The ROM 121 stores various data tables and the like used for controlling the rendering operation in addition to the rendering control program.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ordinary symbol game is started by the ordinary symbol display 20 based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10. After starting the change of the normal symbol, if the predetermined time that is the normal symbol change time elapses and the normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal symbol change display result is `` Normal symbol loss '' Become. When a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variation display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "an ordinary symbol", and enlargement and opening control (tilt control) of the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B is performed. Normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position after a lapse of time.

  After the first starting condition is established by, for example, the game ball winning the first starting winning opening, the first starting condition is established by, for example, ending the previous special map game or the big hit game state. Then, the special figure game using the first special symbol display 4A is started. In addition, after the second starting condition is satisfied by the game ball winning the second starting winning opening or the like, the second starting condition is satisfied by, for example, ending the previous special map game or big hitting game state. Based on this, the special figure game using the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special figure game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, a fixed special symbol (special figure display result) is derived and displayed when the variable display time elapses. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, the result is "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, "miss". After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to a big hit game state as a specific game state in which a round (also called “round game”) advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit game state, the special winning prize ball device 7 has a special winning opening door for a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of prize balls. During the period until the event occurs, the special winning opening is kept open. As a result, a round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is placed in the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player is executed.

  The special winning opening door, which has the special winning opening opened during the execution of the round, receives game balls falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the special winning opening to form a special variable winning prize ball device. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, the variation display of the effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special figure game. Then, during the period from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol to the end of the variable display, the variable display state of the effect symbol may reach a predetermined reach state. The reach state is a display in which the effect symbols stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitute a part of the big hit combination, and the effect symbols that have not been stopped and displayed are still changing. A state or a display state in which all or some of the effect symbols are synchronously fluctuating while forming all or a part of the big hit combination.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as a “non-probable variable big hit combination”) of a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “non-probable variable big hit”. ", The state is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the fluctuation display time (special figure fluctuation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving control, a so-called electric chew support, in which the winning frequency of the ordinary symbols is increased and the winning frequency to the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the special figure game is executed after the end of the big hitting game state, and either of the conditions is satisfied that the variable display result is “big hit”. Sometimes, it may be ended.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, a determined effect symbol that is a predetermined probability variable jackpot combination (also referred to as a “variable probability jackpot combination”) among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “probability variable jackpot”. If it does, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after that, the probability variation control (probable variation control) is performed together with the time saving control. By performing the certainty change control, the probability that the change display result is "big hit" in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. Probable change control is performed when the change display result becomes “big hit” after the big hit game state is completed and the condition of controlling the big hit game state is satisfied again. When the special map game is executed, the probability change control is ended by the probability variable lottery executed each time the special map game is started after the big hit game state is ended, and the "determinate fall" is determined. It may end at time, etc.

  When the time-saving control is performed, the control for making the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the ordinary figure game (the ordinary figure fluctuation time) shorter than that in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result of the ordinary symbol in each ordinary figure game becomes The control for improving the probability of "hit" than in the normal state, and the tilt control time for performing the tilt control of the movable wing piece in the normally variable winning prize ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result has become "common figure hit", The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to make it longer than in the normal state and control to increase the number of tilts than in the normal state, and the second start condition can be satisfied. Controls (electric power support control, high opening control) that are advantageous to the player by increasing the performance are performed. As a result, the second starting condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is easily satisfied, and the special figure game can be frequently executed. The time until it becomes shorter.

FIGS. 18A and 18B are explanatory diagrams showing a state in which locking is incomplete, and FIGS. 18B and 18C are explanatory diagrams showing an operation mode of a front rotating portion in a lock assisting operation. In the following, an example of a movable effect performed after the elevating body 302 moves to the lower position will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the horizontally long rotation base unit 304 at the first rotation position that is the initial drive position. I have. At the first rotation position, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the rotation motor 350 based on the fact that the first rotation position sensor 354 is on and the second rotation position sensor 355 is off (off). The front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 are in a non-excited state (off) (see FIG. 16).

  At the first rotation position, the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 are in a non-excited state (off), so that the fitting portion 362a of the lock member 362 is fitted into the locking recess 361 by the urging force of the compression spring 356b. The front rotation part 305 is locked (rotation is restricted). Further, the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 is fitted into the locking concave portion 348 by the urging force of the compression spring 357b, and the rear rotating portion 306 is locked (rotation is restricted). That is, the first rotation position is a lock position (rotation restriction position) between the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306.

  Next, when the effect control CPU 120 rotates the front rotation unit 305, first, only the front solenoid 356 is in the excited state (on), and the fitting part 362a of the lock member 362 is retracted from the locking recess 361 to lock the state. Is released, the rotation motor 350 is turned on (on), and the drive shaft 350a is rotated counterclockwise in front view (see ta1 in FIG. 16). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the rotation of the drive shaft 350a causes the front rotation part 305 to rotate about 90 degrees clockwise from the first rotation position in a front view, and the second rotation position sensor 355 to turn on. At this point, the rotation motor 350 is turned off (see off in FIG. 16). Here, the front rotation unit 305 is disposed at a second rotation position substantially orthogonal to the rotation base unit 304.

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the rear solenoid 357 to the excited state (on), retreats the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 from the locking concave portion 361, releases the locked state, and turns on the rotation motor 350 in the energized state. (On) to rotate the drive shaft 350a counterclockwise in front view (see ta3 in FIG. 16). As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the front rotation part 305 starts to rotate clockwise when viewed from the front, but the guide holes 334a and 334b rotate according to the rotation of the front rotation part 305, and the guide hole 334a is rotated. When the guide rollers 343a and 343b abut against the rear ends of the pivoting members 334b and 334b, the rear rotating portion 306 starts rotating together with the front rotating portion 305.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the effect control CPU 120 decelerates the rotation motor 350 at the time when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are rotated a predetermined number of times (for example, five rotations) (see ta4 in FIG. 16). After the deceleration is started, the first solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 are de-energized after the first rotation position sensor 354 changes from on to off (after the front rotation unit 305 passes through the first rotation position). (Off). Accordingly, the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 protrudes toward the cylindrical portion 346 and slides on a portion other than the locking concave portion 348 on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 346, and the fitting portion 362a of the lock member 362 becomes the second portion. The gear 352 protrudes toward the cylindrical portion 360 and slides on a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 360 other than the locking concave portion 361. When the front rotation part 305 approaches the second rotation position, the fitting part 363a of the lock member 363 rides on the bulging part 347 and approaches the locking concave part 348.

  Next, at the time when the second rotation position sensor 355 is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 puts the rotation motor 350 into a non-energized state (off) (see ta5 in FIG. 16). As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the front rotation unit 305 stops at the second rotation position, and the rear rotation unit stops at the first rotation position. Here, the fitting portion 363a of the locking member 363 is fitted to the locking recess 348 by the urging force of the compression spring 357b when the locking recess 348 is rotated to the corresponding position. Reference numeral 306 denotes a locked state at the first rotation position.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the rotation motor 350 in the energized state (on), rotates the drive shaft 350a clockwise in front view, and rotates (reverses) the front rotation unit 305 counterclockwise in front view. . When the first rotation position sensor 354 is turned on by about 90 degrees, the rotation motor 350 is turned off (see ta6 in FIG. 16), and the front rotation unit 305 is moved to the third position. Stop at one rotation position (see FIG. 13). At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the fitting portion 362a of the lock member 362 fits into the locking concave portion 361 by the urging force of the compression spring 356b, and the front rotating portion 305 is locked in the first rotating position. It is said.

  As a result, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 stop at the lock position, which is the first rotation position, but the effect control CPU 120 determines that the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are in the first rotation position. Lock assisting operation control for reciprocating the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 near the first rotation position so that the locking by the lock members 362 and 363 is performed reliably for a predetermined period from the time of stopping at the position. I do.

  The effect control CPU 120 stops the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 at the first rotation position as a lock assisting operation control, and then performs a predetermined period (for example, a period from ta6 to ta7 in FIG. 16). The control is performed to rotate the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 in the forward and reverse directions, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are reciprocated near the first rotation position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, after the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are rotated clockwise from the first rotation position by a predetermined angle in a front view, as shown in FIG. A reciprocating operation of rotating (reversing) a predetermined angle counterclockwise in a front view is repeated a plurality of times (for example, three times).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the effect control CPU 120 rotates the front rotation unit 305 from the second rotation position to the first rotation position (M1), and then moves the front rotation unit 305 to the first rotation position. It is rotated about 18 degrees clockwise from the moving position in a front view (M2). Next, after being rotated about 24 degrees counterclockwise from the front view (M3), it is rotated about 18 degrees clockwise from the front view (M4). Further, after turning about 18 degrees counterclockwise from the front (M5), it is turned about 12 degrees clockwise from the front (M6), and finally, about 6 degrees counterclockwise from the front. (M7) to stop driving the rotation motor 350.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotation unit 305 is rotated (reversed) about 18 degrees clockwise from the first rotation position in a front view (M2), and then rotated about 24 degrees counterclockwise in a front view. Move. That is, the first rotation position is rotated to a passing position that exceeds the first rotation position by about 6 degrees. Thus, for example, although the effect control CPU 120 performs control to stop the front rotation unit 305 at the first rotation position by the rotation motor 350, as shown in FIG. Even if the concave portion 361 does not rotate to the fitting position and does not enter the locked state due to some cause (for example, a molding error, an assembly error, a defect of the compression springs 356b, 357b, etc.), it is shown in FIG. After the front rotation unit 305 is turned to the second rotation position side, the front rotation unit 305 is turned to the passing position as shown in FIG. Since the fitting portion 362a is easily fitted, the locked state can be more reliably achieved.

  Further, by performing the reciprocating operation a plurality of times in this manner, even if the lock control operation is not locked by the first rotation to the first rotation position, the lock control operation is shifted to the second and subsequent first rotation positions. In some cases, the lock state may be caused by the rotation of the rotation, and thus the lock state can be more reliably achieved. Further, the locked state may be obtained by at least one of the rotation operations (M1, M3, M5, M7) to the first rotation position.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front turning portion 305 is turned from the first turning position to the passing position, so that the rear turning portions 306 of the rear turning portion 306 are attached to the turning rear end portions of the guide holes 334a and 334b of the front turning portion 305. The guide rollers 343a and 343b come into contact with each other and slightly rotate the rear rotation portion 306 from the first rotation position to the passage position side. Then, the front rotation unit 305 returns to the first rotation position by rotating from the passing position to the second rotation position. As described above, the rear rotation unit 306 does not directly perform the lock assisting operation by driving the rotation motor 350 unlike the front rotation unit 305, but follows the rotation of the front rotation unit 305 to perform the lock assisting operation. Therefore, even when the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 is not fitted into the locking concave portion 348 when returning to the first rotation position, the locked state is established by the lock assisting operation. It has become.

  Note that the swing width (rotation angle) of the front rotation unit 305 in the lock assisting operation control is not limited to the above, and for example, at least between the first rotation position and the second rotation position. The reciprocating operation may be performed, but it is preferable to set the swing width (for example, within a rotation range of about 30 degrees) so as not to apply a large load such that the rotation unit 322 is damaged.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 repeats a plurality of reciprocating operations of stopping the front rotation unit 305 at the first rotation position, rotating the front rotation unit 305 toward the second rotation position, and then reversing the first rotation position. Although repeated, the swing width of the reciprocating operation is gradually reduced (M2> M4> M6). By doing so, the reciprocating operation can be naturally converged, so that the load applied to the rotating unit 322 can be reduced as compared with the case where the reciprocating operation having a large swing width is performed a plurality of times.

  In the present embodiment, the swing width of the reciprocating operation is gradually reduced as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the swing width of the reciprocating operation may be the same. , May be gradually increased. Further, the reciprocating operation is not limited to three times as described above, but may be one time, two times, or four times or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when reversing in the reciprocating operation, the robot is turned to pass through the first turning position to the passing position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As in Modification Example 1 shown in FIG. 17B, reciprocating operation may be performed between the first rotation position and the second rotation position, or as in Modification Example 2 shown in FIG. The reciprocating operation may be performed between the first rotation position and the passing position.

  Next, an operation mode of the elevating body 302 and the moving body 402 will be described with reference to FIGS. 19A is an explanatory view showing a state in which the elevating body is in the upper position and the moving body is in the forward position, FIG. 19B is an explanatory view showing a state in which the elevating body is in the intermediate position, and the moving body is in the forward position; (C) is an explanatory view showing a state where the elevating body is at the lower position and the moving body is at the rear position. 20A is a schematic front view showing a state in which the elevating body contacts the moving body when ascending, and FIG. 20B is a schematic side view.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, when the elevating body 302 is at the upper position, the moving body 402 is at the front position on the front side of the elevating body 302, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are in the first rotation. Is located in the position. The elevating body 302 and the moving body 402 are arranged on the front upper side of the effect display device 5. Here, when the effect control CPU 120 lowers the elevating body 302 by the elevating motors 310L and 310R, the elevating body 302 rotates while descending, but the rotating base 304, the front rotating part 305, and the rear rotating part. 306 does not contact the moving body 402 in front.

  Next, when the effect control CPU 120 has passed through the intermediate position shown in FIG. 19B and descended to the lower position shown in FIG. 19C, it stops driving the elevating motors 310L and 310R. The elevating body 302 overlaps the front side of the effect display device 5 from the intermediate position to the lower position. Then, after the elevating body 302 moves to the lower position, or when the elevating body 302 moves below the lower end of the moving body 402, the moving body 402 is moved from the front position to the rear position.

  By moving the moving body 402 to the rear position, the moving body 402 is disposed behind the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306. Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 excites the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357. Then, the locked state is released, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are rotated by the rotation motor 350. At this time, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 protrude above the rotation base unit 304, but do not contact the moving body 402.

  Also, when the lifting / lowering body 302 is at the upper position, the moving body 402 is disposed in front of the lifting / lowering body 302, and when the lifting / lowering body 302 is lowered to the lower position, the lifting / lowering body 302 is disposed in front of the moving body 402. The player who wants to show the elevating body and the moving body 402 according to the situation can be easily seen from the player side.

  When moving the elevating body 302 from the lower position to the upper position, the effect control CPU 120 moves the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 to the first rotation position as shown in FIG. After each is locked in the first rotation position, the moving body 402 is moved from the rear position to the front position, and then the lifting / lowering body 302 is moved upward. Therefore, the elevating body 302 and the moving body 402 do not come into contact with each other as in the case of descending.

  However, when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are not locked at the first rotation position when the lifting / lowering body 302 is at the lower position, for example, as shown in FIG. Since the front rotation part 305 is inclined with respect to the rotation base part 304, as shown in FIG. 20B, when moving further upward from the intermediate position, the front rotation part 305 contacts the moving body 402 and moves upward. It may be regulated.

  As described above, when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are not locked at the first rotation position, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 do not contact the moving body 402 when moving upward. If the 305 or the rear rotation unit 306 is not locked at the first rotation position, the movement may be hindered by the contact with the moving body 402 when moving upward. Therefore, as described above, the effect control CPU 120 performs the lock assisting operation control when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are stopped at the first rotation position after being rotated. Since the locked state can be reliably established, the above-described contact can be avoided.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 as the movable bodies provided rotatably, and the front rotation unit 305 and Locking means (for example, a front solenoid 356, a lock member 362, a second gear) that locks the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 when the rear rotation unit 306 rotates to the first rotation position that is the lock position. 352, a locking solenoid 357, a rear solenoid 357, a lock member 363, a locking recess 348 of the cylindrical portion 346, and an effect control CPU 120). The effect control CPU 120 includes a front rotation unit 305 and a rear rotation unit 306. Are stopped at the first rotation position, and then the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 is rotated forward and reverse for a predetermined period (for example, a period from ta6 to ta7 in FIG. 16). Performs a click auxiliary operation control, reciprocates in the vicinity of the first rotational position and a rear pivot portion 306 and the last movement section 305.

  With this configuration, when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 have moved to the first rotation position, the lock assisting operation control is performed even if the locking by the locking unit is not performed due to some trouble. By doing so, it is possible to suitably lock.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 stops the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 at the first rotation position as a lock assisting operation control, and then performs a predetermined period (for example, from ta6 to ta7 in FIG. 16). During this period, control is performed to rotate the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 in the normal and reverse directions, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are caused to reciprocate near the first rotation position. Since the rotation is performed again, locking can be performed more suitably.

  Further, since a predetermined gap (play) is provided between the locking concave portion 361 and the fitting portion 362a in the front rotating portion 305 and the rear rotating portion 306 of the elevating body 302, the fitting portion 362a is not provided. When the second gear 352 is in the locked state by being fitted into the locking concave portion 361, the second gear 352, that is, the front rotating portion 305 can be slightly rotated (slightly moved) in the forward and reverse rotation directions. . By doing so, it is possible to prevent a load on the drive mechanism of the rotation unit 322 due to the lock assisting operation.

  In addition, a first lock unit (for example, a front solenoid 356, a lock member 362, a second lock unit 362) that has at least a front rotation unit 305 and a rear rotation unit 306 different from the front rotation unit 305, and locks the front rotation unit 305. Second locking means (for example, a rear solenoid 357, a lock member 363, a locking concave portion 348 of the cylindrical portion 346, the effect controlling CPU 120) for locking the locking concave portion 361 of the gear 352 and the effect controlling CPU 120. ). By doing so, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 can be individually locked, so that the positions of the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 from the first rotation position can be set. The displacement can be suitably prevented.

  In addition, the elevating body 302 having the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 is provided so as to be movable between an upper position and a lower position different from the upper position. The effect control CPU 120 stops driving the elevating motors 310L and 310R when descending to the lower position shown in FIG. 19C. Then, after the elevating body 302 moves to the lower position, or when the elevating body 302 moves below the lower end of the moving body 402, the moving body 402 is moved from the front position to the rear position. As a result, the moving body 402 is disposed behind the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306. Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 releases the locked state and the rotation motor 350 rotates the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit. The part 306 is rotated. When the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are not locked at the first rotation position, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 do not contact the moving body 402 when moving upward. When the rear rotation unit 306 is not locked at the first rotation position, the rear rotation unit 306 is configured to contact the moving body 402 when moving upward.

  In this way, even if the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are operated in the lower position, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are moved to the upper position after being locked, so that the contact with the moving body 402 can be preferably avoided. it can.

  The moving body 402 is provided so as to be movable between a front position and a rear position. When the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are at the upper position, the mobile unit 402 is at the front position. The rotating unit 306 moves from the front position to the rear position in response to the movement from the front position to the rear position. By doing so, it is possible to make it easier for the player to see who wants to show the elevating body 302 and the moving body 402 according to the situation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 as movable bodies are provided so as to be rotatable around the rotation shaft 333, and are locked at the first rotation position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body is not limited to a rotatably provided one, but is a movable body provided to be movable linearly or curvedly. You may. Further, the locked state is not limited to a state in which the movable body is fixed at a predetermined position, but may be a state in which only the movement in one direction among a plurality is restricted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 as the movable bodies directly reciprocate when only the front rotation unit 305 is driven by the rotation motor 350 in the lock assist operation control. The rear rotating portion 306 follows the front rotating portion 305 via a connecting means including the guide holes 334a and 334b and the guide rollers 343a and 343b (or the guide shafts 335a and 335b and the guide holes 344a and 344b) and reciprocates. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear rotation unit 306 is rotatably provided by the rotation motor 350 or a drive source separate from the rotation motor 350, and the like. The reciprocating operation may be performed by the separate driving sources.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotating unit 305 and the rear rotating unit 306 are provided as movable bodies, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one movable body may be used. It may have three or more movable bodies. When a plurality of movable bodies are provided, each of which is in a locked state at the lock position, all movable bodies may perform the lock assisting operation near the lock position, or some movable bodies may be locked. The body, for example, a movable body having a structure that is less likely to be locked than other movable bodies, or another effect member or structure such as the moving body 402 that is not locked as in the above-described front rotating portion 305. The lock assisting operation may be performed only for a movable body or the like that is easily contacted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are locked in the first rotation position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The locked state may be set at the rotation position or at other points.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first locking means that locks the front rotation unit 305 locks the second gear 352 that transmits the driving force of the rotation motor 350 to the front rotation unit 305. However, a locked state may be achieved by fitting the front rotating portion 305 at a predetermined position. The second locking means for locking the rear rotating portion 306 locks the vicinity of the center of rotation of the rear rotating portion 306. However, the second locking means locks the driving force of the driving source to the rear rotating portion 306. May be used to regulate the operation of a part of the drive mechanism, such as a gear that transmits power to the motor.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of the lock unit, for example, the front solenoid 356, the lock member 362, the lock concave portion 361 of the second gear 352, the rear solenoid 357, the lock member 363, the lock concave portion 348 of the cylindrical portion 346, Although the effect control CPU 120 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. As described above, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are locked by fitting the convex portion to the concave portion. The locking means is not limited to the above-described locking means, as long as it can be changed between a locked state in which the operation of the movable body is restricted and a release state in which the restriction is released.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the fitting portions 362a and 363a are fitted into the locking concave portions 361 and 348 by the urging force of the compression springs 356b and 357b to be in the locked state. However, the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 356 are provided. The lock member may be moved by a drive source such as 357 or a motor to be in a locked state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the lock assisting operation control of the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, which are movable bodies, are reciprocated near the first rotation position. Although the control for rotating the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 in the forward and reverse directions is described in the above description, the present invention is not limited to this, and the control is previously performed by a drive source separate from the rotation motor 350 for operating the movable body. Control for reciprocating the moving part 305 and the rear rotating part 306 may be performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the lock assisting operation control of the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, which are movable bodies, are reciprocated near the first rotation position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lock assisting operation control is a control in which the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are vibrated by a vibration motor separate from the rotation motor 350. Alternatively, the control may be such that the entire lifting body 302 is rotated.

  Further, the lock assisting operation control may be a control for operating the lock members 362 and 363 by repeating excitation and non-excitation of the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 as the locking means.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after performing the operation illustrated in FIGS. 10 to 13, the reciprocating operation illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15 is performed every time. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The lock assisting operation control may be performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, a detecting means or the like for detecting that the locked state has been provided is provided, and when the locked state is not detected even though the movable effect for performing the operation shown in FIGS. The condition may be satisfied. Further, the predetermined condition may be satisfied when the movable effect is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, five times), or when the supply of power to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started (at the time of starting), the predetermined condition is satisfied. You may make it hold.

  Further, while the CPU 103 is executing the time-saving control or the probable change control, it may be established when a movable effect performing the operation shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 is executed. That is, when performing the movable effect in the super reach effect, the effect control CPU 120 increases the execution frequency of the super reach effect because the probability of a large hit is higher during the execution of the probability change control than at the time of the non-probability change. The predetermined condition may be satisfied when the execution frequency is high in this manner.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the movable body, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 of the first effect unit 300 are illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body may be the first rotation unit. A movable body mounted on an effect device other than the effect unit 300 or a movable device mounted on a game device controlled by the game control microcomputer 100 may be used.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as an example of the movable effect, a mode in which the front turning unit 305 and the rear turning unit 306 are turned as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the movable effect can be variously changed.
