Next, the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row displayed on the symbol display device 2 will be described. FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 are diagrams illustrating the rotation variation of the symbol A in the first symbol row and the symbol B in the second symbol row. FIGS. 3 and 4 show a display mode in which symbol “7” is rotated and displayed as symbol A, and symbol “7” is rotated and displayed as symbol B. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the symbol A is “8”.
Is rotated and “8” is rotated and displayed as the symbol B. 3 to 6, symbols A in the first symbol row are indicated by oblique lines (hatching), and symbols B in the second symbol row are indicated by dot patterns. In this embodiment, the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row are used.
The type of symbol displayed as is the number "1",
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7",
Ten types of "8", "9", and "0" are provided.
Further, in the present embodiment, if the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row are the same type of symbol, the symbol A of the first symbol row is replaced with the symbol A of the second symbol row. It has a size including the design B completely inside.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged front view showing a symbol A of the first symbol row and a symbol B of the second symbol row. The symbol A of the first symbol row fluctuates around the first rotation axis.
In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the vertical center line of the first symbol row is used as the first rotation axis. Further, the symbol B in the second symbol row fluctuates around the second rotation axis. In the embodiment, the horizontal center line of the second symbol row is used as the second rotation axis as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, 1a → 1b → 1c → 1d → 1e →.
i → 1j → 1k → 11 → FIG. 4 → first as shown in FIG.
The symbol A of the symbol row of FIG. 1 fluctuates around the first rotation axis, and the symbol B of the second symbol row fluctuates about the second rotation axis. Also, in FIGS. 5 and 6, 2a in FIG.
2b → 2c → 2d →... → 2f → 2g →... → 2i → 2j → 2k → 2l → FIG.

The symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row are displayed in a three-dimensional manner so that the thickness can be recognized. In particular, when the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row fluctuate around their respective rotation axes, the thickness of the symbol is clearly recognized (for example,
3c of FIG. 3).

The display position of the first symbol row and the display position of the second symbol row are such that the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row overlap each other during rotation fluctuation. It is displayed at the position that matches. In the present embodiment, the display position of the first symbol row and the display position of the second symbol row are set to be displayed at the same position (substantially in the center of the display screen) on the display screen.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the symbol A
And the symbol B are displayed such that the symbol portion displayed relatively rearward when viewed from the player side is hidden by the symbol portion displayed on the near side.

From the above description, in the case of the present embodiment,
Since two symbols of the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row are displayed at the same position, the first rotation axis which is the rotation axis of the first symbol row and the second symbol are displayed. The second rotation axis which is the rotation axis of the symbol row is in a positional relationship orthogonal to the second rotation axis. For this reason,
The manner in which the symbol A and the symbol B are superimposed during rotation fluctuation will fluctuate so as to give the player a more complicated feeling. For this reason, the player can enjoy a sense of visual perception that the symbols slip through each other (the walls slip through) at the overlapping portion of the symbols, and together with the posture of the symbols, for example, loosen the circle of wisdom. I feel so interesting.

Next, a symbol A (hereinafter simply referred to as symbol A) of a first symbol row and a symbol B (hereinafter, symbol A) of a second symbol row in the symbol display section 3a are associated with the game board surface 1 of FIG. The symbol variation caused by the symbol B will be described.

When the pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening 5,
A winning detection signal by the winning detection switch SW1 provided in the symbol starting port 5 is sent to the main control device 11, and accordingly, the symbol display and the symbol B change display is started on the symbol display section 3a, and the symbol A is rotated in the first rotation. The left side of the symbol rotates and fluctuates around the axis (the vertical center line of the first symbol row) in the direction toward the front side, and the symbol B becomes the second rotation axis (the horizontal center line of the second symbol row). The rotation of the symbol fluctuates in the direction in which the upper portion of the symbol comes to the near side (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

At the time of detecting the winning of the pachinko ball into the symbol starting port 5, the value of the random number for big hit determination is stored by the main control device 11, and the value of the stored random number for big hit determination at the start of symbol change. It is read, and it is determined whether it is a big hit or a loss with respect to the symbol variation started this time,
By a random value for a fluctuation pattern and a random value for a stop symbol corresponding to each of a case of a big hit and a case of a hit, a stop symbol for a hit and a stop symbol for a change pattern or a loss pattern. A variation pattern is determined.

The rotation speed (variation speed) of each of the symbols A and B is changed to a high speed for a while (until the set time elapses) from the start of the symbol rotation, and then to a medium speed when the set time elapses. It switches to medium speed until the time elapses, then to low speed when the set time elapses, and stops from low speed when the set time elapses.

The shift of the symbol during the rotation fluctuation is determined by the symbol A
And both symbol B and 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8
Perform in the order of → 9 → 0. As for the symbol A, when the orientation of the symbol becomes the attitude facing the front during the rotation fluctuation (when the right side of the symbol becomes the orientation facing the front, or when the left side of the symbol faces the front) (It does not matter in which case the posture is turned toward). For example, the symbol A in the first symbol row rotates to the posture shown in 1d in FIG. 3, at which point the symbol shifts to the next symbol, and then the symbol A in FIG.
2e. Further, for example, the symbol A in the first symbol row rotates to the attitude shown in 1j in FIG. 4, and at this time, the symbol shifts to the next symbol, and then becomes the attitude shown in 2k in FIG.

As for the symbol B, during rotation fluctuation,
When the posture of the symbol becomes the posture in which the lower surface of the symbol faces front (or the posture of the symbol may be the posture in which the upper surface of the symbol faces front), the process shifts to the next symbol. For example, the symbol B in the second symbol row rotates to the attitude shown in 1d in FIG. 3, and at this time, the symbol shifts to the next symbol, and then becomes the attitude shown in 2e in FIG. Also, for example,
The symbol B in the second symbol row rotates to the position shown by 1j in FIG. 4, at which point the symbol shifts to the next symbol, and then the symbol B in FIG.
The posture shown in FIG.

The order of stopping the symbols A and B is determined by the symbol A
May be stopped after stopping symbol B, symbol A may be stopped after symbol B is stopped, or symbol A and symbol B may be stopped simultaneously. In the present embodiment, for the sake of explanation, the symbol B is stopped after the symbol A is stopped.

After the symbol A and the symbol B start to change, when the change time of the symbol A according to the determined change pattern elapses, the symbol A first stops at the determined stop symbol.
Next, when the fluctuation time of the symbol B according to the determined fluctuation pattern has elapsed, the symbol B stops at the determined stop symbol.

The display mode of the success / failure (big hit / miss) of each symbol A, B by the stop symbol will be described. The symbol A faces the front and stops, then the symbol B faces the front and stops. When the symbol of the symbol A and the symbol of the symbol B are the same symbol, a big hit occurs. That is, 1a in FIG. 3 or 2a in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the symbol of the symbol A and the symbol of the symbol B stop at the same symbol (the symbol A stops at "7" and the symbol B stops at "7" in 1a in FIG. 3 and the symbol in 2a in FIG. 5). A stops at "8" and the symbol B stops at "8". When the symbol B is completely included in the symbol A (the completed symbol in the present embodiment), a big hit occurs.

On the other hand, in the variation display mode of the symbol that is lost, the symbol A is stopped facing the front, the symbol B is stopped facing the front, and the symbol of the symbol A and the symbol of the symbol B are the same symbol. If not (the case where the symbol A is different from the symbol B), this is a basic variable display mode in which the symbol is lost. Also, as another variable display mode that is out of order,
If one of the symbol A and the symbol B does not stop in the posture facing the front, and stops in the posture in the middle of rotation, it will be missed. The variable display mode that results in a loss may be such that the symbol A and the symbol B do not become completed symbols when the symbol finally stops.

Further, as a variation of the variation pattern in which the big hit / losing is finally recognized by the display mode of the stop symbol, the symbol may be changed again. For example, first, the symbol A faces the front and stops, and then the symbol B
Is temporarily stationary (in other words, it may be facing the front or in the middle of rotation instead of the front) (in other words, temporarily stopped), and the symbol of the symbol A and the symbol of the symbol B do not become the same symbol, The player is made to think that the symbol B has come off at the moment of stopping, and the symbol B is rotated again to stop the symbol B. As described above, after the symbol A is stopped, the symbol B is temporarily stopped, and the symbol B is changed again.

When the symbol B is changed again, a pattern in which the symbol B is rotated and changed in the same direction as the rotation direction until the symbol is temporarily stopped (in a direction in which the upper portion of the symbol is inclined toward the front side) and a symbol in which the symbol B is temporarily stopped Pattern B in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation (in the direction in which the lower part of the symbol rises toward you)
And a pattern in which the rotation is changed is provided so that the degree of expectation of a big hit (the probability of stopping at a completed symbol) is higher in the direction in which the rotation of the re-change is opposite than in the same direction. According to this, it is possible to further increase the degree of interest and to add a thrilling feeling to increase the degree of excitement.

Various changes can be made to the rotation variation display mode by the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row shown in the embodiment. In the embodiment, the first rotation axis, which is the rotation axis of the symbol in the first symbol row, and the second rotation axis, which is the rotation axis of the symbol in the second symbol row, are orthogonal to each other. However, the change of the superposed portion due to the rotation of the symbol becomes very complicated and gives an interest, in combination with the posture of the symbol during rotation, so that the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis May intersect at any angle (for example, 30 degrees or 45 degrees).

Further, the first rotation axis, which is the rotation axis of the symbol in the first symbol row, and the second rotation axis, which is the rotation axis of the symbol in the second symbol row, are rotated during the rotation. Parallel or at the same position and on the same axis (for example, as the vertical center line of the first symbol row) at an interval of the degree of overlapping, and the symbol A is centered on the rotation axis (vertical center line of the symbol row), and the left part of the symbol May rotate in the direction in which the symbol B comes to the near side, and the symbol B may rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the symbol A (the direction in which the right side of the symbol comes to the near side). In particular, in the case where the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are in the same position and the same axis, the symbol A is displayed on the left side of the rotation axis, and the symbol is displayed on the right side, together with the attitude of the symbol being rotated. B is visually recognized as divided, and the change in the superimposed portion due to the rotation of the symbol gives a very interesting taste.

FIG. 8 shows that the first rotation axis of the first symbol row and the second rotation axis of the second symbol row are the same axis (the first symbol row and the second symbol row). FIG. 3 is a front view showing an aspect of a horizontal center line). Further, FIG. 9 simulates from the rotation axis direction that the rotational fluctuation speeds of the symbol A of the first symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row are different from each other in the arrangement relationship of the symbol rows of FIG. FIG. Further, FIG. 10 shows the first relationship in the arrangement relationship of the symbol rows in FIG.
FIG. 7 is a side view schematically showing, from the rotation axis direction, that the temporary stop timing during the rotation fluctuation of the symbol A of the symbol row and the symbol B of the second symbol row are different from each other.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first rotation axis of the first symbol row and the second rotation axis of the second symbol row have the same position and the same axis, that is, the first rotation axis. In the mode in which the symbol row and the second symbol row are horizontal center lines, the rotation direction of the symbol A in the first symbol row is the same as the rotation direction of the symbol B in the second symbol row (upper side of the symbol). (In the direction in which the part comes to the front side), the speed of the rotational fluctuation of the symbol A of the first symbol row and the speed of the rotational fluctuation of the symbol B of the second symbol row are made different from each other, so that Are superimposed on each other. FIG. 9 shows an example in which the symbol A rotates at 45 degrees / second and the symbol B rotates at 90 degrees / second which is twice the speed of the symbol A. During the rotation of the symbol A, it is possible to enjoy the visual sense that the symbol B slips through the symbol A (walls pass through).

As shown in FIG. 10, the first rotation axis of the first symbol row and the second rotation axis of the second symbol row have the same position and the same axis, that is, the first symbol. In the aspect where the horizontal center line of the row and the second symbol row is the same, the rotation direction of the symbol A of the first symbol row is the same as the rotation direction of the symbol B of the second symbol row (the upper part of the symbol). Is the direction in which the symbols come to the near side), during the rotation fluctuation, even if the timing of the temporary stop of the first symbol row and the timing of the temporary stop of the symbol B of the second symbol row are made different from each other, A superimposed display mode can be realized. In FIG. 10, symbol A rotates 45 degrees from the upright posture and temporarily stops, and while symbol A is once stationary, symbol B rotates 90 degrees in the same direction as symbol A from the upright posture. And then temporarily stop. In this case as well, it is possible to enjoy the visual sense that the rotating symbol B passes through the stationary symbol A from the rear side of the symbol A (passes through the wall).

Also, in the embodiment, the symbol rows displayed on the symbol display device 3 are only two rows, the first symbol row and the second symbol row. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
Since it is a requirement that the symbol of the first symbol row and the symbol of the second symbol row are superimposed, another symbol row may be provided on the display screen or separately from the symbol display device 3.

For example, a symbol row, which is conventionally widely known for performing scrolling of symbols, is a third symbol row, and this symbol row is provided in the display screen of the symbol display device 3 separately from the symbol display section 3a. A configuration in which a hit or miss due to a symbol change is displayed by a symbol in the third symbol column (designated as symbol C in the description), a symbol A in the first symbol column, and a symbol B in the second symbol column. I do. In this case, for example, the symbol C of the third symbol row
First, the symbol A of the first symbol row is statically displayed, and then, when the symbol C and the symbol A become the same symbol, it is determined that a reach has occurred, and the symbol A of the rotating second symbol column is displayed. The symbol B is displayed with the same symbol as the symbol C and the symbol A at rest, and the symbol A is displayed.
When a complete symbol is completed with the symbol B and all symbols are fixed and stopped, a big hit is determined.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the content of the privilege which is advantageous to the player is described as the big hit. However, the content of the privilege is not limited to the big hit and may be a game mode which is advantageous to the player. As a benefit, it may be appropriately selected and applied. Examples of such benefits include, for example,
There are other benefits such as probability fluctuation and time reduction, and these benefits may be selected and given as benefits. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the symbols in the first symbol row and the second symbol row are described as special symbols, but the present invention is not limited to special symbols, and may be applied as ordinary symbols.

According to the configuration of the first aspect, the symbols in the first symbol row rotate and fluctuate around the first rotation axis, and
The symbol of the symbol row rotates around the second rotation axis, and the symbol of the first symbol row and the symbol of the second symbol row are configured to overlap with each other. A novel fluctuating display mode can be provided, thereby attracting the player's interest, and it is possible to recognize whether or not the superimposed symbol forms a completed symbol as a predetermined display mode. You can enjoy interesting games.

According to the structure of the second aspect, the symbols of the first symbol row and the symbols of the second symbol row are displayed in three dimensions, and they are superimposed on each other during rotation fluctuation, so that the player side Since the symbol part displayed relatively behind when viewed from above is displayed so as to be hidden by the symbol part displayed on the front side, the player can use the symbol in the first symbol row and the symbol in the second symbol row. And the thickness of each of the symbols can be recognized, and the manner in which the symbols of the first symbol row and the symbols of the second symbol row are superimposed during rotation fluctuation is given a more complicated feeling, and the superposed portion of the symbols is It is possible to enjoy a sense of visual recognition as if the symbols slip through each other (through the wall), and it feels very interesting together with the attitude of the symbols being rotated.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the first rotating shaft which is the rotating shaft of the symbol in the first symbol row and the second rotating shaft which is the rotating axis of the symbol in the second symbol row. Intersects with each other, the change of the superimposed portion due to the rotation of the symbol becomes very complicated, and gives an interesting taste.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the first rotating shaft which is the rotating shaft of the symbol in the first symbol row and the second rotating shaft which is the rotating axis of the symbol in the second symbol row are provided. Are the same axis, so that the symbols pass through each other from the front to the back or from the back to the front at the overlapping part of the symbols (they pass through the wall)
You can enjoy such a sense of visual recognition and feel interesting.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the speed of the rotational fluctuation of the symbol of the first symbol row and the symbol of the second symbol row and / or the timing of the temporary stop during the rotational fluctuation are different from each other. Due to the difference, the change of the superimposed portion due to the rotation speed of the symbol and / or the change of the superimposed portion due to the timing of once stationary during the rotation fluctuation become very complicated and rich in change, giving an interest.
