The ROM 121 stores various data tables and the like used for controlling the rendering operation in addition to the rendering control program.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ordinary symbol game is started by the ordinary symbol display 20 based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10. After starting the change of the normal symbol, if the predetermined time that is the normal symbol change time elapses and the normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal symbol change display result is `` Normal symbol loss '' Become. When a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”, and the opening control in which the movable plate of the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B retreats from the game area 10 is performed. When the predetermined time has elapsed, normal opening control is performed to return to the closed position protruding into the game area 10.

  After the first starting condition is established by, for example, the game ball winning the first starting winning opening, the first starting condition is established by, for example, ending the previous special map game or the big hit game state. Then, the special figure game using the first special symbol display 4A is started. In addition, after the second starting condition is established due to the game ball winning the second starting winning opening or the like, the second starting condition is established due to, for example, the end of the last special map game or the big hit game state. Based on this, the special figure game using the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special figure game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, a fixed special symbol (special figure display result) is derived and displayed when the variable display time elapses. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, the result is "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, "miss". After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to a big hit game state as a specific game state in which a round (also called “round game”) advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit game state, the special winning prize opening device of the special variable prize ball device 7 has a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of prize balls. During the period until the event occurs, the special winning opening is kept open. As a result, a round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is placed in the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player is executed.

  The special winning opening door that has the special winning opening opened during the execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the special winning opening to form a special variable winning ball device. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, the variation display of the effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special figure game. Then, during the period from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol to the end of the variable display, the variable display state of the effect symbol may reach a predetermined reach state. The reach state is a display in which the effect symbols stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitute a part of the big hit combination, and the effect symbols that have not been stopped and displayed are still changing. A state or a display state in which all or some of the effect symbols are synchronously fluctuating while forming all or a part of the big hit combination.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as a “non-probable variable big hit combination”) of a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “non-probable variable big hit”. ", The state is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time-saving control, the fluctuation display time of the special symbol (special figure fluctuation time) in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving control, a so-called electric chew support, in which the winning frequency of the ordinary symbols is increased and the winning frequency to the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the special figure game is executed after the end of the big hitting game state, and either of the conditions is satisfied that the variable display result is “big hit”. Sometimes, it may be ended.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, a determined effect symbol that is a predetermined probability variable jackpot combination (also referred to as a “variable probability jackpot combination”) among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “probability variable jackpot”. If it does, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after that, the probability variation control (probable variation control) is performed together with the time saving control. By performing the certainty change control, the probability that the fluctuation display result is "big hit" in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than in the normal state. Probable change control is performed when the change display result becomes “big hit” and the condition of controlling the big hit game state again is satisfied after the end of the big hit game state, and the predetermined number of times (for example, 100 When the special map game is executed, the probability change control is terminated by the probability variable lottery executed every time the special map game is started after the big hit game state is ended. It may be ended at a time or the like.

  When the time-saving control is performed, the control for reducing the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the ordinary figure game (the ordinary figure variation time) is shorter than that in the normal state, and the variation display result of the ordinary symbol in each ordinary figure game is displayed as “ The control to improve the probability of "hit" than in the normal state, and the movement control time for performing the movement control of the movable plate in the ordinary variable winning prize ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "normal drawing hit", Possibility that the second starting condition is satisfied by making it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) the second starting winning opening, such as control to make the game ball longer than in the state and control to increase the number of movements than in the normal state. , The control (electric power support control, high opening control) which is advantageous to the player is performed. As a result, the second starting condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is easily established, and the special figure game can be frequently executed. The time until it becomes is shortened.

  Next, an operation (operation) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when the power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is started, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When the game control timer interrupt process is started in the game control main process, a switch process, a main side error process, an information output process, a game random number update process, a special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process, and a command control process are executed.

  In the special symbol process processing, the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A and the 2 Various processes are selected and executed in order to control the display operation on the special symbol display 4B and set the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  In the special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first determines whether there is a first start prize or a second start prize, and if there is a prize, the special figure display result determination, the big hit type determination, the variation pattern A random number value for determination or the like is extracted, and a start winning process is executed in which the random number value is extracted and stored (stored) at the highest position of an empty entry in the first special figure reservation storage unit or the second special figure reservation storage unit.

  Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to start the special figure game based on the presence / absence of the hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit and the second special figure hold storage unit, Based on the numerical data indicating the random number for determination, a special (decision is made) before the variation display result is derived and displayed, as to whether or not the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is a "big hit". The symbol normal processing is executed. That is, when starting the variation display of the special figure game, the CPU 103 determines whether to derive and display the big hit display result as the display result of the variation display based on the random number value stored when the start winning is generated. The process of determining (lottery) is executed.

  Next, a variation pattern setting process of determining the variation pattern to be one of a plurality of types, a special symbol variation process of performing a setting for varying the special symbol and a process of measuring an elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary, A special symbol stop process is performed for stopping the fluctuation of the special symbol and performing a setting for stopping and displaying (deriving) the fixed special symbol. If the result of the fluctuation display is "big hit", a big hit opening pre-process, a big hit opening process, a big hit opening process, and a big hit ending process for opening / closing the big win in the big hit game state are performed.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when power is turned on, effect control CPU 120 starts execution of the main process. When a timer interrupt occurs in the main processing, command analysis processing, effect control process processing, and effect random number update processing are executed.

  In the effect control process process, a hold display update process for updating the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U of the effect display device 5 to a display corresponding to the storage content of the hold storage buffer. Execute Then, in accordance with the value of the effect control process flag, a fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process for confirming whether or not a variation pattern designation command has been received from the game control microcomputer 100, so that the fluctuation of the effect symbol is started. The control of the effect symbol variation start process to be controlled, the control of the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) forming the variation pattern according to the process data set in the effect symbol variation start process, and the end of the variation time are monitored. Processing during the effect of changing the effect design, which performs display control of the effect display device 5, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, light emission of the effect LED 9 and drive control of the movable bodies 300L and 300R, and stops the change of the effect symbol. An effect symbol fluctuation stop process for performing control for deriving and displaying (stop symbol) is performed.

  In the big hit display process, after the end of the fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of the big hit. In the big hit game processing, control during the big hit game is performed. In the big hit end effect process, the effect display device 5 performs display control for notifying the player that the big hit game state has ended.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 120 can execute various effects related to the game, such as control of the display change of the effect symbols and a notice effect, based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. Have been.

  In addition, as the announcement effect that the effect control CPU 120 executes during the fluctuation display of the effect symbol, for example, a jackpot announcement effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit, a reach announcement that suggests whether or not to reach, a stop symbol, and a stop symbol A plurality of notices to be executed at the start of the fluctuation display and at the time of reaching the reach, such as a notice of a stop symbol to be announced, a notice of an announcement of whether or not the game state is a probability fluctuation state (whether or not to be latent), and the like. Including.

  The drive mechanism 302L includes a production motor 307L disposed on the front side of the base member 301, a first gear 308 attached to a drive shaft of the production motor 307L disposed on the back side of the base member 301, It mainly includes a second gear 309 that meshes with the first gear 308 and a third gear 310 that meshes with the second gear 309. The third gear 310 includes a gear portion 310a disposed on the back side of the base member 301, and a rotating portion 310b having a larger diameter than the gear portion 310a and disposed on the front side of the base member 301. ing. A protruding shaft 310c protruding forward is formed on the front side of the rotating portion 310b, and the protruding shaft 310c is inserted into the elongated hole 303a of the arm 303L. Therefore, by driving the effect motor 307L, the first gear 308 to the third gear 310 are driven, and the arm 303L operates. Since the protruding shaft 310c of the third gear 310 is inserted into the long hole 303a of the arm 303L, the third gear 310 (rotating portion 310b) and the arm 303L are arranged close to each other.

  The drive mechanism 302R mainly includes an effect motor 307R disposed on the back side of the base member 301 and a rotating member 311 disposed on the front side of the base member 301 and attached to a drive shaft of the effect motor 307R. Is configured. A protruding shaft 311a protruding forward is formed on the front side of the rotating member 311. The protruding shaft 311a is inserted into the elongated hole 303b of the arm 303R. Therefore, by driving the effect motor 307R, the rotating member 311 is driven and the arm 303R operates. Since the protruding shaft 311a of the rotating member 311 is inserted into the long hole 303b of the arm 303R, the rotating member 311 and the arm 303R are arranged close to each other.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, the movable bodies 300 </ b> L and 300 </ b> R include a standby position (see FIG. It is possible to move between the effect position (see FIG. 4B) overlapping the side. The base member 301 is provided with a standby position sensor (not shown) connected to the effect control board 12, and can detect that the movable bodies 300L and 300R are at standby positions (origin positions). It has become.

  Specifically, in the standby position, the protruding shaft 310c and the protruding shaft 311a are disposed near the top in the rotation range (the protruding shaft 310c is on the left side of the top, and the protruding shaft 311a is on the right side of the top). The arms 303L and 303R are lifted upward so that the decorative members 304L and 304R are separated from each other. At this time, the predetermined portions of the decorative members 304L and 304R are in contact with the contact portions 301a and 301b of the base member 301, and the connecting portions between the arms 303L and 303R and the decorative members 304L and 304R are the contact portions 301a and 301b. Since the torsion springs 306L and 306R are compressed and folded with respect to the arms 303L and 303R (see the enlarged portion in FIG. 4A).

  In the production position, the third gear 310 rotates counterclockwise from the standby position, the protruding shaft 310c is disposed on the right side in the rotation range, and the rotation member 311 rotates clockwise from the standby position. The moving protruding shaft 311a is arranged on the left side in the rotation range, whereby the arms 303L and 303R are arranged so that the decorative members 304L and 304R come close to each other. Further, at the effect position, the decorative members 304L, 304R are in a state of being developed with respect to the arms 303L, 303R, and are united so as to be connected in the left-right direction to form one effect portion. When moving from the standby position to the production position, the torsion springs 306L and 306R are elastically restored by separating the decorative members 304L and 304R from the contact portions 301a and 301b, and the arms 303L and 303R and the decorative members 304L and 304R. Are developed (see the enlarged portion in FIG. 4B).

  Next, the configuration of the arm 303L will be described. Since the configuration of the arm 303R is substantially the same as the configuration of the arm 303L, the configuration of the arm 303L will be described, and the description of the configuration of the arm 303R will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the arm 303L includes a first component 321 arranged on the front side (player side) and a second component 322 attached to the back side of the first component 321. The first component member 321 has a concave portion 321a formed on the back side along the left side wall portion at the rendering position, and the second component member 322 is attached with a screw N1 so as to close the concave portion 321a. .

  Specifically, the first component member 321 is formed of a non-translucent member having a substantially concave shape in cross section, and has a hole 321b penetrating in the vicinity of the rotating end (one end). And the hole 321b communicates with the recess 321a. A cut-out portion 321c cut out in the front-rear direction is provided in a part of the left side wall portion of the first component member 321 at the production position, and a right-hand side of the cut-out portion 321c has A hole 321d is formed. That is, a bar-shaped winding portion 321e to which the binding band 330 can be wound is formed on a part of the left side wall portion of the first component member 321.

  The concave portion 321a is open at the other end of the first component member 321 and is formed in a duct shape when the second component member 322 is attached to the first component member 321. That is, the duct extended in the longitudinal direction of the arm 303L by the concave portion 321a and the second component member 322 communicates with the outside via the hole 321b at one end of the first component 321 and is opened at the other end. Communicates with the outside through the broken part.

  In this embodiment, the form in which the elongated hole 303a of the arm 303L is formed in the first component member 321 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second component member 322 May have a long hole 303a formed therein.

  The second component member 322 is made of a translucent member. When the second component member 322 is attached to the first component member 321, the second component member 322 has a rotation preventing portion 322a formed of a protruding piece that projects forward from a portion that closes the concave portion 321a. The rotation preventing portion 322a is provided on the side of the cutout portion 321c and separated by a predetermined distance. The rotation preventing portion 322a prevents rotation of the binding band 330 as described later.

  In addition, between the base member 301 and the decoration member 304L, the back of the game board 2, that is, the effect control board 12 provided on the base member 301 side and the LED board 305L provided on the decoration member 304L are connected. A plurality of wirings LN are arranged. The wiring LN can be deformed in accordance with the operation of the decorative member 304L, that is, has flexibility.

  As described above, each wiring LN is a wiring that connects the effect control board 12 on the base member 301 side and the LED board 305L of the decoration member 304L rotatably provided with respect to the base member 301. By simply connecting the other end of the LN to the connector 305b of the LED board 305L, the wiring LN is exposed to the player according to the operation of the movable body 300L, or between the arm 303L and the third gear 310. In this embodiment, the wiring LN is wired along the arm 303L, and a predetermined part of the wiring LN is held at a predetermined part of the arm 303L because there is a possibility that a trouble such as pinching and disconnection may occur.

  Next, the procedure for assembling the arm 303L will be described. Since the procedure for assembling the arm 303R is substantially the same as the procedure for assembling the arm 303L, the procedure for assembling the arm 303L will be described, and the description for the procedure for assembling the arm 303R will be omitted.

  When assembling the arm 303L, first, as shown in FIG. 6A, one end of the wiring LN is inserted from the front side of the first component member 321 through the hole 321b, and the wiring LN is inserted into the recess 321a. The other end of the wiring LN is connected to the connector 305b of the LED board 305L provided on the back surface of the decorative member 304L. On the back surface of the decorative member 304L, a duct portion 304a for the wiring LN is formed. Since the wiring LN is connected to the connector 305b after passing through the duct portion 304a, the wiring LN is formed on the back side of the decorative member 304L. For example, fluttering in the front-back direction can be suppressed.

  The plurality of wirings LN arranged along the concave portion 321a are held by the binding band 330 at the winding portion 321e of the first component member 321. Specifically, the binding band 330 has a flexible linear portion 331 formed of a synthetic resin, and is attached to one end (specific portion) of the linear portion 331 and the other end of the linear portion 331 is inserted. And a locking portion 332 having a possible hole 332a. The front end (the other end) of the linear portion 331 is inserted through the through-hole portion 321d from the rear side, and the locking portion 332 side is formed as a notch 321c. It is arranged on the front side through the side (see the enlarged portion of FIG. 5A). That is, the linear portion 331 is annularly wound so as to surround the winding portion 321e of the first component member 321 and the wiring LN together. Then, the other end of the linear portion 331 is inserted into the hole 332a of the locking portion 332, and is inserted into an arbitrary locked portion 331a (a portion different from the specific portion) provided on the other end side of the linear portion 331. By locking the locking claw 332b formed in the hole 332a, predetermined portions of the plurality of wirings LN are held by the winding portion 321e of the first component member 321 (see FIGS. 9 and 10). ).

  Further, since the winding portion 321e is arranged close to the left side wall portion side of the first component member 321, and the cutout portion 321c is formed on the left side of the winding portion 321e, it is linear. By inserting the portion 331 into the hole 321b, the portion 331 can be wound around the winding portion 321e. Therefore, for example, the operation of inserting the linear portion 331 into the hole can be reduced as compared with the case where holes are provided on both sides of the winding portion 321e, and the winding operation of the linear portion 331 around the winding portion 321e. Can be easily performed.

  The plurality of wirings LN arranged along the concave portion 321a may be disconnected due to being tightly bundled, or may rotate the arm 303L with respect to the base member 301 or rotate the decorative member 304L with respect to the arm 303L. When the wiring LN is pulled in response, the wiring LN is firmly held by the winding portion 321e, so that the wiring LN cannot move in the longitudinal direction (wiring direction) and is disconnected. It is held in a state of being loosely bundled around the winding portion 321e by the binding band 330 (for example, a state in which the wiring LN can move in the longitudinal direction (wiring direction)).

  As described above, since the structure is such that the plurality of wirings LN are bundled by the binding band 330 and held by the first component member 321 (the winding part 321e), the wiring LN is held by the first component member 321 by the binding band 330. In this state, the locking portion 332 protrudes forward from the first component member 321. Note that the binding band 330 is made of the same color as the arm 303L, so that the binding band 330 is less noticeable from the player.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the surplus portion of the binding band 330 is cut, and the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 is closed on the front surface of the first component member 321 so as to close the recess 321 a. Then, the second component member 322 is attached with the screw N1. As shown in FIG. 6C, when the second component 322 is attached to the first component 321, the wiring LN does not protrude from the recess 321a. Further, since the concave portion 321a is closed by the second component member 322 after holding the wire LN on the first component member 321, the rotation preventing portion 322a can be provided on the side of the notch portion 321c, so that the wire LN is retained. Work becomes easier.

  In a state where the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 is disposed on a portion other than the front surface of the first component 321, the second component 322 cannot be connected to the first component 321. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6D, when the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 is disposed on the back surface of the first component 321, the locking portion 332 is The second component 322 cannot be connected to the first component 321 by interfering with the first component 321. This is because the arm 303 </ b> L and the third gear 310 are close to each other, so that the duct formed by the concave portion 321 a and the second component 322 cannot have a large front-rear width. In other words, by arranging the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 on the front surface of the first component member 321, the front-rear width of the duct is configured to be compact.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the movable body 300L is at the standby position (the state where the arm 303L and the decorative member 304L are folded), and when the movable body 300L is at the production position (when the arm 303L and the decorative member 304L are connected to each other). (Deployed state) and the form changes. Further, above the pivot point of the arm 303L, the wiring LN is fixed to the fixing portion 301c of the base member 301 by a wiring presser, a binding band, or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the movable body 300L is at the standby position, the wiring LN is inserted into the recess 321a from the front through the hole 321b, and extends to the left along the recess 321a when viewed from the front. , Is folded rightward along an annular shaft portion 303c provided at the other end of the arm 303L, extends along the left side wall portion 304b of the duct portion 304a of the decorative member 304L, and is connected to the connector 305b.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the movable body 300L is at the production position, the wiring LN is inserted into the concave portion 321a from the front side through the hole 321b, and the wiring LN is obliquely downward and rightward when viewed from the front along the concave portion 321a. Side, extends along the left side wall 304b of the duct 304a of the decorative member 304L, and is connected to the connector 305b.

  The length of the wiring LN between the fixing portion 301c of the base member 301 and the connector 305b is a predetermined length. Further, when the movable body 300L is at the standby position, the wiring LN meanders more than when the movable body 300L is at the production position. Therefore, when the movable body 300L is at the standby position, Also, the distance from the fixing portion 301c on the base member 301 side to the connector 305b increases. Therefore, the length of the wiring LN from the fixing portion 301c of the base member 301 to the connector 305b is ensured by the necessary length when the movable body 300L is at the standby position. That is, as the movable body 300L approaches the effect position, the length of the wiring LN becomes longer. However, since the wiring LN is held by the arm 303L (the winding portion 321e) by the binding band 330, the operation of the movable body 300L is performed. Thus, bending or twisting in an unintended direction is prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the plurality of wirings LN arranged along the recess 321a are held in a state of being loosely bound by the binding band 330 as described above. For example, there is a possibility that the turning portion 321e rotates around the winding portion 321e in the circumferential direction, and the locking portion 332 turns around the winding portion 321e and the bundled wiring LN. Note that the arrangement of the wiring LN in the movable body 300R is substantially the same as that of the movable body 300L, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, a form in which the binding band 330 is rotated will be described with reference to FIGS. 10A is an explanatory view showing the movable range of the locking portion at the standby position in the movable body without the rotation preventing portion, and FIG. 10B is an illustration showing the engagement at the rendering position in the movable body without the rotation preventing portion. It is explanatory drawing which shows the movable range of a stop part. 11A is an explanatory view showing a pattern 1 in which a locking portion and a third gear are in contact with each other in a movable body having no rotation preventing portion, and FIG. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a pattern 2 in which a part and a third gear contact with each other. 12A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 8, and FIGS. 12B and 12C are explanatory diagrams illustrating a state where the locking portion is rotated in the present embodiment. Here, only the movable body 300L (the movable body 300L ') will be described, and the description of the movable body 300R will be omitted.

  As described above, since the third gear 310 (rotating part 310b) and the arm 303L are arranged close to each other, as shown in FIG. 10A, the movable body 300L without the rotation preventing part 322a is provided. When the ′ (conventional movable body) is at the standby position, the locking portion 332 is attached to the base member 301 when the binding band 330 rotates in the circumferential direction around the winding portion 321 e extending in the longitudinal direction of the arm 303 </ b> L. It comes into contact.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the movable body 300L ′ (conventional movable body) without the rotation preventing section 322a is in the rendering position, the locking section 332 is engaged with the third gear 310 (the rotating section 310b). ). That is, the base member 301 and the third gear 310 overlap with each other within the rotation range of the locking portion 332 around the winding portion 321e.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the movable body 300L ′ starts operating from the standby position toward the production position, the binding band 330 rotates (for example, due to movement or vibration of the wiring). When the locking portion 332 is disposed on the back side of the arm 303L (the first component member 321), the locking portion 332 contacts the side surface of the third gear 310, and the binding band 330 is moved to the arm 303L. There is a possibility that the operation of the arm 303L and the third gear 310 may be hindered by being twisted or pressed into contact with the third gear 310.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the binding band 330 rotates (for example, by the movement of the movable body 300L ′) while the movable body 300L ′ moves from the standby position toward the production position. When the locking portion 332 is disposed on the back side of the arm 303L, the locking portion 332 enters the concave portion 310d of the third gear 310 and comes into contact with the wall constituting the concave portion 310d, and the binding band As the 330 is twisted or pressed between the arm 303L and the third gear 310, the operation of the arm 303L and the third gear 310 is hindered, whereby the movable body 300L is not moved to the production position and is produced. There is a possibility that the effect may be reduced.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), the movable body 300L of the present embodiment has the first component 321 attached to the second component 322 so that the rotation preventing portion 322a is located on the side of the notch 321c. Since it is provided, the rotation of the binding band 330 is prevented, and the locking portion 332 is prevented from contacting the third gear 310.

  Specifically, the front-rear dimension L1 of the locking portion 332 in the binding band 330 is the separation dimension L2 between the winding portion 321e and the rotation preventing portion 322a, and the width dimension L3 of the through-hole portion 321d (FIG. 12A). (L1> L2, L3). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the binding band 330 is rotated so that the locking portion 332 moves to the through-hole portion 321d side, the locking portion 332 is formed on the periphery of the through-hole portion 321d. The rotation to the rear side is prevented by the contact. Also, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the binding band 330 is rotated so that the locking portion 332 moves to the rotation preventing portion 322a, the locking portion 332 is moved to the rotation preventing portion 322a. Rotation to the back side is prevented by contacting the front end. As described above, the presence of the rotation preventing portion 322a prevents the binding band 330 from rotating and the locking portion 332 from contacting the third gear 310, so that the operation of the arm 303L and the third gear 310 is performed. Can be avoided.

  Next, modified examples 1 to 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a first modification of the present invention. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing Modification 2 of the present invention. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a third modification of the present invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the form in which the rotation preventing portion 322a is provided on the second component member 322 has been exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rotation of the locking portion 332 can be locked. Any member may be used as long as it is provided, for example, it may be provided on the first constituent member, or may be formed of a member different from the first constituent member and the second constituent member.

  Specifically, as an example of a form in which the rotation preventing means is provided on the first component, as shown in FIG. 13A, a side wall 342 is provided at a front side corner of a side of the first component 341. The notch 341c may be formed so that a part of the side wall remains, and a part of the remaining side wall part 342 may be used as a rotation preventing unit. According to this, as shown in FIG. 13B, even when the binding band 330 is rotated while the wiring LN is held with respect to the winding portion 321e by the binding band 330, the remaining side wall portion 342 The rotation of the locking portion 332 toward the rear side is partially prevented.

  Further, as an example of a mode in which the rotation preventing means is formed of a member different from the first component member and the second component member, as shown in FIG. The cap member 350 may be used as rotation prevention means. Specifically, the cap member 350 includes a fitting portion 351 fitted to the locking portion 332, and a flange portion 352 projecting outward from an opening edge of the fitting portion 351. A cutout portion 353 is formed in the flange portion 352 at a position corresponding to the linear portion 331 of the binding band 330, so that the cap member 350 can be attached to the locking portion 332 without interfering with the linear portion 331. Can be installed. Further, a claw portion 351 a that is locked by the concave portion 332 c provided in the locking portion 332 is formed in the fitting portion 351, so that the cap member 350 does not easily come off from the locking portion 332. By attaching the cap member 350 to the locking portion 332, even when the binding band 330 rotates, the flange portion 352 interferes with the first component member 321 and the rotation of the locking portion 332 to the rear side is prevented.

  Note that, in the second modification, the cap member 350 that can be disengaged from the locking portion 332 is used as the rotation preventing unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this. , The first component members 321 and 341) may be attached to a position where rotation of the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 can be prevented.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form of the binding band 330 that includes the linear portion 331 and the locking portion 332 and is connected in a ring by inserting the other end of the linear portion 331 into the locking portion 332 is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made as long as the first component member 321 and the wiring LN can be held in a ring shape.

  As an example, for example, as shown in FIG. 15A, the binding band 430 of the present modification includes a flexible linear portion 431 formed of a synthetic resin and one end of the linear portion 431 (specific portion). ) Is provided on the other end (a portion different from the specific portion) of the linear portion 431, and a through hole 433 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the linear portion 431. A plurality (three in this modification) is formed. As shown in FIG. 15 (B), the linear portion 431 is annularly wound so as to surround the winding portion 321 e of the first component member 321 and the wiring LN together, and the locking portion 432 is fitted to an arbitrary through hole 433. The wire LN is held by the winding portion 321e of the first component member 321 by inserting and locking.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first member (for example, the arms 303L and 303R) and the second member (for example, the third gear) different from the first member are provided. 310 / base member 301), wiring LN connected to electronic components (for example, LED substrates 305L and 305R), and flexible linear portion 331 together with winding portion 321e of arms 303L and 303R as wiring LN. The wire LN is wound around the wire LN, and a portion different from the specific portion (for example, a locked portion 331a) is locked to a locking portion 332 provided at a specific portion (for example, one end) of the linear portion 331, thereby connecting the wiring LN to the arm 303L. , 303R that can be held by the arms 303L, 303R and the second member. The locking portion 332 protrudes from the arms 303L and 303R while the wiring LN is held on the arms 303L and 303R by the binding band 330, and the wiring LN is held on the arms 303L and 303R by the binding band 330. In this state, it is assumed that the locking portion 332 rotates to a position where the locking portion 332 can contact the second member (for example, a position where the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 faces the rear side as shown in FIGS. A rotation preventing means (for example, a rotation preventing part 322a / a part of the side wall part 342 / cap member 350) is provided.

  With this configuration, the rotation preventing portion 322a can prevent the locking portion 332 from rotating to a position where the locking portion 332 can contact the third gear 310 or the base member 301. It is possible to prevent the operation of the arms 303 </ b> L and 303 </ b> R and the third gear 310 from being disturbed by contact with the base 310 or the base member 301.

  Specifically, in order to make the movable body unit compact, the members such as the base member 301, the movable bodies 300L and 300R, and the driving mechanisms 302L and 302R are arranged close to each other. In order to prevent this, if the winding portion 321e of the first component member 321 and the wiring LN are loosely bound using the binding band 330, the wiring LN moves according to the operation of the movable bodies 300L and 300R, or the movable bodies 300L and 300R May vibrate, the binding band 330 may rotate in the circumferential direction, and the locking portion 332 may rotate so as to orbit around the winding portion 321e and the bundled wiring LN.

  Then, there is a possibility that the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 may come into contact with the third gear 310 or the base member 301 due to the rotation (rotation) of the locking portion 332 in this manner. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, since the rotation preventing portion 322a is disposed in the rotation direction of the locking portion 332 (the circumferential direction of the winding portion 321e), the locking portion 332 is larger than the rotation preventing portion 322a. Rotation toward the third gear 310 or the base member 301 is prevented, and the binding band 330 is twisted or pressed into contact between the arms 303L and 303R and the third gear 310 or the base member 301, thereby forming the arm 303L. , 303R and the operation of the third gear 310 can be avoided.

  Further, in a state where the plurality of wirings LN are held by the first component member 321 by the binding band 330, the linear portion 331 is inserted into the through hole 321d and is housed in the cutout portion 321c. The binding band 330 is prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction of the winding portion 321e. That is, it is possible to prevent the wiring LN from being bent or twisted due to a change in the holding position by the binding band 330 in the longitudinal direction of the wiring LN. Further, since the linear portion 331 is accommodated in the cutout portion 321c, the linear portion 331 can be prevented from protruding to the side of the first component member 321.

  In addition, the binding band 330 is configured in the same color as the arms 303L and 303R. By doing so, the binding band 330 can be made inconspicuous. Note that, in the present embodiment, the form in which the binding band 330 is configured with the same color as the arms 303L and 303R is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be freely changed if it is not noticeable by the player. May be. For example, the holding member may be constituted by a color similar to the arms 303L and 303R, or may be constituted by a translucent member.

  Further, the rotation preventing portion 322a (or the cap member 350) is formed of a transparent member. By doing so, the rotation preventing portion 322a can be made inconspicuous. Note that, in the present embodiment, the form in which the rotation preventing portion 322a is formed of a transparent member has been exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be changed. For example, the rotation preventing section means may be configured with the same or similar color as the arms 303L and 303R.

  Further, the third gear 310 is operable, and it is possible to prevent the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 from obstructing the operation of the third gear 310. Further, the arms 303L and 303R are operable, and it is possible to prevent the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 from obstructing the operation of the arms 303L and 303R.

  Specifically, the arms 303L and 303R are operable by the rotation of the third gear 310. That is, the arms 303L, 303R and the third gear 310 are operable, and the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 is moved toward the third gear 310 or the base member 301 by the rotation preventing portion 322a. Rotation is prevented, and the binding bands 330 are twisted or pressed into contact with the arms 303L, 303R and the third gear 310 or the base member 301, so that the operations of the arms 303L, 303R and the third gear 310 are controlled. Inhibition can be avoided.

  The rotation preventing portion 322a is provided on a second component member 322 that can be attached to the first component member 321 of the arms 303L and 303R, and the second component member 322 is configured such that the locking portion 332 contacts the third gear 310. It cannot be attached to the first component 321 in a state where it is possible. By doing so, the second component member 322 cannot be attached to the first component member 321 in a state where the locking portion 332 of the binding band 330 is in a position where it can come into contact with the third gear 310, so that the locking portion 332 can be provided at an appropriate position. That is, the operation of attaching the second component member 322 to the first component member 321 and assembling the first component member 321 is performed in a state where the locking portion 332 is not at an appropriate position (a state where the engagement portion 332 is at a position where the third gear 310 can be contacted). ) Can be prevented from proceeding.

  Each of the arms 303L and 303R has a concave portion 321a that can accommodate the wiring LN and a second component member 322 that can close the concave portion 321a, and the rotation preventing portion 322a is provided on the second component member 322. ing. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the wiring LN from contacting the third gear 310. Further, by holding the wiring LN on the arms 303L and 303R by the binding band 330 and then closing the concave portion 321a with the second component member 322, the rotation preventing portion 322a can be provided. That is, since the operation of inserting the binding band 330 through the through-hole portion 321d and winding it around the winding portion 321e can be performed without the second component member 322, the operation of holding the wiring LN by the binding band 330 is easy. Become.

  Further, when the recess 321a of the first component member 321 is closed by the second component member 322, the rotation preventing portion 322a is disposed at a predetermined interval so as to cover the side of the notch portion 321c. The linear portion 331 accommodated in the cutout portion 321c is hardly seen by a player, and the appearance can be improved. In addition, the rotation preventing portion 322a can prevent the linear portion 331 of the binding band 330, which bundles the wiring LN loosely and is held by the winding portion 321e, from bulging outward.

  In the above-described embodiment, the form in which both the arms 303L and 303R as the first member and the third gear 310 as the second member are operable has been exemplified, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. Instead, for example, one of the first member and the second member is operable, and the positional relationship between the locking portion of the holding member attached to the first member and the second member relatively changes. If so, the other of the first member and the second member may be provided inoperable. Further, the first member and the second member are not limited to those that can be visually recognized by the player, and may be arranged at a position that is invisible or difficult for the player.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which the arms 303L and 303R, which are movable bodies, are used as the first member, and the third gear 310 that constitutes the driving mechanism of the first member is used as the second member has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the other of the first member and the second member may not be a driving member for driving one movable body as described above. That is, the first member and the second member may be unrelated members. For example, the first member may be a movable body and the second member may be a structure provided in proximity to the movable range of the movable body, or the first member may be movable within the first movable range. The second member may be a second movable body movable within the second movement range, and the second movement range may be close to the first movement range. Further, the arms 303L, 303R and the third gear 310 as the first members are members that are driven and controlled by the effect control unit, but may be members that are driven and controlled by the game control unit.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which the arms 303L and 303R are arranged on the front side of the third gear 310 and the base member 301 is exemplified.
