[2-9. Outer frame side upper hinge member lock mechanism]
Next, in the outer frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, FIGS. 16 and 17 will be described with respect to the locking mechanism for the main frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main frame 4 by the lock member 66 in the outer frame side upper hinge member 60. It will be described with reference to FIG. 16A is an enlarged perspective view showing a state where the main frame side upper hinge member of the main body frame is removed with respect to the outer frame side upper hinge member of the outer frame, and FIG. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the state in which the main body side upper hinge member is attached to the upper hinge member. FIG. 17 is an explanatory view showing the action of the lock member in the outer frame.

In the state where the lock member 66 in the outer frame 2 is attached to the front extension portion 62 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 (normal state), the tip of the elastic portion 66c contacts the inner peripheral surface of the hanging portion 65. The lock main body 66a closes a part of the bearing groove 63 bent in a V shape, and the tip portion of the lock main body 66a does not close the deepest part of the bearing groove 63. A space into which the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 of the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame 4 can be inserted is formed in the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63.

In the support mechanism of the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 using the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 and the lock member 66 in the present embodiment, the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the deepest part of the bearing groove 63, and the front end of the lock main body 66a. The right side surface of the lock body 66a is close to the right side hanging portion 65 (in this state, there is a slight gap between the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66a and the right side hanging portion 65, and they are in contact with each other. In the normal shaft support state, the center of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame located at the deepest part of the bent bearing groove 63 and the front end face of the lock main body 63 are diagonally displaced and opposed to each other. It is in a state.

In this normal axial support state, the main body frame upper hinge pin 622, which supports the heavy main body frame 4, is in contact with the front end portion of the bearing groove 63. Almost no load is applied from 622 to the front end face of the lock member 66. That is, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. Since the front end surface of the lock body 66a is formed in an arc shape, when the operating portion 66b is rotated to rotate the lock member 66, the lock member 66 smoothly rotates. There is. Further, in the figure, the arc center of the front end face of the lock body 66a is the center of the mounting hole 66d (the rotation center of the lock member 66).

Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is removed along the inclination of the bearing groove 63 formed in a dogleg shape, and the abutment is made on the arc-shaped front end surface of the lock main body 66a, the acting force is exerted. F is a component force F1 (the normal direction of the arc of the front end surface of the lock body 66a) acting on the contact portion between the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 and the arcuate front end surface, and the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 and the bearing groove 63. When the force is divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact surface with the inner surface of one side, and the direction of the component force F1 faces the center of the mounting hole 66d (mounting screw 67) (the rotation center of the lock member 66). The moment that causes the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 to rotate in the direction away from the right hanging portion 65 does not work, and the main body frame hinge pin 622 causes the front end portion of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 and one of the bearing grooves 63. The state of being sandwiched between the inner surface and the inner side surface is retained.

Therefore, even when the lock member 66 is in the normal axial support state or the action force of the main body frame hinge pin 622 is applied to the lock member 66, the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 is not always loaded and is integrally formed of synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the elastic portion 66c to be prevented, and to prevent the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame from coming off the bearing groove 63 for a long period of time. Even if an unreasonable force is applied and the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is rotated in the direction of moving to the right, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66a comes into contact with the drooping portion 65 and further Since it does not rotate, the lock member 66 does not protrude to the outside of the front extension portion 62.

Even if the front end surface of the lock main body 66a is not arcuate, the lock member 66 is positioned such that the rotational moment is not generated by the action of the component force F1 or the front end of the lock member 66 faces the outside of the front protrusion 62. By locating the rotation center of the lock member 66 (the shaft fixed by the mounting screw 67) at the position where the rotation moment for rotation is generated, the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 is not always loaded, and the lock is performed. Even if the member 66 rotates, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66a only abuts on the hanging portion 65, so that the lock member 66 does not protrude to the outside of the front extension 62.

When the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 of the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 is supported by the bearing groove 63 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60, the main body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63 from the open side of the bearing groove 63. Insert the hinge pin 622. When the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the bearing groove 63, the body frame upper hinge pin 622 comes into contact with the right side surface of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66, and the front end of the lock body 66a is resisted against the biasing force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates about the mounting screw 67 so as to move to the left. As a result, the lock main body 66a that closed the bearing groove 63 retracts to open the bearing groove 63, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame can be moved to the deepest portion (front end) of the bearing groove 63.

When the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is moved to the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63, the contact between the body frame upper hinge pin 622 and the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is released, and the lock body 66a is biased by the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates so that the front end of the lock member 66 moves to the right, and the lock member 66 returns to the normal state. As a result, the main body frame hinge pin 622 is brought into a state of being housed in the space in the bearing groove 63 on the front side of the front end of the lock main body 66 a, and the main body frame hinge pin 622 is rotatable at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. It will be held (locked) in this state.

When removing the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame from the inside of the bearing groove 63, the operating portion 66b of the lock member 66 is operated to rotate the lock member 66 so that the front end of the lock main body 66a moves to the left, and the elastic portion The lock body 66a is retracted from the bearing groove 63 against the biasing force of 66c. As a result, the deepest part of the bearing groove 63 and the opening are in communication with each other, and the main body frame upper hinge pin 622 can be removed from the bearing groove 63.

The curtain plate member 50 includes a standing wall portion 54 that rises upward from the rear end of the upper surface. As a result, even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire is allowed to enter the rear side of the body frame 4 (pachinko machine 1) through the gap between the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the body frame side lower hinge member 640. Since the tip of the unauthorized tool comes into contact with the standing wall portion 54 extending upward from the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the unauthorized tool can be prevented from being inserted further rearward. It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed through the outer frame side lower hinge member 70.

In addition, since the upper end of the standing wall portion 54 is provided with the return portion 55 extending forward, when the illegal tool that abuts the standing wall portion 54 is bent upward, the return portion 55 causes the tip of the incorrect tool to be bent. Since it can be folded back further forward, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized tool from entering the rear side of the main body frame 4, and a fraudulent act is performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. Can be reliably prevented.

By the way, when the standing wall portion 54 extending upward is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 as shown in FIG. 18B. When the game ball falls on the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 (horizontal portion 71) in the state of being present, the game ball on the horizontal portion 71 is discharged rearward from the rear end of the horizontal portion 71 due to the presence of the standing wall portion 54. Since it is not carried out, there is a possibility that it may be sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the horizontal hole 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the rearward extending portion 51 of the curtain plate member 50 have a discharge hole 74 through which a game ball can pass and a right discharge hole 52. , And the left discharge hole 53, the game ball on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 can be discharged downward from the discharge hole 74 and the like, and the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 It is possible to reduce that the game ball is sandwiched between.

Therefore, by sandwiching the game ball between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is damaged, and the main body frame 4 does not close in a normal state and the outer frame 2 It is possible to prevent a fraudulent act from being made by using a gap between the main body frame 4 and the gap.

[3-1d-4. Features of production operation unit]
As shown in FIG. 40, the effect operation unit 220 of the present embodiment, in the assembled state, has a lower end of the damper 222 attached to the damper attachment recess 240c of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B from the lower surface of the lower case 240. Since it also projects downward, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A and the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B. Further, the tip surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the four horizontal support pins 231b of the unit case 231 coincide with the bottom surface of the counterbore of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243, and move upwards of the touch unit 220B with respect to the horizontal support pins 231b. Movement is restricted by a flat washer on the head of the screw 227 screwed into the upper end of the lateral support pin 231b. Further, the tapered portion 231i formed on the upper end side of the lateral support pin 231b and the tapered portion 243d formed on the lower end side of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243 are separated from each other.

Further, in the effect operation unit 220, as shown in FIG. 41, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted in the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 is slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a on the side of the horizontal support pin 231b. It projects upward. Further, since a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 and the lower surface A gap is also formed between the lower surface of the case 240 and the case. A gap is also formed between the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240. That is, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A with its lower surface floating in the air by the dampers 222 inserted into the left and right lateral support pins 231b.

Further, the effect operation unit 220 is narrowed downward in the unit case 231 in which the touch unit 220B is mounted from the upper side in the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the pyramidal cylinder which is narrowed downward in the mounting base 230 of the mounting base unit 220A. The lower end of the round pyramid-shaped receiving projection 231e is inserted. A slight gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e. As a result, in a normal state, only the vicinity of the outer periphery of the unit case 231 is attached to the attachment base 230 with the inside of the unit case 231 (the central side of the housing recess 231a) floating in the air.

Further, in the effect operation unit 220, as shown in FIG. 30 and the like, the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237 is linear (along the rear side near the game area 5a in the touch unit 220B). It is exposed as a strip. The length of the upper end of the linear light emitting unit 237b is about 2/3 of the length of the rear side of the touch unit 220B. The upper plate rear decorative member 236 is arranged on the rear side of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b exposed along the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Further, an upper plate ball removal button 239 is arranged on the right side of the upper plate rear decorative member 236 in front view. Further, a button unit 220C is arranged on the left side of the touch unit 220B when viewed from the front.

The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player according to the game state that changes by hitting a game ball in the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, the image (effect image) can be presented to the player through the transparent touch panel 246 to entertain the player.

As an image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, an image simulating an operation button is displayed, and the touch detection by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246 can be accepted, whereby the image of the image can be displayed to the player. The operation buttons can be operated, and the effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 at the time of presentation using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation button, and various images can be displayed.

Further, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the plurality of dampers 222 in a state of being floated from the unit case 231, the touch unit 220B is operated by operating the vibrating device 242 according to the gaming state. Can be vibrated. When the touch panel 246 (touch unit 220B) is vibrated by the vibrating device 242 at the time of presentation using the touch panel 246, the vibration of the vibrating device 242 is applied to the finger or hand of the player contacting the touch panel 246. By transmitting it, it is possible to make the player feel as if he/she is operating an actual operation button despite operating the image operation button. It is possible to prevent the player from entertaining and deteriorating the interest.

Furthermore, since the production operation unit 220 includes the button unit 220C on the left side of the touch unit 220B when viewed from the front, the player is caused to press the upper plate production button 257 in accordance with the game state, and the upper plate production button 257 is operated. You can entertain the operation. More specifically, since the image operation buttons on the touch panel 246 only touch the touch panel 246, they may lack a sense of operation compared to the actual operation buttons, but the upper plate effect button 257 should be actually pressed. Therefore, it is possible to comfortably entertain the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 without giving an uncomfortable feeling to the operation of the upper plate effect button 257, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game. ..

Since this effect operation unit 220 is arranged in a region where the upper plate 201 is provided in the plate unit 200 that is bulging forward, the game is performed even during an effect using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a possibility that a person may hit the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a state of floating from the lower unit case 231, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from above, the elasticity of the damper 222 is increased. The force can absorb the impact to some extent. More specifically, when the touch unit 220B is struck or a shock (load) is applied from above, the left and right lateral support pins 231b are transmitted to the inserted damper 222, and the touch unit 220B descends while the damper 222 is being lowered. Is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

When the touch unit 220B further descends due to the impact, the lower surface of the lower case 240 abuts on the upper end of the damper 222 into which the front support pin 231c is inserted, and is supported by the front support pin 231c as the touch unit 220B descends. The damper 222 being compressed is compressed downward. As a result, the shock from the touch unit 220B is absorbed not only by the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b but also by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c.

When the touch unit 220B further descends due to the impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B comes into contact with the bottom surfaces on the left and right sides of the housing recess 231a in the unit case 231 and the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d. As a result, the impact from the touch unit 220B directly acts on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220B without passing through the plurality of dampers 222.

Further, when the touch unit 220B descends, the load from the central support protrusion 231d causes the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 to bend so that its center moves downward. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a. When the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is bent, the pair of receiving projections 231e projecting downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a descend. When the projecting portion 231e is further lowered by the impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the projecting portion 231e contacts the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and the touch unit 220B ejects from the touch unit 220B. The shock is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving portion 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the tubular receiving portion 230c are formed in a pyramidal shape that narrows downward, respectively, from the receiving protrusion 231e to the tubular receiving portion 230c (mounting base 230 side). The transmitted load is dispersed and transmitted in the direction along the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. As described above, since the structure that absorbs the shock applied to the touch unit 220B is transmitted by the mounting base 230, the shocks applied to the touch unit 220B are sufficiently absorbed. The touch unit 220B, the unit case 231, the mounting base 230 and the like are less likely to be damaged by the impact.

In addition, the effect operation unit 220, the linear light emitting portion of the linear light emitting lens member 237 extending along the outer peripheral edge of the rear side of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral edge LED 235b of the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 according to the game state. The upper end of 237b can be made to emit light linearly. As a result, the player's interest can be attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 in the touch unit 220B, the touch effect using the touch panel 246, and the like are enjoyed, and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

Further, depending on the game state, the decoration LED 235a of the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 causes the upper plate rear decoration member 236 arranged on the rear side of the touch panel 246 (the rear side of the linear light emitting section 237b) to emit light. be able to. By illuminating and decorating the decorative member 236 after the upper plate, the player's interest is attracted to the performance operation unit 220 such as the touch unit 220B, like the light emission of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the effect presented by the effect operation unit 220 and suppress a decrease in interest.

Further, the touch unit 220B provided with the upper plate liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is mounted on the plate unit cover 260 by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the plate unit cover 260, which will be described later. Is disposed at a position higher than the upper surface of the touch unit 220B, and a waterproof seal 248 is attached to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Accordingly, in the upper plate 201, even if water (water droplets) condensed on the surface of the upper plate body 212 or the game ball by touching the outside air flows to the lower side of the upper plate 201 (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262). It is possible to prevent dew condensation water from entering the touch unit 220B, and prevent troubles in the touch unit 220B.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 41, since the upper plate post-decoration substrate 235 for emitting and decorating the upper plate post-decoration member 236 and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201, Since the upper plate 201 is not exposed to water droplets that have condensed, it is possible to prevent a defect such as a short circuit or corrosion from occurring in the upper plate rear decorative substrate 235.

Further, since the effect operation unit 220 is provided with the touch panel 246, in addition to the effect by the image, the effect of causing the player to operate the touch panel 246 can be performed, and the player can be entertained with various effects. By causing the player to operate the touch panel 246, the player can participate in the effect, and it is possible to prevent the player from actively entertaining the effect and deteriorating the interest.

Further, the linear light emitting lens member 237 (the linear light emitting portion 237b) arranged along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B moves the game ball in the upper plate 201 to the ball feeding unit 540 (the hitting ball launching device 680). Along with the guide passage portion 212a for sending, an upper dish ball removing button 239 for operating the upper dish ball removing unit 310 is arranged between the guide passage portion 212a and the guide passage portion 212a. That is, the linear light emitting lens member 237 is provided in the vicinity of the place where the player confirms the game ball necessary for the game, and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position the player cares about even during the game. Therefore, the light emission of the linear light emitting lens member 237 can be noticed, and the player's interest is attracted to the touch unit 220B to produce an effect by the touch unit 220B (an effect image by the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, a touch panel 246). It is possible to make it easier to notice the timing of touch operation, etc.).

Further, the touch unit 220B provided with the upper plate liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is mounted on the upper plate lower cover portion 262 of the plate unit cover 260 by the mounting base 230 of the mounting base unit 220A and the unit case 231. Since the waterproof seal 248 is attached to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B, the upper plate body 212 and the surface of the game ball are exposed by touching the outside air in the upper plate 201. Even if the condensed water (water droplets) flows under the upper plate 201 (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262), it is possible to prevent the condensed water from entering the touch unit 220B, and thus the touch unit 220B. It is possible to prevent problems from occurring in

In addition, as shown in FIG. 41, since the upper plate post-decoration substrate 235 for emitting and decorating the upper plate post-decoration member 236 and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201, Since the upper plate 201 is not exposed to water droplets that have condensed, it is possible to prevent a defect such as a short circuit or corrosion from occurring in the upper plate rear decorative substrate 235.

Furthermore, in the operation unit 220 of the dish unit 200, when the touch device 220B including the touch panel 246 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is vibrated by the vibrating device 242, a plurality (two) of touch units 220B are provided. Since the damper 222 is attached to the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A in a floating state, the vibration of the touch unit 220B (vibrating device 242) is absorbed and attenuated by the damper 222 and is transmitted to the mounting base unit 220A. This means that the vibration of the mounting base unit 220A can be reduced. Therefore, when the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibration device 242 when the touch panel 246 of the touch unit 220B is touch-operated, only the touch unit 220B vibrates, so that the touch panel of the touch unit 220B is presented to the player. The operation feeling of 246 can be sufficiently given, and it is possible to prevent the player from delighting the touch operation of the touch panel 246 and deteriorating the interest.

Moreover, since the touch unit 220B can be vibrated by the vibrating device 242, in addition to the operation feeling of the touch panel 246, the player can be surprised by the vibration of the touch unit 220B or suggest the timing of operating the touch panel 246. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of interest by delighting the operation effect of the touch panel 246 of the touch unit 220B.

Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the plurality of dampers 222 from the lower side, even if the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pressed from the upper side and a shock or a load is applied to the touch unit 220B, the damper 222 is used. Since it is possible to absorb the impact and the like, it is possible to reduce damage to the touch unit 220B, the mounting base unit 220A, and the like due to the impact and the like, and the game is interrupted due to the damage of the touch unit 220B and the like. Thus, it is possible to prevent the interest of the player from being lowered.

Further, since the touch panel 246 is used as the operation unit of the touch unit 220B, the touch panel 246 is touched for a longer time when the player operates the button than when the button is pressed. When the vibration unit 242 vibrates the touch unit 220B when touching the 246, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the player's finger (hand). Therefore, the player's finger can vibrate to make the player realize that he or she is operating the touch panel 246, so that a sufficient operation feeling can be given and the player can enjoy the operation of the touch panel 246. It is possible to prevent the interest from decreasing.

Further, by changing the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, it is possible to easily change the type of touch operation (button), and it is possible to deal with various effects. It is possible to prevent the player from getting tired and the interest of the player from decreasing due to various effects. Further, since the touch unit 220B is provided with the touch panel 246, compared with the conventional push button, touch, tap (single tap, double tap), drag, flick, pinch (pinch out, pinch in), swipe, touch and touch. Various operations such as hold and the like can be performed. As a result, more various operation effects can be performed, and it is possible to prevent the player from being entertained and from having less interest.

Further, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A (unit case 231) so as not to move upward and to move downward, and the elastic force (biasing force) of the plurality of dampers 222 causes the touch unit 220B. Is pressed against the upper moving end, the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move during the operation of the touch panel 246, and the touch panel 246 can be easily operated accurately. Further, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, it is possible to make the player think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B, which is thought not to move, is vibrated according to the game state. By vibrating by the device 242, the player can be surprised, and it is possible to suppress the entertaining and deteriorating the interest of the player.

Further, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the plurality of vibrating devices 242 separated from each other, for example, by driving the vibrating device 242 at a position close to the part operated by the player on the touch panel 246, the vibrating device is strong. Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the player operates a position different from the position to be operated on the touch panel 246, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is informed of the wrong operation. Therefore, it is possible to allow the player to perform a correct operation, and it is possible to prevent the operation effect using the touch panel 246 from being enjoyed and prevent the interest from being lowered.

Further, since a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other are provided, a resonance phenomenon is generated at an arbitrary position of the touch panel 246 by appropriately controlling the frequency and intensity of vibration of each vibration device 242. You can Therefore, by controlling each vibrating device 242 so that the resonance phenomenon occurs at an arbitrary position operated by the player, it is possible to give a further operation feeling or to greatly surprise the player. It is possible to suppress the entertaining of the player and the decrease in interest.

Further, when the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pressed from above and a shock or load is applied to the touch unit 220B, the left and right ends of the touch unit 220B are attached to the unit case 231 with the damper 222 interposed therebetween. Therefore, the damper 222 and the bending of the touch unit 220B can absorb (attenuate) an impact or the like from the upper side to some extent and transmit the impact to the unit case 231 side. Further, on the unit case 231 side, since the outer edge of the unit case 231 is attached to the lower mounting base 230, an impact or load from the touch unit 220B side through the unit case 231 is applied to the mounting base 230. Can be widely dispersed and transmitted. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e protruding downward from the lower surface of the unit case 231 and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c in which the receiving projection 231e is inserted on the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230. Since the gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall, the receiving projection 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other after the unit case 231 is bent downward due to the impact or load from the touch unit 220B. The shock or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the shock or the like is further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231 and is transmitted to the mounting base 230. Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the tubular receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the receiving projection 231e and the tubular receiving portion 230c contact each other, the receiving projection 231e (unit case 231) is transmitted in an oblique direction to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and the impact and load from the side of the mounting base 230 are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. As a result, the force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward direction) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend becomes smaller and is transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pressed from above, the shock and the like can be effectively attenuated by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231, and the mounting base 230, and the touch unit 220B and It is possible to prevent the mounting base unit 220A from being damaged.

And a stopper piece 825g.

When the shaft member 824 is passed through the shaft hole 825b, the movable piece member front 825 is rotated by its own weight so that the weight attaching portion 825e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 825d is positioned immediately below the shaft hole 825b. Then, the movable piece 825a extends obliquely downward from the portion of the shaft hole 825b. Therefore, in a state where the ball guiding unit 820 is assembled, the connecting portion 825d is inserted into the notch portion 821g of the front case 821, the lower end of the movable piece 825a is projected into the guiding passage 821c, and the stopper piece 825g is The guide passage 821c (detection portion 821e) is brought into contact with the outer wall of the guide passage 821c. The stopper piece 825g comes into contact with the outer wall of the guide passage 821c, so that the lower end of the movable piece 825a is restricted from further rotating in the direction of protruding into the guide passage 821c (left direction in front view). In addition, when the lower end of the movable piece 825a is rotated in the direction of approaching the wall of the guide passage 821c (right direction in front view), the movable piece member front 825 causes the left side surface of the movable piece 825a to move to the guide passage 821c. It matches the inside. In this state, the detection piece 825f at the front of the movable piece member 825 is in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 821c, the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 becomes non-detection.

The movable piece member 826 has a vertically extending flat plate-shaped movable piece 826a, a shaft hole 826b penetrating in the front-rear direction at the upper end of the right side surface of the movable piece 826a, and a shaft member 824 inserted therethrough, and the movable piece 826a. An extending portion 826c extending rightward from the upper end at a right angle to the right surface of the movable piece 826a, connecting the extending portion 826c and the movable piece 826a, and extending in a fan shape around the shaft hole 826b. The portion 826d, the weight attachment portion 826e having the through holes penetrating in the front and rear directions outwardly projecting from the vicinity of the center of the outer periphery of the upper portion of the extending portion 826c and the connecting portion 826d, and the right side of the extending portion 826c. A detection piece 826f that extends outward from the tip in a flat plate shape and can be detected by the out-of-ball detection sensor 827, and a stopper that extends outward from a position near the movable piece 826a on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d in a flat plate shape. And a piece 826g.

When the shaft member 824 is passed through the shaft hole 826b, the movable piece member 826 is rotated by its own weight so that the weight attaching portion 826e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d is positioned immediately below the shaft hole 826b. The movable piece 826a extends obliquely downward from the shaft hole 826b. Therefore, in the state where the ball guiding unit 820 is assembled, the connecting portion 826d is inserted into the notch portion 822g of the rear case 822, the lower end of the movable piece 826a is projected into the guiding passage 822c, and the stopper piece 826g is The state is in contact with the outer wall of the guide passage 822c (detection unit 822e). The stopper piece 826g comes into contact with the outer wall of the guide passage 822c, so that the lower end of the movable piece 826a is restricted from further rotating in the direction of protruding into the guide passage 822c (left direction in front view). Further, when the lower end of the movable piece 826a is rotated in the direction of approaching the wall of the guide passage 822c (right direction when viewed from the front), the movable piece member front 826 causes the left side surface of the movable piece 826a to move toward the guide passage 822c. It matches the inside. In this state, the detection piece 826f in front of the movable piece member 826 is in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 822c, the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 becomes non-detection.

The ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment is supplied in a state in which a plurality of game balls are lined up in a row by the tank rail 803, and the front case 821 and the rear case are arranged in a state where the game balls are lined up in a row. By 822, it is possible to guide the dispensing device 830 below in a two-row state (see FIG. 80). At this time, since the front case 821 and the rear case 822 are partitioned by the partition plate 823, the game balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c and 822c do not interfere with each other and can flow well. You can

Further, when the game sphere flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c of the ball guiding unit 820, the game sphere abuts the movable piece member front 825 and the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member 826, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a are guided. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 rotate in a direction coinciding with the wall surfaces of the passages 821c and 822c. As a result, the movable piece member front 825 and the detection pieces 825f and 826f of the movable piece member 826 are in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827, and it is understood that there is a game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c.

When the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guiding unit 820 pays out the game balls or the like, the game balls in the guide passages 821c and 822c will flow downstream. When the game ball flows in the guide passages 821c and 822c, the momentum of the game ball flowing through the introduction parts 821d and 822d becomes strong, and the game ball flowing through the introduction parts 821d and 822d is movable above the detection parts 821e and 822e. It bounces back to the side of 825a, 826a and comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Since the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate due to the abutment of the game ball, the vibration sandwiches or intrudes between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the cutouts 821g and 822g of the guide passages 821c and 822c. Dust, dust, and the like that have accumulated can be removed, and the movable pieces 825 and 826a can satisfactorily rotate due to their own weight and the like.

Further, the ball guiding unit 820 is configured to detect the game balls circulating in the respective guiding passages 821c and 822c by the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826, respectively, and the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member front 825. Since each of the detection pieces 825f and 826f of the piece member 826 is detected by the single out-of-ball detection sensor 827, when there is no game ball in any of the guide passages 821c and 822c, the movable piece member front 825 or The movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member 826 rotate so as to project into the guide passages 821c and 822c, and the detection pieces 825f and 826f on the side where the game ball has disappeared are detected by the out-of-ball detection sensor 827. Therefore, it is possible to detect the running out of the game ball early, so that the game ball can be quickly replenished, and the time when the game is interrupted is shortened as much as possible, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

Further, by screwing and attaching a metal screw as a weight to the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826, the weights of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 and the weight are determined. The lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily rotated in the directions projecting into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached outside the guide passages 821c and 822c so that the lower ends thereof project into the guide passages 821c and 822c, the dust inside the guide passages 821c and 822c is reduced. No dust or the like adheres to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a, 826a rotate toward the walls of the guide passages 821c, 822c, dust, dust, and the like do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a, 826a, and the walls, so that their own weight, etc. With this, it is possible to satisfactorily rotate, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem such that the movable pieces 825a and 826a do not rotate.

As described above, the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment has the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece 825a, 826a of the movable piece member 826 whose lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c, 822c through which the game balls flow due to its own weight. By attaching a weight made of a metal screw to the weight attaching portions 825e, 826e on the side opposite to the surface contacting the game ball, the movable piece 825a, by the weight of the weight and the weight of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826, The lower end side of 826a can be easily rotated (projected) into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passage 822c so that the lower ends thereof project into the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust and dirt inside the guide passages 821c and 822c are provided. Does not adhere to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a, 826a rotate toward the walls of the guide passages 821c, 822c, dust, dust, and the like do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a, 826a, and the walls, so that their own weight, etc. This allows the movable pieces 825a and 826 (the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826) to rotate satisfactorily and prevent the occurrence of a defect such that the movable pieces 825a and 826 (the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826) do not rotate.

Further, since the metal screw as the weight is screwed into the weight attaching portions 825e and 826e formed as the through holes to attach the weight, even if the front movable piece member 825 and the movable piece member 826 are frequently rotated, the weight is movable. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 (weight attachment portions 825e, 826e) do not come off and the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 can be maintained in a good state for a long period of time. Further, since the weight can be easily attached to the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 only by screwing a metal screw into the weight attachment parts 825e and 826e, the labor of attaching the weight can be simplified. Therefore, the cost for assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

Furthermore, in the guide passage 821c, 822c, since the movable piece 825a, 825c is provided with an introduction portion 822d for guiding the game ball toward the movable piece 825a, 825c on the upstream side of the site where the movable piece 825a, 825c protrudes inward, Since the game sphere flows in the passages 821c and 822c, the game sphere comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a, so that the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be vibrated by the contact of the game spheres. Therefore, vibrations of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can remove dust, dust, and the like that are sandwiched between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c, and can be moved by their own weight. It is possible to favorably rotate the front piece member 825 and the movable piece member 826.

Therefore, since the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 can be rotated favorably, the state (presence or absence) of the game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected, and the game ball is erroneous. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects due to detection and the like. In addition, even if the gaming balls supplied to the payout device 830 disappear from the guide passages 821c and 822c, the presence or absence of the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected through the movable pieces 825a and 826a, so that it is possible to quickly The game balls can be replenished to the player, and the time during which the game is interrupted can be shortened as much as possible, so that the interest of the player can be prevented from decreasing.

It is offset at an angle of 60 degrees in the direction and extends outward. In the payout blade 839 of the present embodiment, the three front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) are connected by an arc depressed toward the center side, and the diameter of the arc is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. Thereby, between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), a ball storage portion 839e capable of storing only one game ball is formed.

Further, the three front blades 839b and the rear blade 839c are formed such that their outer diameters D1 around the axis of the base tubular portion 839a are 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. Further, the diameter D2 about the axis of the base tubular portion 839a up to the portion closest to the axis of the base tubular portion 839a in the arcuate portion (sphere housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c). Is formed to be about 0.3 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball (see FIG. 72). That is, the depth [(diameter D1−diameter D2)/2] from the outer circumferences of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c to the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e is 0.1 to 0. It is quadrupled.

Therefore, about 3/10 (between 1/4 and 1/3) of the outer circumference of the game ball can be held by the arc-shaped portion (ball housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c). it can. In other words, a depth of about 1/5 (1/7 to 1/4) of the outer diameter of the game ball can be accommodated. As a result, the game balls in the payout passages 831d and 832d can be quickly stored between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) (ball storage portion 839e).

It is a front view shown. 94A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line GG in FIG. 93, and FIG. 94B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line HH in FIG. 93.

As shown in FIG. 81 and the like, in the game board 5 of the present embodiment, in a normal state, the surface of the first moving image display body 3301 of the back center effect unit 3300 which is arranged rearward through the frame of the center accessory 2500. (The display screen of the central display device 1600) can be favorably viewed from the player side. That is, the effect image projected and displayed on the first moving image display body 3301 can be favorably viewed. Further, in a normal state, the back front decorative body 3510 of the back front effect unit 3500 is raised, and the back upper left decorative body 3410 of the back upper left effect unit 3400 is located behind it. Therefore, in a normal state, the second moving image display body 3302 of the back center rendering unit 3300, the back upper left decoration 3410 of the back upper left rendering unit 3400, and the back decoration 3601 of the back rendering unit 3600 are seen from the player side. It is invisible.

On the game board 5, in the normal state in which the first moving image display body 3301 is positioned within the front frame of the center accessory 2500, a production moving image is projected and displayed from the projection device 3203 of the moving image projection unit 3200. As the effect animation displayed on the first moving image display body 3301, the first special lottery result, the second special lottery result, and the like, which are drawn by receiving the game balls into the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, and the like. The effect animation including the variation animation of the decorative symbol as the special symbol corresponding symbol for showing the player and the reach effect animation is displayed. As a result, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 located in the frame of the center accessory 2500 for the player correspond to the display screen of the main liquid crystal display device in the conventional pachinko machine. It is possible to let people naturally recognize what they are doing. Actually, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 display the same effect animation as the effect animation displayed on the main liquid crystal display device in the conventional pachinko machine.

This game board 5 is projected from a normal state in accordance with the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery, in which the game balls are accepted by the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004, according to the result of the moving image projection. A movable effect including various display effects can be performed using the unit 3200, the back center effect unit 3300, the back upper left effect unit 3400, and the back front effect unit 3500.

Specifically, for example, a state in which a predetermined effect image is projected from the moving image projection unit 3200 onto the first moving image display body 3301 of the back central effect unit 3300 and the effect image is displayed by the first moving image display body 3301. Then, the back front drive motor 3522 of the back front effect unit 3500 is driven to move the back front decoration 3510 downward from the position of the rising end. Substantially at the same time as the start of the downward movement of the back front decoration 3510, the back center drive motor 3322 of the back center effect unit 3300 is driven to replace the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302. .. It is desirable that the replacement of the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 be performed faster than the back front decoration 3510 reaches the lower end.

Also, when replacing the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 in the back central effect unit 3300, the back upper left drive motor 3422 of the back upper left effect unit 3400 is driven to drive the rear upper left decoration 3410. The back upper left decoration 3410 is rotated with the feeling that the lower end on the tip side pushes the upper side of the first moving image display 3301 downward. Then, the back upper left decoration 3400 is located at the appearance position almost at the same time as or slightly later than the arrival of the back front decoration 3510 at the descending end, and the tip of the back upper decoration 3400 is placed at the second moving image display body. A state in which it is made to project from the rear of 3302 to the front through the notch 3302a.

By making the above movement, the display screen, which was originally a flat plate, was illusion of the player as if it had been cut and pierced by the sword that was carved by the upper left decorative body 3410. Can be made In other words, it is possible to present to the player an effect in which the display screen itself of the liquid crystal display device, which is not possible with a conventional pachinko machine, is physically dissected, and it is possible to give a strong impact to the player. ..

In this movable effect, when the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced, the back front decoration 3510 is moved (lowered) so as to block the front of these, so the back front decoration The movement of the body 3510 can hide the replacement of the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302, and the first moving image display body 3301 is replaced by the second moving image display body 3302 for the player. Can be hard to notice. As a result, the impact on the physical shape change of the display screen on which the effect image is projected and displayed can be further increased, and the player can be greatly surprised and entertained.

Further, during the above-described movable effect, by projecting an effect image in which a character or the like is cut off on the second moving image display body 3302, the character or the like displayed on the display screen is displayed in the upper left corner of the back of a sword. The effect that is physically cut by the ornamental body 3410 can be shown to the player, and an extremely strong impact can be given to the player. At this time, since the back upper left decorative body 3410 is rotated upward and inserted into the notch 3302a of the second moving image display body 3302, a part of the back upper left decorative body 3410 is part of the second moving image display body 3302. It is not located behind the portion excluding the cutout portion 3302a, and the shadow of the back decorative body 3410 due to the light projected from the moving image projection unit 3200 is not reflected on the second moving image display member 3302. Therefore, it is possible to project and display the effect image on the second moving image display body 3302 in a good state.

Further, at this time, it is desirable that light is not projected from the projection device 3203 of the moving image projection unit 3200 to the portion of the cutout portion 3302a of the second moving image display body 3302. This can prevent the back upper left decorative body 3410 inserted in the cutout portion 3302a from being backlit by the projected light from the player side and becoming difficult to see.

There are various types of effect images (effect videos) to be displayed when the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced, for example, a decorative design as a special design corresponding design. It is configured such that the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced by the replacement device 3310 in a state where the moving image and the reach effect moving image are projected from the projection device 3203. As a result, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced with each other in a manner that the display effect such as the variation moving image of the decorative pattern or the reach effect moving image is not interrupted, and the player visually recognizes these display effects. It becomes possible to prevent the situation where it becomes impossible.

However, in the case where the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 can be replaced in such a manner that the display effect such as the variation moving image of the decorative pattern or the reach effect moving image is not interrupted, in this example, from the rear to the front (game). Since a projection moving image is projected from the projection device 3203 toward the player side), when the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced, the light from the projection device 3203 is emitted by the player. May reach you.

Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 is configured such that the light from the projection device 3203 from the rear to the front (player side) does not reach the player. As a specific example of such an aspect, the replacement of the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 does not cause a gap between the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302. (So that the light from the projection device 3203 does not leak from the gap between the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 to reach the player in front of the gaming machine), the first moving image Even if a slight gap is generated between the display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced so that light is hard to reach the player through the gap. There is a mode in which is performed instantly. This makes it possible to suppress light leakage from the projection device 3203 to the front (player side).

In addition, the light from the projection device 3203 may reach the player through the cutout portion 3302a after the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced by the replacement device 3310. Therefore, it is preferable that the light from the projection device 3203 can be blocked by the rear upper left decoration 3410 so that the light from the projection device 3203 does not reach the front (player side) as much as possible through the cutout portion 3302a. This makes it possible to suppress the amount of light from the projection device 3203 that reaches the player through the cutout portion 3302a. Further, when the first moving image display body 3301 is replaced with the second moving image display body 3302, a shielding member for shielding the display of the effect moving image on the surface corresponding to the cutout portion 3302a is provided on the front surface of the lens of the projection device 3203. It may be configured to advance. As a result, when the first moving image display body 3301 is replaced with the second moving image display body 3302, the effect moving image is not displayed in the cutout portion 3302a while maintaining the display of the effect moving image on the second moving image display body 3302. It becomes possible to do.

It is extracted from the display control ROM and output to VDP. As described above, the display control MPU extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data from the display control ROM one by one from the top screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP.

When the screen data output from the display control MPU is input, the VDP extracts sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data and displays the sprite data on the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244. Drawing data is generated, and the generated drawing data is output to the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244. Further, when the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 does not accept the screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs a running signal to that effect to the display control MPU. A line buffer system is adopted for VDP. The "line buffer method" means that the drawing data for one line for drawing the horizontal direction of the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing for one line held in this line buffer is held. This is a method of outputting data to the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244.

The image ROM stores an extremely large amount of sprite data and has a large capacity. As the capacity of the image ROM increases, that is, as the number of sprites drawn on the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 increases, the access speed of the image ROM cannot be ignored and the central display device 1600 and the upper liquid crystal display device display. This will affect the speed with which the device 244 is drawn. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the image ROM is transferred and copied to the image RAM having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the image RAM. The sprite data is basic data that is data before expanding the sprite into a bitmap format, and is stored in the image ROM in a compressed state.

Here, the "sprite" will be described. The "sprite" is an image displayed as a unit on the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244. For example, when various characters (characters) are displayed on the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, the data for drawing each person is called “sprite”. Accordingly, when displaying a plurality of persons on the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to the person, the houses, mountains, roads, etc. that make up the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are set at a position arranged on the screen or in a vertical relationship when the sprites overlap with each other (hereinafter, referred to as "order of sprite superposition"), and the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device is set. 244.

It should be noted that the sprite is configured by laminating a plurality of rectangular areas each having 64 pixels vertically and horizontally. The data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "sprite character". In the case of a small sprite, one sprite character can be used for expression, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, a total of 6 sprite characters arranged horizontally 2 x vertically 3 are used. Can be expressed. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, a larger number of sprite characters can be used for expression. In this way, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

The central display device 1600 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 have main scanning that sets the display state of each pixel in one direction along the pixel sequentially from the left to right when viewed from the front, and crosses the main scanning. It is driven by sub-scanning in which main scanning is repeatedly performed in the direction. When the drawing data for one line output from the effect display control unit 1512 is input to the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, the front surface of the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is subjected to main scanning. When viewed from the left, the pixels are sequentially output from left to right to pixels for one line. Then, when the output for one line is completed, the central display device 1600 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 shift to the line immediately below as a sub-scan, and similarly when the drawing data for the next line is input, the next line is displayed. Based on the drawing data of the minute, the pixels are sequentially output to pixels of one line as main scanning from left to right when viewed from the front of the central display device 1600 or the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244.

[7. Game contents]
Next, the content of the game by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 81 and 95. FIG. 95 is a block diagram schematically showing the control configuration of the pachinko machine. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player rotates the handle lever 504 of the handle unit 500 arranged at the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3, whereby the game balls stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200. However, it is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in the game board 5, and the game with the game ball is started. The game ball hit to the upper part in the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the hitting strength. Note that the driving strength of the game ball can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle lever 504, and can be driven more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls per minute in a row, That is, it is possible to hit a game ball at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 (panel board 1110) in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game balls serve as obstacle nails. By abutting, the flow speed of the game ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movement can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a wind turbine (not shown) that is rotated by the contact of the game ball is provided at an appropriate position.

It is supplied to the stage portion 2530 from a warp outlet 2522 opening in the frame of 2500.

The game ball supplied from the warp exit 2522 to the stage portion 2530 is first supplied to the first stage 2531 and rolls on the first stage 2531 to move back and forth to the left and right center first. It is emitted rearward from either the central guiding portion or the first side guiding portions on the left and right sides thereof. When the game ball is released rearward from the first central guiding portion of the first stage 2531, it passes through the central hole at the center of the second stage 2532 in the left-right direction and falls onto the third central guiding portion of the third stage 2533. It is released from the third central guiding portion into the game area 5a. Since the third central guiding portion of the third stage 2533 is located immediately above the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100, the game ball released from the third guiding portion has a high probability of being the first. It is received in the starting port 2002. When the game balls are received in the first starting opening 2002, a predetermined number (for example, 3) of game balls are paid out from the payout device 830 to the upper plate 201 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. ..

When the game ball rolling on the first stage 2531 is discharged rearward from the first side guiding portion while heading to the center in the left-right direction, the momentum toward the center in the left-right direction moves toward the center on the second stage 2532. When it rolls to climb and enters the central hole, it is released from the third guiding portion of the third stage 2533 into the game area 5a. On the other hand, when the game ball rolling on the first stage 2531 is discharged rearward from the first side guide while heading outward in the left-right direction, the momentum toward the outside moves the second stage 2532 out. It rolls toward one side, enters the side holes at the left and right ends, and is supplied onto the highest left and right ends of the third stage 2533. Then, the game ball supplied from the side hole of the second stage 2532 to the third stage 2533 rolls left and right on the third stage 2533, and is played from either the third central guiding portion or the third side guiding portion. It is released into the region 5a.

The game ball released from the stage portion 2530 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be received in the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100, the general winning opening 2001 of the lower side unit 2200, or the like. .. When the game balls are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. ..

By the way, when the game ball flowing down to the left of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2520, the shelf 2303a of the upper side unit 2300, the shelf portions 2202a, 2203a of the lower side unit 2200, and the like are horizontally centered. There is a possibility that it will be moved to the side and received in the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, or the like.

On the other hand, in the game area 5a, the game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the right side of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center character 2500 that is the highest. ), and is discharged immediately above the gate portion 2003. As a result, the game ball that has been hit (right hit) so as to flow down the right side of the center accessory 2500 passes through the gate portion 2003 with a high probability. Then, the game ball that has passed through the gate portion 2003 passes to the right of the general winning opening 2001 and the second starting opening 2004 of the center accessory 2500, and further passes through the front of the big winning opening 2005 to the upper right rail 1004. It flows down, is guided by the lower right rail 1004, and is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a from the outlet 1111.

Therefore, if the player hits the ball right while the special winning opening 2005 is open, there is a high probability that the special winning opening 2005 will be accepted. When the game ball flows down on the left side of the gate portion 2003, there is a possibility that it will be accepted into the general winning opening 2001 of the center accessory 2500.

When a game ball passes through the gate portion 2003 and is detected by the gate sensor 2515, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310. If the result of the ordinary lottery is “normal win”, the start door member 2516 is For a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), the second start port 2004 is opened by rotating clockwise in a front view. In the state where the starting opening door member 2516 is rotated to open the second starting opening 2004, the tip thereof is located on the right side of the gate portion 2003, so that the game ball is at the gate portion at this time. When passing through 2003, it comes into contact with the upper surface of the starting opening door member 2516, and the game ball is guided to the left by the starting opening door member 2516, and is received in the second starting opening 2004 with an extremely high probability. When the game balls are received in the second starting opening 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out from the payout device 830 to the upper plate 201 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951.

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game balls passing through the gate unit 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery to the suggestion of the ordinary lottery result (for example, 0. 01 to 60 seconds, also referred to as a normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of this ordinary lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. At the second starting port 2004, the starting port door member 2516 is rotated to be in the open state after the lapse of the normal fluctuation time.

Further, if the game ball passes through the gate section 2003 after the game ball passes through the gate section 2003 and the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of suggesting the result is held until the suggestion of the result of the ordinary drawing is completed. Further, the maximum number of holding of the ordinary lottery result is up to four, and if the number is more than that, even if the game ball passes through the gate portion 2003, it is discarded without being held. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the gaming hall side due to the accumulation of reservations.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a game ball is received in the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004, an advantageous game state that is advantageous to the player on the main control board 1310 (for example, "big hit", " A lottery of the special lottery results for generating "middle hit", "small hit", "probability change hit", "time reduction hit", etc.) is performed. Then, the result of the selected special lottery is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as special variation time). The special lottery results that are drawn by accepting game balls in the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004 include "miss", "small hit", "2R big hit", "15R big hit", " Probability change (probability change)”, “time reduction (time reduction)”, “probability change time reduction”, “probability change time reduction non-effective”, etc.

In the case where the special lottery results (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by receiving the game balls into the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 are the special lottery results that cause the advantageous gaming state. After the special fluctuation time has passed, the special winning opening door member 2403 of the attacker unit 2400 opens and closes in an opening/closing pattern according to the special lottery result selected by lottery so that the special winning opening 2005 can receive the game ball. become. When the game ball is received in the special winning opening 2005 when the special winning opening 2005 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of games are played from the payout device 830 by the main control board 1310 and the payout board. The balls are dispensed on the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the special winning opening door member 2403 is opening and closing in a predetermined pattern, by accepting the game balls into the special winning opening 2005, a large amount of game balls can be paid out, and the player can be entertained. it can.

When the special lottery result is “small hit”, the opening/closing pattern in which the special winning opening door member 2403 is opened and closed for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). Repeat multiple times (eg, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit”, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) has elapsed after the special winning opening door member 2403 is in the open state, or a predetermined number of the special winning opening 2005 (for example, When any of the conditions of accepting 10 game balls is satisfied, an opening/closing pattern (one opening/closing pattern is referred to as one round) that closes the special winning opening door member 2403 is performed a predetermined number of times (predetermined). Number of rounds) Repeat. For example, the "2R jackpot" is repeated for 2 rounds, and the "15R jackpot" is repeated for 15 rounds to generate an advantageous game state advantageous to the player.

In the case of "big hit", the probability that special lottery results such as "big hit" will be drawn after the big hit game is changed ("probability change"), or the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result is changed. (“Short-time winning”) There is a “hit”.

In the present embodiment, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 are received from the start of the special drawing until the result of the special drawing is suggested. (2) When the game ball is accepted in the starting port 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started, and therefore, the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. It The number of reserved special lottery results to be reserved is limited to four with respect to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, respectively. For more than that, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening are provided. Even if the game ball is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is discarded without being held. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the gaming hall side due to the accumulation of reservations.

The suggestion of the special lottery result is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the central display device 1600 (the moving image projection unit 3200 and the back central rendering unit 3300). In the function display unit 1400, it is directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest the special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result on the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by a combination of the LEDs that are turned on after blinking a plurality of LEDs by repeatedly turning on and off.

On the other hand, in the central display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, it is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 to suggest the special lottery result as an effect image. The effect image that suggests the special lottery result on the central display device 1600 is a state in which three or more symbol rows each consisting of a symbol are displayed side by side in the left-right direction, and each symbol row is changed, so that the symbol rows are variably displayed. Are sequentially stopped and displayed, and the respective symbols are stopped and displayed so that the symbols in the three symbols that are stopped and displayed are a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. If the special lottery result is other than "miss", after three symbols are stopped and each symbol is stopped and displayed, a finalized image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the central display device 1600, and the lottery is performed. An advantageous game state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) according to the special lottery result occurs.

In addition, the time (LED blinking time (fluctuation time)) that suggests the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 and the time that suggests the special lottery result in the central display device 1600 (the symbol string fluctuates and the confirmed image is (Time until display) is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a shorter time.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the result of the special lottery by the central display device 1600, the back front lower effect unit 3100 and the moving image projection unit 3200 are displayed according to the special lottery result selected by the lottery. , The back central production unit 3300, the back upper left production unit 3400, the back front production unit 3500, the back production unit 3600, etc. can be appropriately used to perform light emission production, movable production, display production, and the like. The effect can also entertain the player, and can prevent the player's interest in the game from decreasing.

[8. Relationship between the present embodiment and the present invention]
The inside of the frame of the center accessory 2500 in the front unit 2000 of the present embodiment is the visible area of the present invention, the moving image projection unit 3200 of the back unit 3000 of the present embodiment is the moving image projection device of the present invention, and the back of the present embodiment. The first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 of the central effect unit 3300 are the moving image display objects of the present invention, and the replacement device 3310 of the back central effect unit 3300 in the present embodiment is the replacement means of the present invention. Each is equivalent.

[9. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the normal state, the first moving image display body 3301 located in the frame (in the visible area) of the center accessory 2500 in the front-view game area 5a. The production animation is displayed, and the first animation display body 3301 in the frame of the center accessory 2500 is displayed as the second animation outside the frame in accordance with the game state changed by the game ball hit in the game area 5a. The effect moving image is displayed on the second moving image display body 3302 which is replaced with the body 3302 and is replaced and positioned in the frame. Therefore, in the normal game state, by displaying the effect moving image on the flat-plate-shaped first moving image display body 3301 having one surface, the first moving image display body 3301 is equivalent to the main liquid crystal display device in the conventional pachinko machine. It can be naturally recognized as a product, and the game can be played in the same atmosphere as a conventional pachinko machine without a feeling of strangeness. Then, in accordance with the game state, the first moving image display body 3301 is replaced with the second moving image display body 3302 having the cutout portion 3302a to display the effect moving image. For example, as the effect animation, while displaying a character with a sword on the first moving image display body 3301 in the middle of the variable display of the special symbol, the character moves the first moving image display body 3301 to cut the sword. By switching to the second moving image display body 3302 at the same time as the cutting display, the cutout portion 3302a of the second moving image display body 3302 seems to have physically cut the first moving image display body 3301 by the sword that the character has. It is possible to make the player illusion that the series of movements of the character and the like are continuously shown to the player. Therefore, it is possible to present the player with an effect as if the main liquid crystal display device itself was notched (physically changed), which is not possible with a conventional pachinko machine, and has a strong impact on the player. It is possible to increase the expectation for the game by making the player think that something is good, and at least one of the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302. It is possible to entertain a variety of effects by substituting for, and it is possible to prevent the player from having less interest in the game.

Further, since the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are made to have translucency, when light is projected onto the first moving image display body 3301 or the like, the first moving image display body is caused by the light. Since 3301 etc. can be made to shine, the 1st animation display body 3301 etc. can be made conspicuous by attracting the player's interest to the 1st animation display body 3301 etc. You can surely show the entertaining video and entertain.

Furthermore, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 have non-self-display property that cannot display an image by themselves, and the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 have Since it is not necessary to have a configuration such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel for displaying a production movie, there is no restriction on the shapes and forms of the first movie display body 3301 and the second movie display body 3302 due to these configurations. The first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 having more free shapes and forms can be provided, and the pachinko machine 1 having a high appealing power capable of a display effect that has never been achieved can be obtained.

Further, since the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are non-self-displaying, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are within the frame of the center role object 2500 (moving image projection). By arranging in front of the front end opening 3208 of the dark box 3205 in the unit 3200, it is possible to display the effect movie on the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 using one projection device 3203. The projection device 3203 does not have to be provided for control, and the load on the peripheral control board 1510 related to display effects can be reduced.

Further, since the effect moving image is displayed on the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 using the moving image projection unit 3200, the effect moving image is displayed using the liquid crystal display device, the organic EL display device, or the like. Compared with the case of performing, the display surface on which the effect moving image is displayed is not limited to one flat surface, one curved surface, or the like, and the effect moving image can be displayed on the display surface of various shapes and forms. Therefore, since the shapes and forms of the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 as the display surface can be various, the conventional pachinko machine using the liquid crystal display device or the like is not successful. A play animation can be displayed on the display surface such as a shape that could not be done, which can have a strong impact on the player and can be a pachinko machine 1 with high appeal. It is possible to make it easier for a person to select the pachinko machine 1.

Furthermore, since the effect moving image is projected from the rear side to the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 to display the effect moving image, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body It is not necessary to arrange a mechanism for projecting a moving image in front of 3302, and the front of the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302, that is, the game area 5a can be used relatively widely. Therefore, the configuration of the pachinko machine 1 that can entertain the player can be easily constructed.

In addition, an effect video is projected from the rear to the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302, and for example, a variation moving image of a decorative symbol as a special symbol corresponding symbol, a reach effect moving image, etc. are projected. In this state, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced. As a result, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced with each other in a manner that the display effect such as the variation moving image of the decorative pattern or the reach effect moving image is not interrupted, and the player visually recognizes these display effects. It becomes possible to prevent the situation where it becomes impossible.

Further, when the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are replaced, light leakage from the projection device 3203 from the rear side to the front side (player side) is suppressed. ing. As a specific configuration, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 are constantly replaced with each other, or the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302 move in a flush state. This corresponds to a mode in which they are replaced in a certain way. Further, even if a slight gap is generated between the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302, the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display are made so that light is hard to reach the player through the gap. The replacement with the body 3302 may be performed instantaneously. This makes it possible to prevent the light from the projection device 3203 from reaching the player and causing the player to hurt his eyes or make the player feel uncomfortable. In addition, when the change of clothes from the first moving image display body 3301 to the second moving image display body 3302 is instantaneously performed, a strong impact can be given to the player, and the pachinko machine 1 that surely exhibits the above-described operational effects is provided. You can

In addition, an effect video is projected and displayed from the rear on the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302, and is transmitted to the player through the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3302. Since the effect moving image is shown by the transmitted light, as compared with the case where the effect moving image is shown by the reflected light by projecting from the front side, another light is emitted from the player side to the first moving image display body 3301 and the second moving image display body 3301. Even if it hits the moving image display body 3302, it is possible to entertain the player by displaying an easy-to-see effect video, and the installation conditions such as the brightness in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be installed in various game halls without any problem.
