Patent ID: 6998805

Claim:
A motor stop control device for a rotating reel type gaming machine that includes a motor having two pairs of excitation phases as a driving source of a reel, the reel having a plurality of symbols drawn thereon, the motor stop control device comprising: a deceleration transmission mechanism that transmits the rotation of the motor to rotating shafts so that the reel is rotated at a predetermined speed reduction ratio; motor stop control means for performing stop control of the motor through two-phase excitation; and a vibration-suppressing member that dampens vibration of the reel that occurs when the rotation of the reel is stopped by the stop control of the motor stop control means, wherein the motor is a stepping motor, wherein the deceleration transmission mechanism has an output-side gear provided on a driving side of the stepping motor and an input-side gear disposed at the reel such that the input-side gear is in contact with the output-side gear and coaxial with the rotating shaft of the reel, and wherein the vibration-suppressing member is an oil damper having a base portion in which an oil is charged and a rotating portion having a gear which is in contact with the input-side gear, and a rotating force of the rotating portion is moderate by the oil charged in the base portion.
