Here, the cross button 3100 and the push button 3000 are both configured in a substantially rectangular shape with straight sides, and the straight sides are arranged to face each other.

[Speaker unit 10]
The speaker unit 10 is of a bass reflex type that amplifies sounds in the low range, and has a speaker 10c and an enclosure 10e. The speaker 10c is provided on the front surface of the enclosure 10e, and the front portion of the speaker 10c is covered with the speaker cover 10k provided on the front central portion of the lower tray cover 8b. The sound generated at the front of the speaker 10c is directly transmitted to the player through the speaker cover 10k, while the sound generated at the rear of the speaker 10c is temporarily trapped inside the enclosure 10e.

The enclosure 10e encloses the sound generated from the rear portion of the speaker 10c so as not to interfere with the sound generated from the front portion thereof, and is formed to have a relatively large volume. As shown in FIG. 15, the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e is formed to protrude to the upper right side of the lower plate 18. As shown in FIG. Also, the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e is arranged so as to contact the bottom portion of the upper plate main body 17p. Further, the lower left portion 10eb of the enclosure 10e is arranged to contact the right end portion of the lower plate main body 18p.

As shown in FIG. 17, the lower right end of the enclosure 10e is provided with an opening 10ec leading to a conduit (not shown) provided inside. Such conduits and openings 10ec resonate and intensify the sound emitted from the rear of the speaker 10c into the enclosure 10e and propagate it to the outside according to the so-called Helmholtz resonance principle. The sound propagating to the outside from the opening 10ec overlaps with the sound emitted from the front part of the speaker 10c, so that it is perceived as a rich and powerful bass sound. Further, when sound is generated from the speaker 10c, air flows out from the opening 10ec in conjunction with the generation of the sound. When no sound is generated from the speaker 10c, air does not flow out from the opening 10ec.

According to the speaker unit 10, since the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e is partially bulging, it is possible to ensure a sufficient volume compared to, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped enclosure, and sufficient sound can be emitted from the speaker 10c. You can generate a powerful bass sound with pressure.

Further, when sound is generated from the speaker 10c, wind can be sent out with sufficient wind pressure from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e to the outside at the same time.

Furthermore, when the speaker 10c generates sound, the entire enclosure 10e vibrates according to the sound pressure. Since they are in contact with each other, the vibration is transmitted to the entire upper tray body 17p and lower tray body 18p. As a result, even when many game balls are stored in the upper tray main body 17p and the lower tray main body 18p, the clogging of the game balls discharged from the payout port 170 and the discharge port 180 can be effectively prevented by the vibration. can be prevented.

[Blower mechanism 110]
The blowing mechanism 110 switches the direction of the air blown out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e, and is arranged adjacent to the right side of the enclosure 10e. As shown in FIGS. 18 and 20, the blower mechanism 110 includes cover members 110A and 110B that can be divided into left and right parts, a solenoid 111, a slide member 112, a link member 113, a spring 114, an opening/closing member 115, and an opening/closing detection sensor 116. have Solenoid 111, slide member 112, link member 113, spring 114, opening/closing member 115, and opening/closing detection sensor 116 are accommodated inside cover members 110A and 110B.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the cover member 110A is provided with a space portion 110a that can be closed/opened by the opening/closing member 115 in the direction straight from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. The lower part of the space 110a is always open regardless of whether the opening/closing member 115 is closed or opened, and the vent hole 8ca provided in the undercover 8c is located (see FIG. 17). As shown in FIGS. 18 and 20, the cover member 110B is provided with an opening 110b at a position facing the space 110a. On the right side of the opening 110b is positioned a blower port 80 provided in the detachable lower right side cover 8ba as a part of the lower tray cover 8b (see FIGS. 13, 16 and 17). As a result, when the open/close member 115 closes the space 110a, the air blown out from the opening 10ec is blocked by the open/close member 115 and is guided below the space 110a without passing through the opening 110b. be killed. The wind guided downward in the space 110a is sent outside through the vent 8ca of the undercover 8c. On the other hand, when the opening/closing member 115 opens the space 110a, the wind sent out from the opening 10ec flows almost straight without being blocked by the opening/closing member 115, and after passing through the space 110a and the opening 110b, the air flows to the right. It is delivered to the outside through the air outlet 80 of the lower side cover 8ba. A shooting handle 26b of the shooting device 26 is arranged at a position substantially directly facing the air blowing port 80, and the wind emitted from the blowing port 80 hits the player's hand holding the shooting handle 26b. That is, the flow path from the opening 10ec through the space 110a, the opening 110b, and the air blowing port 80 to the shooting handle 26b is formed generally straight, so that the player's hand holding the shooting handle 26b can receive wind pressure. The wind can reach the wind without weakening it as much as possible, and the player can feel the wind surely.
In addition, regardless of whether the opening/closing member 115 is closed or opened, the sound emitted from the opening 10ec together with the wind is emitted to the outside through either the air blowing port 80 or the air vent 8ca. You can fully experience deep bass without reducing the acoustic effect.

As shown in FIGS. 18 to 21, the solenoid 111 has a plunger 111a that can protrude and retract in conjunction with on/off operations. A tip of the plunger 111 a is connected to the slide member 112 . The slide member 112 is supported by the cover member 110A so as to be movable in the horizontal direction. A long hole 112a is formed in the slide member 112 so as to extend in the vertical direction. A connecting portion 113a of a link member 113 is movably locked to the long hole 112a. A proximal end portion 113b of the link member 113 is rotatably supported by the cover member 110A, and one end of a spring 114 is locked to a portion of the link member 113 near the distal end portion. The other end of the spring 114 is locked to an appropriate portion of the cover member 110A. A long hole 113c is formed at the tip of the link member 113 . A connecting pin 115a provided on the opening/closing member 115 is movably locked to the long hole 113c. The opening/closing member 115 is guided by the cover member 110A so as to be movable between a closed position in which it remains in the space 110a and an open position in which it is displaced from the space 110a. The open/close detection sensor 116 is composed of, for example, a touch sensor or a proximity sensor, and when the open/close member 115 is in the open position, a part of the link member 113 comes into contact with or comes close to the space 110a, thereby opening the space 110a. to detect. When the opening/closing member 115 is in the closed position, the link member 113 is separated from the opening/closing detection sensor 116, thereby detecting that the space 110a is in the closed state. The open/close detection sensor 116 is electrically connected to the sub-control board 33 .

The main control board 28 is connected to a specific area switch 317A and a non-specific area switch 317B arranged in a specific area and a non-specific area (not shown) inside the second big winning hole. The specific area switch 317A supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a V prize when detecting that the game ball has passed through the specific area in the jackpot game state. The non-specific area switch 317B supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a non-V prize when detecting that the game ball has passed through the non-specific area in the jackpot game state.

The main control board 28 includes a second large winning opening solenoid 315A that drives a first large winning opening shutter (not shown) that opens and closes the first large winning opening, and a second large winning opening shutter that opens and closes the second large winning opening. (not shown) is controlled exclusively with the second big winning opening solenoid 316A that drives. As a result, the first big winning hole shutter is in an open state (first mode) in which it is easy for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole, and in a closed state (second mode) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to win a prize. ), and in a situation where the first big winning hole is at least closed, the second big winning hole shutter is in an open state in which a game ball can enter the second big winning hole. , and a closed state in which winning of game balls is impossible or difficult. The drive for opening the first and second big winning openings by such a first big winning opening shutter and second big winning opening shutter is performed by the first special symbol display portion 5C provided on the game board 1 or the second special winning opening shutter. This is performed when the special symbols are in a specific stop display mode in the special symbol display portion 5D and the state is shifted to the big win game state.

The main control board 28 controls a blade member solenoid 313 that opens and closes a blade member (not shown) provided at the second starting port. As a result, when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in a predetermined light emission mode in the normal symbol display portion 5A, the blade member is opened only for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, making it easier for the game ball to enter the second start port. Become.

For example, in the normal symbol game of the present embodiment, the normal symbol hit probability in the game state (non-probability variation/non-time-saving game state) that is not the time-saving game state is 1/256, and the blade member is not opened. . On the other hand, the winning probability of the normal symbol in the high probability state (time-saving game state) is, for example, 255/256, and when it is won, the blade member is opened three times for 1.3 seconds, for example. In the normal symbol game, the number of normal symbols to be a winning symbol is one, and the upper limit winning count number when the second starting port is opened is 10 counts (10 pieces).

The main control board 28 controls a displacement member solenoid 318 that operates to open and close a displacement member (not shown) in a specific area within the second big prize winning opening. As a result, when a round game in a jackpot game state is being executed, the displacement member is opened for a predetermined period of time and a predetermined number of times, making it easier for the game ball to pass through the specific area. On the other hand, when the displacement member is closed even in the jackpot game state, it becomes impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area, and the game ball easily passes through the non-specific area.

When the first special symbol display portion 5C or the second special symbol display portion 5D is fluctuatingly displayed, the first special symbol reservation display portion 5E detects the game ball by the first start port switch 311, Until the first special symbol or the second special symbol that is being displayed in a variable display in the 1 special symbol display portion 5C or the second special symbol display portion 5D is stopped and displayed, the first special based on the winning of the game ball to the first start port The number of pending execution (start) of the variable display of symbols, that is, the number of pending according to the first special symbol is displayed. When the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stop-displayed, the variable display of the first special symbol reserved as the number of reservations related to the first special symbol is started.

2nd special design reservation indicatory department 5F, while 1st special design indicatory indicatory department 5C or 2nd special design indicatory indicatory department 5D fluctuates, when the game ball is detected by 2nd start opening switch 312, 2nd Until the first special symbol or the second special symbol that is being displayed in a variable display in the 1 special symbol display portion 5C or the second special symbol display portion 5D is stopped and displayed, the second special based on the winning of the game ball to the second start port The number of pending execution (start) of the variable display of symbols, that is, the number of pending related to the second special symbol is displayed. When the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stop-displayed, the variable display of the second special symbol reserved as the number of reservations related to the second special symbol is started.

Here, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the order of priority of the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set so that the second special symbol has priority over the first special symbol. However, according to the winning order to the first starting port and the second starting port, the corresponding first special symbols and second special symbols may be variably displayed according to the winning order.

In addition, an upper limit is set for the number of suspensions for suspending the execution of the variable display of the special symbol, and in this embodiment, the main CPU 280 determines that the game balls have won the first start opening and the second start opening. When the game ball is detected by the first starter switch 311 and the second starter switch 312, the number of holdings of the fluctuation display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is up to 4 (i.e., 4 detection number of times), and the fifth and subsequent ones are not stored as the pending number. At this time, when the number of reservations is reduced due to the end of the variable display of the special symbols, the number of reservations is added again with an upper limit of four.

When the number of reserved first special symbol games in the first special symbol display portion 5C is suspended up to, for example, four, the special symbol game information corresponding to the changing first special symbol display portion 5C is stored in the main RAM 282 at the number 1 special symbol start memory area (0) is stored as start memory, after that, the information of the special symbol game with the number of reservations of 4 is stored in the first special symbol start memory area (1) to (4) of the main RAM 282. It is stored sequentially as a starting memory.

Similarly, for the second special symbol game in the second special symbol display portion 5D, when the number of pending second special symbol games is suspended up to, for example, four, the number corresponding to the second special symbol display portion 5D during fluctuation is displayed. The information of the 2 special symbol game is stored in the second special symbol start storage area (0) of the main RAM 282 as start storage, and thereafter, the information of the second special symbol game with the number of reservations of 4 is stored in the main RAM 282 as the start memory area (0). 2 Special symbol starting storage areas (1) to (4) are sequentially stored as starting memory.

Therefore, the number of reserved game balls related to the special symbol game associated with the winning of the first start port and the second start port is a maximum of 8 in total, and the first special symbol reservation display part 5E and the second special symbol reservation display The number of pending displays by the unit 5F is also four.

The open state of the first big winning opening by the first big winning opening shutter is whether the count value (the number of winning game balls) by the first big winning opening count switch 315 is a predetermined number (for example, 10 winning numbers), Alternatively, it is maintained until either one of the conditions is met, such as the elapse of a predetermined opening time, which will be described later. When the winning number of game balls reaches a predetermined number or when the opening time of the first big winning opening shutter elapses, the first big winning opening shutter is driven to close the first big winning opening.

Similarly, in the open state of the second large winning opening by the second large winning opening shutter, the count value (the number of winning game balls) by the second large winning opening count switch 316 becomes a predetermined number (for example, 10 winning numbers). , or until a predetermined opening time, which will be described later, elapses. When the winning number of game balls reaches a predetermined number or when the opening time of the second big winning opening shutter elapses, the second big winning opening shutter is driven to close the second big winning opening.

In the jackpot game state, the open state and the closed state of the first and second jackpots are repeated based on a preset jackpot opening/closing pattern (win opening/closing pattern). In the jackpot game state, the game in which the first and second jackpots are opened and closed for a predetermined number of times based on the jackpot opening/closing pattern (hit opening/closing pattern) is called a "round game." game)”. A round game (round game) may simply be called a round. Regarding the state from when the 1st or 2nd big prize gate is closed in one round game to when the 1st or 2nd big prize gate is opened in the next round game is also referred to as an "inter-round game" or "inter-round interval" or simply "interval". In one round game, each of the first and second big prize winning openings may be in an open state and a closed state a plurality of times. Also, in one round game, the opening/closing states of the first and second big winning holes are exclusively controlled. That is, in one round game, while one big winning hole is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times, the other big winning hole is continuously closed.

In addition, the gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a so-called small-hit game state as a game state having a different property from the big-hit game state. Unlike the big win game state, the small win game state is not defined by the concept of a round game, and in the small win game state of the present embodiment, the second big winning port is defined to be repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times. there is Of course, in the small winning game state, any or a specific big winning opening may be controlled to be repeatedly opened once or a plurality of times. This small-hit game state is a game state that shifts to the opportunity of winning a small-hit by a special symbol lottery. Before shifting to the small winning game state and after its end, the game state basically does not change. For example, when a small hit is won in the non-probability variable gaming state and the state shifts to the small hit game state, the game state after the end of the small hit game state remains the non-probability variable game state before shifting to the small hit game state. , there is no transition to the probability variation gaming state. Similarly, when a small hit is won in the probability variation gaming state and the state shifts to the small winning gaming state, the game state after the end of this small winning gaming state is the small winning gaming state as long as the number of games in the probability variation gaming state remains. It remains in the probability variation gaming state before shifting to, and does not shift to the non-probability variation gaming state.

A round game is counted as the number of rounds (number of times) such as 1 round and 2 rounds. In one round game, if the maximum number of winnings per round is reached before the 1st or 2nd big prize opening is opened a predetermined number of times, the 1st or 2nd big prize will be opened. The round game is ended without opening the first and second big winning holes for the remaining number of times the winning opening is closed.

Further, in a specific round game in which the second big winning hole is open in the jackpot game state, the displacement member is controlled based on a preset operation pattern (displacement member operation pattern). As a result, the specific area becomes an open state and a closed state in the specific round game in the jackpot game state. That is, in a specific round game, it is possible that a game ball passes through a specific area and wins a V prize. Also, it becomes impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area. That is, the types of the big win gaming state include a big winning gaming state including a specific round game and a big winning gaming state not including a specific round game.

On the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4, effect images related to the special symbols displayed in the first special symbol display portion 5C and the second special symbol display portion 5D are displayed. For example, during the variable display of the special symbols displayed in the first special symbol display portion 5C and the second special symbol display portion 5D, except for a specific case, on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4, symbols consisting of numbers (Decorative pattern), for example, numbers such as '0', '1', '2', . . . '7' are displayed in three rows.

On the other hand, when the special symbols variably displayed in the first special symbol display portion 5C and the second special symbol display portion 5D are stopped and displayed, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 as well.

In addition, in the first special symbol display part 5C and the second special symbol display part 5D, when the special symbol that is changed and stopped is in a specific stop display mode, the player is made to understand that it is a "big hit". An effect image is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 .

Specifically, in either one of the first special symbol display portion 5C and the second special symbol display portion 5D, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a specific display mode corresponding to, for example, a "jackpot", the liquid crystal The combination of the decorative patterns for production displayed on the screen of the display device 4 becomes a specific display mode (for example, a mode in which the same patterns are displayed in a stopped state in each of a plurality of pattern rows), and further , the effect image for the big win is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4. - 特許庁

It stipulates that it will be elected. The symbol lottery table is used for determining the first special symbol (special figure 1) and the second special symbol (special figure 2) by random number lottery when winning the jackpot. In such a symbol lottery table, for example, regarding the first special symbol (special symbol 1), when a random number of 0 to 35 is extracted from the random number range of 0 to 99, a 4R normal symbol corresponding to the 4R normal jackpot is selected. When a random number of 36 to 65 is extracted, a 16R normal pattern corresponding to a 16R normal jackpot is determined, and when a random number of 66 to 85 is extracted, a 4R probability variable pattern corresponding to a 4R probability variable jackpot is determined. , 86 to 99 random numbers are extracted, it is defined that the 16R probability variation pattern corresponding to the 16R probability variation jackpot is determined. In addition, the symbol lottery table, for example, regarding the second special symbol (special figure 1), determines a 4R probability variable symbol corresponding to the 4R probability variable jackpot when a random number value of 0 to 33 is extracted from the random number range 0 to 99. However, it is defined that the 16R probability variation pattern corresponding to the 16R probability variation jackpot is determined when a random value of 34 to 99 is extracted.

Specifically, the effect lottery table has air blowing effect, light irradiation effect, and operation effect in the case of losing the jackpot lottery, winning the 4R normal jackpot, winning the 16R normal jackpot, winning the 4R probability variable jackpot, and winning the 16R probability variable jackpot. A lottery value for determining whether or not to execute each effect is defined by a random number lottery (lottery with a random number range of 0 to 99).

According to such a performance lottery table, as for the blowing performance, when the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, a random number value from 0 to 99 is always extracted to determine "no performance", and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, When a random number of 0 to 30 is extracted, "no effect" is determined, while when a random number of 31 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined. When a random number is extracted, "no effect" is determined, while when a random number of 96 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 4R probability variable jackpot, a random value of 0 to 50 is extracted. Then, "no effect" is determined, while when a random value of 51 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability variable jackpot, when a random value of 0 to 50 is extracted, " While "no effect" is determined, "with effect" is determined when a random number value from 51 to 99 is extracted.

As for the light irradiation effect, if the jackpot lottery result is a loss, "no effect" is determined when a random number between 0 and 90 is extracted, and "with effect" when a random number between 91 and 99 is extracted. is determined, and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, when a random number of 0 to 90 is extracted, "no effect" is determined, and when a random number of 91 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, In the case of the 16R normal jackpot, a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted to determine "with effect", and in the case of a 4R variable jackpot, "no effect" is determined when a random value of 0 to 90 is extracted. On the other hand, when a random number of 91 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability variable jackpot, "with effect" is determined by always extracting a random number of 0 to 99. .

Regarding the first operation effect, if the big hit lottery result is a loss, "no effect" is determined when a random number of 0 to 95 is extracted, while "with effect" is determined when a random value of 96 to 99 is extracted. ” is determined, and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, if a random number of 0 to 50 is extracted, “no effect” is determined, and if a random value of 51 to 99 is extracted, “with effect” is determined. , In the case of the 16R normal jackpot, when a random number of 0 to 50 is extracted, ``no effect'' is determined, and when a random number of 51 to 99 is extracted, ``with effect'' is determined, and the 4R probability variable jackpot is determined. In the case of , when a random value of 0 to 85 is extracted, "no effect" is determined, while when a random value of 86 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined. When a random number value of ~95 is extracted, "no effect" is determined, while when a random number value of 96 to 99 is extracted, "with effect" is determined.

Regarding the second operation effect, if the jackpot lottery result is a loss, a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted to determine "no effect", and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, a random value of 0 to 97 is extracted. Then, ``no effect'' is determined, while when a random value of 98-99 is extracted, ``with effect'' is determined, and in the case of a 16R normal jackpot, a random value of 0-99 is always extracted. In the case of a 4R probability variable jackpot, "no effect" is determined when a random value of 0 to 90 is extracted, while "no effect" is determined when a random value of 91 to 99 is extracted. ”is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability variable jackpot, when a random value of 0 to 60 is extracted, “no effect” is determined, and when a random value of 61 to 99 is extracted, “with effect” is determined. be.

According to such a performance lottery table, a combination pattern in which performances such as a blowing performance, a light irradiation performance, a first operation performance, and a second operation performance are generated at the same time differs in probability according to the type of loss or big win. That is, it is possible to make it easier to guess the kind of loss or big win according to the combination pattern of effects that occurs.

Also, as is clear from the contents of the regulations regarding the operation presentation, the first operation presentation using the operation member 2000 of the first operation unit 9A is preferred over the second operation presentation using the push button 3000 of the second operation unit 9B. appears more frequently. That is, since the frequency of use of the push button 3000 used in the second operation effect is lower than that of the operation member 2000 used in the first operation effect, the cross button irrelevant to the operation effect placed near the push button 3000 is used. In addition to preventing erroneous operation of buttons such as 3100, by providing the operating member 2000, which is frequently used, in an independent operating unit, it is possible to easily and exclusively design wiring and substrates.

A plurality of slits 150a are formed in the support member 150, and a plurality of LEDs (not shown) provided on the light emitting substrate are positioned so as to face the plurality of slits 150a. An outer light guide member 151 and an inner light guide member 152 are attached to the front portion of the support member 150 along the plurality of slits 150a. The LEDs are arranged at predetermined intervals (for example, intervals of 20 mm to 30 mm) in consideration of securing the amount of light and cost.

The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are each made of a plate-like member, and are formed so that the inner light guide member 152 is larger than the outer light guide member 151 . The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are positioned laterally apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Since the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 have the same configuration except that they are different in size and arrangement, the inner light guide member 152 will be described below for convenience.

As shown in FIGS. 25 to 29, the inner light guide member 152 has a rear entrance end surface 152a serving as a light entrance surface and a front exit surface 152b serving as a light exit surface.

In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the central decorative unit 14a and the right decorative unit 14b will be described.

[Central decoration unit 14a]
The central decorative unit 14a has an inverted triangular shape when viewed from the front, for example, by emitting light at the start of a big win. As shown in FIGS. 30-34, the central decorative unit 14a has a main body cover 140, a front cover 141, an upper cover 142, a support member 143, a light emitting substrate 144, a light shielding member 145, and a plurality of light guiding members 146a-146c. The support member 143, the light emitting substrate 144, the light shielding member 145, and the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are covered with the main body cover 140, the front cover 141, and the upper cover 142. FIG. The front portion 141a of the front cover 141 is translucent or transparent and has light transmission properties. The front surface portion 141a is a surface that protrudes forward from the bottom to the top, and is arranged to form a translucent surface that is inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

A support member 143 is attached inside the body cover 140 . A light emitting substrate 144 is attached to the front portion of the support member 143 , and a light blocking member 145 is attached so as to be positioned in front of the light emitting substrate 144 . A plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are attached to the lower portion of the light shielding member 145 at predetermined intervals.

A plurality of LEDs 144a corresponding to the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are provided on the lower front surface of the light emitting substrate 144, and a plurality of LEDs 144a provided above the light shielding member 145 described later are provided on the upper front surface of the light emitting substrate 144. A plurality of LEDs 144b corresponding to the openings 145c are provided.

A partition wall 145a is formed in the light shielding member 145 so as to partition the upper portion and the lower portion thereof. A plurality of slits 145ba, 145bb, and 145bc are formed in the lower portion of the light shielding member 145 so as to correspond to the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c. A plurality of openings 145c are formed in the upper portion of the light shielding member 145 so that the LEDs 144b of the light emitting substrate 144, which will be described later, are exposed. The upper surface of the partition wall 145a of the light shielding member 145 is subjected to a surface treatment that easily reflects the light from the LED 144b forward, and the peripheral edge of the opening 145c is also concave so as to easily reflect the light from the LED 144b forward. formed in the shape of

Each of the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c is composed of a plate-like member and formed in a substantially U-shape or substantially V-shape when viewed from the front. The plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are formed so that the upper one is smaller than the lower one. Member 146c is smaller. The plurality of light guide members 146a-146c are positioned at predetermined intervals from each other.

As shown in FIG. 34, the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c have incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca that serve as light entrance surfaces, and exit front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb that serve as light exit surfaces. The incident rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca are arranged so as to face the slits 145ba, 145bb, 145bc of the light shielding member 145. As shown in FIG. The output front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb are arranged along the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141 that is inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

Like the incident rear end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the right decorative member 15, the incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, and 146ca are formed in a sawtooth shape so as to form irregularities along the longitudinal direction. As a result, the light from the LED 144a incident on the incident rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca travels while diffusing in the interior of the light guide members 146a to 146c in the longitudinal direction. The emission front end faces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb are formed in a so-called diamond-cut shape like the emission front end face 152b of the inner light guide member 152 of the right decorative member 15 described above. As a result, the light traveling from the incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, and 146ca into the light guide members 146a to 146c spreads to some extent and is projected forward.

According to the central decoration unit 14a, the light emitted from the light emitting front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb of the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c is guided outward through the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141. However, the emission front end faces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb are positioned relatively close to the front facet 141a, and along the emission front end faces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb, elongated regions with relatively high light intensity are formed. In the lower region of the front cover 141, light from the outgoing front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb appears as a plurality of lines. On the other hand, in the upper region of the front cover 141, the light from the plurality of LEDs 144b is diffusely reflected by the periphery of the opening 145c of the light blocking member 145 and radiated outward through the front surface 141a of the front cover 141. , reflected light is guided to the front surface portion 141a from the back farther than the light emitting front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb of the light guide members 146a to 146c with respect to the front surface portion 141a. It appears as a wide light distribution in which the light spreads out. In other words, from the obliquely downward direction of the front cover 141, which is the line of sight of the player, it appears that a line of light appears three-dimensionally from below in the evenly vague light from above.

[Right decorative unit 14b]
The right decoration unit 14b performs an effect by generating a sound or emitting light at the start of a big win, for example. As shown in FIGS. 35-40, the right decorative unit 14b has a speaker unit 10A, a main body support member 147A, a main body cover 147B, a front cover 147C, a light emitting substrate 148, and a light guide member 149. FIG. The speaker unit 10A and the light emitting board 148 are attached to the rear part of the main body supporting member 147A, and the light emitting board 148 is attached to the front part of the speaker unit 10A. The light guide member 149 is attached inside the front side of the main body support member 147A and covered with a front cover 147C. The front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape, and the vibrating surface of the speaker 10b and the light guide member 149 are visible through the gap.

The speaker unit 10A has an opening (not shown) that exposes the vibration surface (sound output portion) of the speaker 10b toward the front, and the light emitting substrate 148 is attached along the periphery of this opening. A plurality of LEDs 148a are provided on the light emitting substrate 148 so as to be arranged in a ring along the periphery of the speaker 10b.

The main body support member 147A is formed with an opening 147Aa that exposes the vibration surface of the speaker 10b and the plurality of LEDs 148a of the light emitting substrate 148 and allows the light guide member 149 to be attached to the peripheral edge of the opening 147Aa.

The light guide member 149 includes a cylindrical portion 149a for guiding forward the sound generated on the vibration surface of the speaker 10b, an incident rear end surface 149b which is located behind the peripheral edge of the cylindrical portion 149a and serves as a light incident surface, and a peripheral edge of the cylindrical portion 149a. It has an emission front end surface 149c on the front side, which serves as a light emission surface, and a projecting portion 149d extending forward while spreading from the peripheral edge of the emission front end surface 149c.

The vibration surface of the speaker 10b is arranged at the rear portion of the cylindrical portion 149a, and the sound generated on the vibration surface is guided forward through the cylindrical portion 149a. The incident rear end surface 1449b is arranged so as to face the LED 148a of the light emitting substrate 148 . Like the incident rear end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the right decorative member 15, the incident rear end surface 149b is formed in a sawtooth shape so as to form irregularities along the circumferential direction. As a result, the light from the LED 148a incident on the incident rear end surface 149b travels while diffusing in the cylindrical portion 149a in the circumferential direction.

The emission front end surface 149c is located a predetermined distance rearward from the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. Similarly to the incident rear end surface 149b, the output front end surface 149c is also formed in a sawtooth shape so as to form irregularities along the circumferential direction. As a result, the light that has traveled from the incident rear end surface 149b to the cylindrical portion 149a is projected forward so as to appear ring-shaped while spreading mainly in the circumferential direction when viewed from the front.

The protruding portion 149d is formed so that a part of both left and right sides partially extends forward, and the tip thereof is arranged so as to abut on the back side of the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. In addition, the projecting portion 149d may be arranged so as to be close to the back side of the front surface 147Ca without contacting it. Further, instead of the projecting portion 149d, the emission front end surface 149c may be arranged to abut on the back side of the front surface 147Ca, or may be arranged to be close thereto.

According to such a right decoration unit 14b, it is possible to perform an effect in which the periphery of the speaker 10b appears to shine in a ring shape in accordance with the sound generated from the speaker 10b. In addition, since the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape, it is likely to be damaged by external impact or pressure. Since it is in this state, it is possible to effectively prevent damage due to impact or pressure from the outside. That is, the net-like (lattice-like) front cover 147C guides the sound from the speaker 10b along the light guide member 149 to the rear surface of the front cover 147C, so that the sound from the speaker 10b can be transmitted without impairing the appearance. can be communicated to the outside world.
Moreover, since the light guide member 149 functions as a support member for the front cover 147C, the rigidity of the front cover 147C can be increased.

According to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained.

According to the configuration of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings, an air flow flows out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e as sound is output from the speaker 10c. At this time, if the opening/closing member 115 of the air blowing mechanism 110 is in a state in which the space 110a is opened, the air flow from the opening 10ec is directed straight toward the air blowing port 80, and is directed from the air blowing port 80 toward the firing handle 26b. The wind flows with sufficient wind pressure. As a result, the player can feel the wind in the hand holding the firing handle 26b, and the sound from the speaker 10c can also feel deep bass due to Helmholtz resonance with the sound output from the blower port 80 together with the wind.

On the other hand, when the open/close member 115 of the air blowing mechanism 110 is in a state of closing the space 110a, and the air flow from the opening 10ec is guided downward in the space 110a by bending at a substantially right angle, the underside The wind is discharged from the vent 8ca of the cover 8c, and the wind is no longer guided to the shooting handle 26b. As a result, the player does not feel the wind in the hand holding the shooting handle 26b, and can feel the deep bass sound only from the speaker 10c due to Helmholtz resonance with the sound output from the air vent 8ca along with the wind. .

That is, simply by switching the direction of the air flowing out from the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 by the blowing mechanism 110, it is possible to make the user feel the bass and the wind, or only the bass, so that the speaker unit 10 can be downsized and simplified. It is possible to flexibly perform production by sound and wind while aiming for

Further, by simply switching the direction of the air coming out of the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 by means of the air blowing mechanism 110, it is possible to feel the sound and the air or only the sound. 8c and the air vent 8ca are formed, and the air blowing mechanism 110 is arranged between them and the speaker unit 10. Therefore, the structure of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings can be reduced in manufacturing cost. , flexibility in design, and excellent maintainability.

In addition, even the bass-reflex type speaker unit 10 whose enclosure 10e has a relatively large volume can be arranged in a space that does not interfere with the hands of the player handling the game balls stored in the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18. , the speaker device can be efficiently laid out while securing the arrangement space for the speaker unit 10. - 特許庁

In addition, since the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e contacts the bottom portion of the upper plate main body 17p and the lower left portion 10eb contacts the lower plate main body 18p, the upper plate 17p is supported, and the sound from the enclosure 10e is generated according to the operation of the speaker 10c. The vibration is transmitted to the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18, and the jamming of the game balls on the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18 can be effectively eliminated by this vibration.

Further, the first operation effect using the operation member 2000 is set to occur more frequently than the second operation effect using the push button 3000. While provided independently in the unit 9A, the less frequently used push button 3000 is provided on the common board 3200 that also serves as the ball lending button 23 and the return button 24, so that the operation member 2000 and the push button can be arranged at positions that are easy to use according to the frequency of use. By arranging the buttons 3000 individually, it is possible to simplify the wiring to each board, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and the arrangement space.

In addition, the operation member 2000, which is used frequently, is remembered as having a circular shape, while the push button 3000, which is used infrequently, is easily remembered as having a square shape different from a circular shape. can be provided as an easily distinguishable outer shape, and as a result, it is possible to make it easier to use a plurality of operating means. In addition, since the square push button 3000 and the cross button 3100 are arranged adjacent to each other so that part of the ends that are linear portions face each other, a plurality of these buttons can be used even in a narrow space. button can be placed.

In addition, when the conditions for shifting to a game state advantageous to the player, such as the 16R normal jackpot or the 16R probability variable jackpot, the light irradiation effect is always executed, and at the same time, the blowing effect is sometimes executed. , the hand holding the firing handle 26b can sense either visually or tactilely that the light irradiation effect or the air blowing effect is being executed, and the transition to an advantageous game state without missing such effect. can perceive to do. Moreover, when the wind effect is executed, the sound effect by the deep bass sound from the speaker 10c is also executed at the same time, and the vibration by the heavy bass sound can be felt.

Further, for example, in the right decorative member 15, the incident rear end surfaces 152a of the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are cut with a sawtooth lens so that the light is incident while diffusing in the longitudinal direction in which the LEDs are arranged. While the light efficiently travels through the light guide, the front emission end surfaces 152b of the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 pass the light guided into the light guide from the rear entrance end surface 152a into a diamond-cut lens. Since the light can be efficiently scattered outward by cutting, it is possible to eliminate color unevenness and efficiently irradiate the light.

Further, for example, in the right decorative unit 14b, the projecting portion 149d of the light guide member 149 is arranged so as to abut against the back surface of the mesh-like front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C, and the emission front end surface 149c is separated from the front surface 147Ca by a predetermined distance, Since the LEDs 148a located on the side of the incident rear end surface 149b can be hidden from the front of the front cover 147C, the LEDs 148a located on the side of the incident rear end surface 149b can be hidden from view without impairing the appearance. The sound from the speaker 10b can be emitted to the outside without any trouble.

Further, for example, in the central decoration unit 14a, the light emitting front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb of the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are located at a distance farther from the light emitting substrate 144 than the periphery of the opening 145c of the light shielding member 145 where the LED 144b is exposed. Since it is arranged near the front part 141a of the front cover 141, the light of the LED 144b, which is diffusely reflected at the peripheral edge part of the opening 145c and is guided forward, passes through the body of the light guide members 146a to 146c, and the emission front end face 146ab. , 146bb, and 146cb, the light from the LED 144a is divided into light that seems to be diffused on average and linear light. can be realized.

As a modified example of the blower mechanism 110, the one shown in FIG. 41 may be applied. The air blowing mechanism 110 shown in FIG. 41 is provided with a rotatable shutter member 117 capable of exclusively opening and closing the lower part of the space 110a and the opening 110b. As shown in FIG. 41(a), the shutter member 117 is positioned so as to take a horizontal posture when guiding the flow of air from the opening 10ec (not shown) to the opening 110b. At this time, the wind is not completely guided downward in the space 110a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 41B, the shutter member 117 rotates from the horizontal posture shown in FIG. Move to a standing position. At this time, the flow of the wind that is going to go straight to the side of the space 110a is obstructed, and the wind is guided so as to bend at a substantially right angle downward of the space 110a. According to such a blower mechanism 110, when the wind is guided to the blower port 80 (not shown), the wind is guided to the blower port 80 with sufficient wind pressure without leaking to the lower part of the space 110a. can be done.
