Then, between the rear side portion 16T1 of the second discharge guide portion 16T and the rear side regulation wall 16R, there is a roll allowance portion 16K2 that allows the game ball to roll in the lateral direction.

1対の湾曲部16C同士の接続部分は、それら湾曲部16Cの途中部分より僅かに高くなっている。また、1対の湾曲部16C同士の接続部分には、前側規制壁16Fを切り欠いて第1排出口16Xが形成されると共に、その後方に縦溝16Vが形成されている。第1排出口16Xは、遊技球が1度に1球通過可能な程度の開口幅をなしている。縦溝16Vは、転動ステージ16の前端から後端に亘って延びるV溝構造をなし、後方に向かって徐々に溝狭になりかつ浅くなって内面が前下がりに傾斜している。 The connecting portion between the pair of curved portions 16C is slightly higher than the intermediate portion of the curved portions 16C. Further, at the connecting portion between the pair of curved portions 16C, the front regulation wall 16F is cut out to form the first discharge port 16X, and the vertical groove 16V is formed behind the first discharge port 16X. The first discharge port 16X has an opening width that allows a game ball to pass through one ball at a time. The vertical groove 16V has a V-groove structure extending from the front end to the rear end of the rolling stage 16, and the groove gradually becomes narrower and shallower toward the rear, and the inner surface is inclined downward.

縦溝16Vには、その前後方向の途中位置を横切るように横断リブ16Pが設けられている。横断リブ16Pは、例えば、転動ステージ16の前後方向の中央より後方でかつ後側規制壁16Rから遊技球の半径より僅かに前方に離れた位置に配置されている。また、横断リブ16Pの上面は、縦溝16Vの上端に位置している。そして、横断リブ16Pより後方が、遊技球の横方向への転動を許容された転動許容部16K1をなし、縦溝16Vのうち横断リブ16Pより前側部分が、遊技球を第1排出口16Xに案内する第1排出ガイド部16Sになっている。また、第1排出口16Xは、次述する第1特図始動入賞口17Aの真上に位置し、第1排出口16Xから遊技球が排出されることで第1特図始動入賞口17Aに入賞し易くなる。 The vertical groove 16V is provided with a transverse rib 16P so as to cross an intermediate position in the front-rear direction thereof. The transverse rib 16P is arranged, for example, at a position behind the center of the rolling stage 16 in the front-rear direction and slightly forward from the radius of the game ball from the rear regulation wall 16R. Further, the upper surface of the transverse rib 16P is located at the upper end of the vertical groove 16V. Then, the rear part of the transverse rib 16P forms a rolling allowance portion 16K1 that allows the game ball to roll in the lateral direction, and the portion of the vertical groove 16V on the front side of the transverse rib 16P discharges the game ball to the first discharge port. It is the first discharge guide unit 16S that guides the 16X. Further, the first discharge port 16X is located directly above the first special figure start winning opening 17A described below, and when the game ball is discharged from the first discharge port 16X, it becomes the first special drawing start winning opening 17A. It will be easier to win a prize.

図5に示すように、遊技領域R1のうち演出窓13より下側の下方領域には、略中央に第1特図始動入賞口17Aと第2特図始動入賞口17Bとが設けられ、右側部に第1普図始動入賞口17Cと大入賞口22とが設けられ、図2に示すように、左側部に複数の普通入賞口18が設けられている。また、図5に示すように、大入賞口22と第2特図始動入賞口17Bの間には普通入賞口18と第2普図始動入賞口17Dとが設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the lower region of the game area R1 below the effect window 13, the first special figure start winning opening 17A and the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B are provided in the substantially center, and the right side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, between the large winning opening 22 and the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B, a normal winning opening 18 and a second general drawing starting winning opening 17D are provided.

また、遊技領域R1全体には、図示しない複数の障害釘が打ち込まれている。そして、遊技領域R1を流下する遊技球が各入賞口に遊技球が入賞すると、その入賞数に応じた賞球が遊技機10の前面の上皿10D(図1参照)に払い出される。その際の入賞球1球当りの賞球数は、大入賞口22が、他の入賞口より多くなっている。また、何れの入賞口にも入賞しなかった遊技球は、アウト口11Xに取り込まれる。 Further, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are driven into the entire game area R1. Then, when the game ball flowing down the game area R1 wins a prize in each winning opening, the prize balls corresponding to the number of winnings are paid out to the upper plate 10D (see FIG. 1) on the front surface of the game machine 10. At that time, the number of prize balls per winning ball is larger in the large winning opening 22 than in the other winning openings. In addition, the game ball that does not win in any of the winning openings is taken into the out opening 11X.

図10に示すように、第1特図始動入賞口17Aは、遊技板11の前面から突出する入賞役物突部17Sの上面に開口した所謂ポケット構造をなしかつ、遊技球が1つずつ入賞する大きさをなしている。 As shown in FIG. 10, the first special figure start winning opening 17A has a so-called pocket structure opened on the upper surface of the winning accessory protrusion 17S protruding from the front surface of the game plate 11, and the game balls win one by one. It is the size to do.

図5に示すように、第1特図始動入賞口17Aに対して遊技球の1〜3つ分程度離れた斜め左下には第2特図始動入賞口17Bが配置される一方、第1特図始動入賞口17Aに対して遊技球の1〜3つ分程度離れた斜め右下には球受突部19Dが配置されている。また、遊技領域R1の最下部でもある第1特図始動入賞口17Aの真下には、アウト口11Xが開口している。 As shown in FIG. 5, the second special figure start winning opening 17B is arranged at the lower left diagonally about 1 to 3 distances from the first special drawing starting winning opening 17A, while the first special figure starting winning opening 17B is arranged. Fig. The ball receiving portion 19D is arranged at the lower right diagonally about 1 to 3 of the game balls with respect to the starting winning opening 17A. Further, an out opening 11X is opened directly below the first special drawing start winning opening 17A, which is also the lowermost part of the game area R1.

第2特図始動入賞口17Bは、遊技板11の前面から突出する入賞役物突部17Tの側面に開口して、水平方向に対して僅かに斜め右上を向きかつ、遊技球が1つずつ入賞する大きさをなしている。また、図2に示すように、第2特図始動入賞口17Bの入賞役物突部17Tは、レール部材12に隣接していて、その入賞役物突部の左横にもアウト口11Xが開口している。 The second special figure start winning opening 17B opens on the side surface of the winning accessory protrusion 17T protruding from the front surface of the game plate 11, faces slightly diagonally to the upper right with respect to the horizontal direction, and one game ball at a time. It is large enough to win a prize. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the winning accessory protrusion 17T of the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B is adjacent to the rail member 12, and the out opening 11X is also on the left side of the winning accessory protrusion. It is open.

球受突部19Dの上面は、左下がりに傾斜した傾斜ガイド面19D1になっている。また、図5に示すように、第2特図始動入賞口17Bの下縁部と傾斜ガイド面19D1の下縁部との間には、可動部材19Aが前後に移動可能に備えられている。可動部材19Aは、連絡部材19Bと入賞規制突部19Cとを有する。連絡部材19Bは、左下がりに傾斜した上面を有する板状をなし、入賞規制突部19Cは、連絡部材19Bの左端の前端部から上方に起立している。 The upper surface of the ball receiving portion 19D is an inclined guide surface 19D1 inclined downward to the left. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a movable member 19A is provided so as to be movable back and forth between the lower edge portion of the second special drawing start winning opening 17B and the lower edge portion of the inclined guide surface 19D1. The movable member 19A has a communication member 19B and a winning regulation protrusion 19C. The communication member 19B has a plate shape having an upper surface inclined downward to the left, and the winning regulation protrusion 19C stands upward from the front end portion of the left end of the communication member 19B.

そして、可動部材19Aが前端位置に配置されたときに、連絡部材19Bが第2特図始動入賞口17Bの下縁部と傾斜ガイド面19D1の下縁部との間を連絡し、傾斜ガイド面19D1を転動してきた遊技球を第2特図始動入賞口17Bへと案内する。このとき、入賞規制突部19Cは、第2特図始動入賞口17Bより前方にずれた位置に配置されて遊技球の第2特図始動入賞口17Bへの入賞の妨げにならない。一方、可動部材19Aが後端位置に配置されたときには、連絡部材19Bが、遊技板11の前面より後方に待避し、遊技球がアウト口11Xに向かうことを許容する。このとき、入賞規制突部19Cは、第2特図始動入賞口17Bと重なり、遊技球の第2特図始動入賞口17Bへの入賞を規制する。 Then, when the movable member 19A is arranged at the front end position, the connecting member 19B communicates between the lower edge portion of the second special drawing start winning opening 17B and the lower edge portion of the inclined guide surface 19D1, and the inclined guide surface. The game ball that has rolled 19D1 is guided to the second special figure start winning opening 17B. At this time, the winning regulation protrusion 19C is arranged at a position shifted forward from the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B and does not hinder the winning of the game ball into the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B. On the other hand, when the movable member 19A is arranged at the rear end position, the connecting member 19B retracts behind the front surface of the game plate 11 and allows the game ball to move toward the out port 11X. At this time, the winning regulation protrusion 19C overlaps with the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B, and regulates the winning of the game ball to the second special drawing starting winning opening 17B.

可動部材19Aは、通常は、後端位置(つまり、入賞を規制する位置)に配置されている。そして、可動部材19Aは、第1又は第2の普図始動入賞口17C,17Dへの入賞に起因して行われる当否判定(以下、これを「普図判定」という)で当りになったときに作動して、一定期間に亘って前端位置に配置されてから後端位置に戻る。具体的には、普図判定が行われると、後側液晶画面41G(図12参照)に、普通図柄と呼ばれる2種類の図柄(例えば、「任意の奇数」と「任意の偶数」の図柄)が、一定期間に亘って交互に切り替わるように変動表示されてから停止され、その停止図柄が、当りの図柄か外れの図柄かによって判定報知を行う。そして、普図判定の結果が当りであった場合に、一定期間に亘って可動部材19Aが前端位置に配置されてから後端位置に戻る。 The movable member 19A is usually arranged at the rear end position (that is, a position that restricts winning). Then, when the movable member 19A is hit by a hit / fail judgment (hereinafter, this is referred to as "normal figure judgment") performed due to winning a prize in the first or second normal drawing start winning opening 17C, 17D. After being placed in the front end position for a certain period of time, it returns to the rear end position. Specifically, when the normal symbol determination is performed, two types of symbols called ordinary symbols (for example, "arbitrary odd number" and "arbitrary even number" symbols) are displayed on the rear LCD screen 41G (see FIG. 12). However, it is stopped after being displayed in a variable manner so as to be switched alternately over a certain period of time, and a determination notification is performed depending on whether the stopped symbol is a hit symbol or a miss symbol. Then, when the result of the normal drawing determination is a hit, the movable member 19A is arranged at the front end position for a certain period of time and then returns to the rear end position.

図6に示すように、第1普図始動入賞口17Cは、大入賞口22と共に入賞役物部品23に備えられている。また、大入賞口22は、扉部材22Tによって通常は入賞を規制されている。入賞役物部品23の構造ついては、後に詳説する。 As shown in FIG. 6, the first general drawing start winning opening 17C is provided in the winning accessory component 23 together with the large winning opening 22. Further, the large winning opening 22 is usually regulated by the door member 22T. The structure of the prize-winning accessory component 23 will be described in detail later.

大入賞口22は、第1〜第3の何れかの始動入賞口17A,17Bへの遊技球の入賞に起因して行われる当否判定(以下、これを「特図判定」という)で当りになったときに作動して、一定期間に亘って開く。より具体的には、特図判定の判定結果は、後側液晶画面41G(図12参照)に表示される図示しない3つの特別図柄の図柄組み合わせによって報知される。そして、特図判定で当りになると、扉部材22Tが作動して、所定複数回に亘り大入賞口22が開く遊技(これを「大当り遊技」という)が実行される。 The large winning opening 22 is hit by a hit / fail judgment (hereinafter, this is referred to as "special figure judgment") performed due to the winning of the game ball into any of the first to third starting winning openings 17A and 17B. It operates when it becomes, and opens for a certain period of time. More specifically, the determination result of the special symbol determination is notified by a symbol combination of three special symbols (not shown) displayed on the rear liquid crystal screen 41G (see FIG. 12). Then, when a hit is made in the special figure determination, the door member 22T is activated, and a game in which the big winning opening 22 is opened a predetermined number of times (this is called a "big hit game") is executed.

なお、「特図判定」の当りには、「確率時短付き当り」と、「通常当り」とがあり、「確率時短付き当り」になると、大当り遊技の後から所定の終了条件が成立するまでの間に亘り、「確変状態」及び「時短状態」が維持される。その「確変状態」では、「特図判定」で当りになる確率が高くなる。また「時短状態」では、前述の普図判定の判定報知を行う際に、図柄の変動時間が通常時より短くなり、かつ、普図判定で当りになったときに可動部材19Aが前端位置に留まる時間が通常時により長くなる。 In addition, there are "probability time reduction hit" and "normal hit" in the hit of "special figure judgment", and when it becomes "probability time reduction hit", after the big hit game until the predetermined end condition is satisfied. In the meantime, the "probability change state" and the "time saving state" are maintained. In that "probability change state", the probability of winning in the "special figure judgment" increases. Further, in the "time saving state", when the above-mentioned judgment notification of the normal drawing judgment is performed, the fluctuation time of the symbol is shorter than the normal time, and the movable member 19A is set to the front end position when the normal drawing judgment is successful. The time to stay is longer than usual.

以下、入賞役物部品23の構造について詳説する。図6に示すように、入賞役物部品23は、遊技板11の前面に重ねられる前面取付壁23Aの前側に、下側突部24と上側突部25とを有する。下側突部24は、横方向に延び、その上面は左下がりに僅かに傾斜して横方向に延びる転動路24Rをなし、その転動路24Rの上流側部分に対して、遊技球1球以上、2球未満、離れた上方に上側突部25が配置されている。 Hereinafter, the structure of the prize-winning accessory component 23 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 6, the winning accessory component 23 has a lower protrusion 24 and an upper protrusion 25 on the front side of the front mounting wall 23A stacked on the front surface of the game plate 11. The lower protrusion 24 extends laterally, and its upper surface forms a rolling path 24R extending laterally with a slight downward inclination to the left, and the game ball 1 with respect to the upstream portion of the rolling path 24R. The upper protrusion 25 is arranged above the ball, less than two balls, and away from each other.

図9に示すように、下側突部24の下面は、湾曲してレール部材12の右下部に重ねられ、転動路24Rの右端部はレール部材12に突き合わされている。また、上側突部25は、遊技球が1つずつ通過可能な流路R4を挟んでレール部材12に対峙している。そして、レール部材12に沿って入賞役物部品23の上方から流下してくる遊技球が流路R4を通過して転動路24Rの右端部に受け止められて、その転動路24R上を転動する。 As shown in FIG. 9, the lower surface of the lower protrusion 24 is curved and overlapped with the lower right portion of the rail member 12, and the right end portion of the rolling path 24R is abutted against the rail member 12. Further, the upper protrusion 25 faces the rail member 12 with a flow path R4 through which the game balls can pass one by one. Then, the game ball flowing down from above the winning accessory component 23 along the rail member 12 passes through the flow path R4, is received by the right end portion of the rolling path 24R, and rolls on the rolling path 24R. Move.

転動路24Rのうち上側突部25より下流側の途中部分には、大入賞口22が形成され、その大入賞口22を閉塞する前述の扉部材22Tの上面によって転動路24Rの一部が形成されている。詳細には、転動路24Rは、右側から順番に、誘導部24A,第1転動斜面24B,中継斜面24C,第2転動斜面24D,第3転動斜面24Eを有する。 A large winning opening 22 is formed in the middle part of the rolling path 24R on the downstream side of the upper protrusion 25, and a part of the rolling path 24R is formed by the upper surface of the door member 22T that closes the large winning opening 22. Is formed. Specifically, the rolling path 24R has an induction portion 24A, a first rolling slope 24B, a relay slope 24C, a second rolling slope 24D, and a third rolling slope 24E in order from the right side.

誘導部24Aは、流路R4の真下に位置し、右上がりに傾斜している。第1転動斜面24Bは、上側突部25の真下位置の全体に亘って横方向に延び、緩やかに傾斜している。中継斜面24Cは、第1転動斜面24Bの終端部を僅かに勾配が急になるように屈曲させてなり、上側突部25の真下位置より僅かに左側にずれている。 The guide portion 24A is located directly below the flow path R4 and is inclined upward to the right. The first rolling slope 24B extends laterally over the entire position directly below the upper protrusion 25 and is gently inclined. The relay slope 24C is formed by bending the end portion of the first rolling slope 24B so that the slope becomes slightly steep, and is slightly shifted to the left side from the position directly below the upper protrusion 25.

第2転動斜面24Dは、扉部材22Tの上面によって形成されている。扉部材22Tは、平板状をなして、前面取付壁23Aに形成されるスリット23Sから突出して前端位置と後端位置との間を前後に移動する。そして、扉部材22Tは、通常は、前端位置に配置されてその上面によって前述の如く第2転動斜面24Dが形成され、大当り遊技が実行されると後端位置に移動し、第2転動斜面24Dが消失して大入賞口22が開口する。その第2転動斜面24Dの右端部は、中継斜面24Cより段付き状僅かに下方にずれた位置に配置されて、そこから第2転動斜面24Dの左端部に向かって第1転動斜面24Bと略同じ勾配で左下がりに傾斜している。 The second rolling slope 24D is formed by the upper surface of the door member 22T. The door member 22T has a flat plate shape, projects from the slit 23S formed in the front mounting wall 23A, and moves back and forth between the front end position and the rear end position. Then, the door member 22T is usually arranged at the front end position, the second rolling slope 24D is formed by the upper surface thereof as described above, and when the jackpot game is executed, the door member 22T moves to the rear end position and the second rolling. The slope 24D disappears and the large winning opening 22 opens. The right end of the second rolling slope 24D is arranged at a position slightly shifted downward from the relay slope 24C in a stepped manner, and from there, the first rolling slope toward the left end of the second rolling slope 24D. It has almost the same slope as 24B and slopes downward to the left.

第3転動斜面24Eは、大入賞口22を挟んで中継斜面24Cの対岸に位置し、第1及び第2の転動斜面24B,24Dと略同じ勾配で左下がりに傾斜している。また、第3転動斜面24Eの上流側端部(右側端部)は、第2転動斜面24Dの下流側端部(左側端部)に対し、上下方向では、遊技球、半球以上、1球未満、下方に離間し、水平方向では、遊技球、半球以上、1球未満、左側に離間している。 The third rolling slope 24E is located on the opposite bank of the relay slope 24C with the large winning opening 22 in between, and is inclined downward to the left with substantially the same slope as the first and second rolling slopes 24B and 24D. Further, the upstream end (right end) of the third rolling slope 24E is a game ball, a hemisphere or more, 1 in the vertical direction with respect to the downstream end (left end) of the second rolling slope 24D. Less than a ball, separated downward, and in the horizontal direction, a game ball, more than a hemisphere, less than one ball, separated to the left.

図6に示すように、上側突部25は、横並びに備えられた第1と第2のポケット部25A,25Bからなる。第1と第2のポケット部25A,25Bは、上面が開口したポケット構造をなし、それらの上面開口は、遊技球が1つずつ入賞可能な開口幅をなしている。また、右側の第1ポケット部25Aの上面開口は、前述の第1普図始動入賞口17Cになっていて、そこに入賞した遊技球は、遊技板11の後方に取り込まれる。また、第1普図始動入賞口17Cに入賞した遊技球の通路を確保するために、前面取付壁23Aのうち第1ポケット部25Aと転動路24Rとの間には、膨出部23Cが備えられている。膨出部23Cは、断面半円形をなして上下方向に延びている。そして、図8に示すように、前面取付壁23Aより後方で上下方向に延びる溝部材23Jと膨出部23Cとから流下樋23Tが形成されて、その内部を第1普図始動入賞口17Cに入賞した遊技球が流下するようになっている。なお、膨出部23Cを備えて流下樋23Tを前方にずらすことで、後述するL形ユニット42(図11参照)と流下樋23Tとの干渉が回避される。 As shown in FIG. 6, the upper protrusion 25 includes first and second pocket portions 25A and 25B provided side by side. The first and second pocket portions 25A and 25B have a pocket structure in which the upper surface is open, and the upper surface openings have an opening width in which a game ball can win one by one. Further, the upper opening of the first pocket portion 25A on the right side is the above-mentioned first normal drawing start winning opening 17C, and the winning game ball is taken in behind the game board 11. Further, in order to secure a passage for the game ball that has won the first normal drawing start winning opening 17C, a bulging portion 23C is provided between the first pocket portion 25A and the rolling path 24R of the front mounting wall 23A. It is equipped. The bulging portion 23C has a semicircular cross section and extends in the vertical direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, a downspout gutter 23T is formed from the groove member 23J extending in the vertical direction behind the front mounting wall 23A and the bulging portion 23C, and the inside thereof becomes the first general drawing start winning opening 17C. The winning game balls are flowing down. By providing the bulging portion 23C and shifting the downspout gutter 23T forward, interference between the L-shaped unit 42 (see FIG. 11) described later and the downspout gutter 23T can be avoided.

図7に示すように、第2ポケット部25Bの上面開口は、後方流路26の進入口26Aをなし、そこに入球した遊技球は、第2ポケット部25Bと転動路24Rとの間で前面取付壁23Aに開口する排出口26Bから転動路24R上に排出される。そのために、前面取付壁23Aの後方には、上下に延びる溝部材23Mが備えられて第2ポケット部25Bの後部と排出口26Bとの間を連絡している。 As shown in FIG. 7, the upper surface opening of the second pocket portion 25B forms the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26, and the game ball entering there is between the second pocket portion 25B and the rolling path 24R. It is discharged onto the rolling path 24R from the discharge port 26B that opens in the front mounting wall 23A. Therefore, a groove member 23M extending vertically is provided behind the front mounting wall 23A to connect the rear portion of the second pocket portion 25B and the discharge port 26B.

図7及び図8に示すように、第1と第2のポケット部25A,25Bの内部には、遊技球を後方に案内する三角形のガイドリブ25G1,25G2が形成されている。図8に示された第1ポケット部25Aのガイドリブ25G1は、第1ポケット部25Aの底面の前端から後端寄りに亘って形成される一方、図7に示された第2ポケット部25Bのガイドリブ25G2は、第1ポケット部25Aの底面の前端部のみに形成されて、入球した遊技球を第2ポケット部25Bの底面で受け止めて後方に緩やかに案内する。 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, triangular guide ribs 25G1, 25G2 for guiding the game ball rearward are formed inside the first and second pocket portions 25A and 25B. The guide rib 25G1 of the first pocket portion 25A shown in FIG. 8 is formed from the front end to the rear end of the bottom surface of the first pocket portion 25A, while the guide rib 25B of the second pocket portion 25B shown in FIG. 7 is formed. The 25G2 is formed only at the front end portion of the bottom surface of the first pocket portion 25A, and receives the entered game ball at the bottom surface of the second pocket portion 25B and gently guides it rearward.

図6に示すように、後方流路26の進入口26Aの上面後縁部からは、遊技板11の前面に重ねられる後側突壁23Sが突出している。図9に示すように、後側突壁23Sは、第1ポケット部25A側に斜辺を有し、その反対側に鉛直辺を有する台形状をなしている。また、後側突壁23Sの外縁部のうち上辺と斜辺とには、遊技板11の前面に対して傾斜した斜面23Tが形成されている。また、図6に示すように、排出口26Bの上面前縁部における横方向の中央からは、前側突壁23Uが上方に突出し、その前側突壁23Uの後面は、遊技球を後方に案内する斜面23Vになっている。 As shown in FIG. 6, a rear protruding wall 23S that is overlapped with the front surface of the game plate 11 projects from the upper rear edge portion of the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26. As shown in FIG. 9, the rear protruding wall 23S has a trapezoidal shape having a hypotenuse on the first pocket portion 25A side and a vertical side on the opposite side. Further, on the upper side and the hypotenuse of the outer edge portion of the rear protruding wall 23S, a slope 23T inclined with respect to the front surface of the game plate 11 is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the front protrusion wall 23U projects upward from the lateral center of the upper surface front edge portion of the discharge port 26B, and the rear surface of the front protrusion wall 23U guides the game ball rearward. The slope is 23V.

第1ポケット部25Aの右側外側面には、前後方向に延びる突条25Cが形成されると共に、前述の膨出部23Cの左右方向の中心部には、上下方向に延びる突条23Dが形成されている。また、転動路24Rの前縁部からは、起立壁23B1が起立している。起立壁23B1は、下側突部24の前面壁23Bから上方に延長されてなり、後方流路26の排出口26Bより僅かに左寄り位置から、扉部材22Tの下流側端部より僅かに右寄り位置までの間に配置されている。また、前面取付壁23Aと起立壁23B1には、第2転動斜面24Dの上流端部を狭めるように突部23R,23Fとが形成されている。さらに、大入賞口22の内部には、扉部材22Tの下方に、扉部材22Tと略平行な内部転動路が備えられ、その内部転動路上の遊技球を視認するための横長のスリット23B2が下側突部24の前面壁23Bに形成されている。 A ridge 25C extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the right outer surface of the first pocket portion 25A, and a ridge 23D extending in the vertical direction is formed at the center of the bulging portion 23C in the left-right direction. ing. Further, an upright wall 23B1 stands up from the front edge of the rolling path 24R. The upright wall 23B1 extends upward from the front wall 23B of the lower protrusion 24, and is located slightly to the left of the discharge port 26B of the rear flow path 26 and slightly to the right of the downstream end of the door member 22T. It is placed between. Further, the front mounting wall 23A and the upright wall 23B1 are formed with protrusions 23R and 23F so as to narrow the upstream end portion of the second rolling slope 24D. Further, inside the large winning opening 22, an internal rolling path substantially parallel to the door member 22T is provided below the door member 22T, and a horizontally long slit 23B2 for visually recognizing a game ball on the internal rolling path. Is formed on the front wall 23B of the lower protrusion 24.

図5に示すように、大入賞口22の上方には、装飾枠15の環状突部15Kが配置されている。環状突部15Kは、遊技板11の前面から突出しかつ閉じた環状のリブ構造をなしている。そして、環状突部15Kの右辺部分により、演出窓13の右側の右辺通路R2を通過した遊技球が、後方流路26か流路R4か第1普図始動入賞口17C以外を向かわないように規制している。また、環状突部15Kの右辺部分には、後側突壁23Sの上辺部を上方から覆う突部15Vが備えられ、その突部15Vと上側部分が傾斜部15Wをなし、その傾斜部の延長線上に後側突壁23Sの斜辺が位置している。また、前述した右辺通路R2の下端開口は、後側突壁23Sの斜辺の真上に位置している。なお、図4に示すように、環状突部15K内には、遊技板11の前面と平行でそれより僅かに先方にずれた奥壁15Lが備えられている。 As shown in FIG. 5, an annular protrusion 15K of the decorative frame 15 is arranged above the large winning opening 22. The annular protrusion 15K has an annular rib structure that protrudes and closes from the front surface of the game plate 11. Then, by the right side portion of the annular protrusion 15K, the game ball that has passed through the right side passage R2 on the right side of the effect window 13 does not face other than the rear flow path 26, the flow path R4, or the first general drawing start winning opening 17C. It regulates. Further, the right side portion of the annular protrusion 15K is provided with a protrusion 15V that covers the upper side of the rear protrusion wall 23S from above, and the protrusion 15V and the upper portion form an inclined portion 15W, which is an extension of the inclined portion. The hypotenuse of the rear protrusion wall 23S is located on the line. Further, the lower end opening of the right side passage R2 described above is located directly above the hypotenuse of the rear protrusion wall 23S. As shown in FIG. 4, the annular protrusion 15K is provided with a back wall 15L that is parallel to the front surface of the game plate 11 and slightly displaced forward.

ところで、本実施形態では、図9に示すように、第3転動斜面24Eの右側端部と中継斜面24Cの左側端部は、大入賞口22の左右の開口縁をなし、扉部材22Tが後方に移動すると、大入賞口22が左斜め上に向かって開口した状態になる。また、遊技領域R1内において、遊技板11の前面から突出して遊技領域R1を複数の流下経路に分ける部位を「経路振分突部」とすると、第1ポケット部25Aは「遊技領域R1内の複数の経路振分突部」の1つと認定することができる。ここで、大入賞口22の下端開口縁である第3転動斜面24Eの右側端部を基準開口縁P1とし、基準開口縁P1から大入賞口22の上端開口縁側に水平に延ばした直線を、基準開口縁P1を中心に上方に回動して最初に経路振分突部に接する線は、図9に示すように第1ポケット部25Aに接する基準線L1として定まると共に、基準線L1と下側突部24と間の入賞容易領域R5が定まり、その入賞容易領域は、1つ以上の遊技球が進入可能な大きになっている。また、入賞容易領域R5に進入した遊技球は、大入賞口22に容易に入賞することになるので、基準線L1のうち遊技領域R1の境界を特定するレール部材12との交点から基準開口縁P1までの線分の範囲は、大入賞口22への実質的な入賞口と捉えることができる。そして、そのような基準線L1に対し、後方流路26の排出口26Bが交差しているので、後方流路26の進入口26Aに入球すれば、略確実に入賞容易領域R5へと排出されて、大入賞口22への入賞が容易になる。 By the way, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the right end of the third rolling slope 24E and the left end of the relay slope 24C form the left and right opening edges of the large winning opening 22, and the door member 22T is formed. When moving backward, the large winning opening 22 opens diagonally upward to the left. Further, if the portion of the game area R1 that protrudes from the front surface of the game board 11 and divides the game area R1 into a plurality of flow paths is defined as a "path distribution protrusion", the first pocket portion 25A is "in the game area R1. It can be recognized as one of "multiple route distribution protrusions". Here, the right end of the third rolling slope 24E, which is the lower end opening edge of the large winning opening 22, is set as the reference opening edge P1, and a straight line extending horizontally from the reference opening edge P1 to the upper end opening edge side of the large winning opening 22 is drawn. The line that rotates upward around the reference opening edge P1 and first contacts the path distribution protrusion is determined as the reference line L1 that contacts the first pocket portion 25A as shown in FIG. The easy-to-win area R5 between the lower protrusion 24 and the easy-to-win area R5 is determined, and the easy-to-win area is large enough for one or more game balls to enter. Further, since the game ball that has entered the easy-to-win area R5 easily wins the large winning opening 22, the reference opening edge is from the intersection with the rail member 12 that specifies the boundary of the game area R1 in the reference line L1. The range of the line segment up to P1 can be regarded as a substantial winning opening to the large winning opening 22. Then, since the discharge port 26B of the rear flow path 26 intersects with such a reference line L1, if the ball enters the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26, the ball is almost certainly discharged to the winning easy region R5. As a result, it becomes easy to win a prize in the large winning opening 22.

図3に示すように、遊技板11の後面には、後部ユニット28Uが取り付けられている。後部ユニット28Uは、遊技板11の演出窓13を通して視認可能な複数の部品を支持ボックス28に組み付けてなる。以下、後部ユニット28Uの構成について説明する。 As shown in FIG. 3, a rear unit 28U is attached to the rear surface of the game plate 11. The rear unit 28U is formed by assembling a plurality of parts visible through the effect window 13 of the game board 11 to the support box 28. Hereinafter, the configuration of the rear unit 28U will be described.

図11には、遊技板11から取り外された状態の後部ユニット28Uが示され、図12には、その後部ユニット28Uの断面が示され、さらに、図13には、後部ユニット28Uの前面側の一部を分解した状態が示されている。 FIG. 11 shows the rear unit 28U removed from the game plate 11, FIG. 12 shows a cross section of the rear unit 28U, and FIG. 13 shows the front side of the rear unit 28U. A partially disassembled state is shown.

図13に示すように、支持ボックス28は、前面が開口し、前後方向に偏平な箱形構造をなしている。また、図12に示すように、支持ボックス28の後面壁28Dには、四角形の後面窓28Wが形成され、その窓23Wを閉塞した状態に液晶パネル41が後面壁28Dに取り付けられている。そして、液晶パネル41の前面の後側液晶画面41Gが、演出窓13を通して視認可能になっている。また、支持ボックス28の後方には、図32に示したメイン制御基板90及びサブ制御基板91を含む複数の回路基板が重ねて組み付けられている。 As shown in FIG. 13, the support box 28 has an open front surface and has a box-shaped structure flat in the front-rear direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a quadrangular rear window 28W is formed on the rear wall 28D of the support box 28, and the liquid crystal panel 41 is attached to the rear wall 28D in a state where the window 23W is closed. The rear liquid crystal screen 41G on the front surface of the liquid crystal panel 41 is visible through the effect window 13. Further, behind the support box 28, a plurality of circuit boards including the main control board 90 and the sub control board 91 shown in FIG. 32 are laminated and assembled.

図32には、遊技機10の電気的な構成が示されている。遊技機10は、外部電源100に接続される電源回路99を有する。電源回路99は、変圧回路99A(例えば、分割回路、スイッチングレギュレータ等)を備え、第1〜第4の可動役物33,35〜37、液晶パネル41、透過液晶パネル43等を駆動制御する回路基板や、メイン制御基板90、サブ制御基板91等に対して、予め定められた電圧の電力を供給する。また、少なくとも、電源回路99からメイン制御基板90及びサブ制御基板91への給電ラインと、電源回路99から透過液晶パネル43の回路基板44Cへの給電ラインとには、バックアップ電源回路99X,99Yが備えられている。 FIG. 32 shows the electrical configuration of the gaming machine 10. The game machine 10 has a power supply circuit 99 connected to an external power supply 100. The power supply circuit 99 includes a transformer circuit 99A (for example, a dividing circuit, a switching regulator, etc.) and drives and controls the first to fourth movable accessories 33, 35 to 37, the liquid crystal panel 41, the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, and the like. Power of a predetermined voltage is supplied to the board, the main control board 90, the sub control board 91, and the like. Further, at least, backup power supply circuits 99X and 99Y are provided in the power supply line from the power supply circuit 99 to the main control board 90 and the sub control board 91 and the power supply line from the power supply circuit 99 to the circuit board 44C of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43. It is equipped.

メイン制御基板90及びサブ制御基板91には、マイコン90A,91Aと、電源回路99の出力電圧と予め設定された第1基準電圧とを比較する第1比較回路90B,91Bと、電源回路99の出力電圧と予め設定された第2基準電圧とを比較する第2比較回路90C,91Cとがそれぞれ実装されている。 The main control board 90 and the sub control board 91 include the microcomputers 90A and 91A, the first comparison circuits 90B and 91B for comparing the output voltage of the power supply circuit 99 with the preset first reference voltage, and the power supply circuit 99. The second comparison circuits 90C and 91C for comparing the output voltage and the preset second reference voltage are mounted, respectively.

第1比較回路90B,91Bは、電源回路99の出力電圧が第1基準電圧以上である場合にはマイコン90A,91Aにオン信号を付与し、そうでない場合にはオフ信号を付与する。また、第2比較回路90C,91Cは、電源回路99の出力電圧が第2基準電圧以上である場合にはマイコン90A,91Aにオン信号を付与し、そうでない場合にはオフ信号を付与する。 The first comparison circuits 90B and 91B give an on signal to the microcomputers 90A and 91A when the output voltage of the power supply circuit 99 is equal to or higher than the first reference voltage, and give an off signal when the output voltage is not. Further, the second comparison circuits 90C and 91C give an on signal to the microcomputers 90A and 91A when the output voltage of the power supply circuit 99 is equal to or higher than the second reference voltage, and give an off signal when the output voltage is not.

マイコン90A,91Aは、所定周期で電断監視プログラムPG1(図33参照)と瞬停監視プログラムPG2(図34参照)とを実行している。図33に示すように、電断監視プログラムPG1では、第1比較回路90B,91Bの出力信号がオン信号からオフ信号に切り替わるとタイマーT1が計測を開始し(S11のYES、S12)、その計測結果が予め設定された第1基準時間T11を超えた場合には(S13でYES)、電源遮断(所謂「電断」)が発生したと判断して電断処理(S16)を実行する。なお、タイマーT1による計測結果が第1基準時間T11を超える前に、第1比較回路90B,91Bの出力信号がオフ信号からオン信号に切り替わった場合は(S13でNO、S14でYES)、タイマーT1がリセットされる。 The microcomputers 90A and 91A execute the power interruption monitoring program PG1 (see FIG. 33) and the momentary power failure monitoring program PG2 (see FIG. 34) at predetermined cycles. As shown in FIG. 33, in the power failure monitoring program PG1, when the output signals of the first comparison circuits 90B and 91B are switched from the on signal to the off signal, the timer T1 starts measurement (YES in S11, S12), and the measurement is performed. When the result exceeds the preset first reference time T11 (YES in S13), it is determined that the power cutoff (so-called “power cut”) has occurred, and the power cut process (S16) is executed. If the output signals of the first comparison circuits 90B and 91B are switched from the off signal to the on signal before the measurement result by the timer T1 exceeds the first reference time T11 (NO in S13, YES in S14), the timer T1 is reset.

図34に示すように、瞬停監視プログラムPG2では、第2比較回路90C,91Cの出力信号がオン信号からオフ信号に切り替わるとタイマーT2が計測を開始し(S21、S22)、その計測結果が予め設定された第2基準時間T22以内にオン信号に戻った場合には(S23でYES、S24でYES)、電源瞬間停止(所謂「瞬停」)が発生したと判断して瞬停処理(S25)を行う。なお、本実施形態では、第1基準電圧と第2基電圧とが同じであると共に、第1基準時間T11と第2基準時間T22とが同じになっていて、タイマーT2による計測結果が第2基準時間T22を超えた場合に(S23でNO)は、瞬停監視プログラムPG2は終了し、電断監視プログラムPG1による電断処理(S16)が実行される。第1基準電圧と第2基電圧とが異なるか、又は、第1基準時間T11と第2基準時間T22とが異なる構成としてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 34, in the instantaneous power failure monitoring program PG2, when the output signals of the second comparison circuits 90C and 91C are switched from the on signal to the off signal, the timer T2 starts the measurement (S21, S22), and the measurement result is obtained. If the ON signal is returned within the preset second reference time T22 (YES in S23, YES in S24), it is determined that a momentary power stop (so-called "momentary power failure") has occurred and the momentary power failure process (so-called "momentary power failure") occurs. Perform S25). In this embodiment, the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage are the same, the first reference time T11 and the second reference time T22 are the same, and the measurement result by the timer T2 is the second. When the reference time T22 is exceeded (NO in S23), the instantaneous power failure monitoring program PG2 is terminated, and the power failure processing (S16) by the power failure monitoring program PG1 is executed. The first reference voltage and the second reference voltage may be different, or the first reference time T11 and the second reference time T22 may be different.

ここで、透過液晶パネル43は、停止させるためには、次の2つの処理が必要になる。即ち、透過液晶パネル43の電荷を抜ききるために、白表示を第1規定時間(例えば、50[msec])以上行うことと、その白表示に固定されないようにするために、白表示後、第2規定時間(例えば、1[min])以上、透過液晶パネル43への印加電圧を0.1[V]以下に維持すること、とが必要になる。これに対し、サブ制御基板91のマイコン91Aが実行する電断処理(S16)では、サブ制御基板91のマイコン91Aは、透過液晶パネル43の回路基板44Cに対し、電断を発生を意味する信号を出力するという停止処理を行う。すると、回路基板44Cの制御回路は、透過液晶パネル43がバックライトを消灯してから白表示を第1規定時間以上行うように制御する。なお、電断時には、透過液晶パネル43を停止後から第2規定時間(例えば、1[min])以内に再起動することはないので、上記処理よって対応することができる。 Here, in order to stop the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, the following two processes are required. That is, in order to remove the electric charge of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, the white display is performed for the first specified time (for example, 50 [msec]) or more, and in order not to be fixed to the white display, after the white display, It is necessary to maintain the applied voltage to the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 at 0.1 [V] or less for the second specified time (for example, 1 [min]) or more. On the other hand, in the power interruption process (S16) executed by the microcomputer 91A of the sub control board 91, the microcomputer 91A of the sub control board 91 sends a signal indicating that the power is cut to the circuit board 44C of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43. Is stopped by outputting. Then, the control circuit of the circuit board 44C controls the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 so that the white display is performed for the first specified time or longer after the backlight is turned off. At the time of power failure, the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 is not restarted within the second specified time (for example, 1 [min]) after the stop, so that the above process can be used.

また、サブ制御基板91のマイコン91Aが実行する瞬停処理(S25)では、サブ制御基板91のマイコン91Aは、透過液晶パネル43の回路基板44Cに瞬停の発生を意味する信号を出力するというリセット処理を行う。すると、回路基板44Cの制御回路は、透過液晶パネル43がバックライトを消灯してから白表示を前記第1規定時間以上行い、さらに、その後、前記第2規定時間以上停止してから再起動するように制御する。 Further, in the instantaneous power failure process (S25) executed by the microcomputer 91A of the sub control board 91, the microcomputer 91A of the sub control board 91 outputs a signal indicating the occurrence of the momentary power failure to the circuit board 44C of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43. Perform reset processing. Then, the control circuit of the circuit board 44C displays white for the first specified time or longer after the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 turns off the backlight, and then restarts after stopping for the second specified time or longer. To control.

このように、透過液晶パネル43を制御するサブ制御基板91自体に備えたマイコン91A,第1比較回路91B,第2比較回路91Cによって電断と瞬停とを検出して、透過液晶パネル43の上記した停止処理及びリセット処理を行うので、電断後及び瞬停後の透過液晶パネル43が安定して正常に作動する。 In this way, the transmission and momentary power failure are detected by the microcomputer 91A, the first comparison circuit 91B, and the second comparison circuit 91C provided in the sub-control board 91 itself that controls the transmission liquid crystal panel 43, and the transmission liquid crystal panel 43 Since the above-mentioned stop processing and reset processing are performed, the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 after the power failure and the momentary power failure operates stably and normally.

なお、メイン制御基板90のマイコン90Aが実行する電断処理や瞬停処理としては、例えば、確変状態か通常状態かの区別や、普図判定、特図判定を行う権利である保留球の数等、遊技を制御するためのデータの記憶処理が挙げられる。また、本実施形態では、第1比較回路91Bと電断監視プログラムPG1のステップS11〜S13の実効中のマイコン91Aとにより電断の発生を検出する電断検出手段が構成されると共に、電断処理(S16)の実効中のマイコン91Aにより透過液晶パネル43を停止するための停止処理手段が構成されている。また、第2比較回路91Cと瞬停監視プログラムPG2のステップS21〜S24の実効中のマイコン91Aとにより瞬停の発生を検出する瞬停検出手段が構成されると共に、瞬停処理(S25)の実効中のマイコン91Aにより透過液晶パネル43をリセットするためのリセット処理手段が構成されている。 The power interruption processing and the momentary power failure processing executed by the microcomputer 90A of the main control board 90 include, for example, the number of reserved balls which are the right to distinguish between the probabilistic state and the normal state, and to perform the normal figure judgment and the special figure judgment. Etc., data storage processing for controlling the game can be mentioned. Further, in the present embodiment, the first comparison circuit 91B and the microcomputer 91A in which the steps S11 to S13 of the power failure monitoring program PG1 are in effect constitute a power failure detection means for detecting the occurrence of the power failure, and the power failure is detected.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the microcomputer 91A of the sub-control board 91 imparts a signal meaning power interruption and momentary power failure to the circuit board 44C of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, but the first comparison circuit of the sub-control board 91 The output of 91B and the first comparison circuit 91C may be applied to the circuit board 44C of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 as a signal indicating power interruption and momentary power failure.

本実施形態の遊技機10の構成に関する説明は以上である。次に、この遊技機10の作用効果について説明する。ハンドル10H(図1参照)の操作により、図2に示した遊技領域R1に遊技球が打ち込まれると、一部の遊技球は、ワープ部14Wを通過して転動ステージ16の左側端部に取り込まれる。そして、遊技球は、転動ステージ16の中央に向かって転動する。このとき遊技球は、ランダムに転動ステージ16の前側か後側かを転動し、一部の遊技球は、図4に示した第1又は第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tに案内されて、第1又は第2の排出口16X,16Yから転動ステージ16の前方に排出される。また、別の一部の遊技球は、図4に示した第1及び第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tの後方の転動許容部16K1,16K2を転動することで、第1及び第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tによる影響を受けずに第1及び第2の排出口16X,16Yを通過して転動ステージ16の右側へと移動する。そして、そのような遊技球は、折り返して転動ステージ16の中央に向かい、再び、転動許容部16K1,16K2を転動するか、第1又は第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tに案内されて第1又は第2の排出口16X,16Yから転動ステージ16の前方に排出される。そして、第1排出口16Xから遊技球が排出されると、その真下の第1特図始動入賞口17Aに入賞し易くなる。また、第2排出口16Yから遊技球が排出されると、第1特図始動入賞口17Aの両脇を通過して第2特図始動入賞口17Bに入賞し易くなる。そして、第1又は第2の特図始動入賞口17A,17Bに遊技球が入賞すると、特図判定が行われ、それで当りになると、前述した大当り遊技が実行されて、大入賞口22が所定回数、所定期間に亘り開く。 This concludes the description of the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. Next, the operation and effect of the game machine 10 will be described. When a game ball is driven into the game area R1 shown in FIG. 2 by operating the handle 10H (see FIG. 1), some of the game balls pass through the warp portion 14W and reach the left end of the rolling stage 16. It is captured. Then, the game ball rolls toward the center of the rolling stage 16. At this time, the game ball randomly rolls on the front side or the rear side of the rolling stage 16, and some of the game balls are guided by the first or second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T shown in FIG. Then, it is discharged from the first or second discharge ports 16X and 16Y in front of the rolling stage 16. In addition, some of the other game balls roll the first and second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T shown in FIG. 4 by rolling the roll allowance portions 16K1 and 16K2 behind the first and second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T. It passes through the first and second discharge ports 16X and 16Y without being affected by the discharge guide portions 16S and 16T of the above, and moves to the right side of the rolling stage 16. Then, such a game ball turns back toward the center of the rolling stage 16 and rolls the rolling allowable portions 16K1 and 16K2 again, or is guided by the first or second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T. The first or second discharge ports 16X and 16Y are discharged in front of the rolling stage 16. Then, when the game ball is discharged from the first discharge port 16X, it becomes easy to win a prize in the first special figure start winning hole 17A directly below the game ball. Further, when the game ball is ejected from the second discharge port 16Y, it is easy to pass through both sides of the first special figure start winning opening 17A and win the second special drawing start winning opening 17B. Then, when the game ball wins in the first or second special drawing start winning opening 17A, 17B, the special drawing determination is performed, and when it hits, the above-mentioned big hit game is executed and the big winning opening 22 is predetermined. Open for a specified number of times.

このように本実施形態の遊技機10では、転動ステージ16のうち第1及び第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tの後方に転動許容部16K1,16K2を備えたので、第1と第2の排出口16X,16Yを通過して転動する場合が多くなり、転動ステージ16における遊技球の転動距離及び転動時間が従来より長くてなって趣向性が向上する。また、転動許容部16K1,16K2を転動した遊技球は長く転動することで緩やかに減速して第1又は第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tに向かうので、第1及び第2の排出口16X,16Yから排出されるときの位置が安定するという効果も期待することができる。また、第1及び第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tと転動許容部16K1,16K2との境界位置が、転動ステージ16の前後方向の中央より後側に配置されているので、転動許容部16K1,16K2を転動したときのレア感が生じ、この点においても趣向性が向上する。 As described above, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the rolling allowance portions 16K1 and 16K2 are provided behind the first and second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T of the rolling stage 16, the first and second In many cases, the game balls pass through the discharge ports 16X and 16Y and roll, and the rolling distance and rolling time of the game ball in the rolling stage 16 become longer than before, and the taste is improved. Further, since the game ball that has rolled the rolling allowance portions 16K1 and 16K2 rolls for a long time, it gradually decelerates and heads for the first or second discharge guide parts 16S and 16T, so that the first and second discharges are discharged. It can also be expected to have the effect of stabilizing the position when discharged from the outlets 16X and 16Y. Further, since the boundary positions between the first and second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T and the rolling allowance portions 16K1 and 16K2 are arranged behind the center of the rolling stage 16 in the front-rear direction, the rolling allowance is allowed. A feeling of rareness occurs when the parts 16K1 and 16K2 are rolled, and the taste is improved in this respect as well.

さらには、本実施形態の遊技機10では、第1排出口16Xから転動ステージ16の後端まで延びる縦溝16Vを横断リブ16Pが横切り、横断リブ16Pとそれより後側部分とが転動許容部16K1をなす一方、横断リブ16Pより前側部分が第1排出ガイド部16Sをなしているので、横方向から転動してくる全ての遊技球が縦溝16Vにて前側に案内されるように見えるが、横断リブ16Pより後側部分では遊技球が縦溝16Vにて前側に案内されずに横方向に転動し続けるという意外性がある遊技球の転動態様を提供することができる。 Further, in the game machine 10 of the present embodiment, the transverse rib 16P crosses the vertical groove 16V extending from the first discharge port 16X to the rear end of the rolling stage 16, and the transverse rib 16P and the rear portion thereof roll. While forming the allowable portion 16K1, the portion on the front side of the transverse rib 16P forms the first discharge guide portion 16S, so that all the game balls rolling from the lateral direction are guided to the front side by the vertical groove 16V. However, it is possible to provide a rolling mode of the game ball having a surprising aspect that the game ball continues to roll in the lateral direction without being guided to the front side by the vertical groove 16V in the portion rearward from the transverse rib 16P. ..

なお、本実施形態では、縦溝16Vが、前方に向かって徐々に幅広になっていることと、その縦溝16Vの内側面が前下がりに傾斜していることとの両方により、遊技球を前側に案内しているが、何れか一方によって遊技球を前側に案内してもよい。また、本実施形態では、第1及び第2の排出口16X,16Yのそれぞれの後方に、第1及び第2の排出ガイド部16S,16Tと転動許容部16K1,16K2とが合わせて配置されているが、第1及び第2の排出口16X,16Yの何れか一方の後方から排出ガイド部又は転動許容部を排除してもよい。転動許容部を排除するには、排出ガイド部を転動ステージ16の後端まで延ばした構成でもよいし、排出ガイド部を転動ステージ16の後端から遊技球の変形未満の位置まで延ばした構成でもよい。また、縦溝16Vのうち横断リブ16Pより後ろ側全体を埋めてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the game ball is played by both that the vertical groove 16V is gradually widened toward the front and that the inner side surface of the vertical groove 16V is inclined downward. Although it is guided to the front side, the game ball may be guided to the front side by either one. Further, in the present embodiment, the first and second discharge guide portions 16S and 16T and the rolling allowance portions 16K1 and 16K2 are arranged behind the first and second discharge ports 16X and 16Y, respectively. However, the discharge guide portion or the roll allowance portion may be excluded from the rear of any one of the first and second discharge ports 16X and 16Y. In order to eliminate the roll allowance portion, the discharge guide portion may be extended to the rear end of the rolling stage 16, or the discharge guide portion may be extended from the rear end of the rolling stage 16 to a position less than the deformation of the game ball. The configuration may be used. Further, the entire vertical groove 16V behind the transverse rib 16P may be filled.

ハンドル10H(図1参照)の操作により遊技球の発射強度を高くすると、遊技球が演出窓13の右側を流下する右打ち状態になる。そして、上辺通路R3、右辺通路R2(図2参照)を通過した遊技球が入賞役物部品23に向かう。すると、図5に示すように、遊技球は、第1普図始動入賞口17Cに入賞するか、その側方の流路R4か後方流路26かに向かう。 When the firing intensity of the game ball is increased by operating the handle 10H (see FIG. 1), the game ball is in a right-handed state in which the game ball flows down the right side of the effect window 13. Then, the game ball that has passed through the upper passage R3 and the right side passage R2 (see FIG. 2) heads for the winning accessory component 23. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the game ball either wins the first normal drawing start winning opening 17C, or goes to the side flow path R4 or the rear flow path 26.

第1普図始動入賞口17Cに遊技球が入賞すると特図判定が行われて、それで当りになると、前述した大当り遊技が実行されて、大入賞口22が所定回数、所定期間に亘り開く。 When a game ball wins a prize in the first general drawing start winning opening 17C, a special figure determination is made, and when it hits, the above-mentioned big hit game is executed and the big winning opening 22 is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined period.

後方流路26に入球した遊技球は、遊技板11の前面より後方に移動して降下してから遊技板11の前面に排出される。また、後方流路26の排出口26Bは転動路24Rに隣接しているので、後方流路26から転動路24R上にスムーズに移動する。そして、転動路24Rを転動し、このとき大入賞口22が開いていれば、大入賞口22に入賞する。即ち、大当り遊技中に後方流路26に進入した遊技球は、高い確率で大入賞口22に入賞する。これを別の観点から捉えると、図9に示すように、後方流路26の排出口26Bの一部は、大入賞口22に対する前述した入賞容易領域R5に位置しているので、後方流路26に進入した遊技球は、高い確率で大入賞口22に入賞することになる。これにより、後方流路26の進入口26Aに遊技球が入球すると、そこから離れた大入賞口22に高い確率で入賞するという今迄にない感覚を楽しむことができる。そして、遊技球が後方流路26の進入口26Aに入球してから大入賞口22に到達するまでの過程を楽しむことができる。また、後方流路26の進入口26Aは、遊技板11の前面から突出する第2ポケット部25Bの上面に開口し、その第2ポケット部25Bの真下に排出口26Bが配置されているので、遊技球の動きを目で追い易い。 The game ball that has entered the rear flow path 26 moves rearward from the front surface of the game board 11 and descends, and then is discharged to the front surface of the game board 11. Further, since the discharge port 26B of the rear flow path 26 is adjacent to the rolling path 24R, it smoothly moves from the rear flow path 26 onto the rolling path 24R. Then, the rolling path 24R is rolled, and if the large winning opening 22 is open at this time, the large winning opening 22 is won. That is, the game ball that has entered the rear flow path 26 during the big hit game has a high probability of winning the big winning opening 22. From another point of view, as shown in FIG. 9, a part of the discharge port 26B of the rear flow path 26 is located in the above-mentioned easy-to-win area R5 with respect to the large winning opening 22, so that the rear flow path The game ball that has entered 26 will have a high probability of winning in the large winning opening 22. As a result, when the game ball enters the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26, it is possible to enjoy an unprecedented feeling of winning a prize at the large winning opening 22 away from the game ball with a high probability. Then, you can enjoy the process from when the game ball enters the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26 to when it reaches the big winning opening 22. Further, the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26 is opened on the upper surface of the second pocket portion 25B protruding from the front surface of the game plate 11, and the discharge port 26B is arranged directly below the second pocket portion 25B. It is easy to follow the movement of the game ball with your eyes.

しかも、大入賞口22は扉部材22Tによって開閉されるので、後方流路26の進入口26Aへの遊技球の入球タイミングが、大入賞口22に入賞させるために丁度よいタイミングであるか否かを楽しむこともできる。それに加え、第1ポケット部25Aの一側方の流路R4を流下する遊技球が、転動路24Rのうち後方流路26の排出口26Bよりさらに上流側部分で受け止められて、転動路24R上で後方流路26から排出される遊技球と合流して前記タイミングをずらすことがあるので、趣向性が高い遊技球の流下形態を提供することができる。 Moreover, since the large winning opening 22 is opened and closed by the door member 22T, whether or not the timing of entering the game ball into the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26 is just the right timing for the large winning opening 22 to win a prize. You can also enjoy the door. In addition, the game ball flowing down the flow path R4 on one side of the first pocket portion 25A is received by the portion of the rolling path 24R on the upstream side of the discharge port 26B of the rear flow path 26, and the rolling path. Since the timing may be shifted by merging with the game ball discharged from the rear flow path 26 on the 24R, it is possible to provide a flow form of the game ball having a high taste.

なお、本実施形態では、後方流路26の排出口26Bの一部のみが入賞容易領域R5内に位置した構成になっているが、排出口26Bの全体が入賞容易領域R5内に位置していてもよい。また、本実施形態では、入賞容易領域R5内には、大入賞口22以外に遊技球が入球可能な入球部が備えられていないが、例えば、転動路24Rとレール部材12と間にアウト口に繋がる流路を設けて、流路R4からアウト口に向かい得る構成や、環状突部15Kを排除して、転動路24Rを転動せずつ入賞役物部品23を通過する構成としてもよい。さらに、後方流路26の全体を含んだ流路の通過に要する通過時間の示唆・表示を後側液晶画面41Gや前側液晶画面43Gや遊技板11の前面プリント等に設けてもよい。そうすれば、その通りの時間を使用して後方流路26の進入口26Aに入球した遊技球が大入賞口22に到達したときの達成感を楽しむことができる。特に、後方流路26が長いときに、その達成感が大きくなる。また、本実施形態では、入賞容易領域R5を基準線L1を以て定義していたが、転動路24Rのうち大入賞口22に遊技球を案内する部分及び大入賞口22の真上で、遊技板11の前面から突出する前面突部を有しない領域を入賞容易領域と見なすこともできる。さらに、大入賞口22は、転動路24Rに開口していなくてもよく、例えば、大入賞口が、遊技板11の前面に開口しかつ回動扉で通常は閉塞され、大当り遊技が実効されると回動扉が前に倒れて遊技球を大入賞口に案内するものにおいて、前倒れの回動扉の真上で、遊技板11の前面から突出する前面突部を有しない領域を入賞容易領域として、その入賞容易領域に向けて後方流路26から遊技球が排出されるようにしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, only a part of the discharge port 26B of the rear flow path 26 is located in the winning easy area R5, but the entire discharge port 26B is located in the winning easy area R5. You may. Further, in the present embodiment, the winning easy-to-win area R5 is not provided with a ball-entry portion in which a game ball can enter other than the large winning opening 22, but for example, between the rolling path 24R and the rail member 12. Is provided with a flow path connected to the out port, and a structure in which the flow path R4 can be directed to the out port, or a structure in which the annular protrusion 15K is eliminated and the rolling path 24R is rolled and passed through the winning accessory component 23 one by one. May be. Further, the suggestion / display of the passing time required for passing through the flow path including the entire rear flow path 26 may be provided on the rear liquid crystal screen 41G, the front liquid crystal screen 43G, the front print of the game board 11, or the like. Then, it is possible to enjoy the sense of accomplishment when the game ball that has entered the entrance 26A of the rear flow path 26 reaches the large winning opening 22 using the exact time. In particular, when the rear flow path 26 is long, the sense of accomplishment is increased. Further, in the present embodiment, the winning easy area R5 is defined by the reference line L1, but the game is played in the portion of the rolling path 24R that guides the game ball to the large winning opening 22 and directly above the large winning opening 22. A region having no front protrusion protruding from the front surface of the plate 11 can also be regarded as a winning easy region. Further, the big winning opening 22 does not have to be open to the rolling path 24R. For example, the big winning opening is opened in the front surface of the game plate 11 and is normally closed by the rotating door, so that the big hit game is effective. When this is done, the rotating door falls forward to guide the game ball to the big prize opening, and a region directly above the forward-falling rotating door that does not have a front protrusion protruding from the front of the game plate 11. As the easy-to-win area, the game ball may be discharged from the rear flow path 26 toward the easy-to-win area.

遊技機10では、大入賞口22、第1及び第2の特図始動入賞口17A,17B、第1及び第2の普図始動入賞口17C,17D及び普通入賞口18への入賞に応じて上皿10D(図1参照)に賞球が払い出される遊技や、第1及び第2の特図始動入賞口17A,17B、第1及び第2の普図始動入賞口17C,17D等への入賞又は入球に応じた当否判定等の遊技に加え、様々な遊技の演出が行われる。それら演出の1つのとして、第1と第2の発光パネル51,52による光装飾が行われる。 In the game machine 10, according to the winning of the large winning opening 22, the first and second special drawing starting winning openings 17A and 17B, the first and second general drawing starting winning openings 17C and 17D, and the normal winning opening 18 A game in which a prize ball is paid out to the upper plate 10D (see FIG. 1), and prizes in the first and second special drawing start winning openings 17A and 17B, the first and second general drawing starting winning openings 17C and 17D, etc. Alternatively, in addition to games such as winning / failing judgment according to the entry of a ball, various games are produced. As one of these effects, light decoration by the first and second light emitting panels 51 and 52 is performed.

図13に示すように、第1と第2の発光パネル51,52は、前側液晶画面43Gの後ろと前とに分かれて配置されている。また、第1と第2の発光パネル51,52は、前面から見た形状は異なるがそれ以外は同じ構造をなし、図30(B)と図31とに示すように、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cを前後に積層した状態に備え、それらの上面に発光基板52Eからの光が入光して、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの凹凸が発光するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 13, the first and second light emitting panels 51 and 52 are separately arranged behind and in front of the front liquid crystal screen 43G. Further, the first and second light emitting panels 51 and 52 have the same structure except for the shapes different from each other when viewed from the front surface, and as shown in FIGS. 30B and 31, the first and second light emitting panels 51 and 52 have the same structure. In preparation for a state in which the light-transmitting plates 52B and 52C of the above are laminated in the front-rear direction, light from the light-emitting substrate 52E enters the upper surface of the light-transmitting plates 52B and 52C, and the irregularities of the first and second light-transmitting plates 52B and 52C are emitted. It has become.

ここで、発光基板52Eには、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの側面に対向する第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1が備えられているので、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cのそれぞれを鮮明に光らせることができる。そして、それら複数の第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの光った部分を重ねて遊技者に見せることができ、趣向性が高い光演出を提供することが可能になる。また、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1のLED53A,53B同士が所謂千鳥配置になっているので、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの両方にバランスよく光を付与することができる。さらに、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1のLED53A,53B同士が、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1の長手方向から見て部分的に重なっているので、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの板厚に比べて大きなLED53A,53Bを利用することができ、LED53A,53Bの選択の自由度が高くなる。しかも、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cを発光させるLED53A,53Bの種類が異なるので、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの発光の趣が異なり、趣向性が高くなる。また、第1透光板52Bには、全体に亘って略均一の波長の波形の凹凸が形成され、第2透光板52Cには、前記波長より大きな溝幅の複数の溝52Zが形成されているので、第1と第2の透光板52B,52Cの発光の態様が明確に分かれ、奥行き感を有する光装飾を行うことができる。さらに、第1と第2の発光パネル51,52は、前側液晶画面43Gの前後に分けて配置されているので、この点においても奥行き感を有する光装飾を行うことができる。 Here, since the light emitting substrate 52E is provided with the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 facing the side surfaces of the first and second light transmitting plates 52B and 52C, the first and second light emitting elements are provided. Each of the translucent plates 52B and 52C can be clearly illuminated. Then, the shining portions of the plurality of first and second translucent plates 52B and 52C can be overlapped and shown to the player, and it becomes possible to provide a highly tasteful light effect. Further, since the LEDs 53A and 53B of the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 are arranged in a so-called staggered arrangement, light is applied to both the first and second light transmitting plates 52B and 52C in a well-balanced manner. be able to. Further, the LEDs 53A and 53B of the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 partially overlap each other when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1. The LEDs 53A and 53B, which are larger than the thickness of the second translucent plates 52B and 52C, can be used, and the degree of freedom in selecting the LEDs 53A and 53B is increased. Moreover, since the types of LEDs 53A and 53B that cause the first and second translucent plates 52B and 52C to emit light are different, the taste of light emission of the first and second translucent plates 52B and 52C is different, and the taste is high. .. Further, the first translucent plate 52B is formed with irregularities having a waveform having a substantially uniform wavelength throughout, and the second translucent plate 52C is formed with a plurality of grooves 52Z having a groove width larger than the wavelength. Therefore, the modes of light emission of the first and second translucent plates 52B and 52C are clearly separated, and light decoration with a sense of depth can be performed. Further, since the first and second light emitting panels 51 and 52 are separately arranged in front of and behind the front liquid crystal screen 43G, it is possible to perform light decoration with a sense of depth in this respect as well.

また、第2透光板52Cの貫通孔52Xに、第1透光板52Bに固定された嵌合部材が嵌合されて、第2透光板52Cが異なる部材を部分的に含んだ構造となり、この点においても、趣向性が高い光装飾を提供することができると共に、そのような構造の第2透光板52Cを、例えば二色成形等によって製造する場合より容易に製造することができる。 Further, a fitting member fixed to the first light transmitting plate 52B is fitted into the through hole 52X of the second light transmitting plate 52C, so that the second light transmitting plate 52C has a structure in which different members are partially included. In this respect as well, it is possible to provide a highly tasteful light decoration, and it is possible to manufacture the second light transmitting plate 52C having such a structure more easily than when it is manufactured by, for example, two-color molding. ..

<第8グループの発明の変形例>
なお、本実施形態では、LED53A,53B同士が所謂千鳥配置になっていたが、千鳥配置とせずに、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1の間でLED53A,53B同士が、隣接して隣り合わないように、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1の長手方向でずらしてもよい。そのようにすれば、そうでないものに比べてLED53A,53B同士の間隔が広くなり、実装が容易になると共に発熱が抑えられる。また、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1のLED53A,53B同士が、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1の長手方向から見て重ならないように配置してもよい。さらには、第1と第2の発光素子列53A1,53B1のLED53A,53Bの種類は異なっていても良いし、同じであってもよい。LED53A,53Bの種類の相違は、色の相違以外に、輝度、明度、大きさ等の相違であってもよい。
<Modified examples of the invention of the 8th group>
In the present embodiment, the LEDs 53A and 53B are arranged in a so-called staggered arrangement, but the LEDs 53A and 53B are adjacent to each other between the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 without the staggered arrangement. The first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 may be shifted in the longitudinal direction so as not to be adjacent to each other. By doing so, the distance between the LEDs 53A and 53B becomes wider as compared with those that do not, so that mounting becomes easier and heat generation is suppressed. Further, the LEDs 53A and 53B of the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 may be arranged so as not to overlap each other when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1. Furthermore, the types of LEDs 53A and 53B in the first and second light emitting element rows 53A1 and 53B1 may be different or the same. The difference in the types of LEDs 53A and 53B may be a difference in brightness, brightness, size, etc., in addition to the difference in color.

また、演出のバリエーションの1つとして、遊技状態が変化するときに、図14に示すように、通常は、後側液晶画面41Gの上下に待避していた第1可動役物33が、図15に示すように、後側液晶画面41Gの前に出現する演出が行われる。 Further, as one of the variations of the effect, as shown in FIG. 14, when the gaming state changes, the first movable accessory 33, which is normally reserved above and below the rear liquid crystal screen 41G, is shown in FIG. As shown in, the effect of appearing in front of the rear liquid crystal screen 41G is performed.

具体的には、遊技状態が、通常状態から大当り遊技状態等の遊技者にとって有利な状態に移行しそうになると、L形ユニット42の両サイドの発光基板44E(図26参照)が発光し、顔中構成部33Aが、顔上構成部33Bによって眼球部34を隠された状態で顔上構成部33Bと共に降下すると共に顔下構成部33Cが上昇する。そして、途中で顔上構成部33Bの降下が底止して顔中構成部33Aの眼球部34が現われ、顔中構成部33Aと顔上構成部33Bとが合体して顔を模した形状になる。ここで、第1可動役物33は、平断面形状が前方に突出する略山形をなしているので、両側方から光が照射されると、第1可動役物33の前側全体が間接照明されて光る。また、第1可動役物33には、全体に複数の凹凸があるので、間接照明によって凹凸が際だち、趣向性が高い間接照明効果を得ることができる。 Specifically, when the gaming state is about to shift from the normal state to a state advantageous for the player such as a big hit gaming state, the light emitting boards 44E (see FIG. 26) on both sides of the L-shaped unit 42 emit light, and the face is emitted. The middle component 33A descends together with the face component 33B while the eyeball unit 34 is hidden by the face component 33B, and the subface component 33C rises. Then, the descent of the above-face component 33B stops on the way, and the eyeball portion 34 of the in-face component 33A appears, and the in-face component 33A and the above-face component 33B are united to form a shape imitating a face. .. Here, since the first movable accessory 33 has a substantially chevron shape in which the flat cross-sectional shape protrudes forward, when light is irradiated from both sides, the entire front side of the first movable accessory 33 is indirectly illuminated. Shines. Further, since the first movable accessory 33 has a plurality of irregularities as a whole, the irregularities are conspicuous due to the indirect lighting, and an indirect lighting effect having a high taste can be obtained.

また、例えば、第1可動役物33全体が顔を模した形状になり、眼球部34が出現したタイミングで、図20に示した眼球部34の後方の発光基板33DのLED33D1,33D2が発光する。これにより、第1可動役物33で構成される顔を有するキャラクタの眼力が増加した感覚を抱かせることができる。 Further, for example, the entire first movable accessory 33 has a shape imitating a face, and at the timing when the eyeball portion 34 appears, the LEDs 33D1 and 33D2 of the light emitting substrate 33D behind the eyeball portion 34 shown in FIG. 20 emit light. .. As a result, it is possible to give a feeling that the eyesight of the character having the face composed of the first movable accessory 33 has increased.

ここで、眼球部34は、図17に示すように、ドーム状の膨出部34B2を有する第1透光部材34Bと、その第1透光部材34Bを前方から覆うドーム状の第2透光部材34Dとを備える。そして、それら第1と第2の透光部材34B,34Dと発光基板33Dとの間に遮蔽部材34Aを備え、その遮蔽部材34Aの開口(瞳孔34E1、スリット34E2)を通して発光基板33Dの光が遊技者側に向かうので、眼球部34に奥行き感が生じ、趣向性が高い瞳に見せることができる。また、瞳孔34E1の周囲にスリット34E2が備えられ、それらが何れも光るので瞳孔34E1がスリット34E2によって際立ち、さらに、第1透光部材34Bの膨出部34B2の外縁に沿った輪郭平面34B4も発光するので、趣向性が高い光演出を提供することができる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 17, the eyeball portion 34 has a first translucent member 34B having a dome-shaped bulging portion 34B2 and a dome-shaped second translucent member 34B that covers the first translucent member 34B from the front. It includes a member 34D. Then, a shielding member 34A is provided between the first and second translucent members 34B and 34D and the light emitting substrate 33D, and the light of the light emitting substrate 33D is played through the openings (pupils 34E1 and slits 34E2) of the shielding member 34A. Since it faces the person side, the eyeball portion 34 has a sense of depth, and the pupil can be made to look highly tasteful. Further, slits 34E2 are provided around the pupil 34E1, and since they all shine, the pupil 34E1 stands out by the slit 34E2, and the contour plane 34B4 along the outer edge of the bulging portion 34B2 of the first translucent member 34B also emits light. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly tasteful light effect.

また、瞳孔34E1に対して、その略中心部にLED33D1が位置し、しかも、第1透光部材34Bに備えたレンズ部34B3を通してLED33D1を視認することができるので瞳孔34E1の光が目立ち、鋭い眼光になる。一方、スリット34E2に対しては、その幅方向の中心との対向位置からずれた位置に複数のLED33D2が、スリット34E2に沿って並べられているので、眼球部34のうちスリット34E2より前側の部位がLED33D2の光により間接照明されて、趣向性が向上する。 Further, since the LED 33D1 is located substantially in the center of the pupil 34E1 and the LED 33D1 can be visually recognized through the lens portion 34B3 provided in the first translucent member 34B, the light of the pupil 34E1 is conspicuous and sharp eye light. become. On the other hand, with respect to the slit 34E2, since a plurality of LEDs 33D2 are arranged along the slit 34E2 at a position deviated from the position facing the center in the width direction, the portion of the eyeball portion 34 on the front side of the slit 34E2. Is indirectly illuminated by the light of the LED 33D2, and the taste is improved.

なお、遊技者にとって有利な状態に移行する信頼度が高くなると、第1可動役物33の後側の発光基板33Dの全体が発光して、第1可動役物33全体に形成されている前述の複数の筋状の透光部(図示せず)が発光する。さらに、信頼度が増すと、例えば、第1可動役物33に重なる画像が前側液晶画面43Gに表示される。 When the reliability of shifting to a state advantageous for the player becomes high, the entire light emitting substrate 33D on the rear side of the first movable accessory 33 emits light, and the entire first movable accessory 33 is formed as described above. A plurality of streaky translucent parts (not shown) emit light. Further, when the reliability is increased, for example, an image overlapping the first movable accessory 33 is displayed on the front liquid crystal screen 43G.

さらに、演出のバリエーションの別の1つとして、遊技状態が変化するときに、図15に示すように、通常は、後側液晶画面41Gの下方に待避していた第2〜第4の可動役物35〜37の何れかが、図21に示すように、後側液晶画面41Gの前に出現する演出が行われる。 Further, as another variation of the effect, as shown in FIG. 15, when the gaming state changes, the second to fourth movable roles that are normally shunted below the rear liquid crystal screen 41G are used. As shown in FIG. 21, any of the objects 35 to 37 appears in front of the rear liquid crystal screen 41G.

第2可動役物35は、ライターを模した形状をなし、出現したときには、第2可動役物35の蓋体装飾部35Cが開く。そして、発光部35Dが発光すると共に、前側液晶画面43Gに発光部35Dから燃え立つ炎が表示される。ここで、炎の表示は、後側液晶画面41Gにて行ってもよいが、第2可動役物35は後側液晶画面41Gより前側液晶画面43Gに近く、また、前側液晶画面43Gは、第2可動役物35の手前にあるので、前側液晶画面43Gにて炎の表示を行う方が趣向性が高くなる。 The second movable accessory 35 has a shape imitating a lighter, and when it appears, the lid decorative portion 35C of the second movable accessory 35 opens. Then, the light emitting unit 35D emits light, and the flame burning from the light emitting unit 35D is displayed on the front liquid crystal screen 43G. Here, the flame may be displayed on the rear liquid crystal screen 41G, but the second movable accessory 35 is closer to the front liquid crystal screen 43G than the rear liquid crystal screen 41G, and the front liquid crystal screen 43G is the second. 2 Since it is in front of the movable accessory 35, it is more plausible to display the flame on the front liquid crystal screen 43G.

図15に示すように第3と第4の可動役物36,37を、後側液晶画面41Gの下方に待避した状態から図21に示すように出現させるためには、例えば、演出操作部10Sの操作を要求され、その旨のメッセージが後側液晶画面41G又は前側液晶画面43Gに表示される。それに応じて演出操作部10Sを操作(例えば、連打)すると、第3と第4の可動役物36,37が例えば同時に回動し始める。ここで、第3と第4の可動役物36,37は、互いに異なる位置に回転軸を有するので、別々の軌道を描いて後側液晶画面41Gの前に出現するが、最終的には図21に示すように、第3と第4の可動役物36,37は重なって全体が剣の前にエンブレムを重ねた対称形状になる。そして、第4可動役物37に備えた可動演出部材38が往復移動し始め、その速度が徐々に上がっていく。これに同期して、演出操作部10Sもその内部に備えた駆動源によって往復移動し、その動力が遊技者の手に伝わる。 In order to make the third and fourth movable accessories 36 and 37 appear as shown in FIG. 21 from the state of being retracted below the rear liquid crystal screen 41G as shown in FIG. 15, for example, the effect operation unit 10S Is requested, and a message to that effect is displayed on the rear liquid crystal screen 41G or the front liquid crystal screen 43G. When the effect operation unit 10S is operated (for example, repeated hits) in response to this, the third and fourth movable accessories 36 and 37 start to rotate at the same time, for example. Here, since the third and fourth movable accessories 36 and 37 have rotation axes at different positions from each other, they draw different trajectories and appear in front of the rear liquid crystal screen 41G. As shown in 21, the third and fourth movable accessories 36 and 37 overlap to form a symmetrical shape in which the emblem is overlapped in front of the sword. Then, the movable effect member 38 provided in the fourth movable accessory 37 begins to reciprocate, and the speed thereof gradually increases. In synchronization with this, the effect operation unit 10S also reciprocates by the drive source provided inside, and the power is transmitted to the player's hand.

ここで、本実施形態では、図24に示すように、可動演出部材38は、その後方のレバーベース37Aに往復移動可能に支持されると共に、レバーベース37Aに回転可能に支持されたカム38Cを挟んで対向する1対のカム当接部(係合孔38Bの対向辺)を備えている。 Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the movable effect member 38 is supported by the lever base 37A behind the movable effect member 38 so as to be reciprocally movable, and the cam 38C rotatably supported by the lever base 37A is supported. It is provided with a pair of cam contact portions (opposing sides of the engaging holes 38B) that face each other across the sandwich.

これにより、カム38Cが回転すると、1対のカム当接部(係合孔38Bの対向辺)の一方と他方とがカム38Cに交互に押されて、可動演出部材38がスムーズに往復移動し、趣向性が高い可動演出を行うことができる。また、可動演出部材38の外縁部に対して大きな相似形の外縁部を有する円板部37Cがレバーベース37Aに設けられて可動演出部材38の後側に重なっているので、その円板部37Cによって可動演出部材38の動きが強調され、趣向性が高い可動演出を行うことができる。 As a result, when the cam 38C rotates, one and the other of the pair of cam contact portions (opposing sides of the engaging holes 38B) are alternately pushed by the cam 38C, and the movable effect member 38 smoothly reciprocates. , It is possible to perform a movable production with high taste. Further, since a disk portion 37C having an outer edge portion having a large similar shape to the outer edge portion of the movable effect member 38 is provided on the lever base 37A and overlaps the rear side of the movable effect member 38, the disk portion 37C The movement of the movable effect member 38 is emphasized by this, and it is possible to perform a movable effect with high taste.

しかも、本実施形態では、遊技者の手に演出操作部10Sの駆動源の動力が伝わるタイミングと、遊技者が、直接、操作不能な位置に配置されている可動演出部材38の移動のタイミングとが同期するので遊技者に不思議な感覚を抱かせることができる。 Moreover, in the present embodiment, the timing at which the power of the drive source of the effect operating unit 10S is transmitted to the player's hand and the timing of the movement of the movable effect member 38 arranged at a position where the player cannot directly operate. Is synchronized, so the player can have a mysterious feeling.

また、カム38Cは、多角形の各辺を外側に膨出させた形状をなしかつ多角形の図心からずれた位置に回転軸を有するので、往復のストロークが一定の単純な往復動作とは異なり、趣向性が高い動作を提供することができる。さらに、カム38Cには、外縁部を回転軸の軸方向に貫通するスリット38Dが形成されているので、カム38Cの軽量化が図られると共に、カム38Cのうちスリット38Dより外側部分が弾性変形し易くなり、カム38Cの耐久性が向上する。 Further, since the cam 38C has a shape in which each side of the polygon is bulged outward and has a rotation axis at a position deviated from the centroid of the polygon, it is different from a simple reciprocating operation in which the reciprocating stroke is constant. , Can provide highly tasteful movements. Further, since the cam 38C is formed with a slit 38D that penetrates the outer edge portion in the axial direction of the rotation axis, the weight of the cam 38C can be reduced and the outer portion of the cam 38C from the slit 38D is elastically deformed. This makes it easier and the durability of the cam 38C is improved.

なお、本実施形態では、カム38Cは、三角形をなしていたが、三角形以外の多角形であってもよい、また、カム38Cを円形とし、その図心(中心)からずれた位置に回転軸を有した構成にしてもよく、そうすれば、ストロークが一定の単純な往復動作を提供することができる。さらに、可動演出部材38がカム38Cの回転に伴って直線的に移動して往復動作する構成であったが、可動演出部材38がカム38Cの回転に伴って回動して往復動作する構成としてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the cam 38C has a triangular shape, but it may be a polygon other than the triangle, and the cam 38C has a circular shape and the rotation axis is located at a position deviated from the center of gravity (center) of the cam 38C. A simple reciprocating motion with a constant stroke can be provided. Further, the movable effect member 38 is configured to linearly move and reciprocate with the rotation of the cam 38C, but the movable effect member 38 is configured to rotate and reciprocate with the rotation of the cam 38C. May be good.

上記した第1〜第4の可動役物33,35〜37による可動演出に加え、液晶パネル41の後側液晶画面41Gと透過液晶パネル43の前側液晶画面43Gによる表示演出も行われる。液晶パネル41と透過液晶パネル43とは、間隔を空けて前後に並べられているので、遊技者に広い奥行き感を抱かせることができ、趣向性が高い演出を提供することができる。しかも、液晶パネル41と透過液晶パネル43との間には、第1〜第4の可動役物33,35〜37が配置されているので、それらと液晶パネル41及び/又は透過液晶パネル43とを組み合わせて多様な演出を行うことができる。 In addition to the movable effect by the first to fourth movable accessories 33, 35 to 37 described above, the display effect by the rear side liquid crystal screen 41G of the liquid crystal panel 41 and the front side liquid crystal screen 43G of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 is also performed. Since the liquid crystal panel 41 and the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 are arranged in the front-rear direction at intervals, the player can have a wide sense of depth and can provide a highly tasteful effect. Moreover, since the first to fourth movable accessories 33, 35 to 37 are arranged between the liquid crystal panel 41 and the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, they and the liquid crystal panel 41 and / or the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 Can be combined to create a variety of effects.

ところで、液晶パネル41と透過液晶パネル43は、共に偏光板43Jを有するので、それら1対の偏光板43Jによってモアレ縞が生じることが懸念される。しかしながら、本実施形態の遊技機10では、1対の偏光板43Jの間に光拡散シート41S(図12参照)を備えて、液晶パネル41の光が拡散されるのでモアレ縞を目立たなくすることができ、モアレ縞による演出への影響が抑えられる。また、その光拡散シート41Sは、遊技者から離れた側の液晶パネル41の前面に配置されているので、透過液晶パネル43側に配置した場合に比べて光が広く拡散し、効果的にモアレ縞を目立たなくすることができる。 By the way, since the liquid crystal panel 41 and the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 both have a polarizing plate 43J, there is a concern that moire fringes may occur due to the pair of polarizing plates 43J. However, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the light diffusion sheet 41S (see FIG. 12) is provided between the pair of polarizing plates 43J, and the light of the liquid crystal panel 41 is diffused so that the moire fringes are not noticeable. The effect of moire fringes on the production can be suppressed. Further, since the light diffusing sheet 41S is arranged in front of the liquid crystal panel 41 on the side away from the player, the light is widely diffused as compared with the case where the light diffusing sheet 41S is arranged on the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 side, and moire is effectively performed. The stripes can be made inconspicuous.

なお、透過液晶パネル43は、透過型であるので、組み付け時に後面を作業者に触れられる虞がある。これに対し、透過液晶パネル43の後面に保護シート44Fが重ね合わされているので、組み付け時における透過液晶パネル43の損傷が塞がれる。また、保護シート44Fの重ね合わせ面はエンボス加工されているので、保護シート44Fと透過液晶パネル43との密着による模様の発生が防がれる。 Since the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 is a transmissive type, there is a risk that the rear surface may be touched by an operator during assembly. On the other hand, since the protective sheet 44F is superposed on the rear surface of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, damage to the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 at the time of assembly is prevented. Further, since the overlapping surface of the protective sheet 44F is embossed, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a pattern due to the close contact between the protective sheet 44F and the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43.

また、本実施形態では、液晶パネル41と透過液晶パネル43とに偏光板が組み込まれていたが、例えば、光拡散シート41Sを挟んで配置される1対の偏光板は、液晶以外の部品に組み込まれたものでもよく、例えば、光装飾用のパネルの一部を構成する偏光板や、他の部品に組み込まれていない偏光板単品であってもよい。 Further, in the present embodiment, the polarizing plate is incorporated in the liquid crystal panel 41 and the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43. For example, the pair of polarizing plates arranged so as to sandwich the light diffusion sheet 41S is a component other than the liquid crystal. It may be a built-in one, for example, a polarizing plate forming a part of a panel for optical decoration, or a single polarizing plate not incorporated in other parts.

ところで、透過液晶パネル43は回路基板44Cと共に支持フレーム44によって互いに直交したL字状に保持され、L形ユニット42の一部になっている。これにより、そのL形ユニット42の一方の板状電気部品である透過液晶パネル43を遊技板11と平行に配置して組み付けたときに、L形ユニット42の他方の板状電気部品である回路基板44Cを、支持ボックス28とその内側の第1可動役物33等の間の隙間に挿入することができ、デッドスペースの有効利用が図られる。そして、透過液晶パネル43と回路基板44Cとを前後に重ねた場合に比べて遊技機10の前後方向の厚さを抑えることができ、組み付け作業の簡素化も図られる。 By the way, the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 is held together with the circuit board 44C in an L shape orthogonal to each other by the support frame 44, and is a part of the L-shaped unit 42. As a result, when the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, which is one plate-shaped electric component of the L-shaped unit 42, is arranged and assembled in parallel with the game plate 11, the circuit which is the other plate-shaped electric component of the L-shaped unit 42. The substrate 44C can be inserted into the gap between the support box 28 and the first movable accessory 33 or the like inside the support box 28, and the dead space can be effectively used. Further, the thickness of the game machine 10 in the front-rear direction can be suppressed as compared with the case where the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 and the circuit board 44C are stacked back and forth, and the assembling work can be simplified.

また、支持フレーム44は金属製でありかつ、回路基板44Cが支持フレーム44の基板収容部44Bに挟まれて保持されているので、回路基板44Cがシールドされて遊技機の誤動作が防がれる。また、透過液晶パネル43の両側部から後方に発光基板44Eが突出して対向しているので、前述の如く、透過液晶パネル43に重ねて配置される第1可動役物33等に対する間接照明を行うことができる。 Further, since the support frame 44 is made of metal and the circuit board 44C is sandwiched and held by the board accommodating portion 44B of the support frame 44, the circuit board 44C is shielded and malfunction of the game machine is prevented. Further, since the light emitting substrate 44E protrudes rearward from both side portions of the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 and faces the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43, indirect illumination is performed on the first movable accessory 33 or the like arranged on the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 as described above. be able to.

前記実施形態では、L形ユニット42が透過液晶パネル43と回路基板44CとをL形に突き合わせた構造になっていたが、1対の回路基板同士や、1対の発光パネル同士や、可動役物同士や、液晶パネル同士や、それらを任意に組み合わせたもの同士をL形に突き合わせた状態に保持してもL形ユニットを構成してもよい。また、前記実施形態では、L形ユニット42の1つの板状電気部品である回路基板44Cが隙間に収容される構成になっていたが、L形ユニット42の1つの板状電気部品が隙間ではなく、他の部品の側面に重ねられる構成としてもデッドスペースの有効利用が図られる。 In the above embodiment, the L-shaped unit 42 has a structure in which the transmissive liquid crystal panel 43 and the circuit board 44C are butted against each other in an L shape, but a pair of circuit boards, a pair of light emitting panels, or a movable combination. The L-shaped unit may be formed by holding objects, liquid crystal panels, or any combination thereof in an L-shaped abutting state. Further, in the above embodiment, the circuit board 44C, which is one plate-shaped electric component of the L-shaped unit 42, is accommodated in the gap, but one plate-shaped electric component of the L-shaped unit 42 is accommodated in the gap. The dead space can be effectively used even if it is stacked on the side surface of other parts.
