DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine which uses a plurality of display means having lottery rotary plates provided with identification symbols such as letters, numbers and pictures, and plays with the identification symbols of the plurality of display means aligned. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a display device provided in a game machine such as a pachinko machine, a slot machine, and a rotamint, various devices using a plurality of drum-shaped or disk-shaped rotating bodies have been proposed.
It is widely used.

For example, in a slot machine, three rotating drums that rotate about the same axis are provided side by side, and identification marks such as letters, numbers, and pictures are provided on the outer peripheral surface of each rotating drum at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. Is provided by printing or the like.

Further, in the rotamint machine, a plurality of disk-shaped rotating plates provided with identification symbols such as letters, numbers and pictures at regular intervals in the circumferential direction in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the front surface, and a plurality of rotating plates. An indicating member arranged in front of the plate and indicating the facing identification symbol among the identification symbols attached to the rotating plate as a valid identification symbol, and an identification symbol indicated by the indicating member by rotating the rotating plate. The display device which can change is adopted.

On the other hand, recently, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-99
No. 483, at least one of the three rotating drums is concentrically arranged inside and outside 1
It is composed of a pair of rotating drums, a transparent window is provided at a specific portion of the outer rotating drum, and when this transparent window moves to the front,
A display device for a gaming machine, in which the rotating drum on the inner side is rotated to re-draw lots of identification symbols visible from the see-through window, so that a variety of displays can be provided without increasing the size of the rotating drum. Proposed.

[0006]

By the way, the display device using the rotary drum is widely used in slot machines and pachinko machines, and various improvements have been made since it is most popular at present. At present, a display device using a plate is hardly practiced at present, and a technique for re-lotting an identification symbol like a drum-type display device has not been established.

An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can double the fun of a game while employing a display device using a rotating plate.

[0008]

The applicant of the present invention has concluded that a display device using such a rotating plate has a larger front surface size than a display device using a rotating drum, but has a smaller depth size. Since it can be installed in the same row as a pachinko machine without providing a dedicated corner like a slot machine, for a pachinko store, the degree of freedom in the layout inside the store can be expanded, and equipment economically Focusing on the advantage, the present inventors have made intensive studies on the improvement of a gaming machine using a rotating plate having such advantages, and have come to invent the present invention.

A gaming machine according to a first aspect of the present invention has a plurality of disk-shaped lottery rotating plates provided with identification symbols such as letters, numbers, and pictures at regular intervals in the circumferential direction near the outer periphery of the front surface. Display means, and a plurality of indicating means having an indicating portion for indicating one or more identification symbols among the identification symbols attached to the lottery rotary plate, at least one indicating means,
And a plurality of variable indicating means that can change an identification code to be specified without rotating the lottery rotary plate.

In this gaming machine, when an identification symbol is indicated by the variable instruction means, a lottery method in which only the lottery rotary plate is rotated, a lottery method using the variable instruction means, and a lottery method combining the two. With the three types of lottery methods, the identification symbol to be designated can be selected by lottery, so that the lottery method can be varied to increase the player's expectation,
It is possible to double the fun of the game.

For example, when the identification symbol specified by the first lottery is a so-called reach state in which all the identification symbols are aligned when the remaining one identification symbol is aligned, the irregular identification symbol is specified. If the instructing means to be performed is a variable instructing means, the lottery using two different kinds of lottery methods can be enjoyed in one game by re-lotting the identification symbol by a different lottery method from the first lottery method. This makes it possible to increase the expectation of the player and to double the fun of the game. In the case where a plurality of variable instruction means are provided, by changing the lottery method of the identification symbol for each variable instruction means, it is possible to change the game content without changing the configuration of the gaming machine itself. .

In the present specification, "lottery" means that the control means of the gaming machine automatically stops the lottery rotary plate and the variable instruction means at a predetermined timing using a random number or the like, and designates an instruction to give an instruction. This includes both a case where the symbol is determined and a case where the player operates the stop button to forcibly stop the lottery rotary plate and the variable indicating means by his / her own will to determine the identification symbol to be specified.

Further, in this gaming machine, since a disc-shaped lottery rotary plate is used, the gaming machine can be made small in the front-rear direction, and its thickness is set to be substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine. Because it is possible, it becomes possible to attach this gaming machine to the support frame without making a significant change to the support frame of the pachinko machine, and the degree of freedom in the layout of the inside of the game facility such as a pachinko store increases, It can easily and inexpensively deal with renovations.

Further, this gaming machine may be made playable with coins as in the case of the slot machine. However, if it is configured to be able to play using pachinko balls, the gaming machine can be used as it is by using the equipment of the pachinko machine. It becomes possible to install machines, and it becomes possible to mix pachinko machines and this gaming machine on the same island.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, at the time of the first lottery, the lottery rotation is performed in a state where the identification symbol of the closest position where the identification symbols of the plurality of lottery rotary plates are closest is designated by the instruction means. The lottery of the identification symbol is performed by rotating the plate.

When performing a lottery using the variable display means, it is necessary for the player to follow the identification symbols sequentially instructed by eyes, but such an operation may be a heavy burden on the player. On the other hand, it is possible to set so that re-drawing is always performed in one game. However, usually, after performing the first lottery, the designated identification symbols are arranged in a predetermined arrangement. At the time of the first lottery, the identification symbol of the closest position is indicated, and only the lottery rotary plate is rotated to perform the identification symbol lottery at the time of the initial lottery. This eliminates the need to move the viewpoint greatly, thereby greatly reducing the burden on the player.

Further, at the time of re-lotting, it is preferable to fix the lottery rotary plate and to change the identification code indicated only by the variable instruction means in order to align the remaining one identification code. In this case, it is possible to adjust the viewpoint to the necessary identification symbol on the lottery rotary plate and stop the variable instruction means so that the identification symbol is indicated, so that the burden on the eyes of the player can be reduced. .

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the gaming machine, wherein the variable instruction means is provided with an instruction rotator rotatable around the same axis as the lottery rotary plate in front of the lottery rotary plate. Is used to change the identification symbol to be instructed by rotating.

[0019] Such a rotary member for instruction that is moved by a mechanical mechanism is preferable because it is more familiar and less tiring than a display device such as a liquid crystal display. The indicator rotating body has a shape like a clock hand, a shape like a magnifying glass that allows the identification symbol to be seen through, a mark indicating the identification symbol on a transparent disk, and a frame surrounding the identification symbol. Can be adopted.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine, the lottery rotary plate and the instructing rotary body on the front side thereof can be driven to rotate independently in mutually opposite directions. The lottery rotary plate and the instruction rotary body may be rotated in the same direction,
By rotating in the opposite direction, the display can be changed to double the fun of the game.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine, as the variable indicating means, an illuminating means capable of individually illuminating an identification symbol behind the lottery rotary plate is fixed to the machine frame, and the illumination of the identification symbol to be indicated is provided. And the illuminations of the other identification symbols are made different from each other, and the different identification portions can be moved to change the designated identification symbols.

In this gaming machine, the indication form of the identification symbol using the variable indication means is changed, so that it is easy to improve the fun of the display. Specifically, the color difference and the brightness of the identification symbol to be illuminated are changed, the identification symbols to be instructed are alternately or alternately arranged, or the illumination is randomly illuminated, and the speed of change of the illumination is adjusted. Thus, the display form of the identification symbol can be changed to improve the display fun. In addition, since the number of mechanical devices is reduced, problems such as failures are less likely to occur.

[0023]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the gaming machine 1 is basically a display device that displays a lottery state and a lottery result of identification symbols such as letters, symbols, numbers, and patterns by three sets of lottery means 2. 3, a detecting means 4 for detecting inserted coins, a payout means 5 for paying out coins, various switches for playing a game, and a control means 6 for controlling these means. . still,
In the figure, all of the identification symbols are not specifically shown, but are printed inside the area 7 indicated by ○, for example, as “☆”. Further, the lottery means 2 may be provided in a number other than three, or may be provided on a display means 11 such as a liquid crystal display means 11.
It is also possible to use it together with the lottery by.

The three sets of lottery means 2 are a display means 11 having a disc-shaped lottery rotary plate 10 having identification symbols attached at regular intervals in the circumferential direction in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the front surface, and a lottery rotary plate. An instruction means 12 for instructing one or a plurality of identification symbols out of the identification symbols attached to 10 is provided, but the instruction means 12 of the left and right lottery means 2 involves rotation of the lottery rotary plate 10. The variable identification means 12A is capable of changing the identification symbol to be specified without any change, and the instruction means 12 of the central lottery means 2 is constituted by fixed instruction means 12B for fixedly indicating the identification symbol. The variable instructing means 12A and the fixed instructing means 12B can be provided at an arbitrary ratio according to the number, layout, and the like of the lottery rotary plates 10,
It is also possible to configure all the instruction means 12 with the variable instruction means 12A.

The lottery rotary plate 10 of the three display means 11
Is provided with the rotation axis in the front-rear direction so that the rotation center is located at the apex of an isosceles triangle having a horizontal base, and the left and right lottery rotary plates 10 are located forward of the central lottery rotary plate 10. The lottery rotary plate 10 at the center is arranged so that a part of the outer edge of the rotary plate 10 is wrapped forward and backward on the left and right adjacent rotary plates 10 for lottery. The arrangement of the lottery rotary plate 10 in this manner is preferable because the identification symbols of the three display means 11 can be brought close to each other and can be instructed by the instruction means 12, and the instructed identification symbols can be easily seen. However, the lottery rotary plate 10 can be provided at an arbitrary position. For example, the left and right lottery rotary plates 10 can be arranged behind the central lottery rotary plate 10, or three rotary shafts can be provided. The lottery rotary plates 10 may be arranged so as to be aligned on the same straight line. Further, the three lottery rotary plates 10 may be configured to have the same size or different sizes.

The three lottery rotary plates 10 are configured to be independently rotatable by driving means such as a stepping motor. The rotation speed and the rotation direction of the lottery rotary plate 10 may be set to be the same or may be set to be different. In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which the speed changes halfway in order to change the rotation.

The identification symbols to be printed on the three lottery rotary plates 10 are preferably basically the same or mutually related identification symbols, since the characters, symbols and patterns are aligned in the game. However, a special identification symbol that can be commonly used for any identification symbol may be provided.
The arrangement of the identification symbols attached to the three lottery rotary plates 10 may be set to be the same or may be set to be different. Further, the identification symbol may be attached to all portions at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, or a part of the loss where the identification symbol is not printed may be partially formed.

The instructing means 12 will be described. In front of each lottery rotary plate 10, an instructing rotary plate 13 is arranged concentrically with and in parallel with the corresponding lottery rotary plate 10.
The instruction rotary plate 13 is made of a light-weight transparent plate or a transparent member formed by attaching a transparent film to a frame, and is formed to have substantially the same size as the lottery rotary plate 10 facing the same. As described above, it is preferable that the instructing rotary plate 13 is made transparent so that the identification symbol of the lottery rotary plate 10 can be seen through, but it is also possible to use a translucent or opaque member.

The indication rotary plate 13 has a frame-shaped indication portion 14.
Is formed by printing so as to face the identification symbol attached to the lottery rotary plate 10, and the identification symbol arranged inside the indicator 14 is displayed in the indicator 14 as the designated identification symbol. The shape of the indicator 14 may be any shape as long as it is possible to determine the identification symbol instructed. For example, an indicator such as an arrow may be formed.

Although the number of the indicating sections 14 can be set arbitrarily, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, one is provided for each of the indicating rotating plates 13 so that a winning determination line L is provided. In the case of one line, as shown in FIG. 5, one instruction portion 14 is provided on the center instruction rotating plate 13 and three instruction portions 14 are formed on the left and right instruction rotating plates 13 to form a winning determination line. L
Is the most standard configuration.
When an opaque plate member is used as the instruction rotary plate 13, a through hole is formed in the instruction rotary plate 13 and this can be used as it is as the instruction portion 14, or a transparent synthetic resin can be used in this through hole. The indicator 14 is constructed by assembling a film or the like. In the case where a plurality of winning determination lines L are provided, the instruction rotating plate 13 is provided with one variable instruction unit 12A.
Are provided so as to be rotatable, and each of the instruction rotary plates 13 can be independently driven to rotate.
May be configured to indicate different identification symbols by the indicating unit 14. That is, in the case where a plurality of instruction portions 14 are formed on the instruction rotary plate 13, when the instruction rotary plate 13 is rotated, for example, for re-lotting as described later, which instruction portion 14 It is difficult to tell if the symbol should be located. For this reason, it is preferable that only the indicating unit 14 that needs to align the identification symbols be rotated together with the indicating rotating plate 13 to perform a re-lottery.

Instruction rotary plate 13 of variable instruction means 12A
Are provided so as to be rotatable independently by driving means such as a stepping motor, and the instruction rotating plate 13 of the fixed instruction means 12B is non-rotatably fixed to a machine frame or the like. In other words, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a part of the center rotary plate 10 for lottery is hidden by the rotary plates 10 for lottery and the indicating unit 14 moves to the hidden portion, which identification is performed. Since it is not possible to confirm whether or not the symbol is instructed, the central indicating means 12 is constituted by the fixed instructing means 12B in which the instructing rotary plate 13 is made unrotatable, Is constituted by variable instruction means 12A which can be driven to rotate.

However, when a part of the lottery rotary plate 10 other than the center is hidden, the instruction rotary plate 13 corresponding to the lottery rotary plate 10 is fixed. When the three lottery rotary plates 10 are laid out so as not to be wrapped back and forth, all the rotary plates 13 for instruction may be driven to rotate. It is to be noted that the instructed identification symbol is somewhat difficult to see, but the instructing means 12 corresponding to the lottery rotary plate 10 in which a part is hidden can be constituted by the variable instructing means 12A.

Further, the instruction rotary plate 13 of the variable instruction means 12A is configured to be controllable independently of the lottery rotary plate 10, and, like the lottery rotary plate 10, its rotation speed and rotation direction can be arbitrarily set. It can be set, or the speed may change during rotation.

The instruction rotary plate 1 of the fixed instruction means 12B
By omitting 3, the indicating member for indicating the identification symbol may be directly fixed to the machine frame or the front glass, or the indicating portion 14 may be formed by printing on the inner surface of the front glass. In addition, instead of the instruction rotating plate 13 of the variable instruction means 12A, a magnifying glass-shaped instruction rotating body 15 is provided as shown in FIG. 6, or an arrow-shaped instruction rotating body is provided as shown in FIG. These instruction rotators 16 may be configured to be rotationally driven.

Since the instruction rotating plate 13 is fixed, the lottery is performed by rotating only the lottery rotating plate 10. However, the following three types of lottery methods can be considered for the left and right lottery means 2. Any of the three types of lottery methods will be adopted. However, the right lottery means 2 and the left lottery means 2 can be selected by different lottery methods. (1) A method in which only the rotary plate for lottery 10 is rotated to perform a lottery. (2) A method in which only the instruction rotary plate 13 is rotated to perform a lottery. (3) A method in which the lottery rotary plate 10 and the instruction rotary plate 13 are rotated to perform a lottery.

The lottery is thus performed, and the three instruction means 12
When the identification symbols of the lottery rotary plate 10 indicated by the instruction unit 14 are aligned, coins are paid out from the payout means 5 to the tray 25 by the number of times corresponding to the identification symbols. When specific identification symbols, for example, “☆”, “☆”, and “☆” are aligned, a state in which the identification symbols are easily aligned a certain number of times, a so-called big hit or small hit game state is set.

In the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, the following re-lottery control is performed in addition to the basic control as described above. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, [1] one of the left and right lottery means 2 and the same lottery means 2 in the center have the same identification symbol (“☆” in the figure), and [2] the remaining one lottery means 2 Is "3"
In the case of a different identification symbol such as, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the instruction rotary plate 13 of the lottery means 2 is rotated to re-select the remaining one identification symbol. However, at this time, the lottery rotary plate 10 may be rotated together with the instruction rotary plate 13 or only the lottery rotary plate 10 may be rotated. However, basically, the lottery rotary plate 10 is rotated by a different lottery method from the initial lottery method. It is preferable to perform a lottery because the interest of the display can be doubled.

[3] On condition that the stop button 22 corresponding to the re-lottery means 2 is operated, the instruction rotary plate 13 is stopped. In the same manner as described above, the number of games is increased by the number corresponding to the identification symbol, or a large hit or small hit game state is set.

However, the re-lottery control may be configured as follows. That is, in the re-lottery control [1], the jackpot or small hit identification symbol and the other identification symbols are treated in the same manner, but the re-lottery is performed only when two jackpot or small hit identification symbols are aligned. May go. At the time of re-lottery, the probability that the identification symbols are aligned may be set higher. Further, when one of the identification symbols drawn by the left and right lottery means 2 and the identification symbol drawn by the central lottery means 2 reach the arrangement pattern of the stage before the jackpot, the so-called reach, The identification symbol may be re-drawn.

In [2] of the re-lottery control, the discrimination is performed by rotating the instruction rotary plate 13 as it is on condition that another discrimination symbol such as "3" is stopped as the remaining one discrimination symbol. The symbol was re-drawn by lottery. If the remaining one of the identification symbols is another identification symbol such as "3", the instruction rotary plate is provided on condition that the coin is inserted again and the start lever 21 is operated. 13 may be rotated to re-select the identification symbol.

Further, in [3] of the re-lottery control, the instruction rotary plate 13 is stopped on condition that the stop button 22 is operated, but a switch for stopping the instruction rotary plate 13 is separately provided. Alternatively, the indication rotary plate 13 may be automatically stopped after a certain period of time, and the identification symbol may be determined.

Next, another embodiment of the variable instruction means 12A will be described. The same members as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The variable instructing means 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, a disk-shaped back frame 31 is disposed in parallel with and coaxially with the lottery rotary plate 10 behind the rotary plate 10 for lottery. The back frame 31 is provided with illuminating means 32 for illuminating the identification symbols from behind in correspondence with the identification symbols of the lottery rotary plate 10. The illumination unit 32 corresponding to the specified identification symbol and the illumination unit 32 corresponding to the other identification symbol have a difference in illumination so that the specified identification symbol can be determined. Specifically, by turning on lights having different emission colors, giving light and shade to the lights, and switching between turning on and off the lights, it is possible to differentiate between the identification symbols to be designated and those that are not. Become.

As the lighting means 32, an incandescent lamp or an LE
