A second drive cam follower 136 is engaged in an arc-shaped second arm cam groove 137 extending to the front.

  In the 1st side part production mechanism 111 and the 2nd side part production mechanism 112 provided with such composition, the 1st side is driven by driving the 1st side part production drive motor 124 and the 2nd side part production drive motor 134. The stage effect actor 121 and the second side stage actor 131 are moved in the left-right direction, removed to the side of the display opening window 101a and hidden behind the front cover member 115 (FIGS. 13 and 16). Reference) and an effect execution state (see FIG. 17) in which the first side effect actor 121 and the second side effect agent 131 are arranged in front of the display opening window 101a. Specifically, the first side effect drive motor 124 is driven to rotate the first arm drive piece 125 clockwise when viewed from the front of the game board 6 and the second side effect drive motor 134 is driven. Then, when the second arm drive piece 135 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the game board 6 (see FIG. 16A), the first drive cam follower 126 pushes up the first arm cam groove 127 to the first side. The part rotation arm 120 is rotated, and the second drive cam follower 136 pushes up the second arm cam groove 137 to rotate the second side part rotation arm 130. As a result, the first side effector 121 and the second side effector 131 move from the left and right sides of the display opening window 101a to the center side, and horizontally in front of the display opening window 101a (display part 42a). It abuts in a lined state and converts it into an effect execution state. In addition, the 1st contact side part 121a in which the 2nd side part production | presentation actor 131 can contact | abut among the 1st side part production | presentation actors 121, and the 1st side part production | presentation part out of the 2nd side part production | presentation actor 131 are shown. Magnets 140 are housed in the second abutting side portions 131a with which the object 121 can abut (see FIGS. 15 (e) and 17 (a)). Therefore, in the performance execution state, the magnets 140 are attracted to each other, and the first side effect director 121 and the second side effect agent 131 are combined with one decorative body (specifically, a mask having a butterfly shape). The first side effector 121 and the second side effector 131 in the effect execution state are inadvertently separated by the attractive force (magnetic force) generated between the magnets 140. Can be prevented.

  In addition, the first side effect drive motor 124 is driven from the effect execution state to rotate the first arm drive piece 125 counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the game board 6, and the second side effect drive motor 134. When the second arm drive piece 135 is rotated clockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 6 (see FIG. 17A), the first drive cam follower 126 pushes down the first arm cam groove 127 to make the first The side rotation arm 120 is rotated, and the second drive cam follower 136 pushes down the edge of the second arm cam groove 137 to rotate the second side rotation arm 130. As a result, the first side effect director 121 and the second side effect actor 131 are separated from each other and moved from the center side of the display opening window 101a to the left and right sides, and in front of the display opening window 101a (display unit 42a). Is hidden behind the lower extension of the front cover member 115 and converted into a performance non-execution state (see FIG. 13B).

  Here, in the effect execution state, as shown in FIG. 17B, the arc-shaped first arm cam groove 127 is indicated by a two-dot chain line in the rotation locus A1 of the first drive cam follower 126 (FIG. 17B). The second arm cam groove 137 having an arc shape is separated from the rotation locus A2 of the second drive cam follower 136 (the arc line A2 indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 17B). The posture is warped in the direction. Therefore, when converting from the effect execution state to the effect non-execution state (when trying to separate the first side effect agent 121 and the second side effect agent 131 in the contact state left and right), the first The drive cam follower 126 can sufficiently press the edge of the first arm cam groove 127, and the second drive cam follower 136 can sufficiently press the edge of the second arm cam groove 137. Thereby, the 1st side part effector 121 and the 2nd side part effector 131 of a suction state can be separated easily.

  Further, in the effect non-execution state, as shown in FIG. 16B, the arc-shaped first arm cam groove 127 is pivotally attached to the first side rotation arm 120 from the rotation locus A1 of the first drive cam follower 126. The second arm cam groove 137 has an arc-shaped second arm cam groove 137 from the rotation locus A2 of the second drive cam follower 136 to the second side rotation arm 130. It becomes the attitude | position which inclines slightly to the axis | shaft attachment part side (left side in FIG.16 (b)), and inclines slightly. Therefore, when converting from the effect non-execution state to the effect execution state (when trying to bring the first side effect agent 121 and the second side effect agent 131 apart from each other to the left and right), the first drive cam follower. 126 can begin to slide smoothly in the first arm cam groove 127, and the second drive cam follower 136 can begin to slide smoothly in the second arm cam groove 137. As a result, the edge of the first arm cam groove 127 presses the first drive cam follower 126 by the torque generated by the weight of the first side effector 121, or is generated by the weight of the second side effector 131. Even if the edge portion of the second arm cam groove 137 presses the second drive cam follower 136 due to the torque, the first drive cam follower 126 and the second drive cam follower 136 can be moved without hindrance, and the first side effect portion The object 121 and the second side effect accessory 131 can be easily separated.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the central effect mechanism 114 includes a central effect agent 141 that is an effect agent that is mounted on the front surface of the upper unit base 110 so as to be vertically movable, and the central effect agent 141. And a drive transmission mechanism 143 that transmits the driving force output from the central effect drive motor 142 to the central effect agent 141. Then, the central effect driving motor 142 is arranged on the side of the region where the central effect agent 141 moves up and down (right side in FIG. 18A), and the central effect driving motor 142 and the central effect actor 141 are arranged. They are connected by a drive transmission mechanism 143.

  The central director 141 is mounted on the front surface of the upper unit base 110 via a slide base 145 (see FIG. 18B) and is engaged in a state in which it can move up and down along the slide direction of the slide base 145. The first moving area F1 located on the top dead center side of the central effect actor 141, the second moving area F2 located below the first moving area F1, and the second moving area F2. It is configured to be able to move up and down over the third movement region F3 located on the bottom dead center side, which is below (see FIGS. 19D and 19H). Furthermore, at the top dead center of the central effector 141, the effect is not performed by hiding behind the front light emitting decoration part 59 of the front structure 23 by moving away from the display opening window 101a (FIG. 3). In FIG. 19D, the bottom dead center is positioned in front of the upper part of the display opening window 101a so as to be in an effect execution state (see FIG. 19H). Further, a projection-like accessory engaging portion 147 with which a part of the drive transmission mechanism 143 engages is provided on the rear surface of the central effect accessory 141 (see FIG. 18B).

  The drive transmission mechanism 143 includes a horizontally-long arm-shaped accessory connecting portion 150 having a central effect actor 141 connected to the tip, and a rotation mechanism portion that is pivotally attached to the output shaft of the central effect drive motor 142 in a co-rotating state. 151 in a state in which it can be engaged. Further, the base end portion (the left end portion in FIG. 18B) of the accessory connecting portion 150 can be pivoted to a position located below the central effect drive motor 142 on the front surface of the upper unit base 110. At the base end portion, a substantially fan-shaped engagement receiving portion 152 is extended toward the upper central production drive motor 142 side, and the extended end portion of the engagement receiving portion 152 (specifically, an accessory A fitting recess 153 into which a part of the rotation mechanism 151 can be fitted is cut out at an extended end portion formed in an arc shape around the rotation axis of the connecting portion 150. . Furthermore, an engagement groove 154 is provided at the distal end of the accessory connection part 150 to engage the accessory engaging part 147 of the central effect accessory 141 in a slidable state. In the engagement groove 154, as shown in FIG. 20, the first groove portion 154a located on the distal end side of the accessory connecting portion 150, and the rotating shaft side of the accessory connecting portion 150 from the first groove portion 154a. The second groove portion 154b that is positioned is in communication with the first groove portion 154b, and the first groove portion 154a is set to be bent so as to be released downward from the extension line L2 of the second groove portion 154b. When the central effect accessory 141 is located in the first movement region F1 or the third movement region F3, the accessory engagement portion 147 engages with the first groove portion 154a (FIGS. 19D, 19H), and 20 (a)), when the central effect accessory 141 is located in the second movement region F2, the accessory engagement portion 147 is configured to engage with the second groove portion 154b (FIG. 19 (a)). To (c) and FIG. 20 (b)).

  Further, the rotation mechanism 151 can be rotated in one direction (clockwise indicated by a thick arrow in FIG. 18B) by the driving force of the central effect drive motor 142, and the rotation mechanism 151 Two engaging protrusions (first engaging protrusion 156 and second engaging protrusion 157) that can be engaged with the engagement receiving portion 152 are arranged along the rotation direction of the rotation mechanism portion 151 on the outer peripheral portion. The circular arc surface located on the opposite side of the two engaging projections 156 and 157 across the rotation center in the outer peripheral portion of the rotation mechanism portion 151 cannot be engaged with the engagement receiving portion 152. It is set to a radial dimension. Then, the width of the first engagement protrusion 156 located on the front side in the rotation direction (the width along the circumferential direction of the rotation mechanism portion 151) is made larger than the width of the second engagement protrusion 157 located on the rear side in the rotation direction. Also, an arc-shaped sliding portion 157a centering on the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism portion 151 is formed at the distal end portion of the second engagement protrusion 157, and the sliding portion 157a is a useful object. It is configured to be able to slide on the extended end portion of the engagement receiving portion 152 of the connecting portion 150.

  In the central effect mechanism 114 having such a configuration, in the effect non-execution state of the central effect mechanism 114 (the effect non-execution state of the central effect agent 141), it is shown in FIG. 19 (d) and FIG. 20 (a). As described above, the side portion (FIG. 20 (FIG. 20 () a), the right portion) is engaged, and the leading end of the accessory connecting portion 150 is prevented from rotating downward to maintain the central effect accessory 141 at the top dead center. When the center effect drive motor 142 is driven from this effect non-execution state to rotate the rotation mechanism portion 151 in one direction, as shown in FIG. Is disengaged and the turning mechanism 151 is disengaged from the accessory connecting portion 150 (the disengagement state of the drive transmission mechanism 143), and the turning of the accessory connecting portion 150 and the central effect accessory 141 are performed. Is allowed to descend. As a result, the central director 141 falls from the top dead center (first movement area F1) to the bottom dead center (third movement area F3) by its own weight, and is converted into an effect execution state (FIGS. 19 (f) to (f)). h)).

  When the center effect driving motor 142 is continuously driven to continuously rotate the rotation mechanism 151 in one direction, the first engagement protrusion 156 is engaged with the engagement receiver 152 as shown in FIG. The engaging mechanism 152 is engaged with the recess 153 and the rotating mechanism 151 and the accessory connecting part 150 are engaged and interlocked (the interlocking state of the drive transmission mechanism 143). In a), it is pressed toward the left side, which is the direction away from the central director 141. With this pressing force, the leading end of the accessory connecting part 150 is rotated upward, and the central effect accessory 141 rises from the bottom dead center (see FIGS. 19B and 19C). When the center effect drive motor 142 is further driven and the rotation mechanism 151 is continuously rotated in one direction, the first engagement protrusion 156 is disengaged from the engagement recess 153 and the side of the second engagement protrusion 157 (see FIG. 19 (c), the left side facing the first engagement projection 156) contacts the side of the engagement receiving portion 152 (right side in FIG. 19 (c)), and the second engagement projection 157 is The engagement receiving portion 152 is pressed, and the turning of the accessory connecting portion 150 and the rise of the central effect accessory 141 are continued. When the rotation mechanism 151 further rotates and the second engagement projection 157 continues to press the engagement receiving portion 152, the sliding portion 157a replaces the side portion of the second engagement projection 157. The center effect actor 141 reaches the top dead center by coming into contact with the section 152 and becomes in the effect non-execution state. Here, since the sliding portion 157a is formed in an arc shape centering on the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism portion 151, when the rotation mechanism portion 151 is continuously rotated, the sliding portion 157a is engaged with the engagement receiving portion. 152 is slid (sliding state of the drive transmission mechanism 143), and the posture of the engagement receiving portion 152 and thus the posture of the accessory connecting portion 150 are maintained. As a result, the central director 141 stops at the top dead center (see FIG. 19D). When the rotation mechanism 151 further rotates and the engagement between the second engagement protrusion 157 and the engagement receiver 152 is released, the center effect actor 141 falls due to its own weight, and the effect is executed again. Convert to

  In this manner, the drive transmission mechanism 143 can be converted into the interlocked state, the sliding state, and the disengaged state by the rotation of the rotation mechanism unit 151. In the interlocked state, the central effect is generated by the operation of the accessory connecting unit 150. The accessory 141 rises from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, the posture of the accessory connecting portion 150 is maintained in the sliding state, and the central director 141 stops at the top dead center, and the central director in the disengaged state. Since the accessory 141 falls from the top dead center to the bottom dead center due to its own weight, the central directing agent 141 can be easily raised, stopped, and dropped using a single drive source. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the structure and control for the operation of the central director 141 from being complicated. In the interlocking state, the engaging protrusions 156 and 157 press the engaging receiving portion 152 by the rotation of the rotating mechanism portion 151, and the rotating mechanism portion 151 and the accessory connecting portion 150 are interlocked to slide. In the state, since the sliding portion 157a slides on the accessory connecting portion 150 so that the posture of the accessory connecting portion 150 is maintained, the operation of rising, stopping and falling of the central effect accessory 141 is performed. Can be easily realized.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (a), in the state where the central effect actor 141 is located in the first movement region F1 and the accessory engagement portion 147 is engaged with the first groove portion 154a, the central effect actor An angle α formed by a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of 141 (a direction along a two-dot chain line H in FIG. 20A) and an extending direction of the first groove 154a (an extension line L1 of the first groove 154a). The angle β formed by the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the central director 141 and the extending direction of the second groove 154b (extension line L2 of the second groove 154) is set. Thereby, it is possible to make it easier to push up the accessory engaging portion 147 to the top dead center side of the central effect accessory 141. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently transmit the turning power of the accessory connecting part 150 and to stably raise the central effect accessory 141 to the top dead center. In addition, when the central director 141 is stopped at the top dead center, the actor engaging portion 147 can be stably supported from below, and the central director 141 is inadvertently lowered from the top dead center. To avoid the inconvenience.

Next, the start winning guidance unit 28 will be described.

  Then, when the distribution member 173 in the first distribution preparation state receives the game ball in the first ball receiving space 216, the game ball presses the first distribution guide unit 211 and causes the distribution member 173 to move to the weight 213. Rotating against the rotational moment due to, the sorting member 173 is converted to the second sorting ready state. Then, the 1st distribution guide part 211 becomes the attitude | position which inclined down toward the 1st winning guide path 171 side, and the game ball in the 1st ball receiving space part 216 rolls on the 1st distribution guide part 211. To the first winning taxiway 171. On the other hand, when the distribution member 173 in the second distribution preparation state receives the game ball in the second ball receiving space portion 217, the game ball presses the second distribution guide portion 212 and causes the distribution member 173 to move to the weight 213. Rotating against the rotational moment due to, the sorting member 173 is converted to the first sorting ready state. Then, the 2nd distribution guide part 212 becomes the attitude | position which inclined down toward the 2nd winning guidance path 172 side, and the game ball in the 2nd ball receiving space part 217 rolls on the 2nd distribution guide part 212. To the second winning taxiway 172. Therefore, in the start winning guidance unit 28, the game balls that have entered the guidance receiving port 166 are alternately distributed to the first winning guide path 171 or the second winning guide path 172 by the sorting member 173, and the gaming balls are placed on the same winning guide path. Is configured to avoid continuous inflow.

  In addition, like the modification of the distribution member 173 shown in FIG. 27, the extended width of each distribution guide part 211,212 (from the swing shaft insertion part 202 to the side end part of each distribution guide part 211,212). 26) is set to be shorter than the respective distribution guide portions 211 and 212 shown in FIG. 26, the first distribution guide portion 211 is brought into contact with the partition wall 178 of the first winning guide path 171 and the second vibration is determined. Avoiding the contact between the minute guide portion 212 and the partition wall 178 of the second winning guide path 172, the lower edge portion of the distribution base portion 201 is brought into contact with the lower portion of the distribution storage recess 199, and the first distribution ready state or the first You may make it maintain a 2 distribution preparation state. With this setting, since the inclination increases in the first distribution preparation state and the second distribution preparation state, the weight 213 can be further shifted from the position directly above the swing shaft member 203 to the side. It becomes possible to further prevent the 173 from swinging inadvertently from each sorting preparation state.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the start winning guidance unit 28 forms a diffusing lens portion 220 at a location outside the first communication path 186 and the second communication path 196 in the back surface flow path forming portion 163. Further, the guide cover 162 is located at a position away from the opaque decorative protrusion 162a (see FIG. 21C and FIG. 22) provided on the front surface, and at least the front of the diffusing lens unit 220 in the guide unit base 161. Each part is set in a translucent state, and the light irradiated from the periphery of the guide cover 162 into the start winning guide unit 28 is caused to reach the diffusing lens unit 220. Is configured to look shining.

Next, a control system centering on the game control device 45 that controls the progress of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 28, the game control device 45 includes a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores a control program for game control, a RAM that is used as a work area during game control, an input unit (input) Interface), an output unit (output interface), and the like. And various detection devices (magnetic sensor 90, radio wave sensor 224, first start port switch 51, second start port switch 52, gate switch 47, winning port switch 48, count switch 49, front frame opening detection switch 226, transparent member In response to detection signals from the holding frame release detection switch 227, the power supply device 228, etc., various processes such as a special game state (big hit state), notification to the player, and a power failure response process are performed. Furthermore, each production | presentation role (The 1st rotation production | presentation role 106, the 2nd rotation production | presentation role 107, the center raising / lowering production | presentation role 108, the 1st side part production | presentation role 121, the 2nd through the production control device 230. It functions as a control means for controlling the movement of the side effect agent 131 and the central effect agent 141), or the payout control device 231, the big prize opening solenoid 233 for opening and closing the big prize opening 30, and the opening and closing member 91. A command signal is transmitted to the general-purpose solenoid 92, the collective display device 35, the external information terminal 234, etc. for opening / closing the game, and the game is comprehensively controlled.

  Next, the operation of the game board 6 (pachinko gaming machine 1) having the above-described configuration, in particular, the operation of the second start winning device 70 and the start winning guiding unit 28 at the time of game execution, and each before turning off the power supply The setting of the director will be described.

  First, when a game is executed, a game ball launched from a launching device (not shown) jumps into the game area 5 and flows down and wins (passes) the usual starting gate 24. A general-purpose variable display game is executed, a control signal that differs depending on the result form of the general-purpose variable display game is transmitted to the collective display device 35, and a normal symbol indicating the result form is displayed on the collective display device 35. . Then, when the result mode of the normal variation display game is in a state of “winning”, the opening / closing member 91 of the second start winning device 70 is changed from the normal closed state to the open state, and the game ball is The state is converted to a state where it is easy to win the second start winning device 70, and the opening / closing member 91 is maintained in the closed state when the state indicating "displacement" is obtained. Further, when the game ball wins the normal chart start gate 24 during the execution of the general fluctuation display game, the game control device 45 sets a preset memory upper limit for the execution of the general fluctuation display game based on the winning. A number (for example, four) is memorized and held, and after the execution of the normal fluctuation display game being executed, the usual fluctuation display game for the hold is sequentially executed.

  In addition, a game ball flowing down the game area 5 flows downward from the side of the front structure 23, or after entering the ball introduction path 64, passes through the stage portion 61 and the guide flow path 62 to guide the starting prize. When flowing into the guidance receiving port 166 of the unit 28, the sorting member 173 guides the game ball to either the first winning guiding path 171 or the second winning guiding path 172. Then, when the game ball flows down the first winning guiding path 171, the first winning winning opening 53 is won, and the gaming control device 45 sets the first starting winning opening 53 as a winning opportunity (starting condition). A special figure variation display game is executed. In addition, when the game ball flows down the second winning guiding path 172, the game control device 45 wins the second start winning port 54, and the game control device 45 takes the second start winning port 54 as a trigger (start condition). 2 A special figure variation display game is executed.

  Furthermore, when the game ball flowing down the game ball passage 93 flows into (wins) the second start winning device 70 (specifically, the second start winning device 70 with the opening and closing member 91 in the open state), the game control device 45 performs the second operation. The second special figure fluctuation display game is executed in response to a winning in the starting winning device 70 (starting condition).

  During the execution of each special figure variation display game, the collective display device 35 displays a special symbol indicating the result mode, and the effect control device 230 displays an effect display (specifically, a plurality of effects). Control is performed to cause the display device 42 to execute an effect display in which the identification symbol is variably displayed and then stopped and displayed. Further, when the result mode of each special figure variation display game is “big hit”, the game control device 45 generates a special game state for a preset period and opens the big prize opening 30. While the game ball is converted to a state where it is easy to win the grand prize opening 30, if it is “out of”, the big prize opening 30 is kept closed and the game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 30. To regulate. And the production | presentation control apparatus 230 performs control which drives each production | presentation actor and performs production | presentation operation | movement based on progress of a special figure fluctuation display game.

  Further, if the game ball wins the first start winning port 53, the second starting winning port 54, or the second start winning device 70 during the occurrence of the special game state or the execution of each special figure variation display game, The control device 45 stores the execution of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the execution of the second special figure fluctuation display game based on these winnings as a starting memory, up to a preset upper limit number of memories (for example, four each). The reserved special figure fluctuation display game is sequentially executed after completion of the special figure fluctuation display game being held.

  In the second start winning device 70, an opening space 79 is formed on the front face of the start winning flow passage 75 by notching the upper end of the start decorative panel 76 toward the downstream side of the start winning flow passage 75. Therefore, even if the open / close member 91 is converted to the closed state when the game ball is about to win a prize in the second start winning device 70 with the open / close member 91 open, the open / close member 91 is opened at the ball receiving port 75a. And the inconvenience of being sandwiched between the start decoration panel 76 can be avoided. Therefore, the game can be progressed without delay. Further, since a part of the second startup light emitting decoration portion 81 faces the rear of the opening space 79, the light emission decoration previously blocked by the starting decoration panel 76 can be viewed from the opening space 79, and the second The decoration effect of the start winning device 70 can be improved.

  Further, in the start winning guide unit 28, the game balls that have entered the guide receiving port 166 of the start winning guide unit 28 are alternately distributed to the first winning guide path 171 or the second winning guide path 172 by the sorting member 173. Thus, the player can entertain the game ball distribution operation by the start winning guidance unit 28. In addition, the game ball that has entered the start winning guidance unit 28 wins with a bias toward either the first start winning opening or the second starting winning opening, and thus the first special figure variation display game or the second special figure fluctuation. It is possible to avoid the game being executed or the start-up hold being biased to any of the display games. Furthermore, since the protrusions 182 and 192 are provided in the respective downstream portions of the first winning guide passage 171 and the second winning guide passage 172 constituting the winning guide space portion 180 and set narrower than the upstream portion, The game balls (preceding balls) that can smoothly flow down the first winning guide path 171 and the second winning guide path 172, enter the start winning guide unit 28 first and are distributed to one winning guide path, It will be overtaken by the game ball (following ball) that has entered later and is distributed to the other winning guide path, and the subsequent ball wins ahead of the preceding ball (detected through the start switch) Can be suppressed. Further, since it is possible to suppress the inconvenience that the game ball that has flowed down the winning guidance path flows down while being disturbed toward the side, the game ball is smoothly guided to the first start winning port 53 or the second starting winning port 54. It is possible to prevent the starting winning guidance unit 28 from being discharged from the side opening 175 or the bottom opening 176. As a result, the game ball that has entered the start winning guidance unit 28 is in the first start winning opening 53 or the second starting winning opening 54 and is inconvenient (passes continuously through one start opening switch). Inconvenience) can be further suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the downstream portion is set narrower than the upstream portion by providing the protrusions 183 and 193 in the downstream portion of the ball flow path of the first start winning port 53 and the second starting winning port 54, the first start winning port It is possible to smoothly flow the game ball won in the 53 or the second start winning opening 54 to the start opening switch, and it is possible to suppress the subsequent ball from passing through the start opening switch before the preceding ball. . As a result, the game ball that has entered the start winning guide unit 28 is biased toward either the first start winning opening 53 or the second starting winning opening 54 (passes continuously through one start opening switch). Inconvenience can be further suppressed. Therefore, it is not necessary for the player to pay attention to the behavior of the game balls in the winning guiding paths 171 and 172, the game can be performed with peace of mind, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), the width a of the downstream portion of the winning guide paths 171 and 172 constituting the ball guiding space portion 180 is set to the upstream portion of the first starting winning port 53 and the second starting winning port 54. Since the width is set to be narrower than the width b, and the upstream portion (inlet) of the first start winning winning port 53 and the second starting winning port 54 is set wider than the downstream portion of the winning guiding paths 171 and 172, the winning guiding path 171 is set. , 172 can smoothly enter the first start winning opening 53 or the second starting winning opening 54 and are discharged from the side opening 175 or the bottom opening 176 to the outside of the starting winning induction unit 28. Can be prevented. Further, the center of the first winning guide path 171 and the center of the first start winning opening 53 are aligned, and the center of the second winning guide path 172 and the center of the second start winning opening 54 are aligned, so that the first winning guide path is aligned. 171, the second winning guiding path 172, the second starting winning port 54, and the members constituting the second starting winning port 54 are integrally formed, so that the guiding device and the winning device are separated from each other and stopped on the game board. Compared to the case where the guiding part and the winning opening are configured with different members even when wearing one device, the center of each is not displaced due to assembly or the like, and the ball guiding space part 180 flows down. The played game balls can smoothly win the first start winning port 53 or the second start winning port 54.

Next, before the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is shut off (specifically, the power is turned off in preparation work for transporting the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the game board 6 from the factory, in-store work after the business operation of the game shop is ended, etc.) Each stage actor before being shut off (turned off) (specifically, the first rotary stage actor 106 and the second rotary stage actor 107, which are each stage actor that is movable to perform the stage) The operations of the director 108, the first side director 121, the second side director 131, and the central director 141) will be described.
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 waiting state (when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on (power is on) and no game is being played), as shown in FIG. An effect execution state (first state) in which the effect actors move in accordance with the progress of the game when the game is played by being placed in the initial position and set in the effect non-execution state (first state). (2nd state different from the state) is appropriately converted. Note that at least when the power is turned on, the game control device 45 functions as an initialization unit, and converts a plurality of effect actors to an effect non-execution state (moves to an initial position). And in the production non-execution state effect, it is not necessarily a strong state (position) with respect to vibration, and if the gaming machine is transported in this state, it may be damaged. In addition, even if the power is turned on normally, the stage is moved to initialize the position of the stage effect (the position of the stage non-execution state). On the other hand, since it is in a strong vibration proof mode state (vibration proof state), if the power is turned off in this state, conveyance is also possible. However, if there are multiple productions, the state of the productions is undefined when the power is turned on, so the productions are initialized for each production, so all productions are simultaneously initialized. The vibration-resistant mode (state and position that can withstand vibration) is not entered. In view of this, in the present embodiment, each stage character is configured to be in the vibration proof mode triggered by a predetermined condition (specifically, operation of the vibration proof mode switch). Note that initialization may also be performed when an error occurs. A modification of the predetermined condition will be described later.

  In order to put each production character into a vibration proof mode, when a vibration proof mode switch (not shown) provided in the power device 228 is turned on when the power is turned on, the game control device is controlled from the control signal generator in the power device 228. An anti-vibration mode signal is output to 45 (see FIG. 28). The game control device 45 that has received the anti-vibration mode signal functions as anti-vibration mode conversion means and transmits a command signal to each of the accessory units 102 and 103 via the effect control device 230. In the upper accessory unit 103, Each production character 121, 131, 141 is converted into a character support state that supports each other. More specifically, in the upper actor unit 103, first, the central director 141 is moved to the bottom dead center to be in the stage of execution, and then the first side director 121 and the second side director. The object 131 is moved from the effect non-execution state. Then, as shown in FIG. 29, the side effect actors 121 and 131 are brought into contact with the left and right sides of the central effect actor 141, respectively, and are converted into an accessory support state (vibration resistance mode) that supports each other. Further, in the lower accessory unit 102, the first rotation effect agent 106, the second rotation effect agent 107, and the central elevating effect agent 108 are moved and converted into the effect execution state.

  In this way, the effect actors of each of the accessory units 102 and 103 are converted into the effect execution state (vibration-proof mode (the aforementioned accessory support state in the effect actors 121, 131, and 141 of the upper accessory unit 103)). Further, when the power switch of the power supply device 228 is operated to be turned off, the game control device 45 functions as a control means to cut off the power supply (specifically, power supply from the power supply device 228 to each part of the pachinko gaming machine 1). I do. Therefore, since the upper player unit 103 is converted to the vibration-proof mode, the earthquake or the pachinko gaming machine 1 transported after the game shop is closed (or the game board 6 is removed from the pachinko gaming machine 1 and transported alone. ), The pachinko gaming machine 1 (specifically, the game board 6) has the disadvantage that it is damaged by the vibration of the production actors 121, 131, 141, or is damaged by collision with other parts due to vibration. A separate member (buffer material for conveyance) can be suppressed without requiring it. It should be noted that the first turning effect agent 106, the second turning effect agent 107, and the center elevating effect agent 108 in the effect execution state are set to positions where they can come into contact with each other, and the lower accessory unit 102 Even if the director is configured to support each other in the support supporting state (vibration-proof mode), not only the upper accessory unit 103 but also the lower accessory unit 102 is not affected by an earthquake or is transported. In this case, the vibrations of the director are suppressed without requiring a separate member from the pachinko gaming machine 1 (specifically, the game board 6), or even if it vibrates and does not collide with other parts, This is preferable because it can be prevented. In addition, the effect character of the upper character unit 103 and the effect character of the lower character unit 102 may support each other and be converted into a character support state. For example, as shown in FIG. 30, the first rotation effect agent 106 and the first rotation effect agent 106 in front of the first side effect agent 121 and the second side effect agent 131 in the effect execution state (state connected to the left and right). The two-rotation effect accessory 107 may be brought into contact with the front and rear in a state where they are overlapped in the front-rear direction to be in the accessory support state. In the above-described embodiment, the anti-vibration mode of the effect actor is set in the accessory support state (the effect execution state). However, the effect execution state is not limited to the effect execution state as long as the effect agent is suitable for vibration resistance. It may be set in an execution state, may be set in a state between an effect execution state that does not stop in a normal game and an effect non-execution state, or moves beyond the effect execution state and the effect non-execution state It may be set in a state that does not appear in a normal game, such as a played state. In addition, even if all the productions are not in the same state (production execution state or production non-execution state), the individual vibration-proof mode (production execution mode) of each production character depends on the vibration characteristics or arrangement location of each production character. State, production non-execution state, intermediate state) may be determined.

  Next, main processing of the game control device 45 for determining the presence / absence of the above-described vibration-proof mode signal will be described. Note that the control processing in the game control device 45 is performed as a main routine (mainly see FIGS. 31 and 32) including a power-on process and a loop process, and an interrupt routine for the loop process during the main process. Although it consists of timer interrupt processing performed in a time period (for example, 4 ms), only the main processing will be described here.

  The main process is started when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on. In this main process, as shown in FIG. 31, first, an interrupt prohibition process (step S1) is performed, and then an interrupt vector setting process for setting a jump destination vector address to be executed when an interrupt occurs ( Step S2), a stack pointer setting process for setting a stack pointer that is the start address of an area for saving a value of a register or the like when an interrupt occurs (Step S3), and a process for reading the state of the input port of the game control device 45 ( Step S4), an interrupt mode setting process (step S5) for setting the mode of the interrupt process is performed.

  Next, the power-on delay timer is set (step S6) and the number of checks of the power failure monitoring signal is set (step S7), and it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S8). If the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal remains on for the number of checks set in step S7 (step S8). If the power failure monitoring signal is kept on for the number of checks, that is, if it is determined that a power failure has occurred, the standby is performed and the power failure monitoring signal is kept on for the number of checks. If not, the process returns to step S8 and the determination of the power failure monitoring signal is executed again. If the power failure monitoring signal is not on in step S8, that is, if it is determined that no power failure has occurred, the power-on delay timer is updated by -1 (step S10), and the power-on delay timer is 0. Is determined (step S11), and if not 0, the process returns to step S7. If the power-on delay timer is 0 in step S11, access to the readable / writable RAM is permitted (step S12), and all ports of the output unit are set to off (no output) (step S12). S13) Processing for setting a serial port is performed (step S14). Further, it is determined whether or not the vibration proof mode switch is on (step S15). If it is determined that the vibration proof mode switch is on, a vibration proof mode start process is executed (step S16), The combination is converted into an effect execution state (see FIG. 29).

  If it is determined in step S15 that the vibration proof mode switch is not on, it is determined whether or not the initialization switch provided in the power supply device 228 is on (step S17). If it is determined that the value is not ON, it is checked whether the value of the power failure inspection area 1 in the RAM is the normal power failure inspection area check data 1 (step S18). Then, it is checked whether the value of the power failure inspection area 2 in the RAM is the normal power failure inspection area check data 2 (step S19). If the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal, the data stored in the RAM is In order to determine whether the checksum is normal, it is checked whether the checksum is normal. Specifically, the checksum of the area in the RAM is calculated (step S20), and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum matches the checksum stored in the RAM when a power failure occurs. (Step S21). When it is determined that the checksum is normal, that is, when it is determined that the data stored in the RAM is normal, the initial value at the time of power failure recovery is saved in the area to be initialized (step S22), an area for storing the game state in the RAM is examined, and the game state is set to a high probability state (specifically, the probability that the result mode of the special figure variable display game is a big hit is set higher than that during normal game progress) Is determined (step S23), and if it is determined that the state is a high probability state, the ON information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (step S24) and provided in the collective display device 35. On-data for turning on the high-probability notification LED to be turned on is set in the segment area (step S25). If it is determined in step S23 that the high probability state is not set, or if preparation is made to turn on the high probability notification LED in step S25, it is prepared for rationally executing the special figure game process. A command at the time of power failure recovery corresponding to the process number is transmitted to the effect control device 230 (step S26).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S17 that the initialization switch is on, or if it is determined in steps S18 and S19 that the value of the power failure inspection area is abnormal, or the checksum is abnormal in step S21. If it is determined that the area is to be initialized, clear all work areas before the access-prohibited area (step S27) and clear all stack areas after the access-prohibited area (step S28). The initial value when the power is turned on is saved (step S29). Further, an execution flag is saved in the lighting confirmation execution flag area (step S30), and a command at power-on is transmitted to the effect control device 230 (step S31).

  And after transmitting the command at the time of power failure recovery to effect control device 230 in Step S26, or after transmitting the command at the time of power-on to effect control device 230 in Step S31, a timer interruption signal and a random number update trigger signal A CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates the signal is activated (step S32), and the random number generation circuit is activated and set (step S33). Furthermore, the value of the soft random number register in the random number generation circuit at the time of power-on is extracted and various initial value random numbers (initial values of random numbers that determine the big hit symbol in the special figure variation display game, or the winning symbol in the normal figure variation display game) Is stored in the RAM as an initial value of a random number to determine (step S34), interrupts prohibited in step S1 are permitted (step S35), and various initial value random numbers are updated to break the regularity of random numbers. The initial value random number update process is performed (step S36).

  If the initial value random number update process is executed in step S36, in order to determine whether or not a power failure has occurred, the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 228 is read and checked via the port and the data bus. The number of times is set (step S37), and it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is ON (step S38). When the power failure monitoring signal is not on, that is, when it is determined that a power failure has not occurred, the process returns to step S36, the initial value random number update process (step S36), and the number of times of power failure monitoring signal check are set (step S37), the power failure monitoring signal determination (step S38) is repeated. On the other hand, when the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is on for the number of checks set in step S37 (step S39). If the power failure monitoring signal has not been turned on for the number of checks, the process returns to step S38 to perform the power failure monitoring signal determination again, and the power failure monitoring signal has been turned on for the number of checks. In other words, if it is determined that a power failure has occurred, processing for temporarily prohibiting interruption (step S40) and processing for outputting off data to all output ports (step S41) are performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure inspection area check data in each power failure inspection area (steps S42 and S43) and the process of calculating the RAM checksum when the power is shut off (step S44), the checksum is saved ( Step S45), after performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM (step S46), the system waits until the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is cut off.

  In the above embodiment, the anti-vibration mode signal is generated and output by the control signal generation unit in the power supply device 228 when the anti-vibration mode switch is turned on (see FIG. 28). It is not limited. In short, the anti-vibration mode signal may be output from any component, not limited to the power supply device 228, as long as the game control device 45 can receive the anti-vibration mode signal based on the on operation of the anti-vibration mode switch. Further, the vibration proof mode signal may be output not to the game control device 45 but to the effect control device 230. In that case, the effect control device 230 may be provided with a vibration proof mode switch. Furthermore, instead of the vibration-proof mode switch, the game effect button 17 may be connected to the effect control device 230, and the vibration-proof mode may be set on condition that the game effect button 17 is on when the power is turned on (predetermined condition). In that case, the vibration proof mode switch is unnecessary, and the cost can be reduced.

  In addition, after the initialization after the power is turned on (after the predetermined condition is established), the vibration-proof mode is set for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and after the predetermined time has elapsed, the performance non-execution state (the state after the initialization) It is also possible to make it. In this case, if the power is turned on, the anti-vibration mode is set after the initialization, so the anti-vibration mode switch is not necessary and the cost can be reduced. When transporting a gaming machine, the power may be turned off during the vibration-proof mode, and if left unattended, it will return from the vibration-proof mode to the non-execution state (the state after initialization) after 30 seconds. In this case, the production is not executed until the player enters the amusement store after turning on the power in the morning, and there is no problem in sales. If the game progresses during the vibration-proof mode (for example, when a game ball wins a winning prize opening or when a variable display game starts), the vibration-proof mode is stopped and the production actor is in the state of not performing the production. (The state after initialization) may be set. And in said embodiment, although it was set as the vibration proof mode about the position of the production | presentation actor which produces an effect by a movement, if the production | presentation actor which performs production operation | movement by physical movement is made into the state which can endure a vibration, When the circular or spherical stage effect is rotated, the state rotated at a predetermined angle or the expansion / contraction execution state of the stage effect to be expanded / reduced may be set as the vibration-proof mode.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although it comprised so that a production | presentation actor might be converted into a vibration proof mode by operating a vibration proof mode switch at the time of power activation, this invention is not limited at the time of power activation. For example, in the game control device 45 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 installed in the game store, a predetermined time (for example, 15 hours) at which the business of the game store is terminated after the power of the pachinko game machine 1 is turned on. It may be set such that control is performed to move each production character and convert it into a character support state (anti-vibration mode) on the condition that it has passed (predetermined condition). And if it sets so that progress of predetermined time may come after the business end of an amusement shop, it can carry out without forgetting the vibration countermeasure of a production | presentation actor after the business end.

  In addition, when converting the effect role into the role support state after a predetermined time has elapsed, it is preferable to execute the anti-vibration mode setting process in the timer interrupt process performed in the game control device 45. The timer interrupt process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 33. First, a value stored in a predetermined register is transferred to the RAM and a register saving process is performed (step S51). Various sensors (first start port switch) 51, input processing (step S52) for taking inputs from the second start port switch 52, gate switch 47, etc., and solenoids (large winning port solenoid 233, general electric solenoid 92) based on output data set in various processing The output process (step S53) for driving and controlling the actuator is performed.

  Next, a payout command transmission process (step S54), a random number update process 1 (step S55), and a random number update process 2 (step S56) for outputting the command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 231 are performed. Thereafter, it is monitored whether there is a normal signal input from the game ball detection sensor such as the first start port switch 51, the second start port switch 52, the winning port switch 48 or the like, and the front frame 3 or the transparent member holding frame. A prize opening switch / error monitoring process (step S57) for monitoring an error such as whether 8 is open is performed. Also, a distribution state update process (step S58), a special figure game process (step S59) for performing a process related to the special figure variation display game, and a general figure game process (step S60) for performing a process related to the general figure variation display game are performed.

  If the processing of each variable display game is executed, the segment LED editing process (step S61) for editing the display content of each variable display game and the display content of various information related to the game on the collective display device 35, and the director are moved. The anti-vibration mode setting process (step S62) for changing to the accessory support state, the magnetic fraud monitoring process (step S63) for checking the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 90 to determine whether there is an abnormality, the detection signal from the radio wave sensor 224 The radio wave fraud monitoring process (step S64) for checking whether there is any abnormality by checking the above, and the external information editing process (step S65) for setting signals to be output to various external devices in the output buffer. Then, the interrupt request is cleared and the end of the interrupt is declared (step S66), the register data saved in step S51 is restored (step S67), the interrupt is permitted (step S68), and the timer interrupt process is terminated. .

  In the anti-vibration mode setting process (step S62) performed in the timer interrupt process, as shown in FIG. 34, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time set in advance has passed since the power to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on. (Step S71). The determination of whether the predetermined time has elapsed is made based on the number of times the timer interrupt process is executed and the time display on the clock. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the vibration proof mode setting process is immediately terminated. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has elapsed, the anti-vibration mode start process is executed to convert each effect role into the effect execution state (step S72), and the anti-vibration mode setting process is terminated.

  It is to be noted that, when the predetermined time is set during the game shop business, and each player is in a waiting state where the game is not executed when the predetermined time arrives, You may convert into vibration-proof mode.

  In addition, at the stage of preparation for shipping the pachinko gaming machine 1 or the single gaming board 6 from the factory, the game ball is given to the prize winning device at the end of the operation for inspecting the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which the gaming board 6 is stored. On the condition that the prizes are won in the above order, it may be set so that the stage effect is converted into the accessory support state (vibration-proof mode). For example, in the anti-vibration mode setting process executed in the flowchart shown in FIG. 35, the anti-vibration mode start process is executed on condition that the game ball has won in the order of the general winning opening 31 and the normal start gate 24. Is set. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (in other words, a time required for product inspection work (for example, 5 minutes)) has elapsed since the power-on (step S81). If the time has not elapsed, it is determined whether or not the winning opening switch 48 has detected a gaming ball (step S82). If the winning opening switch 48 has detected a gaming ball, the gate switch 47 has detected a gaming ball. It is determined whether or not it has been detected (step S83). Furthermore, if the gate switch 47 has detected a game ball, the interval from the detection of the game ball at the winning opening switch 48 to the detection of the game ball at the gate switch 47 is within a preset time (for example, 5 seconds). It is determined whether or not there is (step S84), and if it is within the set time, a vibration proof mode start process is executed (step S85), and the vibration proof mode setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination contents are not satisfied in step S81 to step S84, the anti-vibration mode setting process is immediately terminated.

  By executing such an anti-vibration mode setting process during the timer interrupt process, if the game control device 45 performs a control to convert the effect role into the accessory support state on condition that a game ball is won in a predetermined order, Preparations for shipping the gaming machine 1 or a single gaming board 6 from the factory can be made using gaming balls. Further, the vibration proof mode is not started accidentally while the player is playing the game. Note that the combination and order of winning devices for winning game balls may be set in any way.

  In addition, when a game ball is stored in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the product inspection, and the game ball is extracted from the pachinko gaming machine 1 at the end of the inspection, the directing role is supported on the condition that the ball removing operation is executed. You may set to convert to. For example, in the vibration proof mode setting process executed in the flowchart shown in FIG. 36, the vibration proof mode is started by determining the operation of a ball removal switch (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the elapsed time after the operation. It is configured to perform processing. More specifically, it is first determined whether or not it has been detected that the ball removal switch has been operated (step S91). If the operation of the ball removal switch is detected, a predetermined time set in advance from this operation is determined. It is determined whether or not (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed (step S92), and if the predetermined time has elapsed, a ball shortage error state (a state where a shortage of stored balls in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is detected) It is determined whether or not a preset error detection time (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed since the occurrence of) (step S93). If the error detection time has elapsed in the ball shortage error state, the vibration proof mode start process is executed (step S94), and the vibration proof mode setting process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination contents are not satisfied in steps S91 to S93, the anti-vibration mode setting process is immediately terminated.

  By executing such an anti-vibration mode setting process during the timer interruption process, if the game control device 45 performs a control to convert the production actor into the accessory support state on condition of an operation during the product inspection work, Preparations for shipping the gaming machine 1 or the single gaming board 6 from the factory can be made at the stage of inspection work. Note that step S92 and step S93 may be omitted. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 that is not provided with the ball removal switch, instead of determining whether or not the ball removal switch has been operated, the number of game balls extracted from the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined in the ball removal flow path. It is also possible to set so that the effect actor is converted into the accessory support state on the condition that the number of the ball detection sensors reaches the predetermined number. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the game control device 45 executes the setting of the vibration proof mode, but the effect control device 230 may execute the setting of the vibration proof mode.

  By the way, in the central production | presentation mechanism 114 in the said embodiment, although the drive transmission mechanism 143 was convertible in the interlocking state, the sliding state, and the engagement releasing state by rotation of the rotation mechanism part 151, this invention is this. It is not limited. For example, a modified example of the central effect mechanism 114 shown in FIG. 37 is basically the same as the above embodiment, but differs in that the drive transmission mechanism 143 ′ is not converted into a sliding state. More specifically, in the drive transmission mechanism 143 ′ of the center effect mechanism 114 which is a modified example, as shown in FIG. 37, a part of the outer periphery of the rotating mechanism portion 151 having a disk shape has an arc shape. The rotation gear 237 is formed, and the extended end portion of the engagement receiving portion 152 ′, which is a portion that can be engaged with the rotation mechanism portion 151 ′ of the accessory connection portion 150 ′, meshes with the rotation gear 237. A possible connecting gear 238 is formed.

  When the rotation mechanism 151 ′ is rotated, the rotation gear 237 and the connection gear 238 mesh with each other, and the rotation mechanism 151 ′ and the accessory connection unit 150 ′ are interlocked with each other. 237 and the connection gear 238 are disengaged, and the rotation mechanism 151 ′ is configured to be changed to the disengaged state in which it is disengaged from the accessory connection 150a. In the central effect mechanism 114 having such a configuration, when the drive transmission mechanism 143 ′ is converted to the interlocked state, the central effect agent 141 is raised from the bottom dead center to the top dead center by the operation of the accessory connection unit 150 ′. To do. On the other hand, when the drive transmission mechanism 143 ′ is changed from the interlocked state to the disengaged state, the operations of the accessory connecting part 150 ′ and the central effect accessory 141 are not restricted by the rotation mechanism 151 ′, and the central effect accessory 141 Falls from its top dead center to its bottom dead center by its own weight. Therefore, it is possible to cause the central production actor 141 not to stop at the top dead center to be moved up and down using a single drive source. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the structure and control for the operation of the central director 141 from being complicated.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the start winning induction | guidance | derivation unit 28 which guide | induces a game ball to a 1st start winning opening or a 2nd starting winning opening was mentioned as an example of a winning induction | guidance | derivation unit, this invention is not limited to this. In short, any winning guidance unit may be used as long as it has a function of guiding the game ball flowing down the gaming area 5 to the winning opening. For example, the winning guidance space portion may be configured with three or more winning guiding paths instead of two winning guiding paths.

  By the way, the seal sticker 36 of the game board 6 is attached to the game board 6 with the certificate sticker 37 attached thereto. However, the certificate sticker 37 may be easily peeled off. For example, in the sticker sticking part 36 shown in FIG. 38, a weakened part 241 having a lower strength than the other part of the sticker sticking part 36 is formed on the part of the sticker sticking part 36 that overlaps with the certificate seal 37, The fragile portion 241 is broken so that a part (the cut piece 244) can be separated from the seal sticking portion 36. Specifically, the weakened portion 241 that is thinner than the other portion by providing a groove on the back side of the portion that overlaps with the certificate seal 37 in the seal attaching portion 36 is a straight line extending from the upper end portion to the lower end portion of the seal attaching portion 36. The fragile portion 241 can be broken (in other words, the seal sticking portion 36 can be folded at the fragile portion 241 as a boundary) (FIGS. 38D and 38E). reference). The portion left on the pachinko gaming machine 1 side (the game board 6 side) after the fragile portion 241 is broken is used as a sticking base 243, while the part removed from the game board 6 is used as a cut piece 244, and the cut piece 244 is attached. If it is separated from the base 243 forward, the certificate seal 37 can be peeled off from the sticking base 243 as shown in FIG. In this way, it is possible to easily peel off the seal sticker 37 by holding a part (the cut piece 244) of the separated sticking part 36. Therefore, when the unnecessary stamp seal 37 is peeled off when the pachinko gaming machine 1 (game board 6) is recycled or discarded, the efficiency of the recycling work or the disposal work can be improved. The fragile portion is not limited to being formed with a groove. In short, as long as the strength is lower than the other portions of the seal sticking portion 36, the weak portion having any configuration may be used. For example, the fragile portion may be formed by opening a perforated slit or penetrating a plurality of small holes. Furthermore, the groove is not limited to a concave shape, and may be a V shape. Further, the fragile portion is not limited to being formed from one end portion to the other end portion of the seal attaching portion 36, and the fragile portion may not be formed up to the end portion of the seal attaching portion 36. The fragile portion is not limited to being formed on the back side of the seal sticking portion 36, but may be formed on the front side of the seal sticking portion 36 (the side on which the certificate seal 37 is stuck). Further, although the weakened portion is formed on the cut piece 244 side in the portion overlapping with the certificate paper seal 37, it may be formed on the center of the portion overlapping with the certificate paper seal 37 or on the sticking base portion 243 side. Moreover, you may form two or more weak parts.

  The sticking base portion 243 of the seal sticking portion 36 includes a first engaging portion 36a and an auxiliary engaging portion 36b, and the excision piece 244 includes a second engaging portion 36c. The first engaging portion 36a, the second engaging portion 36c, and the auxiliary engaging portion 36b are engaging portions for mounting the seal sticking portion 36 on the game board 6, and each engaging portion is provided on the game board 6. A first engaged portion (not shown), a second engaged portion (not shown), and an auxiliary engaged portion (not shown) are provided. When the sticker sticking part 36 is mounted on the game board 6, after the second engaging part 36c is engaged with the second engaged part, the sticking sticking part 36 is centered on the second engaging part 36c. Rotation (in other words, the seal sticking portion 36 is rotated around the rotation center axis C2 (see FIG. 38A) virtually extending on the second engagement portion 36c in parallel with the fragile portion 241). The first engaging portion 36a is engaged with the first engaged portion, and the auxiliary engaging portion 36b is engaged with the auxiliary engaged portion. On the other hand, when removing the seal sticking part 36, after releasing the engagement between the first engaging part 36a and the first engaged part, the seal sticking part 36 is rotated around the second engaging part 36c as a central axis. It moves to release the engagement between the auxiliary engaging portion 36b and the auxiliary engaged portion and the engagement between the second engaging portion 36c and the second engaged portion. Here, since the cut piece 244 has no auxiliary engaged portion, the seal sticking portion 36 can be easily rotated around the second engaging portion 36c as a central axis. It will not break.

  Further, as a procedure different from the procedure for removing the seal sticking portion 36 described above, the first engaging portion 36a is moved to the central axis after the engagement between the second engaging portion 36c and the second engaged portion is first released. The seal sticking portion 36 is centered on a rotation center axis C1 (see FIG. 38 (a)) virtually extending on the first engagement portion 36a in parallel with the fragile portion 241. ), The rotation of the first engaging portion 36a as the central axis is impeded by the engagement between the auxiliary engaging portion 36b and the auxiliary engaged portion of the sticking base portion 243. . At this time, since the fragile portion 241 extends in parallel with the rotation center axis C1 virtually imagined on the first engaging portion 36a, a load is applied to the fragile portion 241 and is fragile as shown in FIG. The part 241 will break. In this way, in normal attachment and detachment, if the sticking part 36 is rotated about the second engaging part 36c as a central axis, the sticking part 36 can be attached and detached from the game board 6 without breaking the fragile part 241. In the case of disposal or the like, if the seal sticking part 36 is rotated about the first engaging part 36a as a central axis, the weak part 241 is broken and the certificate seal 37 can be easily peeled off from the seal sticking part 36.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 39, a plurality of irregularities 245 are formed on the sticking base portion 243 where the stamp seal 37 is stuck to avoid the sticking of the stamp seal 37 to the sticking base portion 243, while the cut piece 244 is removed. Of these, a cut surface 244 and the seal paper seal 37 may be brought into close contact with each other by forming a smooth surface at a location where the seal paper seal 37 is attached. If such a configuration is provided, the certificate seal 37 can be more easily peeled off from the seal sticking portion 36. Note that the unevenness 245 may be only a concave portion or only a convex portion. Moreover, you may mix them.

  In addition, the structure which makes it easy to peel off the certificate seal 37 is not limited to the above-described weak portion. For example, as shown in FIG. 40 (a), a peeling recess 246 in which the seal paper seal 37 cannot be pasted is formed at a location overlapping with the edge of the seal seal 37 in the seal sticking portion 36, and the peeling recess A part of 246 may be exposed to the side of the certificate seal 37. In the seal sticking part 36 having such a configuration, if the finger or a tool is inserted into the peeling recess 246 and the edge of the sticker seal 37 is pinched, the sticker seal 37 can be easily peeled off. Further, as shown in FIG. 40 (b), a plurality of irregularities 247 are formed over the entire portion of the seal sticking portion 36 where the certificate seal 37 overlaps, and the entire stamp seal 37 is transferred to the seal sticking portion 36. The sticker seal 37 can be easily peeled off without breaking the sticking part 36. Further, as shown in FIG. 40 (c), a knob piece 248 that cannot be attached to the seal attaching portion 36 is provided at the edge of the seal sticker 37 so that the sticker seal 37 can be peeled off by pinching the knob piece 248. With this configuration, the seal paper seal 37 can be easily peeled off without processing the seal sticking portion 36.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated making it easy to peel off the sticker sticker 37 from the pachinko gaming machine 1 (game board 6), the present invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as it is necessary to peel off the sticking part provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the type of sticker and the place where the sticking part is arranged are not limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 41, when it is necessary to form a sticker sticking portion 249 on the front face of the start decorative panel 76 of the second start winning device 70 and peel off the decorative sticker 250 attached to the sticker sticking portion 249. Is formed with a weakened portion 251 having a lower strength than other portions of the seal sticking portion 249 in a portion of the seal sticking portion 249 that overlaps with the decorative seal 250, and the weakened portion 251 is broken to form the seal sticking portion. A part may be separable from H.249.

  In the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 which is a representative gaming machine has been described as an example. Any game machine provided with a control means for controlling the movable state of the accessory may be used. For example, it may be a gaming machine such as an enclosed ball pachinko machine, an arrangement ball gaming machine, or a sparrow ball gaming machine. Further, in the invention relating to a configuration in which handling of game balls is not essential, the present invention may be applied to a rotary game machine. For example, the invention relating to the structure of the anti-vibration mode, the sticker seal, and the director may be applied to a rotating game machine.

  It should be understood that the above-described embodiment is illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The present invention is not limited to the above description, but is defined by the scope of the claims, and includes all modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the scope of the claims.
