JP2011-50659A

  There is a problem that if the rotating body is simply rotated, the movement is monotonous and quickly bored.

  An object of the present invention is to improve the preference of performance using a rotating body in a gaming machine including the rotating body.

A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above problems is a drive source, a first rotating body that is rotated by the driving source, and a rotating body that is rotated by the driving source, the first rotating body. And a second rotating body having a rear decoration portion that is visible from the front without overlapping with the first rotating body or through the first rotating body, and a driving amount of the drive source The amount of rotation of the first rotating body is set to be different from the amount of rotation of the second rotating body, and the rotation direction of the rear decoration portion relative to the first rotating body by driving the drive source The first rotating body is formed with a transmitting portion that is made of a light-transmitting material or is cut out and at least partially overlaps the second rotating body. The second rotating body includes a plurality of types of the Side decorative portion are provided, characterized in that the rotational position of the first rotating body is configured every time a predetermined position, the type of the rear decorative portion to be visible through the transmissive portion is switched And

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, since the rotation amount of the first rotating body and the rotation amount of the second rotating body per unit driving amount of the driving source are set to be different, the driving source is driven. As a result, the relative positions of the first rotating body and the rear decoration portion relative to the first rotating body are displaced. That is, since various production forms in which the position of the rear decoration portion with respect to the first rotator is variously changed can be constructed, it is possible to improve the preference of the production using the rotator.

Further, it is possible to construct a portion of the second rotating member that is visible from the transparently parts, the effect form as a first rotating body are combined.

Further, since the side decorative portion is switched after visible from transparently parts, it is possible to enhance the taste of the produce. Specifically, by to have a meaning or the like to each rear decorative portion that is visible from the transparently parts, it is possible to increase variation of the effect.

  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) the game area 902, and the front-rear direction is a direction orthogonal to the game area 902 (the player side is the front and the opposite side is the rear). The left-right direction (width direction) refers to the left-right direction in FIG. 1, and the up-down direction refers to the up-down direction in FIG.

  First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a strip-shaped guide rail 903 made of a thin metal plate for guiding a game ball fired by the operation of the launcher to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. Is provided.

  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 an identification symbol, a normal symbol, or the like is displayed on a 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 a launching device (not shown). 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 is a so-called pachinko gaming machine, but may be other types of gaming machines such as a slot machine.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes an effect device 1a provided behind the game board and at the lower right of the opening 901. Hereinafter, the configuration of the rendering device 1a will be specifically described. The rendering device 1a shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 includes a drive source 10, a first rotating body 20, a second rotating body 30, and a partition member 40.

  The drive source 10 is a power source for rotating the first rotator 20 and the second rotator 30 described later in detail. The drive source 10 in this embodiment is a motor. In the present embodiment, one drive source 10 rotates both the first rotator 20 and the second rotator 30. The power of the drive source 10 is transmitted to the first rotator 20 via the first transmission train, and is transmitted to the second rotator 30 via the second transmission train. The drive source 10 and the gears constituting each transmission train are supported by the base member 11 located behind the second rotating body 30. The configuration of both transmission trains in this embodiment is as follows (both transmission trains are shown in FIG. 4).

  The second transmission train includes a plurality of gears. Specifically, a first gear 51, a second gear 52, and a ring gear 53 are included. A first gear 51, which is a spur gear, meshes with a second gear 52, which is a spur gear. The second gear 52 meshes with the large-diameter tooth portion 531 (external teeth) of the ring gear 53. The power of the drive source 10 is transmitted to the ring gear 53 via the first gear 51 and the second gear 52. The second rotating body 30 is fixed to the ring gear 53, and the second rotating body 30 rotates as the ring gear 53 rotates.

  The first transmission train includes a plurality of gears. Specifically, a first gear 51, a second gear 52, a ring gear 53, a relay gear 54, and an output gear 55 are included. The first gear 51 and the second gear 52 are gears constituting the first transmission train and also the gears constituting the second transmission train. The ring gear 53 is provided with a small-diameter tooth portion 532 (inner teeth) having a smaller diameter (smaller pitch circle diameter) than the large-diameter tooth portion 531, and the relay gear 54 meshes with the small-diameter tooth portion 532. The relay gear 54 meshes with an output gear 55 that has the same rotation center as the ring gear 53. It can be said that a planetary gear mechanism (however, the relay gear 54 does not revolve) is constructed in which the small-diameter tooth portion 532 is an internal gear, the relay gear 54 is a planetary gear, and the output gear 55 is a sun gear.

  The power of the drive source 10 is transmitted to the ring gear 53 via the first gear 51 and the second gear 52, whereby the ring gear 53 rotates. When the ring gear 53 rotates, that is, when the small-diameter tooth portion 532 rotates, the relay gear 54 meshed with the ring gear rotates (rotates) without changing the position of the rotation center axis. When the relay gear 54 rotates, the output gear 55 meshed with it rotates. The first rotary body 20 is fixed to the output gear 55, and the first rotary body 20 rotates as the output gear 55 rotates.

  In this embodiment, it is set so that “the reduction ratio of the first transmission train: the reduction ratio of the second transmission train = 3: 1”. That is, when the drive source 10 is driven, both the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30 rotate around the same rotation center axis, but every time the first rotating body 20 rotates once (360 degrees rotation). The second rotating body 30 is set to rotate 1/3 (120 degrees). When the first rotator 20 rotates three times, the second rotator 30 rotates once. Thus, if the rotation amount of the first rotary body 20 per unit drive amount of the drive source 10 and the rotation amount of the second rotary body 30 are set to be different, the configuration of both transmission trains can be changed as appropriate. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the 1st rotary body 20 and the 2nd rotary body 30 are disk-shaped members provided so that it might mutually overlap in the front-back direction along a plane direction. The first rotating body 20 is a disk-shaped member provided in front of the second rotating body 30. As described above, the rotation centers of the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30 are the same. Further, the size of the first rotating body 20 and the size of the second rotating body 30 are substantially the same. The first rotator 20 is provided with a first transmission part 21. The 1st transmission part 21 in this embodiment is a part formed with the light transmissive material. That is, what is located behind can be visually recognized through the first transmission part 21. The first transmission part 21 has a substantially fan shape with a central angle of about 120 degrees. The 1st transmission part 21 should just visually recognize what is located in the back which overlaps with the 1st transmission part 21. FIG. That is, a part of the first rotating body 20 may be cut out (including a through hole), and the cutout part may be used as the first transmission part 21.

  Moreover, the front decoration part 22 is formed in the front surface of at least one part other than the location in which the 1st transmission part 21 in the 1st rotary body 20 was formed. In the present embodiment, the part other than the first transmission part 21 is the front decoration part 22. That is, the front decoration part 22 in the present embodiment has a fan shape with a central angle of 240 degrees. Any method may be used to form the front decorative portion 22. The first rotating body 20 itself may be formed by coloring, or may be formed by attaching a seal or the like to the first rotating body 20. Unlike the first transmission part 21, the part located behind the front decoration part 22 is not visible.

  The second rotating body 30 is a disk-shaped member provided behind the first rotating body 20. Rear decorative portions 31 to 33 are formed on the front surface of the second rotating body 30. In the second rotating body 30 in the present embodiment, three types of rear decoration parts (first rear decoration part 31, second rear decoration part 32, and third rear decoration part 33) are formed. Each of the rear decorative portions 31 to 33 has a fan shape with a central angle of 120 degrees. Each of the rear decoration portions 31 to 33 in the present embodiment includes words, figures, and the like that suggest a probability (so-called jackpot reliability) that the success / failure determination is a jackpot. As long as the player can recognize that the modes are different, the modes of the rear decoration portions 31 to 33 may be any.

  The partition member 40 is a member provided on the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30. The first rotating body 20 is positioned in front of the partition member 40, and the second rotating body 30 is positioned behind the partition member 40. A second transmission part 41 is formed in the partition member 40. The 2nd permeation | transmission part 41 in this embodiment is a notch part (a through-hole is included). The partition member 40 is formed by cutting out a part of a disk-like portion whose center is substantially the same as that of the first rotating body 20 or the second rotating body 30 in a fan shape. The second transmission part 41 in the present embodiment has a substantially fan shape with a central angle of about 120 degrees. That is, the shapes of the first transmission part 21 and the second transmission part 41 are substantially the same. The second transmission part 41 only needs to be able to visually recognize what is positioned behind the second transmission part 41 (a part of the second rotating body 30). That is, you may form the 2nd permeation | transmission part 41 by comprising a part of division member 40 with a permeable material. The partition member 40 itself is formed of a material that has almost no light transmittance. Therefore, the part other than the part where the second transmission part 41 is formed in the partition member 40 is a part (hereinafter referred to as a shielding part 42) having a light transmittance lower than that of the second transmission part 41. The shielding part 42 in the present embodiment has a substantially fan shape with a central angle of about 240 degrees.

  Unlike the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30, the partition member 40 is not displaced (rotated). A rotating shaft that supports the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30 is supported by the partition member 40. The partition member 40 is also a portion on which a resistance applying member 60, which will be described in detail later, is supported (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  The operation (operation) of the rendering device 1a configured as described above will be described. Of the first rotary body 20, the partition member 40, and the second rotary body 30 that overlap with the same central axis, the front decorative portion 22 of the first rotary body 20 positioned at the forefront is the second transmission portion 41 of the partition member 40. The second rotating body 30 located behind the partition member 40 cannot be visually recognized or is difficult to visually recognize. Specifically, since the second transmission part 41 is covered by the front decoration part 22 and the shielding part 42 is located behind the first transmission part 21, the second transmission part 41 can be visually recognized through each transmission part in the second rotating body 30. There is no part. That is, only the front decoration portion 22 is visible (see FIGS. 2 and 5A). In the present embodiment, this state is set as the basic state. The production device 1a is in such a basic state in most of the game.

  When the drive source 10 is driven from the basic state and the first rotating body 20 is rotated about 180 degrees, the first transmitting portion 21 of the first rotating body 20 and the second transmitting portion 41 of the partition member 40 overlap. By being in such a state, a part of the second rotating body 30 can be visually recognized through a portion where both transmission portions overlap, that is, a fan-shaped portion having a central angle of approximately 120 degrees. In this embodiment, when the 1st permeation | transmission part 21 and the 2nd permeation | transmission part 41 will be in the state which overlapped, among the several types of back side decoration parts 31-33 formed in the 2nd rotary body 30 in both permeation | transmission parts Are set to overlap. That is, any one of the plurality of types of rear decorative portions 31 to 33 is in a state that can be visually recognized through both transmission portions (see FIGS. 5B to 5D).

  As described above, when the first rotator 20 is rotated once (rotated 360 degrees) from the state where the first transmissive portion 21 and the second transmissive portion 41 overlap, the first transmissive portion 21 and the second transmissive portion 41 again. Will be overlapped. However, as described above, in this embodiment, the second rotating body 30 is set to rotate 1/3 (120 degrees) every time the first rotating body 20 rotates once (360 degrees). Therefore, the rear decoration parts 31 to 33 that are visible when the first rotary body 20 is rotated once are visible before the first rotary body 20 is rotated once. Different from ~ 33. That is, the rotation amount of the first rotator 20 and the second rotator 30 per unit drive amount of the drive source 10 is different (the rotation amount of the second rotator 30 is 1/3 of the rotation amount of the first rotator 20). Therefore, it is possible to switch the types of the rear decoration parts 31 to 33 that can be visually recognized through both transmission parts.

  Specifically, in the rendering device 1a according to the present embodiment, as a state where any one of the rear decoration portions 31 to 33 is visible, a first state where the first rear decoration portion 31 is visible (FIG. 5). (B)), a second state in which the second rear decoration part 32 is visible (see FIGS. 5C to 5D), and a third state in which the third rear decoration part 33 is visible. States (see FIG. 5D) are set, and these states can be switched and controlled. More specifically, the four states of the first state to the third state and the basic state (see FIG. 5A) can be switched and controlled. The first state to the third state are switched every time the first rotating body 20 is rotated 360 degrees, and the basic state is the first state to rotate the first rotating body 20 180 degrees from any of the first to third states. Can be set.

  In the present embodiment, the rendering device 1a configured as described above is provided behind a game board made of a light-transmitting material (see FIG. 1). Specifically, a part of the upper side of the first rotary body 20, the partition member 40, and the second rotary body 30 is a portion with a high rear visibility of the game board (such as a game nail and various winning holes, etc. It is provided so that at least a part of the upper side of the first rotary body 20 located at the foremost position among these can be visually recognized through the part with high rear visibility. On the other hand, a part of the lower side of the first rotary body 20, the partition member 40, and the second rotary body 30 has a portion with low visibility behind the game board (such as a game nail and various winning holes such as members that block the view). Therefore, it is easier to visually recognize a member located on the rear side of the region overlapping the portion having higher rear visibility than the region overlapping the portion having lower rear visibility. That is, the upper part of the first rotating body 20 is easier to visually recognize than the other part (lower part).

  Any method may be used for setting the visibility. For example, the upper part of the first rotary body 20, the partition member 40, and the second rotary body 30 is not overlapped with the game board, but can be viewed as it is through the opening formed in the game board. The lower part of the first rotating body 20, the partition member 40, and the second rotating body 30 overlaps with the game board, and therefore may have a configuration inferior in visibility (or not visible at all) as compared with the upper side.

  When the stage device 1a is in the basic state, the front decoration portion 22 of the first rotating body 20 is positioned on the upper side, so that the front decoration portion 22 can be seen through a portion with high rear visibility. In this embodiment, it shows that the production | presentation state by the production | presentation apparatus 1a is a basic state (normal state) when it exists in the state which can visually recognize the front side decoration part 22. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, when the production device 1a is in the first state to the third state which is not the basic state, a specific production (the production indicating that the so-called jackpot reliability has been increased) is performed by the production device 1a. It will be. In the present embodiment, the first rear decoration portion 31 includes characters “continuation”, the second rear decoration portion 32 includes characters “chance”, and the third rear decoration portion 33. Includes the letters “extreme heat” (see FIGS. 3 and 5B to 5D).

  The first rear decoration unit 31 is used for continuous production. Since the continuous effect is a well-known technique, a detailed description thereof is omitted, but as the continuous effect, a pseudo continuous effect or a hold continuous effect can be exemplified. The quasi-continuous production is one or a plurality of times that the identification symbol for notifying the result of the determination of the success / failure by the combination is changed once or more after being pseudo-stopped when notifying the determination of a certain result. The on-hold continuous effect is an effect in which an effect informing a certain determination of success / failure is continued from an effect informing one or more previous / unsuccessful determinations (indicating “continuation”). (For example, the background color may be blue, green, red, etc.). The pseudo-continuous production and the hold continuous production increase the probability that the result of the determination is a big hit (so-called jackpot reliability). ) In the case of a continuous continuous production, the number of consecutive times (when a certain determination of success / failure is notified, X is continuous when the continuity of the effect is maintained from the effect of notifying the determination of success / failure before X times) The probability that the result of determination of success / failure will be a big hit varies depending on the number of times. Therefore, in this type of continuous production, the player is paying attention to whether the production occurs and whether the production continues.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the characters “continuation” included in the first rear decoration portion 31 are included in at least a part of when the production occurs in such a continuous production or when the production continues. This indicates to the player that the event occurs. That is, the rendering device 1a may be in the first state at least partially when the rendering occurs in the continuous rendering or when the rendering continues.

  On the other hand, the second state and the third state suggest a probability that the determination of success or failure is a big hit (so-called jackpot reliability). The jackpot reliability when the third state is executed is higher than the jackpot reliability when the second state is executed. The jackpot reliability (hit probability) of each state can be set as appropriate.

  Each state may be switched in a series of effects. For example, after suggesting that the continuous production is to be continued in the first state, it is sometimes suggested that the second state or the third state is expected to be a big hit. When the state is switched in this way, it is necessary to rotate the first rotating body 20 by 360 degrees or more. Moreover, when the 1st rotary body 20 which was in a basic state rotates, a player expects that it may stop in either a 1st state-a 3rd state. When the first rotating body 20 is rotated at a certain speed or higher, the second rotating body 30 is rotated, and the front decoration part 22 is also in a state of covering the second transmitting part 41. It is difficult to see if the rear decoration parts 31 to 33 are likely to stop. That is, since it is difficult to determine which state will be until the drive source 10 stops, it is possible to draw interest in the production to the end.

  Note that the use of the basic state, the first state to the third state for the production is merely an example. Each rear decoration part 31-33 may not be a thing containing a character but what expresses only a decoration effect etc. may be sufficient. Any one of the first state to the third state, that is, a state in which any one of the rear decorative portions 31 to 33 can be visually recognized may be set as a basic state (a state in which the jackpot reliability is low). A state in which none of the rear decorative portions 31 to 33 can be visually recognized and the front decorative portion 22 can be visually recognized may be a specific state (a state in which the jackpot reliability is increased). The first rotating body 20 rotates from the basic state and returns to the basic state as if it changes from the first state to the third state, and the first rotation from any of the first state to the third state. An effect such as the body 20 rotating and changing to one of the first state to the third state (stepping up to a state where more big hits can be expected) and returning to the basic state occurs. Possible settings are also possible.

  As described above, the rendering device 1a according to the present embodiment is set so that the rotation amount of the first rotating body 20 and the rotation amount of the second rotating body 30 per unit driving amount of the driving source 10 are different from each other. By driving the source 10, the relative positions of the first rotating body 20 and the rear decoration parts 31 to 33 are displaced. That is, since various production forms in which the positions of the rear decoration parts 31 to 33 with respect to the first rotary body 20 are variously changed can be constructed, it is possible to improve the preference of the production using the rotary body. .

  In addition, the rendering device 1a according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the first transmission part 21 is formed in the first rotator 20 and a part of the second rotator 30 is visible from the first opening. It is possible to construct an effect form in which a part of the second rotator 30 visible from the first transmission part 21 and the first rotator 20 are combined.

  Moreover, since the front decoration part 22 is provided in places other than the part in which the 1st permeation | transmission part 21 in the 1st rotary body 20 was formed, it does not show the 2nd rotary body 30, but the said front decoration part It is possible to execute an effect that emphasizes 22 (basic state in the present embodiment).

  And since the production | presentation apparatus 1a in this embodiment is the structure by which the rear decoration parts 31-33 which can be visually recognized from the 1st permeation | transmission part 21 are switched, it is possible to improve the preference of production. Specifically, it is possible to increase the variation of effects by giving meanings and the like to the rear decoration portions 31 to 33 that can be visually recognized from the first transmission portion 21.

  Moreover, it is also possible to provide the partition member 40 between the 1st rotary body 20 and the 2nd rotary body 30 like this embodiment. The partition member 40 may be provided with a second transmission part 41 that allows a part of the second rotating body 30 to be visually recognized when overlapping with the first transmission part 21.

  The partition member 40 is provided with a shielding part 42 having a light transmittance lower than that of the second transmission part 41, so that the part other than the part that can be visually recognized through the second transmission part 41 in the second rotating body 30. Is covered with the shielding part 42, it is possible to emphasize a portion that can be visually recognized through the first transmission part 21 and the second transmission part 41.

  A resistance imparting member 60 is provided in the rendering device 1a that exhibits such a rendering effect (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The resistance applying member 60 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of at least one of the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30. The resistance applying member 60 in the present embodiment is provided so as to contact the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 20. The resistance applying member 60 is a roller that is urged toward the first rotating body 20 by the urging member 61. Accordingly, when the first rotating body 20 rotates, the resistance applying member 60 that is a roller also rotates due to the frictional force between the first rotating body 20 and the resistance applying member 60.

  A concave portion 23 slightly depressed toward the center is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 20 with which the resistance applying member 60 contacts (see FIGS. 2 and 3). When the first rotating body 20 rotates and the recess 23 reaches the position where the resistance applying member 60 is provided, the resistance applying member 60 biased toward the first rotating body 20 by the biasing member 61 is recessed 23. Get inside. When this state (hereinafter also referred to as an engaged state) is reached, the resistance force of the resistance applying member 60 given to the rotation of the first rotating body 20 is maximized.

  The recessed part 23 in this embodiment is a shape (bottom part) where the center of the bottom was most depressed. That is, the shape is inclined from the side edge of the recess 23 toward the bottom. The bottom (tip) is a smooth curved surface. It can be said that the concave portion 23 has a substantially “V” shape with a smooth curved tip (may be an arc shape). In addition, the boundary between the side edge of the recess 23 and the non-depressed arc surface 24 on the outer peripheral surface has a shape that is connected by a smooth curved surface. In other words, the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 20 does not have an edge generated by forming the recess 23, and the arc surface 24 and the inner surface of the recess 23 are continuous with a smooth curved surface. (See FIG. 6 etc.).

  In this embodiment, the recessed part 23 is formed in the position which will be in the said engagement state when the 1st rotary body 20 will be in any one of a basic state or a 1st state-a 3rd state. That is, the first concave portion 231 into which the resistance applying member 60 is fitted when the basic state is reached, and any one of the first state to the third state (even in any state of the first rotating body 20). A second recess 232 into which the resistance applying member 60 is fitted when the rotational direction position (circumferential direction position is the same) is formed. In the present embodiment, the difference (phase difference) between the rotational direction position of the first rotator 20 when in the basic state and the rotational direction position of the first rotator 20 when in any of the first state to the third state. ) Is 180 degrees, the first concave portion 231 and the second concave portion 232 are located at positions facing each other (a position where the rotation center of the first rotating body 20 is located on a straight line connecting the bottoms of the two concave portions 23). (See FIG. 6 etc.).

  When the rendering device 1 a is in the basic state, the resistance applying member 60 is engaged with the first recess 231. If the drive source 10 is driven from there and the 1st rotary body 20 rotates, the resistance provision member 60 engaged with the 1st recessed part 231 will come out from the inside of the 1st recessed part 231. FIG. Since the arcuate surface 24 and the inner surface of the recess 23 are continuous with a smooth curved surface, and the resistance applying member 60 itself is also rotatable, the resistance applying member 60 is removed from the first recess 231. Further, the resistance applied to the first rotating body 20 is small. When the first rotating body 20 rotates 180 + 360 × n (n is a natural number including 0) degrees from the basic state, the resistance applying member 60 is engaged with the second recess 232. Even if the position of the first rotating body 20 is slightly shifted due to a control error of the driving amount of the driving source 10 or a backlash of a gear that transmits the power of the driving source 10, the resistance applying member 60 remains in the first rotating body 20. Since the resistance applying member 60 pushes the inclined surface of the second recess 232 (see FIG. 8A), the first rotating body 20 is slightly rotated, and the second recess 232 It is located at the bottom (see FIG. 8B). Thus, the 1st rotary body 20 is located in the rotation direction position which comprises the state in any one of a 1st state-a 3rd state. As described above, since the gears constituting the first transmission train and the gears constituting the second transmission train are partially in common, the rotational direction position of the first rotating body 20 becomes the correct position. The rotational direction position of the two-rotor 30 is also the correct position.

  Similarly, when the first rotating body 20 rotates 180 + 360 × n (n is a natural number including 0) from the state in which the resistance applying member 60 is engaged with the second recessed portion 232, the resistance applying member 60 is moved to the first recessed portion. By fitting in 231, the first rotating body 20 is positioned at the rotational direction position constituting the basic state. In accordance with this, the second rotating body 30 is also positioned at the rotational direction position constituting the basic state. As described above, the resistance applying member 60 functions to position the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30 at accurate positions constituting the basic state and the first state to the third state.

  The resistance applying member 60 in the present embodiment is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 20, but may be provided so as to be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 30. This is because, in the present embodiment, by restricting the rotation amount (rotational direction position) of one rotary body, the rotational amount (rotation direction position) of the other rotary body can be automatically regulated. . However, having the resistance applying member 60 in contact with the first rotating body 20 has the following advantages.

  In the present embodiment, the first rotating body 20 is stopped at one of two rotational direction positions, ie, the rotational direction position constituting the basic state and the rotational direction position constituting the first state to the third state. Therefore, what is necessary is just to form the two recessed parts 23 (The 1st recessed part 231 and the 2nd recessed part 232). On the other hand, the second rotating body 30 is stopped at any one of the three rotation direction positions constituting at least each of the first state to the third state (even if the rotation direction position as the basic state is added). In that case, if the concave portion 23 is formed in the second rotating body 30, three or more concave portions 23 must be formed. That is, the amount of rotation (angular velocity) per unit driving amount of the driving source 10 is larger than that of the second rotating body 30, and a state (basic state and first state to third state) that expresses a predetermined effect is configured. The concave portion 23 is formed by forming the concave portion 23 in which the resistance applying member 60 is engaged with the first rotary body 20 having a smaller number of rotational direction positions than the second rotary body 30. Can be reduced. If the number of the recessed portions 23 to be formed is small (as compared with the case where the number of the recessed portions 23 is large), the resistance given to the rotating body rotating the resistance applying member 60 can be reduced.

  As described above, the rendering device 1a according to the present embodiment is provided with the resistance applying member 60 that provides resistance to the rotation of at least one of the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30, and thus the drive mechanism. It is possible to prevent the rotational direction positions of the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30 (rear side decorative portions 31 to 33) from being shifted due to the backlash of the gears constituting the.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the 1st rotary body 20 is located in the rotation direction position which comprises the state (basic state and 1st state-3rd state) which expresses a predetermined production effect, the resistance provision member 60 fits. Since the recessed portion 23 to be stuck is formed, the effect of suppressing the shift in the rotational direction position is high. In other words, if a resistance applying member 60 that provides resistance to rotation of at least one of the first rotating body 20 and the second rotating body 30 is provided (even if the recess 23 is not formed), a certain degree of position regulation is performed. Although the effect is exhibited, if the recess 23 into which the resistance applying member 60 is fitted is formed as in the present embodiment, the position regulation effect can be further enhanced.

  And since the part (arc surface 24) in which the recessed part 23 is not formed, and the surface inside the recessed part 23 are formed so that it may continue on a curved surface, the resistance provision member 60 fits into the recessed part 23, or The resistance imparted to the rotation of the rotating body when the resistance applying member 60 fitted in the recess 23 comes out of the recess 23 can be reduced. That is, it is possible to prevent the rotation of the rotating body from being significantly hindered by the resistance applying member 60.

  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.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the second rotating body 30c is provided with a rear decoration portion 31c that is visible from the front without overlapping the first rotating body 20c. With this configuration, it is possible to provide an effect device in which the rotational direction position of the rear decoration portion 31c with respect to the first rotating body 20c changes (displaces) by driving the drive source. The position in the rotation direction of the rear decoration portion 31c relative to the first rotating body 20c is not determined, and an infinite number of presentation forms in which both rotating bodies are combined may be configured (a configuration that is controlled steplessly). And the rotation direction position of the rear decoration part 31c with respect to the 1st rotary body 20c is decided, and it is good also as a structure which can construct | assemble the several production | presentation form with which both rotary bodies were combined.

  The configuration shown in FIG. 8 includes an “arrow” (or a shape simulating an “arrow”) such that the rear decoration portion 31c faces the first rotary body 20c. A plurality of front decoration portions 22c each having a fan shape are provided on the surface. Each front decoration portion 22c includes a word or character that suggests information related to the game. Depending on which front decoration part 22c the rear decoration part 31c including the “arrow” points to indicates the progress of the game and the expectation degree of jackpot, etc., it is performed as if “roulette” is being performed It is possible. In this case, if the front surface of the first rotating body 20c is configured by a display device, and the ratio (area ratio) of each front decoration portion 22c can be changed each time, it is possible to further enhance the taste of the production. Is possible.

The aspect of each decoration part in the above embodiment, the shape of each transmission part, and the like can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, it is good also as what can comprise the front decoration part 22 of the 1st rotary body 20, and each rear decoration part 31-33 of the 2nd rotary body 30 with a display apparatus, and a decoration aspect can change variously. Moreover, the 1st transmission part 21 and the 2nd transmission part 41 are comprised by the transmissive display apparatus (illumination panel etc.) in which the area | region where the image is not displayed has a light transmittance, and the said 1st state-a 3rd state In any state, an image is not displayed on the first transmission part 21 or the second transmission part 41, and an effect state in which the rear decoration parts 31 to 33 can be visually recognized in the same state, and the first transmission part 21 or the second transmission part 21 By displaying an image on the transmission part 41, it is good also as a structure which can switch-control the production | presentation state in which the said image overlaps the back side decoration parts 31-33 .
