(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described. In the movable effect device 40, the movable arm 52 is held in the raised posture by the movable support portion 58 supported by the switching means 60 in the first state at the uppermost position of the switching main body portion 61 supporting the movable engagement portion 56. Thus, the movable effector 42 connected to the rotating end of the movable arm 52 is held at the standby position retracted to the upper side of the image display unit 17a. That is, the load of the movable effect body 42 is received by the movable support portion 58 in the first state. The movable effect device 40 rotates the switching main body 61 of the switching means 60 by the movable motor 64 to switch the movable support portion 58 from the first state to the second state, whereby the movable engagement portion 56 of the movable support portion 58 is switched. The support is released and the movable support portion 58 is removed from the movement path of the movable engagement portion 56 when the movable arm 52 is displaced from the rising posture to the lowering posture. When the movable arm 52 loses support by the movable support portion 58, the movable effect body 42 is allowed to fall due to its own weight, and the movable effect body 42 is guided by the movable guide 50 without being obstructed by the movable arm 52. It falls all at once from the position to the movable performance position. When the movable effect body 42 reaches the movable effect position, the movable arm 52 is received by the movable stopper 68 and stops at the movable effect position. In this way, the movable effect device 40 has a simple configuration in which the movable support portion 58 is switched from the first state to the second state by the switching means 60, and causes the movable effect body 42 to fall from the standby position to the movable effect position by its own weight. Can do. And the movable production | presentation apparatus 40 can perform an operation production with an impact by the movable production | presentation body 42 which falls. Here, the movable effector 42 is accommodated and hidden in the upper installation space SH at the standby position, and suddenly moves to the front side of the image display unit 17a visible from the front side of the game board 20 by dropping from the standby position. appear. Therefore, the movable effect device 40 can give an impact not only by the impact due to the rapid displacement from the standby position of the movable effect body 42 to the movable effect position but also by the appearance of the movable effect body 42.

  The movable arm 52 is connected to the movable arm 52 because one end in the longitudinal direction is rotatably supported by the movable base 44 and the other end in the longitudinal direction is connected to the movable effector 42. The moving range of the movable effector 42 can be increased, and the impact due to the operation of the movable effector 42 can be further improved. In addition, the movable effector 42 is connected to a portion of the movable effector 42 that is biased to the right from the center in the left-right direction, and is movable at a portion that is biased to the left of the center of the movable effector 42 in the left-right direction. Since it is supported by the guide 50, interference between the movable arm 52 and the movable guide 50 can be prevented.

  The movable effect device 40 is accompanied by the movable effect body 42 at the movable effect position after the movable support portion 58 is displaced by a predetermined range in the second state in which the movable support portion 58 deviates from the movement path of the movable engagement portion 56 by the rotation of the switching means 60. Then, it comes to the lower side of the movable engagement portion 56 of the movable arm 52 in the lowered posture, and switches from the second state to the first state. In the movable effect device 40, the movable support portion 58 supports the movable engagement portion 56 by moving the movable support portion 58 from the lower side to the upper side in the first state by the rotation of the switching unit 60, so that the movable arm 52 is moved. When the movable arm 52 is displaced from the lowered posture to the raised posture, the movable effect body 42 is raised from the movable effect position toward the standby position. When the switching means 60 (switching main body 61) rotates once and the movable support 58 returns to the uppermost position of the switching main body 61, the driving of the movable motor 64 is stopped, and the first position at the uppermost position of the switching main body 61 is reached. The movable effector 42 is returned to the standby position by supporting the movable engagement portion 56 with the movable support portion 58 held in the first state and holding the movable arm 52 in the raised posture.

  As described above, the movable effect device 40 can easily switch the movable support portion 58 between the first state and the second state by the rotation of the switching unit 60. Further, the movable effect device 40 can lift the movable arm 52 in the first state and return the movable effect body 42 from the movable effect position to the standby position by switching the state of the movable support portion 58 by the switching means 60. That is, the movable effect device 40 does not have to be provided with a separate mechanism for returning the movable effect body 42 from the movable effect position to the standby position, and can be simplified in configuration. In addition, the movable effector 42 is moved to the second state in which the movable effector 42 is allowed to fall from the first state in which the moveable effector 42 is supported so as to be in the standby position by only one rotation of the switching unit 60. Since it moves to the 1st state which raises and supports the movable production | presentation body 42 so that it may become a stand-by position, it is not necessary to perform complicated control, such as rotating the movable motor 64 forward / reversely, and performing speed change control, and this movable motor The control load of the control device that controls 64 can be reduced. The movable support portion 58 has an outer peripheral portion that abuts on the movable engagement portion 56 by a support cylindrical portion 58b rotatably disposed on a support shaft portion 58a projecting from the switching main body portion 61 of the switching means 60. Therefore, the sliding load when the movable support portion 58 is displaced while sliding along the extending direction of the movable engagement portion 56 can be reduced. Accordingly, the movable support portion 58 can be smoothly switched between the first state and the second state by the switching means 60.

  Since the movable effect device 40 is configured to receive the movable arm 52 by the movable stopper 68 when the movable effect body 42 falls from the standby position toward the movable effect position, the movable guide 50 that supports the movable effect body 42. In addition, it is possible to suppress the impact caused by the falling movable effect body 42 and reduce the load applied to the movable guide 50. The movable stopper 68 receives the first arm portion 52c by the first receiving surface 68a and the second arm portion 52d by the second receiving surface 52d in the lowered posture of the movable arm 52 corresponding to the movable effect position of the movable effect body 42. Take it. That is, the movable stopper 68 is not easily damaged because the load of the movable effector 42 falling from the standby position to the movable effect position is received by being distributed to the first receiving surface 68a and the second receiving surface 68b.

  Each motion unit U of the motion effect device 100 includes the motion base 120 and the motion base with the motion shaft 112 of the drive arm 110 in the retracted position engaged with the motion shaft opening 122 of the motion base 120. The entire motion effect body 102 including the motion decoration portion 140 disposed in the portion 120 is held at the retracted position. In the operation unit U, the drive arm 110 is rotated from the retracted posture to the operation posture by driving the operation motor 113, so that the operation shaft portion 112 is rotated and displaced from the outside of the installation opening 22a toward the inside of the opening. To do. The operation shaft portion 112 that is rotationally displaced from the retracted posture in accordance with the operation posture is hooked in the left-right direction on the operation shaft opening 122 of the operation base portion 120, thereby moving the operation base portion 120 from the retracted position toward the motion effect position. Accordingly, the entire motion effect body 102 including the motion decoration portion 140 disposed on the motion base portion 120 is moved toward the motion effect position. The motion effect body 102 appears on the front side of the symbol display portion 17a visible from the front side of the game board 20 by moving from the retracted position accommodated in the side installation spaces SL and SR to the motion effect position, and the drive arm When the 110 rotates to the motion posture, the motion decoration unit 140 as a whole becomes a motion effect position that is visible from the front side of the game board 20. In the operation unit U, the operation shaft portion 112 that is rotationally displaced by the drive arm 110 being rotated from the operation posture to the retracted posture by driving the operation motor 113 is formed in the operation shaft opening 122 of the operation base portion 120. By being hooked in the left-right direction, the motion base unit 120 is moved in the left-right direction from the motion position to the retreat effect position, whereby the motion effect body 102 is returned from the motion effect position to the retreat position.

  In the motion effect body 102, the motion decoration portion 140 is disposed so as to be movable in the left-right direction with respect to the motion base portion 120. The motion decoration portion 140 is moved to the motion base by the movable decoration portion 86 of the movable effect body 42. The part 120 can be moved in the left-right direction. That is, the motion effect body 102 can be displaced not only by the movement of the motion base portion 120 and the movement decoration portion 140 accompanying the movement of the motion base portion 120, but also by the motion decoration portion 140 itself. Therefore, an interesting motion effect can be performed by combining the motions of the motion base unit 120 and the motion decoration unit 140. The motion effect body 102 is provided with two upper and lower motion decoration portions 140A and 140B. The upper motion decoration portion 140A is supported by the upper ends of the pivot arms 146 and 146 whose middle portions are rotatably supported by the slide member 130, and the lower motion decoration portion 140B is the upper end that supports the upper motion decoration portion 140A. It is supported by the lower end part on the opposite side across the part and the rotation fulcrum. That is, when one of the upper and lower motion decoration portions 140A (140B) is moved, the motion decoration portion 140B (140A) connected via the rotating arms 146 and 146 is also moved. In addition, since the operation decoration portions 140A and 140B are supported on the opposite ends of the rotation fulcrum of the rotation arms 146 and 146, the other operation is caused by the displacement of one operation decoration portion 140A (140B). The decorative portion 140B (140A) can be displaced to the opposite side of the one motion decorative portion 140A (140B). As described above, the motion effect body 102 can displace the other motion decoration portion 140B (140A) in conjunction with the displacement of the one motion decoration portion 140A (140B). The mechanism for doing this can be simplified.

  In the motion effect body 102, a motion decoration portion 150 is disposed on the motion decoration portion 140 so as to be displaceable with respect to the motion decoration portion 140. The motion decoration portion 140 that supports the motion decoration portion 150 is supported by a slide member 130 that is arranged so as to be movable in the vertical direction with respect to the motion base portion 120, and moves up and down as the slide member 130 moves in the vertical direction.
