JP 2008-125630 A

  However, as configured in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, when configured to wait in a state where a plurality of movable bodies overlap in the front-rear direction, a space for waiting the plurality of movable bodies (hereinafter referred to as storage space). Will increase in the front-rear direction. In order to reduce the size of the storage space in the front-rear direction, it is necessary to reduce the thickness (size in the front-rear direction) of any of the plurality of movable bodies. It will be.

  An object of the present invention is to make it possible to efficiently use a limited space as a storage space during standby of a plurality of movable bodies in a gaming machine including a plurality of movable bodies that construct an integrated performance form. .

A gaming machine according to the invention of claim 1, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, includes a first movable body that is capable of linearly reciprocating between a first standby position, a first standby position, and a first performance position; A second movable body capable of reciprocating between a second standby position and a second performance position on one side of a linear straight line on which the first movable body can move; and a side on which the second movable body moves. and a third movable member reciprocally movable between a third standby position and a third effect position the other side of said different straight line and the first movable body, the first main movable member, and A first sub movable body interlocking with the first main movable body, and at the first standby position, the first main movable body and the first sub movable body are overlapped in the front-rear direction. When the predetermined effect is executed, the first movable body is located at the first effect position, and the second movable body is the second effect. When the third movable body is located at the third production position, an integrated production form in which these movable bodies are combined is constructed, and at the time of standby other than the predetermined production execution time, The third movable position is located at the second standby position farther from the straight line than the second performance position, and the third movable body is farther from the straight line than the third performance position. In a state where the first movable body is positioned at the first standby position, at least a part of the first movable body is positioned between the second standby position and the third standby position. It is characterized by being.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the first movable body and the first main movable body and the first movable body move from the first standby position to the first presentation position. The first sub-movable body is configured such that a region overlapping in the front-rear direction becomes smaller.

  In the first aspect of the invention, with respect to the first movable body that moves linearly, the second movable body moves on one side of the straight line, and the third movable body moves on the other side. And since the 2nd movable body and the 3rd movable body operate | move so that it may leave | separate from a straight line when it is located in a stand-by position rather than when it is located in a production | presentation position, The space between the movable bodies increases. At least a part of the first movable body positioned at the standby position is accommodated in the space using the enlarged space. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the storage space for storing each movable body during standby from becoming large in the front-rear direction. From another viewpoint, it is possible to suppress an increase in the storage space in the front-rear direction by using a space in a direction orthogonal to the straight line.

  Further, since the second movable body and the third movable body operate so as to move away from the straight line when positioned at the standby position rather than when positioned at the effect position, the second movable body and the third movable body operate at the standby position. The space between the movable bodies increases. Therefore, as in the invention described in claim 5, the first movable body has two members, the first main movable body and the first sub movable body, and the first movable body is located at the first standby position. In some cases, these two members can be stacked and stored in the front-rear direction. That is, since it is difficult to secure the storage space, the first movable body cannot be configured to have two members, which contributes to the improvement of the effect.

  When the first movable body is composed of the two members as described above, as described in claim 2, the region where the two members overlap from the first standby position to the first effect position becomes smaller. That is, it is possible to achieve an effect mode in which both members gradually spread in the plane direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

It is a front view of the game machine concerning this embodiment (a publicly known member is omitted). It is a front view of a center base, a movable body attached to the center, and a drive device for the movable body, and shows a state where each movable body is located at a standby position. It is an external appearance perspective view of a center base and a movable body attached to the center base and a drive device for the movable body, and shows a state where each movable body is located at a standby position. It is a front view of a center base and a movable body attached thereto, and shows a state in which each movable body is located at a standby position. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 4 (the third movable body side is omitted). It is a front view of a center base, a movable body attached to the center, and a drive device for the movable body, and shows a state in which each movable body is located at the effect position. It is the BB sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is an external appearance perspective view of the center base, the movable body attached to it, and the drive device of the movable body, and shows a state where each movable body is located at the effect position. It is the perspective view which looked at the 2nd drive source and the 4th movable body driven by it from the front side.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the plane direction is a direction along (parallel to) the plane direction of the game board 90, and the front-rear direction is a direction orthogonal to the plane direction of the game board 90 (the player side is front and the opposite side is the front side). In the following description, the vertical direction refers to the vertical direction in FIG. 1, and the width direction (horizontal direction) refers to the horizontal direction in FIG.

  First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, components of the gaming machine that are not related to the present invention, such as a frame of the gaming machine 1, a launching device that launches a game ball, a lower plate and an upper plate that store the game ball, are omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and is a strip-like plate made of a thin metal plate that guides a game ball (corresponding to a game medium in the present invention) launched by the operation of the launcher to the game area 902. The guide rail 903 is provided so as to have a substantially arc shape.

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a first start winning opening 904, a second starting winning opening 905, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. As the display device 91, for example, a liquid crystal display device is used, and a special symbol, a normal symbol, or the like is displayed on the display screen (display unit) of the display device 91. The display screen of the display device 91 is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90.

  In addition, the game area 902 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the flow-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning port such as the start winning ports 904 and 905 or the big winning port 906, a predetermined number of award balls are paid out by the payout device. In addition, the jackpot lottery method, effects, and the like can be applied to those similar to known game machines, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of movable bodies that advance to the front of the display screen of the display device 91 and are visible through the opening 901 of the game board 90 when a predetermined effect is executed. The plurality of movable bodies are operated by a driving device attached to the center base 25 provided behind the game board 90. Hereinafter, the configuration of the plurality of movable bodies and the driving device will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  The drive device in the present embodiment includes a first movable body 2, a second movable body 3, a third movable body 4, a fourth movable body 31, and a fifth movable body 41 (members corresponding to the fourth movable body in the present invention). But also work). The first movable body 2 is a movable body imitating the face (a part other than the forehead) of a certain character. The first movable body 2 in the present embodiment has a first main movable body 21 and a first sub movable body 22. The first movable body 2 receives the power of the first drive source 24 and reciprocates between the first standby position and the first effect position in a straight line along the vertical direction. The straight line L is a straight line passing through the center of the gaming machine 1 in the width direction.

  The drive mechanism of the first movable body 2 is as follows. The first drive source 24 (motor) is fixed to the upper left of the center base 25. The power of the first drive source 24 is output to the first movable body base 23 via one or a plurality of gears. The first movable body base 23 is supported so as to be slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the center base 25. A first main movable body 21 is supported on the first movable body base 23 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. A first sub movable body 22 is supported on the first main movable body 21 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

  When the first movable body 2 is located at the first standby position (original position), most of the first movable body base 23, the first main movable body 21, and the first sub movable body 22 overlap each other in the front-rear direction. ing. When the first movable body 2 is located at the first standby position, the first movable body 2 is covered by the portion above the opening 901 of the game board 90. When the first drive source 24 is driven (normally rotated) in a state where the first movable body 2 is located at the first standby position, the power is output to the first movable body base 23, and the first movable body base 23 is driven. Moves down.

  A gear train (not shown) is fixed to the first movable body base 23, and a gear (input side gear) located at the top of the gear train meshes with a rack member fixed to the center base 25. The lowermost gear (output-side gear) meshes with a rack member fixed to the first main movable body 21. For this reason, when the first movable body base 23 moves downward, the uppermost gear of the gear train rotates, and the rotation is transmitted to the lowermost gear. The rotational power of the lowermost gear is transmitted as a downward force to the first main movable body 21 through a rack member fixed to the first main movable body 21. That is, when the first movable body base 23 moves downward, the first main movable body 21 also moves downward. Here, the reduction ratio of the gear train is set so that the downward movement amount of the first main movable body 21 is larger than the downward movement amount of the first movable body base 23. That is, as the driving amount of the first drive source 24 increases, the distance in the vertical direction between the first movable body base 23 and the first main movable body 21 gradually increases. That is, the region where the first movable body base 23 and the first main movable body 21 overlap in the front-rear direction becomes gradually smaller.

  On the other hand, a gear train (not shown) different from the above gear train is fixed to the first main movable body 21, and the gear (input side gear) located at the top of this other gear train is the first gear train. The lowermost gear (output gear) meshes with the rack member fixed to the first sub movable body 22, and meshes with the rack member fixed to the one movable body base 23. Therefore, when the first movable body base 23 and the first main movable body 21 move downward, the gear located at the top of the other gear train rotates due to the difference in the downward movement amount of both, and the rotation Is transmitted to the lowermost gear. The rotational power of the lowermost gear is transmitted as a downward force to the first sub movable body 22 through a rack member fixed to the first sub movable body 22. That is, when the first movable body base 23 and the first main movable body 21 move downward, the first sub movable body 22 also moves downward. Here, the reduction ratio of the other gear train is set so that the amount of downward movement of the first sub movable body 22 is larger than the amount of downward movement of the first main movable body 21. . That is, as the drive amount of the first drive source 24 increases, the distance between the first main movable body 21 and the first sub movable body 22 in the vertical direction gradually increases. That is, the region where the first main movable body 21 and the first sub movable body 22 overlap in the front-rear direction becomes gradually smaller.

  Thus, when the first drive source 24 is rotated forward, the first movable body base 23, the first main movable body 21, and the second sub movable body move downward. The downward movement amount with respect to the drive amount of the first drive source 24 increases in the order of the first movable body base 23, the first main movable body 21, and the first sub movable body 22. Therefore, as the drive amount of the first drive source 24 increases, each member moves downward while gradually moving away (up in the plane direction), and finally the first main movable body 21 and the first drive The first sub movable body 22 is positioned in front of the display screen of the display device 91, and a part of the effect form (for example, a form imitating the face of a certain character) is constructed. This state is a state in which the first movable body 2 is located at the first effect position.

  On the other hand, when the first drive source 24 is reversed while the first movable body 2 is positioned at the first effect position, the first movable body is operated in the reverse direction from the first standby position toward the first effect position. The body 2 returns to the first standby position. That is, as the drive amount of the first drive source 24 increases, each member moves upward while gradually approaching the vertical direction, and finally most of the first movable body base 23 and the first sub movable body 22 are moved. In the state covered with the first main movable body 21, it is located at the upper edge of the center base 25. Thus, in the present embodiment, the region where the first movable body base 23, the first main movable body 21, and the first sub movable body 22 overlap each other in the front-rear direction at the first standby position is greater than that at the first effect position. Also grows. That is, the area occupied by the entire first movable body 2 in the planar direction is smallest at the first standby position. In the first standby position, most of the first movable body 2 is covered by a portion above the opening 901 in the game board 90. That is, the first movable body 2 is in a state that is difficult for the player to visually recognize.

  The second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 are movable bodies that construct a part of the effect form (for example, a form imitating the forehead of a certain character). The second movable body 3 receives the power of the second drive source 32 via the fourth movable body 31, and the third movable body 4 receives the power of the third drive source 42 via the fifth movable body 41. Operates by being transmitted. Specifically, the second movable body 3 is a straight line between the second standby position and the second performance position on one side of the straight line L along the moving direction of the first movable body 2 (left side in the present embodiment). The third movable body 4 reciprocates in an oblique direction with respect to L, and the third movable body 4 is located on the other side of the straight line L (right side in the present embodiment) between the third standby position and the third effect position with respect to the straight line L. Move back and forth in an oblique direction.

  The fourth movable body 31 and the fifth movable body 41 are movable bodies that construct a part of the effect form (for example, a form imitating a character's hair). The fourth movable body 31 is operated by the second drive source 32, and the fifth movable body 41 is operated by the third drive source 42. The moving direction of the fourth movable body 31 and the fifth movable body 41 is parallel to the moving direction of the first movable body 2. That is, the fourth movable body 31 reciprocates vertically between the fourth standby position and the fourth effect position on one side of the straight line L, and the fifth movable body 41 moves on the other side of the straight line L. It reciprocates up and down between the fifth standby position and the fifth effect position.

  Hereinafter, the drive mechanism of these movable bodies will be described. In the present embodiment, the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4, and the fourth movable body 31 and the fifth movable body 41 are symmetric with respect to the straight line L as a symmetry axis (strictly speaking, The game machine 1 including the straight line L is a bilaterally symmetric shape having a plane that bisects the width direction in the width direction, and the operation is also a bilaterally symmetric shape, so that the second movable body 3 and the fourth movable body 31 are driven. The mechanism will be described in detail, and the driving mechanism of the third movable body 4 and the fifth movable body 41 will be briefly described.

  A second drive source 32 that operates the second movable body 3 and the fourth movable body 31 is fixed to the upper left of the center base 25. The power of the first drive source 24 is output to the drive rack member 311 via one or more gears.

  The driving rack member 311 is fixed to the fourth movable body 31. A first rail 253 along the vertical direction is fixed to the center base 25. A first slider 313 fixed to the fourth movable body 31 is engaged with the first rail 253. When the power of the second drive source 32 is transmitted to the drive rack member 311, the fourth movable body 31 moves up and down along the first rail 253.

  A long hole 33 along the width direction is formed behind the second movable body 3 (see FIG. 12). A projection 321 (see FIG. 9) formed on the fourth movable body 31 is engaged in the long hole 33. The protruding portion 321 can slide in the long hole 33. A second rail 254 (corresponding to a rail in the present invention) that is inclined with respect to the straight line L (vertical direction) is fixed to the center base 25. The second rail 254 is inclined from the upper end to the lower end so as to go from the left toward the center in the width direction (see FIGS. 6 and 8). In other words, the slope gradually approaches the straight line L from the upper end to the lower end. A second slider 34 (corresponding to the slider in the present invention; see FIG. 12) fixed to the second movable body 3 is engaged with the second rail 254.

  When the second drive source 32 is driven (normally rotated) in a state where the second movable body 3 is located at the second standby position and the fourth movable body 31 is located at the fourth standby position, the power is driven to the driving rack member. 311 and the fourth movable body 31 moves downward. When the fourth movable body 31 moves downward, the projecting portion 321 pushes the lower inner wall surface of the long hole 33 (the lower inner wall surface of both sides of the long hole 33 in the width direction). Thereby, a downward force is transmitted to the second movable body 3, and the second movable body 3 moves downward along the second rail 254 while gradually approaching the straight line L. At this time, the protruding portion 321 slides in the long hole 33. That is, the second movable body 3 moves together with the fourth movable body 31 by pushing the lower inner wall surface of the long hole 33 while the protruding portion 321 slides in the long hole 33. Finally, the second movable body 3 is at the second presentation position obliquely lower right with respect to the second standby position, and the fourth movable body 31 is at the fourth presentation position immediately below the fourth standby position. To reach. The second movable body 3 that has reached the second effect position by the second drive source 32 moves symmetrically by the third drive source 42 and, together with the third movable body 4 that has reached the third effect position, the display device 91. In front of the display screen, a part of the effect form (for example, the amount of a certain character) is constructed. That is, like the second movable body 3, the third movable body 4 is also a fourth rail 256 (corresponding to a rail in the present invention) inclined with respect to the straight line L (vertical direction) fixed to the center base 25. On the other hand, a slider (not shown, corresponding to the slider in the present invention) fixed to the third movable body 4 is configured to be movable in an oblique direction by sliding. The fourth movable body 31 that has reached the fourth effect position by the second drive source 32 moves symmetrically by the third drive source 42, and together with the fifth movable body 41 that has reached the fifth effect position, the display device 91 In front of the display screen, a part of the effect form (for example, the hair of a character) is constructed. That is, similarly to the fourth movable body 31, the fifth movable body 41 is configured to be movable along the third rail 255 along the straight line L (vertical direction) fixed to the center base 25.

  At the time of executing a predetermined effect, the second movable body 3 and the fourth movable body 31 are moved after the first movable body 2 (the first main movable body 21 and the first sub movable body 22) is moved toward the first effect position. , And the third movable body 4 and the fifth movable body 41 are moved toward the production position, and when all the movable bodies reach the production position, the first movable body 2 to the fifth movable body 41 are moved. An integrated effect form formed in combination is constructed in front of the display screen of the display device 91. The execution time of a predetermined effect is a case where it is determined to execute an effect that builds an integrated effect form, and a part of the time during which the jackpot determination symbol fluctuates (eg, jackpot variation effect / reach effect) Or a big hit. Whether or not to execute an effect that builds an integrated effect form during the jackpot determination symbol variation is generally determined by the effect determining means mounted on the sub-board according to the success or failure of the jackpot.

  On the other hand, when the second drive source 32 is driven (normally rotated) with the second movable body 3 in the second effect position and the fourth movable body 31 in the fourth effect position, the power is used for driving. The fourth movable body 31 is moved upward by being transmitted to the rack member 311. When the fourth movable body 31 moves upward, the projecting portion 321 pushes the upper inner wall surface of the long hole 33 (the upper inner wall surface of both sides of the long hole 33 in the width direction). As a result, an upward force is transmitted to the second movable body 3, and the second movable body 3 moves upward along the second rail 254 gradually away from the straight line L. Finally, the second movable body 3 reaches the second standby position, and the fourth movable body 31 reaches the fourth standby position. Since the third movable body 4 also operates symmetrically with the second movable body 3 by the third drive source 42, the third movable body 4 gradually moves away from the straight line L when moving from the third effect position to the third standby position. While moving up. The second movable body 3 to the fifth movable body 41 located at the standby position are covered by a portion above the opening 901 in the game board 90. That is, the second movable body 3 to the fifth movable body 41 together with the first movable body 2 are in a state that is difficult for the player to visually recognize. At the time of standby other than the predetermined performance, each movable body is in this state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, power is transmitted to the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 via the fourth movable body 31 and the fifth movable body 41. The moving directions of the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 are regulated by regulating means including the long hole 33, the protruding portion 321, the second rail 254, and the second slider 34 as constituent elements. Among these, the long hole 33 and the protruding portion 321 are also power transmission elements from the fourth movable body 31 to the second movable body 3 and from the fifth movable body 41 to the third movable body 4.

  In addition, when moving each movable body to the standby position from the state in which the integrated production form is constructed by the first movable body 2 to the fifth movable body 41, the second movable body 3 and the fourth movable body 31 are used. And the third movable body 4 and the fifth movable body 41 (movable bodies other than the first movable body 2) are moved toward the standby position, and then the first movable body 2 is directed toward the first standby position. Move. That is, when moving from the standby position toward the effect position, the first movable body 2 is moved first, and when moving from the effect position toward the standby position, a movable body other than the first movable body 2 is used. Execute the move first.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 move downward from the standby position, the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 gradually move toward the straight line L (located at the first presentation position). Approaches the first movable body 2). On the other hand, when moving from the effect position to the standby position, the distance from the straight line L gradually increases as it moves upward. Therefore, the space between the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 in the width direction is larger when the movable bodies are positioned at the standby position than when the movable bodies are positioned at the effect position. In a space between the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 positioned at the standby position, at least a part of the first movable body 2 positioned at the first standby position (a protruding portion protruding from the first movable body 2). ) Is stored.

  That is, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the predetermined effect is executed, the second movable body 3 and the first movable body 3 and the first movable body 3 move in a straight line while approaching the first movable body 2 located at the first effect position. The three movable bodies 4 move and eventually reach the second effect position and the third effect position, whereby an integrated effect form is constructed. On the other hand, at the time of standby other than the execution of the predetermined effect, the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 move away from the straight line L and store the first movable body 2 that returns to the first standby position. Operates to reserve space. Thereby, the part which the 1st movable body 2 located in a 1st standby position, the 2nd movable body 3 located in a 2nd standby position, and the 3rd movable body 4 located in a 3rd standby position overlap in the front-back direction. Therefore, the space for storing the movable body positioned at these standby positions in the front-rear direction can be reduced. In other words, a limited space in the gaming machine 1 can be used efficiently.

  In the present embodiment, the area occupied by the first movable body 2 located in the first standby position in the front-rear direction, that is, the area S1 where the first movable body 2 is projected along the width direction, and the second position located in the second standby position. The area occupied by the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 located in the third standby position in the front-rear direction, that is, the area S2 projected along the width direction of the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 is at least Some overlap (see FIG. 5). Specifically, a forward protruding portion (for example, a “nose” portion 211 that is a part of a character (see FIG. 5) formed in the approximate center of the first main movable body 21 located at the first standby position. 7))), the area occupied by the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 overlaps. Because of this shape, for example, if the second movable body 3 or the third movable body 4 is prevented from interfering with substantially the entire first movable body 2 and the both movable bodies are stacked in the front-rear direction, The size of the necessary storage space in the front-rear direction is increased, and the second movable body 3 or the third movable body 4 is stored in the front-rear direction so as to be substantially overlapped with the first movable body 2. In this embodiment, if the size of the space for storing these is too small in the front-rear direction, the second movable body 3 or the third movable body 4 may interfere with the first movable body 2. Since the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 stand by in the width direction, a storage space is generated between the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4, and the first movable is placed in the storage space. At least part of the body 2 (projecting from the first movable body 2 Be to house the projecting portion), the size in the longitudinal direction of the required storage space is reduced. That is, it can be said that the space in the width direction is effectively used so that the size of the necessary storage space in the front-rear direction does not become too large.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the 1st movable body 2 has the 1st main movable body 21 and the 1st sub movable body 22, and the 1st main movable body 21 and the 1st sub movable body 22 mutually mutually in a 1st standby position. Most of them overlap in the front-rear direction (at least larger than the overlapping region at the first performance position). As described above, when the first movable body 2 is constituted by two members and stored in the first standby position in the front-rear direction, the space for storing the first movable body 2 becomes larger in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 stand by apart from the straight line L (return to the standby position while leaving the straight line L) where securing the space may be difficult. Therefore, the space between the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 is vacant, and the above space can be secured. From another point of view, since the second movable body 3 and the third movable body 4 are configured to stand by apart from the straight line L, the first movable body 2 has two members (mostly overlapping at the standby position, It can be configured to have two members that spread so that the overlap at the effect position becomes small, and it can be said that the width of the effect is widened.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, in the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the area occupied by the first movable body 2 positioned in the first standby position in the front-rear direction is the area occupied by the second movable body 3 positioned in the second standby position in the front-rear direction.
