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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, in the image display device 5, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative symbol, and then the variable display is restarted to make one variable display look like a plurality of variable displays in a pseudo manner. The pseudo-continuous production may be executed.

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

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

(Progress of games, progress of production, etc.)
The game medium (game ball) is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player to the ball striking operation handle.

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

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

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

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

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

1st special figure The entry (winning) of a game ball that increases the number of reserved memories into the 1st start winning opening is also called the 1st starting winning. 2nd special figure The entry (winning) of a game ball that increases the number of reserved memories into the 2nd start winning opening is also called the 2nd starting winning. These prizes are collectively referred to as the start prize.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Direction unit 300)
Next, the details of the effect unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the effect unit is viewed diagonally from the front. In the following description, the direction in which the player is located is the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the opposite direction is the rear.

It is provided.

The first light guide plate 511 is formed by a transparent acrylic resin plate in a size capable of covering almost the entire display screen of the image display device 5 located on the back surface (for example, larger than the display screen of the image display device 5). The first hole portion 511A through which the first positioning boss 551 can be inserted, the second hole portion 511B through which the second positioning boss 552 can be inserted, and the third hole through which the third positioning boss 542 can be inserted. A unit 511C is provided.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first light guide plate 511 (and the second light guide plate 611) is formed of a transparent acrylic resin plate having a predetermined plate thickness dimension {plate thickness (for example, 2.5 mm)}. .. The upper end surface 512H and the lower end surface are composed of flat surfaces extending in the left-right direction, and the left-right end surfaces are composed of flat surfaces extending in the vertical direction, and are substantially squares capable of covering the front of the display screen of the image display device 5. It is said to be in shape.

The first light guide plate 511 is made of a transparent plate having a thickness of about 2.5 mm made of an acrylic resin material, and has a thickness of a board surface plate made of a transparent synthetic resin material constituting the game board 2 (for example, about 10 mm). As will be described later, expansion and contraction may occur due to a temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1 in a state of being assembled to the pachinko gaming machine 1.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the front side of the game board 2 is closed by a glass door frame 50, and the back side is closed by a cover body (not shown), and the inside closed by the glass door frame 50 and the cover body. The space is provided with a large number of heat sources such as an image display device 5 including a liquid crystal display, a control board, LEDs, and a drive source (motor or solenoid). In particular, in the present embodiment, the lift drive motor 416 for driving the movable body 402 is arranged between the first light guide plate device 500 and the second light guide plate device 600. Therefore, since the internal temperature of the pachinko gaming machine 1 during operation is higher than that during non-operation, the temperature of the first light guide plate 511 provided between the image display device 5 and the glass window 50a is, for example, about 40 degrees. The change causes expansion and contraction of up to about 1.6 mm.

Specifically, for example, in the case of the first light guide plate 511, the warp tolerance (flatness intersection) is about 3 to 6 mm. Therefore, for example, the first light guide plate device 500 is attached to the back surface of the game board 2. In the state, the distance from the game board 2 on the front side and the distance from the image display device 5 and other members on the rear side are preferably more than 6 mm.

On the other hand, in the first light guide plate device 500 (and the second light guide plate device 600), the first light guide plate 511 is a game board in a state where a part of the peripheral edge thereof is sandwiched from the front and back by the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505. Since the structure is attached to the back side of 2, there is a risk that the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505 may be damaged or damaged due to assembly distortion due to manufacturing dimensional tolerances or assembly errors. Due to expansion and contraction due to the temperature change as described above, there is a risk of contact with the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505 and causing damage or damage.

Therefore, as described below, the first light guide plate device 500 of the present embodiment is the first so as to be able to cope with the temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1, the dimensional tolerance in manufacturing, and the assembly error. The light guide plate 511 is attached to the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505 with a predetermined gap (clearance).

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the first positioning boss 551 projecting from the upper left side of the back surface of the front holding member 503 can be inserted into the upper left portion of the first light guide plate 511 as a first insertion portion. The first hole portion 511A having a circular shape in the front view is formed. Further, in the upper right portion of the first light guide plate 511, a second hole portion 511B is formed as a second insertion portion into which the second positioning boss 552 projecting from the upper right side of the back surface of the front holding member 503 can be inserted. ing. The second hole portion 511B is composed of elongated holes extending in the left-right direction. Further, in the lower left portion of the first light guide plate 511, a third hole portion 511C is formed as a second insertion portion into which the third positioning boss 542 projecting from the lower left side of the back surface of the front holding member 503 can be inserted. ing. The third hole portion 511C is composed of elongated holes extending in the vertical direction.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the first hole portion 511A, a straight line LN2 passing through the center of the first hole portion 511A and the center of the third hole portion 511C is formed on the left end surface 512L (the left side of the first light guide plate 511). A straight line LN4 that is parallel to the straight line LN1 along the line and passes through the center of the first hole portion 511A and the center of the second hole portion 511B is relative to the straight line LN3 along the upper end surface 512H (upper side of the first light guide plate 511). It is formed at a position (corner portion) in the vicinity of the left end surface 512L and the upper end surface 512H so as to form parallel to each other.

Specifically, the separation dimension L20 between the straight line LN1 and the straight line LN2 and the separation dimension L21 between the straight line LN3 and the straight line LN4 are twice as long as the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 511 (2.5 mm × 2 = 5 mm). ) Is longer (L20, L21> L15 × 2). That is, the first hole portion 511A and the third hole portion 511C are formed at positions separated from the left end surface 512L (the left side of the first light guide plate 511) by at least twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 511. The second hole portion 511B is formed at a position separated from the upper end surface 512H (upper side of the first light guide plate 511) by at least twice the plate thickness dimension L15 of the first light guide plate 511.

As described above, the first hole portion 511A, the second hole portion 511B, and the third hole portion 511C have the left end surface 512L and the upper end surface 512H, that is, the plate thickness dimension of the first light guide plate 511 from the peripheral edge of the first light guide plate 511. Since it is formed at a position more than twice as far as L15, the strength in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the first light guide plate 511 is appropriately maintained so as not to be significantly reduced by the holes.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the diameter L1 of the first hole portion 511A is slightly longer than the diameter L2 of the first positioning boss 551 (L1> L2), but the first hole portion 511A In a state where the first positioning boss 551 is inserted into the first hole portion 511A, a gap S1 (L1-L2) in the left-right and vertical directions is substantially not formed between the first hole portion 511A and the first positioning boss 551. That is, the first positioning boss 551 is fitted into the first hole portion 511A.

As shown in FIG. 9B, the left-right dimension L3A of the second hole portion 511B is longer than the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 552 (L3A> L4), and the vertical dimension of the second hole portion 511B. L3B is slightly longer than the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 552 (L3B> L4). Therefore, in a state where the second positioning boss 552 is inserted into the second hole portion 511B, a gap S2 (L3A-L4) in the left-right direction is generated between the second hole portion 511B and the second positioning boss 552. , There is almost no vertical gap S3 (L3B-L4).

The gap S2 in the left-right direction is larger than the gap S1 (S2 (L3A-L4)> S1 (L1-L2)). Further, the gap S1 and the gap S3 have substantially the same size (S1 (L1-L2) = S3 (L3B-L4)). That is, the second hole portion 511B allows the first light guide plate 511 to move in the left-right direction with respect to the second positioning boss 552, and does not allow the movement in the up-down direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, the vertical dimension L6 of the third hole portion 511C is longer than the diameter L5A of the third positioning boss 542 (L6> L5A), and the third hole portion 511C The left-right dimension L5B is slightly longer than the diameter L5A of the third positioning boss 542 (L5B> L5A). Therefore, in a state where the third positioning boss 542 is inserted into the third hole portion 511C, a vertical gap S4 (L6-L5A) is generated between the third hole portion 511C and the third positioning boss 542. , There is almost no gap S5 (L5B-L5A) in the left-right direction.

The vertical gap S4 is larger than the gap S5 (S4 (L6-L5A)> S5 (L5B-L5A)). Further, the gap S1 and the gap S5 have substantially the same size (S1 (L1-L2) = S5 (L5B-L5A)). That is, the third hole portion 511C allows the first light guide plate 511 to move in the vertical direction with respect to the third positioning boss 542, and does not allow the movement in the horizontal direction.

Further, the diameter L2 of the first positioning boss 551 and the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 552 are substantially the same size (L2 = L4), and the diameter L6 of the third positioning boss 542 is the first positioning. It is smaller than the diameter L2 of the boss 551 and the diameter L4 of the second positioning boss 552. In the present embodiment, the diameter of the first positioning boss 551 and the diameter of the second positioning boss 552 are the same, but may be different.

As shown in FIG. 8, in a state where the first light guide plate 511 is sandwiched between the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505 from the front and back, a gap S20 is provided between the first light guide plate 511 and the front holding member 503. Is provided. The gap S20 is formed over the entire surface of the first light guide plate 511, and has a thickness of the first light guide plate 511 of L15 or less (for example, about 0.2 mm to 8 mm) at any location. (S20 <L15). As described above, since the portion of the gap S20 having the smallest front-rear width is about 0.2 mm, the width at which the first light guide plate 511 moves back and forth is extremely small.

Next, the thermal expansion of the first light guide plate 511 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the first light guide plate 511 is made of an acrylic resin material and is made of a transparent plate having a plate thickness dimension L15 of about 2.5 mm, expansion and contraction occurs according to a temperature change inside the pachinko gaming machine 1 as described above.

In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a corner portion (lower right of the first light guide plate 511) facing from the first hole portion 511A (upper left side of the first light guide plate 511) of the first light guide plate 511. The separation dimension to the side) is about 442 mm, and in this case, the manufacturing dimensional tolerance is about ± 0.6 mm, and an elongation of about 1.6 mm at the maximum occurs with respect to a temperature change of 40 degrees. Therefore, if the positions of the first hole portion 511A and the corner portion facing the first hole portion 511A in the first light guide plate 511 are fixed, an irreversible warp of about 16.3 mm occurs due to a temperature change. Sometimes.

As shown in FIG. 10A, in a state where the first light guide plate 511 is held by the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505, the first positioning boss 551 is fitted into the first hole portion 511A. A second positioning boss 552 is inserted at a substantially central position in the left-right direction of the second hole portion 511B, and a third positioning boss 542 is inserted at a substantially central position in the vertical direction of the third hole portion 511C.

As shown in FIG. 10B, when the first light guide plate 511 thermally expands, the first light guide plate 511 moves relative to the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505, but the first hole Since the portion 511A is fitted to the first positioning boss 551 formed on the front holding member 503, the portion 511A extends radially (in the direction of the arrow in the figure) with respect to the first hole portion 511A. Since the position of the corner portion of the first light guide plate 511 facing the first hole portion 511A is not fixed, the extension in the diagonally lower right direction with respect to the first hole portion 511A is allowed. ..

Here, the first hole portion 511A and the third hole portion 511C are provided in the vicinity of the left end surface 512L on which the light emitted from the emission surface (right surface) of the first light guide plate LED 600A is incident, and the first hole portion 511A and the third hole portion 511C are provided. 1 Since the gap S1 in the left-right direction with the positioning boss 551 and the gap S5 in the left-right direction with the third positioning boss 542 are small, the extension width from the first hole portion 511A and the second hole portion 511B in the left direction is small. It can be suppressed. Therefore, the left side of the first light guide plate 511 extends to the left side of the first light guide plate LED 600A, so that the distance dimension from the first light guide plate LED 600A is one position in the vertical direction (for example, the upper position) and the other. What is different from the position (for example, the lower position), that is, the positional relationship between the exit surface (left surface) of the first light guide plate LED 600A and the left end surface 512L of the first light guide plate 511 is displaced, or the left end surface It is possible to prevent the first light guide plate LED 600A from being damaged or damaged due to the 512L coming into contact with the first light guide plate LED 600A.

On the other hand, since the gap S4 between the third positioning boss 542 and the third hole portion 511C is larger than the gap S1, the downward extension of the first light guide plate 511 with respect to the first hole portion 511A is allowed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10B, even if the third hole portion 511C is largely displaced downward with respect to the third positioning boss 542, the first light guide plate 511 can be positioned at the front mounting position. Since it is possible to avoid pressing and breaking the third positioning boss 542, the displacement of the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505 adversely affects the incident light from the first light guide plate LED 600A to the left end surface 512L. It can be prevented from reaching.

Further, the first hole portion 511A and the second hole portion 511B are provided in the vicinity of the upper end surface 512H in which the light emitted from the emission surface (lower surface) of the first light guide plate LED 600B is incident, and the first hole portion 511A and the second hole portion 511B are provided. Since the vertical gap S1 with the positioning boss 551 and the vertical gap S3 with the second positioning boss 552 are small, the upward extension width from the first hole portion 511A and the second hole portion 511B is suppressed to be small. be able to. Therefore, by extending the upper portion of the first light guide plate 511 toward the upper first light guide plate LED 600B, the distance dimension from the first light guide plate LED 600B is one position (for example, the right side position) in the left-right direction and another position. (For example, the left side position) is different, that is, the positional relationship between the exit surface (lower surface) of the first light guide plate LED 600B and the upper end surface 512H of the first light guide plate 511 is deviated, or the upper end surface 512H is It is possible to prevent the first light guide plate LED 600B from being damaged or damaged due to contact with the first light guide plate LED 600B or the like.

On the other hand, since the gap S2 between the second positioning boss 552 and the second hole portion 511B is larger than the gap S1, extension to the right with respect to the first hole portion 511A is allowed. As shown in B), even if the second hole portion 511B is largely displaced to the right with respect to the second positioning boss 552, the second positioning boss 552 for positioning the first light guide plate 511 at the front mounting position is provided. Since it is possible to avoid breaking by pressing, it is possible to prevent the incident of light from the first light guide plate LED 600B to the upper end surface 512H from being adversely affected by the positional deviation with respect to the front holding member 503 and the rear holding member 505.

Although the case where the first light guide plate 511 thermally expands is described in FIG. 10, for example, the internal temperature of the pachinko gaming machine 1 decreases during manufacturing, storage, non-business of the amusement park, etc. in winter. When the first light guide plate 511 contracts, although not shown in particular, it contracts radially with reference to the first hole portion 511A, that is, the peripheral edge portion of the first light guide plate 511 faces the first hole portion 511A. Shrinks to move.

Even in such a case, the second positioning boss 552 is inserted at a substantially center position in the longitudinal direction of the second hole portion 511B, and the third positioning boss 542 is inserted at a substantially center position of the third hole portion 511C. As a result, the movement of the second hole portion 511B and the third hole portion 511C to the first hole portion 511A side with respect to the second positioning boss 552 and the third positioning boss 542 is permitted, so that the second positioning boss Damage to the 552 and the third positioning boss 542 is prevented.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a first light guide plate 511, which is a molded product at the time of manufacturing the first light guide plate 511, is placed at a position near the peripheral edge on the back surface of the first light guide plate 511 (second light guide plate 611).

A movable body 402 provided so as to be able to move (operate) in the vertical direction between the effect position (see the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 15), a lift means 403 for moving the movable body 402 upward, and a movable body. A regulation member 404 for restricting the fall of the 402 from the standby position, a regulation state in which the regulation member 404 restricts the movement (fall) of the movable body 402 from the standby position to the effect position, and a release state for releasing the restriction. It is provided with a regulatory means 405 for changing the image.

The movable body 402 has a directing unit 410 having a predetermined weight and formed of a rectangular parallelepiped having a substantially horizontally long rectangular shape in front view, guide portions 411L and 411R provided on the left and right sides of the directing unit 410, and the directing unit 410. It has a connecting rod 413 for connecting the guide portions 411L and 411R. Through holes 409 (see FIG. 14) penetrating in the vertical direction are formed in the guide portions 411L and 411R, and the through holes 409 are fixed to the front surfaces of the left and right side portions of the base member 401 in the vertical direction. By inserting the guide rods 412L and 412R facing the above direction, the movable body 402 is moved and guided in the vertical direction between the standby position and the effect position by the guide rods 412L and 412R. On the front surface of the movable body 402, a pattern in which the character C hits a gavel is displayed, and the effect LED (not shown) provided inside emits light.

On the right side surface of the guide portion 411R on the right side, a contacted portion 314R to which the regulating member 404 can abut is projected. The contacted portion 314R has a substantially triangular shape in front view, the lower surface (contacted surface) is provided substantially horizontally and is formed in a flat surface shape, and the outer surface is an inclined surface that inclines inward from the lower side to the upper side. It is said that.

The lift means 403 is provided separately from the movable body 402, and includes a moving body 415 that moves the movable body 402 from an effect position to a standby position, a lift drive motor 416 that moves the moving body 415 in the vertical direction, and the like. A pinion gear that is rotatably provided around a drive gear 417 fixed to the drive shaft of the lift drive motor 416 and a rotation shaft 418a that faces the front-rear direction and is projected from the front surface of the base member 401 and meshes with the drive gear 417. It has 418 and.

The moving body 415 is a member that is invisible to the player because it is arranged behind the game board 2, and has a contact portion 420 that can abut on the lower surface of the guide portion 411R on the right side and a corresponding contact portion 420. It is composed of a rack gear 421 extending in the vertical direction on the right side surface of the above. Guide shafts 423a and 423b are projected from the back surface of the rack gear 421, and the guide shafts 423a and 423b are inserted into a guide groove 422 facing in the vertical direction provided on the front surface of the right side portion of the base member 401. As a result, the moving body 415 is moved and guided in the vertical direction along the guide groove 422. The moving body 415 is provided at a position in front of the guide rod 412R so that the contact portion 420 does not come into contact with the guide rod 412R.

Further, the moving body 415 has an ascending position slightly above the position where the upper surface of the contact portion 420 abuts on the lower surface of the guide portion 411R when the movable body 402 is restricted from falling at the standby position, and the movable body 402. The contact portion 420 is movably provided between the standby position (initial position) located slightly below the guide portion 411R when is in the effect position. Then, when the pinion gear 418 is meshed with the rack gear 421 and the drive gear 417 is rotated in the second direction (for example, the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front) by the lift drive motor 416, the pinion gear 418 moves in the first direction (for example). , The moving body 415 rises by rotating in the front view clockwise direction), and when the drive gear 417 is rotated in the first direction (for example, the front view clockwise direction), the pinion gear 418 moves in the second direction (for example, front view counterclockwise direction). The moving body 415 descends by rotating in the clockwise direction).

The moving body 415 configured in this way does not come into contact with the movable body 402 in the effect position at the standby position which is the origin position, and when it rises, the lower surface of the guide portion 411R of the movable body 402 at the effect position. The movable body 402 can be pushed up by abutting against.

As shown in FIG. 13, the regulating means 405 includes a solenoid 430 fixed to the upper front surface of the right side portion of the base member 401. As shown in FIG. 14, the solenoid 430 includes a main body 430a, a plunger 430b which is provided so as to be retractable from the main body 430a and has a regulating member 404 attached to the tip, and a plunger in an off (non-excited) state. It has a compression spring 430c that urges the 430b in the protruding direction.

The solenoid 430 abuts the restricting member 404 on the lower surface of the contacted portion 314R of the movable body 402 at the standby position to restrict the movement from the standby position to the effect position (FIG. 13), and the regulation. By retracting to the right from the position, it is possible to move the regulation member substantially horizontally in the left-right direction from the release position (see FIG. 15), and the regulation member 404 is in contact with the release position. Does not abut on portion 314R. Further, the movable effect device 400 includes a moving body initial position detection sensor (not shown) capable of detecting the moving body 415 at the standby position (see FIG. 2).

Next, the operation mode of each part will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, in the initial drive state, the movable body 402 is restricted from falling from the standby position by the regulating member 404 at the standby position, and the moving body 415 is located at the standby position (initial position). Further, the solenoid 430 is in the off state (non-excited state), and the regulating means 405 is in the regulated state.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the movable body 402 is dropped, the effect control CPU 120 turns the solenoid 430 into an on state (excited state) and changes the regulating means 405 to a released state. As a result, the regulation member 404 moves horizontally from the regulation position and moves to the release position, so that the movable body 402 can be moved upward on the side opposite to the drop direction, that is, can be instantly dropped by its own weight without floating. ..

The movable body 402 that has fallen from the standby position falls along the guide rods 412L and 412R, and the guide portions 411L and 411R come into contact with the cushioning members provided at the lower ends of the guide rods 412L and 412R to restrict their movement. Stops at the production position (see the solid line position in Fig. 15).

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, when the effect control CPU 120 moves the movable body 402 stopped at the effect position to the standby position, the lift drive motor 416 moves the moving body 415 from the standby position to the ascending position. Let me. As a result, the contact portion 420 of the moving body 415 comes into contact with the lower surface of the guide portion 411R and pushes up the movable body 402 upward. If the contacted portions 414L and 414R come into contact with the regulating member 404 while the movable body 402 is rising, the regulating member 404 is pushed from the regulating position to the release position side against the urging force of the compression spring. After passing through the contacted portions 414L and 414R, the contacted portions return to the regulated position by the urging force of the compression spring.

In particular, when the moving body 415 moves to the ascending position, the lower surface of the contacted portion 314R is located slightly above the upper surface of the regulating member 404, so that the regulating member 404 is regulated from the release position by the urging force of the compression spring 430c. Return to position. After that, when the effect control CPU 120 turns off the lift drive motor 416, the load of the movable body 402 exceeds the load of the lift drive motor 416, so that the movable body 402 slightly drops due to its own weight and is regulated. It comes into contact with the member 404, and the fall is restricted at the standby position.

In the movable effect device 400 configured in this way, the movable body 402 can be dropped from the standby position, which is the initial position, to the effect position below the standby position by its own weight, and drops from the standby position to the effect position. After the movement, the lift means 403 allows the movable body 402 to be returned to the standby position, which is the initial position. After returning the movable body 402 to the standby position, the lift drive motor 416 moves the moving body 415 from the ascending position to the standby position to return to the initial state shown in FIG. 13 so as to prepare for the next fall. I have to.

When the movable body 402 is made of a non-transparent member, it may be simply superimposed on the back surface of the movable body 402 without providing a notch portion as in the effect display pattern ZA2a.

(Example of production operation using the production unit)
Next, an example of the effect operation using the effect unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 20A to 20B are explanatory views showing an example of an effect operation using the effect unit.

In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a determined effect in which the jackpot is fixed in the super reach effect executed by the variable display based on the super reach fluctuation pattern of the jackpot.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20A, the effect control CPU 120 displays the image Z5A of the “treasure box” that has not been destroyed by the image display device 5 at a predetermined timing in the super reach effect, and also displays “ After displaying the character effect display pattern Z10 "Open the treasure box!" And notifying the player that the character C displayed on the movable body 402 will be a big hit if the image Z5A of the "treasure box" is destroyed, FIG. 20 As shown in (B), the effect display pattern Z11 composed of the stick controller 31A and the characters "close!" Is displayed, and the operation promotion effect for prompting the operation of the stick controller 31A is started.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20C, the movable body 402 is moved at the timing when the operation of the stick controller 31A is detected within the operation valid period or the timing when the operation valid period elapses without detecting the operation of the stick controller 31A. Drop the image from the standby position to the effect position, switch the image Z5A of the "treasure box" displayed on the image display device 5 to the destroyed image Z5B, display the effect image Z6, and display the first light guide plate LEDs 600A, 600B and the first. 2 By turning on the light guide plates LEDs 700A and 700B, the effect display patterns ZA1, ZB1, ZA2 and ZB2 are displayed. Further, the effect LED built in the movable body 402 is turned on.

As a result, the character C of the movable body 402 crushes the image Z5 indicating the "treasure box" displayed on the image display device 5 with a gavel, so that the "star" effect display patterns ZA1 and ZA2 indicating the impact and the "treasure box" are displayed. The display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 of the "coins" stored in the "" are scattered around. That is, the first light guide plate 511, the second light guide plate 611, and the image display device 5 can perform an interlocking effect display linked to the falling operation of the movable body 402.

The lighting modes of the first light guide plate LEDs 600A and 600B and the second light guide plate LEDs 700A and 700B can be variously modified. For example, the first light guide plate LEDs 600A and 600B and the second light guide plate LEDs 700A and 700B have a plurality of colors (for example). , 7 colors, etc.), blinking mode, and LED lights in order from the movable body 402 toward the surroundings so that "stars" and "coins" can be seen scattered around the movable body 402. You may let it.

Further, if the first light guide plate LEDs 600A and 600B and the second light guide plate LEDs 700A and 700B are turned on and the effect image Z6 flowing from the treasure box to the surroundings is displayed on the image display device 5, "stars" and "coins" can be displayed. Can be made to appear to be scattered around the movable body 402.

Next, as shown in FIG. 20 (D), the movable body 402 is moved upward to return to the standby position, and after displaying the image Z5B destroyed by the image display device 5 and the character image Z12 "successful!" As shown in FIG. 20 (E), the big hit is notified by displaying the symbols in the same order.

(Pseudo light guide plate display)
Next, with reference to FIG. 21, a display example in the pseudo light guide plate effect will be described while comparing with a display example of the light guide plate effect. 21 (A) to (C) are explanatory views showing a display example of a light guide plate effect, and FIGS. 21 (D) to (F) are explanatory views showing a display example of a pseudo light guide plate effect.

First, a specific example of the light guide plate effect will be described. 21 (A) to 21 (C) are explanatory views showing a specific example of a light guide plate effect for displaying the character C as display information. As shown in FIG. 21 (A), the image display device 5 performs variable display of the effect symbol. At this time, the effect symbol is displayed as a small symbol (an effect symbol displayed in a size smaller than usual), but the present invention is not limited to this, and a normal size effect symbol is displayed. It may be the one that exists. Then, when it is time to perform the light guide plate effect, as shown in FIG. 21 (B), by masking the display image of the image display device 5, it is easy for the player to visually recognize the display content in the light guide plate effect. To do. After that, as shown in FIG. 21C, the first light guide plate LED 600A emits light, and the character C is displayed on the first light guide plate 511 as display information. At this time, since the first light guide plate 511 is provided on the player side of the image display device 5, the visibility of the small symbol is reduced by the display of the first light guide plate 511.

Next, a specific example of the pseudo light guide plate effect will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 21 (D), the image display device 5 performs variable display of the effect symbol. At this time, the effect symbol is displayed as a small symbol. Then, when the first pseudo light guide plate effect execution timing is reached, as shown in FIG. 21 (E), the display image of the normal display layer in the image display device 5 is masked to perform the first pseudo light guide plate effect. Make it easier for the player to see the displayed contents. After that, as shown in FIG. 21F, the character C is displayed on the image display device 5 as a pseudo light guide plate image. At this time, since the special display layer on which the small symbol is displayed has a higher display priority than the display layer for producing the pseudo light guide plate on which the pseudo light guide plate image is displayed, the small symbol has priority over the pseudo light guide plate image. It will be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to perform a pseudo light guide plate effect similar to the light guide plate effect without hindering the visual recognition of the small symbol. Further, by displaying an image having a resolution lower than that of the normal effect image in the image display device 5 as a pseudo light guide plate image, it is possible to perform a display with higher similarity to the light guide plate effect.

In this way, the visibility of the predetermined image is reduced during the execution of the predetermined effect (for example, the normal effect such as the changing effect) for displaying the predetermined image (for example, the normal effect image such as the effect symbol or the background). (For example, in a state where a predetermined image is masked), a specific image (for example, a pseudo light guide plate image) has a display priority on the front side of the predetermined image (for example, a display priority over a normal display layer for displaying a normal effect image). It was decided that a specific image effect (for example, a pseudo light guide plate effect) to be displayed superimposed on a high layer (display layer for pseudo light guide plate effect) could be executed. As a result, the interest can be improved. Further, comparing the light guide plate effect and the pseudo light guide plate effect, unlike the light guide plate effect, the pseudo light guide plate effect can display a display similar to the light guide plate effect without deteriorating the visibility of the small design. Is. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the light guide plate in the pseudo light guide plate production, it is possible to prevent an increase in the manufacturing cost of the game machine.

Further, in FIG. 21, the first pseudo light guide plate effect corresponding to the first light guide plate 511 has been described, but the second pseudo light guide plate effect corresponding to the second light guide plate 611 is the same as the first pseudo light guide plate effect. By executing the above process, it is possible to execute a pseudo light guide plate effect similar to the light guide plate effect that displays the characters "extreme heat". Further, the specific image (for example, a pseudo light guide plate image) does not necessarily have to be the same as the effect display pattern of the light guide plate effect as long as it is an image related to the effect display pattern (image) of the light guide plate effect (for example). If they are the same character, their facial expressions and postures may be different).

Further, as shown in FIG. 21F, the effect control CPU 120 performs a pseudo light guide plate effect of displaying a pseudo light guide plate image composed of the character C on the image display device 5, and then guides the image display device 5 by the first light guide plate 511. At least one of the light plate effect and the light guide plate effect by the second light guide plate 611 can be executed. By doing so, after the pseudo light guide plate image is displayed by the image display device 5, the light guide plate effect is performed by the light guide plate, so that the effect can be suitably enhanced.

Further, after executing the pseudo light guide plate effect, after the movable body 402 is dropped to the effect position, or at the same time as the drop, at least one of the light guide plate effect by the first light guide plate 511 and the pseudo light guide plate effect by the second light guide plate 611. One may be executed. Further, the display of the pseudo light guide plate image and the light guide plate effect may be alternately and repeatedly executed, or the movable body 402 may be dropped to the effect position at the time of switching. Further, when the display of the pseudo light guide plate image and the light guide plate effect are alternately repeated, the mode of the pseudo light guide plate image may be sequentially changed (for example, the facial expression of the character C may be changed).

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the light guide plate (for example, the first) capable of displaying the effect by incident light from the left end surface 512L, the upper end surface 512H, or the like. 1 light guide plate 511, second light guide plate 611) and an movable movable body 402 are provided. The light guide plate has a first light guide plate 511 and a second light guide plate 611, and the movable body 402 is a movable body 402. It is characterized in that it can operate at a specific position (for example, an effect position) between the first light guide plate 511 and the second light guide plate 611.

By doing so, the movable body 402 may move or stop between the first light guide plate 511 and the second light guide plate 611, so that the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

In the present embodiment, the first light guide plate 511 is arranged on the front side of the movable body 402, and the second light guide plate 611 is arranged on the rear side of the movable body 402. That is, since the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 are displayed on the front side of the movable body 402 and the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 are displayed on the rear side of the movable body 402, the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 and the effect display pattern ZA2 are displayed. When the ZB2 and the ZB2 are displayed together, the sense of depth in the front-rear direction when viewed from the player side (in front of the effect unit 300), that is, the three-dimensional effect can be suitably improved.

Further, the first light guide plate 511 and the second light guide plate 611 can perform an interlocking effect display linked to the operation of the movable body 402. Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 drops the movable body 402 from the standby position to the effect position, and at the timing when the movable body 402 reaches the effect position, the first light guide plate LEDs 600A, 600B and the second light guide plate LED 700A, By turning on the 700B, the character C of the movable body 402 crushes the image Z5 showing the "treasure box" displayed on the image display device 5 with a gavel, and the effect display pattern ZA1 and ZA2 of the "star" showing the impact. In addition, the display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 of the "coins" stored in the "treasure box" are scattered around.

In this way, by performing the effect display of the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 on the front side and the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 on the rear side according to the operation of the movable body 402, it is possible to display the effect with a sense of depth. Therefore, the effect of the effect can be preferably enhanced.

Further, at least one of the first light guide plate 511 and the second light guide plate 611 is an effect display different from the effect display (for example, the display of the effect display patterns ZA1, ZB1, ZA2, ZB2) performed as the interlocking effect display (for example, display of the effect display pattern ZA1, ZB1, ZA2, ZB2). It is possible to display the effect display patterns ZC1 and ZC2 (see FIGS. 11, 12, and 21 (C)).

By doing so, it is possible to increase the effect display pattern without increasing the number of light guide plates, so that the effect can be suitably enhanced.

Further, the first light guide plate 511 can produce and display the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1, and the second light guide plate 611 can produce and display the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 similar to the first effect display pattern. The effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 are larger than the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2.

By doing so, the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 displayed on the first light guide plate 511 on the front side closer to the player than the second light guide plate 611 are the same "stars" as the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1. When it is larger than the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 of the second light guide plate 611 representing the coin or "coin", a perspective can be preferably generated. In the present embodiment, the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 displayed on the first light guide plate 511 are larger than the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 of the second light guide plate 611, but the present invention illustrates this. The size is not limited as long as the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 and the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 are similar to each other, and the effect display patterns ZA1 and ZB1 may be the second light guide plate. It may be smaller than the effect display patterns ZA2 and ZB2 of 611.

Further, during execution of a predetermined effect (for example, a normal effect such as a changing effect) for displaying a predetermined image (for example, a normal effect image such as an effect symbol or a background), the visibility of the predetermined image is reduced (for example). For example, in a predetermined image with a mask applied), a specific image (for example, a pseudo light guide plate image) has a display priority on the front side of the predetermined image (for example, a display priority over a normal display layer for displaying a normal effect image). It is provided with an image display device 5 capable of performing a specific image effect (for example, a pseudo light guide plate effect) that is superimposed on a high layer (display layer for pseudo light guide plate effect), and is provided with a first light guide plate 511 and a second light guide plate. At least one of 611 can perform an effect display similar to the specific image after the image display device 5 executes the specific image effect.

By doing so, the effect of the effect can be suitably enhanced. Specifically, even if the effect display pattern is not increased by increasing the number of light guide plates, the effect display pattern can be increased by the pseudo light guide plate image by the image display device 5, so that the cost can be reduced. Can be done.

Further, the first light guide plate 511 has an effect display similar to the first specific image (for example, the image of the character C) (for example, the effect display pattern of the character C) after the image display device 5 executes the first specific image effect. ) Is possible, and the second light guide plate 611 has an effect similar to the second specific image (for example, an image of "super heat!") After the image display device 5 executes the second specific image effect. By being able to display (for example, an effect display pattern of "super heat!"), The effect display pattern can be further increased.

Further, when the display mode (for example, emission brightness, emission color, etc.) is different between the first specific image and the second specific image, it is preferable that the display mode of the effect display pattern similar to each is also different.
