Thus, the hitting force of the game ball is adjusted by changing the number of turns of the winding spring 52h to increase / decrease the restoring force of the wiring 52g.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of the handle 54 of the gaming machine A1. FIG. 6 is a view showing the configuration of the handle 54 of the gaming machine A1, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line X1 (see FIG. 4).
In the figure, the handle 54 is formed by appropriately combining a plurality of functional parts made of synthetic resin. That is, the handle 54 includes a generally cylindrical portion 54a, and the intensity adjusting unit 54b, and Kyomeiko 54c, a grip portion 54d, and the Kyomeiko fixing member 54e, and is hitting stopping device 54f Toka et formation.

The cylindrical portion 54a is a member for connecting the handle 54 to the mounting portion 17 (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 6, the cylindrical portion 54 a has a substantially cylindrical shape with different diameters at both ends, and the end portion with the smaller diameter has a shape that can be connected to the attachment portion 17. That is, the handle 54 is fixed by connecting the end portion of the cylindrical portion 54 a with the smaller diameter to the mounting portion 17 and tightening with the fixture F. Further, the end portion with the larger diameter is a surface connected to the strength adjusting portion 54b and a hole portion 54a3 is formed, and the resonator fixing member 54e is fixed by the fixing tool F. Further, the cylindrical portion 54a is provided with an insertion port 54a2 for inserting the resonator 54c along the central axis.

As shown in FIG. 5, the strength adjusting unit 54 b has a substantially ring shape. A fastening portion 54b1 for fastening the resonator 54c is provided near the center. Thereby, the intensity adjusting part 54b and the resonator 54c are integrally formed. Therefore, when the resonator 54c vibrates, the vibration is directly transmitted to the intensity adjusting unit 54b.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the strength adjusting portion 54b is inserted into the insertion port 54a2 of the cylindrical portion 54a and inserted into the mounting portion 17 so as to be rotatable with respect to the cylindrical portion 54a. Is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the gripping portion 54d is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape having a hollow shape inside. The gripping portion 54d is a portion that hits the palm of the hand when the player grips the handle 54. Further, in this gripping part 54d, first support members 54d1 (supporting means) for fixing the resonator fixing member 54e are provided at a plurality of locations on substantially the same circumference near the outer periphery of the gripping part 54d. It has been.

  The resonator fixing member 54e has a substantially disk shape as shown in FIG. The resonator fixing member 54e is provided to connect the gripping portion 54d to the cylindrical portion 54a. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the resonator fixing member 54e is gripped on the surface directed toward the gripping portion 54d when the resonator fixing member 54e is disposed in the gripping portion 54d. A plurality of holes 54e1 for inserting a predetermined fixing tool F for fixing to the holding portion 54d are provided on substantially the same circumference so as to penetrate the resonator fixing member 54e.

  A second support member 54e2 for fixing the resonator fixing member 54e to the cylindrical portion 54a is disposed on the substantially same circumference on the side opposite to the side facing the gripping portion 54d of the resonator fixing member 54e. A plurality are provided. The second support member 54e2 is provided so as to slightly protrude from the resonator fixing member 54e toward the cylindrical portion 54a.

  Accordingly, a plurality of hole portions 54a3 through which the fixture F is inserted are provided in the step portion near the middle side in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical portion 54a in accordance with the second support member 54e2. That is, the fixture F is inserted through the hole 54a3 and screwed into the second support member 54e2, thereby fixing the cylindrical portion 54a and the resonator fixing member 54e integrally. Therefore, when the resonator 54c vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the gripping portion 54d and the cylindrical portion 54a. The resonator 54c is fixed only to the resonator fixing member 54e and is not in contact with other members such as the hole 52e (see FIG. 6).

  The second support member 54e2 described above may be formed of a member having a predetermined elasticity such as a rubber material. Specifically, the second support member 54e2 formed of a rubber material or the like is disposed separately from the resonator fixing member 54e. Therefore, when the resonator 54c vibrates, it is less likely to be attenuated compared to the case where the resonator 54c is fixed integrally with the cylindrical portion 54a, and the vibration can be efficiently transmitted to the gripping portion 54d and the like. It becomes possible.

Next, the resonator 54c and the pipe line 18c will be described.
The resonator 54c is a metal hollow cylindrical rod that resonates at a specific frequency (for example, 50 Hz) in a sound range (for example, a sound range of 125 Hz or less) covered by the woofer speaker 18 for outputting the heavy bass range. That is, the resonator 54c has a specific frequency (for example, 50 Hz) as a natural frequency, and strongly resonates (resonates) with sound of this frequency. The resonator 54c is for efficiently converting the sound of a specific frequency output from the woofer speaker 18 into vibration, and does not vibrate greatly depending on sound other than the natural frequency. Note without providing the Kyomeiko 54c, obtains the natural frequency of the steering wheel 54 itself (or the like grip portion 54d), which can be vibrated directly by outputting the sound of the same frequency as this from woofer speaker 18 Is also possible. However, the natural frequency often varies from one solid to another even in the same part, and in gaming machines composed of a large number of parts, a plurality of parts often have the same or approximate natural frequency. For this reason, it is difficult to vibrate only a predetermined part such as a handle, and it is often impossible to efficiently convert sound output from the woofer speaker 18 into vibration. Although it is possible to vibrate the handle by providing a speaker or vibrating body on the handle itself, if the speaker uses a magnet, a magnetic field is generated around it, causing malfunction in the launch control. In addition, there is a problem that the apparatus becomes complicated.
In the present invention, by using the resonator 54c having a selected specific natural frequency, only a predetermined part can be selectively and efficiently vibrated at a desired frequency. Therefore for example, that for resonating Kyomeiko 54c without recognizing the natural frequency of the Kyomeiko 54c frequency and to lever the human inaudible range (approximately 20Hz or less), to the player the sound from the woofer speaker 18 Can do.

The pipe 18c has a diameter of about 4 cm at one end and is open to the back side of the enclosure 18b, and the other end is opened so as to cover the resonator 54c. However, the other end side of the pipe line 18c is an open free end. This pipe line 18c extends with the same thickness, and is formed to be as short as possible while avoiding other parts inside the gaming machine. The resonator 54c can be resonantly oscillated by sound of a specific frequency output from the heavy bass output woofer speaker without forming the pipe line 18c and without providing an enclosure. In this case, it is difficult to efficiently resonate the resonator 54c. Therefore predetermined portion desired to be resonance forms a conduit 18c except when in the most recent woofer speaker, it is preferable rather guiding to a predetermined site to be allowed resonating sound of a specific frequency that is output from the woofer speaker . However, the pipe line 18c and the enclosure 18b are not required when the entire gaming machine is desired to resonate and vibrate.

In addition to vibrating the handle 54 attached with the resonator 54c having a specific natural frequency by outputting sound having the same frequency as the natural frequency from the woofer speaker 18, for example, the upper plate forming table 14a the inside is provided a resonant element may be vibrated to upper tray forming block 14a by vibrating this by outputting the sound of the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonance element from the woofer speaker 18. Here a plate-shaped member in the resonance element from relationships of the space, (not approximate) Kyomeiko 54c different from that attached to the handle 54 as the natural frequency and to lever, sound output from the woofer speaker 18 The vibration of the handle 54 and the upper plate forming table 14a can be made independent by the frequency. Note for the upper tray forming base 14a in the immediate vicinity of the woofer speaker 18, but is less set Keru need a conduit as described above, of course upper tray forming block 14a set Keru particular particular problem conduits to resonance element in the Absent. Also without providing the upper tray forming board 14a inside the resonance element, by outputting the sound of the same frequency as the natural frequency of the upper tray forming block 14a from the woofer speaker 18, vibrating the direct Precision forming base 14a Of course it is possible.

Next, an example of condition setting for actually vibrating the strength adjusting unit 54b and the gripping unit 54d (or the upper plate forming table 14a) will be described.
First, at the time of normal game production, sound is mainly output from the speaker 35 for middle and high range output, and the sound is output from the woofer speaker 18 for heavy low range output at low output to supplement the low range. ing.
If there is a big win when the symbols are all together, or if there are two stop symbols and the remaining symbol is changing, that is, a state where the reach has occurred, and develops into a super reach, a notice of success / failure determination for the right / fail determination right If the result is a big hit in the future (or a big hit with a high probability), for example, an explosion sound or a so-called “cue” sound is output together with a woofer speaker for heavy bass output. 18 also outputs a sound having the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c, thereby vibrating the resonator 54c, thereby indirectly vibrating the strength adjusting portion 54b, the gripping portion 54d, and the like. As described above, according to the present invention, with a configuration that can be realized simply and inexpensively without providing a new vibration generator, it is not possible to produce an effect with a large volume under volume regulation, but only produce with a volume below the regulation value. Even if it is not possible, it is possible to increase the stimulation of the game by causing the player to experience the vibration and to make a powerful game effect.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the present invention of the gaming machine A1.
As shown in FIG. 7, the gaming machine A1 is based on the main control board 22b that performs the main control of the game in relation to the progress of the game, that is, the game, and the command transmitted based on the lottery result performed on the main control board 22b. The symbol control board 22m that controls the symbols and the like displayed on the image display unit 22k1, the symbol information board 22n that generates a voice control signal corresponding to the symbols and the like displayed by the symbol control board 22m, and the like are transmitted from the symbol information board 22n. A sound control board 22i that controls sound output from the speaker based on the sound control signal, a speaker 35 for medium / high range output that outputs a production sound based on the output signal from the sound control board 22i, and a heavy low range output The woofer speaker 18 is provided.

When the game is started, a control signal is sent from the main control board 22b to the symbol control board 22m. The symbol control board 22m that has received this control signal sends the voice control signal to the voice control board 22i via the symbol information board 22n. The sound control board 22i outputs sound signals to the middle / high sound range output speaker 35 and the heavy low sound region output woofer speaker 18 in accordance with the sound control signal. That is, as described above, during normal game effects, audio is mainly output from the mid-high range output speaker 35, and the low-frequency output from the woofer speaker 18 for heavy low range output is supplementarily reduced to compensate for the low range. When sound is output at the same time, but when more provocative effects are required, such as during a big hit, super reach, or one notification, a speaker 35 for middle / high range output and a woofer speaker for deep low range output it outputs an effect sound at the output of the following regulatory volume from 18, that you also output sounds of the same frequency from the woofer speaker 18 and the natural frequency of the Kyomeiko 54c, effectively vibrate the Kyomeiko 54c, indirect In particular, the strength adjusting unit 54b and the gripping unit 54d are vibrated.

  The sound control board 22i is set to vibrate the resonator 56 only when the game effect is in a predetermined game situation. That is, to the woofer speaker 18, an audio signal including the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54 c is output from the audio control board 22 i in conjunction with the generation of a predetermined game situation flag transmitted from the main control board 22 b. It has come to be. Therefore, a specific example of a game effect in the case of outputting an audio signal to the middle / high range output speaker and the heavy / low range output woofer speaker 18 will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of control related to the game effect of the gaming machine A1 (at the time of a big hit).
As shown in FIG. 8, first, when the game is started and the game ball wins the special symbol start port 12a1 (step S10: YES), the symbol lottery is started (step S11). Here, when the jackpot is lottery (step S12: YES), the jackpot effect pattern is lottery. Therefore, when a reach effect is drawn (step S13: YES), a reach pattern is selected (step S14). When the reach pattern selected by the lottery is a super reach effect (an effect that informs the player that the so-called reach is in a state where it is easy to win a big hit) (step S15: YES), the woofer speaker is connected to the audio control board 22i. In addition to the normal performance sound, an audio signal including the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c is output (step S16).

  Then, after the super reach effect, when the changing symbol stops at the jackpot symbol (step S17), the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c is added to the woofer speaker 18 from the voice control board 22i again in addition to the normal effect sound. An audio signal including the frequency is output (step S16). In addition, when the above reach effect is not drawn (step S13: NO) or when the super reach effect is not drawn (step S15: NO), the directly changing symbol stops at the jackpot symbol. Similarly, an audio signal including the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c is output from the audio control board 22i to the woofer speaker 18 in addition to the normal effect sound (step S18).

Further, in the symbol lottery above (step S11), and if you draw the out: (step S12 NO), the do lottery whether the reach demonstration, when extracted election the reach demonstration (step S19: YES) The reach pattern is selected (step S20). If the selected reach pattern is super reach (step S21: YES), the sound control board 22i includes the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c in addition to the normal effect sound from the woofer speaker 18. An audio signal is output (step S22), and then the changing symbol is removed and stopped at the symbol (step S23). Although not shown in the flowchart, a normal performance sound is output from the sound control board to the mid-low sound output speaker and the heavy bass output woofer speaker 18 in parallel with these processes as the game progresses. An audio signal for outputting (a production sound that does not include the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c) is output.

  In addition, in the above-described lottery of reach production (step S19), when the reach production is not lottery (step S19: NO), even after the symbol is changing, after stopping at the off symbol (step S23) Even in this case, an audio signal including the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c is not output to the woofer speaker 18 in addition to the normal effect sound. In the control flowchart described above, an audio signal including the same frequency as the natural frequency of the resonator 54c is output to the woofer speaker 18 in a plurality of scenes. Changes, the vibration pattern of the resonator 54c also changes.
