  In the present embodiment, the speakers 48 are internally installed in the casing 407 one by one in a state where the output surface 49 a of each of the output parts 49 faces the front side of the casing 407. The shape, specifications and the like of the speaker 48 are not particularly limited and can be changed in design within the scope of the present invention.

The light emitting effect mechanism 408 is attached to the front surface side of the casing 407 so as to cover the upper side of the LED substrate and the LED substrate provided on the front surface side of the casing 407 although not shown, for example. A decoration member 409 such as a lens member for giving a light emission effect is configured, and is controlled by a sub control board. Although the form of the decorative member 409 and the like is not particularly illustrated in the drawings, it is possible to produce predetermined line emission according to the effect of the game machine, etc., and any design may be made within the scope of the present invention. It can be changed.
In this embodiment, a predetermined decorative member (not shown) is also provided on the entire front surface of the casing 407, that is, around the output surface 49a of the left and right output parts (speakers) 49 facing the front By arranging the lens member etc. 410, the entire area of the front surface of the casing 407 is made to emit light.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the upper end light emitting effect mechanism 411 for achieving effects by light is integrally provided at the upper end of the casing 407. The upper end light emitting effect mechanism 411 is provided, for example, on a decorative member 412 including a predetermined lens member or the like provided on the front surface, and on the back side of the decorative member 412 although not shown. The sub-control board controls the sub-control board.

  An example of the vertical movement mechanism of the speaker unit 406 will be described based on the present embodiment. For example, on the left and right inner side surfaces in the housing area of the front frame 3, the front end edge 3b of the upper end opening 3a is arranged in the housing area. The left and right receiving portions 413 in the downward sloping shape are integrally provided in the rear direction L2 toward the rear end 3c, and rail portions 414 having a predetermined length are integrally fixed at predetermined positions of the left and right receiving portions 413, respectively. (Figure 6).

  A drive source (rotary motor) 415 is internally provided in the casing 407 of the speaker unit 406, and a rotary shaft 416 integrally projecting from the drive source 415 protrudes from one side surface 407a of the casing 407. The gear portion 417 which meshes with the rail portion 414 which is located on the side where the rotation shaft 416 protrudes is integrally provided at the tip end of the gear, and the other side surface 407 b is meshed with the other rail portion 414 which opposes A gear portion 417 is rotatably provided in a protruding manner.

  In the present embodiment, the left and right gear portions 417 are provided in the lower regions of the left and right side surfaces 407 a and 407 b of the casing 407. The gear portion 417 disposed on the opposite side of the rotationally driven gear portion 417 is engaged with the other rail portion 414 to provide the casing 407 along with the rotationally driven gear portion 417. It has a role to support it from both sides and make it move smoothly.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the rotation operation of the gear portion 417 in which the speaker unit 406 at the first position 404 housed in the housing area and hidden behind the upper decorative unit 400 meshes with the rail portion 414. As a result, it moves from the rear of the upper decorative unit 400 toward the upper front of the gaming machine main body A (the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the figure) and is displaced to the second position 405.
Then, when the predetermined game time (rendering time) is finished, the gear unit 417 is reversely operated to rotate the gear unit 417 downward while meshing with the rail unit 414 so that the speaker unit 406 is in the back direction (see FIG. It is accommodated in the accommodation area in the direction indicated by the arrow L15) and disposed at the first position 404.
Therefore, when the speaker unit 406 is moved forward and upward (in the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the figure) to the second position 405, the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 is the speaker unit 406. As compared with the case where the speaker cover 401 is positioned at the first position 404, the area facing the speaker cover 401 is smaller when the position is the second position 405.
Although the wiring of the speaker 48 and the wiring of the light emitting effect mechanism 408 are not shown in the drawings, the speaker unit 406 is directed obliquely upward of the front of the gaming machine body A (in the direction indicated by the arrow L14 in the drawing). It has a length with a margin to prevent tension and breakage when it moves upward (displacement).

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 418 denotes a position detection sensor, which restricts the vertical movement (displacement) of the speaker unit 406 to prevent the speaker unit 406 from being damaged.
As the position detection sensor 418, for example, various proximity sensors that detect the detection target portion 418b can be adopted, but an optimum position detection sensor can be appropriately selected and used within the scope of the present invention.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a sensor portion 418a is provided at a predetermined position (upper and lower portions in the present embodiment) of the inner side surface of the housing area of the front frame 3, In the present embodiment, the detection target portion 418b provided in the upper and lower portions is configured to sense.

That is, if both detection target portions 418b are detected by both sensor portions 418a, it is determined that the speaker unit 406 is located at the first position 404. When only the lower detection target portion 418b is detected by the upper sensor portion 418a, it is determined that the speaker unit 406 is located at the second position.

  Therefore, in the speaker unit 406, when the drive source 415 receives the rotational operation command from the sub control board, the gear unit 417 is rotationally operated in a predetermined direction (in FIG. 6, it is rotationally operated counterclockwise). The gear portion 417 is meshed with the rail portion 414 and rotationally operated, so that the gear portion 417 appears from the upper end opening 3a toward the upper front of the gaming machine main body A (direction shown by the arrow L14 in the figure) By projecting, it displaces from the 1st position 404 to the 2nd position 405 (Drawing 6).

Further, since the speaker unit 406 is detachable from the gaming machine main body A and can be exchanged with another speaker unit as needed, it is possible to adopt, for example, the speaker unit 406 as shown in FIG.

The state at position 405 is shown.
In the present embodiment, only the light emitting effect mechanism 408 provided between the left and right speakers 48 has a specific configuration as shown in the drawings, and the other configurations are shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. Since the configuration is the same as that of the embodiment, the description is used and the detailed description is omitted.

The speaker unit 406 is within the scope of the present invention as long as it includes one or a plurality of output units 49 (speakers 48) for producing effects by voice, and the number, shape, and the like of the arrangement are arbitrary. In addition, when the speaker unit 406 is displaced to the second position 405, the light emission effect mechanism 408 performs decoration effect by light emission.
Further, the arrangement positions of the drive source 415 and the rail portion 414 described above can be arbitrarily changed in design as appropriate. Furthermore, the speaker unit 406 may be unitized only by the output unit 49 (speaker 48) and the light emission effect mechanism 408, and may not have the casing 407, as long as it can be configured to be vertically movable up and down. Design changes can be made arbitrarily within the scope of the present invention.

Also, although not shown, the speaker unit 406 can be configured to be movable when it is displaced to the second position 405 by providing an optional movable effect, thereby enhancing the interest of the game. The movable effect object is, for example, a movable object (for example, a movable object having a blade shape similar to that of the first movable effect character 1143) constituting the sixth embodiment to be described later, or a movable character constituting the seventh embodiment Of course, it is also possible to adopt a character (for example, a semi-cylindrical movable character similar to the sixth movable effect character 1741).
The movable effect part may be provided in place of the light emitting effect mechanism 408, but may be provided in parallel with the light emitting effect mechanism 408, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention.

<Effect by speaker>
FIG. 23 to FIG. 29 show an outline of an effect form by the speaker 48 in the present embodiment.

  First, in the normal gaming state, the movable member 203 is positioned to face the back surface portion 50a of the arrangement area 50 in a folded state (normal state 205 (also referred to as initial state)) centered on the pivot portion 235. (FIG. 22 and FIG. 25). In the normal state 205, as described above, since the movable member 203 is positioned to face the back surface portion 50a of the arrangement region 50 in a state of being folded about the pivot portion 235, the front frame 3 is configured It is easy for the player to recognize as a part of the appearance form, and it is difficult to recognize as the speaker 48. The sound emitted in the normal state 205 is emitted from the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 contained in the movable body 215 in this state, but the output surface 49a of the output unit 49 is difficult to recognize by the player. is there.

  Then, for example, when the game state is shifted to a game state (such as a big hit game state) which is advantageous to the player, the movable member 203 rotates the first drive source 248 in order to notify the player in advance. By the operation, the normal state 205 is displaced to the first state 207. That is, by the operation signal sent to the first drive source 248, the rotational operation from the first drive source 248 is transmitted to the shaft support portion 235 via the gear portion 249, and the shaft support portion 235 rotates upward. Then, the movable member 203 is erected in the horizontal direction so that the output unit (speaker) 49 faces in the direction L1 to face the player (FIGS. 23 and 26). That is, at this time, it is possible to cause the player to imagine a state as if the movable member 203 raised the barrel and pointed the tip of the gun in the direction of the player. In addition, the output surface 49a of the output unit 49 can be easily viewed by the player.

Next, after the movable member 203 is displaced to the first state 207, the movable member 203 is displaced to the second state 209 in which the speaker 48 moves back and forth in the cylinder axial direction L10. That is, according to the operation signal sent to the third drive source 261 of the third drive mechanism 260, the rotational operation from the third drive source 261 is transmitted to the gear portion 263, and is held in mesh with the gear portion 263. By moving the rail portion 264 in the back and forth direction in the cylinder axial direction L10, the speaker 48 moves back and forth in the cylinder axial direction L10.
As described above, when the speaker 48 outputs voice while moving forward and backward in the axial direction L10, the voice can be heard while moving in the forward and backward direction L8, and a sense of depth of voice (sense of expansion of voice) Therefore, the player is surprised by the output of such voice and the interest is improved.

In the present embodiment, at the same time as the displacement operation in the second state 209, the first cylinder constituting body 221, the second cylinder constituting body 227, the third cylinder constituting body 229, and the fourth cylinder construction constituting the movable body 215 Each of the bodies 231 is configured to expand outward and be displaced to the third state 211 (FIGS. 24 and 27).
That is, as the speaker 48 moves back and forth, and the operation signal sent to the second drive source 254 of each of the pair of second drive mechanisms 253, the rotation operation from each second drive source 254 is each gear By moving the pair of rail portions 257 and 258, which are transmitted to the portion 255 and held in mesh with the respective gear portions 255, in a direction away from each other, the first cylindrical component 221 and the second cylindrical configuration The body 227, the third cylindrical component 229, and the fourth cylindrical component 231 expand outward, respectively, and between the first cylindrical component 221 and the second cylindrical component 227, A wide air gap 234 is formed between the three cylinder constructions 229 and the fourth cylinder construction 231, respectively.
Thus, not only is the player surprised by such a form change by simultaneously performing the displacement operation of the second state 209 and the third state 211, the sound from the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 spreads as well. The sound is also output to the side of the movable member 203 from the air gap 233, and the spread of the sound is further increased.
By performing the displacement operation of the second state 209 and the third state 211 simultaneously, it is possible to make the outer member appear to be movable by the reaction of shooting the gun, so as if using a real gun It is possible to realize the effect like the sky. In addition, the changing operations of the second state 209 and the third state 211 may be performed not simultaneously but at different timings.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first cylindrical component 221, the second cylindrical component 227, the third cylindrical component 229, and the fourth cylindrical component 231 are displaced to the third state 211, respectively. The entire movable member 203 swings in the first direction (up and down direction L9) in a state of being expanded toward one side.
That is, after being displaced to the third state 211, the rotational movement from the first drive source 248 in the left-right direction is supported by the shaft support piece 241 via the gear portion 250 by the operation signal sent to the first drive source 248. , And the pivoting piece 241 is vertically oscillated (fourth state 213).

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an effect (the effect of the fourth state 213) in which the movable member 203 swings in the up and down direction L9 while emitting sound, and effects can be performed as if a gun is being jerked. The player is more entertained by making a dramatic presentation.
In addition, as the movable member 203 is displaced, the sound emitted from the output unit (speaker) 49 can also be heard from different directions, and the way of hearing the sound is different, which greatly enhances the player's interest It will be done.
In the present embodiment, after the displacement to the third state 211, the displacement to the fourth state 213 is employed, but the output unit 49 of the speaker 48 maintains the easily visible position, that is, the first state. It is also possible to adopt a mode of displacing to the second state 209 after displacing to the state 207 and the second state 209, which is within the scope of the present invention.

Further, in the present embodiment, the trigger portion 282 interlocked with the movable member 203 is provided on the front side of the gaming machine main body A. The trigger unit 282 has a push button at a predetermined position, and is configured to be rockable back and forth and from the initial position in the upright state shown in FIG. 22. For example, the following operation is assumed.
For example, after the movable member 203 is displaced to the first state 207 or the second state 209, when the trigger portion 282 is tilted in either the left or right direction, each cylinder constituting member of the movable body 215 is interlocked with the operation. (The first cylinder component 221, the second cylinder component 227, the third cylinder component 229, and the fourth cylinder component 231) are expanded to be displaced to the third state 211 .
Further, after being displaced to the third state, when the trigger portion 282 is rocked in the vertical direction, the movable member 203 is rocked in the vertical direction interlocking with the operation and displaced to the fourth state 213. In this state, if the player depresses the push button provided on the trigger unit 282, the movable body 215 can open the gun while being expanded, and the gun can be shot while vertically rocking the gun. As a result, the player feels as if they are firing a gun according to the game situation.
Also, assuming that the movable member 203 is configured to be able to swing in the left-right direction (horizontal direction), the movable member 203 is allowed to swing in the left-right direction in conjunction with the swing operation of the trigger portion 282 in the left-right direction. It is also possible to configure.
In addition, although the displacement operation of the movable member 203 to the first state 207 is performed based on, for example, a signal from the sub control board or the like, the trigger portion 282 is forward (a player is (The pull-up operation), the movable member 203 rises from the normal state 205 and is displaced to the first state 207, and when the push button is pressed, a gunshot or the like is output from the output unit 49 of the speaker 48. It is also possible to set to gain.
The configuration, installation position, and the like of the trigger portion 282 are not particularly limited and interpreted, and design changes can be made as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.
Therefore, the player operates the trigger unit 282 to move the movable member 203 imitating the barrel by his own intention from the first state 207 to the second state 209, the third state 211, or the fourth state 213. It is also possible to make the player move displacing, and it is possible to give the player a feeling as if he / she directly participated in the game, and it is possible to greatly improve the interest.

Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a vibration function so that the trigger portion 282 vibrates in conjunction with the operation of the movable member 203 displaced in response to the operation of the trigger portion 282.
That is, when displaced to or in the second state 209, the third state 211, or the fourth state 213, the trigger portion 282 is operated by the vibration function that operates in conjunction with the operation of the movable member 203. If it is configured to vibrate, it is possible to give the player a sense of realism as when shooting a gun, and a sense of unity with a game, and this is within the scope of the present invention.
Further, the trigger unit 282 includes a sensor capable of detecting an operation when the operation is performed in the predetermined direction from the initial position, whereby the operation in the predetermined direction can be detected, and based on the detection of the operation, It is preferable to perform displacement operations of various members.

In the present embodiment, the movable member 203 has been described as an example in which the movable state 203 is displaced from the normal state 205 to the first state 207, the second state 209 to the third state 211, and the third state 211 to the fourth state 213. The output unit (speaker) 49 may be configured to output voice without performing forward / backward / backward movement, and the design can be arbitrarily changed.
It is also possible to adopt a form in which the output unit (speaker) 49 outputs sound while moving back and forth after moving from the first state 207 to the third state 211, which is within the scope of the present invention.
In addition, although an example in which the third state 211 is displaced to the fourth state 213 has been described, the first state 207 can be displaced to the fourth state 213, and in this state, the output unit (speaker) 49 May move back and forth.

<Effect by speaker>
The effect form by the speaker 48 in this embodiment is demonstrated.

First, in the normal state 300 shown in FIG. 31, FIG. 32, FIG. 35 and FIG. 36 (in the normal gaming state), the speaker 48 is in the state where the cover member 302 is closed (first position 332). The 49 output faces 49a face in the forward direction (the direction facing the player) (third position 336).
The sound from the output unit (speaker 48) 49 is transmitted from the window portion (transmission hole portion) 311 provided on the front surface 310a of the output portion accommodation member 310 through the sound transmission portion (slit portion) 317 of the cover member 302. Output toward the player direction L1.

  Then, when transitioning from the normal gaming state to some gaming state, for example, before transitioning to a gaming state (such as a jackpot gaming state) advantageous to the player, notification of transition to the gaming state is made in advance (notice As one of the means for), the effect by the speaker 48 may be performed.

For example, when transitioning to a game state advantageous to the player, the speaker 48 first transmits a rotation operation command to the first drive source 313 and the second drive source 318 from the normal state 300, The output portion (speaker 48) 49 is rotated upward by 90 degrees by one driving source 313, and the output surface 49a is made to face the window portion (transmission hole portion) 312 provided on the upper surface 310a of the output portion accommodation member 310. At the same time (at the fourth state 338), the cover member 302 is operated to open upward (at the second state 334) by the second drive source 318, and the cover member 302 is moved upward in the vertical direction L11. It projects like a bowl in the upper region facing the above-mentioned output surface 49a side (first state 301).
At this time, the sound from the output unit 49 is output from the window (transmission hole) 312 provided on the upper surface 310 b of the output member storage member 310 toward the inner surface of the cover member 302. The sound that hits the inner surface is reflected and output by the inner surface in the overhead direction of the player (player direction L1).

  A sound relating to a predetermined game from the output surface 49a of the output unit (speaker 48) 49 in the first state 301 (for example, a sound different from a sound emitted at the time of transition to an advantageous gaming state, etc. Changes from the normal state 300 to the first state 301 (the change of the cover member 302 from the first position 332 to the second position 334, the third state 336 to the fourth state of the speaker 48). The player is surprised that the voice is emitted from the position at which the sound is emitted in the normal state 300 and the upper position in the vertical direction (vertical direction L11), that is, the player's overhead position. I am surprised at the output of the sound emitted from the position where I was caught, and the interest is improved.

Then, in the present embodiment, when the game state or the like advantageous to the player is shifted, the upper opening operation is transmitted to the cover member 302 via the second drive source 318, thereby the normal state 300 to the first state. Since it is configured to be displaceable to the 1 state 301, the interest of the game is further improved by the intentional effect of changing the form.
It is also possible to configure only the cover member 302 so as to be alternately displaced to the first state 301 and the normal state 300 without interlocking with the speaker 48. That is, the cover member 302 can provide a movable effect with an intention of repeatedly performing the opening and closing operation within the scope of the present invention.

Further, in the present embodiment, after being in the first state 301, the cover member 302 is configured to be rotatable in the left-right direction L12 about the axis in the vertical direction L11 by the rotation operation from the third drive source 321. Since the position where the sound is emitted is displaced in the left-right direction L12 as well as the displacement operation to make the cover member 302 move further, the interest can be improved. Whether the rotational operation of the cover member 302 in the left-right direction L12 is movable or displaced only in the left or right direction, or whether the displacement state is intermittently changed in the left-right direction L12 every predetermined time, the left-right direction L12 continuously. It is possible to select any pattern whether to repeatedly change the displacement state, and is selectable within the scope of the present invention.
The number of speakers 48 may be one or three or more, and design changes can be made within the scope of the present invention. The position where the speaker 48 is installed is also not limited and is optional.
The speaker 48 may be configured such that the cover member 302 can be opened in the left-right direction. In addition, when the cover member 302 is open | released in such a form, the cover member 302 will rotate from the 3rd drive source 321 to an up-down direction.
Furthermore, even if the cover member 302 can be opened and closed in directions other than the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, it is within the scope of the present invention. For example, the cover member 302 may be configured to be able to rotate 360 degrees on the upper surface 310b of the output portion accommodation member 310, and sound may be reflected in the direction opposite to the direction facing the player. Within the scope of the present invention.
In the case of a configuration in which a plurality of speakers 48 are installed, it is possible to move only one or two or more of the speakers 48 and prevent the other from moving, which is within the scope of the present invention.

The first holder 1040 also has a function of holding a light entrance portion (light entrance lens portion) 1047 described later and a function of light leakage prevention so that light from the LED 1038 does not leak.
The member indicated by reference numeral 1042 in FIGS. 52 and 53 is a second holder, and the substrate concealment indicated by reference numeral 1046 in FIGS. 55, 57, 59, 61, 64 is attached to the light guide plate 1031. , Is a holder for connecting to the back box.

  Here, an example of a specific light emission effect display will be described.

  First, the point that it is possible to perform predetermined partial light emission display effects by making the LEDs 1038 of any of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, and the upper right substrate 1037c emit light will be described.

In FIG. 55, only a part of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a (the LEDs 1038 in the region indicated by reference numeral L1 in FIG. 53 are referred to as the first light emitting means in this embodiment) It indicates that a predetermined light emission effect is given to the hatched area.
In the present embodiment, an image (specific image) 1143 a having the same shape as the first movable effect part 1143 is a part of the first movable effect part 1143 in the left side area of the light guide plate 1031 indicated by hatching. A reflective portion (in this embodiment, the reflective portion in this area is referred to as a first reflective portion) is formed so as to be able to display at the same position as the arrangement position.

Then, for example, when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the game and the first movable effect combination object 1143 to be described later is moved, the upper left substrate is obtained before the first movable effect combination 1143 starts to move. The LED 1038 of a part of 1037a is made to emit light (flashing / lighting).
The upper left substrate 1037a of this embodiment is provided with an LED 1038 in the L1 area and an LED 1038 in the L2 area, the positions of which are changed in the vertical direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 53, a region indicated by L2 at a position higher in the vertical direction than the LED 1038 provided in the region indicated by L1 (in the present embodiment, the same height position as the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037b) The LED 1038 is provided. In the present embodiment, only the LED 1038 in the range indicated by L1 in FIG. 53 emits light.
Thus, the first movable effect combination 1143 and the first movable effect combination 1143 are provided by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (the left region in the drawing) where the first movable effect combination 1143 is disposed. In the left side area of the light guide plate 1031, a blade image (specific image) 1143a of the same shape is displayed in a light emission (flashing / lighting) manner so as to overlap on the first movable effect combination 1143 (FIG. 56) reference).
As described above, after the light emission effect display of the image 1143a having the same shape as the first movable effect combination 1143 is performed at the same position, the first movable effect combination 1143 appears, whereby the first movable effect is displayed. An expectation of suggesting the possibility that the character 1143 may move to a predetermined position (a so-called upset feeling as to whether or not to appear or not) is enhanced, and the interest is improved. In particular, the expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at a high speed.

FIG. 57 shows that a predetermined light emission effect is given to the hatched area of the light guide plate 1031 by the light emission of the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037 b and the LED 1038 of the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037 a described above . In this embodiment, the LED 1038 on the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 in the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a are referred to as a second light emitting means.
In the present embodiment, in the central region of the light guide plate 1031 indicated by the hatching, the reflection portion (the main portion of the game machine character so that the face image (image different from the specific image 1143a) can be displayed large. In the embodiment, the reflective portion in this region is formed as a second reflective portion).
Then, for example, when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the game and the game state is shifted to the player's advantage, the LED 1038 of the upper middle board 1037b and the upper left board 1037a described above are shifted before the transition. The LED 1038 in the L2 area is made to emit light (flashing / lighting).
As a result, the face image of a predetermined character is displayed (flashing / lighting) in the central area of the light guide plate 1031 by the reflection section provided in the central area of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 58).
As described above, after the face image of the predetermined character is largely displayed in the central area of the light guide plate 1031 and the light emission effect is displayed, the transition to the predetermined gaming state is made, thereby providing the player with a sense of expectation for the transition It will be more exciting and will improve. Further, even in this case, the expectation can be further enhanced by, in particular, setting to blink at a high speed. In the present embodiment, although the effect display is performed by the light guide plate 1031 as described above, the face image of the character is displayed by the display device 4, and the head wound image of the character is superimposed on the light guide plate 1031. It is well within the scope of the present invention as one that emits light.

In FIGS. 59 and 60, a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the hatched area of the light guide plate 1031 by the light emission of each LED 1038 (in the present embodiment, this will be referred to as the third light emitting means) of the upper right substrate 1037c. Which indicates that.
In the present embodiment, a predetermined decoration image can be displayed on the first light emission effect means 1057 and the second light emission effect means 1105 described later in the hatched right area of the light guide plate 1031. A reflective portion (in this embodiment, the reflective portion in this area is referred to as a third reflective portion) is formed. For example, in the present embodiment, the characters “WARNING” are displayed in a luminous manner, but the decoration image in this case may be a character or a predetermined character image. In addition, it may be configured to emit light with a predetermined color so as to cover the entire area of the first light emission effect means 1057 and the second light emission effect means 1105.

  Further, for example, predetermined light emission display effects can be performed by causing all or one of the LEDs 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037 d, the left middle substrate 1037 e, and the left lower substrate 1037 f to emit light.

61 to 63 show a light guide plate by causing all the LEDs 1038 of the left upper substrate 1037 d, the left middle substrate 1037 e, and the left lower substrate 1037 f (this embodiment is referred to as a fourth light emitting means) to emit light. It indicates that a predetermined light emission effect is given to the entire area indicated by the hatching 1031.
In the present embodiment, in the entire area indicated by the hatching of the light guide plate 1031, the reflection portion (in the present embodiment, the image can be displayed from the lower area to the upper area of the game board) The reflective portion in this region is formed as a fourth reflective portion).
Then, for example, a predetermined condition is satisfied in the game, and the second movable effect combination 1213 to be described later moves to the appearance position (also referred to as a second position or another position), and the second movable effect combination storage 1313 When a movable effect as if to stab is made, the LED 1038 under the left lower substrate 1037f emits light (flashes / lights up) to the LED 1038 (Fig. 63 (a)), and then the left middle substrate 1037e The lower LED 1038 emits light (flashing / lighting) to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 63 (b)), and then the LED 1038 below the left upper substrate 1037d emits light (flashing / lighting) (FIG. 63 (c).
As a result, the light emitting (flashing / lighting) effect display of an image such as lightning is performed from the lower area to the upper area by the reflecting portions provided in the entire area of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIGS. 62 and 63). FIGS. 63 (a) to 63 (c) show a state in which a light emission image such as a rice light spreads in order from the lower region to the upper region. This is expressed by lighting the respective LEDs 1038 in the order of the lower left substrate 1037 f, the left middle substrate 1037 e, and the upper left substrate 1037 a.
After the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a emit light (FIG. 63 (c)), the LEDs 1038 under the left lower substrate 1037f go to the LEDs 1038 in order The light was displayed by turning off and then turning off the LEDs 1038 under the left middle substrate 1037 e to the LEDs 1038 in order and then turning off the LEDs 1038 under the upper left substrate 1037 a to the LEDs 1038 in order An effect may be performed such that the images become difficult to visually recognize in order.
The LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037 f, the left middle substrate 1037 e, and the left upper substrate 1037 d can also be made to emit light (flashing / lighting) simultaneously. As described above, by providing the appearance (the movable effect) of the second movable effect character 1213 (the movable effect) and the light emission effect display by the entire area of the light guide plate 1031 together, a surprise effect is provided to the player. It is possible to improve the interest. That is, there is a development to an advantageous development for a game by the effect by the large appearance action in the fixed direction of the second movable effect character 1213 and the light emission display effect from the direction opposite to the appearance direction. It is possible to give the player a sense of heel expectation.
Although a detailed description is omitted in this embodiment, when the game ball enters the start winning hole 1009 and the game ball is detected by a sensor (not shown), a random number value is extracted. . Then, based on the extracted random number value, the symbol is displayed for fluctuation for a predetermined time in the symbol display device (not shown) and then stopped and displayed in a predetermined manner.
In the symbol display mode, symbols are displayed in a stop display when the extracted random number is a predetermined specific random number, and the stop display is performed when the jackpot is not a specific random value There is a loss aspect. When the stop display is performed in the jackpot mode, the big winning opening 1011 is in the open state, and the game ball is shifted to a so-called jackpot game state where it is easy to enter the ball. And, it is possible to execute the effect as described above in the symbol display device during the variable display of the symbol. For example, when the symbol is stopped and displayed in the lost mode, the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 63 (a) is 8/10 selection rate, and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 63 (b) is 2 / Assuming that the selection rate of 10 and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 63 (c) are 0/10 selection rate, and the symbol is stopped and displayed in the big hit mode, the light emission is displayed until the state of FIG. 63 (a) The effect is 1/10 selection rate, the effect of light emission display until the state of FIG. 63 (b) is 4/10 selection rate, the effect of light emission display until the state of FIG. 63 (c) is 5/10 selection rate The expectation level to be stopped and displayed in the jackpot manner may be different for each effect to be executed.

In FIG. 64 and FIG. 65, when the LEDs 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037d (this is referred to as the fifth light emitting means in the present embodiment) are made to emit light, predetermined light emission is Flashing / lighting indicates that an effect is given.
In the present embodiment, a reflection portion (in the present embodiment, the reflection portion of this region) is displayed on the upper region of the light guide plate 1031 indicated by the hatching so that a predetermined decoration image (such as a predetermined character image) can be displayed. Is referred to as a fifth reflection portion). The decoration image in this case may be a character or another character image.
In addition, an image (for example, the head covering an image (see FIG. 66C) in which the character is winding the head, which is overlapped with the image (the first image 1051 of the character) on the cell sheet 1049 shown in FIG. A predetermined reflection portion may be provided at a predetermined position of the light guide plate 1031 in order to emit and display the first image 1051), and this one character image may be simultaneously displayed for emission.
As described above, since only the upper area is displayed as a light emission effect, it is possible to make the player think that it is a special effect, and it is possible to improve the interest.

  The LED 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, the upper right substrate 1037c, the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the lower left substrate 1037f emits light simultaneously, thereby providing a predetermined area over the entire area of the light guide plate 1031. It is also possible to perform a light emission effect display. By making all of the light emitting means emit light, it is possible to perform bright light emission effects while partially overlapping all the light emission display effects. Therefore, it is possible to expect an improvement in interest due to an unprecedented light emission effect.

Furthermore, predetermined light emission display effects are performed by arbitrarily combining the light emission means of the upper left substrate 1037a, upper middle substrate 1037b, upper right substrate 1037c, left upper substrate 1037d, left middle substrate 1037e, and left lower substrate 1037f. It is also possible and within the scope of the present invention.
In addition, by making all the LEDs emit light and the two-layer light emission display and the LED on the left upper substrate 1037a emit light, the torch light image is displayed and the head-covered cell character has torch light It may be possible to display various effects.

In the present embodiment, light entrance sections (light entrance lens sections) 1047 are provided in the vicinity of the respective LEDs 1038, and the light from each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 is guided through the light entrance sections (light entrance lens sections) 1047. It is configured to be able to reliably enter each end face 1031a of the light plate 1031 (see FIGS. 53 and 54).
The shape, location, etc. of the light entrance portion (light entrance lens portion) 1047 have a configuration that can reliably enter each end face 1031 a of the light guide plate 1031 without spreading the light from each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 The design can be changed within the scope of the present invention, and in the present embodiment, it is disposed on each end face 1031a of the light guide plate 1031, and the light emitting means is provided on the upper side or the side 1037 are arranged side by side.

The discharge area 1035 is provided at the lower end of the light guide plate 1031 in a smaller number than the plurality of passage areas (general winning opening 1013), and in this embodiment, it is a single discharge area (discharge port) (see FIG. See 53).
Thus, the area for providing the discharge area (discharge port) formed in the light guide plate 1031 may be one. Further, since the space for securing the discharge area in the light guide plate 1031 may be small, the light emission display area in the light guide plate 1031 can be secured widely, which is very effective.

<Cell sheet configuration>
The cell sheet 1049 is provided on the back side of the light guide plate 1031, and a predetermined image is displayed (see FIG. 66).
For example, in the present embodiment, at least a portion of the image displayed on the light guide plate 1031 at the time of light emission (the second image 1053 provided on the light guide plate) corresponds to the second image 1053 The image (first image 1051) is displayed on the cell sheet 1049.

That is, for example, in the present embodiment, the face of the character (first image 1051) is displayed on the cell sheet 1049, and even when the LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 provided in the light guide plate 1031 is not emitting light. The character's face (first image 1051) is displayed so as to be visible to the player. Then, the light guide plate 1031 forms a reflection unit corresponding to a headband image (second image 1053) that is displayed in a light emission position at a position overlapping the character face (first image 1051) when the LED 1038 emits light. .
Thus, when the LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 provided in the light guide plate 1031 does not emit light, only the face (first image 1051) of the character without the headband (second image 1053) is displayed. At the time of light emission, the face (first image 1051) of the character with headband (second image 1053) is displayed by light, and effect display by different images is performed at the time of light emission and at the time of non-light emission.
As described above, since different images are light-displayed for the player depending on the light emission time and the non-light emission time, interest of the player is improved.

The second gear 1183 that meshes with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177 and rotates in the forward direction simultaneously with the third gear 1185 converts the rotational movement of the drive unit 1159 in the forward direction into the conversion mechanism 1193. The pinion gear 1197, which is transmitted to and engaged with the rack member 1201, operates in a direction in which the exterior member 1153, which is integrally formed with the rack member 1201, is extended. The third gear 1185 has gear teeth when the region 1189 having no gear teeth of the third gear 1185 faces the region 1181 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177. The first movable effect part 1143 (exterior member 1153) is moved in order to move while the area 1189 (protrusion tip surface 1191) is in contact with the area 1181 without the gear teeth of the first gear 1177. Is maintained at the appearance position 1147, and the pivoting motion transmitted from the second gear 1183 is converted into a rectilinear motion by the conversion mechanism 1193 to operate in the direction in which the first movable rendering combination 1143 extends.
Then, after stopping at the appearance position for a predetermined time, the drive means 1159 is reversely rotated to rotate the motor gear 1161, the second gear 1183, the third gear 1185, and the gear group 1195a ... which forms the conversion mechanism 1193, the pinion gear 1197 The operation of reverse rotation is transmitted to the rack member 1201 to operate the first movable effect part 1143 in a direction to shrink, and is rotated to return to the initial position 1145.

Further, in the present embodiment, the locking projection 1203 integrally projecting on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is inserted into the back decoration member 1151 via the curved slide long groove 1205 provided on the back decoration member 1151. And the other end of a predetermined spring member 1207 having one end locked to the back side of the back decoration member is locked to the protruding locking projection 1203 and the exterior member 1153 is always And the front decoration member 1149 is biased to return to the initial position (see FIG. 80).
The first movable effect combination 1143 is operated to rotate between the initial position 1145 and the emergent position 1147 by the drive means 1159 and the transmission mechanism 1163, and the spring member 1207 has the emergent position 1147 to the last. It has a spring force that functions to assist the pivoting movement from the to the initial position 1145.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the photo sensor 1209 is provided on the front side of the back decoration member 1151, and a projection (not shown) provided on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is detected to perform the first movable effect. The initial position 1145 and the appearance position 1147 of the accessory 1143 are configured to be recognizable. For example, when the projecting piece (not shown) is detected by the photo sensor 1209, it is recognized that it is at the initial position 1145, and it is rotated to detect the projecting piece (not shown) from the photo sensor 1209 When it disappears, it recognizes that it is at the appearance position 1147, and sends a signal to the sub control board to reversely rotate the drive means 1159 after a predetermined time has elapsed after recognizing that it is at the appearance position 1147.

Since the blade image 1143a having the same shape as the character 1143 is displayed on the left side of the light guide plate 1031 for light emission (flashing / lighting) (see FIG. 56), the first movable effect combination 1143 reaches a predetermined position It is reported that there is a possibility of moving. As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear).
Note that it is also possible to adopt a mode in which the first movable effect combination object 1143 is moved in the right and left direction little by little at the time of light emission (flashing / lighting) of part of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a.
In the present embodiment, the first movable effect combination object 1143 moves to a predetermined position or does not move to a predetermined position after light emission display of the light guide plate 1031, but always moves to the predetermined position. It is also possible to make sure that it does not move.

Further, in relation to (in interlocking with) the movement of the first movable effect combination object 1143 from the first position (initial position) 1145 to the second position (appearing position) 1147, the predetermined position of the light guide plate 1031 is It is also possible to cause the LED 1038 disposed at the position to emit light, and to emit light and display a predetermined image (also referred to as a third image or one image) on the light guide plate 1031 via the first reflection portion. For example, when the first movable effect part 1143 is moved to the second position (appearing position) 1147, the LED 1038 of a predetermined LED substrate 1037 (for example, the upper middle substrate 1037b) of the light guide plate 1031 emits light A predetermined reflection part (first reflection part) provided in a predetermined area of the light plate 1031 gives a light emission effect (third image or one image) as if light was emitted from the first movable effect member 1143 Is also possible (see FIG. 76). In order to emit light to emit light emitted from the first movable effect member 1143, it is also possible to perform light emission by a combination of the first image provided on the cell sheet 1051 and the second image provided on the light guide plate 1031. .
The light emission display image notified before the first movable effect combination 1143 starts moving and the light emission display image displayed based on the movement are not particularly limited, and design changes can be made within the scope of the present invention .

A depressed portion 1545a is formed at a position coaxially opposed to the LED 1542 and arranged so as to align the opening with the concave inner surface and the LED 1542 (see FIG. 110).
The light introducing portion 1553 is set to correspond to the LED 1542 of the light emitting means when the main body 1551 of the projecting member 1547 is located at the appearance position 1548.

  Therefore, the light from the LED 1542 is irradiated toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 to display the light emission effect of the main body 1551. Further, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface and is also irradiated to the surface portion of the main body 1551. At this time, since a predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a, and the entire main body 1551 is illuminated (see FIG. 110). Further, in the reflector 1545, a recessed portion 1545a is formed at the position facing the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 and the LED 1542 coaxially, with the concave inner surface and the LED 1542 aligned with the opening. The light from the LED 1542 can be irradiated without being diffused toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 by the recessed portion 1545a. In addition, when the projecting member 1547 is accommodated and positioned at the retracted position 1546 (a gap 1577 described later), the light introducing portion 1553 is not at the corresponding position. In addition, although not particularly limited, it may be possible to provide more LEDs and correspond to which position the projecting member 1547 is located.

The guide base 1561 is provided on the front surface of the base plate 1561a so as to be continuous with the first position 1565 provided in the circumferential direction with a predetermined length and continuous with the first position 1565 and smaller in diameter than the first position 1565 An annular guide surface (guide portion) 1563 having a second position 1567 alternately provided in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface is projected forward (see FIGS. 102 and 106 to 108).
For example, in the present embodiment, the annular guide surface 1563 is formed smaller in diameter than the outer periphery of the base board 1561 a, and the second position 1567 is provided concavely at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular guide surface 1563. A guide surface other than 1567 is a first position 1565.
The second position 1567 is circularly recessed in a front view from one end of the first position 1565, and is smoothly connected to the adjacent first position 1565 via a gently curved surface 1569.

Furthermore, a first cylindrical portion 1571 protruding forward of the annular guide surface 1563 and a substantially central region of the first cylindrical portion 1571 are provided in a substantially central region of the front surface of the base plate 1561 a of the guide base 1561. A second cylindrical portion 1573 smaller in diameter than the first cylindrical portion 1571 is provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 is inserted through the through holes provided at the centers of the LED substrate 1543, the substrate cover 1539, and the substrate cover 1539, and then the shaft bush 1540 is attached to the tip. A shaft member 1535a protruding from the rear surface of the rotary base 1535 is inserted into the shaft bush 1540 and protrudes on the rear surface side of the guide base 1561 (see FIG. 106). The protruding end of the shaft member 1535 a is connected to the transmission gear 1575 so that the rotational movement of the drive gear 1579 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535.
Further, an annular gap 1577 is formed between the front surface of the guide base 1561 and the rear surface of the rotary base 1535 with a width of the tip of the first cylindrical portion 1571 (tip surface excluding the second cylindrical portion 1573). (See Figure 106). The gap 1577 functions as a hard-to-recognize retracted position 1546 housed when the projecting member 1547 is positioned at the second position 1567 (see FIGS. 102 and 106).

The rotary shaft base 1559 is integrally formed with the rotary base 1535 by screws, and is formed in an annular shape so as to be slidably mounted on the outer periphery of an annular guide surface 1563 provided on the guide base 1561. The winding portion of the spring 1549 is externally fitted around the mounting portion 1555, and the spring mounting portion 1555 is rotatably attached to the end surface 1559a of the rotation shaft base 1559.
Then, the other end (free end) of the spring 1549 is locked to the spring end locking portion 1558 protruding from the end face on the front side of the protruding member 1547.
Thus, the projecting member 1547 is rotatably attached to the rotary shaft base 1559, and the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the circumferential surface of the annular guide surface 1563 when fitted to the annular guide surface 1563. Arrange for possible.
At this time, the spring force of the spring 1549 biases the main body 1551 in the gap 1577 between the rotary shaft base 1559 and the guide base 1561 (see FIGS. 102 to 104).

Therefore, when the driving means (motor) 1523 is rotated, the rotational movement of the gear (motor gear) 1579 provided in the driving means (motor) 1523 is transmitted to the transmission gear 1575.
Then, the rotational motion transmitted from the transmission gear 1575 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535 via a shaft member 1535 a formed by fixing the transmission gear 1575 at one end. As a result, the rotary shaft base 1559 attached integrally with the rotary base 1535 performs the rotary operation, so the guide surface sliding portion 1557 of the projecting member 1547 provided on the rotary shaft base 1559 is of the annular guide surface 1563. It will slide on the outer periphery in a predetermined direction.
When the guide surface sliding portion 1557 is positioned at the first position 1565 of the annular guide surface 1563 by the rotation operation, the projecting member 1547 is easily visible against the bias of the elastic member (spring) 1549. The main body 1551 is protruded and positioned at the appearance position 1548 (see FIG. 107).
Then, when the guide surface sliding portion 1557 reaches the second position 1567 of the annular guide surface 1563 by moving in the rotational direction (direction indicated by reference R1 in FIG. 107), the force of the elastic member (spring) 1549 The guide surface sliding portion 1557 falls to the second position 1567. By this fall operation, the force of the spring 1549 rotates the projecting member 1547 in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation (retraction direction indicated by symbol R2 in FIG. 107) and is accommodated in the difficult-to-recognize retraction position 1546 (the gap 1577). Do. Then, after that, the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the gentle curved surface 1569 to be positioned at the adjacent first position 1565. Thus, when the protruding member 1547 reaches the first position 1565 via the guide surface sliding portion 1557, the protruding member 1547 protrudes to the easily visible appearance position 1548. This operation is repeated by the rotational operation, and the projecting member 1547 moves alternately with the first position 1565 and the second position 1567.

  With such a configuration, the movable member 1531 moved from the retracted position (initial position) 1546 to the emergent position 1548 rotates in a predetermined direction by the drive means (motor) 1523 at the emergent position 1548, and the LED 1541 The front surface side of the movable member 1531 and the projecting member 1547 are caused to emit light by light entering from the light source 1541 and the light from the light source 1542. Describing in detail, the projecting member 1547 is formed of a transparent member in a predetermined flat blade shape, and is provided with the light introducing portion 1553 at the lower end, and the projecting inner surface side of the projecting member 1547 is at the first position. Since the LED 1542 is disposed to face the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 when it is in the projecting state by being positioned at 1565 (the state of FIGS. 107 and 110), the light from the LED 1542 is The light is directed toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 to cause the main body 1551 to display a light emission effect.

In addition, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface and is also irradiated to the surface portion of the main body 1551, and the predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551 The light is reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a, and the entire body 1551 is illuminated (see FIG. 110).
When the projecting member 1547 is accommodated and positioned at the retracted position 1546 (the gap 1577), the light introducing portion 1553 is not at the position corresponding to the LED 1542.
In addition, a large number of LEDs 1541 are provided on the front side of the LED substrate 1543, and each performs predetermined issuance effect according to the setting, and emits an annular decoration 1537 and a decoration member 1533 via the rotation base 1535. At this time, the LED 1541 is provided at a position corresponding to the decoration display portion 1538 which is integrally formed from the annular decoration 1537 and juxtaposed below the decoration member 1533 together with the light emission effect in the front direction by the many LEDs 1541. . Therefore, when a predetermined character pattern or character name is displayed on the decoration display unit 1538, a predetermined light emission effect is performed when the light from the LED 1541 is irradiated.
In addition, although not particularly limited, it may be possible to provide more LEDs and correspond to which position the projecting member 1547 is located.

<Fifth movable production combination>
FIGS. 101 and 111 to 116 show an example of the fifth movable effect part 1589. FIG.
