In the pachinko gaming machine 1, stick controller 31A and push button 31B are provided as detection means for detecting the movement (operation, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area 10 by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player on the ball striking operation handle 30. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the period during which the previous normal drawing game is being executed (when the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 but the normal drawing game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately). , The game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (design per normal symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the normal symbol (the normal symbol lost symbol) is stopped and displayed as the confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "normal symbol lost". When it becomes "per normal drawing", the opening control is performed so that the normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed or during the period controlled by the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (the start prize has occurred). If the special figure game based on the start winning cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a jackpot symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes "small hit". Further, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit game state as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes "small hit", it is controlled to the small hit game state.

In the big hit game state, the player can obtain the prize ball by letting the game ball enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

A jackpot type is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit game state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., which will be described later) are prepared, and the big hit is made according to these. The type is set. As the jackpot type, a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained or a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained may be provided.

In the small hit game state, the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the same opening mode as the big hit game state in some big hit types (the number of times the big winning opening is opened is the same as the number of rounds, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same. Etc.), the big winning opening becomes open. As with the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

After the jackpot game state is completed, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability change state according to the jackpot type.

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time saving state, the average fluctuation time of the normal map (the period during which the normal map is changed) is shortened from the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal map hit" in the normal map game is improved from the normal state. Controls (high opening control, high base control) that make it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening are also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

In the probability variation state (probability fluctuation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability variation control in which the probability that the display result becomes a "big hit" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The probabilistic state is a state that is more advantageous for the player because it is a state in which a “big hit” is likely to occur in addition to improving the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol.

The time saving state and the probability change state continue until any one of the end conditions such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit game state are satisfied first. A game whose end condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also referred to as a number cut (time cut time reduction, number cut probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probability change state, which is advantageous for the player, and the display result in the normal drawing game is "normal drawing hit". The pachinko game machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on, such as the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as (when the process is not executed).

The state in which the probability change control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which the probability change control is not executed is also called a low probability state. The state in which the time saving control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time saving control is not executed is also called a low base state. By combining these, the time saving state is also called the low accuracy high base state, the probability variation state is called the high accuracy high base state, and the normal state is also called the low accuracy low base state. The high-accuracy state and low-base state are also called the high-accuracy low-base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). It is not necessary that there is a "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

The game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit game state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, it may be controlled to a probabilistic state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, and in addition to or instead of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or the game effect lamp 9 It may be performed by turning on / off the points, etc., and operating the movable body of the movable effect device 400, which will be described later.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first special figure game or the first 2 In response to the start of the special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the final decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols) that is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed. ) Is also displayed (derived) as a stop.

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display of a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. It is a mode in which is continuing.

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration). The display result of the variable display of the symbol is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". ..

In the case of a "probability change jackpot" that is controlled to a probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and displayed as a stop, and the probability change state is entered after the end of the jackpot game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", an even number of decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be aligned and displayed as a stop. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a probabilistic symbol, and the even-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol). After the non-probability change symbol becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability change jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", a fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example," "is a predetermined small hit combination as a display result of variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. 1 3 5 ”etc.) Is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a“ small hit ”). As an example, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state), and when it becomes "small hit". , A common fixed decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the variable display result of the decorative symbol is a fixed decorative symbol of a non-reach combination ("" (Also referred to as "non-reach loss") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "missing", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination ("reach loss") that is not a jackpot combination. The fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "reach loss").

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution and a look-ahead notice effect for notifying the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the look-ahead notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

Further, in the image display device 5, one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display. The pseudo-continuous production may be executed.

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type in the big hit game state having the same mode as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a high accuracy state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the player is currently in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high accuracy state and the low accuracy state. You may.

Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demo effect is executed).

(Progress of games, progress of production, etc.)
A game medium (game ball) is launched toward the game area 10 by a player's rotation operation on the ball striking operation handle included in the pachinko game machine 1.

(Progress of the game controlled by the main board 11)
When the game ball flowing down the game area 10 passes through the passing gate 41, the normal drawing game (variable display of the normal symbol) is started. In addition, when the normal map game cannot be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as when another normal map game is already executed or during the following open control, the normal map game is limited to four or the like. Execution is suspended. The held Fuzu game is executed when the start condition for starting the Fuzu game is satisfied (other Fuzu games are not executed, the release control is not in progress, etc.). When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 when the number of reserved memory of the normal figure has reached the upper limit, the number of stored memory of the normal figure does not increase and the passage is invalidated.

The variable display result that is stopped and displayed in the normal figure game includes a normal figure per symbol (for example, a normal figure such as "7") and a normal figure lost symbol (for example, a normal figure such as "-"). .. When the symbol per normal figure is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "per normal figure". When the normal figure lost symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "normal figure lost".

At the time of "normal drawing hit", the opening control (the second starting winning opening is opened) is performed so that the movable wing piece of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is set to the tilting position for a predetermined period. The opening control is not performed when the "normal figure is lost".

When the game ball that has flowed down the game area 10 enters the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first special figure game is started. Further, when the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the second special figure game is started. When the special figure game cannot be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as when another special figure game is already running or when the game is controlled to the jackpot game state described later, four of each are used. The execution of the special figure game is suspended up to the upper limit. The reserved special figure game is executed when the start condition for starting the special figure game is satisfied (other special figure games are not executed, the jackpot game is not in progress, etc.).

When the game ball enters the first start winning opening when the first special figure reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value, the first special figure reserved memory number does not increase and the entry is invalidated (the entry is invalidated). There may be a prize ball). When the game ball enters the second start winning opening when the second special figure reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value, the second special figure reserved memory number does not increase and the entry is invalidated (the entry is invalidated). There may be a prize ball).

The entry (winning) of the game ball into the first starting winning opening, which increases the number of reserved memories of the first special figure, is also called the first starting winning. 2nd special figure The entry (winning) of a game ball that increases the number of reserved memories into the 2nd start winning opening is also called the 2nd starting winning. These prizes are collectively referred to as the start prize.

The variable display result that is stopped and displayed in the special figure game includes a jackpot symbol (for example, a special symbol such as "3" and "7") and a lost symbol (for example, a special symbol such as "-"). .. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "big hit". When the lost symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "missed".

When the variable display result of the first special figure game or the second special figure game is "big hit" (specific display result), it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. When the variable display result is "missing", it is not controlled to the jackpot game state.

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened. The open state is until the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9), whichever is earlier. Will be continued. Such an open state is called a round game (also simply called a "round"). In the jackpot game state, the round game is repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, "15 times") is reached (the jackpot is closed during a period other than the round game).

For "big hit", big hit types such as "non-probable change" and "probable change" are set. When the jackpot type is "non-probability change", the jackpot symbol of "3" is stopped and displayed. When the jackpot type is "probability change", the jackpot symbol of "7" is stopped and displayed.

The "big hit" when the jackpot type is "probability variation" may be referred to as "probability variation jackpot", and the "big hit" when the jackpot type is "non-probability variation" may be referred to as "non-probability variation jackpot". In addition, the jackpot game state based on the "probability change jackpot" may be referred to as the "probability variation jackpot game state". In addition, the jackpot game state based on the "non-probability change jackpot" may be referred to as the "non-probability variation jackpot game state".

Probability change After the big hit game state is finished, the probability that the variable display result becomes "big hit" (big hit probability) is controlled to be higher than the normal state. The probabilistic state continues until the next jackpot game state is started.

After the probabilistic jackpot gaming state or the non-probabilistic jackpot gaming state ends, the average variable display time (variable display period) is controlled to be shorter than the normal state. In the time saving state, the end condition of either one of the predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) of the special figure game being executed and the next big hit game state being started is satisfied first. Continue until you do.

In the time saving state, the normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened and closed in an advantageous change mode in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second starting winning opening than in the non-time saving state such as the normal state. It may be changed to. For example, control to make the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the normal figure game (the period of variable display of the normal figure, also called the normal figure fluctuation time) shorter than in the normal state, or variable display in each normal figure game. The normal variable winning ball device 6B may be changed between the open state and the closed state in an advantageous change mode by controlling to improve the probability that the result will be "per normal figure" as compared with the normal state. Such control is referred to as high open control (also referred to as "time saving control" or "high base control"). By being controlled to such a time saving state, the time required until the next variable display result becomes a "big hit" is shortened, and the gaming state becomes a state more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

The normal state is a gaming state other than an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probabilistic variation state, and the variable display result in the normal drawing game is "normal drawing". The pachinko game machine 1 such as the probability of becoming a "hit" and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" is in the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as (when the predetermined return processing is not executed after the closing).

The time saving state is also called "high base", and the gaming state that is not the time saving state is also called "low base" or "non-time saving state". The probabilistic state is also called "high probability", and the gaming state that is not the probabilistic state is also called "low probability" or "non-probability change".

(Progress of the game controlled by the effect control board 12)
In the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the second special figure game is started. Then, the variable display of the decorative pattern (this is also a kind of production) is started. At the timing when the variable display result (also referred to as the fixed special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the fixed decorative symbol (variable display result) that becomes the variable display display result of the decorative symbol (variable display result) The combination of the three decorative symbols) is also displayed as a stop (derivative display).

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later (“reach variation”). (Also referred to as "design") is a display mode in which fluctuations are continuing.

Further, in this embodiment, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display. As the reach effect, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B, which have different production modes, are prepared. In this embodiment, the jackpot expectation is higher in the order of Super Reach B> Super Reach A> Normal Reach.

The jackpot expectation is, for example, the ratio at which the variable display result of the special figure game becomes a "big hit", and here, the percentage at which the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a "big hit".

When the variable display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. (The display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbol on a predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" (for example, "7" at the time of probability variation jackpot, non-probability variation jackpot" At the time of, "6" etc.) are all displayed as a stop.

When the variable display result is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol does not become the reach mode, and the fixed decorative symbol of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. There is. When the variable display result is "missing", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination ("reach loss combination") that is not a jackpot combination. ”) May be stopped and displayed.

The effect control CPU 120 is capable of executing various game-related effects such as variable display control of decorative patterns and advance notice effects based on the effect control commands (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. ..

As the notice effect to be executed by the effect control CPU 120 during the variable display of the decorative symbol, for example, a big hit notice effect suggesting the possibility of a big hit, a reach notice suggesting whether or not to reach, and a stop symbol are used. Multiple notices to be executed at the start of variable display or when reach is established, such as a stop symbol notice to be announced and a latent notice to announce whether or not the game state is in a probability fluctuation state (whether or not it is hidden). Including.

Further, in the present embodiment, as various effects including the above notice, it is possible to execute a movable body effect by the movable body of the movable effect device 400 and a combined effect by the speakers 8L, 8R, and the game effect lamp 9. It should be noted that these various effects are executed, for example, at a predetermined timing during variable display or at a timing when the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B. In the present embodiment, the effect using the movable effect device 400 is executed when the super reach is executed.

Further, since the first guide portion 451A is located in front of the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R and the third guide portion 451C is located in the rear of the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R, the first guide portion 451A is located behind the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R. 1 Guided portions 432L and 432R pass from the first guide portion 451A through the second guide portion 451B and are guided to the third guide portion 451C, so that the movable body 410 is brought together with the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R. 1 Rotates clockwise around the rotation shafts 430L and 430R when viewed from the right side.

Further, the left and right first guide holes 451L and 451R are formed in the same shape, and the left and right first guide portions 451A, second guide portion 451B, third guide portion 451C, and fourth guide portion 451D are located at corresponding positions. It is said to be a relationship. That is, the left and right first movable portions 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate about the first rotating shafts 430L and 430R at the same timing when moving in the vertical direction.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 9 (C) and 10 (A), the second guide holes 452L and 452R formed in the base body 401 have the second guide holes 452L and 452R formed when the movable body 410 moves from the origin position to the intermediate position. 2 The first guide portion 452A that guides the guided portions 442L and 442R in the vertical direction and the second guided portions 442L and 442R that guide the second guided portions 442L and 442R diagonally in the vertical direction when the movable body 410 moves from the intermediate position to the effect position. It is composed of a second guide unit 452B and a second guide unit 452B.

The first guide portion 452A is extended so as to be substantially parallel to the guide shaft 420R, and the second guide portion 452B is extended so as to be inclined in a direction diagonally upwardly intersecting the guide shaft 420R. ..

Further, the first guide portion 452A is located inside the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R, and the second guide portion 452B is inclined in a direction away from the upper end of the first guide portion 452A toward the left and right sides. Therefore, the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided from the first guide portion 452A to the second guide portion 452B, so that the slide members 440L and 440R slide and move toward the left and right sides so as to be separated from each other. Therefore, the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate about the second rotating shafts 416L and 416R.

Further, the left and right second guide holes 452L and 452R are formed in the same shape, and the left and right first guide portions 452A and second guide portions 452B have corresponding positional relationships. That is, the left and right first movable portions 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate about the second rotating shafts 416L and 416R at the same timing when moving in the vertical direction.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D, the first guide holes 451L and 451R and the second guide holes 452L and 452R are used while the movable body 410 moves from the origin position to the intermediate position. The first guided portions 432L and 432R are guided to the first guide portions 451A of the first guide holes 451L and 451R, and the second guided portions 442L are guided to the first guide portions 452A of the second guide holes 452L and 452R. When the 442R is guided and the movable body 410 moves from the intermediate position to the effect position, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are guided to the second guide portions 451B of the first guide holes 451L and 451R, and the second guided portions 432L and 432R are guided. The second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided to the second guide portions 452B of the guide holes 452L and 452R.

(Operation mode of movable body 410)
Next, the operation mode of the movable body 410 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12. 10A and 10B are a schematic rear view showing a state in which the movable body is in the origin position, and FIG. 10B is a schematic side view showing a state in which the movable body is in the origin position. 11A and 11B are a schematic rear view showing a state in which the movable body has passed the intermediate position, and FIG. 11B is a schematic side view showing a state in which the movable body has passed the intermediate position. 12A and 12B are a schematic rear view showing a state in which the movable body is in the effect position, and FIG. 12B is a schematic side view showing a state in which the movable body is in the effect position.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the movable body 410 is located at the origin position, the moving bodies 425L and 425R are located below the guide shafts 420L and 420R. Further, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are located at the lower ends of the first guide holes 451L and 451R, and the second guided portions 442L and 442R are located at the lower ends of the second guide holes 452L and 452R. Further, in the movable body 410, in the rear view (front view), the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are centered on the second rotation shafts 416L and 416R, and the inner end portion on the third movable portion 410C side is outside. The third movable portion 410C is tilted so as to be located below the end portion, and the left and right third rotating shafts 415L and 415R are located substantially on the horizontal line. The movable portion 410R and the third movable portion 410C are in the first state in which they stand up substantially vertically.

In this way, the movable body 410 has a first movable portion 410L whose left end is rotatably supported around a second rotating shaft 416L facing in the front-rear direction with respect to the moving body 425L on the left side, and a moving body 425R on the right side. The second movable portion 410R whose right end is rotatably supported around the second rotating shaft 416R facing in the front-rear direction, and the right end of the first movable portion 410L and the left end of the second movable portion 410R are the first. It is composed of a third movable portion 410C pivotally supported via the three rotating shafts 415L and 415R. That is, the third movable portion 410C is supported in a state of being suspended and supported by the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R, which are supported by the separate moving bodies 425L and 425R, respectively, and in the first state, the third movable portion 410C is supported. , It is bent upward in a "<" shape when viewed from the back (front view).

Here, the moving bodies 425L and 425R are raised by rotating the guide shafts 420L and 420R in the first direction by the elevating motors 421L and 421R. While the movable body 410 moves from the origin position to the intermediate position in response to the ascent of the moving bodies 425L and 425R, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are moved up by the first guide portions 451A of the first guide holes 451L and 451R. Since the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided in the direction and the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided upward by the first guide portion 452A of the second guide holes 452L and 452R, the movable body 410 is guided by the first rotating shafts 430L and 430R and the like. It rises while maintaining the standing posture without rotating around the second rotation shafts 416L and 416R.

When the first guided portions 432L and 432R pass through the fourth guide portion 451D of the first guide holes 451L and 451R, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are slightly guided backward and upward. As the movable body 410 rotates around the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R, the upper part of the movable body 410 is slightly tilted backward.

In this way, by slightly tilting the upper part of the movable body 410 backward while ascending in the first state of the standing posture, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are moved by the second guide portion 451B as described later. By being guided backward, the impact when the movable body 410 starts rotating can be suppressed.

Further, for example, in the case of performing a fanning operation of reciprocating the movable body 410 between the origin position and the intermediate position in a notice effect or the like, the first guided portions 432L and 432R pass through the fourth guide portion 451D. By moving the movable body 410 up and down, the movable body 410 can be slightly rotated back and forth around the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R while being moved up and down, so that the movement can be complicated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11, while the movable body 410 moves from the intermediate position to the effect position, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are moved backward and upward by the second guide portions 451B of the first guide holes 451L and 451R. The first guided portions 432L and 432R rotate clockwise around the first rotating shafts 430L and 430R in response to the guidance to the first rotating shafts 430L and 430R. It rotates clockwise when viewed from the right side. Then, the connecting members 417L and 417R rotate together with the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R, so that the movable body 410 rotates clockwise around the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R. Then, the upper part tilts backward.

On the other hand, the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided diagonally upward by the second guide portions 452B of the second guide holes 452L and 452R, so that the left and right slide members 440L and 440R each have the first rotation shaft 430L. , 430R slides outward. Then, by sliding the left and right slide members 440L and 440R in the directions away from each other, the second rotation shaft 416L of the first movable portion 410L and the second rotation of the second movable portion 410R are performed via the connecting members 417L and 417R. The shaft 416R and the shaft 416R are separated from each other.

Here, since the left and right first movable portions 410L and the second movable portion 410R are connected by the third movable portion 410C, they are pulled in directions away from each other to center the second rotating shafts 416L and 416R. As a result, the end portion on the third movable portion 410C side rotates so as to move upward, and the first movable portion 410L, the second movable portion 410R, and the third movable portion 410C change from the bent state to the extended state. As a result, the third movable portion 410C moves upward with respect to the moving bodies 425L and 425R.

In this way, the left and right first movable portions 410L and the second movable portion 410R are slide members 440L having the second guided portions 442L and 442R guided by the second guide portions 452B of the second guide holes 452L and 452R. When pulled by the 440R in a direction away from each other, the second guide portion 452B is subjected to a force for lifting the third movable portion 410C upward with respect to the moving bodies 425L and 425R. The second guided portions 442L and 442R are strongly pressed against the inner edge portion, but the slide members 440L and 440R are urged outward (in the direction in which the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided) by the compression spring 442, respectively. As a result, the friction generated between the second guide holes 452L and 452R and the second guided portions 442L and 442R can be reduced, so that the lifting motors 421L and 421R can be suppressed from being applied during the vertical movement.

Further, since the interlocking gear portion 412L of the first movable portion 410L and the interlocking gear portion 412R of the second movable portion 410R are meshed with each other, the rotational power of one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R is increased. Is directly transmitted to the other without passing through the third movable portion 410C, and the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are interlocked with each other. It can be smoothly rotated around the rotation shafts 416L and 416R.

The first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are second to the third movable portion 410C because the other is interlocked with one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R. Since the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are interlocked so as to rotate at the same or substantially the same angle around the three rotating shafts 415L and 415R, the third movable portion 410C rotates left and right third. The shafts 415L and 415R are lifted upward by the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R while maintaining the horizontal standing posture.

The movable body 410 is pivotally supported by the moving bodies 425L and 425R in which the left and right first movable parts 410L and the second movable parts 410R are moved up and down by separate lifting motors 421L and 421R, and the third movable part 410C is Since one ends of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are pivotally supported by the two third rotating shafts 415L and 415R provided apart from each other on the left and right, the third movable portion 410C can be stabilized. On the other hand, when the left and right moving bodies 425L and 425R are moved together, the effect control CPU 120 synchronizes the drive control of the left and right elevating motors 421L and 421R.

Therefore, for example, one of the drive control timings may be slightly delayed from the other for some reason, or the first guided portion 432L, 432R, the second guided portion 442L, 442R or the moving body 425L, 425R may be caught. When the timing at which the left and right first guided portions 432L and 432R are guided to the second guide portion 451B is shifted and one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotates faster than the other. When one of the left and right third rotation shafts 415L and 415R of the third movable portion 410C moves upward from the other, one of the left and right sides of the third movable portion 410C is tilted downward.

However, even when one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotates faster than the other as described above, the first guided portions 432L, 432R and the second guided portions 442L, 442R Since the interlocking gear portions 412L and 412R can interlock the other with one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R, the third movable portion 410C can be tilted to the left or right. It can be moved up so that it does not exist.

That is, the interlocking gear portion 412L of the first movable portion 410L and the interlocking gear portion 412R of the second movable portion 410R are the third movable portion 410C when the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate.

The upper part of the portion 410C is in the second state of being tilted to the rear side.

In this way, when the movable body 410 moves from the intermediate position to the effect position, the first rotating body 410 rotates so that the upper portion tilts backward with respect to the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R in response to the upward movement. While performing the operation, the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate around the second rotating shafts 416L and 416R, so that the third movable portion 410C maintains the posture while the moving body 425L, The second operation of moving upward with respect to the 425R is performed.

In other words, since the movable body 410 rotates in different directions around two rotation axes that intersect (orthogonally) with each other according to the upward movement, the movable body 410 is centered on one rotation axis according to the upward movement. It is possible to operate it in a more complicated manner than the one that rotates as.

Further, the first movable portion 410L pivotally supported by the moving bodies 425L and 425R driven by the left and right different driving mechanism portions 405L and 405R and the third movable portion 410C suspended and supported by the second movable portion 410R are separately separated. It is possible to move in the vertical direction while maintaining the posture without guiding in the vertical direction by the guide member or the like.

When lowering the movable body 410, the moving bodies 425L and 425R may be lowered by rotating the guide shafts 420L and 420R in the second direction by the lifting motors 421L and 421R. As a result, the first guided portions 432L and 432R are guided to move downward through the first guide holes 451L and 451R, and the second guided portions 442L and 442R move downward through the second guide holes 452L and 452R. By being guided to, the movable body 410 rotates around the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R and the second rotation shafts 416L and 416R in the direction opposite to that when ascending, so that the movable body 410 is in a tilted posture. Changes from to a standing posture.

The 563C, the second light guide portion 563D capable of guiding the light bent by the bending portion 563C in the direction along the front surface 512F, and the bending that bends the light guided by the second light guide portion 563D forward. It has a portion 563E and a light emitting portion 563F that emits light bent by the bent portion 563E toward the front.

The first light guide portion 563B is bent rearward from the second light guide portion 563D and extends along one side of the second light guide portion 563D. As shown in FIG. 24B, the light entering portion 563A is composed of a curved surface formed by notching at a position corresponding to each second effect LED 523 on the rear end surface of the first light guide portion 563B. Therefore, the light incident from the second effect LED 523 is diffused in the plane direction orthogonal to the front surface 512F. Further, since the portion of the rear end surface of the first light guide portion 563B other than the light input portion 563A is close to the front surface 512F, it is difficult for the light from the second effect LED 522 in the vicinity to enter.

The second light guide portion 563D is arranged so that the portion on the inner side 512A side overlaps the front surface of the second light guide portion 562D of the second inner lens 562 with a predetermined gap, and the portion on the outer side 512B side. Is extended beyond the front of the second effect LED 522 to a position corresponding to the second effect LED 523. Therefore, since the second light guide unit 563D is arranged at a position separated from the front surface 512F of the second LED substrate 512R by the plate thickness of the first inner lens 561 and the second inner lens 562, the first light guide unit 563B is arranged. By forming the light input portion 563A, the light input portion 563A can be arranged close to the second effect LED 523.

Further, on the back surface side of the second light guide portion 563D, a spacer portion 563G projecting rearward extends along the right side. Since the spacer portion 562G projecting from the front side of the second light guide portion 562D and the spacer portion 563G projecting from the back side of the second light guide portion 563D have the same protruding dimensions, the second inner lens 562 When the third inner lens 563 is arranged on the front side of the lens, the spacer portion 563G abuts on the front surface of the second light guide portion 562D and the spacer portion 562G abuts on the back surface of the second light guide portion 563D. The third inner lens 563 can be arranged so as to overlap the front side of the inner lens 562 with a predetermined gap.

The light emitting portion 563F is formed of a strip-shaped flat surface facing the front side extending along the side side of the inner side 512A side of the third inner lens 563, and the outer side 512B of the light emitting portion 562F of the second inner lens 562. It is provided on the side, at a position protruding forward with respect to the second light guide portion 563D, substantially parallel to the front surface 512F.

As shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the lens cover 564 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin material in a size capable of covering the front surface 512F of the second LED substrate 512R. The lens cover 564 is a portion corresponding to the light emitting portion 561D of the first inner lens 561, a light diffusing portion 564A formed so as to have an uneven surface, and a portion corresponding to the light emitting portion 562F of the second inner lens 562. In addition, a light diffusing portion 564B formed so as to have an uneven surface, and a light diffusing portion 564C formed so as to have an uneven surface on a portion corresponding to the light emitting portion 563F of the third inner lens 563. Has.

The light diffusing units 564A, 564B, and 564C are formed so that the light from the light emitting units 561D, 562F, and 563F can be emitted forward, and the light diffusing unit 564B is located in front of the light diffusing unit 564A. The light diffusing portions 564C are arranged in different positions in the front-rear direction so as to be located in front of the 564B. The second light emitting units 503L and 503R (see FIG. 3) are configured by these light diffusing units 564A, 564B and 564C.

Further, a non-transmissive sheet is attached between the light diffusing section 564A and the light diffusing section 564B and between the light diffusing section 564B and the light diffusing section 564C to prevent light emission. The sex portions 564D and 564E are provided in an inclined shape.

As shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the decorative cover 565 has a size capable of covering a region other than the regions corresponding to the light diffusing portions 564A, 564B, 564C on the front surface of the lens cover 564 with a non-transparent synthetic resin material. Is formed in. Since the decorative cover 565 covers the area corresponding to each of the second effect LEDs 521 to 523 from the front side, the light emitted forward from each of the second effect LEDs 521 to 523 passes through the lens cover 564 and emits forward. It is possible to preferably prevent the occurrence of shining due to the fact that the light is emitted.

In the second lens units 514L and 514R configured in this way, the light diffusing units 564A, 564B and 564C constituting the second light emitting units 503L and 503R are streaked with each other when viewed from the front side. It is arranged side by side, and it is possible to individually surface-emit the light by the second effect lenses 521 to 523. When the light diffusing units 564A, 564B, and 564C arranged side by side when viewed from the front side are to emit light, a plurality of top type LEDs are arranged at positions corresponding to the light diffusing units 564A, 564B, 564C. When light is directly emitted from the back surface of each light diffusing unit 564A, 564B, 564C by the LED, since the LED has high light directivity, it corresponds to each top type LED in each light diffusing unit 564A, 564B, 564C. There is a risk that the position will emit strong light and so-called spotlight will occur.

Therefore, the separation distance from each of the light diffusing units 564A, 564B, 564C to each of the top type LEDs can be increased, or the light diffusing unit can be located between each of the light diffusing units 564A, 564B, 564C and each of the top type LEDs on the back side thereof. It is conceivable to disperse the light by arranging the lens member having the above, but if the distance is lengthened or the light is diffused, the brightness tends to decrease, and it becomes difficult to emit strong light. Further, if the separation distance is increased, the thickness of the second lens units 514L and 514R in the front-rear direction increases, so that it may be difficult to arrange the second lens units 514L and 514R between the game board 2 and the image display device 5.

Therefore, as in the present embodiment, for each of the second production LEDs 521 to 523 provided on the front surface 512F of the second LED substrate 512R, the corresponding light diffusing portions 564A, 564B, 564C are provided along the front surface 512F. When arranged side by side in the direction, the light diffusing portions 564A, 564B, and 564C are placed at different positions in the direction along the front 512F from the positions corresponding to the respective second effect LEDs 521 to 523, that is, the respective second effect LEDs 521 to 523. The front 512F is provided by the first inner lens 561, the second inner lens 562, and the third inner lens 563, which are arranged at positions that do not correspond to the above and are arranged so that the light from each of the second production LEDs 521 to 523 overlaps the front 512F side. By guiding each light diffusing unit 564A, 564B, 564C to emit light in the direction along the above, it is not necessary to arrange the LED at the position corresponding to each light diffusing part, and the length dimension in the front-rear direction is increased. Since the light guide distance from the LED to each light diffusing part can be lengthened in the lateral direction, each light diffusing part emits strong light without causing spotlight and without significantly reducing the brightness. Can be made to.

(Operational modes of the movable effect device 400 and the light emitting effect device 500)
Next, an example of the operation mode of the movable effect device 400 and the light emission effect device 500 will be described with reference to FIG. 25 (A) to 25 (D) are explanatory views showing an example of the operation mode of the movable effect device and the light emission effect device.

As shown in FIG. 25 (A), the movable body 410 of the movable effect device 400 is located at the origin position when the execution condition of the movable effect is not satisfied in the reach effect, the advance notice effect, or the like, and the light emitting effect device. The first light emitting units 501L, 501R, 502L, 502R and the second light emitting units 503L, 503R of the 500 are turned off or set to a predetermined color with low brightness (for example, white) when the execution condition of the light emitting effect is not satisfied. Is lit.

As shown in FIG. 25B, for example, when the execution condition of the movable effect is satisfied by temporarily stopping the third decorative symbol in the reach effect, the movable body 410 moves from the origin position to the effect position. To start.

As shown in FIG. 25C, when the movable body 410 reaches the effect position, the third movable portion 410C is arranged so as to overlap the front side of the decorative symbol temporarily stopped in the central decorative symbol display area 5C. In addition, the upper portion of the third movable portion 410C is tilted backward toward the display area of the image display device 5 to approach or abut. In addition, by displaying the effect display image X around the central decorative symbol, the third movable portion 410C can come into contact with (act) on the central decorative symbol to make it appear as if the decorative symbol is destroyed. ..

Then, as shown in FIG. 25 (D), the third movable portion 410C contacts (acts) the decorative symbol in the center and the decorative symbol is destroyed, so that the 7 symbol alignment (big hit display result) is derived. In this case, assuming that the execution conditions of the light emitting effects of the first light emitting units 501L, 501R, 502L, 502R and the second light emitting units 503L, 503R of the light emitting effect device 500 are satisfied, the first effect LED 520 and the second effect are satisfied. When the LEDs 521 to 523 emit light, the first light emitting units 501L, 501R, 502L, 502R and the second light emitting units 503L, 503R emit light in a specific color.

As described above, in the pachinko game machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the movable body 410 that can move in the vertical direction and the first guided portions 432L and 432R of the movable body 410 can be guided. The first guide holes 451L and 451R and the second guide holes 452L and 452R capable of guiding the second guided portions 442L and 442R of the movable body 410 are provided, and the first guide holes 451L and 451R are the movable body 410. The first guided portions 432L and 432R are guided so that the movable body 410 performs the first operation (for example, the operation of rotating around the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R) in response to the movement in the vertical direction. The second guide holes 452L and 452R have a second operation (for example, a first movable portion 410L and a second movable portion) in which the movable body 410 is different from the first operation in response to the vertical movement of the movable body 410. The second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided so that the 410R rotates about the second rotating shafts 416L and 416R and the third movable portion 410C rises).

By doing so, according to the vertical movement of the movable body 410, it is operated in a complicated manner by guiding the movable body 410 to rotate about two rotation axes facing in the directions intersecting each other. Therefore, the effect of production can be enhanced.

Specifically, when the first guided portions 432L and 432R are guided by the second guide portion 451B, the movable body 410 rotates in the vertical direction, and the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided by the second guide portion 452B. As a result, the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R of the movable body 410 rotate in the lateral direction. That is, since it is possible to perform two types of operations having different operation modes according to the movement in a predetermined direction, the effect of the effect can be suitably enhanced.

Further, it is possible to realize the two types of operations only with the elevating motors 421L and 421R without separately preparing a drive source for performing the two types of operations having different operation modes.

Further, the first guided portions 432L and 432R and the second guided portions 442L and 442R are provided in different directions (for example, the first guided portions 432L and 432R project in the left-right direction). , The second guided portions 442L and 442R project in the front-rear direction).

By doing so, the first guided portions 432L and 432R and the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided in different directions, so that the movable body 410 can be operated stably.

Further, the first guide holes 451L and 451R guide the first guided portions 432L and 432R toward the first direction (for example, the front-rear direction), and the second guide holes 452L and 452R guide the second guided portions 442L. , 442R is guided toward a second direction (for example, a front-rear direction) intersecting with the first direction.

By doing so, the first guided portions 432L and 432R and the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided in different directions, so that the movable body 410 can be operated stably.

Further, when the movable body 410 moves from the intermediate position to the effect position, the first operation is such that the upper portion of the movable body 410 rotates backward with respect to the first rotation shafts 430L and 430R in response to the upward movement. The first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate around the second rotating shafts 416L and 416R, so that the third movable portion 410C maintains the posture and the moving bodies 425L and 425R. The second operation of moving upward is performed.

By doing so, when the movable body 410 moves up and down, two types of movements (first movement and second movement) having different movement modes are performed together, so that the movement of the movable body 410 becomes more complicated. I can show you.

Further, the movable body 410 is movable between the origin position and the effect position, and is provided so as to be movable between the origin corresponding position and the effect corresponding position with respect to the moving bodies 425L and 425R and the moving bodies 425L and 425R. The second guided portions 442L and 442R have slide members 440L and 440R having the second guided portions 442L and 442R, and the second guided portions 442L and 442R have the second guide holes according to the movement of the movable body 410 from the origin position to the effect position. A compression spring 442 is provided as an urging means for urging the slide members 440L and 440R toward the production-corresponding position when guided by the 452L and 452R.

By doing so, the slide members 440L and 440R are urged in the direction in which the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided by the second guide portions 452B of the second guide holes 452L and 452R (directions separated from each other). As a result, when the second guided portions 442L and 442R are guided by the second guide portion 452B of the second guide holes 452L and 452R, the second guided portions 442L and 442R and the second guide holes 452L are started. Since it is possible to avoid a large frictional force from being generated between the body and the 452R, the movable body 410 can be smoothly deformed from the first state to the second state.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R that can move in the vertical direction and the first movable portion 410L are moved according to the vertical movement. A first guide means (for example, a second guide hole 452L, a second guided portion 442L) for guiding so as to rotate about a second rotation shaft 416L facing in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, and a second movable A second guide means (for example, a second guide hole 452R,) that guides the portion 410R so as to rotate about a second rotation shaft 416R that faces a direction intersecting the vertical direction in response to the movement in the vertical direction. The second guided portion 442R) and the third movable portion 410C pivotally supported by the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are provided, and the first guiding means rotates the first movable portion 410L. The second guiding means guides the rotation of the second movable portion 410R, and when the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R rotate, the third movable portion 410C An interlocking mechanism that interlocks the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R so that the first movable portion 410L operates while maintaining the posture (for example, the interlocking gear portion of the interlocking gear portion 412L of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R). 412R) is provided.

By doing so, the third movable portion 410C can be suitably operated, so that the effect of the effect can be enhanced. Specifically, even if the rotation timings of the left and right first movable parts 410L and the second movable parts 410R pivotally supported by the moving bodies 425L and 425R driven by the left and right different drive mechanism parts 405L and 405R are deviated. The third movable portion 410C suspended and supported by the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R on two axes can be moved in the vertical direction while maintaining the posture.

Further, a guide member or the like for vertically moving and guiding the third movable portion 410C suspended and supported by the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R in the vertical direction while maintaining the posture is separately provided. Instead, the third movable portion 410C can be stably moved in the vertical direction only by interlocking the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R.

Further, since one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R is interlocked with the other, the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are second with respect to the third movable portion 410C. 3 The first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are interlocked so as to rotate at the same or substantially the same angle around the rotation shafts 415L and 415R. By doing so, the third movable portion 410C can be operated stably.

Further, the first guide means (for example, the second guide hole 452L, the second guided portion 442L) guides the first movable portion 410L so as to rotate in the first direction (for example, clockwise in the rear view). In the second guide means (for example, the second guide hole 452R and the second guided portion 442R), the second movable portion 410R rotates in the second direction (for example, counterclockwise when viewed from the rear) opposite to the first direction. I will guide you to do it. By doing so, the third movable portion 410C can be suitably operated.

Further, the cover member 413 capable of covering the interlocking mechanism including the interlocking gear portion 412L of the first movable portion 410L and the interlocking gear portion 412R of the second movable portion 410R is provided.

By doing so, it is possible to prevent members such as wiring from entering between the interlocking gear portion 412L and the interlocking gear portion 412R.

Further, the interlocking mechanism is composed of an interlocking gear portion 412L provided in the first movable portion 410L and an interlocking gear portion 412R provided in the second movable portion 410R and meshing with the interlocking gear portion 412R.

By doing so, the rotational power of one of the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R is transmitted to the other, so that the first movable portion 410L and the second movable portion 410R are first guided. It can be smoothly linked regardless of the means or the second guiding means.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the transparent board surface plate 2A and the decorative area E provided on the back side of the board surface plate 2A so as to be visible from the player side and decorated. The decorative bodies 515L and 515R are provided with, and the decorative bodies 515L and 515R have positioning portions 531A and 531B for determining the position with respect to the board surface plate 2A, and the positioning portions 531A and 531B are provided in the decorative area E. Has been done.

By doing so, it is possible to prevent the decoration from being damaged by the positioning portions 531A and 531B. Specifically, since the positioning portions 531A and 531B are also decorated, it is not necessary to extend the positioning portions 531A and 531B to a place where the positioning portions 531A and 531B can be invisible from the player side with respect to the decorative area E. , The configuration of the decorative bodies 515L and 515R can be simplified.

Further, the positioning portions 531A and 531B have a contact surface 532A that abuts on the board surface plate 2A and a positioning boss 533 that is formed so as to project forward from the contact surface 532A and can be fitted into a positioning hole 543 formed in the board surface plate 2A. And, the decoration is applied to at least the contact surface 532A.

By doing so, the contact surface 532A that comes into contact with the board surface plate 2A can be decorated, while the positioning boss 533 can suitably prevent the board surface plate 2A from being displaced in the surface direction.

Further, since the positioning portions 531A and 531B are provided outside the specific decorative region SE in the decorative region E, the decoration of the specific decorative region SE such as the region corresponding to the face, which is a characteristic portion of the character, is impaired. Can be prevented.

Further, since the areas other than the positioning portions 531A and 531B in the decorative area E are separated from the board surface plate 2A, it is possible to minimize the damage to the decoration due to the contact with the board surface plate 2A.

Further, the decorative area E has a second dimension L2 in which the separation dimension from the first decorative area E1 and the board surface plate 2A is shorter than the first dimension L1 in which the separation dimension from the board surface plate 2A is the first dimension L1. The second decorative area E2 is provided, and the positioning portions 531A and 531B are provided in the second decorative area E2.

By doing so, the positioning portions 531A and 531B can be provided without protruding significantly, so that the portions corresponding to the positioning portions 531A and 531B in the decorative area E protrude and give a sense of discomfort to the player. Can be suppressed.

Further, the decorative area E includes a first visible area E3 that can be visually recognized from the player side without passing through the board surface plate 2A, and a second visible area E4 that can be visually recognized through the board surface plate 2A from the player side. 531A and 531B are provided in the second viewing area E4.

By doing so, the positioning portions 531A and 531B can be made less noticeable as compared with the case where the positioning portions 531A and 531B are provided in the first visible area E3. Further, it can be made less noticeable by being provided in the vicinity of the guide rail 2b or the like where the game ball does not flow down frequently in the game area 10 of the second visible area E4.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the second effect LED 521 and the second effect LED 522 and the second effect LED 521 provided on the front surface 512F of the second LED substrates 512L and 512R are provided. The first inner lens 561 that guides the light incident on the light entering portion 561A and the second production LED 521 are provided at positions separated from each other along the second LED substrates 512L and 512R, and are provided by the first inner lens 561. The light emitting unit 561D that emits light by the induced light, the second inner lens 562 that guides the light incident on the light input unit 562A from the second effect LED 522, and the second LED substrate 512L, 512R with respect to the second effect LED 522. The first inner lens 561 is provided on the front 512F side of the second LED substrates 512L and 512R, and is provided with a light emitting portion 562F which is provided at a position away from the second inner lens 562 and emits light by light induced by the second inner lens 562. Arranged so as to overlap, the light from the second effect LED 521 is guided in the direction along the second LED substrates 512L and 512R, and the second inner lens 562 is arranged so as to overlap the front side of the first inner lens 561. Then, the light from the second effect LED 522 is guided in the direction along the second LED substrates 512L and 512R.

By doing so, the light emitting unit 561D and the second effect LED 521 and the light emitting unit 562F and the second effect LED 522 can be arranged so as to be shifted in the direction along the second LED substrates 512L and 512R, so that the light emitting unit 561D and the light emitting unit can be arranged. Since it is not necessary to dispose the second effect LEDs 521 and 522 at the positions corresponding to the 562F, the light emitting unit 561D and the light emitting unit 562F can be suitably emitted without being lit.

Further, since the light from the second production LEDs 521 and 522 is guided in the direction along the second LED substrates 512L and 512R, the second production LEDs 521 and 522 do not have to increase the front-rear dimensions of the second lens units 514L and 514R. Since the induction distance of the light from the light can be increased, the light emitting units 561D and 562F can be arranged apart from the second effect lenses 521 and 522 in the direction along the second LED substrates 512L and 512R. It is possible to preferably prevent shining.

Further, the second LED substrate is formed by the first inner lens 561 and the second inner lens 562 arranged so that the light from the two second effect LEDs 521 and 522 arranged side by side on one surface (front surface 512F) is overlapped with one surface. Since the light can be individually guided in the directions along the 512L and 512R, it is possible to prevent the lights of the two second production lenses 521 and 522 from being mixed with each other.

Further, an LED substrate in which an LED as a light emitting means is provided on the end surface side of the light guide plate, such as a light guide plate device that produces a light emission display effect by injecting light from a plurality of LEDs onto the end faces of the plurality of light guide plates. When arranging in the direction orthogonal to the light guide plate, it is necessary to attach each light guide plate to the base member or the like separately from the LED substrate. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, a plurality of LEDs are arranged side by side. Since the LED substrate and the plurality of light guide plates can be attached to the base members 510L and 510R together via the screws N2 in a state of being overlapped with each other, the structure can be simplified.

Further, the light emitting unit 561D and the light emitting unit 562F are arranged at positions separated from the second effect LED 521 and 522 on one side (for example, the inner side 512A side of the second LED substrates 512L and 512R), and the second effect LED 522 Is arranged at a position away from the second effect LED 521 on the other side (outer side 512B side), and the second inner lens 562 is provided so as to cover the front of the second effect LED 521.

By doing so, among the second effect LEDs 521 and 522 juxtaposed with each other, the irradiation light from the second effect LED 522 exceeds the second effect LED 521 and the irradiation light of the second effect LED 521. Since it is possible to guide in the same direction as above, the degree of freedom in arranging the light emitting unit and the light emitting means is improved.

Further, by arranging the second inner lens 562 in front of the second effect LED 521, the irradiation light from the second effect LED 521 is reflected and diffused by the second LED substrates 512L and 512R and the second inner lens 562. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the brightness of the light emitting unit 561D.

Further, the second effect LED 521 is an angle type LED capable of irradiating light in a direction parallel to or substantially parallel to the front surface 512F which is a mounting surface of the second LED substrate 512R, and the second effect LEDs 522 and 523 are mounted.
