Function as a hit determination means that determines whether or not a hit game (big hit game) is given by determining whether or not the value matches a predetermined hit judgment value (big hit judgment value) Equipped with. In addition, the big hit game (hit game) executed when the big hit determination is affirmative (hits) gives the player a chance to win many prize balls by opening the special winning device 27 under a predetermined opening condition. This big hit game is a bonus for the player. That is, in the embodiment, the main control CPU 80a has a function as a privilege determination unit that determines whether or not to grant a privilege to the player when the winning of the start winning unit is triggered. It should be noted that winning of a pachinko ball to the starting winning opening 25a, 26a is set as the satisfaction of the starting condition, and the main control CPU 80a makes a hit determination as a hit determining means upon the satisfaction of the starting condition. ..

(About production control board 81)

(About bonus game status)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege game state as a game state (privilege) advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, the first privilege game state is a state in which the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 27a is increased as compared to a state in which the first privilege game state is not given. Specifically, in the first bonus game state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 27a can be increased by changing the jackpot probability from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege game state is referred to as a “probably changed state” for convenience.

The probability variation function of the present embodiment, the type of the big hit symbol fixedly stopped and displayed on the display device 17 is a predetermined probability variation symbol, and the jackpot lottery probability (big hit probability) is lowered after the jackpot game ends. It is a function that gives a probability change state that changes from probability to high probability. It should be noted that a state to which the probability variation state is not given is referred to as an uncertain variation state. In the embodiment, the big hit to which the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is the probability variation big hit, and the big hit to which the probability variation state is not applied is the non-probability variation big hit. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of the big hit to which the probability variation state is given, the probability variation state is continuously given after the big hit game ends and until the next big hit occurs. As described above, when the probability variation state is given, the lottery probability of the jackpot changes with a high probability, and the jackpot is likely to occur. Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player is expected to be the probability variation jackpot. I am playing with expectations. The period in which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied from the time the probability variation state is applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the condition may be changed to the non-probability variation state. Here, the predetermined condition may be the number of times of variation of the symbol variation effect after the probability variation state is given. In addition, whether to shift to the non-probable variation state for each symbol variation effect is determined (falling lottery) based on the random number acquired when the winning of the pachinko ball to the starting winning opening 25a, 26a is taken as an opportunity (falling lottery) It is also possible to shift to the indeterminate state under the condition.

Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the second privilege game status (privilege) as a game status advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, the second privilege game state is a state in which the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the second start winning hole 26a is increased as compared to a state in which the second privilege game state is not given. Specifically, in the second privilege game state, (1) the pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 33 (more specifically, the passing ball detection sensor 33a detects the pachinko ball). Shortening the variation time of the universal figure fluctuation display, (2) the probability of the universal figure hit changing from a low probability to a high probability, (3) the opening/closing member 26b for starting that opens the second starting winning opening 26a for each single figure By increasing the opening time of, it is possible to increase the opportunity for the pachinko ball to win the second start winning hole 26a. In the second bonus game state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the starting opening/closing member 26b for opening the second starting winning opening 26a per one time, it is possible to simply extend the opening time of the starting opening/closing member 26b. Alternatively, it may be realized by increasing the number of times of opening and closing the starting opening/closing member 26b, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the above (1) to (3) are combined as the second privilege game state, and in the following description, the state in which these (1) to (3) are combined is referred to as a "shortened state" for convenience. ].

Here, in the embodiment, the period in which the variable state is given (number of times of variation) is configured to change according to the type of the jackpot symbol determined when the jackpot is won. Specifically, if the type of jackpot design is a predetermined probability variation pattern, it is set so that a short-shortened state is given until the next big hit occurs, and the type of jackpot design is determined in advance. In the case of a non-probability variation symbol, it is set that the variable state is given until the symbol variation effect is executed a predetermined number of times. In the present embodiment, the short state is the winning rate improved state.

The probable variation state and the variable variation state are determined by the type of the jackpot symbol selected when the jackpot determination executed by the main control CPU 80a is affirmed in response to the winning of the start winning hole 25a, 26a. That is, the main control CPU 80a functions as a means for providing a probability variation state in which the probability of a big hit (probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative) is higher than usual, and also provides the probability variation state. It functions as a probability variation determination means for determining whether or not. Further, the main control CPU80a, in the case of a big hit (when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative (hit)), the odd-shortening state in which the probability that a pachinko ball will win the second start winning opening 26a has a high probability ( It functions as a means for imparting a winning rate improvement state) and also as a short-term state determining means (winning rate improvement state determining means) for determining whether or not the short-term state is imparted. It should be noted that the probability variation state and the variation state are both benefits that may be given to the player upon the winning of the starting winning means as in the case of the big hit game.

(About movable body production)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured by the movable effect device M to be able to execute a movable body effect that suggests that a big hit game (hit game) may be given after the end of the symbol variation effect. .. That is, when a variation pattern designating command for designating a variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 80a is input to the effect control CPU 81a when a prize is paid to the starting winning opening 25a, 26a, the effect control CPU 81a moves the effect.

A plurality of types of this motion effect pattern are set in which the combination of the motion of the movable body 54 and the motion of the base member 41 is different. In the embodiment, five types of the first action effect pattern P1 to the fifth action effect pattern P5 are set, but the types are examples, and other types can be set.

Here, the operation that can be performed by the movable body 54 and the operation that can be performed by the base member 41 will be described below.
The movable body 54 is capable of executing the first motion A and the first motion B classified into the first motion, and the second motion A and the second motion classified into the second motion. The operation B can be executed.
The first operation A is an operation in which the movable body 54 moves from the first position (upright posture) to the second position (left and right inclined posture) while maintaining the first shape (the protruding state of the movable portion 56).
The first operation B is an operation of moving the movable body 54 from the second position (horizontal inclined posture) to the first position (upright posture) while maintaining the first shape (the protruding state of the movable portion 56).
In the second operation A, the movable body 54 changes from the first shape (the projecting state of the movable portion 56) to the second shape (the stored state of the movable portion 56) and the second position (the upright posture). This is a movement to move to a left-right tilted posture).
In the second operation B, the movable body 54 changes from the second shape (the storage state of the movable portion 56) to the first shape (the protruding state of the movable portion 56) and the second position (the left and right inclined posture) to the first position. This is a movement to move to (upright posture).
Further, the base member 41 can execute a linear movement operation of moving between the initial position and the operating position and a tilting operation of moving between the operating position and the tilting position. Then, when the base member 41 performs the tilting motion, the movable body 54 that moves integrally with the base member 41 performs the third motion A and the third motion B classified into the third motion. It is supposed to do.
The third operation A is an operation in which the tip of the main body 55 of the movable body 54 approaches the display portion 17a when the movable body 54 has the second shape (the movable portion 56 is stored) and is in the second position.
The third operation B is an operation in which the movable body 54 has the second shape (the movable portion 56 is stored) and the tip of the main body 55 of the movable body 54 is separated from the display portion 17a at the second position.

Next, each of the action effect patterns P1 to P5 will be specifically described.
The first motion effect pattern P1 is a form in which the movable body 54 performs the first motion A and the first motion B while the base member 41 is maintained at the initial position.
The second motion effect pattern P2 is a form in which the movable body 54 performs the second motion A and the second motion B while the base member 41 is maintained at the initial position.
In the third motion effect pattern P3, the movable member 54 performs the first motion A while the base member 41 moves from the initial position to the operating position, and the base member 41 moves from the operating position to the initial position while moving the movable member. 54 is a mode for performing the first operation B.
In the fourth motion effect pattern P4, the movable member 54 performs the second operation A while the base member 41 moves from the initial position to the operating position, and the base member 41 moves from the operating position to the initial position while moving the movable member. 54 is a mode for performing the second operation B.
The fifth motion effect pattern P5 is movable by moving the base member 41 from the initial position to the operating position while the movable body 54 performs the second motion A, and moving the base member 41 from the operating position to the tilting position. The body 54 performs the third operation A, and the base member 41 moves from the tilted position to the operating position, whereby the movable body 54 performs the third operation B, and the base member 41 moves from the operating position to the initial position. In the meanwhile, the movable body 54 performs the second operation B.

In the pachinko machine 10, depending on the operation effect patterns P1 to P5 executed by the movable effect device M, the operation effect pattern P1 is different so that the reliability of a big hit game (hit game) is different after the end of the symbol variation effect. The appearance rate of P5 is set. In the embodiment, the jackpot game is given in the order of the first action effect pattern P1, the second action effect pattern P2, the third action effect pattern P3, the fourth action effect pattern P4, and the fifth action effect pattern P5. The reliability is set to be high. That is, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the reliability of the fifth motion effect pattern P5 is “highest”, the reliability of the fourth motion effect pattern P4 is “high”, and the reliability of the third motion effect pattern P3 is high. "Medium", the reliability of the second motion effect pattern P2 is set to "low", and the reliability of the first motion effect pattern P1 is set to "lowest". In addition, the reliability that the big hit game is given is the total appearance rate that is the sum of the appearance rate when the big hit game (hit game) is given and the appearance rate when the big hit game is not given (is out of sync) , Shows the ratio of the appearance rate when the jackpot game is given. That is, the reliability of the jackpot game is increased as the ratio of the appearance rate when the jackpot game is given to the overall appearance rate is higher. Then, the appearance rate for setting the reliability of the jackpot game can be defined by the distribution mode (distribution number) of the operation effect pattern lottery determination values that are distributed to each operation effect pattern. ..

Here, in the effect control CPU 81a, as the operation effect pattern determination random number used in the lottery of the effect effect patterns, all 101 integer values of "0" to "100" are set in the embodiment, and the predetermined random values are set. It is updated one by one in a cycle (4 ms). Further, the effect control pattern lottery determination value used for the lottery of the action effect pattern is stored in the effect control ROM 81b, and the action effect pattern lottery determination value is "0" which can be a random number for the action effect pattern determination. Up to “100”, a predetermined number of determination values are set for each motion effect pattern from all 101 integers. Further, the distribution of the determination values for the action effect pattern lottery is set to be different depending on whether the result of the big hit determination is positive (hit) or negative (falls off). FIG. 18 shows an action effect pattern distribution lottery table T1 when the result of the big hit determination is positive (hit) and a motion effect pattern distribution lottery table T2 when the result of the big hit determination is negative (out). In each of the sorting lottery tables T1 and T2, 101 operation action pattern lottery determination values are assigned to each action effect pattern, so that the reliability of the jackpot game of each action effect pattern is given as described above. It is supposed to be regulated.

That is, in the motion production pattern distribution lottery table T1, 55 motion production pattern lottery determination values “0” to “54” are distributed to the fifth motion production pattern P5, and “55” is allocated to the fourth motion production pattern P4. 16 types of motion effect pattern lottery determination values of ~70 are distributed, 12 types of motion effect pattern lottery determination values of 71~82 are distributed to the third motion effect pattern P3, and second 10 different action effect pattern lottery determination values “83” to “92” are distributed to the action effect pattern P2, and 8 different action effect pattern lottery values “93” to “100” are assigned to the first action effect pattern P1. The judgment value is distributed.

On the other hand, in the motion effect pattern distribution lottery table T2, four motion effect pattern lottery determination values of "0" to "3" are distributed to the fifth motion effect pattern P5, and the fourth motion effect pattern P4 has " 8 types of action effect pattern lottery determination values of 5" to "12" are distributed, and 12 types of action effect pattern lottery determination values of "13" to "24" are assigned to the third action effect pattern P3. Twenty-four types of motion effect pattern lottery determination values “25” to “48” are distributed to the second action effect pattern P2, and 52 action effect patterns of “49” to “100” are assigned to the first action effect pattern P1. The lottery determination values are distributed.

As described above, regarding the distribution of the determination values for the action effect pattern lottery when the result of the jackpot determination is affirmative, the fifth action effect pattern P5, the fourth action effect pattern P4, the third action effect pattern P3, and the second action effect. Regarding the distribution of the judgment values for the motion effect pattern lottery when the result of the big hit judgment is negative, the number of distributions of the judgment values for the motion effect pattern lottery is reduced in the order of the pattern P2 and the first motion effect pattern P1. By increasing the distribution number of the determination values for the action effect pattern lottery in the order of the action effect pattern P5, the fourth action effect pattern P4, the third action effect pattern P3, the second action effect pattern P2, and the first action effect pattern P1. , The reliability to which the big hit game is given when each action effect pattern is executed by the movable effect device M, the first action effect pattern P1, the second action effect pattern P2, the third action effect pattern P3, the fourth action The effect pattern P4 and the fifth action effect pattern P5 are set to be higher in this order. Specifically, for example, when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative (hit), the fifth action effect pattern P5 is most easily selected, and when the result of the big hit determination is negative (out), the fifth action effect pattern P5 is selected. Is configured to be the most difficult to select, so when the fifth motion effect pattern P5 is executed by the movable effect device M, the reliability of the jackpot game being provided is high. On the other hand, when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative (hit), the first action effect pattern P1 is the most difficult to select, and when the result of the big hit determination is negative (out), the first action effect pattern P1 is the most selected. Since it is configured easily, when the first motion effect pattern P1 is executed by the movable effect device M, the reliability of the jackpot game is reduced.

(About display effect pattern)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the effect control ROM 81b, the display content of the display effect performed on the display device 17 is displayed in correspondence with the plurality of motion effect patterns P1 to P5 that can be executed by the movable effect device M. Display effect patterns R1 to R5 (see FIG. 19) to be specified are stored. Then, when one action effect pattern is determined by lottery of the action effect patterns, the effect control CPU 81a outputs a display effect pattern designation command corresponding to the action effect pattern to the display control CPU 82a, and the display control CPU 82a, When a display effect pattern designation command is input, control is performed so that an image of effect contents based on display data corresponding to the display effect pattern is displayed on the display unit 17a of the display device 17. In the embodiment, the case where one display effect pattern R1 to R5 is set for each operation effect pattern P1 to P5 will be described, but the operation effect pattern and the display effect pattern do not have a one-to-one relationship, but one operation. It is possible to set a plurality of types of display effect patterns having different forms selectable for the effect pattern.

Next, each of the display effect patterns R1 to R5 will be specifically described.
In the first display effect pattern R1, an image related to the movement of the movable body 54 moving between the first position and the second position while maintaining the first shape on the right end side of the display unit 17a is displayed on the display unit 17a. In addition to being displayed on the whole, a decoration image 85 for decorating the periphery of the movable body 54 is set to be displayed on the display unit 17a. The decoration image 85 in the first display effect pattern R1 is displayed on the display unit 17a so as to move correspondingly to the movement of the movable body 54 between the first position and the second position. Note that the decoration image 85 displayed on the display unit 17a in the first display effect pattern R1 has the same form as the decoration image 85 in the third display effect pattern R3 described later, and the display unit according to the moving position of the movable body 54. Only the display position in 17a is different.

The second display effect pattern R2 is an operation in which the movable body 54 moves between the first position and the second position while changing the shape between the first shape and the second shape on the right end side of the display unit 17a. The image related to is displayed in the area where the movable body 54 moves in the display unit 17a. More specifically, in the second motion effect pattern P2, as the shape changes from the first shape in which the movable portion 56 projects to the second shape in which the movable portion 56 is submerged in the main body 55, The first specific image 86 in which the movable portion 56 is in the protruding state is moved and displayed on the display unit 17a in accordance with the movement of the movable body 54, and the movable body 54 moves while maintaining the first shape on the display unit 17a. It is set to look like it is doing. The image specified by the second display effect pattern R2 is set so that not only the movable portion 56 but also the image corresponding to the main body portion 55 is displayed so as to overlap the main body portion 55.

[Operation of Example]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine according to the above-described embodiment will be described.

When the player rotationally operates the operation lever 16a of the operation handle 16 provided on the front surface side of the front frame 13, the pachinko ball launched from the ball launching device is launched into the game area 21 of the game board 20. .. The pachinko ball that has been hit in the game area 21 flows down around the outer periphery of the frame-shaped ornament 24, and when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning part 25 (first starting winning opening 25a), The detection signal from the 1-start winning detection sensor 29 is input to the main control CPU 80a, and the main control CPU 80a reads the value of the big hit determination random number from the main control ROM 80b and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 80c. Then, the main control CPU 80a compares the value of the random number for jackpot determination stored in the main control RAM 80c with the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 80b before starting the symbol variation game, and determines whether or not it is a jackpot. The big hit judgment (hit judgment) is performed.

The main control CPU80a determines a big hit when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for big hit determination coincides with the big hit determination value). The main control CPU 80a, which has determined the big hit, reads a random number for symbol determination from the main control RAM 80c, determines a symbol previously associated with the value as a big jack symbol, and stores information indicating the determined symbol type in the main control RAM 80c. To do. Then, the main control CPU 80a determines a variation pattern for the jackpot derivation effect depending on the type of the symbol, and outputs a control command corresponding to the determined variation pattern for the jackpot derivation effect at a predetermined timing in the effect control board 81 (effect control. It is output to the CPU 81a). In addition, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 80a determines the deviation and also determines the selected variation pattern for the deviation effect. The control command corresponding to the determined variation pattern for the stray effect is output to the staging control board 81 (staging control CPU 81a) at a predetermined timing.

When the effect control CPU 81a inputs a change pattern designating command corresponding to the change pattern for the big hit derivation effect or the change pattern for the outlying effect, the effect control CPU 81a determines whether or not to execute the movable body effect by the movable effect device M. Whether or not the body effect can be executed is determined. That is, the effect control CPU 81a obtains the executability determination random number when the variation pattern designating command is input, and uses the value of the obtained executability determination random number for the executability determination of the movable body effect. It is determined whether or not to execute the movable body effect by comparing with the execution propriety determination value set in the table.

When it is determined in the execution availability determination that the movable body effect is to be executed, the effect control CPU 81a determines one action effect pattern from a plurality of types of action effect patterns P1 to P5, and the determined action. The effect pattern is executed during the symbol variation effect. Specifically, when the big hit determination in the main control CPU 80a is affirmative (hit) and the execution possibility determination is affirmative, the effect control CPU 81a inputs a variation pattern designating command corresponding to the variation pattern for the big hit derivation effect. When the action effect pattern determination random number is acquired, the value of the obtained action effect pattern determination random number is set in the action effect pattern distribution lottery table T1 (FIG. 18). One of the action effect patterns P1 to P5 is determined by comparison with the value. If the jackpot determination in the main control CPU 80a is negative (out), and the execution possibility determination is affirmative, the effect control CPU 81a, when the variation pattern designating command corresponding to the variation pattern for the out effect is input. While obtaining the random number for motion effect pattern determination, the value of the obtained random number for motion effect pattern determination is compared with the motion effect pattern lottery determination value set in the motion effect pattern distribution lottery table T2 (FIG. 18). Thus, one of the action effect patterns P1 to P5 is determined.

When the effect control pattern is determined, the effect control CPU 81a controls the drive motors 48 and 69 of the movable effect control device M based on the determined action effect pattern to move the movable body 54 or the base member in the determined action effect pattern. 41 is operated. Further, the effect control CPU 81a outputs the display effect command of the display effect pattern corresponding to the determined motion effect pattern to the display control board 82. Then, the display control CPU 82a controls the display device 17 to display an image based on the display data corresponding to the input display effect command on the display unit 17a.

For example, when the first motion effect pattern P1 is determined as the motion effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a does not drive the first drive motor 48 but maintains the base member 41 at the initial position while performing the second drive. The motor 69 is drive-controlled to rotate clockwise. When the switching gear 78 rotates clockwise from the reference position, the non-meshing region N1 of the switching gear 78 moves on the facing portion of the connecting gear 75 (see FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b)), The movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position under the engagement action of the operation pin 70a of the second operation gear 70 and the operation elongated hole 57b of the rotation base 57 without rotating the connecting gear 75. To do. That is, the movable portion 56 moves from the first position to the second position while maintaining the protruding state with respect to the main body portion 55 of the movable body 54. Then, by stopping the second drive motor 69 that has moved the movable body 54 to the second position and controlling the drive of the second drive motor 69 to rotate counterclockwise, the movable body 54 maintains the first shape. Move to the 1st position as it is. Further, on the display unit 17a, the image specified by the first display effect pattern R1 is displayed on the entire display unit 17a, and the decoration image 85 is displayed around the movable body 54, so that the interest of the effect is improved. To be done.

When the second motion effect pattern P2 is determined as the motion effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a maintains the base member 41 at the initial position without driving the first drive motor 48, and then the second drive motor. The drive control is performed so that 69 is rotated counterclockwise. When the switching gear 78 rotates counterclockwise from the reference position, the meshing region N2 of the switching gear 78 moves on the facing portion of the connecting gear 75 (see FIGS. 10A and 10C). When the gears 75 and 78 mesh with each other and the connecting gear 75 rotates, the gear train 74 rotates, and the movable portion 56 main body moves under the meshing action of the terminal gear 74b and the second rack 64a. It moves so as to be immersed in the part 55. Further, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position under the engagement of the operation pin 70a of the second operation gear 70 and the operation elongated hole 57b of the rotation base 57. That is, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while changing its shape from the first shape in which the movable portion 56 projects to the second shape in which the movable portion 56 is submerged in the main body portion 55. The movable body 54 is moved from the second shape to the first shape by stopping the second drive motor 69 that has moved the movable body 54 to the second position and controlling the drive of the second drive motor 69 to rotate clockwise. The shape moves to the first position while changing the shape. Further, on the display unit 17a, the first specific image 86 specified by the second display effect pattern R2 is displayed in the region where the movable unit 56 of the display unit 17a moves back and forth, and the enjoyment of the effect is improved.

Further, when the third motion effect pattern P3 is determined as the motion effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a rotationally drives the first drive motor 48 in the normal rotation direction to move the base member 41 from the initial position to the operating position. While moving, the drive control is performed so that the second drive motor 69 rotates clockwise. In this case, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while maintaining the first shape, and the movable body 54 moves to the center side of the display unit 17a (see FIG. 13). Then, the first drive motor 48 that has moved the base member 41 to the operating position is stopped, the first drive motor 48 is drive-controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the movable body 54 is moved to the second position. By stopping the drive motor 69 and controlling the drive of the second drive motor 69 so as to rotate it in the counterclockwise direction, the base member 41 moves to the initial position, and the movable body 54 maintains the first shape while maintaining the first shape. Move to position 1. Further, on the display unit 17a, the image specified by the third display effect pattern R3 is displayed on the entire display unit 17a, and the decoration image 85 is displayed around the movable body 54, so that the interest of the effect is improved. To be done.

When the fourth motion effect pattern P4 is determined as the motion effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a rotationally drives the first drive motor 48 in the normal rotation direction to move the base member 41 from the initial position to the operating position. While moving, the drive control is performed so that the second drive motor 69 rotates counterclockwise. When the switching gear 78 rotates counterclockwise from the reference position, the switching gear 78 meshes with the connecting gear 75 to rotate, and thus the connecting gear 75 rotates, thereby rotating the gear train 74. Then, the movable portion 56 moves so as to be submerged in the main body portion 55 under the meshing action of the terminal gear 74b and the second rack 64a. Further, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position under the engagement of the operation pin 70a of the second operation gear 70 and the operation elongated hole 57b of the rotation base 57. That is, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while changing its shape from the first shape in which the movable portion 56 projects to the second shape in which the movable portion 56 is submerged in the main body portion 55, and The movable body 54 moves to the center side of the display unit 17a (see FIG. 14). Then, the first drive motor 48 that has moved the base member 41 to the operating position is stopped, the first drive motor 48 is drive-controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the movable body 54 is moved to the second position. By stopping the drive motor 69 and controlling the drive of the second drive motor 69 to rotate clockwise, the base member 41 moves to the initial position, and the movable body 54 changes from the second shape to the first shape. Moves to the first position while changing. Further, on the display unit 17a, the first specific image 86 specified by the fourth display effect pattern R4 is displayed in an area in which the movable unit 56 of the display unit 17a moves forward and backward, and the interest of the effect is improved.

Furthermore, when the fifth motion effect pattern P5 is determined as the motion effect pattern, the effect control CPU 81a rotationally drives the first drive motor 48 in the forward rotation direction as in the case of the fourth motion effect pattern P4. The base member 41 is moved from the initial position to the operating position, and the second drive motor 69 is drive-controlled to rotate counterclockwise. Thereby, the movable body 54 moves from the first position to the second position while the movable portion 56 moves so as to be submerged in the main body portion 55 and the shape changes from the first shape to the second shape. It moves to the center side of the display unit 17a. Then, when the base member 41 reaches the operating position and the movable body 54 reaches the second position in the second shape, the second drive motor 69 is stopped, and the first drive motor 48 further moves in the forward direction. By being rotationally driven, the operating shaft portion 45 of the base member 41 moves from the linear guide portion 40a of the operating groove 40 to the inclined guide portion 40b, and the base member 41 rotates about the support shaft portion 42. Move. As a result, the movable member 54 is also rotated together with the base member 41, and the distal end of the main body 55 is tilted so as to be close to the display unit 17a to be in the front-back tilted posture (see FIG. 15). The first drive motor 48 that has moved the base member 41 to the tilted position is stopped, the first drive motor 48 is drive-controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, and the second drive motor 69 is drive-controlled to rotate clockwise. By doing so, the base member 41 moves to the initial position, and the movable body 54 moves to the first position while changing its shape from the second shape to the first shape. Further, while the movable body 54 moves between the initial position and the operating position, the first specific image 86 specified by the fifth display effect pattern R5 is a region in which the movable portion 56 of the display unit 17a moves back and forth. Displayed in. Then, the second specific image 87 is displayed on the display unit 17a in accordance with the movement of the movable body 54 from the second position to the front-rear tilted posture, so that the entertainment of interest is improved.

Since the movable body 54 is configured to perform the moving second action, the interest of the action effect is improved. Further, since the first operation and the second operation of the movable body 54 can be switched by only changing the rotation direction of the second drive motor 69, the drive source for performing each operation is different. Control and structure can be simplified. That is, since the different operation of the movable body 54 is configured to be executed by the single drive motor 69, the control becomes simple. Further, since the operation mode of the movable body 54 can be switched by simply changing the rotation direction of the second drive motor 69, the control for changing the operation mode of the movable body 54 becomes easier.

Further, in the second operation of the movable body 54, the length of the movable body 54 that swings between the right end side and the center side of the display unit 17a of the display device 17 changes on the front side of the display unit 17a. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the motion effect by the second motion of the movable body 54, as compared with the form in which the movable body 54 simply swings without changing its shape.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, unlike the first and second operations in which the movable body 54 moves along the display portion 17a, the movable body 54 moves in the front-rear direction with respect to the display portion 17a in the third direction. Since it is configured such that the action can be performed, the interest of the action effect can be further improved. That is, the pattern of the motion effect is diversified such that the movable body 54 moves on the front side of the display unit 17a while the shape of the movable body 54 changes or does not change, and the relationship with the image displayed on the display unit 17a also diversifies. The interest of can be improved. In addition, the fun can be further enhanced by a novel motion effect with a sense of depth in which the movable body 54 is moved in the front-rear direction intersecting the display unit 17a. When the movable body 54 having a shape imitating the tip of a spear is adopted as in the embodiment, the second specific image 87 related to the movement of the tip of the movable body 54 approaching the display unit 17a is displayed. By displaying on the display unit 17a, it is possible to improve the interest of the effect by combining the operation of the movable body 54 and the image.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a big hit game is given after the symbol variation effect depending on the types of the action effect patterns P1 to P5 performed by the movable effect device M during the symbol variation effect on the display device 17. Since the reliability is different, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the type of operation of the movable body 54.

In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the form of the image displayed on the display unit 17a is configured to be different according to the operation form of the movable body 54 that moves on the front side of the display unit 17a in the display device 17. The interest of the effect can be improved by the combination of the operation of #1 and the image displayed on the display unit 17a. That is, on the front side of the display unit 17a, it is possible to cause the movable body 54 to perform different types of first operation and second operation, and the display unit 17a can display the type of operation performed by the movable body 54. Since the images to be displayed are configured to be different, it is possible to increase the variation of the effect patterns of the combination of the display effect and the motion effect, and to enhance the interest.

When the movable body 54 performs the second operation of changing the shape from the first shape to the second shape, the display unit 17a displays the first specific image 86 corresponding to the changed portion of the movable body 54. Therefore, by combining the movable body 54 and the first specific image 86, the interest of the effect can be improved. In addition, the movable body 54 is displayed in response to a third operation different from the first and second operations, that is, an operation in which the tip of the movable body 54 (the end of the main body 55) approaches the display unit 17a. At the corresponding position of the portion 17a, the second specific image 87 in which the fan is cut by the spear imitated by the movable body 54 in relation to the third movement of the movable body 54 is displayed. Can be further improved.
