Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a pachinko machine or a gaming device such as a pachinko machine and a slot machine.

(Prior art) In this type of gaming device, each device is equipped with a “jackpot” function in order to improve the gameplay, and set conditions, such as a large number of numbers or pictures, are displayed, and these numbers or pictures are displayed. When three of the same pictures line up, or when the number rows form a specific arrangement, a jackpot is awarded and a predetermined number of balls or coins are redeemed. In the event of a jackpot, a melody or voice is emitted to notify the player of the jackpot, and a display lamp is provided at the top of each device, and the lamp flashes to notify the user of the jackpot.

In particular, among gaming devices, pachinko machines have an accessory installed on the device, such as a window or a wing, open for a predetermined period of time and a number of times when a person hits a player, and most of the balls hit hit the open section. If the ball enters the ball, it becomes a prize-winning ball, and the corresponding number of balls are redeemed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above conventional gaming machine, when a jackpot is won, a mood is created that gives the player a sense of superiority or pleasure by notifying the player with a melody or voice and flashing a display lamp. It's exuding. However, these notifications are rather aurally exciting, and are lacking in visual enjoyment.Therefore, when aiming for wholesome entertainment with this type of gaming device, A major problem remains in that it cannot satisfy both the visual and auditory senses.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a specific means for solving the problems of the conventional example, the present invention provides a gaming machine having a jackpot function, with a window-like jackpot display of an appropriate size on the front of the gaming machine. A display unit is provided, and a display device is disposed facing the display unit, and the display device is driven in synchronization with the drive of the jackpot function, and pictures, characters, or both are simultaneously displayed on the display surface, and each The present invention provides a gaming machine characterized in that the displays are different for each drive, and the display screen displayed on the display device of the display section is selected from a display screen that is enjoyable for the player. By displaying the information in the form of a moving image, the visual enjoyment is further increased.

(Embodiments) Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to illustrated embodiments. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pachinko machine, and a game section 2 is provided at the upper front of the pachinko machine, and a guide guide guides pachinko balls to the game section. A rail 3 is arranged, and a ball tray 4 is attached (pulled) to the starting end side of the guide rail. Pachinko balls supplied to this ball tray 4 are aligned in a line with respect to the starting end side of the guide rail 3. It is supplied sequentially to one person, and one
The individually supplied pachinko balls are ejected one by one by a motor driven by a handle 5 and a so-called gun, which is played by the drive of the motor, and sent to the gaming section via the guide rail 3. Hit by 2. 6 is a ball receptacle.

In the game section 2, passages for various balls are formed by a large number of nails 11, and the balls that are hit reach the discharge port 12 through these passages. The ball hits in the middle of the path of these balls,
In other words, a plurality of winning holes 13 are provided for winning prizes,
These winning holes are equipped with ornaments such as a duer lip 14, and the grammar passage is equipped with a windmill 15 that changes the direction of the ball.
There are some useful objects such as.

In particular, as an accessory for winning the jackpot, for example, slot 1
6 is attached, and a window 17 that opens when a jackpot is hit is also attached. Then, the slot 16 is activated when pachinko balls enter some of the specified winning holes 13, and like a normal slot machine,
For example, if the rings arranged in three rows rotate and the same pictures or numbers line up when they stop, you will win the jackpot. This kind of per-person function has various configurations, and is not limited to the above-mentioned slot.

When a jackpot is achieved in this way, the window 17 is opened and most of the balls hit into the gaming section 2 enter this window 17 and make a winning ball. Thirteen redemption balls are redeemed for the winning ball and are discharged into the ball trays 4 and 6.

At the same time, the jackpot indicator light 19 attached to each pachinko machine on the top of the pachinko machine 1, that is, the island 18, flashes.
A melody or a predetermined sound is generated from a sound device (not shown) attached to the back side of the pachinko machine to notify that the player has won the jackpot. These drives are mostly controlled using computers.
This is a pachinko machine used inside the film.

The present invention is characterized in that a pachinko machine having the aforementioned jackpot function is provided with a jackpot display section 20 that can be visually enjoyed. That is, a window-like frame 21 is provided in front of the pachinko machine 1 and at any arbitrary position in the gaming section 2, and a display device 22 is provided facing the frame. The display device used in this case is, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and is arranged so as to be driven in conjunction with or in synchronization with the driving of the jackpot.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the display device 22 is a liquid crystal display device, a connector 23 is provided on the side surface of the display device, and a drive unit that selectively energizes the terminals of the connector to change the surface. 24 is connected, and the drive section may be connected to the window 17 which opens and closes in synchronization with the window 17 when a person wins, or it may be driven based on a signal from a computer when a jackpot is won. It may be configured as follows. The point is that when a jackpot is hit, the display device 22 only needs to display the information when the window 17 is open in synchronization with the window 17, which opens and closes intermittently a predetermined number of times over a predetermined period of time. It would be more fun if the display changed each time it was opened and closed. Therefore, the drive unit 24 drives the display to be different each time it is opened or closed. For example, if the window 17 is 1.
If it opens and closes 0 times, it is sufficient to store a memory (IC circuit) in the drive unit 24 so that 10 different displays can be made, and input from the connector 23 so that a predetermined display can be made sequentially based on the memory. be.

Further, the driving section 24 can also dynamically drive the screen to display a so-called moving image in one display screen. In this case, in order to cause movement within the changed screen at the same time as the screen is changed, for example, a magnetic tape or a magnetic disk may be incorporated and displayed in a moving image in synchronization with the memory. . Note that 25 is an example of a switch for opening and closing the window 17, and either a mechanical switch or an electrical switch such as a diode can be used. Further, although the above description has been made using a pachinko machine as an example, the display device of the present invention can also be applied to gaming machines such as coin-operated pachinko machines or slot machines.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine having a jackpot function, in which a window-like jackpot display section of an appropriate size is provided on the front of the gaming machine, and the display section is provided with a jackpot display section of an appropriately sized window. A display device is arranged to face, and the display device is driven in synchronization with the driving of the jackpot function, and pictures, characters, or these are simultaneously displayed on the display surface, and the display is different for each drive. By configuring the system so as to provide a sound effect, visual enjoyment is added in addition to the sound effects of the conventional example, and furthermore, this type of game has the excellent effect of being able to greatly advance as a wholesome entertainment.

Further, by changing the display on the display device for each drive and displaying it in a moving image, an excellent effect of further increasing the enjoyment can be achieved.
