A lottery method for determining whether or not to grant a benefit to the player, A symbol display means that displays symbols in a variable manner based on the lottery result by the lottery means, and stops the symbols in a specific manner when the prize is to be awarded, A performance control means that causes the performance related to the lottery result to be executed according to one of several types of variation patterns, along with the variation display by the symbol display means, An outer frame that can be fixed to the gaming island equipment, A front frame positioned in front of the outer frame with its rear end inserted into the outer frame, An error clearing operation unit is located on the rear side of the front frame, The front frame is equipped with a launch handle and a performance control means that are positioned on the front side of the frame so that the player can operate them , The aforementioned multiple types of variation patterns include a reach variation pattern that displays the result in a reach animation performed after the symbols enter a reach state , The front frame is mounted to the outer frame in a manner that allows it to rotate around a hinge at one end in the left-right direction, and when the rotation angle with respect to the outer frame is 0°, it can be locked to the outer frame by a locking means having a keyhole near the opening/closing end, which is the other end of the front frame in the left-right direction. The front frame has a projection on which the performance control means is arranged and which protrudes forward of the launch handle, When the specific error clearing conditions, including the operation of the error clearing operation unit, are met, the specific error state can be cleared. In gaming machines, In the aforementioned reach variation pattern, when the reach performance is a specific reach performance, an operation validity period is provided during the specific reach performance, and the result display is started when a predetermined operation means is operated during the operation validity period and the performance execution conditions are met. In the aforementioned reach variation patterns, in the reach winning variation pattern corresponding to the winning variation in which the symbols are in the aforementioned specific form, any of several types of result displays in the specific reach performance can be executed, including a revival winning result display and a normal winning result display. In the aforementioned revival win result display and normal win result display, it is possible to execute a movable body effect that involves the movement of a movable body. The aforementioned revival win result display is configured to first execute a losing result animation, then switch the special background back to the normal background, display the normal screen, and then execute the revival win result animation to conclude. The aforementioned normal win result display is configured to terminate by executing the normal win result display without executing the aforementioned loss result display, the aforementioned background restoration display, and the aforementioned normal screen display. The aforementioned losing result display in the aforementioned revival win result display ends by displaying a losing result indicating that the symbols do not form the aforementioned specific configuration. The normal win result display in the normal win result display ends by executing a win display indicating that the symbols are in the specific configuration. In the aforementioned specific reach performance, time adjustments are made so as not to change the end time of the result display even if the start time of the result display changes according to the timing of the operation, in the case of the revival win result display, before the movable body performance and the background return performance and after the execution of the loss display in the loss result performance, and in the case of the normal win result display, after the movable body performance and after the execution of the win display in the normal win result performance. The amount of forward protrusion of the aforementioned protrusion gradually decreases from the central part in the left-right direction towards the hinge part. When the front frame is opened to a predetermined open state relative to the outer frame, the error release operation unit becomes operable from between the outer frame and the front frame. The gaming machine is characterized in that, in the predetermined open state, the error release operation unit is located in front of the front edge of the outer frame, and the entire protruding portion is located inward in the left-right direction from the hinge portion.

Description

This invention relates to amusement machines such as pachinko machines. Pachinko machines and other gaming machines are configured to determine whether or not to award a prize to the player by lottery, and based on the lottery result, they display and change symbols, and if a prize is awarded, they stop the symbols in a specific manner, and during the symbol change, they execute a performance related to the lottery result according to one of several types of change patterns. Furthermore, this type of gaming machine comprises an outer frame fixed to the gaming island equipment, and a front frame attached to the front of the outer frame in a manner that allows it to rotate around a hinge on one end in the left-right direction, for example, the left end. The front frame can be locked to the outer frame by a locking means having a keyhole near the opening and closing end when it is in a closed state with a rotation angle of 0° relative to the outer frame (for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, various control units such as a power control unit and a RAM clear control unit, as well as various display units such as error display units, are located on the back side of the front frame. When performing a RAM clear operation using the power control unit or RAM clear control unit, or when checking the error details using the error display units, the staff of the gaming hall must open the front frame before performing the work.
