The light emitting base 63 attaches and fixes the lamp part 56 provided with the effect lamp 57, the lens plate 59, and the front side diffusion part 60 and the back side diffusion part 61, which are screwed to each other with the lens 62 interposed therebetween, and The spring receiving seat 66 is coupled with a screw or the like.

  The light emitting unit 55 can emit light in various light emission patterns such as a full light emission / flashing pattern in which the effect lamp 57 simultaneously emits light / flashes, or a sequential light emission pattern in which light is emitted sequentially from the upper and lower edges to the center side. .

  Normally, as the lighting pattern of the six effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f), the lamps 57a, 57f on the upper and lower edges are lit, and the other lamps 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e are turned on. Then, the inner lamps 57b, 57e are turned on, the other lamps 57a, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f are turned off, and the intermediate lamps 57c, 57d are turned on, and the other lamps 57a are turned on. 57b, 57e, 57f are turned off, the lamps 57b, 57e are turned on, the other lamps 57a, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f are turned off, and the lamps 57a, 57f are turned on. 57b, 57c, 57d and 57e are repeatedly turned off (sequential light emission pattern as a normal lighting pattern, see A in FIG. 34). (57a, 57f → 57b, 57e → 57c, 57d → 57b, 57e → 57a, 57f).

  At the time of pressing operation guidance, a simultaneous blinking pattern is used as a special lighting pattern in which all of the six effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) are turned on and off simultaneously in a short time (see FIG. 34 B).

  When the effect lamp 57 is lit, the light that has passed through the thick wall portion 60b and the lens portion 59a of the window portion 60e shines strongly as direct light SL, and the light reflected by the partition wall 59b and the plated coating portion 60g is indirect light. As CL, the collar part 60h is caused to emit light, and further, the light reflected by the collar part 60h causes the back side diffusion part 61 to emit light as indirect light CL. Furthermore, the indirect light CL that has passed through the cylindrical portion 59 c of the lens plate 59 enters a state where it is strongly radiated through the lens 62. Then, the player can easily see the light emission state of these light emitting portions 55 through the cover body 52 having the transparent ceiling wall 52a and the peripheral wall 52b. In other words, in the first operation portion 51, the outer peripheral surface 51d side that is the peripheral wall 52b side of the cover body 52, that is, the side surface 51e side of the first operation portion 51 emits light, and the cover body 52 is on the ceiling wall 52a side. The front end surface 51c side also emits light.

  Further, the light emitting unit 55 is arranged such that the lens 62 at the upper end of the light diffusing unit 58 is close to the lower surface of the ceiling wall 52a of the cover body 52, and the effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) are provided. Since the light emitting base 63 and the like on the lower end side are disposed so as to be hidden behind the decorative panel portion 172, the first protruding from the storage portion 100 is disposed above the insertion opening 174 of the decorative panel portion 172. The entire operation unit 51 is in a state in which the effect lamp 57 emits light, and the effect of the effect at the time of lighting can be enhanced.

  Further, in the case of the embodiment, the direction of the direct light SL that is strongly emitted by all the six effect lamps 57 in the light emitting unit 55 of the first operation unit 51 is directed toward the rear on the game board 2 side that is easily reflected by the glass unit 11a. As an oblique front side on the player side, not on the direction, a decorative body arranged in the center in the left-right direction of the dish unit portion 11b, that is, on the upper surface side of the effect button 191 like the face mask of the face effect button device 190 It is set so as to illuminate the left irradiation area A1 (see FIG. 3). Therefore, when the game is turned on with a normal lighting pattern, a special lighting pattern, or the like, the light-emitting unit 55 can shine light on the effect button 191 such as a mask as a decorative body, so that the player can pay attention. The design effect of the light emitting unit 55 of the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment can be appealed.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the upper and lower spring seats 66 and 78 are urged and arranged so as to be separated from each other by two springs (coil springs) 73 and 73. The spring receiving seats 66 and 78 are separated from each other by washer-attached screws 74 and 75 that pass through the mounting holes 68 and 81 and are screwed to the guide pins 72 and 72. The guide pins 72, 72 are fixed to the upper spring receiving seat 66 side by screws 74 so that the upper ends of the guide pins 72 and 72 are prismatic shapes that fit into the mounting holes 68 of the spring receiving seat 66. , While compressing the springs 73, 73, the guide pin 72 is moved downward through the mounting hole 81 of the lower spring receiving seat 78 with the screw 75 screwed, and the spring receiving seat 66 The peripheral lower surface 66b comes into contact with the peripheral upper surface 78c of the spring seat 78, and the compressed state of the springs 73, 73 is stopped.

  As described above, the upper spring receiving seat 66 fixes the light emitting base 63 to support the light emitting portion 55, and at the lower end surface of the flange portion 52c of the cover body 52 of the first operation portion 51 at the time of pressing operation. 52d is supported by the upper surface 66a of the outer peripheral edge. The spring seat 66 is provided with a central hole 67 through which the vicinity of the screw 86 of the stopper mechanism 84 is inserted when the first operating portion 51 is pushed down to the second position P12 at the lowermost end. (See C in FIG. 10). Further, the spring receiving seat 66 has a detection piece 69 for turning on the operation detection SWs 107 and 108 protruding from the outer peripheral side. The lower spring seat 78 can be inserted through the stopper 85 of the stopper mechanism 84 at the center when the first operating portion 51 is pushed down to the second position P12 at the lowest end, as shown in FIGS. A central hole 79 is provided. However, a locking projection 80 that abuts against the stopper 85 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the central hole 79 so as to protrude only when the first operating portion 51 is allowed to be pressed down to the first position P11 as an intermediate position. Yes. In other words, the spring seat 78 becomes an operation position restricting member 78 that is allowed to be pressed or restricted by the stopper 85. The operation position regulating member 78 abuts the locking projection 80 on the stopper 85 to regulate the position to the first position P11 of the first operation portion 51, and also the vicinity of the lower surface 78a (screw 75 in the embodiment). A second position P12 of the first operating portion 51 is regulated by contacting an upper surface 97a of a spring seat 97 described later (see C in FIG. 10).

  In the case of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the operation amount S11 of the first operation to be pressed from the initial position P10 to the first position P11, that is, from the initial position P10 until the locking projection 80 comes into contact with the stopper 85. The amount of operation S11 is 4 mm, the amount of operation S12 of the second operation of pressing down from the initial position P10 to the second position P12, that is, the stopper 85 is inserted through the central hole 79 from the initial position P10, and the lower surface of the spring seat 78 The operation amount S12 until the vicinity of 78a contacts the upper surface 97a of the spring seat 97 is 30 mm.

  The support side portion 83 that supports the first operation portion 51 that is pushed down includes a stopper mechanism 84, a spring 95, and upper and lower spring seats 96 and 97. As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 9, and 10, the stopper mechanism 84 has a stopper 85, a guide pin 87 that fixes the stopper 85 to the upper end with a screw 86, and a stopper ring 89 interposed between the lower end of the guide pin 87. A driven gear 90 that is fixed to the screw 88, a drive gear 91 that meshes with the driven gear 90, and a drive motor 92 that rotationally drives the drive gear 91 are provided. The stopper 85 is configured by projecting three fan-shaped projecting pieces 85 a on the outer peripheral surface. The drive gear 91 is driven to rotate by the operation of the drive motor 92, and the driven gear 90 is driven as the drive gear 91 rotates. When the guide pin 87 rotates as the driven gear 90 rotates, the stopper 85 rotates. And if the protrusion piece 85a is arrange | positioned in the control position RP which overlaps with the latching protrusion 80 of the spring receiving seat 78 by the side of the 1st operation part 51 along the axial direction of the guide pin 87, the 1st operation part 51 will be made. Even when the pressing operation is performed, only the first operation up to the first position P11 can be performed because the locking projection 80 contacts the protruding piece 85a of the stopper 85. Further, when the protruding piece 85a is disposed at the restriction release position FP that does not overlap the locking protrusion 80 of the spring receiving seat 78 on the first operation portion 51 side along the axial direction of the guide pin 87, the first When the operating portion 51 is pressed, the stopper 85 passes through the central hole 79 of the spring receiving seat 78 without interfering with the locking projection 80, and the lower surface 78a of the spring receiving seat 78 of the first operating portion 51 is moved to the spring receiving seat. The operation until it comes into contact with the upper surface 97a of 97, that is, the second operation up to the second position P12 is possible.

  The rotation of the stopper 85 is controlled by the drive control of the drive motor 92. Specifically, on the lower surface side of the driven gear 90, three detection pieces 93 are provided so as to turn on (shield) the rotation angle detection SW 94 formed of a photoelectric switch or the like, and the protruding piece 85a is a locking protrusion. Corresponding to being arranged at the restriction release position FP that does not interfere with 80, any one of the detection pieces 93 is set so as to turn on (shield) the rotation angle detection SW 94, and conversely, the protruding piece 85a Corresponding to being arranged at the restricting position RP that interferes with the locking projection 80, each of the detection pieces 93 is set to be turned off (translucent) without shielding the rotation angle detection SW 94, The drive motor 92 is driven to control the rotation of the stopper 85 so that the detection piece 93 turns the rotation angle detection SW 94 on and off. The rotation angle detection SW 94 is attached to the lower cover 110 described later.

  Further, in a normal state, the first operating portion 51 protrudes from the stopper 85 so that it can only be pressed from the initial position P10 to the first position P11 against the biasing force of the spring 73 and a slight biasing force of the spring 95. The stopper 85 is stopped so that the piece 85a comes into contact with the locking projection 80 of the operation position restricting member 78, that is, at the restricting position RP where the rotation angle detection SW 94 is in the OFF (light-transmitting) state.

  The spring receiving seat 96 is screwed to the spring receiving seat 78 while supporting the upper end of a coil spring (conical coil spring) 95. The spring seat 96 includes a sliding hole 96a through which the guide pin 87 can slide. The spring seat 97 supports the lower end of the spring 95 and is screwed to the lower cover 110. The drive motor 92 is attached to the upper surface side of the lower spring seat 97, and the drive shaft 92a to which the drive gear 91 is attached projects downward from the spring seat 97, and the drive gear 91, The driven gear 90 and the retaining ring 89 are rotatably disposed between the lower spring seat 97 and the lower cover 110.

  The spring 95 is a spring having a larger spring constant than the spring constants of the two springs 73 and 73, and has a larger repulsive force than the case where the two springs 73 and 73 are compressed simultaneously. Therefore, when the first operation unit 51 is pressed from the initial position P10 to the first position P11, only the two springs 73 and 73 are compressed, but the first operation part 51 is pressed from the first position P11 to the second position P12. When operating, since the spring 95 having a large spring constant is compressed, the repulsive force is large, and a pressing operation is performed with a strong force.

  In the case of the embodiment, when the first operation portion 51 is first operated to the first position P11, immediately before the locking projection 80 is disposed at the first position P11 that contacts the protruding piece 85a of the stopper 85, The lower surface 66b of the peripheral edge of the spring receiving seat 66 comes into contact with the upper surface 78c of the peripheral edge of the spring receiving seat 78, and the compressed state of the springs 73, 73 is stopped. Further, the subsequent pressing operation maintains the contact state between the spring seats 66 and 78, that is, before the spring 95 is exerted with a large repulsive force while maintaining the compressed state of the springs 73 and 73. The spring 95 is slightly compressed so that the locking projection 80 is disposed at the first position P11 where it comes into contact with the protruding piece 85a of the stopper 85. The repulsive force of the spring 95 immediately before the completion of the arrangement at the first position P11 is a feeling of a repulsive force that is extremely small compared to the subsequent arrangement at the second position P12 because the operation amount is small and the compression allowance is small. Yes. Therefore, in the operation from the initial position P10 to the first position P11, the pressing operation is generally performed against the urging force of only the springs 73 and 73 having a small repulsive force.

  The storage unit 100 includes an inner cover 103, an outer cover 106, a lower cover 110, and a bottom cover 115. The inner cover 103 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is configured as divided bodies 105A and 105B that are divided into two in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the first operation unit 51. When the divided bodies 105A and 105B are joined together by screwing or the like, Since the rib 103b on the lower end side is inserted and locked in the locking hole 97c of the lower spring seat 97 (see FIG. 8), the vertical movement is restricted, and the rib 103a on the upper end side is the flange of the cover body 52. The part 52c is locked and the upward movement of the cover body 52 is restricted. The inner cover 103 is formed with a slide hole 104 that allows the detection piece 69 of the spring seat 66 to protrude and allows the detection piece 69 to move up and down.

  The outer cover 106 has a substantially cylindrical shape, a sleeve portion extending in contact with the upper surface of the rib 103a of the inner cover 103 and extending in a tapered manner along the outer peripheral surface 51d of the cover body 52 (first operation portion 51). 106 a and is screwed to the lower cover 110. In the outer cover 106, the inner peripheral side of the sleeve portion 106a is a projecting port 101 through which the first operating portion 51 projects. In addition, the operation detection SWs 107 and 108 including photoelectric switches or the like that can detect the first operation and the second operation of the first operation unit 51 by detecting the presence or absence of the detection piece 69 protruding from the inner cover 103 in the outer cover 106. Is arranged. The upper operation detection SW 107 is in a light-shielding state when the detection piece 69 moves from the initial position P10 to a position corresponding to the first position P11 when the first operation unit 51 is operated from the initial position P10 to the first position P11. It is configured to output an ON signal when it enters a translucent state. The lower operation detection SW 108 is changed from the light transmitting state to the light blocking state when the detection piece 69 moves to a position corresponding to the second position P12 when the first operation unit 51 is operated to the second position P12. Therefore, it is set to output an ON signal.

  The lower cover 110 fixes the lower spring receiving seat 97 by screwing or the like, fixes the outer cover 106 by screwing or the like, and further attaches and fixes the rotation angle detection SW 94 described above to fix the bottom cover 115. It is fixed by screwing or the like. The bottom cover 115 is fixed to the mounting base 171 of the storage main body 170 by screwing or the like. In addition, a sliding plate 111 for reducing the frictional resistance with the screw 88 and the retaining ring 89 is fixed to the lower cover 110 directly below the guide pin 87, and a metal pressure receiving plate 112 is provided so as to increase rigidity. It is arranged.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the second operation unit 121 protrudes from the circular opening 151 of the storage unit 150, and extends downward from the substantially disc-shaped ceiling wall 122 a and the outer peripheral edge of the ceiling wall 122 a. A cover body 122 made of a transparent synthetic resin material such as polycarbonate having a substantially cylindrical peripheral wall 122b extending, a light emitting portion 125 disposed in the cover body 122, and an operation position regulating member 128 are configured. ing. The protruding length L2 (about 113 mm) of the cover body 122 from the protruding port 151 is set to be about 2.57 times the opening dimension d2 (about 44 mm) of the protruding port 151. The cover body 122 has a lower end flange portion 122c that is locked to the rib 153a of the inner cover 153 of the storage portion 150 and is restricted from being pulled upward. These are disposed so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction.

  The light emitting unit 125 has the same configuration as the light emitting unit 55 on the first operation unit 51 side, the lamp unit 56 similar to the light emitting unit 55, and six effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f). ) And a light diffusing unit 58, the same parts as those of the light emitting unit 55 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. The light emitting portion 125 is disposed as a plated coating portion 60g having a red metallic luster color, unlike the plated coating portion 60g having a blue metallic gloss color of the light emitting portion 55. The light emitting base 126 that fixes the light emitting unit 125 to the operation position restricting member 128 by screwing is formed to have a slightly larger diameter than the light emitting base 63 of the light emitting unit 55.

  The light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 125 is the same as that of the light emitting unit 55. In normal times, the six lighting lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) emit light sequentially as normal lighting patterns. (57a, 57f → 57b, 57e → 57c, 57d → 57b, 57e → 57a, 57f: refer to A in FIG. 34), and at the time of pressing operation guidance, six effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, and 57f) are simultaneously flashing patterns as special lighting patterns that repeat turning on and off simultaneously in a short time (see B in FIG. 34). And if the light emission part 125 light-emits the effect lamp 57 sequentially by a light emission pattern or a simultaneous blinking pattern similarly to the light emission part 55, a player will change the light emission state of these light emission parts 125 to the transparent ceiling wall 122a or a surrounding wall. It will be easily visible through the cover body 122 having 122b. In other words, also in the second operation unit 121, if the effect lamp 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) of the light emitting unit 125 is lit, the outer peripheral surface 121d side that is the peripheral wall 122b side of the cover body 122, That is, the side surface 121e side of the second operation unit 121 emits light, and the front end surface 121c side of the cover body 122, which is the ceiling wall 122a side, also emits light.

  Further, the light emitting unit 125 is arranged such that the lens 62 at the upper end of the light diffusing unit 58 is close to the lower surface of the ceiling wall 122a of the cover body 122, and the effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) are provided. Since the lower end side light emitting base 126 and the like are arranged so as to be hidden behind the decorative panel portion 172, the second protruding from the storage portion 150 is disposed above the fitting insertion portion 176 of the decorative panel portion 172. The entire operation unit 121 is in a state in which the effect lamp 57 emits light, and the effect effect at the time of lighting can be enhanced.

  Furthermore, also in the second operation unit 121, the direction of the direct light SL that is strongly emitted by all the six effect lamps 57 in the light emitting unit 125 is not the direction toward the rear on the game board 2 side that is easily reflected by the glass unit 11a. The right irradiation on the upper surface side of the effect button 191 such as a face mask of the face effect button device 190, that is, a decorative body arranged at the center in the left-right direction of the dish unit portion 11b as an oblique front side on the player side It is set to illuminate area A2 (see FIG. 3). Therefore, as with the light emitting unit 55, the light emitting unit 125 shines light on the effect button 191 such as a mask as a decorative body when it is turned on with a normal lighting pattern or a special lighting pattern during a game. Thus, the design effect of the light emitting unit 125 of the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment can be appealed to the player.

  As described above, the operation position restricting member 128 fixes the light emitting base 126 to support the light emitting unit 125, and lower end surface 122d of the flange portion 122c of the cover body 122 of the second operation unit 121 at the time of pressing operation. Is supported by the upper surface 128a of the outer peripheral edge. In addition, the operation position restricting member 128 projects a detection piece 127 for turning on the operation detection SWs 157 and 158 on the outer peripheral side, and pushes the second operation unit 121 to the lowermost second position P22 in the center. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13C, a central hole 129 into which the stopper 135 of the stopper mechanism 134 can be inserted is provided. However, a locking projection 130 that abuts against the stopper 135 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the central hole 129 so as to protrude only when the second operating portion 121 is allowed only to be pressed down to the first position P21 as an intermediate position. Yes. The operation position restricting member 128 abuts the locking projection 130 on the stopper 135 to restrict the position of the second operating portion 121 at the first position P21, and the lower surface 128b to an upper surface 147a of a spring seat 147 described later. The second operation portion 121 is configured to be regulated at the second position P22 by abutting.

  In the case of the embodiment, the operation amount S21 of the second operation that is pressed down from the initial position P20 to the first position P21, that is, the operation amount S21 until the locking projection 130 comes into contact with the stopper 135 from the initial position P20 is 3 mm, The operation amount S22 of the second operation for pressing down from the initial position P20 to the second position P12, that is, the stopper 135 is inserted through the central hole 129 from the initial position P20, and the lower surface 128b of the operation position restricting member 128 is moved to the spring seat 147. The operation amount S22 until it abuts on the upper surface 147a is 30 mm.

  The support side portion 133 that supports the second operation portion 121 that is pressed down includes a stopper mechanism 134, a spring 145, and upper and lower spring seats 146 and 147. The stopper mechanism 134 is the same as the stopper mechanism 34 on the first operating portion 51 side (see FIG. 8). The stopper 135, the guide pin 137 for fixing the stopper 135 to the upper end with the screw 136, and the lower end of the guide pin 137, A driven gear 140 that is fastened with a screw 138 through a retaining ring 139, a drive gear 141 that meshes with the driven gear 140, and a drive motor 142 that rotationally drives the drive gear 141 are provided. Similarly to the stopper 85, the stopper 135 is configured by projecting three fan-shaped projecting pieces 135 a on the outer peripheral surface, and the drive gear 141 is rotationally driven by the operation of the drive motor 142, so that the drive gear 141 is rotationally driven. Accordingly, if the driven gear 140 rotates and the guide pin 137 rotates as the driven gear 140 rotates, the stopper 135 rotates. Then, like the stopper mechanism 34, the protruding piece 135 a overlaps with the locking projection 130 provided in the central hole 129 of the operation position restricting member 128 on the second operation portion 121 side along the axial direction of the guide pin 137. If it is arranged at the restriction position RP, even if the second operation portion 121 is pressed, the locking projection 130 comes into contact with the protruding piece 135a of the stopper 135, and only the first operation up to the first position P21 can be performed. In addition, when the protruding piece 135a is disposed at the restriction release position FP that does not overlap the locking protrusion 130 of the operation position restricting member 128 on the second operation portion 121 side along the axial direction of the guide pin 137, 2 When the operation portion 121 is pressed, the stopper 135 passes through the central hole 129 of the operation position restricting member 128 without interfering with the locking protrusion 130, and the lower surface 128 b of the operation position restricting member 128 is the upper surface of the spring seat 147. The operation of contacting the 147a, that is, the second operation up to the second position P22 is possible.

  The rotation of the stopper 135 is controlled by the drive control of the drive motor 142. Specifically, three detection pieces 143 are provided on the lower surface side of the driven gear 140 so that the rotation angle detection SW 144 including a photoelectric switch or the like is turned on (shielded), and the protruding piece 135a is a locking protrusion. Corresponding to being arranged at the restriction release position FP that does not interfere with 130, any one of the detection pieces 143 is set to turn on (shield) the rotation angle detection SW 144, and conversely, the protruding piece 135a Is disposed at the restriction position RP that interferes with the locking projection 130, and any of the detection pieces 143 is disposed so as to be turned off (translucent) without shielding the rotation angle detection SW 144. Yes. Then, the drive motor 142 is driven and controlled so that the detection piece 143 turns the rotation angle detection SW 144 on and off, and the rotation of the stopper 135 is controlled. The rotation angle detection SW 144 is attached to a lower cover 160 described later.

  Further, in a normal state, the protruding piece 135a of the stopper 135 is operated by the operating position restricting member 128 so that the second operating portion 121 can be pressed only from the initial position P20 to the first position P21 against the urging force of the spring 145. In other words, the stopper 135 is stopped at the restriction position RP at which the rotation angle detection SW 144 is in the OFF (translucent) state.

  The spring seat 146 is screwed to the operation position restricting member 128 while supporting the upper end of a coil spring (conical coil spring) 145. The spring seat 146 includes a sliding hole 146a through which the guide pin 137 can slide. The spring seat 147 supports the lower end of the coil spring 145 and is screwed to the lower cover 160. The drive motor 142 is attached to the upper surface side of the lower spring receiving seat 147, and the drive shaft 142a to which the driving gear 141 is attached protrudes below the spring receiving seat 147, and the drive gear 141, The driven gear 140 and the retaining ring 139 are rotatably disposed between the lower spring seat 147 and the lower cover 160.

  The storage unit 150 includes an inner cover 153, an outer cover 156, a lower cover 160, and a bottom cover 165. The inner cover 153 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is configured as divided bodies 155A and 155B that are divided into two in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the second operation unit 121. When the divided bodies 155A and 155B are joined together by screwing or the like, Similarly to the housing portion 100, the lower end rib 153b is inserted and locked in the locking hole 147c (see FIG. 11) of the lower spring seat 147, so that the vertical movement is restricted, and the upper end rib. 153a locks the flange portion 122c of the cover body 122 with the cushioning material 152 interposed therebetween, and restricts the upward movement of the cover body 122. The inner cover 153 is formed with a slide hole 154 that allows the detection piece 127 of the operation position regulating member 128 to protrude and allows the detection piece 127 to move up and down. The cushioning material 152 is formed in an annular shape from rubber or the like, and when the second operating portion 121 returns to the initial position P20 by the biasing force of the spring 145, the flange portion 122c of the cover body 122 directly contacts the rib 153a. So that no abnormal noise is generated.

  The outer cover 156 has a substantially cylindrical shape, a sleeve portion extending in contact with the upper surface of the rib 153a of the inner cover 153 and extending upward and taperingly along the outer peripheral surface 121d of the cover body 122 (second operation portion 121). 156a and screwed to the lower cover 160. In the outer cover 156, the inner peripheral side of the sleeve portion 156a is a projecting port 151 for projecting the second operating portion 121. Further, the operation detection SWs 157 and 158 including photoelectric switches or the like that can detect the first operation and the second operation of the second operation unit 121 by detecting the presence or absence of the detection piece 143 protruding from the inner cover 153 in the outer cover 156. Is arranged. The upper operation detection SW 157 is in a light-shielding state when the detection piece 143 moves from the initial position P20 to a position corresponding to the first position P21 when the second operation unit 121 is operated from the initial position P20 to the first position P21. It is configured to output an ON signal when it enters a translucent state. Further, the lower operation detection SW 158 changes from the translucent state to the light-shielded state when the detection piece 143 moves to a position corresponding to the second position P22 when the second operation unit 121 is operated to the second position P22. Therefore, it is set to output an ON signal.

It is arranged.

(4) Explanation of operation and effect of operation device 47 The operation and effect of the operation device 47 will be described. The sub-control unit 25 as the effect control means outputs with the start of special symbol variation in the main control unit 20. The effect change control command 22 is input to the effect control unit 22, and the effect control unit 22 analyzes the input change start command, and performs a predetermined change according to the change pattern included in the change start command and information on whether or not it is a big hit. An effect pattern is selected, and a predetermined command is transmitted to the image control unit 23 and a predetermined lamp 18, 19, 57 is turned on so as to execute a predetermined decorative design variation effect according to the selected variation effect pattern. In addition, a predetermined command is sent to the lamp control unit 24 so as to operate the movable accessory device 28, the stopper mechanisms 84 and 134, and the vibration devices 180 and 185. Send. In the image control unit 23, the image data of the decoration pattern variation effect of a predetermined pattern, and for causing the player to perform the first operation and the second operation of the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 of the operation device 47. Image data, image data such as a first operation effect and a second operation effect after operation are stored, and predetermined image data is used when a decorative symbol variation effect is generated according to a command received from the effect control unit 22. Then, a predetermined effect image is displayed on the image display unit 6.

(First operation part first operation process)
And, for example, if the variation effect pattern selected by the effect control unit 22 includes an effect that requires the first operation unit 51 or the second operation unit 121 to press the first operation, the first 1/2 shown in FIG. Like the operation unit first operation process, the effect control unit 22 determines whether or not it is time to execute the first operation effect during the execution of the variation effect pattern (S3001), and if it is the timing (S3001). YES), the corresponding operation guidance images (G11 (see B in FIG. 22), G21 (see B in FIG. 25)) are displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6 (S3002), and the process proceeds to S3003. If it is not timing (NO in S3001), the process is terminated.

  In the transferred S3003, it is determined whether or not the corresponding first operation unit 51 or second operation unit 121 has been pressed, and if it is not within the valid time (NO in S3003 → YES in S3005), the process proceeds to S3007, The display of the operation guidance images (G11, G21) is stopped. On the other hand, if the corresponding first operation unit 51 or second operation unit 121 is pressed within the valid time (YES in S3003), the corresponding effect image (AC11 (FIG. 11) as the corresponding first operation effect). 22 (see C etc. 22), AC21 (see C etc. in FIG. 25)) is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6 (S3004), and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the display is stopped (YES in S3006 → S3007) ) Finish the process.

(1/2 operation part 2nd operation process)
If the variation effect pattern selected by the effect control unit 22 includes an effect that requires a pressing operation of the second operation of the first operation unit 51 or the second operation unit 121, the first operation unit No. 1/2 shown in FIG. As in the two-operation process, the effect control unit 22 determines whether or not it is time to execute the second operation effect during the execution of the variation effect pattern (S3101). If it is not the timing (NO in S3101) If the timing is finished (YES in S3101), the process proceeds to S3102 where the player has already pushed down to the first positions P11 and P21 so as not to apply unnecessary load to the drive motors 92 and 142. In order to confirm that the upper operation detection SWs 107 and 157 are ON, it is determined whether or not the upper operation detection SWs 107 and 157 are ON. If ON (YES in S3102), the process ends. If not ON (NO in S3102), the corresponding operation is completed. Guide images (G12 (see B in FIG. 23), G22 ( 26 B reference)) to be displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6 of (S3103), the process proceeds to S3104.

  In the transferred S3104, whether or not the corresponding first operation unit 51 or the second position P12 or P22 of the second operation unit 121 has been pressed down, that is, whether or not there has been an effective operation that turns on the lower operation detection SWs 108 and 158. If it is not within the effective time (NO in S3104 → YES in S3106), the process proceeds to S3108, and the display of the operation guidance images (G12, G22) is stopped. On the other hand, if there is a pressing operation to the second position P12, P22 of the first operation unit 51 or the second operation unit 121 corresponding to the valid time (YES in S3104), the corresponding second operation effect is displayed. Corresponding effect images (AC12 (see C, D, F, G in FIG. 23), AC22 (see C, D, F, G in FIG. 26)) are displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6 (S3105), After the predetermined time has elapsed, the display is stopped (YES in S3107 → S3108), and the process ends.

(Vibration device operation processing)
In the case of the second operation of the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121, in the case of the embodiment, the first vibration device 180 and the second vibration device 185 are operated. Therefore, when the production control unit 22 activates the first vibration device 180 or the second vibration device 185 during execution of the variation production pattern, the operation command is transmitted to the lamp control unit 24 at a predetermined timing. . Then, as in the vibration device operation process shown in FIG. 32, the lamp control unit 24 first determines whether or not the vibration device operation command is received in S4001, and if not received (NO in S4001), If the processing is completed and received (YES in S4001), the process proceeds to S4002 to determine whether or not both the first vibration device 180 and the second vibration device 185 are operated. (YES in S4002), the process proceeds to S4003, the first vibration device 180 and the second vibration device 185 are operated, and the operation of the first vibration device 180 and the second vibration device 185 is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed. (YES at S4007 → S4010). On the other hand, if the first vibration device 180 and the second vibration device 185 are not operated together (NO in S4002), the process proceeds to S4004 and if the first vibration device 180 is operated (YES in S4004). , The process proceeds to S4005, the first vibration device 180 is activated, and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the operation of the first vibration device 180 is stopped (YES in S4008 → S4010), and the first vibration device 180 is activated. If (NO in S4004), the process proceeds to S4006, where the second vibration device 185 is operated, and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the operation of the second vibration device 185 is stopped (YES in S4009 → S4010).

(Lighting pattern processing for operation guidance)
Further, when the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 are operated, the lamp control unit 24 causes the lighting lamps 55 and 125 of the light emitting units 55 and 125 to perform the operation guide lighting pattern processing shown in FIG. It is lit in a predetermined operation guidance lighting pattern. That is, the lamp control unit 24 first determines in S5001 whether or not an operation guidance lighting command output from the effect control unit 22 has been received. If not received (NO in S5001), the process is terminated. If received (YES in S5001), the process proceeds to S5002, where it is determined whether or not both of the light emitting units 55 and 125 are lit in a predetermined pattern, and when both are lit (YES in S5002), The process proceeds to S5003, the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting units 55, 125 is turned on with a predetermined lighting pattern (see B in FIG. 34), and after a predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S5007), the process proceeds to S5010. , 125 with the normal lighting pattern of the effect lamp 57 (see A in FIG. 34). On the other hand, if both of the light emitting units 55 and 125 are not lit (NO in S5002), the process proceeds to S5004. If the light emitting unit 55 is lit (YES in S5004), the process proceeds to S5005, and the light emitting unit 55 effect lamps 57 are lit in a predetermined lighting pattern (see B in FIG. 34), and after a predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S5007), the process proceeds to S5010, where the normal lighting pattern of the effect lamp 57 in the light emitting section 55 ( If it is not in the case of lighting the light emitting unit 55 (NO in S5004), the process proceeds to S5006, and the light emitting unit 125 is set to a predetermined lighting pattern (see FIG. 34). After the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S5009), the process proceeds to S5010, where the lighting lamp 125 is turned on with the normal lighting pattern (see A in FIG. 34).

  As the lighting pattern, in addition to A and B in FIG. 34, for example, as shown in C in FIG. 34, lighting of the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting units 55 and 125 is performed along the pressing direction. 57b → 57c → 57d → 57e → 57f is repeated, or as shown in D of FIG. 35, without turning off the lighting lamp, the effect lamps 57a → 57b → 57c → 57d → 57e → 57f The number of lighting is increased and this is repeated, or as shown in FIG. 35F, the lamps are turned off in order from the lighting lamps 57a → 57b → 57c → 57d → 57e → 57f. This may be repeated. Further, as shown in E of FIG. 35, the effect lamps 57a, 57b, and 57c and the effect lamps 57d, 57e, and 57f may be turned on / off alternately.

  Further, in the first operation, one cycle is repeated in C of FIG. 34 and D and F of FIG. 35 in which the lighting and extinguishing from the effect lamps 57a to 57f are moved along the pressing operation direction of the operation units 51 and 121. The time (elapsed time) may be lengthened and the time of one cycle may be shortened in the second operation, or the length of one cycle may be reversed. Of course, even in the case of E in FIG. 35 and in the case of FIG. 34B in the embodiment, the time of one cycle is lengthened in the first operation, and the time of one cycle is shortened in the second operation, or one cycle The length of the time may be reversed. Further, when the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 are pressed, one is different from one of C in FIG. 34, one of D and F in FIG. 35, and the other is one of the other. You can make it.

1. Example of the first operation of the first operation unit The above operation and the effect image will be described in detail. During the execution of the decorative symbol variation effect, that is, on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, it is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 22B, when the timing for executing the first operation effect of the first operation unit 51 comes when the left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol of the decorative symbol are fluctuating, A first operation guide image (short press (one press) operation guide image) G11 is displayed so that the first operation unit 51 is pressed from the initial position P10 to the first position P11. The first operation guide image G11 of the embodiment is short-pressed (single-pressed) with the syringe image BI1 that holds the same blue syringe as the first operating unit 51 so as to suggest the operation of the first operating unit 51. ) Indicating a character image BW1 of “stab”. When the first operation guide image (short press operation guide image) G11 is displayed, the player holds the operation grip portion 53 on the distal end portion 51b side of the first operation portion 51 and performs a press operation (FIG. 20 A two-dot chain line, see FIG. 21). When the first operation guidance image (short press operation guidance image) G11 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 22B, the timer symbol TM is displayed so as to suggest the player the effective time, The colored scale (meter symbol) becomes longer with time, and when the effective time elapses, the scale is displayed so as to block the entire area of the timer symbol TM.

  At this time, the lamp control unit 24 maintains the restriction position RP where the protruding piece 85a of the stopper 85 in the stopper mechanism 84 abuts on the locking protrusion 80 of the operation position restriction member 78 by a command from the effect control unit 22. As described above, the operation of the drive motor 92 is stopped, and the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 55 is changed from the normal sequential light emission pattern (normal lighting pattern) to the simultaneous blinking pattern (special lighting pattern). Is turned on (YES in S5001 in FIG. 33 → NO in S5002 → YES in S5004 → see S5005). At this time, the light emitting unit 125 of the second operation unit 121 turns on the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting unit 125 as a sequential light emitting pattern which is a normal lighting pattern at the normal time.

  Then, when the player presses down the first operation unit 51, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the operation detection SW 107 is turned on from the light shielding state to the translucent state, and the first operation unit 51 is turned on. The effect control unit 22 that has been placed at the first position P11 and has received the ON signal, selects YES → S3004 in S3003 in FIG. 30 and then performs a predetermined effect, that is, the first as shown in FIG. One operation effect AC11 is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, and a predetermined command is transmitted to the lamp control unit 24 so that the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 55 is returned to the normal lighting pattern.

  In the case of the embodiment, the first operation effect AC11 is displayed corresponding to the selected variation effect pattern, and is a cut-in notice effect that suggests the degree of expectation of jackpot. Specifically, the first operation effect AC11R (see C in FIG. 22) with the star mark background color red, the first operation effect AC11Y (see E in FIG. 22) with the background color yellow, and the background color in blue There are three types of first operation effects AC11B (see F in FIG. 22). The magnitude of the expectation is AC11R> AC11Y> AC11B.

In the variation effect pattern in which the first operation effect AC11 is selected, the ratio of AC11R, AC11Y, and AC11B displayed is
For jackpot,
AC11R is 60%
AC11Y is 30%
AC11B is 10%
In case of loss,
AC11R is 10%
AC11Y is 30%
AC11B is 60%
It is set to be displayed at the selected ratio.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed after displaying the first operation effect AC11, the process proceeds from S3004 to S3006 in FIG. 30 to YES → S3007, the display of the first operation effect AC11 is stopped, and the decorative symbol variation effect is resumed. For example, as shown in D and G of FIG. 22, a reach in which the left symbol and the right symbol are displayed in the same manner, or a rose that has a different left symbol and right symbol is displayed.

  Even if the first operation guide image (short press operation guide image) G11 is displayed and the light emitting unit 55 emits light in the simultaneous blinking pattern (special lighting pattern), the first operation unit is within the predetermined effective time. If 51 is not arranged at the first position P11, that is, if the first operation unit 51 is not operated for the first time, the process proceeds from NO to S3005 in S3003 in FIG. Since a predetermined command is transmitted to the image control unit 23 so as to stop the display of the first operation guide image (short press operation guide image) G11 and display the subsequent effects, B to D in FIG. Or it will be in the state shown to G. Further, in the light emitting unit 55, the process proceeds from YES to S5010 in S5008 in FIG. 33, and the simultaneous blinking pattern of the light emitting unit 55 is stopped and the lamp control is performed so as to return to the sequential light emitting pattern which is the normal lighting pattern at the normal time. Since the predetermined command is transmitted to the unit 24, both the light emitting units 55 and 125 are lit in the normal sequential light emission pattern (see A in FIG. 34).

2. Example of the first operation of the second operation unit During the execution of the decorative symbol variation effect, that is, on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, as shown in FIG. 25A, the left symbol of the decorative symbol, the middle symbol, and When the timing of executing the first operation effect of the second operation unit 121 comes when the right symbol is changing, the second operation unit 121 is moved from the initial position P20 to the first position as shown in FIG. A first operation guide image (short press (single press) operation guide image) G21 is displayed so as to be pressed down to P21. Note that the first operation guide image G21 of the embodiment is short-pressed (pressed once) with the syringe image RI1 that holds the same red syringe as the second operation unit 121 so as to suggest the operation of the second operation unit 121. ) That suggests “)” and a character image RW1 of “stab”. And if this 1st operation guidance image (short press operation guidance image) G21 is displayed with timer symbol TM, a player will grasp operation grip part 53 by the side of tip part 121b of 2nd operation part 121. A pressing operation is performed (see a two-dot chain line in FIG. 20, B).

  At this time, the lamp control unit 24 maintains the restriction position RP where the protruding piece 135 a of the stopper 135 in the stopper mechanism 134 abuts on the locking protrusion 130 of the operation position restriction member 128 according to a command from the effect control unit 22. As described above, the operation of the drive motor 142 is stopped, and the effect lamp 57 is turned on as a light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 125 as a simultaneous blinking pattern from a normal sequential light emission pattern (YES in S5001 of FIG. 33 → S5002). NO → S5004 and NO → S5006) At this time, the light emitting unit 55 of the first operation unit 51 turns on the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting unit 55 as a normal sequential light emission pattern.

  Then, when the player presses down the second operation unit 121, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the operation detection SW 157 is turned on from the light shielding state to the translucent state, and the second operation unit 121 is turned on. The effect control unit 22 that has been placed at the first position P21 and has received the ON signal, selects YES → S3004 in S3003 of FIG. 30, and then performs a predetermined effect, that is, the first as shown in C of FIG. One operation effect AC21 is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, and a predetermined command is transmitted to the lamp control unit 24 so that the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 125 is returned to the normal lighting pattern.

  In the case of the embodiment, the first operation effect AC21 is displayed corresponding to the selected variation effect pattern, and is a cut-in notice effect that suggests the ratio of the jackpot expectation. Specifically, the first operation effect AC21R (see FIG. 25C) in which the background color is red as a 75% numerical display, and the first operation effect AC21Y (see FIG. 25) in which the background color is yellow as a 50% numerical display. There are three types of first operation effects AC21B (see F in FIG. 25) in which the background color is blue. The magnitude of the expectation is AC21R> AC21Y> AC21B.

In the variation effect pattern in which the first operation effect AC21 is selected, the ratio of AC21R, AC21Y, and AC21B displayed is
For jackpot,
AC21R is 60%
AC21Y is 30%
AC21B is 10%
In case of loss,
AC21R is 10%
AC21Y is 30%
AC21B is 60%
It is set to be displayed at the selected ratio.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed after displaying the first operation effect AC21, the process proceeds from YES to S3007 in S3004 → S3006 in FIG. 30, the display of the first operation effect AC21 is stopped, and the decorative symbol variation effect is resumed. For example, as shown in D and G of FIG. 25, a reach in which the left symbol and the right symbol are displayed in the same manner, or a rose that has a different left symbol and right symbol is displayed.

  Note that even if the first operation guide image (short press operation guide image) G21 is displayed and the light emitting unit 125 emits light in the simultaneous blinking pattern, the second operation unit 121 is moved to the first position within the predetermined effective time. If it is not arranged in P21, that is, if the second operation unit 121 is not operated for the first time, the process proceeds from NO to S3005 in S3003 in FIG. 30 to YES to S3007, and the effect control unit 22 displays the first operation guidance image. (Short press operation guidance image) Since a predetermined command is transmitted to the image control unit 23 so that the display of G21 is stopped and the subsequent effects are displayed, B to D in FIG. It becomes a state. Further, in the light emitting unit 125, the process proceeds from YES to S5010 in S5009 in FIG. 33, the simultaneous blinking pattern of the light emitting unit 125 is stopped, and the lamp control unit 24 is set in a predetermined manner so as to return to the normal sequential light emitting pattern. Since the command is transmitted, both the light emitting units 55 and 125 are lit in the normal sequential light emission pattern (see A in FIG. 34).

3. Example of the second operation of the first operation unit During execution of the decorative symbol variation effect, that is, on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, for example, the reach effect shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 31, when the battle effect between the teammate character PC1 and the enemy character RC1 is displayed and the second operation effect of the first operation unit 51 is executed (YES in S3101 in FIG. 31 → NO in S3102). S3103), as shown in FIG. 23B, the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) that causes the first operation unit 51 to be pressed as the long operation amount S12 from the initial position P10 to the second position P12. ) G12 is displayed. This second operation guide image G12 suggests a long press as well as a syringe image BI2 that holds the same blue syringe as the first operation unit 51 and pushes the plunger so as to suggest the operation of the first operation unit 51. It consists of a “long press” character image BW2. When the second operation guide image G12 is displayed, the player holds and pushes the operation grip portion 53 on the tip end portion 51b side of the first operation portion 51 (from the two-dot chain line in FIG. 20A). (See solid line). At that time, in the lamp control unit 24, the projection piece 85 a of the stopper 85 in the stopper mechanism 84 is arranged at the restriction release position FP where it does not come into contact with the locking protrusion 80 of the operation position restriction member 78 by a command from the effect control unit 22. In other words, the drive motor 92 is rotated to rotate the drive gear 91 and the guide pin 87 is rotated together with the meshed driven gear 90 until the detection piece 93 turns on (shields) the rotation angle detection SW 94. .

  Further, as the light emission pattern of the light emitting section 55, the effect lamp 57 is turned on as a simultaneous blinking pattern from the normal sequential light emission pattern (YES in S5001 in FIG. 33 → NO in S5002 → YES in S5004 → see S5005). At this time, the light emitting unit 125 of the second operation unit 121 turns on the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting unit 125 as a normal sequential light emission pattern. Further, the lamp control unit 24 rotates the vibration motor 181 of the first vibration device 180 in response to a command from the effect control unit 22 to vibrate the first operation unit 51 (YES in S4001 in FIG. 32; YES → S4002). NO → S4004 and YES → S4005) At this time, the light emitting unit 125 of the second operation unit 121 turns on the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting unit 125 as a normal sequential light emission pattern.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10C, when the operation detection SW 108 is turned on from the light transmitting state to the light blocking state, the first operation unit 51 is disposed at the second position P12, and the ON signal is transmitted. The effect control unit 22 that has received the subsequent predetermined effect, that is, the second operation effect AC12 (AC12P, AC12R, AC12Y, AC12B) as shown in C to F of FIG. 23, is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6. (See YES in S3103 → S3104 in FIG. 31 → see S3105). Then, after the predetermined time has elapsed (for example, after the operation effective time has elapsed 3 seconds), the display of the second operation effect AC12 is stopped (see YES in S3107 of FIG. 29 → S3108), and the G in FIG. As shown in the figure, the decorative symbol variation effect is resumed and the rotational drive of the vibration motor 181 is stopped (YES in S4005 → S4008 in FIG. 32), and the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 55 is the normal lighting pattern. In step S5005 → S5008 in FIG. 33 (see YES → S5010), the effect control unit 22 transmits a predetermined command to the image control unit 23 and the lamp control unit 24. Further, in the stopper mechanism 84, after detecting that the first operation unit 51 has returned to the initial position P10, that is, after the effect control unit 22 has detected that the detection piece 69 has shielded the operation detection SW 107, The control unit 22 arranges the stopper 85 at the restriction position RP that can come into contact with the locking protrusion 80 with respect to the lamp control unit 24, that is, the translucent state in which the rotation angle detection SW 94 is not shielded by the detection piece 93. The drive motor 92 is driven so that

  In the case of the embodiment, the second operation effect AC12 is displayed corresponding to the selected variation effect pattern, and as shown in FIG. 23C as the first display AC12P by the ON signal of the operation detection SW 108. In addition, it is assumed that the ally character PC1 and the power meter symbol PM are displayed, and further, the duration of the ON signal of the operation detection SW 108 accompanying the long press operation (or the case where the ON signal is turned on again even if released. In addition, the scale of the power meter symbol PM rises in accordance with the ON signal integration time), and the teammate character PC1 performs an effect of accumulating power. Then, when the effective time has elapsed, as shown in D, E, and F of FIG. 23, a second display is displayed as a suggestive effect that suggests the ratio of the expected degree of jackpot. Specifically, the second display AC12R (see D in FIG. 23) of the second operation effect AC12 that displays the teammate character PC1 and the stored power meter symbol PM with the background color red, and the teammate character PC1 with the background color yellow. And a second display AC12Y (see E of FIG. 23) for displaying the stored power meter symbol PM and a second display AC12B (see FIG. 23) for displaying the ally character PC1 and the power meter symbol PM with a blue background color. There are three types. Note that the degree of expectation is AC12R> AC12Y> AC12B.

In the variation effect pattern in which the second operation effect AC12 is selected, the ratio of AC12R, AC12Y, and AC12B displayed is
For jackpot,
AC12R is 60%
AC12Y is 30%
AC12B is 10%
In case of loss,
AC12R is 10%
AC12Y is 30%
AC12B is 60%
It is set to be displayed at the selected ratio.

  Further, in the power meter symbol PM of the second display AC12R, AC12Y, AC12B of each second operation effect AC12, if the ON signal from the operation detection SW 108 within the operation effective time is 2 seconds or more, the display of FIG. As shown in the power meter symbol PMM shown, “Max” indicates that the scale of the power meter symbol PM reaches the upper end, and further displays red, and the ON signal from the operation detection SW 108 is 1 second or more and 2 seconds. If it is less, the power meter symbol PMF shown in E of FIG. 23 indicates “Full Power”, the power meter symbol PM reaches the upper end, and the ON signal from the operation detection SW 108 is 1. If it is less than 2 seconds, the scale of the power meter symbol PM is 80% as “Power Up” as in the power meter symbol PMH shown in FIG. As the display has been reached, their power meter design PMM, PMF, PMH, respectively, the second display AC12R, AC12Y, is displayed in combination with AC12B. Therefore, if the long pressing time of the first operation unit 51 is short (ON signal from the operation detection SW 108 is 1 second or more and less than 2 seconds), the power meter can be used even if the second display AC12R with a high expectation level of the big hit is used. The symbol PM may be displayed as a “Power Up” power meter symbol PMH.

  Further, in the case of the embodiment, the operation detection SW 107 is turned on before the presentation control unit 22 displays the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G12 of FIG. 23B by the image control unit 23. It is determined whether or not (translucent state), and if the operation detection SW 107 is turned on, that is, if the first operation unit 51 is pushed down to the first position P11, the protruding piece 85a of the stopper 85 is Since the locking projection 80 of the operation position restricting member 78 is in contact, if the stopper 85 is rotated in this state, the frictional resistance increases and a load is applied to the drive motor 92. Therefore, the effect control unit 22 prevents the drive motor 92 from being loaded, that is, does not move the stopper 85 to the restriction release position FP. (Long press operation guidance image) G12 is not displayed (YES in S3102 in FIG. 31; refer to RTN), and a vibration device operation command (see S4001 in FIG. 32) or an operation guidance lighting command (S5001 in FIG. 33) Is not output. Therefore, the lamp control unit 24 keeps the stopper 85 placed at the restriction position RP, does not operate the first vibration device 180, and maintains the state in which the light emitting unit 55 is lit in the normal sequential light emission pattern. To do. Then, as shown in G of FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, the effect control unit 22 transmits a predetermined command to the image control unit 23 so as to resume the subsequent predetermined decorative symbol variation effect.

  In the second operation of the first operation unit 51 at this time, when the first operation unit 51 is pushed down to the vicinity of the first position P11, the springs 73 and 73 having a small repulsive force are compressed. If the spring 95 is compressed beyond the first position P11, the spring 95 has a large repulsive force and is pressed down with a strong force. Further, the vibrating first operating portion 51 has a large operation amount S12. Therefore, the player can obtain a feeling of achievement of the long press operation sufficiently.

  Further, even when the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G12 is displayed and the light emitting unit 55 emits light in the simultaneous blinking pattern, the first operation unit 51 is moved to the second position within the predetermined effective time. If it is not arranged at P12, that is, if the first operation unit 51 is not operated for the second time, the effect control unit 22 stops the display of the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G12 (FIG. 31). S3104 NO → See S3106 YES → S3108), and send a predetermined command to the image control unit 23 so as to display the subsequent decorative symbol variation effect, that is, shift from B to G in FIG. At the same time, the lamp control unit 24 stops the driving of the vibration motor 181 (see S4005 → S4008 in FIG. 32 YES → S4010), and also stops the simultaneous blinking pattern of the light emitting unit 55, and the normal sequential light emission pattern. (S5005 in FIG. 33) → YES at S5008 → See S5010). Furthermore, at this time, if the stopper mechanism 84 detects the state in which the first operation unit 51 is disposed at the initial position P10, in other words, the detection piece 69 shields the operation detection SW 107 from light. If the control part 22 has detected, the production | generation control part 22 will arrange | position the stopper 85 to the control position RP which can contact | abut with the latching protrusion 80 with respect to the lamp | ramp control part 24, ie, rotation angle detection. The drive motor 92 is driven so that the SW 94 is in a translucent state that is not shielded by the detection piece 93.

  Incidentally, the decorative pattern change effect after the second operation effect will be described. For example, in FIG. 24A through FIG. 23G, the teammate character PC1 hits the enemy character RC1, and the change effect pattern is a big hit. , The enemy character RC1 is blown off, the decorative symbol variation is stopped, and the decorative symbol for notifying the jackpot is fixedly stopped and displayed as shown in B, C, and D of FIG. . On the other hand, if the variation effect pattern is based on the loss, as shown in E, F, and G of FIG. 24, the enemy character RC1 does not fall down, the decoration symbol variation is stopped, and the decoration symbol that notifies the loss. Is confirmed and stopped.

4). Example of production of second operation of second operation unit On the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, for example, the reach production shown in D of FIG. 25 develops, and as shown in A of FIG. When the battle effect with the side character RC2 is displayed and the timing for executing the second operation effect of the second operation unit 121 has arrived (YES in S3101 of FIG. 31 → NO in S3102 → NO S3103), it is shown in B of FIG. As described above, the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G22 for causing the second operation unit 121 to be pressed is displayed as the long operation amount S22 from the initial position P20 to the second position P22. This second operation guide image G22 suggests a long press as well as a syringe image RI2 that holds the same red syringe as the second operation unit 121 and pushes the plunger so as to suggest the operation of the second operation unit 121. It consists of a “long press” character image RW2. When the second operation guide image G22 is displayed, the player holds and pushes the operation grip portion 123 on the distal end portion 121b side of the second operation portion 121 (from the two-dot chain line in FIG. 20B). (See solid line). At this time, in the lamp control unit 24, the projection piece 135 a of the stopper 135 in the stopper mechanism 134 is arranged at the restriction release position FP where it does not come into contact with the locking protrusion 130 of the operation position restriction member 128 by a command from the effect control unit 22. That is, that is, until the detection piece 143 turns ON (shields) the rotation angle detection SW 144, the drive motor 142 is rotated to rotate the drive gear 141, and the guide pin 137 is rotated together with the meshed driven gear 140. . Further, the lamp control unit 24 rotates the vibration motor 186 of the second vibration device 185 in response to a command from the effect control unit 22 to vibrate the second operation unit 121 (YES in S4001 in FIG. 32: YES → S4002). NO → S4004 and NO → S4006) Further, as the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 125, the effect lamp 57 is lit as a simultaneous flashing pattern (special lighting pattern) from a normal sequential light emitting pattern (normal lighting pattern) (FIG. 33). In S5001, YES → S5002 NO → S5004 NO → S5006) At this time, the light emitting unit 55 of the first operation unit 51 turns on the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting unit 55 as a normal sequential light emission pattern.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13C, if the operation detection SW 158 is turned on from the light transmitting state to the light blocking state, the second operation unit 121 is disposed at the second position P22, and the ON signal is transmitted. The received effect control unit 22 receives the subsequent predetermined effect, that is, the second operation effect AC22 (AC22P, AC22R, AC22Y, AC22B) as shown in C to F of FIG. (See YES in S3103 → S3104 in FIG. 31 → see S3105). Then, after the predetermined time has elapsed, the display of the second operation effect AC22 is stopped (YES in S3107 of FIG. 31; see S3108), and the decorative symbol variation effect is restarted as shown in G of FIG. 26 and FIG. Then, the rotational drive of the vibration motor 186 is stopped (refer to YES → S4010 in S4006 → S4009 in FIG. 32), and the light emission pattern of the light emitting unit 125 is returned to the normal lighting pattern (in S5006 → S5009 in FIG. 33). YES → See S5010), the production control unit 22 transmits a predetermined command to the image control unit 23 and the lamp control unit 24. Further, in the stopper mechanism 134, after detecting that the second operation unit 121 has returned to the initial position P20, that is, after the effect control unit 22 has detected that the detection piece 127 has shielded the operation detection SW 157, the effect The control unit 22 arranges the stopper 135 at the restriction position RP that can come into contact with the locking projection 130 with respect to the lamp control unit 24, that is, the translucent state where the rotation angle detection SW 144 is not shielded by the detection piece 143. The drive motor 142 is driven so that

  In the case of the embodiment, the second operation effect AC22 is displayed corresponding to the selected variation effect pattern, and any final display (second display) AC22R from the initial display (first display) AC22P. The effect is to display AC22Y and AC22B. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26C, from the initial display (first display) AC22P in which the friend character PC2 holds a predetermined item (sword), the number of stars displayed around the item is An effect that increases as appropriate and displays any one of the final displays (second display) AC22R, AC22Y, and AC22B (see D, E, and F in FIG. 26) that display the three types of jackpot expectations according to the number of stars. It is said. In the case of the embodiment, the expectation degree of jackpot is to display the power level (sharpness) of the item (sword) held by the teammate character PC2 by the number of stars, and in the second operation effect, As a final display (second display), AC22R (see D in FIG. 26) displays the most stars with a red background color, and AC22B (F in FIG. 26) displays a blue background with the most stars. A small number is displayed, and AC22Y (E in FIG. 26) is displayed with a little background with a yellow background color. That is, the degree of expectation is AC22R> AC22Y> AC22B.

In the variation effect pattern in which the second operation effect AC22 is selected, the ratio of AC22R, AC22Y, and AC22B displayed is
For jackpot,
AC22R is 60%
AC22Y is 30%
AC22B is 10%
In case of loss,
AC22R is 10%
AC22Y is 30%
AC22B is 60%
It is set to be displayed at the selected ratio.

  Further, in the case of the embodiment, the effect control unit 22 has the operation detection SW 157 turned on before displaying the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G22 of FIG. 26B by the image control unit 23. It is determined whether or not (translucent state), and if the operation detection SW 157 is ON, that is, if the second operation unit 121 is pressed down to the first position P21, the protruding piece 135a of the stopper 135 is Since the locking projection 130 of the operation position restricting member 128 is in contact, if the stopper 135 is rotated in this state, the frictional resistance increases and a load is applied to the drive motor 142. Therefore, the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) of FIG. 26B by the image control unit 23 so that the drive motor 142 is not loaded, that is, the stopper 135 is not moved to the restriction release position FP. G22 is not displayed (see YES → RTN in S3102 of FIG. 31), and the vibration device operation command (see S4001 of FIG. 32) and the operation guidance lighting command (see S5001 of FIG. 33) are not output to the lamp control unit 24. Therefore, the lamp control unit 24 keeps the stopper 135 placed at the restriction position RP, does not operate the second vibration device 185, and maintains the state in which the light emitting unit 125 is lit in the normal sequential light emission pattern. To do. Then, as shown in G of FIG. 26 and FIG. 27, the effect control unit 22 transmits a predetermined command to the image control unit 23 so as to resume the subsequent predetermined decorative symbol variation effect.

  Note that even if the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G22 is displayed and the light emitting unit 125 emits light in the simultaneous blinking pattern, the second operation unit 121 is moved to the second position within the predetermined effective time. If it is not arranged at P22, that is, if the second operation unit 121 is not operated for the second time, the effect control unit 22 stops the display of the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G22 (FIG. 31). S3104 NO → See S3106 YES → S3108), and send a predetermined command to the image control unit 23 so as to display the subsequent decorative symbol variation effect, that is, to shift from B to G in FIG. At the same time, the lamp controller 24 stops the driving of the vibration motor 186 (refer to YES → S4010 in S4006 → S4009 in FIG. 32), and also stops the simultaneous blinking pattern of the light emitting part 125, and the normal sequential light emitting pattern. (Fig. See YES → S5010 in S5006 → S5009 of 3). Furthermore, at this time, if the stopper mechanism 134 detects the state where the second operation unit 121 is disposed at the initial position P20, in other words, the detection piece 127 produces an effect that the operation detection SW 157 is shielded from light. If the control part 22 has detected, the production | presentation control part 22 will arrange | position the stopper 135 to the control position RP which can be contact | abutted with the latching protrusion 130 with respect to the lamp | ramp control part 24, ie, rotation angle detection. The drive motor 142 is driven so that the SW 144 is in a translucent state that is not shielded by the detection piece 143.

  Incidentally, the decorative pattern change effect after the second operation effect by the second operation unit 121 will be described. For example, in FIG. 27A after G in FIG. If the variation effect pattern is based on the jackpot, as shown in B, C, and D of FIG. 27, the enemy character RC2 is cut, the decoration symbol variation is stopped, and the decoration symbol for notifying the jackpot is displayed. The fixed stop will be displayed. On the other hand, if the variation effect pattern is based on a loss, as shown in E, F, and G of FIG. 27, the sword is broken, the enemy character RC2 is not cut, and the decorative symbol variation is stopped. Then, the decorative symbol for notifying the loss is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  In the embodiment, when the second operation guidance images G12 and G22 of the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 are displayed and the first and second vibration devices 180 and 185 are operated, in the above description, When the second operation guidance image G12 of the first operation unit 51 is displayed to guide the second operation (long press operation) of the first operation unit 51, only the vibration motor 181 of the first vibration device 180 is driven. However, the vibration motor 181 of the first vibration device 180 may be driven and the vibration motor 186 of the second vibration device 185 may be driven (refer to YES → S4002 in S4001 and YES → S4003 in FIG. 32). Of course, even when guiding the second operation (long-pressing operation) of the second operation unit 121, in the above description, only the vibration motor 186 of the second vibration device 185 is driven. The vibration motor 186 of 185 may be driven, and the vibration motor 181 of the first vibration device 180 may be driven (YES in S4001 of FIG. 32 → YES in S4002 → see S4003). Thus, if the vibration motors 181 and 186 of the first and second vibration devices 180 and 185 are driven together, the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 can be vibrated greatly, and the long press A sense of accomplishment can be given to the player.

(4) Functions and effects of the embodiment ◇ A.
1.
In the gaming machine (1) of the embodiment, an operation means (operation device 47) having an operation unit (51, 121) that can be pressed by the player,
Effect control means (sub-control unit 25) capable of displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display unit (6);
With
The operation means (operation device 47)
The operation unit (51, 121) includes a front end surface (51c, 121c) that can be pressed and an outer peripheral surface (51d, 121d) that can be held and pressed, and
The operation completion position when the operation unit (51, 121) is pressed down includes a first position (P11, P21) and a second position (P12, P22) that is different from the first position. Configured, and
A vibration device (180, 185) capable of vibrating the operation unit (51, 121),
The production control means (sub control unit 25)
Corresponding to the first operation of disposing the operation unit (51, 121) of the operation means at the first position (P11, P21), the first operation effect (AC11, AC21) is displayed on the image display unit (6). Can be displayed on the
The second operation effect (AC12, AC22) can be displayed on the image display unit (6) in response to the second operation of arranging the operation unit of the operation means at the second position (P12, P22). It is characterized by that.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, when the operation units 51 and 121 are pressed down to the first positions P11 and P21 or the second positions P12 and P22 that are different from the first position, FIG. , 25, 26, the corresponding first operation effects AC11, AC21 and second operation effects AC12, AC22 are displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, when the operation gripping portions 53 and 123 of the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 are pressed, the front end surfaces 51c and 121c may be pressed, Even if the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d are held and pressed, both can be operated. That is, the operation completion positions are the first positions P11, P21 and the second positions P12, P22 which are different from each other. Even if the operation amounts S11, S21, S12, S22 are large or small, only the front end surfaces 51c, 121c are appropriate. (Refer to the first operation unit 51 in FIG. 21A), or grip and grip the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d in the vicinity of the tip surfaces 51c and 121c while applying the palm to the tip surfaces 51c and 121c. 21 (see the second operation unit 121 in FIG. 21A and the first operation unit 51 in FIG. 21B), or mainly holding and pressing the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d (see B in FIG. 21). The second operation unit 121 can be operated, so that there are many variations of operation modes (tapping and pressing operation, pinching and pressing operation, or gripping and pressing operation), and the operation device 47 can be operated happily.

  Then, the first operation effects AC11, AC21 and the second operation effects AC12, AC22 are displayed in response to operations to different operation positions (first positions P11, P21 and second positions P12, P22). Since the operation effects (first operation effects AC11, AC21 and second operation effects AC12, AC22) are displayed in addition to variations in the operation mode, the operation device 47 can be operated more enjoyably. .

  Furthermore, if the operation units 51 and 121 vibrate by the operation of the vibration devices 180 and 185 during the pressing operation, it is easier to feel vibration with a palm or the like, and the operation can be performed more interestingly. In particular, the tip 51b side away from the storage unit 100 protrudes in a cantilever shape, and the amplitude is increased, so that the operation can be made interesting.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation units 51 and 121 of the operation device 47 as the operation means can be operated happily, and the interest of the game can be improved.

2.
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operating device 47 as the operating means includes the first operating unit 51 and the second operating unit with the protruding lengths L1 and L2 increased as the operating unit, and the plurality of the first operating units. Even if the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 depress the front end surfaces 51c and 121c, or grasp and depress the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d, the operation grasping that enables a push-in operation. The parts 53 and 123 are provided.

  In such a configuration, since there are a plurality of operation units that can be pushed in as the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121, the number of operation units that can be operated by the player is increased, and a game can be enjoyed. Of course, if this point is not taken into consideration, only the first operation unit 51 or the second operation unit 121 may be configured.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, between the first operation unit 51 on the left side and the second operation unit 121 on the right side, the effect as an operation unit that can be operated to be pushed down diagonally backward and downward by the face effect button device 190. A button 191 is provided, and the number of operation units that can be pressed by the player is further increased, so that the game can be enjoyed. When the vibration device 180 is operated during these operations, the operation units 51, 121, and 191 vibrate during the pressing operation, so that a sense of achievement of the pressing operation is generated, which can contribute to an improvement in the fun of the game.

3.
In the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the operation device 47 as the operation means has the second operation unit 121 capable of vibrating the second operation unit 121 separately from the first vibration device 180 as the vibration device capable of vibrating the first operation unit 51. The vibration device 185 is configured.

  In such a configuration, when the second operation unit 121 is operated, if the vibration motor 181 of the second vibration device 185 is driven to vibrate the second operation unit 121, the player performs the second operation to perform the push-in operation. The second operation unit 121 can be depressed (push-in operation) by accurately feeling the vibration of the unit 121, and a sense of achievement of the push-in operation can be felt, so that the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  Of course, the operation device 47 may be configured such that the second operation device 121 is vibrated by the first vibration device 180 without providing the second vibration device 185.

4).
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the first vibration device 180 and the second vibration device 185 have vibration motors 181 and 186 in which vibrators 183 and 188 are provided on the rotation drive shafts 182 and 187, respectively. The axial directions V1 and V2 of the rotary drive shafts 182 and 187 are arranged along the axial directions X1 and X2 corresponding to the operation directions of the corresponding first operation unit 51 or second operation unit 121 in the vicinity. I am letting.

  In such a configuration, when the first vibration device 180 rotates the vibrator 183 to generate vibration, the vibration acts in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the first operation unit 51, so that the distal end portion on the free end side The 51b side can be easily shaken, and the first operation unit 51 can be effectively vibrated. Similarly, in the second vibration device 185, if the vibration is generated by rotating the vibrator 188, the vibration acts in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the second operation unit 121, so the free end side 121b side The second operation unit 121 can be vibrated effectively. Further, the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 are arranged so as to cross the axial directions X1 and X2. For this reason, if the first and second vibration devices 180 and 185 are operated simultaneously, vibrations with amplitudes in different directions are applied, so that the amplitude can be increased so as to resonate, and the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 can be vibrated greatly as compared with the case where the vibration motors 181 and 186 are operated alone. That is, in the embodiment, when the vibration motors 181 and 186 of the first and second vibration devices 180 and 185 are simultaneously operated, an action similar to resonance works, and the vibration motors 181 of the first and second vibration devices 180 and 185 are separately provided. , 186 can be vibrated more greatly than when the first operation unit 51 or the second operation unit 121 is operated, and a sense of achievement is further enhanced when the player push-in operation is completed, thereby further enhancing the interest of the game. Can do.

  In the embodiment, the axial directions V1 and V2 of the rotary drive shafts 182 and 187 intersect with each other at approximately one intersection, but they may be disposed so as to intersect with each other.

  Of course, if the strong vibration is not taken into consideration, the first and second operation units 51 and 121 and the rotary drive shafts 182 and 187 are arranged so that the axial directions X1, X2, V1, and V2 are parallel to each other. May be.

5.
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, at the time of the first operation in which the small operation amounts S11 and S21 of the first and second operation units 51 and 121 are pushed, the large operation amount S12 without operating the vibration devices 180 and 185. , S22, the vibration devices 180 and 185 are operated to vibrate the operation units 51 and 121 during the second operation. In the case of the embodiment, in the first operation unit 51, the operation amount S11 of the first operation is 4 mm, the operation amount S12 of the second operation is 30 mm, and in the second operation unit 121, the operation amount S21 of the first operation is 3 mm. The operation amount S22 of the second operation is 30 mm.

  In such a configuration, the first operation of a short press does not vibrate, and the operation units 51 and 121 vibrate at the time of the second operation of pressing deeply, so that the player can further complete the pressing operation of the second operation. The feeling of achievement at the time increases, and the operation units 51 and 121 can be operated happily.

  Of course, it is also possible to vibrate during the first operation of the operation units 51 and 121. Conversely, the vibration may be performed only during the first operation with a small operation amount. Alternatively, it may be configured to vibrate only when the expected value of the jackpot is large, during one operation of the second operation or the first operation, or during both the first operation and the second operation. .

The operation unit (51, 121) includes a tip surface (51c, 121c) that can be pressed and an outer peripheral surface (51d, 121d) that can be held and pressed, and
The operation completion position when the operation unit (51, 121) is pressed is configured to include a first position (P11, P21) and a second position (P12, P22) that is different from the first position. ,
The production control means (sub control unit 25)
The first operation effect (AC11, AC21) can be displayed on the image display unit (6) in response to the first operation of arranging the operation units (51, 121) of the operation means at the first position (P11, P21). And
The second operation effect (AC12, AC22) can be displayed on the image display unit (6) in response to the second operation in which the operation unit of the operation unit is arranged at the second position (P12, P22). To do.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, when the operation units 51 and 121 are pressed down to the first positions P11 and P21 or the second positions P12 and P22 that are different from the first position, FIG. , 25, 26, the corresponding first operation effects AC11, AC21 and second operation effects AC12, AC22 are displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, when the operation gripping portions 53 and 123 of the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 are pressed, the front end surfaces 51c and 121c may be pressed, Even if the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d are held and pressed, both can be operated. That is, the operation completion positions are the first positions P11, P21 and the second positions P12, P22 which are different from each other. Even if the operation amounts S11, S21, S12, S22 are large or small, only the front end surfaces 51c, 121c are appropriate. (Refer to the first operation unit 51 in FIG. 21A), or grip and grip the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d in the vicinity of the tip surfaces 51c and 121c while applying the palm to the tip surfaces 51c and 121c. 21 (see the second operation unit 121 in FIG. 21A and the first operation unit 51 in FIG. 21B), or mainly holding and pressing the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d (see B in FIG. 21). The second operation unit 121 can be operated, so that there are many variations of operation modes (tapping and pressing operation, pinching and pressing operation, or gripping and pressing operation), and the operation device 47 can be operated happily.

  Then, the first operation effects AC11, AC21 and the second operation effects AC12, AC22 are displayed in response to operations to different operation positions (first positions P11, P21 and second positions P12, P22). Since the operation effects (first operation effects AC11, AC21 and second operation effects AC12, AC22) are displayed in addition to variations in the operation mode, the operation device 47 can be operated more enjoyably. .

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation units 51 and 121 of the operation device 47 as the operation means can be operated happily, and the interest of the game can be improved.

2.
In the case of the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 22, 23, 25, and 26, the first operation effects AC <b> 11 and AC <b> 21 that are displayed when the first positions P <b> 11 and P <b> 21 of the operation units 51 and 121 are pressed, and the second position The second operation effects AC12 and AC22 that are displayed when a press operation is performed on P12 and P22 are completely different effect images, and not only variations in operation modes but also operation effects (first operation effects AC11, AC21 and second operation effects). Since various variations of the two-operation effects AC12, AC22) are also displayed, the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Of course, the first operation effects AC11 and AC21 and the second operation effects AC12 and AC22 are not completely different effect images, and the first operation effect AC11 and the second operation effect AC12 or the first operation effect AC21. The second operation effect AC22 may be the same effect, for example, the second operation effect AC22 in FIG. 26 may be the effect AC21 shown in C to F in FIG. Alternatively, the first operation effect AC21 in FIG. 25 may be displayed as the second operation effect in FIG.

3.
In the case of the embodiment, the second operation guide image (long press operation guide image) G12 is such that the first operation with a small operation amount S11 is a short press operation and the second operation with a long operation amount S12 is a long press operation. Is displayed at the second position P12, the first effect (initial image) AC12P of the second operation effect AC12 is displayed, and the long press operation is continued (input of the ON signal of the lower operation switch 108). The effect of increasing the scale of the power meter symbol PM is displayed. Therefore, since the operation amount S12 is large and the second operation effect AC12P can be enjoyed by the long press operation, the interest of the game can be further improved in the second operation of the first operation unit 51.

  In the second operation unit 121, if the second operation is performed, that is, if the pressing operation is performed up to the second position P22, the second operation effect is maintained without maintaining the long pressing state (without maintaining the pressing operation). The initial display (first display) AC22P of AC22 is displayed, and then the final display (second display) AC22R and the like are displayed. Incidentally, in this case, although the operation amount S22 is long, it is the same as the one-press operation.

  In the case of the embodiment, when guiding the second operation having a large operation amount S12, S22, the character pattern BI2, RI2 of “long press” is displayed. However, it can be emphasized that the operation amount S12, S22 is large. The character symbols BI2 and RI2 may be guide symbols that can suggest that the manipulated variables S12 and S22 such as “stab deeply” or “push in” are large. Furthermore, if the operation amounts S12 and S22 of the second operation are not significantly different from the operation amounts S11 and S21 of the first operation, when guiding the second operation, simply as with the first operation guide images G11 and G21. , “Stab” or “press”.

4). Example of repeated striking operation When the operation amounts S11 and S21 of the operation units 51 and 121 are small, that is, in the embodiment, when performing the first operation, the striking operation may be performed.

(Standing effect of the first operation unit)
For example, when the first operation unit 51 is first operated, a first operation effect may be performed by performing an operation of repeatedly hitting. On the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, for example, the reach effect shown in FIG. 22D is developed, and as shown in FIG. 28A, the battle effect between the teammate character PC1 and the enemy character RC1 is displayed. When the timing for executing the first operation effect of the first operation unit 51 comes (see YES in S3001 of FIG. 30 → S3002), as shown in B of FIG. 28, the first operation unit 51 is moved from the initial position P10 to the first. A first operation guide image (continuous hit operation guide image) G11A that is pressed down to the position P11 is displayed, and the player moves the tip of the operation grip portion 53 on the tip portion 51b side of the first operation portion 51 within the effective time. If the face 51c is repeatedly hit and pressed (see YES in S3003 in FIG. 30; see S3004), the first operation effect AC11A that causes the teammate character PC1 to punch the enemy character RC1 is displayed for each operation (C in FIG. 28). Irradiation). After that (see YES in S3006 in FIG. 30 → S3007), for example, if the variation effect pattern is based on a jackpot, the enemy character RC1 jumps (or falls) as shown in FIGS. ), The decorative symbol variation may be stopped, and the decorative symbol for notifying the jackpot may be displayed in a fixed stop state. On the other hand, if the variation effect pattern is based on loss, as shown in F and G of FIG. 28, the enemy character RC1 does not fall down, the decoration symbol variation is stopped, and the decoration symbol for notifying the loss is confirmed. You may make it stop-display.

(Consecutive performance of the second operation unit)
Similarly, when the second operation unit 121 is operated for the first time, a first operation effect may be performed by performing an operation of repeatedly hitting. On the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, for example, the reach effect shown in FIG. 25D is developed, and as shown in FIG. 29A, the battle effect between the teammate character PC2 and the enemy character RC2 is displayed. When the timing for executing the first operation effect of the second operation unit 121 comes (see YES in S3001 of FIG. 30 → S3002), as shown in FIG. 29B, the second operation unit 121 is moved from the initial position P20 to the first. A first operation guide image (continuous hit operation guide image) G21A to be pressed down to the position P21 is displayed, and within the effective time, the player can move the tip of the operation grip portion 53 on the tip portion 51b side of the second operation portion 121. If the pressing operation is performed by repeatedly hitting the surface 51c (see YES in S3003 in FIG. 30), the first operation effect AC21A in which the ally character PC2 is eager and presses the sword against the enemy character RC2 for each operation. Display (see C in FIG. 29). After that (see YES in S3006 in FIG. 30 → S3007), for example, if the variation effect pattern is based on a jackpot, the enemy character RC2 is cut as shown in FIGS. May be stopped, and a decorative symbol for notifying the jackpot may be displayed in a fixed stop state. On the other hand, if the variation effect pattern is based on a loss, as shown in FIGS. 29F and 29G, the enemy character RC2 does not fall down, the decoration symbol variation is stopped, and the decoration symbol for notifying the loss is confirmed. You may make it stop-display.

  In the above case, the player is guided by a long operation to place the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 at the second positions P12 and P22, and the long operation is performed, that is, B in FIG. 29B and FIG. 29B, as shown in FIG. 23B and FIG. 26B, the second operation guidance of “long press” that causes the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121 to be operated secondly. The images G12 and G22 are displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, and then C in FIG. 28 and C in FIG. 29 are displayed as a second operation effect corresponding to the second operation, and then D in FIG. , E, or F, G in FIG. 28, or D, E in FIG. 29, or F, G in FIG. 29 may be displayed.

  Of course, in B of FIG. 28 and B of FIG. 29, the first operation portion 51 and the second operation portion 121 are arranged at the first positions P11 and P21, and the one-time push of B in FIG. 22 and B in FIG. 25 is performed. If the first operation guidance images G11 and G21 are displayed and there is an operation, C in FIG. 28 or C in FIG. 29 is displayed as the first operation effect, and then D or E in FIG. 28 or FIG. F and G may be displayed, D and E in FIG. 29, or F and G in FIG. 29 may be displayed.

5. (Use behavior (signal) when passing the first position during the second operation)
In the embodiment, when the second operation effect is displayed by performing the second operation on the first operation unit 51, the operation is performed up to the second position P12, that is, by the ON signal of the lower operation detection SW 108 (YES in S3104 of FIG. 31). → See S3105), the corresponding second operation effect AC12 is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6 (see C to F in FIG. 23). However, when operating up to the second position P12, before the lower operation detection SW 108 is turned on, the first operation unit 51 passes the first position P11 and the upper operation detection SW 107 is turned on. As the preliminary effect of the operation effect AC12, the first display AC12P of C in FIG. 23 is displayed, and then when reaching the second position P12 and the lower operation detection SW 108 is turned on, the main effect of the second operation effect AC12 As shown in FIG. 23, an effect of increasing the scale of the power meter symbol PM in C of FIG. 23 is displayed, and the second displays AC12R, AC12Y, and AC12B of FIGS. It may be configured.

  Such a process can be performed, for example, by a first operation unit second operation process as shown in FIG. In the first operation unit second operation process shown in FIG. 36, the effect control unit 22 determines whether or not it is time to execute the second operation effect during the execution of the variation effect pattern (S3201). If not (NO in S3201), the process is completed, and if it is the timing (YES in S3201), the process proceeds to S3202, and the player has already entered the first position P11 so as not to apply an unnecessary load to the drive motor 92. In order to confirm that the upper operation detection SW 107 is not pressed, it is determined whether or not the upper operation detection SW 107 is ON. If it is ON (YES in S3202), the process ends. If it is not ON (NO in S3202), the corresponding operation is performed. The operation guidance image (G12 (see B in FIG. 23)) is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6 (S3203), and the process proceeds to S3204.

  In S3104 that has been shifted, it is determined whether or not the first operation unit 51 has been pressed and passed through the first position P11, that is, whether or not the upper operation detection SW 107 has been turned on. If turned on (YES in S3204), A corresponding effect image, that is, an operation preliminary effect image (first display) AC12P is displayed (S3206). If the upper operation detection SW 107 is not turned ON within the effective time (NO in S3204 → YES in S3205), the process proceeds to S3212 and the display of the operation guidance image (G12) is stopped. In addition, after the operation preliminary effect image (first display) AC12P is displayed, the first operation unit 51 does not reach the second position P12 within the effective time and the second operation is not completed (NO in S3207). (YES in S3208), the process proceeds to S3212 to stop displaying the operation preliminary effect image (first display) AC12P. On the other hand, after the operation preliminary effect image (first display) AC12P is displayed, if the first operation unit 51 reaches the second position P12 within the effective time and the second operation is completed (YES in S3207), S3209. The operation preliminary effect image (first display) AC12P power meter symbol PM effect (the operation main effect first image) is displayed on the display screen 6a of the image display unit 6, and a predetermined time has elapsed. After (YES in S3210), the process proceeds to S3211 to display one of the operation main effect second images (operation main effect final image) AC12R, AC12Y, AC12B, and then stops the display (S3212). You just finish the process.

6).
In the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the operation units 51 and 121 increase the projecting lengths L1 and L2 from the storage units 100 and 150, and the first position (P11, P21) is the operation completion position during the pressing operation. And a second position (P12, P22) in which the operation amount (S12, S22) is longer than the first position (P11, P21). Specifically, the operation units 51 and 121 are configured to be larger than the opening dimensions d1 and d2 of the projecting ports 101 and 151 that project the operation units 51 and 121 in the storage units 100 and 150 (projection length L1). , L2> opening dimensions d1, d2). In the case of the embodiment, the protruding length L1 of the first operating portion 51 is about 110 mm, the opening dimension d1 of the protruding port 101 is about 40 mm, and is as large as about 2.75 times, which is twice or more the opening dimension d1. Is set. The protrusion length L2 of the second operation unit 121 is approximately 113 mm, the opening dimension d2 of the protrusion 151 is approximately 44 mm, and is set to be approximately 2.57 times or more than twice the opening dimension d2. Yes.

  Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation amounts S12, S22 of the operation units 51, 121 up to the second positions P12, P22 are the operation amounts S11, S21 of the operation units 51, 121 up to the first positions P11, P21. Is set to be at least twice as large. Specifically, in the case of the embodiment, in the first operation unit 51, the operation amount S12 of the second operation from the initial position P10 to the second position P12 is 30 mm, and the first operation P51 from the initial position P10 to the first position P11. Since the operation amount S11 for one operation is 4 mm, the operation amount S11 is set to a large value of 7.5 times that is twice or more the operation amount S11. In the second operation unit 121, the operation amount S22 of the second operation from the initial position P20 to the second position P22 is 30 mm, and the operation amount S21 of the first operation from the initial position P20 to the first position P21 is 3 mm. Therefore, it is set as large as 10 times, more than twice the operation amount S21.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation amounts S12, S22 of the second operation of the operation units 51, 121 are larger than the operation amounts S11, S21 of the first operation, and the long operation units 51, 121 are pushed in long. The operation device (operation means) 47 can be operated happily and the fun of the game can be improved.

  The opening dimensions d1 and d2 of the projecting ports 101 and 151 in the storage units 100 and 150 are the largest in the opening shape (projected area) of the projecting ports 101 and 105 along the operation directions X1 and X2 of the operation units 51 and 121. This is the size of the large opening width. Therefore, for example, if the operation units 51 and 121 have a rectangular cross section, the operation directions at the projecting ports 101 and 151 of the storage units 100 and 150 that store the base portions 51a and 121a side of the operation units 51 and 121 having the rectangular cross section. The opening shape along X1 and X2 is a rectangular opening, and the length dimension on the long side of the opening is the opening dimension d1 and d2.

  In the embodiment, the projecting ports 101 and 151 of the storage units 100 and 150 are arranged close to the outer peripheral surface on the lower end side of the cover bodies 52 and 122 exposed on the outer surface side of the operation units 51 and 121. The sleeves 106a and 156a of the outer covers 106 and 156 are openings, but the peripheral edges 173c and 175c of the fitting insertion portions 174 and 176 of the decorative panel portion 172 are connected to the operation portions 51 and 121 by the sleeve portions 106a and 156a. If they are protruding upward so as to cover the lower ends of the cover bodies 52 and 122 on the side of the original parts 51a and 121a, the fitting insertion parts 174 and 176 become the storage parts 100 and 150, and the fittings thereof The openings of the insertion portions 174 and 176 become the protruding ports 101 and 151. The projecting lengths L1 and L2 of the operation parts 51 and 121 are the lengths from the peripheral edges 173c and 175c of the fitting insertion parts 174 and 176 to the distal end surfaces 51c and 121c of the operation parts 51 and 121, respectively. That is, the storage units 100 and 150 that store the base parts 51a and 121a side of the operation parts 51 and 121 cover the base parts 51a and 121a side of the operation parts 51 and 121 close to each other so that they can be stored. It is a part arrange | positioned so that the front end surfaces 51c and 121c may be approached. The protrusions 101 and 151 of the storage units 100 and 150 are portions that open so as to surround the base portions 51a and 121a of the storage units 100 and 150 so as to be stored.

  Further, when the peripheral edges of the protruding ports 101 and 105 of the storage units 100 and 150 are uneven in the direction around the axis of the operation units 51 and 121, the storage units 100 and 150 of the operation units 51 and 121 The projecting lengths L1 and L2 are edges that are visible to the player at the periphery of the projecting ports 101 and 105, and are farthest from the distal end portions 51b and 121b of the operating units 51 and 121 along the operating directions X1 and X2. It is the length along the operation directions X1 and X2 from the edge to the front end surfaces 51c and 121c. It is desirable to define in this way because the parts stored in the storage units 100 and 150 of the operation units 51 and 121 can be viewed for a long time during operation. Of course, the protrusion lengths L1 and L2 are edges that can be seen by the player at the periphery of the protrusions 101 and 105, and are the leading ends 51b and 121b of the operation parts 51 and 121 along the operation directions X1 and X2. It may be a length along the operation directions X1 and X2 from the edge approaching to the tip surfaces 51c and 121c.

7).
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation unit 51 is disposed by connecting springs 73, 73, and 95 that are biased toward the pressing operation start position (initial position P <b> 10), and the springs 73, 73, and 95 are repelled. The force is set to be larger at the time of the pressing operation to the second position P12 than at the time of the pressing operation to the first position P11.

  That is, in the embodiment, in the first operation up to the first position P11 of the first operation portion 51, the springs 73 and 73 having a small repulsive force are arranged on the spring seats 96 and 78 supported by the spring 95 having a large repulsive force. The spring 73 having a small repulsive force is simply compressed so that the supported spring seat 66 side approaches. On the other hand, in the second operation up to the second position P12, the spring receiving seat 66 is brought into contact with the spring receiving seat 78 to bring the spring 73 into a constant compression state, and the spring receiving seat 96 on the spring receiving seat 78 side is moved downward. Since the spring 95 having a large repulsive force is greatly compressed so as to approach the spring receiving seat 97, the repulsive force in the second operation up to the second position P12 is larger than that in the first operation up to the first position P11. On the other hand, a pressing operation is performed with a long operation amount S12. For this reason, in the second operation of the first operation unit 51 of the embodiment, the player pushes the first operation unit 51 with a long operation amount S12 with great force, so that there is a sense of achievement when the operation is completed. , You can improve the fun of the game.

8).
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the first operation to the first positions P11 and P21 of the operation units 51 and 121 and the second operation to the second positions P12 and P22 of the operation units 51 and 121 are given to the player. Operation guide means for guiding (display control unit 22, image control unit 23, display screen 6a of image display unit 6, and display screen 6a of image display unit 6 controlled by display control unit 22 and image control unit 23) The first operation guide images G11 and G21 and the second operation guide images G12 and G22) to be displayed are as follows:
The operating means (the operating device 47) includes stopper mechanisms 84 and 134 having stoppers 85 and 135 for restricting the positions of the operating portions 51 and 121 at the first positions P11 and P21,
The stopper mechanisms 84 and 134 are arranged at the second position P12. It is configured so that the position restriction of the stoppers 85 and 135 can be released during the operation up to P22.
Operation guide means (display control unit 22, image control unit 23, display screen 6a of image display unit 6 and display screen 6a of image display unit 6 are controlled by display control unit 22 and image control unit 23. The first operation guide images G11 and G21 and the second operation guide images G12 and G22) detect contact with the stoppers 85 and 135 of the operation units 51 and 121 when the player tries to guide the second operation. If so, the second operation guidance is not performed (the second operation guidance images G12 and G22 are not displayed on the display screen 6a), and the stopper mechanisms 84 and 134 release the position restrictions of the stoppers 85 and 135. do not do.

  That is, in the embodiment, before attempting to display the second operation guidance images G12 and G22 on the display screen 6a, for example, the effect control unit 22 detects ON (translucent state) of the operation detection SWs 107 and 157. If the operation parts 51 and 121 are arranged at the first positions P11 and P21 and contact with the stoppers 85 and 135 of the locking projections 80 and 130 of the operation parts 51 and 121 is detected, If the drive motors 92 and 142 are driven so as to move the stoppers 85 and 135 from the restriction position RP to the restriction release position FP, a load that causes a failure on the drive motors 92 and 142 is applied due to frictional resistance. Therefore, before the second operation guide images G12 and G22 are displayed, the locking projections 80 and 130 of the operation units 51 and 121 are already in contact with the stoppers 85 and 135 so that such a load is not applied. If so, the second operation guidance is not performed (the second operation guidance images G12 and G22 are not displayed on the display screen 6a), and the stoppers 85 and 135 of the stopper mechanisms 84 and 134 are released from the restriction position RP. The drive motors 92 and 142 are not driven so as not to rotate to the position FP. Therefore, in the embodiment, the drive motors 92 and 142 of the stopper mechanisms 84 and 134 can be protected.

A gaming machine comprising an operating means (operating device 47) configured as described above,
When operated, the light emitting section (55, 125) is disposed so as to emit light in a predetermined direction on the side surface (51e, 121e) of the operation section.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, when the light emitting units 55 and 125 emit light (lights up), the light emitting units 55 and 125 emit light toward the predetermined direction on the side surfaces 51e and 121e of the operation units 51 and 121. The effect is high and you can play happily.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation units 51 and 121 of the operation device as the operation means can be operated happily, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  The direction of the light emitted from the light emitting units 55 and 125 during light emission, that is, the direction of the direct light SL that shines strongly is not the direction toward the back of the game board 2 that is easily reflected by the glass portion 11a, but the direction toward the player. The front side is desirable. In the case of the embodiment, as a diagonally forward side on the player side, a decoration body arranged at the center in the left-right direction of the dish unit portion 11b, that is, an effect button 191 such as a face mask of the face effect button device 190 is provided. It is set so as to illuminate the left and right irradiation areas A1, A2 (see FIG. 3) on the upper surface side. Therefore, at the time of lighting with a normal lighting pattern or a special lighting pattern at the time of gaming, the light-emitting portions 55 and 125 can shine light on the effect buttons 191 such as a mask as a decorative body, and can be noticed. The design effect of the light emitting portions 55 and 125 of the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment can be appealed to a person.

  Further, in the embodiment, since a plurality (six in the embodiment) effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) emit light in the same direction, the light receiving part is illuminated more brightly. Thus, the design effect by light emission can be further improved.

  Further, in the embodiment, a plurality of (six in the embodiment) effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, etc.) are provided on the side surfaces 51e and 121e of the operation parts 51 and 121 in a state of being long projected from the storage parts 100 and 150. 57d, 57e, 57f) are disposed along the axial directions (protruding directions) X1, X2 of the operating portions 51, 121 protruding long from the storage portions 100, 150, that is, along the operating direction. Therefore, if the light emitting units 55 and 125 on the side surfaces 51e and 121e emit light during movement of the operation units 51 and 121, they are turned on or blinking during the operation, or are turned off after being turned on. Even if it is time, the light emitting units 55 and 125 that are lit, flashing, and extinguished can be moved in accordance with the player's operation. You can feel a sense of unity, and you can operate it more happily.

2.
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the light emitting unit (55, 125) emits light as a special lighting pattern different from the normal lighting pattern before guidance when guiding the operation of the operation unit (51, 121). It is desirable.

  In the case of the embodiment, the normal lighting pattern is a sequential lighting pattern for sequentially lighting a plurality of effect lamps 57 (57a, 57b, 57c, 57d, 57e, 57f) as shown in A of FIG. When guiding, as shown in B of FIG. 34, as a special lighting pattern, a simultaneous blinking pattern in which a plurality of effect lamps 57 blink simultaneously is different from the normal lighting state. It is possible to attract attention, and the operation of the operation units 51 and 121 can be prompted by the player, and the player can easily operate the operation units 51 and 121.

  In the case of the embodiment, when the operation of the operation units 51 and 121 is guided, the normal lighting pattern is changed to the special lighting pattern. However, the normal lighting pattern is used not only for the game but also for the game. For example, the light emitting units 55 and 125 emit light even during a customer waiting demonstration. As a result, the gaming machine 1 during the demonstration of waiting for the customer who is not seated illuminates the effect button 191 such as a mask as a decorative object, and the decorative object (the effect button 191) or the gaming machine 1 itself. The gaming machine 1 of the embodiment can be appealed to the player.

  Of course, as a lighting pattern, any one of A to C in FIG. 34, D to F in FIG. 35, and the like may be used as a normal lighting pattern, and the other one may be used as a special lighting pattern. Further, as the normal lighting pattern other than the case of performing the operation guidance, different lighting patterns may be used at the time of gaming, at the demonstration of waiting for customers, at the time of jackpot gaming, and the like. Furthermore, by adopting any of the lighting patterns such as A to C in FIG. 34 and D to F in FIG. 35, the normal lighting pattern depending on whether the time for one cycle of repeating the lighting pattern is lengthened or shortened. And a special lighting pattern. In this case, in consideration of the point that it is easy for the player to pay attention, it is desirable that the special lighting pattern be a pattern of a short time of one cycle when distinguishing by the length of the time of one cycle.

  In addition, as a special lighting pattern that further prompts the operation of the operation units 51 and 121, it is desirable to turn on the effect lamps 57 of the light emitting units 55 and 125 along the pressing direction. For example, as described above, as shown in FIG. 34C, lighting of the effect lamps 57 of the light emitting units 55 and 125 in the pressing direction is effect lamps 57a → 57b → 57c → 57d → 57e → 57f ( Each of them may be 57a, 57b → 57c, 57d → 57e, 57f), or this may be repeated, or as shown in FIG. 35D, the effect lamps 57a → 57b → The number of lights 57c → 57d → 57e → 57f is increased and this is repeated, or as shown in FIG. 35F, the lamps are turned off sequentially from the all-light state, in order, the effect lamps 57a → 57b → 57c → 57d → 57e → 57f may be switched (two may be 57a, 57b → 57c, 57d → 57e, 57f), and this may be repeated.Further, as shown in E of FIG. 35, the effect lamps 57a, 57b, and 57c and the effect lamps 57d, 57e, and 57f may be turned on / off alternately.

  Further, as described above, the special lighting pattern is a pattern in which lighting / extinguishing from the effect lamp 57a to the effect lamp 57f is moved along the pressing operation direction of the operation units 51 and 121, as shown in FIG. In D and F of 35, the time (elapsed time) of one cycle repeated in the first operation is lengthened, and the time of one cycle is shortened in the second operation or vice versa. Good. Of course, even in the case of E in FIG. 35 and in the case of FIG. 34B in the embodiment, it is adopted as a special lighting pattern for operation guidance, and for the first operation, the time of those one cycle is lengthened. For two operations, the time of one cycle may be shortened, or the length of one cycle may be reversed. Furthermore, at the time of operation guidance between the first operation unit 51 and the second operation unit 121, one is different from one of C in FIG. 34, one of D and F in FIG. 35, and the other one of the other. You can make it.

  Further, the special lighting pattern is not only executed from the start of the guidance of the first operation or the second operation until the time when the operation effective time of the operation units 51 and 121 elapses, as in the embodiment, but the operation is completed. Until the end of the special symbol variation, or until the end of the operation effect corresponding to the operation (first operation effects AC11, AC12, AC21, AC22), or the determination result of the special symbol variation. If it is a big hit, the execution period may be set as appropriate, such as until the big hit game ends.

3.
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the operation units 51 and 121 have translucency arranged so as to cover the entire periphery of the light emitting units 55 and 125 from the base portions 51a and 121a to the tip portions 51b and 121b. The cover body 52, 122 having the configuration,
The cover bodies 52 and 122 are disposed so as to be rotatable in the direction around the axis of the operation units 51 and 121 with respect to the light emitting units 55 and 125.

  In such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cover bodies 52 and 122 can be rotated around the axial direction (axial center: coinciding with the axial center in the drawings) X1 and X2, so that Variations that allow the user to operate the operation units 51 and 121 can increase not only the pressing operation but also the rotation operation, so that the operation units 51 and 121 can be operated happily. Of course, even if the cover bodies 52 and 122 are rotated, only the cover bodies 52 and 122 rotate, and the direction in which the effect lamp 57 as the light emitters of the light emitting sections 55 and 125 emits light does not change. Thus, the lighting pattern of the effect lamp 57 can be stabilized.

  Further, transparent cover bodies 52 and 122 that are gripped when the player operates are disposed around the light-emitting portions 55 and 125, and the player is not configured to grip the light-emitting portions 55 and 125 themselves. The outer shape of the portions 55 and 125 can be made a shape that can enhance the decorativeness, and not only by the lighting effect of the light emitting portions 55 and 125 but also by the decorativeness due to the outer shape of the light emitting portions 55 and 125 However, since the player's vision can be stimulated, the gaming machine 1 can be happily played not only when it is turned on but also when it is turned off. Incidentally, in the case of the embodiment, the light emitting portions 55 and 125 have an outer shape reminiscent of a syringe.

4).
In the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the effect lamp 57 as the light emitting unit is
A lamp substrate 56 as a support portion with a production lamp 57 attached to the front surface side;
A light diffusing portion 58 having translucency that covers the back side from the front side of the lamp substrate 56 and diffuses the light emitted from the effect lamp 57 from the front side to the back side of the lamp substrate 56;
It is configured with.

  In such a configuration, even if the direction of the effect lamp 57 of the light emitting units 55 and 125 is directed to the front side, the light diffusing unit 58 can ensure the state of light emission from the back side, and the operation units 51 and Light can be emitted from the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d instead of one side surface of the 121, and the effect can be enhanced.

  Incidentally, in the case of the embodiment, when the effect lamp 57 is turned on, the light that has passed through the thick part 60b of the window 60e and the lens part 59a of the lens plate 59 in the front-side diffusion part 60 of the light diffusion part 58 The direct light SL is strongly radiated to the effect button 191 side on the direction side facing. At the same time, the light reflected by the partition wall 59b of the lens plate 59 and the plated coating film portion 60g of the front diffusion portion 60 causes the flange portion 60h of the front diffusion portion 60 to emit light as indirect light CL. Since the light reflected at 60 h causes the back-side diffusing unit 61 to emit light as indirect light CL, light can be emitted from the entire periphery of the outer peripheral surfaces 51 d and 121 d instead of one side surface of the operation units 51 and 121.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, light can be emitted by the cylindrical portion 59c of the light diffusing portion 58 on the front end surfaces 51c and 121c side of the operation portions 51 and 121, and the effect can be further enhanced. Incidentally, in the case of the embodiment, the light reflected by the partition wall 59b and the plated coating film portion 60g in the lens plate 59 of the light diffusion portion 58 is transmitted through the transparent cylindrical portion 59c of the lens plate 59 even if it is indirect light CL. Furthermore, since the lens 62 is lit brightly and light is emitted not only from the outer peripheral surfaces 51d and 121d of the operation units 51 and 121 but also from the front end surfaces 51c and 121c, the effect of lighting is enhanced. Can do.

  In particular, in the embodiment, when the light emitting units 55 and 125 are turned on, the light emitted from the front side diffusion unit 60 and the back side diffusion unit 61 of the light emitting units 55 and 125 and the light emitted from the lens 62 are transmitted through the transparent cover bodies 52 and 122. Since the light emission of the light emitting units 55 and 125 is not only a lighting effect of the light emitting units 55 and 125 but also a decorative external shape, the player's vision is further enhanced. I can stimulate and play happily.
