  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment and shows an arrangement layout of main members. In addition, in FIG. 1, the effect movable mechanism 50 mentioned later is shown with the broken line. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. The game board 2 is formed with a game area surrounded by guide rails and having a substantially circular outer edge. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the lower right side of the game area). Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs (light emitting diodes) and the like. Special symbols (also referred to as “special graphics”), which are a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) that can be displayed, are variably displayed (variable display). For example, each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B variably displays a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. To do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. However, for example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns in which the combination of the LED to be turned on and the LED to be turned off in the 7-segment LED may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the image display device 5, the first special symbol variable display by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol variable display by the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game respectively correspond to the variable display. For example, in a decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display units such as three, decorative symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed. This variable display of decorative designs is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged in the display area of the image display device 5. And in response to the start of one of the changes in the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game, In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the variation of decorative symbols (for example, vertical scroll display) is started. Thereafter, when the fixed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special symbol game, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 are displayed. Then, the finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the image display device 5, a special game using the first special graphic in the first special symbol display device 4A or a special graphic using the second special graphic in the second special symbol display device 4B is used. In synchronism with the figure game, variable display of a plurality of types of decorative symbols that can be identified is performed, and a definite decorative symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). In addition, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as a special symbol and a decorative symbol means that identification information such as a decorative symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as a complete stop display or a final stop display) and the variable display is ended. . On the other hand, during the variable display from the start of the variable display of the decorative pattern until the fixed decorative pattern that is the variable display result is derived and displayed, the variation speed of the decorative pattern becomes “0”, The symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, for example, in a display state that causes slight shaking or expansion / contraction. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed deterministically, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative pattern due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include displaying the decorative symbols completely stopped for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion / contraction.

  The decorative symbols variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R include, for example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese characters). It may be any combination of numbers, English letters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, letters, symbols, and character images. Character images may be, for example, people, animals, other objects, or , A decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure). A corresponding symbol number is assigned to each of the decorative symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. Note that the number of decorative symbols is not limited to eight, and may be any number as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is lost can be configured (for example, seven types or nine types).

  After the decorative symbol variable display is started, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are displayed until the fixed decorative symbol that is the variable display result is derived and displayed. In FIG. 5, for example, scroll display is performed such that the symbol number sequentially flows from the top to the bottom from the smallest to the largest, and when the decorative symbol having the largest symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, The decorative symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the “left” decorative symbol display area 5L), the symbols are scrolled from the largest symbol number to the smallest symbol symbol. When the decorative design having the smallest number is displayed, the decorative design having the largest design number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the image display device 5, a start winning storage display area 5H is arranged. In the start winning memory display area 5H, a hold memory display for displaying the variable display hold number corresponding to the special figure game (special figure hold memory number) is specified. Here, the variable display suspension corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). That is, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing a variable display game such as a special figure game or a variable display of decorative symbols has been established, but a variable display game based on the previously established start condition is being executed. When the start condition that allows the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done.

  For example, a special game start condition (first start condition) using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A due to the occurrence of the first start prize that the game ball passes (enters) through the first start prize opening. ) Is satisfied, if the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure based on the establishment of the first start condition is not satisfied, the first special figure holding storage number is 1. Addition (increment) is made, and execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. In addition, when the second start winning that the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening is generated, the start condition of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B (second start condition) ) Is established, if the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure based on the establishment of the second start condition is not established, the second special figure holding memory number is 1. Addition (increment) is made, and execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. On the other hand, when the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is started, the first special figure holding memory number is decremented by 1 (decrement), and the special figure game using the second special figure is executed. Is started, the second special figure reserved memory number is decremented by 1 (decremented).

  The variable display hold memory number obtained by adding the first special figure hold memory number and the second special figure hold memory number is also referred to as a total hold memory number. When simply referring to the “number of special figure hold memory”, it usually refers to a concept including any of the first special figure hold memory number, the second special figure hold memory number, and the total hold memory number. It may refer to a concept that includes the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number but excludes the total reserved memory number).

  A display for displaying the number of reserved special figure memories may be provided together with the start winning memory display area 5H or instead of the start winning memory display area 5H. In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the start winning memory display area 5H, the first hold for displaying the special figure hold memory number in an identifiable manner on the upper part of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. Each of the first hold indicator 25A and the second hold indicator 25B has a number (for example, 4) corresponding to an upper limit value (for example, “4”) in each of the first special figure hold memory number and the second special figure hold memory number, for example. LED).

  Below the image display device 5, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

A tulip-shaped accessory (ordinary electric accessory) is provided, and a start area (second start area) and a second start winning opening are formed.

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 27 for the ordinary electric accessory is in the off state, so that the game ball passes (enters) through the second starting winning opening. Do not close. On the other hand, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, when the solenoid 27 for the ordinary electric accessory is in the ON state, the movable wing piece is in the tilted position, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning hole. ) Make it open. The normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is normally opened when the solenoid 27 is in the off state, and the game ball can enter (pass) through the second start winning opening, while the expansion when the solenoid 27 is in the on state. You may comprise so that a game ball may enter (pass) more easily than an open state. As described above, the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B has the first variable state such as the open state or the expanded open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) the second start winning port, and the game ball cannot pass (enters). It is configured to be able to change to a second variable state such as a closed state or a normally open state that is difficult to pass (enter).

  A game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, a first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. A game ball that has passed (entered) a second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, a second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the second start condition is satisfied.

  The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. May be the same number or different numbers. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be one that directly pays out game balls that are prize balls, or may be one that gives a score corresponding to the number of game balls that are prize balls.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a special winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 28 for the special winning opening door shown in FIG. 17, and changes into an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door.

On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 28 for the special prize opening door is in the ON state, the special prize opening door opens the big prize opening, and the game ball passes through the big prize opening (entrance). ). In this way, the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enters) and is disadvantageous to the player To do. Instead of the closed state where the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the big prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball hardly passes (enters) through the big prize port may be provided.

  The game ball that has passed (entered) through the big winning opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, the gaming ball passes through other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the special prize winning opening, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to get a prize ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball into the special prize winning port. This is a disadvantageous second state.

For example, the ROM 121 includes a plurality of determination tables prepared for the effect control CPU 120 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings, table data configuring the determination table, pattern data configuring various effect control patterns, and the like. It is remembered.

  As an example, in the ROM 121, an effect control CPU 120 performs effect operations by various effect devices (for example, the image display device 5, speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp 9, the effect movable mechanism 50, the decoration LED, the effect model, etc.). An effect control pattern table storing a plurality of kinds of effect control patterns used for controlling the effect is stored. The effect control pattern is composed of data indicating the control contents corresponding to various effect operations executed in accordance with the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the effect control pattern table, for example, an effect control pattern at the time of special figure change may be stored.

  The special-control variation production control pattern corresponds to a plurality of types of variation patterns in the period from the start of the variation of the special symbol in the special-sign game until the finalized special symbol that is the special-sign display result is derived and displayed. Further, it is composed of data indicating the control contents of various effect operations such as effect display operation in decorative symbol variable display operation and reach effect, or various effect display operations not accompanied by variable symbol display. Among the special-fluctuation effect production control patterns, for example, a plurality of types of reach production control patterns with different production modes in each reach production may be included for each variation pattern that executes the reach production.

  The effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern (special-figure variation effect control pattern) based on the variation pattern indicated in the variation pattern designation command, for example, when starting variable display of decorative symbols. A command according to the production control pattern set in this way is output from the production control CPU 120 to the display control unit 123, the voice control board 13, the movable member control board 16, and the like. After that, every time the production control process timer value is updated, it is determined whether or not it matches any of the production control process timer judgment values. If they match, the production operation according to the corresponding various control data Control.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a normal symbol display 20 for performing variable display of a normal symbol such that a game ball that has passed through a passing gate 26 provided in the game area has been detected by a gate switch (not shown). After the figure start condition is satisfied, the normal symbol display 20 uses the normal symbol display unit 20 based on the fact that the general symbol start condition for starting the variable symbol normal display, for example, that the previous general symbol game has ended is satisfied. The game starts.

  In this normal game, after the normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time as the normal symbol change time elapses, the fixed normal symbol that is a variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (symbol per symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed normal symbol, the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol is “per symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7” is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol is “ordinary loss”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the normal symbol variable display result is “per standard”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable tulip of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, after the first start condition is satisfied, for example, the game ball that has passed (entered) through the first start winning port formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by a first start port switch (not shown), Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied due to the end of the figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by a second start opening switch (not shown), for example, The special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied due to, for example, the end of the previous special symbol game or the big hit gaming state.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, after the special symbol variable display is started, the variable as the special symbol variation time set every time the special symbol game is performed. When the display time elapses, a fixed special symbol (special symbol display result) that is a variable symbol display result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as a specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes “small hit” as a predetermined display result. Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol, the game is “lost”.

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times. After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the small hit game state is controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and In response to the start of any one of the special symbol games using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B, the decorative symbol variable display is started. The period from the start of variable display of decorative symbols to the end of variable display due to the stop display of the fixed decorative symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R Then, in response to the variable display state of the decorative symbols becoming a predetermined reach state or the reach state, the display operation in the image display device 5, the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp The lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as 9 performs an effect operation different from that before reaching the reach state.

  In this embodiment, for example, when the reach effect is performed, the effect control by the effect moving mechanism 50 is performed according to the special-fluctuation effect control pattern. As an effect operation by the effect moving mechanism 50, the movable members 51 to 54 are rotated by driving and controlling the motors 60A to 60C, and the plurality of light emitters 62 provided on the movable members 51 to 54 are driven and controlled. The effect display is executed.

  As an example of the effect control by the specific effect moving mechanism 50, the movable members 51 and 52 of the upper mechanism 50T are positioned above and the movable members 53 and 54 of the lower mechanism 50B are positioned below and the image display device 5 is positioned. In the visually recognizable state (first state), the display effect is executed in conjunction with the display effect by the image display device 5 using the light emitters 62 of the movable members 51 to 54 visible to the player. Thus, when the movable members 51 to 54 are not rotating (when stopped), only the light emitters 62 that are visible from the front of the gaming machine among the plurality of light emitters 62 are controlled to be turned on. Consumption can be reduced. At this time, for example, characters and symbols are displayed on the movable members 51 to 54, or blinking and colors of the plurality of light emitters 62 are sequentially moved to execute variable display effects in accordance with variable display by the image display device 5. To do. Further, when the reach effect is performed, at least one of the movable members 51 to 54 is moved, or characters and symbols such as “reach” are displayed using the plurality of light emitters 62. Here, when the movable members 51 to 54 are rotating, the display effects are executed by turning on all of the plurality of light emitters 62 regardless of whether or not the movable members 51 to 54 are visible from the front of the gaming machine. As described above, when the movable members 51 to 54 are rotating, all the light emitters 62 are turned on to execute the display effect, whereby the effect of the rotation operation of the movable members 51 to 54 can be increased. . Further, at this time, all of the plurality of light emitters 62 are turned on regardless of whether or not they can be visually recognized from the front of the gaming machine, so that the player can visually recognize the light emitters that have not been turned on by simple control. Can be suppressed. When the movable members 51 to 54 are close to each other (second state), the image display device 5 is in an invisible state. At this time, since the arrangement directions of the plurality of light emitters 62 are the same in each of the movable members 51 to 54, when the integral display effect is executed by the movable members 51 to 54, the display effect is executed in a smooth display format. can do. As an integrated display effect of the movable members 51 to 54, it is possible to display, for example, symbols such as characters, graphics, and symbols, characters and their silhouettes, using the entire display area of the movable members 51 to 54. Here, the integrated display effect of the movable members 51 to 54 in the second state starts the display effect before or during the movement of the movable members 51 to 54 so as to be in the second state. Also good. In this way, it is possible to execute an effect in which the display is gradually integrated as the movable members 51 to 54 rotate. Further, the image display device 5 ends (suspends) the display at a predetermined timing when the movable members 51 to 54 rotate, or displays until the movement of the movable members 51 to 54 ends. Thus, the display may be terminated (interrupted) when the movement of the movable members 51 to 54 is completed.

  In addition, as the display effect by the effect movable member 50, the rotation of the movable members 51 to 54 is stopped and returned to the original state, or at least one of the movable members 51 to 54 is vibrated at the midway position of the rotation. May be. As described above, when the movable members 51 to 54 are stopped at the midway position of the rotation, it is assumed that the movable members 51 to 54 are stopped, and the display effect is provided using only the light emitters 62 that are visible from the front of the gaming machine. It may be executed, or as a part of the operation process of the movable members 51 to 54, display effects may be executed by turning on all the light emitters 62 regardless of whether or not they can be viewed from the front of the gaming machine.

  In the production operation using the production movable mechanism 50 in the reach production, the production pattern may be determined in advance so that the production operation with a high production effect is performed as the reach production with a high degree of expectation of the big hit. For example, when the normal reach effect is performed, only one to three of the movable members 51 to 54 are rotated, and when the super reach effect is performed, the movable members 51 to 54 are operated so as to be in the second state. Also good.

  The production operation using the production movable mechanism 50 is not limited to these examples, and various productions that can be realized by driving the motors 60A to 60C of the production movable mechanism 50 and the plurality of light emitters 62. It is sufficient that the operation is adopted. Further, in an effect other than the reach effect, an effect operation using the effect moving mechanism 50 may be performed. For example, unlike the reach effect, the variable display state of the decorative symbol may indicate that the variable display state of the decorative symbol may become the reach state, or that the variable display result may be a “hit”, etc. In the variable display effect for informing the player by means of this, an effect operation using the effect movable mechanism 50 may be performed, and there is a possibility that the variable display state of the decorative pattern becomes a reach state by normal reach, The effect movable mechanism 50 is used in a notice effect for informing a player in advance that there is a possibility that a reach effect by super reach may be executed and that a variable display result may be a “hit”. An effect operation using the effect movable mechanism 50 may be performed in the big hit effect. In the production operation using the production movable mechanism 50, the rotation speeds of the motors 60A to 60B may be changed for each production operation.

  In this embodiment, when the customer waiting demonstration is executed, the display effect is executed with the plurality of movable members 51 to 54 of the effect movable mechanism 50 being brought close to each other (second state). Thereby, the movable members 51 to 54 are positioned on the front surface of the image display device 5 so that the display effect by the effect moving mechanism 50 can be conspicuous, and the effect of the customer waiting demonstration can be improved.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment described above, a plurality of light emitters 62 are provided in a matrix on each of the movable members 51 and 52 of the upper mechanism 50T and the movable members 53 and 54 of the lower mechanism 50B. When the movable members 51 and 52 of the upper mechanism 50 and the movable members 53 and 54 of the lower mechanism 50B are separated from each other (first state), the arrangement direction of the plurality of light emitters 62 of the movable members 51 to 54 is set. On the other hand, when the movable members 51 and 52 of the upper mechanism 50 and the movable members 53 and 54 of the lower mechanism 50B are close to each other (second state), the plurality of light emitters of the movable members 51 to 54 Since the arrangement directions of 62 match, the effect of the effect moving mechanism 50 can be improved by moving the movable members 51 to 54 provided with the plurality of light emitters 62, and the movable part. It can impart a sense of unity in a state where each of the 51 to 54 is close to the effect in the movable members 51 to 54.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, when the lighting control of the plurality of light emitters 62 provided on the movable members 51 to 54 is performed, when the movable members 51 to 54 are not rotated, When only the light emitters 62 visible from the front of the gaming machine among the light emitters 62 are controlled to be turned and the movable members 51 to 54 are rotated, a plurality of light emitters are displayed regardless of whether they are visible from the front of the gaming machine. Since the lighting control is performed for all of 62, it is possible to prevent the player from visually recognizing the light emitter that has not been subjected to the lighting control by simple control.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, when the movable members 51 and 52 of the upper mechanism 50T are located at the lowest position and the movable members 53 and 54 of the lower mechanism 50B are located at the highest position, the upper mechanism 50T. The movable member 52 of the lower mechanism 50B and the movable member 53 of the lower mechanism 50B are close to each other, and an integrated display effect is executed using the plurality of light emitters 62 of the movable members 51 to 54, so that an effective effect can be executed. it can.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the visibility of the image display device 5 changes depending on the positions of the movable members 51 to 54, so that the effects using the movable members 51 to 54 and the image display device 5 are monotonous. However, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the partition bodies 510 formed in a lattice shape in front of the plurality of light emitters 62 of the movable members 51 to 54 so as to partition each of the plurality of light emitters 62. ˜540 are provided, each of the plurality of light emitters 62 can be easily partitioned, and the material of the partitions 510 and 520, the thickness of the portion partitioning each light emitter 62, and the like can be changed. Accordingly, the luminance of the light emitter 62 can be reduced, and the light from the light emitter 62 can be diffusely reflected.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, front plates 511 to 541 for decorating the movable members 51 to 54 are provided on the front surfaces of the partitions 510 to 540 of the movable members 51 to 54. Each of the light emitters 511 to 541 has a translucent shape in which a metal thin film layer is formed on the surface with aluminum or the like and reflects light from the outside and transmits light from the inside. Even when not, the appearance (appearance) of the movable members 51 and 52 can be improved.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the movable members 51 to 54 are in the second state, the effect movable mechanism 50 has the movable members 51 to 54 positioned in front of the image display device 5 so that the image display device 5 can be visually recognized. Although it becomes impossible, a part of the image display device 5 can be visually recognized even when the movable members 51 to 54 are in the second state, or the movable members 51 to 54 can visually recognize the image display device 5. It does not have to be disturbed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the production movable mechanism 50 includes the four movable members 51 to 54, but may include two or three movable members, or may include five or more movable members. Also good. Further, as in the above-described production movable mechanism 50, the movable member is not limited to one in which at least two movable members are overlapped and at least two movable members are moved to a separated position and a close position. It may be one that operates at a position where the two movable members do not overlap, or one that operates to change between a position where the two movable members overlap and a position where they do not overlap.
