An embodiment of the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

The game machine 1 is equipped with a game board 90 . The game board 90 is made of a substantially square plywood board, and a guide rail 903 forming a passage for guiding a game ball fired by operating a shooting device 908 (shooting handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. is provided as follows.

The game area 902 is provided with a display device 91, a starting prize winning port 904, a big winning prize port 10, an out port, and the like. A display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be visually recognized through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90 . Note that the shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). .

In addition, in the game area 902, a plurality of game nails are provided as obstacles that change the flowing state of the game balls when the falling game balls collide with each other. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes in various modes according to the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

In such a game machine 1 , game balls are shot toward the game area 902 by operating the shooting device 908 . When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the starting winning opening 904 or the big winning opening 10, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by a payout device.

The lottery for the jackpot is executed by winning/failure determining means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by the entry of a game ball into the starting winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (hereinafter also referred to as win/fail determination information) is acquired from a random number source triggered by the winning of a game ball into the start winning opening 904, and the numerical value is the same as the predetermined jackpot numerical value. If it is, it is a jackpot, and if it is different, it is a loss.

In this embodiment, similar to a known game machine, the player is notified of the win/loss determination result by combining the decorative symbols 50 (see FIG. 1, etc.) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91 . The decorative pattern 50 starts to fluctuate with the start of notification of the success/failure determination result. When the jackpot is won, the decorative patterns 50 finally stop at a predetermined combination (for example, three sets of the same decorative patterns 50). In the case of losing, the decorative symbols 50 are finally stopped in a combination other than that (other than the combination that results in a big win).

Descriptions of components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1 and the lower and upper trays for storing game balls, will be omitted. For these, those having the same structure as known gaming machines can be applied.

The movable member 10 provided in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment and the configuration related thereto will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. FIG. In the following description, the left-right direction (width direction) refers to the illustrated X-axis direction, the front-rear direction refers to the illustrated Y-axis direction, and the vertical direction refers to the illustrated Z-axis direction.

The movable member 10 (see FIG. 3) can move within a predetermined range. The gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment has a first movable member 11 and a second movable member 12 as the movable member 10 . The shape and decoration mode of the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 may be any. In this embodiment, the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are substantially symmetrical with respect to a line that bisects the gaming machine 1 in the width direction when viewed from the front. However, the positions of the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 in the front-rear direction are different. In this embodiment, the first movable member 11 is provided forward of the second movable member 12 .

A guiding member 20 having a guiding portion for guiding the movable member 10 is provided (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The guiding member 20 is fixed (immovable) to the main body of the gaming machine 1 so as not to move. The guide member 20 is directly or indirectly fixed to a base member (not shown) provided behind the game board 90 . The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a first guide member 21 (see FIG. 4A) formed with a first guide portion 211 for guiding the first movable member 11, and a second movable member 12. and a second guide member 22 (see FIG. 4B) in which a second guide portion 221 is formed.

The guide portion (the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221) may be of any type as long as it guides the movable member 10. FIG. The guiding portion in this embodiment is a hole (long hole) into which the guided portion (the first guided portion 111 and the second guided portion 121) fixed to the movable member 10 is fitted (FIG. 4A). (b)). A configuration in which the guide portion is constructed by another member may be employed. When the power of the driving source is transmitted to the movable member 10, the movable member 10 operates in a predetermined manner while the induced portion is guided by the guiding portion. In this embodiment, a first guided portion 111 is provided at one (upper) side end of the first movable member 11, and a second guided portion 121 is provided at one (upper) side end of the second movable member 12. (See FIG. 3), and the movable members 10 are displaced while one end portions of the movable members 10 are guided by the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 .

Since any power transmission mechanism from the drive source to the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 may be used, detailed description thereof will be omitted. A configuration in which both movable members 10 are operated by a single drive source, or a configuration in which both movable members 10 are operated by separate drive sources may be employed. In this embodiment, the other side of the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 (the side opposite to the side on which the guided portion is provided, that is, the lower side in this embodiment) is rotatably supported by the relay member 40. is provided (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The relay member 40 is supported by vertically extending guide rails (not shown) on its left and right sides, and is vertically slidable by the power of a drive source (not shown; in this embodiment, a motor). That is, when the drive source is driven, both the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are vertically displaced via the relay member 40 . At this time, since one side of both movable members 10 is guided by the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221, both movable members 10 are adjusted to match the shape of the guide portion, and their attitudes are adjusted accordingly. will change

A predetermined decoration is applied to the front side of the relay member 40 . As will be described later in detail, when the movable member 10 is at the original position, at least a portion (entirely in this embodiment) of the movable member 10 and the guide portion is covered with the relay member 40 (FIGS. 2 and 4). 3(a)).

In the present embodiment, the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 are substantially symmetrical with respect to a line that bisects the gaming machine 1 in the width direction when viewed from the front (FIG. 3(b), FIG. 4(c)). Specifically, the first guide portion 211 has a shape extending rightward while moving upward from its lower end to its upper end, and the second guide portion 221 extends from its lower end to its upper end. It has a shape extending to the left while moving upward toward the part. As described above, the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are provided so that their longitudinal positions are different from each other. The front-rear direction position of the second guide member 22 provided with the two guide portions 221 is also different. In this embodiment, the first guide member 21 is positioned forward of the second guide member 22 .

The operation modes of the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 (operation modes between the original position and the performance position) are as follows. At the original position, the relay member 40 is positioned upward (see FIGS. 2 and 3A). At least a part (all in this embodiment) of the first movable member 11 , the second movable member 12 , the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 are covered with the relay member 40 . In other words, the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 are covered with the relay member 40, so that they are difficult for the player to visually recognize.

In this state, the drive source is driven to displace the relay member 40 downward. As a result, the sides of the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 connected to the relay member 40 are displaced downward. At this time, since the first guided portion 111 is guided by the first guided portion 211 and the second guided portion 121 is guided by the first guided portion 211, the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are It rotates about the point connected to the relay member 40 as a fulcrum, and its attitude changes. Specifically, both movable members 10, which were tilted in the horizontal direction at the original position, change to stand up postures (positions indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3(b)). reference). When the first guided portion 111 reaches the left end of the first guiding portion 211 and the second guided portion 121 reaches the right end of the second guiding portion 221, both movable members 10 reach the rendering position. 10 operations are completed. In addition, when returning both movable members 10 positioned at the performance position to the original position, the drive source is operated in the opposite direction. In this way, both movable members 10 moving from the original position to the performance position are displaced downward together with the relay member 40 while changing their attitudes. In the state where both movable members 10 are positioned at the performance position, most of the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 are exposed without being covered by the movable member 10 and the relay member 40 (see FIGS. 2 and 4). See FIG. 3(b)).

Thus, in this embodiment, the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 are exposed when the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are positioned at the rendering position. If such a structure for "guiding" the movable member 10 is clearly visible to the player, the player loses interest (for example, if the structure for moving the movable member 10 is clearly visible) , the movement of the movable member 10 cannot be perceived as real), which is not preferable. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the following configuration is adopted in order to reduce the possibility that such an exposure of the guide portion may cause agitation.

Both the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 are made of a material having optical transparency. In this embodiment, it is made of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material. The first guide member 21 is located on the front side and the second guide member 22 is located on the rear side, and at least a part of them overlap each other (FIGS. 3(b) and 4(c)). reference). It should be noted that only a part of the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 may have a light-transmitting property. However, the portions forming the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 (the periphery of the first guide portion 211 and the periphery of the second guide portion 211) are assumed to be light transmissive. Moreover, the portion where the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 overlap with each other is made to have light transmittance.

Behind the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22, a light source 30 (light source 30 whose optical axis extends in the front-rear direction) that emits light forward is arranged (see FIG. 5). Specifically, a substrate 31 on which a plurality of light sources 30 (LEDs) are mounted is provided behind the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 . In this embodiment, a plurality of light sources 30 (LEDs) are arranged approximately evenly in the planar direction (see FIG. 5A). There is nothing between the light source 30 and the first and second guide members 21 and 22 that completely blocks the light emitted from the light source 30 . The color of the light emitted from the light source 30 may be any.

In this embodiment, the light source 30 is driven when the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are positioned at the performance position. As a result, the exposed first guide member 21 and second guide member 22 are illuminated by the light emitted from the light source 30 . Therefore, the exposed first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 themselves function as members exhibiting a decorative effect that decorates the top of the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 positioned at the production position. . Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the player loses interest due to the exposure of the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221 .

The light source 30 may be driven when the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12 are positioned at their original positions. By doing so, it is possible to perform an effect in which the relay member 40 positioned at the original position is illuminated by the light from the light source 30 . That is, the light source 30 not only illuminates the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22, but also plays a role of illuminating the relay member 40 as a so-called movable accessory.

Specific examples of improvement, modification, embodiment, etc. of the gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment will be described below. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied multiple items demonstrated using the following specific examples.

(First Specific Example) A configuration in which a reinforcing portion 23 is formed in the guiding member 20 is adopted. In accordance with the above-described embodiment, the guide member 20 is formed with elongated guide portions (first guide portion 211 and second guide portion 221), and the presence of the guide portions prevents a decrease in member strength. Therefore, the reinforcing portion 23 is provided. A configuration in which only one of the guide members 20 is provided with the reinforcing portion 23 may be used). For example, a configuration in which a plurality of linear reinforcing portions 23 extending in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the guiding portion is formed (see FIGS. 6A and 6B). As the reinforcement part 23, forming a protruding part protruding forward or backward or both can be exemplified. That is, it is conceivable that the reinforcing portion 23 exerts a reinforcing function as a so-called "rib". The reinforcing portion 23 may be formed integrally with the guide member 20, or may be configured by another member.

Such a reinforcing portion 23 not only contributes to improving the strength of the guide member 20, but also contributes to improving decorativeness. Specifically, the light emitted from the light source 30 (not shown in FIG. 6C for the sake of clarity) passes through the portion where the reinforcing portion 23 is formed, and the light emitted from the light source 30 passes through the portion where the reinforcing portion 23 is formed. The player sees it differently (differs in the refraction mode) from the one that passes through the portion that is not covered, so the reinforcing portion 23 behaves like a pattern. In other words, the reinforcing portion 23 can improve the decorativeness of the guide member 20 illuminated by the light source 30 .

○Second example (a further development of the first example)
The first reinforcement portion 231 (see FIG. 6A) formed on the first guide member 21 and the second reinforcement portion 232 (see FIG. 6B) formed on the second guide member 22 are arranged as follows. It is assumed that there is a relationship As described above, at least a portion of the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 overlap in the front-rear direction (a deviation within a margin of error is allowed. The same is true when referring to “overlapping” with respect to ). It is assumed that at least a part of the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 formed in the overlapping portion is set so as to overlap each other in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 6(c)).

With such a configuration, when the light source 30 (not shown in FIG. 6C for the sake of clarity) is driven, the first reinforcing portion 231 of the first guide member 21 is aligned with the second guide member 22, the second reinforcements 232 behave as if they were patterns. At least a part of the first reinforcing part 231 and the second reinforcing part 232 overlap each other in the front-rear direction, so that the reinforcing part 23 formed on a separate member can be used as a decoration. It is possible to enhance the feeling.

○Third example (a further development of the first example)
A light transmitting member 60 (see FIG. 7A), which is a portion having at least a portion of the light transmitting property, is provided in front of the light source 30 (on the light emitting side). For example, the light transmission member 60 is provided so as to be positioned between the light source 30 and the second guide member 22 in the front-rear direction. The light transmitting portion of the light transmitting member 60 is the portion where the first guiding member 21 and the second guiding member 22 overlap in the assembly of the first guiding member 21 and the second guiding member 22 (see FIG. 7(b)). overlaps with The light-transmitting portion of the light-transmitting member 60 is preferably colorless and transparent, like the light-transmitting portions of the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 .

A decorative portion 61 is formed on the light transmitting member 60 (see FIG. 7A). The light transmitting member 60 is a plate-like member when viewed roughly. The decorative portion 61 is a portion having a different shape from a portion where the decorative portion 61 is not formed. The decorative portion 61 in this example is a projecting portion that protrudes from the surface (front surface or rear surface) of the light transmitting member 60 . Each aspect of the decorative portion 61 is linear like those formed in the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 . The light transmitting member 60 is arranged such that at least a portion of the decorative portion 61 overlaps at least a portion of the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 (see FIG. 7(c)). .

Light emitted from the light source 30 (not shown in FIG. 7C for clarity of illustration) passes through the light transmission member 60 and then through the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22. . The light passing through the light transmitting member 60 is visually recognized in a manner different from that passing through the decorative portion 61 and passing through other portions. That is, the decorative portion 61 of the light transmitting member 60 is visually recognized like a pattern. Since the decorative portion 61 is provided so as to overlap with the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 , the decoration by the reinforcing portion 23 is emphasized by the decorative portion 61 .

A configuration in which only one of the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 overlaps the decorative portion 61 may be employed. With such a configuration, one of the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 on which the decorative portion 61 overlaps becomes a decoration mode that is more clearly visible than the other.

Further, the light transmission member 60 may be provided with a decorative portion different from the decorative portion 61 overlapping the first reinforcing portion 231 and the second reinforcing portion 232 . With such a configuration, a pattern constructed by another decorative portion formed on the light transmitting member 60 and a pattern constructed by the first reinforcing portion 231, the second reinforcing portion 232, and the decorative portion 61 overlapping them. It becomes a decorative mode as if it were combined.

○Fourth specific example (an example developed from the first to third specific examples)
A specific member 70, which is a member different from the movable member 10 and can be positioned at a specific position, is provided. The specific member 70 in this example is provided so as to be operable within a predetermined range. A specific position is included in the operable range. Note that the specific member 70 may be fixed at a specific position.

The drive mechanism for operating the specific member 70 may be of any type, and the description thereof will be omitted. It may be operated by the same driving source as that of the movable member 10 (operated by linking with the movable member 10). However, it is necessary that the specific member 70 is positioned at the specific position when the movable member 10 is positioned at the performance position.

The first guide member 21 has a shape such that its lower edge extends along the first guide portion 211 . That is, it presents a curved shape that gradually goes upward from left to right. The second guide member 22 has a shape whose lower edge is along the second guide portion 221 . In other words, it has a shape that gradually goes upward from right to left. Since the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 are provided so as to be symmetrical about a straight line that intersects the lower edges of the two and bisects the gaming machine 1 in the width direction, the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 face downward when viewed from the front. A recessed space (hereinafter referred to as a specific space S) is formed. The specific member 70 positioned at the specific position is in a state in which at least a portion thereof has entered the specific space S (see FIG. 8).

The plurality of reinforcing portions 23 (first reinforcing portion 231, second reinforcing portion 232) are formed such that the distance between them increases as they move away from the side closer to the specific member 70 positioned at the specific position. That is, they are formed radially about the specific member 70 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, when the light source 30 (not shown in FIG. 8 for the sake of clarity) is driven with the movable member 10 positioned at the performance position and the specific member 70 positioned at the specific position, the reinforcing portion 23 The pattern formed by the pattern is as if to emphasize the specific member 70 positioned at the specific position.In other words, in this example, the guide portion (first In addition to making the guiding portion 211 and the second guiding portion 221 inconspicuous, the guiding member 20 acts to make the specific member 70 positioned at the specific position conspicuous.

○ Fifth specific example (an example that materializes the fourth specific example)
It is assumed that the specific member 70 includes a circular portion 71 having a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front. As the circular portion 71, a substantially circular shape such as the "face" of a character can be exemplified. When the specific member 70 is positioned at the specific position, at least part of the circular portion 71 enters the specific space S (see FIG. 9).

Since the plurality of reinforcing portions 23 (first reinforcing portion 231, second reinforcing portion 232) are formed radially around the specific member 70, the light source 30 (not shown in FIG. 9 for clarity) ) is driven, a radial pattern is visually recognized. In other words, since the object to be emphasized by the radial pattern is the circular portion 71, it is possible to create an effect mode in which the object to be emphasized and the pattern are in harmony.

○Sixth Specific Example In the first to fifth specific examples above, the reinforcing portion 23 is a portion (rib) that reinforces the guide member 20 and emerges like a pattern when the light source 30 is driven. Although it has been explained that it is a portion, it may be a portion that does not exhibit a reinforcing function. That is, when the light source 30 is driven in the guide member 20, it is sufficient that the specific portion of the guide member 20 is visible in a manner different from at least a part of the portions other than the specific portion. For example, the portion corresponding to the portion where the reinforcing portion 23 is formed in the above example is the first portion, and the light transmission mode in the first portion and the second portion that is at least a portion other than the first portion The light transmission mode in the portion of ( ) is configured to be different from the player's point of view. One of the first portion and the second portion may not transmit light at all.

Even with such a configuration, if the light source is driven when the movable member 10 is positioned at the performance position and the guide portions (the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 221) are exposed, the first portion and the second Due to the difference in the light transmission mode between the two parts, the guide member 20 has an effect as if some pattern has emerged, so that the guide parts (first guide part 211, second guide part 221) are exposed. It is possible to suppress the arousal of the player due to

○ Seventh Specific Example In the above embodiment, the first movable member 11 and the second movable member 12, and the first guide member 21 (first guide portion 211) and the second guide member 22 (second guide member 211) corresponding to each movable member 10 Although it has been described that two guide portions 221) are provided, the same technical concept can be applied to a configuration in which one movable member and one guide member (one guide portion) are provided. The same technical concept can be applied to a configuration in which three or more movable members and three or more guide members (guide portions) are provided.
