Some have a structure that allows a player to visually recognize the surface (Patent Document 2).
JP-A-2-57278 (FIGS. 4 to 6) JP-A-10-305140 (FIGS. 2 to 4)

  According to these display devices of Patent Documents 1 and 2, although the composite display is possible by 7 segment LED and dot matrix LED, and it is possible to demonstrate a certain effect, it is unexpected compared to the effect of game machines in recent years. There is a problem that there is little nature and lack of excitement.

  Therefore, an object of the present application is to sufficiently enhance the effect in the display device of the gaming machine.

In order to achieve the above object, a display device for a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a first display capable of displaying information as reflected light by an oblique half mirror, and transmitted light from behind the half mirror. And a second display capable of displaying information as a display, and the first and second displays are in a display state at the same time, thereby enabling a combined display using the reflected light and the transmitted light. A display device for a machine, further comprising the following configuration.
(1-1) A movable body capable of operating on the front side of the second display device is provided in a region on the back side of the oblique half mirror.
(1-2) The movable body is made to stand by at an immersive position where the player cannot visually recognize from the front, and if necessary, is moved from the immersive position to a protruding position where the player can visually recognize from the front. Movable body driving means for performing the operation at a position is provided.
(1-3) In the area | region of the back side of the said half mirror, the illumination means which irradiates the movable body which is performing the said operation from the front lower part of the said movable body is provided.
(2-1) The half mirror is inclined obliquely rearward, the first display is installed so as to emit light downward above the half mirror, and the second display is installed in the half mirror. It was set up to emit light from behind.
(2-2) Movable body rotating means for moving the movable body between the immersion position and the protruding position by rotating the movable body with the movable body driving means, and the movable body rotating means And a movable body operating means for operating the movable body rotated to the projecting position by the projecting position.
(5-1) Rotation provided with a plurality of movable bodies as the movable body, and the movable body operating means includes a cam mechanism that individually contacts each movable body when each movable body is rotated to the protruding position. It is configured as means for causing the plurality of movable bodies to perform different operations by rotating a shaft.

  According to this display device for gaming machines, the movable body driving means always keeps the movable body in a standby position where the player cannot visually recognize from the front. Then, when raising the player's expectation at the time of reach or the like, the player moves from the standby position to a position where the player can visually recognize from the front as necessary, and performs an operation in the back area of the half mirror. At this time, the illumination means irradiates the movable body. Therefore, the light reflected by the moving movable body passes through the half mirror and becomes visible to the player. The operation of the movable body provides a production effect that cannot be exhibited by variable display or telop display on the display. In addition, the lighting means can be lit before starting the movement of the movable body or can be turned on when the movement of the movable body is started, so that it is possible to exert an effect such that a step-up in the symbol combination game is predicted. Conversely, by moving the movable body before turning on the illumination means, it is possible to exhibit an unexpected effect by the movable body appearing slightly like a shadow.

  Here, as a display, it is effective to use a display of a type that itself emits light and changes information, such as a 7-segment LED, a dot matrix LED, a fluorescent display tube, and a liquid crystal display. In addition, the first display may be arranged so as to project information directly to the half mirror, or may be arranged so as to project reflected light using another mirror or half mirror. You can also. In addition, about the indicator which generates the reflected light by a half mirror, it is good to cover with a cover and to prevent reflection of the light to a half mirror. Further, when a 7-segment LED is used as a display for generating transmitted light by a half mirror, it is preferable to mask the periphery of the LED so that the display can be clearly seen.

  In recent gaming machines, in addition to symbol display, effects such as moving a movable body in and out of the symbol display area are performed. However, all of these appear from above or from the side of the symbol display device, and there is nothing that moves up from below. On the other hand, the movable mirror can be configured by moving the movable body from the lower side to the upper side when the movable body is operated by moving the movable body drive means by tilting the half mirror obliquely backward and backward. It is possible to execute a highly unexpected operation in which the rushes up from below.

  With multiple movable bodies, for example, some objects jump up and down, and other things move left and right, etc. Can be planned. For example, when three movable bodies are provided and the central one is swung up and down and the side one is swung left and right, the area behind the half mirror can be effectively used to perform dynamic operation. it can. In this case, the three movable bodies may be changed in size. In particular, based on the direction of movement, the movable body that moves up and down, back and forth, and swings back and forth is small to avoid collision and contact with the half mirror, and the movable body that moves left and right and swings left and right is large. Can be left as From this, it can also be said that a method of determining the operation direction of the movable body from the size of the movable body may be adopted. Moreover, you may make it change the magnitude | size of a some movable body irrespective of operation | movement.

  Moreover, the structure which makes a movable body appear on the back side of a half mirror differs from the manner of appearance of the movable body in the conventional gaming machine in the following points. In other words, as described above, the movable body is made to appear before the illumination means performs irradiation, and then the illumination is applied, so that it is possible to produce an effect that the movable body appears suddenly in the spotlight. In that sense, the display device for gaming machines of each of the above-described inventions can be expected to have a highly unexpected presentation effect that has not existed before. On the other hand, in the case of moving up without lighting, an unprecedented presentation effect called “sign” can be exhibited.

  In addition, the operation of the movable body in the display device for gaming machines of each invention described above is not limited to the above-described swinging, but sliding, turning, and further appearing / inverting itself are effective effects.

  In gaming machines, generally, since a start port is disposed below the display device, a player usually keeps a line of sight between the display device and the start port. Therefore, for example, when a movable body is provided on the upper portion of the display device, even if the movable body operates, the operation may not be noticed. However, in the present invention, in particular, by adopting a configuration in which the half mirror is arranged in a backward tilted state and the movable body appears from below, the player does not miss that the movable body has been operated, thereby producing an effect. The effect can function effectively. In addition, although such a movable body appears from below, it is possible to prevent the game ball from colliding with the movable body by the half mirror, and the movable body does not suffer damage such as wear. Therefore, it is possible to employ a movable body that is highly decorative and performs complex operations.

In addition, in the display device for game machines of each invention mentioned above, it is good to further provide the following structures.
(6-1) The movable body, the movable body driving means, and the illumination means are unitized, and the unit is configured to be detachable from the bottom surface of the housing of the display device via an elastic engagement member.

  With the above-described configuration, it is possible to exert a production effect that makes the user feel the depth of the rows arranged in rows and columns.

  Here, in the circle lens 80, since the LED substrates 85L and 85R are thinly curved and assembled in a semicircular shape, there is a problem of disconnection of electrical components such as LEDs and resistors. Therefore, in the manufacturing process, when the solder is not on or when the amount of the solder is small, an orange color (copper color) that is the background color of the substrate is made visible. Then, a good / bad determination was made based on whether or not the orange color was visible using an image determination device. In addition, in the LED boards 85L and 85R, the amount of solder is increased and the length of the electric parts is also longer than that of a normal circuit board. By such a device, the problem caused by bending in a semicircular shape is solved.

  Next, the effect display by the information display device 3 of the present embodiment will be described. The effect display is basically executed by the fluorescent display unit 20, the 7-segment LED display unit 30, and the movable body unit 40. As an aspect of effect display, as shown in FIG.

  In the case of the effect of aspect 1, the symbol variation state by the full-color 7-segment LED 35 is displayed in the state as shown in FIG. Further, in the production of the aspect 2, as shown in FIG. 18C, for example, a “reach” telop is displayed by the fluorescent display tube 23 in front of the symbol variation display (FIG. 18A) by the full-color 7-segment LED 35. Display (FIG. 18B) is displayed in a superimposed manner). These effects are based on symbols only.

  On the other hand, in the production of the aspect 3, the production movable bodies 42L, 42C, and 42R suddenly appear from the symbol variation state by the full-color 7-segment LED 35, and the illumination LEDs 48L, 48C, and 48R are turned on to turn on the spotlight. Be in a bathed state. Since this state is an effect by the movement of the object, it gives a fresh surprise to the player. Further, the production movable bodies 42L, 42C, and 42R appear so as to rise from below, so that the player does not miss the appearance. Furthermore, it is completely different from the conventional pachinko machine that appeared as if the movable body descended from above, giving a very fresh impression.

  Further, in the effect of aspect 4, in addition to the above surprise, the lighting movable bodies 42L, 42C, and 42R that are exposed to the spotlight start to dance when the lighting LEDs 48L, 48C, and 48R are turned on. Moreover, since the operation is a swinging operation using a spring, it is a three-dimensional movement, not a planar one. Also, the three bodies do not move the same, but move differently. As a result, players are increasingly expecting.

  On the other hand, in the effect of aspect 5, the symbol variation state by the full-color 7-segment LED 35 is dimmed for a moment, and the effect movable bodies 42L, 42C, and 42R appear as if the shadows move slightly, giving the player a sense of expectation. It gives an unfortunate and unexpected effect.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described effects, an effect that makes the depth of the profound impression feel by turning on, blinking, and changing the color of the circle lens 80 is also executed. As a result, the player can enjoy a game that transcends time and space like playing in a ghostly world that is not found in conventional pachinko machines.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, an effect that gives a fresh and deep impression of playing in the mysterious world, an effect that gives a dynamic feeling due to a dynamic action by a movable body, and an unexpected incident caused by a light-up of the movable body A novel and fresh performance effect, such as production, which is not found in conventional pachinko machines, is demonstrated, and a pachinko machine with even higher gaming properties can be provided.

  Although one embodiment as the best mode for carrying out the invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

  For example, a liquid crystal display device is used as the first display and the second display, both are the same type of display, or various types of displays are used as long as they emit light. Can do.

  In addition, the first display unit and the second display unit can be modified to include only one of them. In this case as well, freshness, novelty, and dynamics can be achieved by combining with an unprecedented presentation that the movable body appears from below.

  Moreover, the aspect of the production is not limited to the above-described aspects 1 to 5; for example, in the aspects 3 to 5, the 7-segment LED display unit 30 is turned on, but the light is dimmed. May be. In this case, in modes 3 and 4, the operating status of the effect movable bodies 42L, 42C, and 42R can be seen more clearly. Furthermore, for example, the effect of turning off the illumination of the movable body unit 40 in the state of the aspect 5 is adopted not only for the appearance of the shadow but also for the performance of the present invention as a new effect that the shadow moves further. It is possible.

  Moreover, the movable body for production | presentation can also be comprised by single or multiple. Furthermore, when there are three production movable bodies, for example, the left movable body is swung left and right, the center movable body is swung up and down, and the right movable body is swung back and forth.
