by applying a small amount of vapor deposition to the decoration part. In this case, the entire light reflecting surface including the decorative portion is a reflecting surface. In either case, an LED as a light emitter is arranged inside the display rotator, and the light of each LED is irradiated to each decoration part.
