GAMING MACHINE AND MOBILE ELEMENT USED FOR THIS

摘要

A gaming machine capable of allowing a mobile element to smoothly run even in a corner section by using a plurality measuring lines provided at a constant pitch with reference to the inner circumference of a circuit. A gaming machine (2) comprising a gaming machine body (10) having a plurality measuring lines (36) arranged at a constant pitch PTm in the longitudinal direction of a circuit (35) with reference to the inner circumference of the circuit (35), and a mobile element (30) able to automatically run on the circuit (35), wherein the mobile element (30) is provided with a measuring line detecting unit (52) having a plurality of detectors (60) arranged in a longitudinal direction at a constant pitch PTms to respectively be able to detected measuring lines (36), and the mobile element (30) is controlled in its running on the circuit (35) based on the detection results. The pitch PTm of the measuring lines (36) on the inner circumference of the circuit (35) is set to be integral multiples of the pitch PTms of the detectors (60), and a product of the number of detectors (60) and the pitch PTms of the detectors (60) is set to be larger than the maximum pitch PTout of the measuring lines (36) on the outer circumference of the circuit (35).
