It is designed to contain the sound so that it does not interfere with the sound that is being heard, and is formed to have a relatively large volume. As shown in FIG. 14, the upper left portion 10ea of ​​the enclosure 10e is The enclosure 10e is formed so as to extend upward to the right side. The enclosure 1 is arranged to contact the bottom of the upper tray body 17p. The lower left portion 10eb of 0e is positioned so as to contact the right end of the lower tray body 18p.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 16, the enclosure 10e has a conduit ( An opening 10ec leading to the conduit 10c is provided. , the so-called Helmholtz resonance principle causes the rear of the speaker 10c to The sound emitted inside the 0e resonates and amplifies as it propagates to the outside. The sound propagating to the front of the speaker 10c overlaps with the sound emitted from the front of the speaker 10c, creating a rich and It feels like a powerful bass sound. Also, when sound comes out of the speaker 10c, the sound In conjunction with this, air flows out from the opening 10ec to the outside. Sound is generated from the speaker 10c. When not in this state, air does not flow out from the opening 10ec to the outside.

[0023] According to such a speaker unit 10, the upper left portion 10ea of ​​the enclosure 10e is Because it has a partially bulged shape, it has a larger capacity than a rectangular enclosure, for example. This allows the speaker 10c to produce powerful bass with sufficient sound pressure. can.

[0024] When sound is generated from the speaker 10c, the enclosure 10e The wind can be blown out from the opening 10ec to the outside with sufficient wind pressure.

[0025] Furthermore, when sound is generated by the speaker 10c, the entire enclosure 10e is subjected to sound pressure. The upper left 10ea and lower left 10eb of the enclosure 10e vibrate in response to the vibration. Since the vibrations are in contact with the upper tray body 17p and the lower tray body 18p, This spreads to the entire plate body 18p. This allows a lot of play to be created in the upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p. Even when game balls are stored, game balls come out from the payout port 170 and the discharge port 180. Vibration can effectively prevent ball clogging.

[0026] [Blower mechanism 110] The blower mechanism 110 changes the direction of the airflow blown out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. The enclosure 10e is located adjacent to the right side surface of the enclosure 10e. As shown in FIG. 19, the air blowing mechanism 110 is made up of cover members 110A and 110B which can be separated into two parts, left and right. 0B, solenoid 111, slide member 112, link member 113, spring 114, opening / closing unit The solenoid 111, the slide member 112, and the open / close detection sensor 116 are provided. The link member 113, the spring 114, the opening / closing member 115, and the opening / closing detection sensor 116 are connected to the cover. - is housed inside members 110A and 110B.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the cover member 110A has an opening for the enclosure 10e. The opening / closing member 115 opens and closes the space 110a in the direction directly facing the opening 10ec. The lower part of the space 110a is always open regardless of whether the opening / closing member 115 is closed or open. The air vent 8ca provided in the under cover 8c is located in the air vent 8ca (see FIG. 16). As shown in FIGS. 17 and 19, the cover member 110B has a space 110a and a An opening 110b is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 110b. As part of the right lower side cover 8ba, a vent 80 is provided (see FIG. 12, 15, and 16). As a result, the opening and closing member 115 closes the space 110a. In this state, the wind blown out from the opening 10ec hits the opening / closing member 115 and is blocked. The air is guided downward into the space 110a without passing through 110b. The air is then blown out through the ventilation opening 8ca of the under cover 8c. When the opening and closing member 115 opens the space 110a, the liquid fed out from the opening 10ec The wind flows almost straight without being blocked by the opening / closing member 115, and flows through the space 110a and the opening After passing through 110b, the air passes through the ventilation opening 80 in the lower right side cover 8ba and is sent out to the outside. The launch handle 26b of the launcher 26 is disposed at a position substantially directly opposite the air outlet 80. The air coming out of the air outlet 80 hits the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. That is, the space 110a, the opening 110b, and the air outlet 80 are connected through the opening 10ec. The airflow path from the launch handle 26b to the launch handle 26b is generally straight. The wind can reach the player's hand holding the ball 26b without weakening the wind pressure as much as possible. This allows the player to feel the wind without fail. Regardless of whether it is open or closed, the sound emitted from the opening 10ec along with the wind is The heat is released to the outside through either the vent or the vent hole 8ca, so the heat is released to the outside through the Helmholtz resonance. You can fully experience deep bass without reducing the acoustic effect.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 17 to 20, the solenoid 111 is connected to the on / off operation to project and depress the projections. The plunger 111a has a retractable plunger 111a. The tip of the plunger 111a is connected to a slide member The slide member 112 is connected to the cover portion 112 so as to be movable in the horizontal direction. The slide member 112 is supported by a member 110A. The long hole 112a is formed as shown in FIG. The base end 113b of the link member 113 is rotatably connected to the cover 113a. The link member 113 is supported by the bar member 110A and has a spring 114 at a position near the tip of the link member 113. The other end of the spring 114 is anchored to a suitable portion of the cover member 110A. An elongated hole 113c is formed at the tip of the link member 113. The connecting pin 115a provided on the opening / closing member 115 is movably locked. 5 moves between a closed position where it remains in the space 110a and an open position where it is displaced from the space 110a. The open / close detection sensor 116 is, for example, a touch sensor. When the opening / closing member 115 is in the open position, the ring When a part of the lock member 113 comes into contact with or comes close to the space 110a, the space 110a is in an open state. When the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed position, the link member 113 detects whether the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed position. By moving away from the sensor 116, it is detected that the space 110a is in a closed state. The open / close detection sensor 116 is electrically connected to the sub-control board 33.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, when the solenoid 111 is in the OFF state, the plunger 111a When in the protruding position, the slide member 112 is positioned to the left in the drawing, and the tip of the link member 113 As a result of the end side being pulled by the spring 114, the connecting pin 1 is inserted into the long hole 113c at the tip end. The opening and closing member 115 connected via the opening and closing member 115a remains in the closed position of the space portion 110a. At this time, the link member 113 is turned on by the open / close detection sensor 116. Since the door is located at a distance from the door, the open / close detection sensor 116 does not output a detection signal indicating the closed state. The signal is supplied to the control board 33.

[0030] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, when the solenoid 111 is turned on, the plan The plunger 111a moves from the protruding position to the retracted position. When the slide member 112 moves, the slide member 112 moves to the right in the figure, and the link member 113 moves accordingly. The tip end side rotates counterclockwise around the base end portion 113b against the pulling force of the spring 114. As a result, the link member 113 is connected to the long hole 113c of the link member 113 via the connecting pin 115a. The opened / closed member 115 moves from the space 110a to a retracted position on the right side in the figure, As a result, the space 110a is opened. At this time, the link member 113 is in the open / closed state. Since the opening / closing detection sensor 116 is in contact with or in close proximity to the opening / closing detection sensor 116, a detection signal indicating an open state is output. The signal is supplied to the sub-control board 33.

[0031] According to this type of air blowing mechanism 110, air flows from the opening 10ec through the air outlet 80 to the launch handle The airflow path leading to the opening 26b is generally linear, and the opening 10ec is located between the opening 10ec and the air outlet 80. When the space 110a in which the In this case, the airflow from the opening 10ec is guided to the vent 8ca located below the space 110a. On the other hand, when the space 110a is in an open state, the airflow from the opening 10ec The air is guided in a straight line from the space 110a through the opening 110b to the air outlet 80. The air coming out of the air outlet 80 flows straight toward the launch handle 26b. The ball flows and hits the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. You can hear the low frequencies and feel the wind on your skin. When the wind is guided to the ventilation opening 8ca, the player's hand may be placed near the ventilation opening 8ca. Therefore, for example, you can feel only the deep bass through your ears without feeling the wind. do.

[0032] [Lighting Unit 12] The light emitting unit 12 emits light onto the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. The light emitting unit 12 is located diagonally above and to the left of the firing handle 26b. Although the illustration and description of the above will be omitted, a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means, a plurality of LEDs mounted The light emitting substrate includes a light guide plate for guiding light from a plurality of LEDs in a predetermined direction. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the light from the light emitting unit 12 is guided in a predetermined direction as follows: An irradiation window 81 is provided in the detachable upper right side cover 8bb as part of the lower tray cover 8b. The light from the light-emitting unit 12 is guided through the irradiation window 81 to the firing handle 26b. The light is projected in the direction of the arrow 26b and reflected as a spotlight on the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. This allows the user to feel the wind on their skin and the deep bass on their ears, as well as the visual sensation of the projected light. It can stimulate the senses and make you feel.

[0033] [Electrical configuration of gaming machine] Next, the control circuit of the gaming machine according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In Figure 21, "switch" is abbreviated as "SW" and "solenoid" is abbreviated as "SOL". Write down.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 21, the gaming machine includes a main control board 28 as a main control means for controlling the game. and a sub-control board 33 as a sub-control means for controlling the presentation according to the progress of the game. do.

[0035] The main control board 28 includes a main CPU 280, a main ROM 28 which is a read-only memory, and 1, a main RAM 282 which is a read / write memory, an initial reset circuit 283, an I / O port port 284, a command output port 285 as a command transmission means, a reset clock The main control board 28 is equipped with a pulse generating circuit 286 and a game information output circuit 287. It is connected to various devices (equipment, switches, etc.).

[0036] The main CPU 280 is connected to the main ROM 281 and the main RAM 282. A function of executing various processes according to the programs stored in the main ROM 281. It has.

[0037] The main control board 28 has a first start port (not shown) on the game board 1. The first start port switch 311 is connected. The first start port switch 311 detects the game ball. Once it is released, a lottery will be held to determine the winner.

[0038] The main control board 28 has a second start port (not shown) disposed behind the second start port on the game board 1. The start port switch 312 is connected. The second start port switch 312 detects the game ball. Once it is released, a lottery will be held to determine the winner.

[0039] These first start port switch 311 and second start port switch 312 are When it is detected that a game ball has entered the second starting hole, it is determined that a win has been made and a predetermined detection signal is sent. It is supplied to the main control board 28.

[0040] The main control board 28 includes a passage gate (not shown) disposed behind the passage gate on the game board 1. The gate switch 314 is connected. The passing gate switch 314 detects the game ball. If the ball is released, it is considered that the ball has entered the passing gate and a regular symbol lottery is held. The result of the regular symbol lottery is displayed on the regular symbol display section 5A provided on the game board 1. When a specific symbol is displayed in the normal symbol display section 5A, the normal symbol lottery An effect image that lets the player know that the result is a win is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4. It may be possible to do so.

[0041] The passage gate switch 314 is turned on when it detects that the game ball has passed through the passage gate. As a result, a predetermined detection signal is sent to the main control board 28. Switch 314 triggers the opening of the second trigger port.

[0042] The main control board 28 has a general winning slot (not shown) disposed behind the general winning slot (not shown) on the game board 1. The general winning port switch 310 is connected. When this is detected, the payout device 35 dispenses a preset number of winning balls.

[0043] The main control board 28 is provided with a first large winning slot (not shown) on the game board 1. The first major winning slot count switch 315 is connected. 15 is for counting the number of balls that enter the first big prize slot. When the entrance count switch 315 detects the entry of a game ball, the payout device 35 A predetermined number of game balls are dispensed as prize balls through the payout port 170 or the discharge port 180. is dispensed onto the lower tray 18.

[0044] The main control board 28 is provided with a second large winning slot (not shown) on the game board 1. The second major winning slot count switch 316 is connected. 16 is for counting the number of balls that enter the second major prize slot. When the entrance count switch 316 detects the entry of a game ball, the payout device 35 A set number of game balls are dispensed as prize balls through the payout outlet 170 or the discharge outlet 180. is dispensed onto the lower tray 18.

[0045] These first large prize opening count switch 315 and second large prize opening count switch 31 6 is a main control device that outputs a predetermined detection signal when a game ball passes through the first large winning hole and the second large winning hole. The substrate 28 is supplied with the liquid crystal layer.

[0046] The main control board 28 has a specific area and a non-specific area (not shown) inside the second large winning port. The specific area switch 317A and the non-specific area switch 317B are connected The specific area switch 317A is a switch that turns on when the game ball passes through a specific area in a jackpot game state. When this is detected, it is determined that a V win has occurred and a predetermined detection signal is sent to the main control board 28. The area switch 317B detects that the game ball has passed through a non-specific area in a jackpot game state. If detected, a predetermined detection signal is sent to the main control board 28 as a non-V winning.

[0047] The main control board 28 drives a first large prize opening shutter (not shown) that opens and closes the first large prize opening. The second large prize opening solenoid 315A and the second large prize opening shutter ( The second large winning port solenoid 316A that drives the second large winning port solenoid 316B (not shown) is exclusively controlled. The first large prize opening shutter is in an open state (first mode) in which the game ball can easily enter the first large prize opening. ) and a closed state (second mode) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to win. In the situation where the first large winning opening is at least closed, the second large winning opening shutter , the open state where the game ball can enter the second large winning hole, and the state where the game ball cannot enter or is difficult to enter The first and second large prize opening shutters are driven to change between a closed state and a closed state. The opening drive of the first large prize opening and the second large prize opening by the prize opening shutter is provided on the game board 1. A specific stop display of the special symbol in the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D This is performed when the game state changes to a jackpot state.

[0048] The main control board 28 is a blade member switch that opens and closes the blade member (not shown) provided in the second starting port. This controls the light emitting diode 313. As a result, the normal symbol display section 5A emits light in a predetermined manner. When the normal symbol is displayed, the blade member is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times. This makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting hole.

[0049] For example, in the normal symbol game of this embodiment, a game state other than the time-saving game state (non-confirmed The probability of winning a normal symbol in the variable / non-time-limited play state is 1 / 256, and the blade member opens. On the other hand, the probability of winning a normal symbol in a high probability state (time-saving game state) is , for example, 255 / 256, and when this is won, the blade member, for example, for 1.3 seconds, It is opened three times. Also, the number of normal symbols that become winning symbols in the normal symbol game is one. Therefore, the maximum number of winning counts when the second starting hole is opened is 10 counts (10 balls).

[0050] The main control board 28 is configured to open and close a displacement member (not shown) in a specific area within the second large winning opening. This controls the displacement member solenoid 318 to operate. When a game is being played, the displacement member is in an open state for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times. On the other hand, even in a jackpot game state, the displacement member When the designated area is closed, it becomes impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through, and the non-designated area is This makes it easier for the game ball to pass through.

[0051] The first special symbol reserved display unit 5E is the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D. When the first start switch 311 detects a game ball while the variable display is , the first special symbol being displayed in the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D The first special symbol based on the winning of the game ball into the first starting hole will be displayed until the pattern or the second special symbol is stopped. The number of pending execution (start) of the variable display of another pattern, that is, the number of pending executions related to the first special pattern When the first or second special symbol that was displayed in a variable state is displayed, The display of the changes in the first special pattern that has been reserved as the reserved number for the first special pattern begins.

[0052] The second special symbol reserved display unit 5F is the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D. When the second start switch 312 detects a game ball while the variable display is , the first special symbol being displayed in the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D Until the pattern or the second special pattern is stopped and displayed, the second special pattern based on the winning of the game ball into the second starting hole The number of pending execution (start) of the variable display of another pattern, that is, the number of pending executions related to the second special pattern When the first or second special symbol that was displayed in a variable state is displayed, The display of the changes in the second special pattern that has been reserved as the reserved number for the second special pattern begins.

[0053] Here, in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, the first special symbol and the second special symbol change The priority of display is set so that the second special symbol takes precedence over the first special symbol. However, according to the order of winning into the first starting hole and the second starting hole, the corresponding first special symbol and 2 The special symbols may be displayed in a variable manner in the order of winning.

[0054] In addition, there is an upper limit to the number of reserved special symbol variable display executions. In this embodiment, the main CPU 280 controls the game ball to enter the first start hole and the second start hole. The first start port switch 311 and the second start port switch 312 detect the game ball. The number of reserved variable displays for the first and second special symbols when the In other words, up to four detections are stored, and the fifth and subsequent detections are not stored as reserved numbers. At this time, when the number of reserved tickets decreases due to the end of the special symbol variation display, the reserved tickets will be reserved again. Residues are added up to a maximum of four.

[0055] The number of reserved first special symbol games in the first special symbol display section 5C is, for example, up to four. In this case, the information of the special symbol game corresponding to the first special symbol display section 5C during the change is displayed on the main It is stored as a start memory in the first special pattern start memory area (0) of RAM282, and thereafter, it is reserved The information on the four-number special symbol game is stored in the first special symbol start memory area of ​​the main RAM 282. (1) to (4) are stored sequentially as start-up memories.

[0056] Similarly, for the second special symbol game in the second special symbol display unit 5D, When the number of reserved games is, for example, four, the second special symbol display unit 5D is changed. The information of the corresponding second special symbol game is stored in the second special symbol start memory area ( 0) is stored as a start memory, and after that, the information of the second special pattern game with four reserved numbers is The second special symbol start memory area (1) to (4) of the main RAM 282 is sequentially recorded as a start memory. It is remembered.

[0057] Therefore, the game balls for the special symbol game associated with winning the first and second starting holes The maximum number of reserved items is 8 in total, and the first special symbol reserved display unit 5E and the second special symbol reserved display unit 5F are displayed. The number of pending items displayed on display unit 5F will also be four.

[0058] The opening state of the first major prize opening by the first major prize opening shutter is determined by the first major prize opening count switch. The count value (number of winning game balls) by the chip 315 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 winning balls). or the predetermined release time described below has elapsed. When the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, or when the first winning hole shutter is opened, When the opening time has elapsed, the first large prize opening shutter will drive to close the first large prize opening. Be moved.

[0059] Similarly, the opening state of the second large prize winning port by the second large prize winning port shutter is also counted. When the count value (number of winning balls) by the switch 316 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 winning balls), The condition is either that the product becomes unusable or that the predetermined opening time described below has elapsed. The condition will be maintained until the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, or the second winning slot is opened. If the shutter opening time has elapsed, the second main prize opening shutter will close the second main prize opening. It is driven like this.

[0060] In the jackpot game state, the opening and closing pattern of the big prize opening (winning opening and closing pattern) is set in advance. The first and second big prize winning ports are repeatedly opened and closed. In the skill state, the first and second large prize openings are opened and closed in a large prize opening pattern ( The game in which the machine is opened and closed a predetermined number of times based on the opening and closing pattern is called "Rank A round game is simply a round game. It is also called a "band." When the first or second main prize gate is closed after one round game, After the lock is put into place, the first or second winning slot will be opened for the next round game. The state until the state is reached is called "inter-round game" or "inter-round interval." " or simply "interval." In a round game, the first The prize slot and the second prize slot may be open and closed multiple times. In addition, in one round game, the open / closed states of the first and second main prize gates are exclusive. In other words, in one round game, one of the big prize slots is controlled to play a predetermined number of times. While the opening state is repeated several times, the other big prize opening continues to be closed.

[0061] In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, there are gaming states having a different nature from the jackpot gaming state. The small win game state is different from the big win game state. It is not defined by the concept of a round game, and in the small win game state of this embodiment, The large prize opening is set to be repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times. In the game state, any or a specific big prize slot may be repeatedly selected one or more times. This small win game state is a special symbol lottery game. This is the game state that is entered when a small win is won. After the game ends, the game state basically does not change. For example, if you win a small prize in a non-variable game state, If you win and move to a small win game state, the game state after the end of this small win game state The game remains in a non-probability variable game state before transitioning to a small win game state, and transitions to a probability variable game state. Similarly, if a small win occurs during a probability variation game state, the game will transition to a small win game state. In this case, the game state after the end of this small win game state will be the number of games remaining in the probability game state. As long as the game is in a non-probability game state, the game will remain in the probability game state before the transition to the small win game state. There is no need to do so.

[0062] Round games are counted as rounds (number of times), such as 1 round, 2 rounds, etc. In one round game, the first or second main prize slot will be open a specified number of times. If the upper limit of winnings per round is reached before the state is changed, the first and second winning slots will be The main prize entrance will be closed, and the first and second main prize entrances will be closed for the remaining opening times. The round game is ended without being put into an open state.

[0063] In addition, in a specific round game where the second big prize opening is open during a big win game, The displacement member is controlled based on a preset operation pattern (displacement member operation pattern). As a result, the specific area is opened in a specific round game in the jackpot game state. In other words, in a specific round game, a specific area is set as a play area. While the ball may pass through and enter the V, round games other than the specific round game So, even if the game ball enters the second major winning slot, it is impossible for the game ball to pass through the specific area. In other words, the type of jackpot game state includes a specific round game. There are two types of jackpot gaming states: one that includes a specific round game, and one that does not include a specific round game.

[0064] On the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4, the first special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D are displayed. The special symbol displayed in the display area is related to the special symbol displayed in the display area. For example, the first special symbol display During the variable display of the special symbols displayed in the second special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D, Except in certain cases, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 displays a pattern (decorative pattern) consisting of numbers, for example, Three rows of numbers such as "0", "1", "2", "7" etc. are displayed in a variable manner.

[0065] On the other hand, the first special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D are displayed in a variable manner. When the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the decorative symbol is also stopped and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4. will be done.

[0066] In addition, the first special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D are changed and stopped. When the special symbols are displayed in a specific stopped state, the player knows that it is a "jackpot." A performance image is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

[0067] Specifically, in either the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D, If a special symbol is displayed in a specific display mode corresponding to, for example, a "jackpot," The combination of decorative patterns for the performance displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 is a specific display mode. (For example, a state in which the same symbols are displayed in a line in each of multiple symbol rows. Furthermore, a presentation image for a big win is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

[0068] The main CPU 280 of the main control board 28 controls a predetermined area in the game area 1p. When the game ball passes through the (first starting hole, second starting hole), a special game (jackpot) advantageous to the player will be awarded. The present invention realizes a lottery means capable of drawing a lottery as to whether or not to execute a game state.

[0069] The main ROM 281 performs various processes such as jackpot lottery and pattern lottery, etc. It stores programs to be executed by the 80 and various tables.

[0070] For example, as shown in FIG. 22, the main ROM 281 stores a table There are lottery tables for winning and lottery patterns. The lottery table for winning is a random number It is used when drawing lots.

[0092] Specifically, the lottery table is a lottery for winning the jackpot, winning the 4R regular jackpot, and In the case of winning a 6R regular jackpot, a 4R special jackpot, or a 16R special jackpot, Whether or not to perform each of the following effects is determined by random number lottery (random number range 0 It specifies the lottery value to be determined by lottery (drawing between 100 and 99).

[0093] According to such a performance lottery table, the result of the big win lottery for the air blowing performance is a miss. In this case, a random number between 0 and 99 will be drawn to determine "no effect", and a 4R normal large In the case of a win, if a random number between 0 and 30 is drawn, "no effect" is determined, while if it is between 31 and 9, When a random number of 9 is extracted, "Performance" is determined, and in the case of a 16R normal jackpot, 0 to 95 If a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, "No effect" is determined, while if a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, If you select "Show", it will be determined that there will be a "Show" and in the case of a 4R chance jackpot, a random number between 0 and 50 will be drawn. "No effect" is determined, while "effect" is determined if a random number between 51 and 99 is drawn. In the case of a 16R jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 50 is drawn, "no effect" is determined. On the other hand, if a random number between 51 and 99 is drawn, it is determined that there will be a special effect.

[0094] Regarding the light projection effect, if the jackpot lottery result is a miss, a random number between 0 and 90 will be drawn. If a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, "No effect" is determined, while if a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, "Effect" is determined. In the case of a 4R normal jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 90 is extracted, "no effect" is determined. On the other hand, if a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, it is determined that there is a "performance" and the 16R normal large If you win, a random number between 0 and 99 will be drawn to determine whether there is a "performance" and 4R will be confirmed. In the case of a special jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 90 is extracted, "no effect" is determined, while if 91 If a random number of up to 99 is extracted, "Performance" is determined, and in the case of a 16R probability hit, A random number between 0 and 99 is drawn to determine whether or not there is a special effect.

[0095] Regarding the first operation, if the jackpot lottery result is a miss, a random number between 0 and 95 is extracted. If a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, it means "no effect" is selected, while if a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, it means "effect" is selected. In the case of a 4R normal jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 50 is drawn, "No effect" is determined. On the other hand, if a random number between 51 and 99 is drawn, it is determined that there is a "performance" and the 16R normal In the case of a jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 50 is drawn, "no effect" is determined, while if a random number between 51 and When a random number of 99 is extracted, "Performance" is determined, and in the case of a 4R probability hit, 0 to 85 If a random number between 86 and 99 is drawn, "No effect" is determined, while if a random number between 86 and 99 is drawn, If you select "16R chance hit", a random number between 0 and 95 will be drawn. If a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, it will be "without effect." It is determined.

[0096] Regarding the second operation, if the jackpot lottery result is a miss, a random number between 0 and 99 will be drawn. When it is released, "No effect" is decided, and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, a random number between 0 and 97 is drawn. If a random number between 98 and 99 is drawn, it means "no effect" and if a random number between 98 and 99 is drawn, it means "effect" In the case of a 16R normal jackpot, a random number between 0 and 99 is always drawn, and "No performance" is determined, and in the case of a 4R probability hit, when a random number value between 0 and 90 is extracted, "performance" If a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, "No effect" is determined, and if a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, "Effect" is determined. In the case of a 16R jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 60 is extracted, "no effect" will be determined. On the other hand, if a random number between 61 and 99 is drawn, it is determined that there will be a special effect.

[0097] According to such a performance lottery table, the air blowing performance, the light irradiation performance, the first operation performance, the second operation performance, The combination of these effects, such as the combination of the two, is the key to winning or losing. The probability varies depending on the type. In other words, the probability of a combination of effects occurring varies depending on the combination pattern. This makes it easier to guess the type of jackpot and prize.

[0098] In addition, as is clear from the content of the regulations regarding the operation performance, pressing the second operation unit 9B Rather than the second operation using the pressure button 3000, the operation member 200 of the first operation unit 9A The first operation using 0 appears more frequently. The pressing button 30 used in the second operation performance is more suitable than the operating member 2000 used in the first operation performance. Since the frequency of use of 00 is low, it is not related to the operation effects arranged near the press button 3000. This prevents accidental operation of buttons such as the cross button 3100, which is not related to the camera, and also prevents accidental operation of buttons such as the cross button 3100, which is used frequently. By providing the simple operation member 2000 in an independent operation unit, wiring and circuit boards can be easily designed specifically for the device. It is possible.

As shown in FIGS. 34 to 39, the right decorative unit 14b is a speaker unit. 10A, a main body support member 147A, a main body cover 147B, a front cover 147C, and a light emitting substrate 1 The speaker unit 10A and the light emitting substrate 148 are mounted on the main body support. The light emitting substrate 148 is attached to the rear of the support member 147A, and the light emitting substrate 148 is attached to the front of the speaker unit 10A. The light guide member 149 is attached to the inside of the front side of the main body support member 147A. The front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is made of a mesh. The vibrating surface of the speaker 10b and the light guide member 149 can be seen through the gaps. will be done.

[0127] The speaker unit 10A is configured so that the vibration surface (sound output portion) of the speaker 10b faces forward and is exposed. The light emitting substrate 148 is attached along the periphery of the opening. The light emitting substrate 148 has a plurality of LEs arranged in a ring shape along the periphery of the speaker 10b. D148a is provided.

[0128] The main body support member 147A is provided with a vibration surface of the speaker 10b and a plurality of LEs of the light emitting substrate 148. An opening 147Aa is formed around the periphery of the light guide member 149 by exposing the light guide member 148a. It has been done.

[0129] The light guide member 149 is a cylindrical portion 14 for guiding the sound generated on the vibration surface of the speaker 10b forward. 9a, a rear incident end surface 149b which is a light incident surface on the rear side of the peripheral edge of the cylindrical portion 149a, and the cylindrical portion 149 a light emitting surface 149c, which is located in front of the periphery of the front end surface 149c; The protrusion 149d extends and widens forward from the protrusion 149a.

[0130] The vibration surface of the speaker 10b is disposed at the rear of the cylindrical portion 149a, and the sound generated by the vibration surface is The light is guided forward through the cylindrical portion 149a. The rear incident end surface 149b is disposed opposite the LED 148a. Similar to the rear incident end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the member 15, the rear incident end surface 152a has irregularities along the circumferential direction. As a result, the light incident on the rear incident end surface 149b of the LED 1 The light from 48a travels through the cylindrical portion 149a while diffusing in the circumferential direction.

[0131] The front emission end face 149c is spaced a predetermined distance rearward from the front face 147Ca of the front cover 147C. Similar to the rear incident end face 149b, the front exit end face 149c is also positioned in the circumferential direction. The concave and convex portions are formed in a sawtooth shape. The light that has traveled to 49a appears as a ring when viewed from the front, spreading mainly in the circumferential direction. The light is projected forward.

[0132] The protrusion 149d is formed so that parts of both the left and right sides partially extend forward. , and is disposed so that its tip abuts against the rear side of the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. The protrusion 149d is disposed so as to be close to the rear side of the front surface 147Ca without contacting it. Alternatively, the front emission end face 149c may be disposed behind the front surface 147Ca instead of the protrusion 149d. The casing 10 may be disposed so as to abut against the side of the casing 10 or so as to be adjacent to the casing 10.

[0133] According to the right decorative unit 14b, the sound generated by the speaker 10b can be adjusted. This allows the speaker 10b to appear to glow in a ring shape around it. The front surface 147Ca of the cover 147C is formed in a mesh pattern, so that it is difficult to see from the outside. However, the protrusion 149d of the light guide member 149 abuts against the light guide member 149. Since it is reinforced and supported by the That is, the mesh-like (lattice-like) front cover 147C can be formed along the light guide member 149. The sound from the speaker 10b is guided to the rear surface of the front cover 147C, which spoils the aesthetic appearance. The sound from the speaker 10b can be transmitted to the outside without any hindrance. Since the material 149 functions as a support member for the front cover 147C, the front cover 147 The rigidity of C can be increased.

[0134] According to the gaming machine according to the first embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained. can.

[0135] According to the configuration of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings, sound is output from the speaker 10c. As a result, air flows out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. When the opening / closing member 115 of the structure 110 is in a state in which the space portion 110a is opened, air flows through the opening 10ec. The airflow is directed in a direction directly toward the air outlet 80, and the airflow is directed from the air outlet 80 to the launch handle 2. As a result, the player can easily operate the launch handle 26b. The user feels the wind in his / her hand while holding the device, and the sound from the speaker 10c is also blown out of the air outlet 80 along with the wind. The Helmholtz resonance with the output sound creates a deep bass feeling.

[0136] On the other hand, the opening / closing member 115 of the air blowing mechanism 110 is in a state of closing the space 110a, The airflow from the opening 10ec flows downward at a substantially right angle to the space 110a. When the air is guided in the direction of the vent hole 8ca of the under cover 8c, the air is discharged from the vent hole 8ca of the under cover 8c. This prevents the wind from being directed to the launch handle 26b. You won't feel any wind in your hands when holding it, and only the sound from the speaker 10c will be heard through the vent 8ca. The Helmholtz resonance with the sound output at the same time creates a deep bass feeling.

[0137] That is, the direction of the airflow flowing out from the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 is controlled by the airflow mechanism 11. By simply switching between 0, you can feel the bass and wind, or just the bass. Therefore, it is possible to miniaturize and simplify the speaker unit 10 while providing a sound and wind effect. It can be done flexibly.

[0138] The direction of the airflow coming out of the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 is controlled by the airflow mechanism 110. Simply switch between sound and wind, or just sound. The right lower side cover 8ba and the under cover 8c are provided with an air outlet 80 and a vent 8ca. , and a blower mechanism 110 is arranged between these and the speaker unit 10. Therefore, the speaker unit 10 and its peripheral configuration can be manufactured at low cost and with low design costs. It is possible to provide a system with excellent flexibility and maintainability.

[0139] In addition, the speaker unit 10 is a bass reflex type and has a relatively large enclosure 10e. However, it must not interfere with the hands of the players handling the game balls stored in the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18. Since the speaker unit 10 can be placed in a small space, the placement space of the speaker unit 10 can be secured. At the same time, the speaker device can be laid out efficiently.

[0140] Also, when the upper left part 10ea of ​​the enclosure 10e abuts against the bottom of the upper tray body 17p, The left lower part 10eb also abuts against the lower tray body 18p, so it supports the upper tray 17p and In response to the operation of the speaker 10c, vibrations from the enclosure 10e are transmitted to the upper and lower pans 17 and 18. This vibration effectively eliminates clogging of game balls in the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18. It is possible.

[0141] Furthermore, the first operation using the operating member 2000 is more effective than the second operation using the pressing button 3000. The operation effects are set to occur more frequently, i.e., the more frequently used operations are The operating member 2000 is provided alone in the operation unit 9A, while the pressing button which is used less frequently is 3000 is provided on a common board 3200 that also serves as the ball loan button 23 and the return button 24. The operating member 2000 and the push button 3000 are arranged at positions that are easy to use depending on the frequency of use. This simplifies the wiring to each board, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and space. Cost savings can be achieved.

[0142] In addition, the operating member 2000 that is used frequently is remembered as being circular, while the operating member 2000 that is used less frequently is remembered as being circular. The push button 3000 is easier to remember as it is a square shape, which is different from a circular shape, so it is easier to remember when you use it frequently. The operating member 2000 and the push button 3000 are provided with an easily distinguishable outer shape according to the This makes it possible to use a plurality of operating means more easily. The push button 3000 and the cross-shaped cross button 3100 are arranged in a straight line. The ends of the parts are arranged adjacent to each other so that these multiple parts can be used even in a narrow space. A number of buttons can be placed.

[0143] In addition, there are games that are advantageous to players, such as 16R normal jackpots or 16R probability jackpots. When the conditions for transitioning to this state are met, the light irradiation effect will be executed, and at the same time the air blowing effect will be executed. The player must have visual and physical contact with the hand holding the firing handle 26b, as the shot may be fired. The light irradiation effect or the air blowing effect can be sensed by either the sense of touch or the like. It is possible to sense the transition to an advantageous gaming state without missing such a performance. When the air blowing effect is performed, deep bass sounds are output from the speaker 10c. The performance will also be carried out at the same time, allowing you to feel the vibrations caused by the deep bass.

[0144] In addition, for example, in the right decorative member 15, the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 The rear incident end face 152a of the LED array is cut into a sawtooth shape to guide the light in the longitudinal direction of the LED array. By diffusing the light, the light travels efficiently through the light guide. 151 and the front end surface 152b of the inner light-guiding member 152, the light guided from the rear end surface 152a The diamond-cut lens efficiently scatters light guided into the body outward. Therefore, color unevenness can be eliminated and light can be irradiated efficiently.

[0145] In addition, for example, in the right decorative unit 14b, the mesh-like front surface 1 of the front cover 147C The protrusion 149d of the light guide member 149 is disposed so as to abut against the rear surface of the light guide member 47Ca. The surface 149c is spaced a predetermined distance from the front surface 147Ca, and does not block the vibration surface of the speaker 10b. Since the LEDs are arranged in a ring shape along the periphery of the LEDs, the LEDs positioned on the rear incident end face 149b side 148a can be hidden from view from the front of the front cover 147C without spoiling the appearance. The sound from the speaker 10b can be emitted to the outside without any hindrance.

[0146] In addition, for example, in the central decorative unit 14a, the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c The front emission end faces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb are light-shielding members through which the LED 144b is exposed. The front cover 145 is located farther from the light emitting substrate 144 than the peripheral edge of the opening 145c of the front cover 145. 41, the light is diffused at the periphery of the opening 145c and reflected forward. The light from the LED 144b is guided through the light guide members 146a to 146c and exits at the front end. The light from the LED 144a irradiated from the surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb is The light becomes diffused and the light becomes linear, creating a clear difference in the visibility of these lights. This allows for the realization of innovative lighting effects.

[0147] As a modified example of the blower mechanism 110, one as shown in FIG. 40 may be applied. In the air blowing mechanism 110 shown in FIG. 40, the lower part of the space 110a and the opening 110b are exclusively As shown in FIG. 40(a), a shutter member 117 is provided which can be opened and closed and rotated. The shutter member 117 guides the airflow from the opening 10ec (not shown) to the opening 110b. At this time, the airflow is completely guided downward into the space 110a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 40(b), the shutter member 117 is closed by the opening 1 (not shown). In the case where the airflow from Oec is guided downward into the space 110a, the horizontal direction shown in FIG. At this time, the space 110a is positioned to the side of the space 110a. The wind flow that tries to go straight is obstructed, and it bends at a substantially right angle downward into the space 110a. According to the above-described blower mechanism 110, the wind is guided to the air outlet 80 (not shown). In this case, the air is blown to the air outlet 80 with sufficient air pressure without leaking downward into the space 110a. can be derived.

FIG. 133 is an internal plan view for explaining the operation of the blower mechanism 110. 13 is a left side view for explaining the operation of the blower mechanism 110; FIG. 13 is an internal plan view for explaining the operation of the blower mechanism 110; 5 is a left side view for explaining the operation of the blower mechanism 110.

[0306] As shown in FIG. 130, the blower mechanism 110 of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The components different from the blower mechanism 110 are a first link member 120 and a second link member 12 1, the variable flap 130. In addition, the cover members 110A and 110B have a wind guide. Elliptical openings 110c and 110b are formed for this purpose.

[0307] As shown in FIGS. 130 and 134, the cover member 110A has the above-mentioned enclosure. An opening 110c is formed in a direction directly facing from the opening 10ec (see FIG. 16) of the body 10e. The opening 110c has a space 110a formed therein. In the space 110, the variable flap 130 can be moved between an inclined position and a horizontal position. The lower part of a is always open regardless of the tilted or horizontal position of the variable flap 130. The above-mentioned ventilation hole 8ca is located there (see FIG. 16). As shown in FIG. 10B, in the direction straight from the opening 110c of the cover member 110A to the left and right, An opening 110b is formed.

[0308] As shown in Figures 132 and 134, the solenoid 111 is linked to the on / off operation. The plunger 111a is retractable and protruding, and the tip of the plunger 111a is connected to the first ring. The first link member 120 is connected to the base end portion 120a of the intermediate portion 12. The tip of the first link member 120 is pivotally supported by the cover member 110A. 120c is connected to the base end portion 121a of the second link member 121. 121 has an elongated hole-shaped opening 121b, and the rear surface of the cover member 110A is inserted into this opening 121b. The pin 110d projecting from the first hole 110 is arranged so as to be relatively movable. The second link member 121 is supported via a pin 110d so as to be movable up and down. The tip 121c of the variable flap 121 allows one end of the variable flap 130 to move left and right. As shown in FIG. 132, the plunger 111a of the solenoid 111 is connected to the end of the plunger 111a. When the first link member 120 is in the downward protruding state, the second link member 121 is in the relative position via the first link member 120. As a result, the variable flap 130 is in a position where the upper end is lifted (inclined). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 134, the plunger 111a of the solenoid 111 When the first link member 120 is in the retracted state, the second link member 121 moves relatively The upper end of the variable flap 130 is pulled down (horizontal position) )

[0309] As shown in FIG. 130, the variable flap 130 has a lower end that rotates in the space 110a. The shaft 131 is rotatably supported, and the upper end is normally closer to the opening 11 than the lower end. The tilted posture is maintained so as to approach 0c (the posture shown by the solid line in Figure 130). As described above, when the plunger 111a of the solenoid 111 is in the retracted state, the variable valve The cup 130 is in a horizontal position so as to close the lower part of the space 110a (in FIG. 130, As shown in FIG. 131, the opening in the inner part of the cover member 110B is A resilient buffer member 132 is attached near the upper edge of the portion 110b. When the flap 130 is in the tilted position, the wind blows the variable flap 130 toward the buffer member 132. The upper end portion of the variable flap 130 is pressed tightly against the buffer member 132. This prevents wind from leaking through the gap between the opening 110b and the variable flap 130. On the right side of the opening 110b, the above-mentioned FIG. 13, FIG. 15, FIG. An air outlet 80 as shown at 16 is located.

[0310] When the variable flap 130 is in the tilted position, the wind blown out from the opening 10ec (see FIG. 16) is blocked by the variable flap 130 and enters the space 110 without passing through the opening 110b. The air that is guided downward into the space 110a is The air is sent to the outside through the ventilation hole 8ca (see FIG. 16) of the dark cover 8c. When the flap 130 is in a horizontal position, the wind blown out from the opening 10ec (see FIG. 16) The air flows almost straight without being obstructed by the variable flap 130, passes through the space 110a, and reaches the opening The wind that passes through the opening 110b passes straight through the lower right side. The air is blown out to the outside through the air outlet 80 of the cover 8ba (see FIGS. 15 and 16). The launch handle 26b of the launcher 26 is disposed at a position substantially directly opposite to the 80. The air coming out of the air outlet 80 hits the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. As shown in the figure, under normal circumstances, the air is guided downward without leaking toward the launch handle 26b. On the other hand, when wind is directed toward the launch handle 26b in response to the sound effects, etc., the air is blown from the opening 10ec. The air flow path leading to the gap 110a, the openings 110c and 110b, and the air outlet 80 is generally Since it is formed immediately, the wind pressure is weakened as much as possible to the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. This allows the wind to reach the area without any obstructions.

[0311] According to the above-described blower mechanism 110, the air flows through the airflow mechanism 110 as the sound is output from the speaker 10c. The airflow flowing out from the opening 10ec of the closure 10e causes the variable flap 130 to move to the horizontal position. The variable flap is guided linearly by the When the inclined position of 130 bends and guides downward, it is guided toward the launch handle 26b. Therefore, the blower mechanism 110 can be made smaller without causing any resistance to the launch handle 26b. It is possible to guide the airflow with a sufficient volume without resistance, and the speaker unit 10 can be made smaller and It is possible to simplify the system.

[0312] In addition, even when the variable flap 130 is in the tilted position, the upper end of the variable flap 130 and The buffer member 132 can prevent air from leaking between the opposing contact surfaces. Therefore, the airflow is guided toward the firing handle 26b with a sufficient volume without resistance, When directing the airflow downward, it is possible to prevent the air from leaking toward the launch handle 26b. Cut.
