  The present invention relates to gaming machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines.

  In general, a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a pachislot machine is provided with an operation unit on the front side for accepting a player's operation. As the operation unit, Patent Document 1 discloses a switch device that stops the rotation of a reel of a slot machine (pachislot).

  This switch device includes a pressing body having an elliptical shape in front view, a switch case that accommodates the pressing body so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and a substrate on which a light emitter and an optical sensor are provided. . The pressing body includes a pressing operation unit including a cylindrical lid that forms an operation surface for performing a switch operation, and an inner cylinder into which the pressing operation unit is fitted.

  An insertion hole for accommodating the light emitter is formed at the bottom of the inner cylinder, and the light emitter inserted through the insertion hole can be disposed in the internal space of the pressing body. The light shielding piece for detecting the movement of the pressing body by the optical sensor is formed in a band plate shape in which a part of the end of the side surface of the inner cylinder is extended. The substrate on which the light emitter and the optical sensor are mounted is fitted in the switch case.

  Further, in this switch device, the light emitting body illuminates the internal space of the pressing body, so that the surface side of the pressing body can be illuminated, and the player is notified of the operation time of the pressing body. When the pressing body is pressed by the player and the pressing body moves in the switch case, the optical sensor detects the movement of the light shielding piece and stops the rotation of the reel.

  However, as in the switch device described in Patent Document 1, when the light emitter is inserted into the internal space from the center of the bottom side of the pressing body, the light shielding piece is the side surface of the inner cylinder that is off the center position of the pressing body. It is necessary to form in one site on the side. As a result, depending on which part on the surface of the pressing body is pressed, that is, whether the part on the side where the light shielding piece is formed is pressed, or the part on the side where the light shielding piece is not formed is pressed. Therefore, a difference occurs in the moving amount of the light shielding piece. And when the site | part by which the light-shielding piece is not formed is pressed with respect to a press body, the movement amount of a light-shielding piece will become small and the case where a movement of a light-shielding piece cannot be detected with an optical sensor may arise.

  Further, if the light shielding piece is disposed at the center position side of the pressing body where the light emitter is disposed, the shielding piece and the insertion hole are arranged in a close relationship, and the insertion hole There is a risk that the optical sensor may malfunction due to light emitted from the light emitter.

  Further, the board on which the light emitting unit and the optical sensor are mounted exists as an attack target in the illegal act. Therefore, it is required to prevent unauthorized contact with the substrate.

  In addition, a cover part that covers the front surface of the switch case is provided, but the cover part is illegally removed from the front door to contact the board in the switch case illegally, or through holes formed in the cover part, In other words, from the state where the pressing operation part is extracted from the insertion hole through which the pressing operation part can be freely inserted and retracted and the inside of the insertion hole is exposed, an illegal act such as illegally contacting the board in the switch case is performed. May be.

  The main ROM 94 stores a control program executed by the main CPU 93, a data table, data for transmitting various control commands (commands) to the sub control circuit 101, and the like. The main RAM 95 is provided with a storage area for storing various data such as an internal winning combination determined by execution of the control program.

  The main CPU 93 is connected to a clock pulse generation circuit 96, a frequency divider 97, a random number generator 98, and a sampling circuit 99. The clock pulse generation circuit 96 and the frequency divider 97 generate clock pulses. The main CPU 93 executes a control program based on the generated clock pulse. The random number generator 98 generates a random number in a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535). The sampling circuit 99 extracts one value from the generated random numbers.

  The main CPU 93 counts the number of times pulses are output to the stepping motors of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R after detecting the reel index. Thereby, the main CPU 93 manages the rotation angle of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R (mainly, how many symbols the reel has rotated).

  The reel index is information indicating that the reel has made one revolution. This reel index is provided at a predetermined position of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, for example, with a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit by the rotation of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. Detection is performed by a reel position detection unit (not shown) including a detection piece interposed therebetween.

  Here, the management of the rotation angle of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to the stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter provided in the main RAM 95. Each time the output of a predetermined number of pulses (for example, 16 times) necessary for the rotation of one symbol is counted by the pulse counter, the symbol counter provided in the main RAM 95 is incremented by one. The symbol counter is provided for each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. The value of the symbol counter is cleared when a reel index is detected by a reel position detector (not shown).

  In other words, in the present embodiment, by managing the symbol counter, it is possible to manage how many symbols have been rotated since the reel index was detected. Therefore, the position of each symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is detected with reference to the position where the reel index is detected.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of sliding symbols is set to four symbols. Therefore, for example, when the pressing body 19L is pressed, the symbol of the reel 3L in the middle of the reel display window 4 and each symbol within the range up to the four symbols ahead are displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4. It becomes a symbol that can be stopped.

  Further, when the photosensor 420 of the stop switch substrate 400 outputs a high level signal, the main CPU 93 outputs a lighting signal that instructs lighting to the LED 410 of the stop switch substrate 400. On the other hand, when the photo sensor 420 outputs a low level signal (pressing detection signal), the main CPU transmits a turn-off signal that instructs turning off to the LED 410 of the stop switch substrate 400.
