The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and provides a ROM 101 (ReadOnlyMemory 101) that stores a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a game control work area. RAM 102 (RandomAccessMemory 102), CPU 103 (CentralProcessingUnit 103) that executes a program for game control and performs control operation, a random number circuit 104 that updates numerical data indicating a random number value independently of CPU 103, and I/O 105 (Input/Outputport 105), and is configured. As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101 to execute processing for controlling the progress of a game in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board that is independent of the main board 11, and receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 to display an effect. Various circuits for controlling the production operation by the production electric parts such as the devices 5A, 5X, 5Y, the speakers 8L, 8R and the production LED 9 are mounted.

On the effect control board 12, an effect control CPU 120 that performs a control operation according to a program, a ROM 121 that stores an effect control program, fixed data, and the like, a RAM 122 that provides a work area of the effect control CPU 120, and an effect display device. A display control unit 123 that executes a process for determining the control content of the display operation in 5A, 5X, and 5Y, and a random number circuit 124 that updates numerical data indicating a random value independently of the effect control CPU 120. , I/O 125 are mounted.

In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the effect display device 5A and the effect symbol display areas of the effect display devices 5X, 5Y, the variable display of effect symbols is started corresponding to the start of the special figure game. ..

Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the normal symbol display 20 starts the general figure game based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 provided in the game area 10. After starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, the predetermined time, which is the universal symbol fluctuation time, elapses, and if the regular symbols other than the regular symbol are stopped and displayed, the variation display result of the ordinary symbol is "out of regular symbol". Become. If a specific normal symbol (normal symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "ordinary symbol", and the opening control for retracting the movable plate of the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B from the game area 10 is performed. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the normal opening control is performed to return to the closed position protruding into the game area 10.

Based on that the first start condition is satisfied, for example, after the first start condition is satisfied due to the game ball winning the first start winning opening or the like, and for example, the previous special figure game or the jackpot game state is ended. The special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. In addition, after the second starting condition is established by the game ball winning the second starting winning opening, the second starting condition is established by, for example, ending the previous special drawing game or the jackpot gaming state. Based on this, the special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

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

In the big hit game state, the special winning opening device 7 has a special winning opening door for a predetermined period of time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls. The special winning opening is opened in the period until the occurrence of. As a result, a round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is brought into the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is executed.

The special winning a prize sphere device, by receiving the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then closing the big winning a prize, the big prize award door which opened the big prize award during the execution of the round. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state), which is disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”).

In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the effect display device 5A, the variable display of effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special figure game. Then, in the period from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol to the end of the variable display, the variable display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state. With the reach state, when the effect symbols stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5A or the effect display devices 5X and 5Y form part of the jackpot combination, the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed are It is a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or some of the effect symbols are changing in synchronization while forming all or part of the big hit combination.

As a confirmed special symbol in the special drawing game, a fixed production symbol which is a predetermined normal jackpot combination (also called “non-probable variation jackpot combination”) among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations is stopped and displayed, and the variable display result is “non-determined jackpot”. When it is ", it is controlled to a big hit state, and after that, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the variable display time (special figure variation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time saving control, the winning frequency of the ordinary symbol is increased, and the winning frequency of the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B is increased, that is, so-called electric chow support is implemented. In the time saving control, one of a condition that a special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the jackpot gaming state is ended and that the variable display result is “big hit” is established first. Sometimes you just need to quit.

As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations, a fixed production symbol that is a predetermined probability variation jackpot combination (also called "probability variation jackpot combination") is stopped and displayed, and the variable display result is "probability variation jackpot". When it becomes, the big hit state is controlled, and after that, stochastic variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with time saving control. By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the variable display result is “big hit” in each special drawing game is improved to be higher than in the normal state. Probability change control, when the condition that the variable display result becomes "big hit" and is controlled to the big hit game state again after the big hit game state ends, a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times the same as the number of time saving and shortening) after the big hit game state ends. When the special figure game of (2 times) is executed, it is determined that “there is a certain probability variation fall” that ends the certainty variation control in the probability variation fall lottery that is executed each time the special figure game is started after the end of the big hit game state. When, etc. may be finished.

When the time saving control is performed, the control for shortening the variation time of the ordinary symbol in the universal figure game (general figure variation time) than in the normal state, and the variation display result of the regular symbol in each regular figure game are The control for improving the probability of "hit" compared to the normal state, the movement control time for performing the movement control of the movable plate in the normal variable winning ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "universal figure hit" is usually There is a possibility that the game ball easily passes through (enters) the second start winning opening, such as control to make it longer than in the normal state and control to increase the number of times it moves, so that the second start condition is satisfied. The control that is advantageous to the player by increasing the value (power control support, high opening control) is performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently, and the variable display result is “big hit” next. It takes less time.

Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing which is game control main processing. When the game control timer interrupt process is started in the game control main process, switch process, main side error process, information output process, game random number update process, special symbol process process, normal symbol process process, command control process are executed.

In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display device 4A or the Various kinds of processing are selected and executed in order to perform the control of the display operation on the 2 special symbol display device 4B and the opening/closing operation setting of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure.

In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not there is a first start prize or a second start prize. If there is a prize, the special pattern display result determination, the big hit type determination, and the variation pattern A random number value for determination or the like is extracted, and a start winning process is executed to store (store) the highest random number entry in the first special figure reservation storage unit or the second special figure reservation storage unit.

Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to start the special figure game based on the presence or absence of the pending data stored in the first special figure pending storage unit or the second special figure pending storage unit, and the special figure display result. Based on the numerical data showing the random number value for judgment, whether or not the variable display result of special symbols and effect symbols is "big hit" is decided (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Execute symbol normal processing. That is, when starting the variable display of the special figure game, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot display result should be derived and displayed as the display result of the variable display based on the random number value stored when the start winning occurs. The process of making a decision (lottery) is executed.

Next, a variation pattern setting process for determining the variation pattern to one of a plurality of types, a setting for changing the special symbol or a special symbol variation process for measuring the elapsed time from when the special symbol starts varying, The special symbol stop process is performed to stop the fluctuation of the special symbol and display the fixed special symbol for stop display (deriving). When the variation display result is "big hit", big hit opening pre-processing, big hit opening processing, big hit opening post processing, and big hit ending processing are performed to open and close the big winning opening in the big hit game state.

Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process. When a timer interrupt occurs in the main processing, command analysis processing, effect control process processing, and effect random number updating processing are executed.

To execute. Then, depending on the value of the effect control process flag, a variation pattern designation command reception waiting process for confirming whether or not a variation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100, so that the variation of the effect design is started. Control the production symbol variation start process, control the switching timing of each variation state (fluctuation speed) that constitutes the variation pattern according to the process data set in the production symbol variation start process, and monitor the end of the variation time , Display and operation control of the effect display devices 5A, 5X, 5Y, sound output from the speakers 8L, 8R, light emission of the effect LED 9 and various drive control, etc., effect symbol changing process, effect symbol stop and display. Performs effect symbol variation stop processing for performing control to derive and display the result (stop symbol).

In the big hit display process, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the occurrence of the big hit on the effect display devices 5A, 5X, 5Y after the end of the variable time. In the big hit game processing, control during the big hit game is performed. In the big hit end effect processing, display control is performed in the effect display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y to notify the player that the big hit game state has ended.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 can execute various effects related to the game such as effect symbol variable display control and notice effect based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. Has been done.

As shown in FIG. 3, the window unit 51A is attached to the rear side of the opening/closing frame 50 at the open position for opening the gaming machine frame 3 so as to close the opening (not shown) of the opening/closing frame 50. ..

The window unit 51A is attachable to and detachable from the opening/closing frame 50, and can be replaced according to a model change or the like. Specifically, with the locking pin protruding on the back surface of the opening/closing frame 50 inserted into the locking hole formed in the frame body 262, the locking hook provided in the frame body 262 serves as the locking pin. It is attached by locking.

When the opening/closing frame 50 is rotated from the open position to the closed position to close the front surface of the gaming machine frame 3 with the window unit 51A attached to the back surface of the opening/closing frame 50, as shown in FIG. A plate 261 is arranged in front of the board surface plate 200 of the game board 2 substantially in parallel with the board surface plate 200 with a predetermined gap, and a game ball can flow down between the board surface plate 200 and the rear transmission plate 261. A game area 10 is formed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the rear transmission plate 261 is the entire game area 10 surrounded by the guide rails 2b on the game board surface 200A of the board 200 when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front (player side). The hole portion 270 is arranged at a position corresponding to the opening 2c formed in the board 200, while being arranged so as to cover the front surface of the board.

In the present embodiment, the game area 10 is an area where the game balls can flow down, that is, an area in the game board surface 200A of the board 200 excluding the opening 2c and an opening 2c in the area surrounded by the guide rails 2b. Corresponding to, ie, an area in which the effect display devices 5A, 5X, 5Y and various movable bodies described later are provided so that they can be visually recognized by the player (areas indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 8). Further, the center decoration frame 52 is provided in the opening 2c, so that the game ball is prevented from flowing into the opening 2c.

Further, in the present embodiment, the hole portion 270 has a shape different from that of the opening 2c formed in the face plate 200 and a small size, and is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 2c. Is not limited to this, and may be formed substantially in the same shape as the hole portion 270, or a part thereof may be located outside the opening 2c.

Therefore, the gaming area 10 configured in this way is seen through from the player side in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 through the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 forming the window 51. This is possible (see the window portion 51 shown by the meshed area in FIG. 4A). As shown in FIG. 9, the rear transmission plate 261 and the game board surface 200A are installed in an upright state so as to be parallel to each other, whereas the front transmission plate 251 is gradually inclined from the upper side to the lower side toward the rear side. As described above, since the rear transmission plate 261 is arranged in a tilted posture inclining to the rear transmission plate 261, the separation distance L2 below the separation distance L1 above the rear transmission plate 261 is shorter than the separation distance L1. ing.

The first transmissive body 250 including the front transmissive plate 251 as the plate-shaped portion and the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253 as the tubular portion is the rear transmissive body forming the second transmissive body 260. It is formed in a convex shape projecting forward with respect to the plate 261, and in the state where the window unit 51A is attached to the opening/closing frame 50, a tubular portion formed of the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253, It is provided so as to be inserted into the opening of the opening/closing frame 50 from the back side and project forward.

Therefore, the rear transmission plate 261 forming the game area 10 together with the game board surface 200A is accommodated within the plate thickness dimension of the opening/closing frame 50 in the front-rear direction, while the tubular portion is provided so as to project forward with respect to the front surface of the opening/closing frame 50. Thus, the front transmission plate 251 can be arranged as far away as possible from the rear transmission plate 261 without increasing the front-rear dimension of the opening/closing frame 50. Thereby, a wide space S can be formed between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261.

Further, the upper wall portions of the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253 are formed so as to incline downward toward the front, and external light from the front upper side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is directed to the game area 10. Since it is difficult to enter, the front of the upper portion of the game area 10 is hidden by the upper wall portion, but since the player's line of sight is located below the upper wall portion, it is visible when looking up.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, a magnet is pressed against the front transmission plate 251 to cause a magnetic sensor to malfunction, thereby causing an illegal prize to be generated, or a game ball flowing down in the game area 10 to be magnetized. Although a fraudulent act such as illegally guiding may be performed, by increasing the distances L1 and L2 between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 without increasing the thickness of the rear transmission plate 261. Since the front transmission plate 251 can be moved away from the game area 10 as much as possible to reduce the influence of the magnetic force of the magnets, it is possible to preferably suppress fraudulent acts by the magnets. Further, in a gaming machine equipped with a magnet sensor for detecting an illegal magnetism, by increasing the distance between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 in a range that cannot be detected by the magnet sensor, the above-mentioned misconduct can be prevented. It is possible to suppress it suitably, and it is possible to reduce the number of arranged magnet sensors.

At this time, since each movable body is arranged on the peripheral side of the opening 2c of the game board 2, the player (front side) can visually recognize the display screens of the effect display devices 5A, 5X, 5Y ( (See FIG. 13).

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the first operation mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300 is in the first performance position, the second movable body 400 is in the second performance position, and the third movable body 500L, 500R is arranged in the third effect position and fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R are arranged in the fourth standby position. The first movable body 300 is in the first rotation state, and the first projecting portion 303 is in the first position. The projecting state and the second projecting portion 304 are in the second stored state. At this time, the 1st movable body 300, the 2nd movable body 400, the 3rd movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the 1st protrusion part 303 are arrange|positioned at the front side of the effect display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y, and form a predetermined shape. The objects are brought into contact with each other or come close to each other so as to form an object (see FIG. 14). That is, after performing the first control, the effect control CPU 120 can perform control to move the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R so that they can be combined with the first movable body 300.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in the second operation mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300 is the first effect position, the second movable body 400 is the second standby position, the third movable body 500L, 500R is arranged at the third standby position, and fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged at the fourth effect position.

They are brought into contact with each other or come close to each other so that they are combined (see FIG. 15 ). That is, after performing the first control, the effect control CPU 120 can perform control to move the first movable body 300 so that the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R can be combined.

In addition, when the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are combined with the first movable body 300 in the first operation mode, or when the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are the first movable body 300 in the second operation mode. When combined with, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged rearward of the rear transmission plate 261 (FIG. 17). , FIG. 18).

Therefore, when the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are combined, the moving direction of the first movable body 300 in the first control, In other words, since they are located at different positions in the front-rear direction, a sense of depth can be produced.

Next, an example of operation control of the movable body unit by the effect control CPU 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 19. FIG. 19 is a timing chart showing an example of the operation of each movable body and the effect LED in the movable body production.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 16, in the operation standby mode of the movable body unit, in the first movable body 300, a part of the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 is rearward at the first standby position. It is located on the front transmission plate 251 side, that is, on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261 through the hole 270 of the transmission plate 261 (particularly, see the solid lines in FIGS. 13 and 16 ).

In the movable-body effect according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the effect control CPU 120 satisfies the condition for starting the movable-object effect (for example, operating means during execution of the movable effect (for example, effect button or stick controller). Etc.), when the operation of the operating means is detected during the operation acceptance period, when the operation valid period ends and the execution timing of the movable body is reached, etc.), the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, The third movable bodies 500L and 500R are operated. The effect LED 9 emits light in the first light emission mode.

Specifically, the first movable body 300 is moved diagonally downward from the first standby position toward the first effect position by the first drive mechanism 310 (see arrow 1 in FIGS. 13 and 16). As shown by the phantom lines in FIGS. 13 and 16, when the first movable body 300 moves to the first effect position, the predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 is rearward. It is positioned closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261 through the hole 270 of the transmission plate 261, and the main body 302 is disposed to the front side of the first standby position. That is, the effect control CPU 120 causes the predetermined portion (front half) of the main body 302 on the surface A side (front side) of the first movable body 300 in the first standby position via the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261. It is possible to execute the first control of moving the front transmission plate 251 toward the front transmission plate 251 side rather than the rear transmission plate 261. Further, the second movable body 400 moves toward the second effect position, and the third movable objects 500L and 500R move toward the third effect position.

When the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R move to predetermined positions, they are detected by a first effect position sensor, a second effect position sensor, and a third effect position sensor (not shown), Based on the fact that the first effect position sensor, the second effect position sensor, and the third effect position sensor detect each movable body, the effect control CPU 120 causes the first movable body 300 to be in the first rotation state. Then, the rotation shaft 305 is rotated counterclockwise in the right side view (first rotation, see arrow 2 in FIGS. 14 and 17). The effect control CPU 120 stops the first rotation of the first movable body 300 based on the detection of the first movable body 300 by the first rotation position sensor. At this time, the front ends of the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are tilted forward (see arrow 3 in FIGS. 14 and 17), and the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, and the third movable body The movable bodies 500L and 500R are united. Even when rotating, a predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 is positioned closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261 via the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261. doing.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 causes the effect LED 9 to emit light in the second light emission mode, and causes the surface A of the main body 302 to be detected by the third drive mechanism 330 until the first projecting portion 303 is detected by the first projecting position sensor. To the outside, and is in the first protruding state. As described above, when the first movable body 300 is in the first rotation state, since the surface A of the main body 302 faces obliquely forward and upward, the first projecting portion 303 projects obliquely forward and upward. (See arrow 4 in FIGS. 14 and 17). That is, the first protruding portion 303 moves in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the main body 302 (obliquely downward direction). That is, after performing the first control, the effect control CPU 120 causes the first protruding portion 303, which is a part of the predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body portion 302, in the first control. It is possible to execute the second control for moving in the direction (front upper direction) intersecting the movement direction (front lower direction). By executing the first control and the second control, the movable body unit changes to the first operation mode.

As described above, in the first movable body 300, after the main body 302 is moved obliquely forward and downward, the first protrusion 303 is formed in the space S formed between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261. Since it projects obliquely upward and upward, the moving operation of the first projecting portion 303 can be favorably shown without contacting the rear transmission plate 261. Further, even when changing to the first operation mode or the second operation mode, the front transmission plate 251 is not contacted.

In the first operation mode in which the predetermined portion on the front side of the main body 302 is located in the space S on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261, the first protruding portion 303 is changed to the first protruding state, As shown in FIG. 14, when viewed from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the first protruding portion 303 moves so as to spread around the main body portion 302, that is, by protruding, a part of the main body portion 302 is expanded. Then, since the first movable body 300 appears to be enlarged, it is possible to give an impact to the player.

Further, even after the first projecting portion 303 is changed to the first projecting state so as to spread around the main body portion 302, the first projecting portion 303 corresponds to the hole portion 270 when viewed from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the game ball does not stick out toward the game area 10 side, the first projecting portion 303 does not hinder the visibility of the game ball.

In the first operation mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the first projecting portion 303 constitute a structure having a predetermined shape. To do. Specifically, the second movable body 400 is arranged below the first movable body 300 so as to come into contact with or come close to it, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R come into contact with the left and right of the first movable body 300, respectively. Since the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R serve as support means for the first movable body 300 and support each other by being arranged close to each other, the projecting operation of the first projecting portion 303 is performed. Also, the swinging of the first movable body 300 after the projecting operation is suppressed, and the posture can be stabilized.

Further, most of the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L, 500R are arranged closer to the game area 10 (back side) than the rear transmission plate 261 when combined with the first movable body 300. , It is possible to give a sense of depth to the structure configured by being united.

In addition, since the luminance of the second light emission mode of the effect LED 9 is lower than that of the first light emission mode, when the movable body unit is in the first operation mode (during the second control), the light of each of the effect LEDs 9 is changed. It is possible to suppress deterioration of visibility of the movable body.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 moves the first projecting portion 303 until the first storage position sensor detects the first projecting portion 303 based on the state that the movable body unit is in the first operation mode for a predetermined time. The first movable body 400 is moved to the second standby position and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are moved to the third standby position until the second standby position sensor and the third standby position sensor detect the second movable body 400. (See arrow 5 in FIGS. 15 and 18). Next, after the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R reach the position where they do not interfere with the rotating operation of the first movable body 300, the first movable body 300 is rotated so as to be in the second rotating state. The drive shaft 305 is rotated clockwise in the right side view (second rotation, see arrow 6 in FIGS. 15 and 18), and the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in the third light emission mode. The effect control CPU 120 stops the second rotation of the first movable body 300 based on the detection of the first movable body 300 by the second rotation position sensor.

Then, the second projecting portion 304 is projected until it is detected by the second projecting position sensor to be in the second projecting state (see arrow 7 in FIGS. 15 and 18), and the fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R are also constructed as described above. It moves toward the fourth effect position until it is detected by the fourth effect position sensor (see arrow 7 in FIGS. 15 and 18). That is, after performing the first control, the effect control CPU 120 causes the second projecting portion 304, which is a part of the predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body portion 302, to be in the first control. It is possible to execute the second control for moving in the direction (front upper direction) intersecting the movement direction (front lower direction). By executing the first control and the second control, the movable body unit changes to the second operation mode. At this time, the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in the fourth light emission mode.

Further, in the second operation mode in which the predetermined portion on the front side of the main body 302 is located in the space S on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261, the second protruding portion 304 is changed to the second protruding state, As shown in FIG. 15, when viewed from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the second projecting portion 304 moves so as to spread around the main body portion 302, that is, by projecting, a part of the main body portion 302 is expanded. Then, since the first movable body 300 appears to be enlarged, it is possible to give an impact to the player.

Further, even after the second projecting portion 304 is changed to the second projecting state so as to spread around the main body portion 302, the second projecting portion 304 corresponds to the hole portion 270 when viewed from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since it does not protrude outside the region where the game sphere flows, that is, it does not stick out to the flow-down region of the game ball, the first protrusion 303 does not hinder the visual recognition of the game ball.

In the second operation mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, and the second protrusion 304 are combined so as to form a structure having a shape different from that of the first operation mode. To do. More specifically, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged on the left and right sides of the first movable body 300 so that the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R come into contact with or come close to each other, so that the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are supported by the first movable body 300. Therefore, since they support each other, the projecting operation of the second projecting portion 304, the swinging of the first movable body 300 after the projecting operation, and the like are suppressed, and the posture can be stabilized.

Further, most of the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged closer to the game area 10 (rear side) than the rear transmission plate 261 when they are combined with the first movable body 300, and thus are configured to be combined. A sense of depth can be generated in the structure (see FIG. 12).

In addition, since the luminance of the fourth light emission mode of the effect LED 9 is lower than that of the first light emission mode and the third light emission mode, when the movable body unit is in the second operation mode (during the second control), It is possible to prevent the visibility of each movable body from being reduced by the light of the LED 9.

When the production operation by each movable body is completed when the second operation mode of the movable body unit elapses for a predetermined time, the production control CPU 120 moves the second projecting portion 304 until it is detected by the second storage position sensor. To the second stored state, the first movable body 300 is moved to the first standby position, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are moved to the fourth standby position until they are detected by the first standby position sensor and the fourth standby position sensor. Move toward (storing operation). At this time, the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in the fifth light emission mode. When the first movable body 300 moves to the first standby position and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R move to the fourth standby position, the movable body effect by the movable body unit is completed.

It should be noted that the first to fifth light emitting modes by the effect LED 9 may be different modes depending on various operating modes of the movable body. In addition, the light emission mode includes, for example, a color to be emitted, brightness, lighting or blinking, blinking speed, and the like.

Next, a production effect in the light emission production by the production LED 9 and the movable body LEDs 350A, 350B, 350CL, 350CR, 350DL, 350DR will be described with reference to FIG. 20A is a schematic view of the light emitting modes of the effect LED and the movable body LED as viewed from the side, and FIG. 20B is a schematic view of the light emitting modes of the effect LED and the movable body LED as viewed from above. ..

As shown in FIGS. 20(A) and 20(B), the effect LEDs 9 arranged around the first transmissive body 250 on the front surface of the opening/closing frame 50 irradiate the first transmissive body 250 with light, Since the outer peripheral surface of the first transmissive body 250 (first cylindrical body 252) is plated, the light from the effect LED 9 is prevented from being reflected and entering the first transmissive body 250. ing. Further, ambient light R other than the light from the effect LED 9 (for example, light such as indoor light of a game store or light from an adjacent game machine) is also prevented from entering the first transparent body 250 in the same manner. Has become.

That is, it is possible to prevent the visibility of each movable body and the game area 10 from being lowered, and to prevent the light emission effect of the movable body LEDs 350A, 350B, 350CL, 350CR, 350DL, and 350DR from being affected. In addition, by irradiating the periphery of the first transparent body 250, it is possible to make the surroundings of each movable body stand out, and not only the player playing the game on the pachinko gaming machine 1 but also the surroundings. The production can be appealed.

The movable body LEDs include a movable body LED 350A attached to the main body 302 facing the front side (player side), a movable body LED 350B attached to the second protrusion 304, and movable body LEDs 350CL and 350CR facing the side surface side. Each of the movable body LEDs 350DL and 350DR that directs light toward the back side (game area 10 side) is composed of (light emitting means). The light to the front side by the movable body LEDs 350A and 350B is irradiated to the front side through the front transmission plate 251, and the light to the back side by the movable body LEDs 350DL and 350DR is the game area 10 (a game ball flowing down the game area 10, It is designed to illuminate the winning openings and guideways. The light to the side surface side of the movable body LEDs 350CL and 350CR is emitted toward the first transmissive body 250, but the inner peripheral surface of the first transmissive body 250 (the second cylindrical body 253) is plated. Since the light is applied, the lights of the movable body LEDs 350CL and 350CR are reflected to the front side. That is, it is possible to collect light to the front side to enhance the effect of the effect, and it is possible to prevent the light effect of the effect LED 9 from being affected.

Next, an example of the display device effects on the effect display devices 5X and 5Y will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21: (A) is a schematic diagram which shows the standby state which shows a normal time of an effect display device, (B) is a schematic diagram which shows the 1st operation state of an effect display device, (C) is the 2nd of an effect display device. It is a schematic diagram showing an operating state.

As shown in FIG. 21A, in the normal state of the effect display device, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are in a standby state in which they are arranged on the left and right sides of the effect display device 5A. In this standby state, the standby state is arranged such that the display portion is slightly inclined so as to face the center side.

Although not shown, rail members (guide means) for guiding the movement of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are arranged above and below the effect display devices 5X and 5Y, respectively. The rail member is composed of a portion that extends in the front-rear direction at a position on the front surface side of the effect display device 5A and a portion that extends in a direction that separates left and right from both ends of the front-rear part. Is attached to the rail member so as to be rotatable about a vertical rotation shaft. In this way, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are provided so as to be movable and rotatable by the display device drive mechanism 900 including a rail member, a drive motor, and the like (not shown).

When the predetermined start condition of the display device effect is satisfied, the effect control CPU 120 moves the effect display devices 5X and 5Y so as to approach the position on the front side of the effect display device 5A, as shown in FIG. 21(B). After that, the rear display plate 261 is moved from the position on the rear surface side to the position on the front surface side through the hole 270 to change the effect display devices 5X and 5Y to the first operation state. That is, the effect control CPU 120 sets the effect display devices 5X and 5Y in the standby state at the position on the back side of the rear transmission plate 261 and the predetermined portions of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y through the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261. It is possible to execute the third control for moving the front side until it is located on the front transmission plate 251 side with respect to the rear transmission plate 261.

Since the effect display devices 5X and 5Y move to a position closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261, the display portion is visually recognized by the player while the display unit is slightly inclined so as to face the center side. It is possible to appropriately show the movement of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y while maintaining the easy state.

When the effect display devices 5X and 5Y move to a position closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261, the effect control CPU 120 separates the effect display devices 5X and 5Y from each other, as shown in FIG. The display units of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are rotated by a rotation motor (not shown) so as to face outward in the left-right direction. That is, after performing the third control, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the fourth control in which the CPU 120 is moved in the direction (left-right direction) intersecting the movement direction (front-back direction) in the third control. By performing the third control and the fourth control, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y change to the second operation state.

In addition, since the display units of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y face outward in the left-right direction in the second operation state, the display content of the display units can be viewed by anyone other than the player. The rail members that guide the movement of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y change the effect display devices 5X and 5X when the standby state changes to the first operation state and when the first operation state changes to the second operation state. Since it functions as a contact prevention unit that prevents contact between the 5Y and the rear transmission plate 261, it is possible to prevent the effect display devices 5X, 5Y or the rear transmission plate 261 from being damaged.

Next, the relationship between the rear transmission plate 261 and the first movable body 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the open/close frame is opened in the second operation mode of the movable body unit.

As shown in FIG. 22, the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261 is formed larger than the first movable body 300. More specifically, when the opening/closing frame 50 is opened/closed, the hole portion 270 is also rotated around the hinge portion (rotation shaft in the vertical direction) of the opening/closing frame 50. The first movable body 300 in the second operation mode of the movable body unit is the most protruding movable body in each operation mode of the movable body unit, and is the front portion of the first movable body 300 (the closed state of the opening/closing frame 50). In (), the portion located on the front transmission plate 251 side with respect to the hole 270) is arranged within the rotation region Z of the hole 270.

Therefore, even if the opening/closing frame 50 is opened/closed, the rear transmission plate 261 does not contact the first movable body 300. According to this, for example, when an operation error or the like occurs during the operation of the movable body unit, that is, during the execution of the first control or the second control, and it is necessary to open the open/close frame 50 and perform maintenance. Even if there is, since the opening/closing frame 50 can be opened without contacting the rear transmission plate 261, it is possible to prevent the rear transmission plate 261 and the first movable body 300 from being damaged.

Next, an example of the composite effect including the movable object effect and the display device effect in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23: is (A)-(F) is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the flow of compound production.

First, as shown in FIG. 23(A), for example, after a reach state is established during a predetermined symbol variation display, as shown in FIG. 23(B), the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are changed to those of the effect display device 5A. It moves so as to approach the position on the front side, and the display indicating that the super reach effect or the like has been developed is executed on the effect display devices 5X and 5Y.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23(C), the effect display devices 5X and 5Y come into contact with each other to form one display section, and at the same time, promote the operation for urging the player to operate the operation means. The image is displayed.

When the player operates the operation means during the operation acceptance period of the operation means, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y move to the standby position as shown in FIG. The movable body effect is executed assuming that the start condition is satisfied, and the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R perform the effect operation, and the movable body unit changes from the operation standby mode to the first operation mode. Change. At this time, each movable body is superposed in front of the display unit of the effect display device 5A, and the display unit of the effect display device 5A becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize.

When the first operation mode of the movable body unit elapses for a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 23(E), the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are stored, and the first movable body 300 and the first movable body 300 and The four movable bodies 600L and 600R perform an effect operation, and the movable body unit changes from the first operation mode to the second operation mode. Also at this time, each movable body is superposed in front of the display unit of the effect display device 5A, and the display unit of the effect display device 5A becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize.

Next, when the second operation form of the movable body unit elapses for a predetermined time, the storing operation of the first movable body 300 and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R is executed, and the movable body effect is finished. Further, at the time of producing a movable body, a symbol indicating a big hit is aligned on the effect display device 5A (for example, 7-7-7) to be displayed, and an effect image (for example, a character or character etc.) is displayed on the effect display devices 5X and 5Y. ) Is displayed.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the window portion 51 for visually recognizing the game area 10, the first movable body 300 operably provided, and the first The effect control CPU 120 as a control unit for controlling the movable body 300 is provided, and the window portion 51 is provided with the first transparent body 250 and the hole portion 270 arranged closer to the game area 10 than the first transparent body 250. And the second transmission body 260 in which is formed, the CPU 120 for effect control sets the first movable body 300 in the first standby position to the predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302. ) Moves to the front side through the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261 until it is located on the front transmission plate 251 side of the rear transmission plate 261, and after executing the first control, The first protruding portion 303, which is a part of the predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side), is moved in a direction (front upper direction) that intersects the movement direction (front lower direction) in the first control. Alternatively, after executing the first control, the second projecting portion 304 that is a part of the predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 is moved in the moving direction (front lower direction) in the first control. It is possible to carry out the second control of moving in a direction intersecting with (1).

By doing so, after performing the first control for moving the first movable body 300 to the first transparent body 250 side, at least a part of the predetermined portion of the main body portion 302 (for example, the first protruding portion 303 or the first protruding portion 303). Second protrusion 304) is moved in a direction (front upper direction) different from the moving direction (front lower direction) in the first control on the first transmitter 250 side of second transmitter 260. As a result, the player can be given more impact, and the effect of the effect can be improved.

Specifically, in addition to the first control for moving the first movable body 300 to the first transparent body 250 side, after performing the first control, a direction different from the moving direction (the front lower direction) in the first control. By performing the second control of moving the front body (upward), a part of the main body portion 302 (for example, the first protruding portion 303 or the second protruding portion 304) is expanded and the first movable body 300 is expanded. Since it looks like it is present, it can give an impact to the player.

Further, the rear transmission plate 261 is arranged to face the front side of the board surface plate 200 so that the game balls can flow down between the game board surface 200A, and forms a flow-down area of the game ball between itself and the game board surface 200A. Therefore, the hole portion 270 is formed at a position corresponding to the effect area (the opening 2c formed in the board 200) that does not correspond to the flow-down area of the game ball in the game area 10. In other words, it is necessary to secure the flow-down area of the game ball, so there is a limit to making the hole 270 large, and in order to pass the first movable body 300 through the hole 270, the first movable body 300 is It cannot be larger than the hole 270.

Therefore, as in the present invention, after performing the first control for moving the first movable body 300 to the front side, at least a part of the predetermined portion of the main body 302 (for example, the first protruding portion 303 or the second protruding portion 304). ) Is moved in a direction (front upper direction) different from the moving direction (front lower direction) in the first control on the front side of the second transmissive body 260, so that the hole portion 270 becomes unnecessary. A part of the main body portion 302 is expanded when the first movable body 300 is viewed from the front (player side) at a position closer to the player than the rear transmission plate 261 without increasing the size. Since it can be shown like this, a more powerful effect can be provided to the player.

In addition, in the second control, the effect control CPU 120 causes the first projecting portion 303 and the second projecting portion 304, which are part of the predetermined portion (front half) of the main body 302, to move in the moving direction (lower front). Direction) to move in the direction intersecting with (direction above). By doing so, the movement (projection operation) of the first projecting portion 303 and the second projecting portion 304 of the first movable body 300 in the second control can be appropriately viewed.

Further, in the second control, the first projecting portion 303 and the second projecting portion 304, which are a part of the predetermined portion (front half) of the main body portion 302, intersect with the moving direction (front lower direction) in the first control. Direction, and in order to move in the front upper direction, which is the direction along the front transmission plate 251, the first protrusion 303 and the second protrusion 304 are arranged around the main body 302 when viewed from the front. Since it can be expanded and moved toward the player side, a more powerful effect can be provided.

The first movable body 300 moves in the second control in a direction (front side) opposite to the game area 10, that is, the first control and the second control move so as to gradually protrude toward the front side. A certain performance can be performed.

Further, the first movable body 300 moves to the front side while descending to the first lower position from the first standby position to the first effect position by the first control, so that the first movable body 300 moves to the front side, as compared with the one that moves horizontally, on the player side. You can make it easier to understand how you are moving toward. Further, not only the surface A but also the surface B of the main body 302 can be visually recognized when moving forward, so that the main body 302 can be made large.

Further, in the first operation mode, the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R that support the first movable body 300, and in the second operation mode, the fourth movable body 600L that supports the first movable body 300. , 600R or the like. By doing so, the posture of the first movable body 300 during operation and after operation can be stabilized.

More specifically, the first movable body 300 is operably supported by the base member 700 provided on the back surface side of the game board 2, and moves to the front side via the board face plate 200 and the rear transmission plate 261. Since the moving distance is longer than that of a conventional movable body that moves only to the front side of the rear transmission plate 261, it may be possible to support it stably via a guide rail or the like, but to the front side of the rear transmission plate 261. When the guide rail or the like is provided, visibility may be deteriorated, for example, when the movable body effect is not executed, the guide rail or the like makes it difficult to see a part of the rear game area 10. Therefore, by supporting the other fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R only during the performance operation in this way, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the game area 10 from being reduced when the movable body performance is not executed. it can.

In addition, the second movable body different from the first movable body 300 (for example, the second movable body 400, the third movable body 500L, 500R and the fourth movable body 600L, 600R, etc.), the effect control CPU120, the. After performing the first control, it is possible to perform control to move the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R to the first movable body 300 so that they can be combined. By doing so, the first movable body 300 and the second movable body (for example, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, etc.) support each other by the combination. Therefore, the posture after movement can be stabilized.

Specifically, in the first operation mode and the second operation mode of the movable body unit, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R different from the first movable body 300 are provided. Since the first movable body 300 is disposed so as to come into contact with or come close to the peripheral area of the first movable body 300, the first movable body 300 is swayed after the projecting operation of the first projecting portion 303 and the second projecting portion 304. Even so, they can support each other and stabilize their posture.

In addition, when the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are combined with the first movable body 300 in the first operation mode, or when the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are the first movable body 300 in the second operation mode. When combined with, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged rearward of the rear transmission plate 261. By doing so, when the first movable body 300 and the second movable body (for example, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R) are combined, Since the first movable body 300 is located at a position different in the moving direction (front-back direction) in the first control, a sense of depth can be generated.

Further, the window 51 can open and close the game area 10 (see FIG. 3), and the first movable body 300 does not contact the second transparent body 260 when opening or closing the window 51 (see FIG. 21). By doing so, damage to the first movable body 300 and the second transparent body 260 can be prevented.

Specifically, the front portion of the first movable body 300 (the portion arranged on the front transmission plate 251 side of the hole 270 in the closed state of the opening/closing frame 50) is within the rotation region Z of the hole 270. Since they are arranged, the rear transmission plate 261 does not come into contact with the first movable body 300 even when the opening/closing frame 50 is opened/closed. According to this, for example, during the operation of the movable body unit, that is, during the execution of the first control and the second control, an operation error or the like occurs and the first movable body 300 remains stopped at the first effect position. Even when it is necessary to open the open/close frame 50 and perform maintenance, since the open/close frame 50 can be opened without contacting the rear transmission plate 261, the rear transmission plate 261 and the first movable body 300 are damaged. Can be prevented.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first movable body 300 is arranged in the rotation region Z of the hole 270 even during the execution of the first control and the second control in the movable body production, so that the rear transmission is performed. Although the form in which the opening/closing frame 50 can be opened without contacting the plate 261 has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the opening/closing frame 50 is not contacted with the second transparent body when opening/closing. Just do it.

For example, a door opening detection sensor (not shown) for detecting opening of the opening/closing frame 50 is connected to the main board 11, and the main board 11 detects opening of the opening/closing frame 50 by the door opening detection sensor. Based on this, the door opening designation command indicating that the opening/closing frame 50 has been opened is transmitted to the effect control board 12. And CPU120 for production control performs control which moves the 1st movable body 300 to a standby position, when a command during door opening is received when the 1st control and the 2nd control are performed in movable body production. You may do it.

According to this, for example, when the first control or the second control is executed in the movable body effect, an operation abnormality of the first movable body 300 occurs and the first movable body 300 is in the first effect position or the like. Even if it becomes necessary to open the open/close frame 50 for maintenance due to improper operation, ball clogging within the game area 10, etc. Since the movable body 300 retreats toward a position (for example, a standby position) that does not contact the rear transmission plate 261, it is possible to prevent the rear transmission plate 261 and the first movable body 300 from being damaged.

Further, when the open/close frame 50 is opened, even if a game ball that has stayed in a beaded state due to a ball jam falls, the front side of the rear transmission plate 261 is controlled by the first control, that is, the front side of the game area 10. By retracting the moving first movable body 300 to the standby position side, it is possible to prevent the dropped game ball from colliding with the first movable body 300, so that the first movable body 300 collides with the game ball. It is possible to prevent the game ball from being damaged or bouncing due to the collision with the first movable body 300 and entering the back side of the board 200 through the opening 2c of the board 200.

In addition, the first movable body 300, after performing the first control, can emit light toward a portion other than the first transparent body 250 (for example, movable body LED 350A, movable body LED 350B, movable body LEDs 350CL, 350CR). , And movable LEDs 350DL, 350DR, etc.) are provided. By doing so, not only the player but also the surroundings can be appealed to.

Specifically, not only the moving effect of the first movable body 300, but also the light emitting effect of the movable body LEDs 350A, the movable body LEDs 350B, the movable body LEDs 350CL and 350CR, and the movable body LEDs 350DL and 350DR can be performed, so that the production is performed in a wide range. Can be appealed.

In addition, a gaming machine frame 3 having a gaming board 2 for forming a gaming area 10, an opening/closing frame 50 having a window portion 51 that can be opened and closed with respect to the gaming machine frame 3, and a window portion in the opening/closing frame 50. An effect LED 9 as an opening/closing frame light emitting means provided in a region other than 51 and an effect control CPU 120 as an emission control means for performing emission control of the effect LED 9 are provided, and the effect control CPU 120 includes the first movable body 300. , The second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R can change the light emission mode of the production LED 9 to the first to fifth light emission modes. By doing so, the movement of the first movable body 300 can be appropriately produced.

In addition, the production control CPU 120 controls the production LED 9 to emit light in the first light emission mode and then to emit light in the second light emission mode having a lower brightness than the first light emission mode. By doing so, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the transparency of the first movable body 300 and the like.

Specifically, after performing the first control in the first light emission mode, in the second light emission mode in which the movable body unit has a lower luminance than the first light emission mode in the first operation mode (during the second control). Since the light is emitted, during the second control, which is an effect in which the first movable body 300 appears to be enlarged, halation or the like occurs due to the light of the effect LED 9, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the visibility of each movable body. ..

In addition, a gaming machine frame 3 having a gaming board 2 for forming a gaming area 10, an opening/closing frame 50 having a window portion 51 that can be opened and closed with respect to the gaming machine frame 3, and a window portion in the opening/closing frame 50. The production LED 9 provided as an opening/closing frame light emitting means provided in an area other than 51 and a production control CPU 120 as a light emission control means for performing emission control of the production LED 9 are provided, and the production LED 9 is subjected to the first control. After that, the first movable body 300 is irradiated with light. By doing so, the first movable body 300 can be made conspicuous by light.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the second projecting state is changed to the first projecting state so that the first projecting section 303 spreads around the main body section 302 by the execution of the second control, when viewed from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, The first protrusion 303 does not protrude outside the region corresponding to the hole 270, that is, it does not stick out toward the game region 10 side of the game ball, so that the first protrusion 303 does not hinder the visual recognition of the game ball. Although the form has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in a modified example 1 shown in FIG. 24, at least a part of a predetermined portion of the first movable body 300 is a game area 10 of a game ball. May be moved so as to overlap the area corresponding to, or, as shown in Modification 2 shown in FIG. 25, at least a part of the predetermined portion of the first movable body 300 corresponds to the game area 10 of the game ball.

By doing so, the images displayed on the effect display devices 5X and 5Y that have moved to the display position can be visually recognized from the side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, so that the effect of the effect can be further improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 as a plate-shaped portion is arranged so as to close the opening on the front side of the tubular portion, and the entire area of the game area 10 is visible through the front transmission plate 251. Although the form has been illustrated, the front transmission plate 251 as a plate-shaped portion includes a first plate-shaped portion that closes the opening on the front side of the tubular portion and a second plate-shaped portion that is arranged outside the tubular portion. It may have been done.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 is illustrated as being arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the rear transmission plate 261, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in Modification 5 below. In addition, the front transmission plate 251 may be arranged substantially parallel to the rear transmission plate 261. Further, only a part of the front transmission plate 251 may be inclined and the other parts may be arranged in parallel.

Here, Modification Example 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 28A and 28B are vertical cross-sectional views showing a window unit as a modified example 5 of the invention.

As in Modification 5 shown in FIGS. 28A and 28B, the front transmission plate 251 includes a first plate-shaped portion 251A that closes the front opening of the tubular body 252A as a tubular portion, and a tubular body. The second plate-shaped portion 251B may be arranged outside the 252A.

Further, as shown in FIG. 28A, the first plate-shaped portion 251A is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the rear transmission plate 261, and the second plate-shaped portion 251B is arranged substantially parallel to the rear transmission plate 261. May be. Further, as shown in FIG. 28B, both the first plate-shaped portion 251A and the second plate-shaped portion 251B may be arranged substantially parallel to the rear transmission plate 261.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R arranged below the first movable body 300 are not located on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261 even when moved to the effect position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the front transmission plate 251 is arranged so as to incline rearward toward the lower side, the first movable The body 300 is allowed to move to the front side until a predetermined portion of the main body 302 is located on the front transmission plate 251 side of the rear transmission plate 261 via the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261, and the second movable body 400 is also provided. Alternatively, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R may be movable to the front side through a hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261 until the predetermined portion is located closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261. ..

In this case, the first predetermined portion of the first movable body 300 is located in front of the predetermined portions of the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R in a state where each movable body is moved to the effect position. It is preferable to be located at. By doing so, the movement amounts of the first movable body 300 and the second movable body (the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L, 500R) can be made different according to the inclination of the front transmission plate 251. ..

Further, when the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are located below the player's line of sight when moving to the effect position, the front side of the rear transmission plate 261. When moving to, there is a possibility that the movable body that has moved to the effect position may make it difficult to see the game area 10 below the movable body (particularly, the starting winning opening and the special winning opening). Therefore, as described above, the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R below the first movable body 300 should be moved so as not to project to the front side of the first movable body 300 at the effect position. Thus, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the lower game area 10 from being lowered.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 as the plate-shaped portion has the front surface formed in a flat surface shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a non-flat surface shape (for example, a curved surface). Surface or spherical).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 is illustrated as being arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the rear transmission plate 261, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in Modification 6 below. In addition, the front transmission plate 251 may be arranged substantially parallel to the rear transmission plate 261. Further, only a part of the front transmission plate 251 may be inclined and the other parts may be arranged in parallel.

Next, a modified example 6 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 29: (A) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a state in which the window unit is located at the first visual recognition position as a modified example 6 of the present invention, and (B) is a state in which the window unit is moved to the second visual recognition position. FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, the window unit 51A is illustrated as being immovably provided with the tubular portion protruding forward with respect to the opening/closing frame 50, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, like the first transmission body 250 of the window unit 51B of the modified example 6, the front transmission plate 251 is substantially parallel to the rear transmission plate 261 at a position apart from the rear transmission plate 261 in the front direction. Between the first visual recognition position (see FIG. 29(A)) located on the bottom and the second visual recognition position (see FIG. 29(B)) where the upper end of the rear transmission plate 261 is inclined forward (see FIG. 29(B)). It may be provided so as to be rotatable around the provided rotation shaft 280 that faces the left-right direction.

In this case, the first transparent body 250, which is a part of the window unit 51B, is provided so as to project toward the player from the first visible position to the second visible position. It is difficult to understand that the body 250 has moved to the second visual recognition position. However, when the first movable body 300 moves forward in response to the movement of the first transparent body 250 to the second visual recognition position, it becomes easier to recognize that the first transparent body 250 has moved. More specifically, for example, when the tilt angle of the front transmission plate 251 is changed, the incident angle of the light emitted from the movable body LED 350A to the front transmission plate 251 is changed, whereby the back surface of the front transmission plate 251 is changed. The amount of light reflected by increases, the front surface of the game area 10 at the rear is illuminated, and the amount of light emitted at the front is reduced, so that the visibility of the game area 10 from the player side is improved.

In addition, the first movable body 300 also returns to the rear side according to the movement of the first transparent body 250 from the second visual recognition position to the first visual recognition position, so that the effect of production is improved. Moreover, the light reflected by the front transmission plate 251 also changes when the incident angle of the external light R with respect to the front transmission plate 251 changes, and the first movable body 300 and the game area 10 are visually recognized through the front transmission plate 251. By changing the mode, it becomes easier to recognize that the first transparent body 250 has moved forward.

Moreover, since the movable body also pops out to the player side together with the first transparent body 250, it is possible to give an impact. Furthermore, since the lower side of the first transparent body 250 does not move, it is possible to avoid obstructing other parts (for example, throwing the game ball into the upper plate 90 below).

Next, a modified example 7 of the invention will be described with reference to FIG. 30A is a cross-sectional view showing a window unit as a modified example 7 of the present invention, and FIG. 30B is a front view showing an effect mode of light guide plate effect. In this modification 7, an example in which the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 function as a light guide plate will be described.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 30(A) and 30(B), the front transmission plate 251 reflects the light from the light guide plate LED 290 entering the inside from the left and right side end faces to the front and emits it from the front face. A light emitting region E1 forming a predetermined light guide pattern, that is, a light emitting region E1 that emits light by light incident inside the front transmission plate 251 (see a halftone dot region in FIG. 30(B)), and left and right side end faces. And a non-light-emitting region in which a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects the light from the light guide plate LED 290 that has entered the inside from the front and emits it from the front surface is formed.

The rear transmission plate 261 is provided on the first movable body 300, and forms a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects the light from the light guide plate LED 291 that is incident inside from the side end surface of the hole 270 to the front side and emits the light from the front side. Light-emitting area E2, that is, the light-emitting area E2 that emits light by the light that has entered the rear transmission plate 261 (see the hatched area in FIG. 30B), and the light has entered from the side end surface of the hole 270. And a non-light-emitting region in which a predetermined light guide pattern for reflecting the light from the light guide plate LED 291 forward and emitting it from the front surface is not formed.

The light emitting regions E1 and E2 are formed on the back side in a fine concavo-convex state (rough surface) so as to guide the incident light from the light guide plate LEDs 290 and 291 which is incident inside from the end faces to be emitted from the front face. Specifically, the light emitting areas E1 and E2 are formed in an uneven state (rough surface) having a substantially semicircular shape with a constant pitch in a cross-sectional view when the traveling direction of light is viewed from the side (detailed). (Not shown).

When light enters from the end faces of the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261, the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 are given a predetermined pattern by a dot pattern formed of a plurality of recesses formed in the light emitting regions E1 and E2. An image (still image) is displayed (see the halftone dot area and the shaded area in FIG. 30B).

As shown in the present modification 7, the front transmission plate 251 of the first transmission body 250 and the rear transmission plate 261 of the second transmission body 260 are light guide plates that guide the light incident from the end face to emit the surface light. By functioning, it is possible to further enhance the effect of the movable body effect. In particular, even when the movable body has moved to the effect position where the predetermined portion is on the front side of the rear transmissive plate 261, it is possible to produce the movable object by causing the light emitting area E1 to emit light in front of it.

Further, by allowing the light emitting area E1 and the light emitting area E2 behind the light emitting area E1 to emit light, the light emitting areas E1 and E2 corresponding to the front and rear positions of the movable body can emit light. It is possible to perform a light emission effect at a position closer to. In addition, since the front and rear depth feeling can be generated by causing the light emitting areas E1 and E2 to emit light at the same time, the effect of production is improved.

Further, in the present modification 7, by allowing light from the light guide plate LED provided on the movable body to enter from the end surface of the hole 270, the first transmissive body 250 attached to the opening/closing frame 50 side and Since it is not necessary to provide a light-emitting body on the second transparent body 260 and it is not necessary to draw the wiring from the gaming machine frame 3 side on which the effect control board 12 is mounted, it is possible to avoid complication of the wiring work. The light emitting area E2 may be made to emit light by light from the light guide plate LED provided on the window unit 51A side. Further, although the light emitting areas E1 and E2 are provided on both the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261, they may be provided on only one of them.

Further, in the present modification 7, an example in which the light emitting regions E1 and E2 are provided on both the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 has been described, but the tubular portion guides the light incident from the end face. You may make it function as a light guide body which carries out surface emission. In this case, the tubular portion is made of a transparent member having a light-transmitting property, and light is incident from the front end or the rear end of the tubular portion so that the light emitting region provided in a part of the outer peripheral surface emits light. You can do this.

In addition, although not particularly shown, as the support portion that is provided in a region other than the window portion 51 of the open/close frame 50 and supports the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253, which are tubular portions, for example, the open/close frame 50. Since the tubular portion is supported by the LED cover serving as the support portion by providing the LED cover that is provided on the front surface of the LED light source and that forms the light emitting portion that emits light by the effect LED 9, it is possible to suppress damage and fraud.

Further, as described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the window portion 51 for visually recognizing the game area 10, and the effect display devices 5X and 5Y operably provided. , And a production control CPU 120 for controlling the production display devices 5X and 5Y, and the window portion 51 is a first transparent body 250 and a hole portion arranged closer to the game area 10 than the first transparent body 250 is. The second transmission body 260 in which 270 is formed, and the production control CPU 120 sets the production display devices 5X and 5Y in the standby state at the position on the back side of the rear transmission plate 261 to the production display devices 5X and 5Y. It is possible to execute the third control of moving the predetermined part of the rear side to the front side through the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261 until it is located closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261.

By doing so, it is possible to move a predetermined portion of the effect display device 5X, 5Y to a position closer to the first transmissive body 250 than the rear transmissive plate 261 of the second transmissive body 260. Since it is possible for the person to make an impact, the effect of the effect can be improved.

Further, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y can be moved to a position closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the rear transmission plate 261 in a state where the display unit is slightly inclined so as to face the center side. By doing so, the movements of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y can be appropriately viewed.

Moreover, after performing the third control, the effect control CPU 120 moves the effect display devices 5X and 5Y in a direction (left-right direction) that intersects the moving direction (front-rear direction) in the third control. Control can be executed. By doing so, the display content of the display section can be visually recognized by anyone other than the player.

Further, as described above, the rear transmission plate 261 is arranged to face the front side of the board plate 200 so that the game balls can flow down between the game board surface 200A and the game board surface 200A. Therefore, the hole portion 270 is formed at a position corresponding to the effect area (the opening 2c formed in the board 200) that does not correspond to the flow area of the game ball in the game area 10. In other words, there is a limit to making the hole 270 large because it is necessary to secure the flow-down area of the game ball, and in order to allow the effect display devices 5X and 5Y to pass through the hole 270, the effect display device 5X, 5Y cannot be larger than the hole 270.

Therefore, as in the present invention, after performing the third control for moving the effect display devices 5X and 5Y to the front side, at least a part (the whole in this embodiment) of a predetermined portion of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y is changed to the first By performing the fourth control in which the second transmission body 260 is moved in a direction (front and rear direction) different from the movement direction (front direction) in the first control, the hole portion 270 is not made unnecessarily large, and Since the display units of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y can be shown at a position closer to the player on the front side than the rear transmission plate 261, the player can be provided with a powerful effect.

Further, in order to move the left and right effect display devices 5X and 5Y to the front side through the hole 270, they are first moved toward the center and then passed through the hole 270, so that the hole 270 should be made larger than necessary. Instead, it is possible to allow the production display devices 5X and 5Y to pass through. After passing through the hole portion 270, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y can be further moved in the left-right direction, so that the position of the hole portion 270 is not limited and a desired position (for example, a central effect display). The image displayed on the display unit can be shown at a position where it does not hinder the visibility of the device 5A or at a position where it is hidden. Further, after the movement, since the effect display device 5A is located behind the effect display devices 5X and 5Y, a sense of depth can be generated.

Further, since the display units of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are arranged in front of the game area 10 by executing the third control, for example, not only notification of left-handed or right-handed, but also a predetermined position is provided. It is possible to display a notification image or the like for aiming and launching a game ball toward the winning area thus obtained, from the front side of the gaming area 10 and near the aiming point.

Further, a rail member (not shown) that guides the movement of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y produces effects when changing from the standby state to the first operation state and when changing from the first operation state to the second operation state. It functions as a contact prevention unit that prevents the display devices 5X and 5Y from contacting the rear transmission plate 261. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the effect display devices 5X, 5Y and the rear transmissive plate 261 of the second transmissive body 260 from coming into contact and being damaged.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the display device, the form in which the effect display devices 5X and 5Y which are provided auxiliary to the side of the effect display device 5A capable of variable display of effect symbols are applied is exemplified. The invention is not limited to this, and the display device may be directed to the effect display device 5A, or a display device for effect provided separately from the effect display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y (for example, a movable body). Display device etc.) mounted on a computer, etc.). Further, not limited to the display device for the production connected to the production control board 12 in this way, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, the normal symbol display device 20, the first hold display device 25A. , Various display devices connected to the main board 11, such as the second hold display 25B and the universal figure hold display 25C.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the third control, the form in which the effect display devices 5X and 5Y move to the front side of the rear transmission plate 261 has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, The display mode of the display screen is changed in accordance with the movement of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y (for example, the image is enlarged or the symbol or character is moved in accordance with the forward movement of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y). By performing display control (such as changing the background color or changing the background color), it is possible to improve the effect by moving the display device and changing the display image.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, when the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are changed to the first operation state, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are entirely positioned on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261. The present invention is not limited to this, and only the predetermined portion (for example, the display portion) of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y may be located on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the fourth control, after the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are moved in the left-right direction, the display unit is rotated so as to face outward, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to this, and the display units of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y may be rotated along the front transmission plate 251. By doing so, the display units are brought closer to the player side. It becomes possible.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are exemplified to be provided so as to be movable substantially parallel to the front, rear, left and right directions, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in the third control. You may move so that it may incline upward or downward toward the front-back direction. Further, in the fourth control, it may be moved upward or downward.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which only the effect display devices 5X and 5Y move to the front side of the rear transmission plate 261 has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect display devices 5A and other. The display device may be moved to the front side of the rear transmission plate 261.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y as movable bodies are exemplified as being provided on the back side of the game board 2 in the non-operating state, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it may be provided on the front side of the game board surface 200A of the board surface plate 200.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect display devices 5X and 5Y have been exemplified as being arranged at positions corresponding to the flow-down area of the game balls in the game area 10 when viewed from the front after the execution of the fourth control. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after execution of the fourth control, when viewed from the front, other than the position corresponding to the flow-down area of the game ball in the game area 10 (the position corresponding to the effect area), that is, It is preferable to move the effect display devices 5X and 5Y within the area corresponding to the hole 270.

Further, by doing so, as described as an example of the movable body in FIG. 22, for example, the operation error occurs during the operation of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y, that is, during the execution of the third control and the fourth control. Even if, for example, the need arises to open the open/close frame 50 and perform maintenance, the open/close frame 50 can be opened without contacting the rear transparent plate 261, so the rear transparent plate 261 and the effect display device. It is possible to prevent the 5X and 5Y from being damaged.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, since the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are moved within the area corresponding to the hole 270, the opening/closing frame 50 can be opened without contacting the rear transmission plate 261. Is not limited to this, as long as it does not come into contact with the second transmissive body when opening/closing the open/close frame 50.

For example, a door opening detection sensor (not shown) for detecting opening of the opening/closing frame 50 is connected to the main board 11, and the main board 11 detects opening of the opening/closing frame 50 by the door opening detection sensor. Based on this, the door opening designation command indicating that the opening/closing frame 50 has been opened is transmitted to the effect control board 12. Then, the effect control CPU 120 may perform control to move the effect display devices 5X and 5Y to the standby position when the door opening designation command is received while executing the third control or the fourth control. Good.

According to this, for example, while performing the third control or the fourth control of the effect display devices 5X, 5Y, an operation abnormality of the effect display devices 5X, 5Y occurs, and the effect display devices 5X, 5Y are generated. Even if it is necessary to open the open/close frame 50 for maintenance due to immobilization on the front side of the rear transmission plate 261 or ball clogging in the game area 10, Since the effect display devices 5X and 5Y retreat toward a position (for example, a standby position) where the effect display devices 5X and 5Y do not contact with the rear transmission plate 261 when opened, the rear transmission plate 261 and the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are prevented from being damaged. it can.

Furthermore, when opening and closing the opening and closing frame 50, even if the game ball that has stayed in a beaded state due to a ball clogging drops due to the third control, it is located in front of the rear transmission plate 261; that is, in front of the game area 10. Since the effect display devices 5X, 5Y that have been moving can be avoided to collide with the effect display devices 5X, 5Y by retracting to the standby position side, the effect display devices 5X by collision with the game balls. , 5Y can be prevented from being damaged, or the game ball can be prevented from bouncing due to the collision with the effect display devices 5X and 5Y and entering the back side of the board 200 through the opening 2c of the board 200.

Moreover, the CPU 120 for effect control issues a door opening designation command when executing the first control or the second control of the first movable body 300 or the third control or the fourth control of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y. When received, not only the first movable body 300 and the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are moved to the standby position, but also the effect display that is being executed is interrupted, and at least the first movable body 300 and the effect display devices 5X and 5Y are stopped. Until the rear transmission plate 261 is moved to the rear side, a notification for restricting the opening of the opening/closing frame 50 is output (for example, a sound "Do not open the opening/closing frame" is output or a message is displayed on the effect display devices 5X, 5Y, etc. May be displayed).

Further, a lock mechanism or the like for locking the open/close frame 50 in a closed state is provided, and the effect control CPU 120 causes the first control and the second control of the first movable body 300, or the third control of the effect display devices 5X and 5Y. Alternatively, when the door open-time designation command is received while executing the fourth control, the opening of the open/close frame 50 may be restricted by locking by the lock mechanism.
