Since it is placed at a higher position than the touch unit 220B and a waterproof seal 248 is attached to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B, the upper plate 201 can be exposed to the outside air on the surface of the upper plate main body 212 or the game ball. Even if the condensed water (water droplets) flows below the upper plate 201 (above the upper plate lower covering portion 262), it is possible to prevent the condensed water from entering the touch unit 220B, and the touch unit 220B. It is possible to prevent a problem from occurring in the above.

Further, as shown in FIG. 33, since the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 for luminescent decoration of the upper plate rear decoration member 236 and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201. It is possible to prevent defects such as short circuit and corrosion in the decorative substrate 235 after the upper plate without being exposed to the water droplets condensed on the upper plate 201.

Further, in the effect operation unit 220 of the plate unit 200, when the touch unit 220B including the touch panel 246 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is vibrated by the vibrating device 242, a plurality (two) of the touch units 220B are generated. Since it is mounted on the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A while sandwiching the damper 222, the vibration of the touch unit 220B (vibration device 242) is absorbed and damped by the damper 222 and transmitted to the mounting base unit 220A. Therefore, the vibration of the mounting base unit 220A can be reduced. Therefore, if the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibrating device 242 when the touch panel 246 of the touch unit 220B is touch-operated, only the touch unit 220B vibrates. It is possible to sufficiently impart a feeling of operation of the 246, and it is possible to entertain the player with the touch operation of the touch panel 246 and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the touch unit 220B can be vibrated by the vibrating device 242, the player is surprised by the vibration of the touch unit 220B in addition to the operation feeling of the touch panel 246, and suggests the timing to operate the touch panel 246. It is possible to entertain the operation effect by the touch panel 246 of the touch unit 220B and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the touch unit 220B is supported from the lower side by a plurality of dampers 222, even if the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pushed from the upper side and an impact or a load is applied to the touch unit 220B, the damper 222 will be used. Since it is possible to absorb the impact and the like, it is possible to reduce the damage of the touch unit 220B and the mounting base unit 220A and the like due to the impact and the like, and the game is interrupted due to the damage of the touch unit 220B and the like. It is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered.

Further, since the touch panel 220B is operated by the touch panel 246, when the player operates the touch panel, the touch panel 246 is touched for a longer time than when the button is pressed. If the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibrating device 242 when the 246 is touched, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the player's finger (hand). Therefore, since the player can feel that the touch panel 246 is being operated by vibrating the player's finger, a sufficient feeling of operation can be given to the player, and the player can enjoy the operation of the touch panel 246. However, it is possible to prevent the decline in interest.

Further, by changing the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, the type of touch operation (button) can be easily changed, and it becomes possible to correspond to various effects. It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored and the interest from being lowered by various productions. Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B is equipped with a touch panel 246, touch, tap (single tap, double tap), drag, flick, pinch (pinch out, pinch in), swipe, touch and touch, as compared with the conventional pressing button. Various operations such as hold can be performed. As a result, a wider variety of operation effects can be performed, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress a decrease in interest.

Further, the touch unit 220B is mounted so as to be movable upward and downward with respect to the mounting base unit 220A (unit case 231), and the touch unit 220B is provided by the elastic force (urging force) of the plurality of dampers 222. Is pressed against the upper moving end, so that the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move during the operation of the touch panel 246, and the touch panel 246 can be operated accurately. Further, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, the player can be made to think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B which is thought to not move is vibrated according to the game state. It is possible to surprise the player by vibrating by the device 242, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other, for example, it is strong by driving the vibration device 242 at a position close to the part operated by the player on the touch panel 246. Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the player operates the touch panel 246 at a position different from the position to be operated, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is notified that the operation is incorrect. This makes it possible for the player to perform the correct operation, and it is possible to entertain the operation effect using the touch panel 246 and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since a plurality of vibration devices 242 that are separated from each other are provided, a resonance phenomenon can be generated at an arbitrary position of the touch panel 246 by appropriately controlling the frequency and intensity of vibration of each vibration device 242. Can be done. Therefore, by controlling each vibration device 242 so that the resonance phenomenon occurs at an arbitrary position operated by the player, it is possible to give a further feeling of operation and greatly surprise the player. It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, when the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pushed from above and an impact or a load acts on the touch unit 220B, both left and right ends of the touch unit 220B are attached to the unit case 231 with the damper 222 sandwiched between them. Therefore, the impact from the upper side can be absorbed (attenuated) to some extent by the bending of the damper 222 and the touch unit 220B and transmitted to the unit case 231 side. Further, on the unit case 231 side, since the outer edge of the unit case 231 is attached to the lower mounting base 230, an impact or load from the touch unit 220B side via the unit case 231 is applied to the mounting base 230. Can be widely dispersed and transmitted. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the projecting portion 231e protruding downward from the lower surface of the unit case 231 and the tubular receiving portion 230c into which the projecting portion 231e is inserted on the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230. Since a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall, the receiving portion 231e and the tubular receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other after the unit case 231 is bent downward due to an impact or a load from the touch unit 220B. The impact or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the impact or the like is further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231 and transmitted to the mounting base 230. Since the outer peripheral wall of the impact portion 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the tubular receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the impact portion 231e and the tubular receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other, the impact portion 231e (unit case). 231) Impacts and loads from the side are transmitted diagonally to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. It will be disassembled in the vertical direction, and the force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend will be reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pushed from above, the impact and the like can be effectively damped by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231 and the mounting base 230, and the touch unit 220B and the like. It is possible to prevent the mounting base unit 220A from being damaged.

A pair of flat plate-shaped wall bodies 2513 that are separated from each other in the front-rear direction at an interval S1 that allows only one game ball to be distributed, and a pair of wall bodies 2513 that are connected to each other so that the game ball can be distributed. The front-back distance S2 between the front and rear ends of the pair of wall bodies 2513 and the plate-shaped passage wall 2514 forming the first passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512 is larger than the outer diameter of the game ball. It is provided with a plurality of protrusions 2515, which are projected so as to be smaller and are arranged alternately in the distribution direction of the game ball.

Further, the guide passage 2510 has a plurality of protrusions 2516 protruding downward from the ceiling of the first passage 2511, and the front wall 2513 of the pair of wall 2513s, and the front and rear are in the middle of the second passage 2512. A notch 2517 that penetrates the wall and allows the game ball to pass through, and a bulge 2518 that bulges forward at the same distance as the protrusion 2515 at the portion of the rear wall body 2513 facing the notch. It has.

The approach detection sensor 2530 is arranged above the center in the first passage portion 2511. In the state where the center accessory 2500 is assembled on the game board 5, the upper end side of the first passage portion 2511 (guidance passage 2510) opens directly below the abutting portion 1006 forming a part of the outer circumference of the game area 5a. ing. As a result, all the game balls driven into the upper part on the right side of the center in the left-right direction of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enter the guidance passage 2510.

The second passage portion 2512 extends vertically along the outer circumference of the game area 5a (right rail 1005 of the front component 1000) with the center accessory 2500 attached to the game board 5. Then, in the second passage portion 2512, a portion (on the right end side in the front view) along the right rail 1005 of the front component 1000 is opened to the right. Further, the second passage portion 2512 is opened downward after the lower portion is bent to the left. The distance S1 between the pair of wall bodies 2513 is 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the ball. Further, the front-rear distance S2 between the tips of the protrusions 2515 protruding from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the game ball. ing.

The expansion space 2520 of the center accessory 2500 extends to the left and right with a width of 3.5 to 5 times the outer diameter of the game ball, and is directly below the lower end opening of the guidance passage 2510 (second passage portion 2512). The gate sensor 2005 is provided at a position slightly more than the same distance as the outer diameter of the gate sensor. As a result, when the game ball enters the expansion space 2520 through the guidance passage 2510, it passes through the gate sensor 2005 with an extremely high probability.

Further, the expansion space 2520 is divided into three passages, a left passage 2521, a middle passage 2522, and a right passage 2523, whose lower sides are arranged side by side with respect to the portion provided with the gate sensor 2005. As a result, when the game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 from the guidance passage 2510 passes through the left side of the gate sensor 2005, it is discharged downward through the left passage 2521, and when it passes through the gate sensor 2005, it passes through the middle passage 2522. When it is discharged downward and passes through the right side of the gate sensor 2005, it is discharged downward through the right passage 2523. In the state where the center accessory 2500 is assembled on the game board 5, the lower end of the middle passage 2522 of the expansion space 2520 is located directly above the passage entrance 2311 in the attacker unit 2300. As a result, when the game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 passes through the gate sensor 2005, it enters the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 with an extremely high probability and is sent onto the second starting port 2003.

In the guide passage 2510 of the center accessory 2500, the distance between the tips of the protrusions 2515 that alternately project from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is made smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. Therefore, the game ball cannot move straight between the tips of the opposing protrusions 2515, and the game ball moves so as to go around each protrusion 2515, so that the pair of wall bodies 2513 The game balls can be distributed in a zigzag manner in the front-rear direction in which they are separated. Further, since the first passage 2511 of the guidance passage 2510 meanders to the left and right, the game ball meanders to the left and right while moving in a zigzag manner back and forth in the first passage 2511.

Further, in the second passage portion 2512, in addition to the plurality of protrusions 2515, a bulge 2518 protruding forward from the rear wall 2513 and a game ball on the front side of the bulge 2518 on the front wall 2513. A game ball that has flowed down the second passage portion 2512 because the glass plate 564 is located immediately in front of the notch portion 2517 in the state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1 with the notch portion 2517 through which the machine can pass. However, after a part of the bulge 2518 enters the notch 2517, the flow flows down again in the second passage 2512. That is, when the game ball enters the notch 2517, the flow of the game ball temporarily stops.

For the above reasons, in the present embodiment, the distribution distance of the game ball circulating in the guidance passage 2510 is 1.5 to 3 times the height of the guidance passage 2510, so that the distribution time of the game ball is increased. It can be lengthened and slowed down as compared to the case where the distribution speed is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier to see the game ball circulating in the guidance passage 2510, and to enjoy the movement of the game ball circulating in the guidance passage 2510.

The fall cam 3113 has a flat plate shape as a whole, and the outer peripheral shape is formed in a substantially semicircular shape by a plurality of arcs having different curvatures. A shaft portion 3113a to which the shaft is fixed is formed. Further, the drop cam 3113 includes a detection piece 3113b that projects from the front surface to the front in a flat plate shape and is detected by the cam detection sensor 3117.

In the fall cam 3113, the center of the shaft portion 3113a is located on the left side of the bulging portion 3105c of the slider 3105 in the front view when the fall effect unit 3100 is assembled. Then, on the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113, the distance from the center of the shaft portion 3113a of the portion closest to the shaft portion 3113a is from the center of the shaft portion 3113a to the left end of the bulging portion 3105c (cam contact surface 3105d). The distance from the center of the shaft portion 3113a, which is shorter than the left and right (horizontal left and right directions) of the shaft portion 3113a and is the farthest from the shaft portion 3113a, is from the center of the shaft portion 3113a to the left and right of the right end of the cam contact surface 3105d. It is said to be the distance of. As a result, the drop cam 3113 is capable of contacting the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 with a substantially semicircular portion on the outer peripheral surface.

Further, the drop cam 3113 is in a state in which the detection piece 3113b is inserted into the rotation restricting groove 3102b of the basis cover 3102 in a state where the drop effect unit 3100 is assembled. As a result, the rotation of the falling cam 3113 causes the detection piece 3113b to come into contact with the circumferential end of the rotation restricting groove 3102b extending in an arc shape, thereby restricting the rotation range of the falling cam 3113.

In the drop effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment, in a normal state, the drop decorative body 3106 attached to the right end side of the slider 3105 (slider body 3105a) is located substantially above the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in front view. The upper decorative body of the upper effect unit 3200 is inserted between the base portion 3106a and the claw portion 3106c of the falling decorative body 3106. Therefore, from the front side (player side), only the three claws 3106c of the falling decorative body 3106 can be visually recognized (see FIG. 47 and the like).

In this normal state, as shown in FIG. 55A, the slider 3105 is located near the upper ends of the first shaft 3103 and the second shaft 3104, and the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 is placed on the cam contact surface 3105d. Are in contact with each other. Further, the rack member 3108 is in the most lowered state. Further, in a normal state, the detection piece 3105e of the slider 3105, the detection piece 3108c of the rack member 3108, and the detection piece 3113b of the falling cam 3113 are attached to the slider detection sensor 3115, the rack detection sensor 3116, and the cam detection sensor 3117, respectively. It is in the detected state.

More specifically, in the normal state, the drop cam 3113 is in a state in which the detection piece 3113b is located directly above the shaft portion 3113a and the portion extending as a string on the outer peripheral surface extends diagonally to the upper right. The portion of the outer peripheral surface that is farthest from the center of the shaft portion 3113a is in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105. The cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 from above due to its own weight. The slider 3105 is restricted from moving downward by abutting on the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113.

From this normal state, when the fall effect motor 3112 is driven to rotate the fall cam 3113 clockwise in front view, a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113 that is in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is found. It will move. Then, as the falling cam 3113 rotates clockwise, the distance from the rotation center of the falling cam 3113 (the center of the shaft portion 3113a) to the portion in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d becomes shorter, and that portion Since the height of the drop cam 3113 is lowered, the slider 3105 slides downward through the cam contact surface 3105d that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 (see FIG. 55 (b)).

Then, when the fall cam 3113 is further rotated clockwise, the detection piece 3113b of the fall cam 3133 comes into contact with the right end of the rotation control groove 3102b of the base cover 3102 and falls further in the clockwise direction. The rotation of the cam 3113 is restricted. Even in this state, since the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113, the slider 3105 does not slide (fall) further downward.

In this drop effect unit 3100, the drop cam 3113 is rotated at a position in a normal state (position in FIG. 55 (a)) and a position in which the fall cam 3113 is rotated clockwise in front view (FIG. 55 (b)) according to the game state. The falling decorative body 3106 can be vibrated (oscillated) up and down via the slider 3105 by reciprocating with and from the position (position).

On the other hand, when the fall effect motor 3112 is driven to rotate the fall cam 3113 counterclockwise when viewed from the front from the normal state, the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113 comes into contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105. The portion is moved to the left end side of the cam contact surface 3105d. Then, when the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 moves to the left side of the left end of the cam contact surface 3105d, the restriction of sliding downward of the slider 3105 is released, and the slider 3105 falls together with the falling decorative body 3106 by their own weight. (See FIG. 56 (c)).

The slider 3105 and the falling decorative body 3106 that have fallen along the first shaft 3103 and the second shaft 3104 from the normal state are further affected by the stopper block 3105f of the slider 3105 coming into contact with the stopper portion 3102a of the base cover 3102. The fall is stopped and the fall stops (see FIG. 56 (c)).

When the falling decoration body 3106 is dropped, the falling decoration body 3106 is positioned from the position of the upper front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 to the center of the front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, and the entire falling decoration body 3106 is located. Becomes visible from the player side (see FIG. 57).

When returning the drop decoration body 3106 (slider 3105) from the dropped state to the normal state, the drop return motor 3111 is driven to raise the rack member 3108. Since the rack member 3108 is attached to the first shaft 3103 on the lower side of the slider 3105 so as to be able to move up and down, when the rack member 3108 rises, its upper surface comes into contact with the lower surface of the slider 3105. Then, when the rack member 3108 is further raised by driving the drop return motor 3111 while the upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the slider 3105, the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) is raised together with the rack member 3108 (FIG. 56 (FIG. 56). d)).

After that, when the detection piece 3105e of the slider 3105 that rises together with the rack member 3108 is detected by the slider detection sensor 3115, the drive of the fall return motor 3111 is stopped, the rise of the rack member 3108 (slider 3105) is stopped, and the rise is stopped. When the drop cam 3113 is rotated clockwise in front view by the drive of the drop effect motor 3112 and the detection piece 3113b of the drop cam 3113 is detected by the cam detection sensor 3117, the drive of the drop effect motor 3112 is stopped and the drop cam is stopped. The 3113 stops at the normal position.

Then, the drop return motor 3111 is driven in the opposite direction to lower the rack member 3108. When the rack member 3108 is lowered, the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) is lowered together with the rack member 3108, the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113, and the slider 3105 is lowered. Stop. After that, only the rack member 3108 is lowered, and when the rack member 3108 is lowered to the position in the normal state, the driving of the drop effect motor 3111 is stopped. As a result, it returns to the normal state.

It is desirable that at least one of the lower surface of the stopper block 3105f of the slider 3105 and the upper surface of the stopper portion 3102a of the base cover 3102 is provided with a shock absorbing member made of a polymer elastic body. As a result, the impact when the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) is dropped can be alleviated, and the drop effect unit 3100 can be made less likely to be damaged.

The drop effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment swings the fall decoration body 3106 up and down by reciprocating the fall cam 3113 in the front view clockwise direction from the normal state according to the game state. Can be done. As a result, the falling decoration body 3106 sways as a pre-swing before the falling decoration body 3106 falls, so that the player can increase the expectation for the falling decoration body 3106 to fall. Then, by rotating the falling cam 3113 counterclockwise when viewed from the front and free-falling the falling decorative body 3106, it is possible to give the player a stronger impact than the conventional lowering effect of the moving decorative body. It is possible to surprise the player and prevent the player from losing his interest.

Further, since the falling decoration body 3106 can be swung up and down by the reciprocating rotation of the falling cam 3113 before the falling decoration body 3106 is dropped, as compared with the case where the falling decoration body 3106 is suddenly dropped, It is possible to attract the player's attention to the falling decoration body 3106 before the falling decoration body 3106 falls, and it is possible to surely show how the falling decoration body 3106 starts to fall, and the player can be seen. It can be entertaining and prevent the decline in interest.

[3-7b. Upper production unit]
The upper effect unit 3200 is arranged above the central liquid crystal display device 1500 within the frame of the front view center accessory 2500, and has a three-dimensionally decorated upper decorative body 3210 extending to the left and right, and an upper decorative body. The right end side of the 3210 is rotatably attached around an axis extending back and forth, and an upper effect drive unit (not shown) for rotating the upper decorative body 3210 is provided. The upper decorative body 3210 is provided with a plurality of LEDs inside, and can be decorated by emitting light by appropriately emitting light from each LED.

The left and right lengths of the upper decorative body 3210 of the upper effect unit 3200 are substantially the same as the left and right lengths of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. Further, the upper decorative body 3210 is located between the base portion 3106a and the claw portion 3106c of the rising falling decorative body 3106 in a normal state. Therefore, in the normal state (the state in which the falling decoration body 3106 is not falling), the falling decoration body 3106 prevents the falling decoration body 3106 from rotating downward (see FIG. 47 and the like).

The upper effect unit 3200 is rotated counterclockwise around the right end side by the upper effect drive unit in a state where the falling decoration body 3106 is dropped, so that the left end side moves to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. However, the whole is in a state where the left side is low and slanted (see FIG. 58). By rotating the upper effect unit 3200 in accordance with the fall of the fall decoration body 3106, it is possible to show the player a movable effect as if it had been torn by the claws of the fall decoration body 3106 and fell.

In the right effect unit 3400, in a normal state, the right decorative body 3410 is located on the right side of the front view of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (see FIG. 47 and the like). In the right effect unit 3400, the right decorative body 3410 can move to the left from the normal state, move to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, and swing up and down according to the game state ( See FIG. 60). As a result, the right decorative body 3410 moves to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, so that the player's attention can be attracted to the right decorative body 3410, and the right decorative body 3410 moves up and down so as to shake its head. By swinging, the movement of the right decorative body 3410 can be enjoyed.

[3-7e. Lower production unit]
As shown in FIG. 47 and the like, the lower effect unit 3500 can rotate both ends of the columnar lower decorative body 3510 extending to the left and right along the lower side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 and the lower decorative body 3510 in front view. It is provided with a lower effect drive unit (not shown) that is attached to the lower part of the back box 3010 by rotationally driving the lower decorative body 3510 according to the game state.

In the normal state, the lower effect unit 3500 has stopped rotating, and the lower decorative body 3510 rotates around an axis extending to the left and right according to the game state, and a specific part in the circumferential direction is forward (player). Stop towards the side). As a result, it is possible to suggest the arrival of an opportunity to the player, and it is possible to raise the expectation of the player.

[4. Game content]
Next, the content of the game by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player rotates the handle lever 504 of the handle unit 500 arranged in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3, and the game ball stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200. However, the game is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 on the game board 5, and the game by the game ball is started. The game ball driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the upper left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 that divides the game area 5a into left and right depending on the driving strength. The striking strength of the game ball can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle lever 504, and the more it is rotated in the clockwise direction, the stronger the striking force can be.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are planted at appropriate positions in a predetermined gauge arrangement on the front surface of the game panel 1100, and the game ball comes into contact with the obstacle nails. The flow speed of the game ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movement can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill (not shown) that rotates due to the contact of the game ball is provided at an appropriate position.

When the game ball driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view from the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are not shown. While the game ball comes into contact with the ball, it flows down the left side of the center accessory 2500. Then, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp entrance 2502 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, the center accessory 2500 passes through the warp passage 2503. It is supplied to the left end of the stage 2505 from the warp outlet 2504 that is open in the frame.

The game ball supplied to the stage 2505 of the center accessory 2500 rolls left and right on the stage 2505 and is discharged forward from the discharge portions 2505a formed on both sides in the center in the left-right direction. , The area above the start port unit 2100 will flow down below the stage 2505 in the game area 5a. As a result, there is a possibility that the game ball will be accepted into the general winning opening 2001, the first starting port 2002, or the like of the starting port unit 2100.

When the game ball rolling on the stage 2505 enters the chance entrance 2506 which is open to the rear side of the center in the left-right direction in the stage 2505, the game is played from the chance exit 2507 which is opened directly above the first start port 2002. It is released into the region 5a and has a high probability of being accepted into the first starting port 2002. When the game balls are received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

If the game ball released from the stage 2506 into the game area 5a flows down to either the left or right side of the first start port 2002 without being received by the first start port 2002, it is arranged downstream of the left and right. There is a possibility that it will be accepted by the general winning opening 2001. Then, when the game balls are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

By the way, when the game ball that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2502, the game is played under the center accessory 2500 due to a plurality of obstacle nails, the rolling shelf 2201 of the side unit 2200, and the like. It is guided toward the center in the left-right direction in the region 5a, and may be accepted by the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, or the like arranged on the downstream side.

On the other hand, in the game area 5a, the game ball driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters (is driven) to the right side of the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500. ), And is discharged into the expansion space 2520 through the first passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512 of the guidance passage 2510. In this expansion space 2520, since the gate sensor 2005 is arranged directly below the lower end of the guidance passage 2510, the game ball released into the expansion space 2520 will pass through the gate sensor 2005 with an extremely high probability. The game ball that has passed through the gate sensor 2005 is discharged from the expansion space 2520 into the game area 5a below through the middle passage 2522.

If the game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 from the guidance passage 2510 does not pass through the gate sensor 2005, the game below the expansion space 2520 through either the left or right left passage 2521 or the right passage 2523 of the gate sensor 2005. It is released into region 5a.

The game ball released downward from the expansion space 2520 through the gate sensor 2005 and through the middle passage 2522 has an extremely high probability of reaching the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 located directly below the lower end of the middle passage 2522. enter in. Then, the game ball that has entered the passage entrance 2311 flows down onto the second start door 2006 and rolls to the left along the upper surface of the second start door 2006, so that the second start door 2006 From the left end, the upper surface of the outer peripheral surface of the second starting port passage 2310 is further rolled to the left, and is discharged downward from the left end of the upper surface of the outer peripheral surface of the second starting port passage 2310. The game ball released from the left end of the upper surface of the outer circumference of the second starting port passage 2310 passes through the front side of the large winning opening door 2007 that closes the large winning opening 2004. Therefore, when the big prize opening door 2007 is in the open state, it will be accepted by the big winning opening 2004.

In the present embodiment, when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board, and when the lottery normal lottery result is "normal hit", the second start door 2006 is set for a predetermined time (for example). , 0.3 to 3 seconds), and the second starting port 2003 is opened. Therefore, when the game ball reaches the position of the second start door 2006 (second start 2003) through the passage entrance 2311 at the timing when the second start door 2006 is retracted and opened, the game is played. The ball is received in the second start port 2003 (enters the second start port passage 2310).

In this example, in the ordinary lottery, the probability that "ordinary hit" is drawn is set high. Therefore, when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it is received by the second starting port 2003 with a relatively high probability. When the game balls are received in the second starting port 2003, a predetermined number (for example, one) of game balls is paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

As a result, in the present embodiment, when the game ball is driven (so-called right-handed) so as to pass through the right side of the center accessory 2500, the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005 with an extremely high probability, and the gate sensor 2005 is inserted. If the result of the normal lottery drawn by passing the game ball is "normal hit", it will be accepted at the second start port 2003 with an extremely high probability, so even beginners and players who are unfamiliar with the game can easily start the second start. The game ball can be accepted by the mouth 2003, and the player can be entertained.

By the way, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the player strikes right, the second starting port 2003 can easily accept the game ball, so that the second starting port 2003 is accepted (winning a prize). ), The burden on the game hall side in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed increases, and there is a risk of hesitating to install the pachinko machine 1. However, in this pachinko machine 1, since the number of game balls paid out by accepting the game balls to the second starting port 2003 is one, the lottery of the special lottery result described later by the acceptance to the second starting port 2003 As a result, the burden on the game hall side can be reduced while enhancing the interest of the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be installed without any problem.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by passing the game ball through the gate sensor 2005, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery to suggesting the result of the ordinary lottery (for example,). 0.1 to 3 seconds, also called normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed by the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5.

If the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005 between the time when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005 and the time when the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of the suggestion is suspended until the suggestion of the previous ordinary lottery result is completed. In addition, the maximum number of pending lottery results is four, and more than that, even if the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it is discarded without being reserved. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game balls are received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003, the main control board is in an advantageous gaming state (for example, “big hit”, “medium”) that is advantageous to the player. A lottery of special lottery results that generate "hits", "small hits", "probability fluctuation hits", "time reduction hits", etc.) is performed. Then, the lottery special lottery result is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 360 seconds). In addition, the special lottery results drawn by accepting the game balls in the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003 include "loss", "small hit", "2R big hit", "15R big hit", and " There are "probability change (probability change) hit", "time reduction (time reduction) hit", "probability change time reduction hit", "probability change time reduction no hit", and the like.

If the special lottery result drawn by accepting the game balls to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003 is a special lottery result that causes an advantageous gaming state, the large winning opening door 2007 is drawn in the attacker unit 2300. The opening and closing operation is performed in an opening / closing pattern according to the result of the special lottery, and the game ball can be accepted into the large winning opening 2004. When a game ball is received in the large prize opening 2004 when the large prize opening 2004 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of game balls are received from the payout device 830 by the main control board and the payout board. Is paid out to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the big winning opening door 2007 is opening and closing in a predetermined pattern, by making the big winning opening 2004 accept the game balls, many game balls can be paid out and the player can be entertained. ..

In the present embodiment, from the start of the special lottery to the suggestion of the result of the special lottery by accepting the game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003, the first start port 2002 and the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003. (Ii) When the game ball is accepted at the starting port 2003, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started. Therefore, the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. NS. The number of reserved special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003, and for more than that, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003. Even if the game ball is accepted in 2003, the special lottery result is not reserved and is discarded. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The suggestion of the special lottery result is made by the function display unit 1400 and the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In the function display unit 1400, the special lottery result is suggested by being directly controlled by the main control board. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by repeatedly turning on and off the plurality of LEDs to blink for a predetermined time and then by combining the lit LEDs.

On the other hand, in the central liquid crystal display 1500, the special lottery result is suggested as an effect image that is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board based on the control signal from the main control board. The effect image suggesting the result of the special lottery on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is a pattern in which three symbol rows consisting of a plurality of symbols are displayed side by side in the left-right direction, and each symbol row is changed and displayed in a variable manner. The columns are stopped and displayed in sequence, and each of the three symbol columns is stopped and displayed so that the symbols of the three symbol columns that are stopped and displayed are in a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. If the special lottery result is other than "missing", after the three symbol rows are stopped and each symbol is stopped and displayed, a definite image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display 1500 and the lottery is performed. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) is generated according to the result of the special lottery.

The time suggesting the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variable time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (the symbol sequence fluctuates to confirm the image). Is different from the time until is displayed), and the function display unit 1400 is set to a shorter time.

Further, on the peripheral control board, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the left decorative body 2610 of the left effect unit 2600 falls according to the lottery special lottery result. Falling decoration body 3106 of production unit 3100, upper decoration body 3210 of upper production unit 3200, upper shutter 3310 and lower shutter 3320 of shutter production unit 3300, right decoration body 3410 of right production unit 3400, lower decoration body of lower production unit 3500. The movable effect is performed by appropriately using 3510, etc., and the player can be entertained by the movable effect, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest in the game from being lowered.

When the special lottery result is "small hit", the large winning door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened and closed for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the big winning opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened, or a predetermined time is specified for the big winning opening 2004. When any of the conditions of accepting the number of game balls (for example, 10) is satisfied, the opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) that closes the grand prize opening door 2007 is performed a predetermined number of times. (Predetermined number of rounds) Repeat. For example, if it is a "2R jackpot", it is repeated for 2 rounds, and if it is a "15R jackpot", it is repeated for 15 rounds, respectively, to generate an advantageous gaming state that is advantageous to the player.

In "big hit", after the big hit game is finished, the probability that a special lottery result such as "big hit" will be drawn is changed ("probability change hit"), or the display time of the production image suggesting the special lottery result is changed. ("Time saving hit") There is a "hit".

In this way, when the game ball driven into the upper part of the game area 5a by the operation of the player flows (flows down) in the game area 5a and is received by the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2003. , The special lottery result is drawn, and the effect image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 according to the lottery special lottery result. By displaying this effect image, there is a possibility that the effect image suggests a special lottery result that the attacker unit 2300 can accept the large prize opening 2004. Therefore, whether or not the large prize opening 2004 can be accepted. It is possible to entertain the production image while making the player feel excited, and it is possible to raise the expectation of the player. Then, when the special lottery result (big hit) that the big winning opening 2004 can be accepted is suggested by the production image, the big winning opening door 2007 of the big winning opening 2004 to which the privilege is given opens and closes in a predetermined pattern and the game ball. Because it is possible to accept the game ball, the player can be made to hit the game ball aiming at the big prize opening 2004, and the player's interest is given by giving the privilege by accepting the game ball to the big prize opening 2004. Can be enhanced.

By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as a result of a special lottery drawn by accepting a game ball into the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003, a special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 and the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is used. Even if the suggestion of the lottery result is completed, there is a "special jackpot" that does not generate an advantageous gaming state unless the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2005. When this "special jackpot" is drawn, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying a special effect image for suggesting the result of the special lottery. Then, when the three symbol rows are stopped and displayed as a special lottery result in the combination of the symbols corresponding to the "big hit (special jackpot)" in the center accessory 2500, the game ball is displayed by the approach detection sensor 2530 of the center accessory 2500. The detection becomes effective, and the central liquid crystal display device 1500 displays an effect image (for example, an image of an arrow pointing to the guidance passage 2510) prompting the player to drive the game ball into the guidance passage 2510.

In order to encourage the player to drive the game ball into the guidance passage 2510, in addition to displaying the effect image by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the guidance passage 2510 is light-emitting and decorated from the rear side, and sounds such as voice and music are emitted. You may output it.

When the player makes a right-handed strike to enter the game ball into the guided passage 2510 by displaying an effect image prompting the player to hit the game ball into the guided passage 2510 (right-handed) on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The game ball is detected by passing through the approach detection sensor 2530 arranged above the guidance passage 2510. When the game ball is detected by the approach detection sensor 2530, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying an effect image reminding that an advantageous game state occurs when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the gate sensor 2005, and the player can be thrilled depending on whether or not the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, and the expectation for the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state can be increased.

At this time, in the present embodiment, the guidance passage 2510 arranged on the upstream side of the gate sensor 2005 includes a first passage portion 2511 meandering to the left and right, and a second passage portion 2512 extending vertically. A plurality of protrusions 2515 protruding from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 forming the front and rear walls of the first passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512 and alternately arranged in the flow direction. I have. As a result, in the guidance passage 2510, the game ball meanders to the left and right in the first first passage portion 2511 and flows down in the subsequent second passage portion 2512, so that the game ball flows down depending on the position where the game ball is distributed. , It is possible to give a change to the movement of the game ball, it is possible to make the player less bored by the game ball whose movement changes, and it is possible to entertain the movement of the game ball and suppress the deterioration of the interest. .. When the game ball circulates in the guide passage 2510, the distance S2 between the tips of the protrusions 2515 that alternately project from the facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is larger than the outer diameter of the game ball. Because the size is small, the game ball moves around each protrusion 2515, and the game ball is distributed in a zigzag manner in the front-rear direction in which the pair of wall bodies 2513 are separated from each other in the guidance passage 2510. With these configurations, the distance for guiding the game ball by the guidance passage 2510 is 1.5 to 3 times the height, so that the game ball is driven into the guidance passage 2510 until it reaches the gate sensor 2005. Since the time is longer than the height, the movement of the game ball circulating in the guidance passage 2510 can be surely shown to the player, and the movement of the game ball circulating in the guidance passage 2510 can be shown. By chasing, it is possible to raise the expectation that the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005 on the downstream side, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, in the guidance passage 2510, the side close to the gate sensor 2005 is a second passage portion 2512 extending up and down, and the circulation speed of the game ball can be gradually increased as it approaches the gate sensor 2005 side. By increasing the speed of the game ball, it is possible to make the player feel tight and raise the expectation, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, a plurality of protrusions 2516 are provided on the ceiling of the first passage portion 2511 that is meandering in the guidance passage 2510, and when the game ball that has fallen at the folded portion bounces toward the ceiling side at the bottom surface, it is provided on the ceiling. Since it comes into contact with the protruding portion 2516, it is possible to prevent the game ball from reflecting smoothly and to reflect the game ball directly below or upstream as compared with the case where the ceiling is a flat surface. , The distribution of game balls can be delayed. Therefore, since the speed of the game ball circulating in the first passage portion 2511 can be reduced, the movement of the game ball can be easily seen, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be surely achieved.

On the other hand, in the central liquid crystal display device 1500, it seems that the "big hit" is confirmed at the timing when the game ball enters (or passes through the gate sensor 2005) the expansion space 2520 in which the gate sensor 2005 is arranged from the guidance passage 2510. Special image is displayed. As a result, the interest of the player can be further enhanced.

A second approach detection sensor for detecting the passage of the game ball is provided in the middle of the second passage portion 2512 of the guidance passage 2510, and based on the detection of the passage of the game ball by the second approach detection sensor, the above-mentioned special It is desirable to correct the display timing of the image. As a result, the game ball that circulates in the guidance passage 2510 circulates in the guidance passage 2510 faster or later than a predetermined value, so that the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005 and is special. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable (unfortunate mood) due to the timing of displaying the image being different, and the game is played by matching the display timing of the special image with the passing timing of the game ball. Can entertain people.

Then, the game ball that has circulated through the guidance passage 2510 enters the expansion space 2520 that is widely spread to the left and right where the gate sensor 2005 is arranged, so that the game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 from the guidance passage 2510 enters the gate sensor. It will pass or not pass through 2005. As a result, the game ball that has passed through the guidance passage 2510 does not always pass through the gate sensor 2005, so that the player is thrilled depending on whether or not the game ball that has passed through the guidance passage 2510 passes through the gate sensor 2005. It is possible to raise the expectation of the player.

Further, even if the game ball circulates in the guidance passage 2510, it does not always pass through the gate sensor 2005 on the downstream side. Therefore, even if the game ball enters the guidance passage 2510, it cannot be relieved. Until the entered game ball reaches the expansion space 2520, the player can pay attention to the movement of the game ball, and the movement of the game ball circulating in the guidance passage 2510 is surely shown to enjoy the movement of the game ball. You can do it.

[5. Relationship between the present embodiment and the present invention]
The cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 in the drop effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 of the present embodiment is on the contact surface of the present invention, and the drop decoration body 3106 of the present embodiment is on the decoration body of the present invention. The rack member 3108, the intermediate gear 3109, the drive gear 3110, and the drop return motor 3111 are used in the return mechanism of the present invention, the drive gear 3110 of the present embodiment is used as the pinion gear of the present invention, and the fall return motor 3111 of the present embodiment is used as the main. The return motor of the present invention, the drop effect motor 3112 of the present embodiment corresponds to the drop motor of the present invention, and the drop cam 3113 of the present embodiment corresponds to the rotating member of the present invention, respectively.

[6. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, on the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113 in the drop effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, from the rotation center (center of the shaft portion 3113a) to the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105. In a state where the falling cam 3113 is rotated so that the portion longer than the horizontal distance of the cam 3105d is directly below the cam contact surface 3105d, the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113. Since the contact can be made from the upper side, the downward movement of the slider 3105 is restricted by the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113, and the slider 3105 does not fall. Since the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 has a long portion and a short portion from the center of rotation, the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 is not a perfect circle with respect to the center of rotation. From this, when the falling cam 3113 is rotated (rotated) by the drop effect motor 3112 within the range where the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 comes into contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105, the slider is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113. The height of the portion of the 3105 that comes into contact with the cam contact surface 3105d changes relatively, and the slider 3105 slides up and down via the cam contact surface 3105d. Therefore, when the falling cam 3113 is reciprocally rotated within the range where the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 comes into contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105, the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) passes through the cam contact surface 3105d. Can be swung up and down within a predetermined height range.

On the other hand, on the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113, a portion shorter than the horizontal distance from the center of rotation (center of the shaft portion 3113a) to the cam contact surface 3105d is laterally outside the cam contact surface 3105d. In the state where the falling cam 3113 is rotated, the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 cannot come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 from above, so that the slider 3105 moves below the falling cam 3113. The slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) can be dropped below the predetermined height range in which the slider 3105 swings.

After the slider 3105 is dropped, the drive gear 3110 and the intermediate gear 3109 are rotated by the drop return motor 3111, so that the rack member 3108 having the rack gear 3108a that meshes with the intermediate gear 3109 can be raised and lowered. When the rack member 3108 is raised while the 3105 is dropped, the upper end of the rack member 3108 comes into contact with the lower end of the slider 3105, and the slider 3105 can be raised together with the rack member 3108. Raise the slider 3105 until it is located above the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113. Then, with the slider 3105 raised by the rack member 3108, the falling cam 3113 is rotated so that the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 is located directly below the cam contact surface 3105d. After that, the fall return motor 3111 is rotated in the reverse direction and the slider 3105 is lowered by the rack member 3108 to bring the cam contact surface 3105a into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fall cam 3113, and the slider 3105 is supported so as not to fall and returns. It will be in the state of.

In this way, since the mechanism for dropping the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) and the mechanism for raising the dropped slider 3105 are separate mechanisms, the distance (height) at which the slider 3105 freely falls is made higher. It is possible to greatly surprise the player by the falling decorative body 3106 that falls greatly, and it is possible to entertain the player by the movement of the falling decorative body 3106 and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the falling decoration body 3106 can be swung up and down within a predetermined height range by the falling cam 3113 via the slider 3105, the falling decoration body 3106 is swung before the falling decoration body 3106 is dropped. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the falling decoration body 3106, and the moment when the falling decoration body 3106 falls can be shown to the player. That is, before the falling decorative body 3106 falls, the falling decorative body 3106 swings steadily, which makes it possible to give the player a feeling that the falling decorative body 3106 will fall, and the falling decorative body 3106 will be wobbly. It is possible to excite and excite the player depending on when the falling decorative body 3106 is falling, and it is possible to raise the expectation of the player. Then, when the falling decorative body 3106 falls, it is possible to make the player think that there is something good, and here again, the player's expectation for the game can be raised. Therefore, it is possible to fully entertain the player with the falling effect of the falling decorative body 3106, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game.

Further, the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113 whose distance from the rotation center (center of the shaft portion 3113a) differs depending on the portion of the outer peripheral surface so as to swing up and down. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113, the vertical swing of the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) can be swung with a waveform different from that of the sine wave. As a result, the swing of the falling decoration body 3106 can be given realism, so that the player can enjoy the swinging (movement) of the falling decoration body 3106 and can not get tired of it. It is possible to suppress a decline in the interest in the game.
