Next, the behavior of the light emitting connection wiring 165 accompanying the rotation operation of the lower rotating accessory 142 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 to 23. The lower rotating accessory 142 is rotated as the game progresses, based on the control of the game control device 58 and the effect control device 59.
In the lower accessory unit 133, as shown in FIGS. 21 (a) and 23 (a), when the lower rotating accessory 142 is set to the effect non-execution state, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 is set. The posture is inclined downward from the engagement bearing 176 side toward the side of the lower accessory unit 133 (right side in FIG. 21A), and the wiring main body portion of the accessory side wiring engagement portion 168 is on the lower side. It is located below the accessory bearing portion 155 of the rotating accessory 142. Further, the light emitting connection wiring 165 is sufficiently loosened between the accessory side wiring connector 152b and the accessory side wiring engagement portion 168, and between the accessory side wiring engagement portion 168 and the cover side wiring engagement portion 193. It is set to the state.

When the lower rotating motor 143 is driven to rotate the lower rotating accessory 142 upward from such an effect non-execution state, as shown in FIG. 21B, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 And the accessory side wiring connector 152b rotate together with the lower rotating accessory 142 and rise, and the rise causes the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 to gradually separate upward from the cover side wiring engaging portion 193. Of the light emitting connection wiring 165, the slack portion located between the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 and the cover side wiring engaging portion 193 gradually extends. Further, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 rotates downward with respect to the rotating accessory base 151 in response to the reaction force from the extended light emitting connection wiring 165 (in other words, the accessory side wiring engaging portion (in other words, the accessory side wiring engaging portion (in other words). Wiring engaging part) Performs a relative motion that shifts the phase around the shaft attachment point of 168). Further, due to the downward rotation of the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 with respect to the rotating accessory base 151, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 gradually separates downward from the accessory side wiring connector 152b, and the light emitting connection wiring 165 Among them, the slack portion located between the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 and the accessory side wiring connector 152b gradually extends. As a result, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 is rotated upward by co-rotation with the lower rotating accessory 142 and is rotated downward about the engaging shaft portion 167. Ascend while almost maintaining the downward tilting posture in the non-execution state.

It should be noted that the wiring engaging portion 168 on the accessory side reaches the upper dead position in a state where the downward tilting posture in the non-execution state of the effect is almost maintained. Further, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 and the cover side wiring engaging portion 193 are most separated from each other, and the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 and the accessory side wiring connector 152b are most separated from each other, so that the light emitting connection wiring 165 Although it leaves slack, it stretches more than when the production is not executed.

Then, when the lower rotation motor 143 is driven to return the lower rotation accessory 142 from the effect execution state to the effect non-execution state, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 becomes the lower rotation accessory 142. The operation opposite to the operation at the time of ascending, that is, the downward rotation due to the co-rotation with the lower rotating accessory 142 and the upward rotation around the engaging shaft portion 167 are performed in combination to produce an effect. It descends while almost maintaining the downward tilting posture in the execution state. Further, the separation distance between the accessory side wiring engagement portion 168 and the cover side wiring engagement portion 193 and the separation distance between the accessory side wiring engagement portion 168 and the accessory side wiring connector 152b are in a non-executive state. At the same time as returning to the setting of, the slack of the light emitting connection wiring 165 returns.

In this way, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 is rotatable (relatively movable) with respect to the lower rotating accessory 142, so that the posture (downward inclination) of the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 is achieved. The posture) does not change extremely regardless of the ascending / descending motion of the lower rotating accessory 142. Therefore, a part of the light emitting connection wiring 165 (the portion engaged with the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168) changes its direction extremely as the lower rotating accessory 142 moves up and down (rotates). Inconvenience that the violent light emitting connection wiring 165 is entangled with other configurations and is disconnected (for example, the inconvenience that the accessory gear 156 or the accessory rotation transmission mechanism 144 is caught between the teeth and the wire is broken. ) Can be suppressed. Further, since the engaging arm (partition member) 175 of the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 partitions the light emitting connection wiring 165 and the rotating accessory base 151 (in other words, the light emitting connection wiring 165 and the said (Because it separates the light emitting connection wiring 165 from the outside) , it is possible to prevent the light emitting connection wiring 165 from approaching the rotating accessory base 151 and further being pinched by the accessory gear 156 to break the wire.

Further, the depth dimension d of the engagement movement restricting portions 188 and 198 is set to be larger than the thickness dimension t of the binding band (engagement member) 171 and 191, and the binding band 171 and 191 are set to each wiring engaging portion 168. , Since it is avoided to protrude toward the player side in front of 193, it becomes difficult for the binding bands 171 and 191 to collide with other configurations or the hands of workers, and the engaging member is inadvertently damaged or cut. Further, it is possible to suppress the inconvenience that the light emitting connection wiring 165 is disengaged from the wiring engaging portions 168 and 193 due to the disconnection of the binding bands 171 and 191. Further, the binding bands 171 and 191 do not protrude from the front side of the wiring engaging portions 168 and 193, and the limited space in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be effectively utilized.

In the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168, the engaged light emitting connection wiring 165 can be slidable with respect to the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 (specifically, along the extending direction of the light emitting connection wiring 165). It may be slidable). For example, the wiring may be loosely fitted in the endless band-shaped binding band 171, or a loose fitting groove may be formed in a portion of the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 where the light emitting connection wiring 165 abuts. The light emitting connection wiring 165 may be loosely fitted in the fitting groove. If the light emitting connection wiring 165 is slidable with such a loose fitting configuration, the accessory side wiring connector 152b and the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 are provided regardless of the operation of the lower rotating accessory 142. It is possible to prevent tension from being applied to the light emitting connection wiring 165 between the two, and it is possible to suppress disconnection of the light emitting connection wiring 165 and disconnection from the accessory side wiring connector 152b.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the engagement movement restricting portions 118, 188, 198 are configured in a recessed shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, the engagement movement restricting portion may be configured in any structure as long as the movement of the binding band can be regulated in the wiring engaging portion. For example, it may be a through hole through which the binding band is inserted, or it may be a pair of protrusions capable of contacting both side edges of the binding band. Further, although the binding bands 111, 171 and 191 are mentioned as an example of the engaging member in the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this. In short, any configuration of the engaging member may be adopted as long as the wiring can be engaged with the wiring engaging portion. Further, as the substrate (electrical substrate) in the present invention, the relay substrates 108, 145 and the light emitting substrates 103, 152 have been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In short, any combination of substrates having any function may be adopted as long as the substrates are connected to each other by wiring.

Further, in the above embodiment, the lower rotating accessory 142 is mentioned as an example of the movable member of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as it is a movable member that can move as the game progresses, the configuration and operation mode of the movable member do not matter. Then, the accessory side wiring engaging portion 168 is mounted on the lower rotating accessory 142 in a rotatable state, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, any form of relative movement may be set as long as the wiring engaging portion is mounted so as to be able to move relative to the movable member. For example, the wiring engaging portion may be configured to slide with respect to the movable member, or may be configured to rotate while sliding.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine, which is a typical gaming machine, has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any gaming machine may be used. For example, it may be a gaming machine such as an enclosed ball type pachinko machine, an arrange ball type gaming machine, a sparrow ball type gaming machine, or a slot machine.

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