On the other hand, from the game control device 200 through the output interface 214, the ordinary symbol display 12
2 and the like, the drive signal of the general-purpose solenoid 315 for opening and closing the ordinary electric accessory, the display control device 40
0, a driving signal of an attacker solenoid (large winning opening solenoid) 314 for opening and closing the big winning opening of the variable winning device 106, a data signal for the discharge control device 300, the decoration control device 500, and the sound control device 600;
Board external terminal (data output terminal) 31 for transmitting data such as occurrence of a big hit to a management device of a game store (not shown)
2 is output.

The display control device 400 includes a control microcomputer (CPU) 421, an interface circuit 422 with the game control device 200, a read-only memory (ROM) 42 for storing control programs and fixed data.
3. a random access memory (RAM) 424 that provides a work area for the control CPU 421 and stores data and display data sent from the game control device 200;
An image display controller (VDC) 425 for driving the display device (special symbol display) 102, a font ROM 426 storing image data to be displayed, a gamma correction circuit 427 for display correction, and data from the RAM 424 to the image display controller 425. DMA controller (DMAC) 42 for DMA (direct memory access) transfer

Control CPU 421 of display control device 400
, Display fluctuation time data and stop symbol data from the game control device 200 via the interface 422,
Display control information such as a stop command is input. When display control information is input from the game control device 200, a reception interrupt is applied to the control CPU 421 from the interface 422, and the control CPU 421 stores the received data (display control information) in the buffer area of the RAM 424 in response thereto. I do. Then, the control CPU 421 analyzes the received data, determines an effect pattern (a collection of continuous display design data) to be fluctuated and displayed based on, for example, the fluctuating time data, and displays a code indicating the design to be displayed, a display position, and a scroll. Commands such as RAM 424
To be stored. The effect patterns are stored in the ROM 423 in advance in the form of a table corresponding to the fluctuation time data.

The image display controller 425 stores a data group corresponding to the above-mentioned effect pattern transferred from the RAM 424 by the DMA controller 428 into the internal RA.
Read and expand to M. Specifically, the character font data stored in the font ROM 426 is read according to the code indicating the design, and the image data to be displayed as the identification information for the special figure game is displayed on the display screen according to the display position data and the command. Is stored in the display image storage area of the internal RAM.

At this time, for a variable symbol such as a number,
A plurality of types of data enlarged or reduced at a predetermined enlargement ratio or reduction ratio are also generated and stored in the display image storage area.

After that, the image display controller 425
The display image data is read from the display image storage area of the built-in RAM and sequentially sent to the γ correction circuit 427 to form a display drive signal of the special symbol display 102. At this time, scrolling for variable display is performed by the image display controller 425 according to parameters such as a command and a scroll speed.
Is performed by changing the start position of the image data to be displayed by the address calculation. Further, the image display controller 425 sends a vertical synchronization signal V-SYNC and a horizontal synchronization signal H-SYNC to the display device 102. The γ correction circuit 427 adjusts the display illuminance of the display device 102 by correcting the non-linear characteristic of the illuminance with respect to the signal voltage of the display device.
As a result, a predetermined display is performed on the screen of the display device 102.

Next, the contents of display control in the display control device 400 will be described.

The display control device 400 performs display control based on the display control information from the game control device 200.
The display control device 400 and the game control device 200 are connected by two control signal lines of a start signal and a strobe signal and eight data signal lines. The transmission is unidirectional to the device 400. Specifically, the game control device 200 outputs data after the start signal is activated, and then activates the strobe signal. Then, the display control device 40
0 detects the rise of the start signal, activates the reception process by interruption, and then fetches the signal on the data signal line at that time in synchronization with the rise of the strobe signal.

The display control information transmitted by the data signal line is roughly classified into “call-in display control information” transmitted when the variable display is not performed, and variable display control (from the start to the stop of the variable display). ), And "variable display effect control information" transmitted at the start of the big hit game.
Thereby, the load on the game control device 200 (the processing load accompanying the increase in the program capacity and the data amount) can be reduced. The display control may be performed by involving the game control device 200.

Further, a specific transmission procedure will be described by taking the transmission of variable display control information as an example. First, the variable time data and the stop symbol data (in the case of three variable areas) are transmitted from the game control device 200 to the display control device 400. , Three data of left, middle and right) are transmitted. Then, the display control device 4
00 starts variable display in response to this. In this case, the display control device 400 stores the sent stopped symbol data in the buffer, and determines whether or not the fluctuating display for starting fluctuating display is based on the fluctuating time data. And with reach,
Determine which reach to perform and determine font ROM 426
The image data stored in the memory is selected and read out, display data is generated, and variable display is started.

In this variable display, the display control device 40
With the control of 0, various symbols are changed, and these symbols are displayed in an enlarged or reduced manner. Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, for example, as shown in FIG. Also, as shown in FIG. 4B, a superimposed display in which the smaller the design is, the higher the display priority is made. Thereby, a novel effect expression that the player does not get tired of can be performed, and the variable display game can be further enlivened. In addition, since the variation pattern itself that the player gazes at is an effect that varies in various ways, the player can enjoy the effect expression without shifting his or her line of sight from the identification information symbol, and can enhance the interest.

It should be noted that the fluctuating design may be any character such as a character, a symbol, a character, etc. in which an animal, a person or the like is used as a motif. Details of how to enlarge and reduce the variable symbols will be described later.

Then, for example, after the fluctuating time and the stop symbol are transmitted from the game control device 200 to the display control device 400, the display control device 400 side changes the time from when the fluctuating time and the stop symbol are sent to the temporary stop state. All the fluctuations are displayed, and a stop command is transmitted to make a final stop state.

If reach is determined from the fluctuating time data, the corresponding image data is selected and fluctuating display is started. Before the fluctuating display is stopped (stop time = fluctuating time data, the fluctuating display device is used). The stop time can be recognized on the side), the left and right symbols are stopped based on the left symbol data and the right symbol data among the symbol data stored in the buffer area in the RAM 424, and a stop command from the game control device 200. Then, when a stop command is transmitted from the game control device 200, the display control device 400 receives this,
Based on the middle symbol data stored in the buffer, the variation display of the variation display area of the middle symbol still varying may be stopped to determine all symbols.

Here, with reference to FIG.
The transition state of the display state in 02 will be described. FIG. 3 is a state transition diagram showing the transition state of the display state, where W indicates a customer waiting state, X indicates a fluctuation state, and Y indicates a jackpot state.

After the power is turned on, first, a demonstration (W) of a customer waiting demonstration is displayed on the fluctuation display device 102.

Then, the game is started, and when there is a winning opening, the variable display (X) is started. Next, if the result of the variable display game is lost and there is no starting memory, a demonstration for waiting for a customer is displayed again. On the other hand, in the variable display state, when the result of the variable display game is lost and there is a start memory, the variable display is repeated.

When a big hit occurs in the variable display state, a big hit display (Y) is performed. In this state, when the big hit ends, a demonstration of waiting for a customer is displayed again. On the other hand, if the big hit display is performed for a predetermined time and there is a start winning memory at the end of the big hit, the variable display is started again.

Next, an example of enlarged and reduced display of a variable symbol will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4A shows a case where the display priority is set higher as the size of the symbol is larger, and the superimposed display is performed. That is, the largest symbol X1 is displayed at the forefront, the second largest symbol X2 is displayed thereafter, and the superimposed display is performed so that the third symbol X3 is further behind the symbol X2. . In this case, it is desirable that a small symbol is completely hidden behind a large symbol so that the visibility is not impaired.

FIG. 4B shows a case in which the smaller the size of the symbol is, the higher the display priority is, and the overlapping display is performed. That is, the smallest symbol Y1 is displayed at the forefront, the second smallest symbol Y2 is displayed after that, and the superimposed display is performed so that the largest symbol Y3 is further behind. Thereby, high visibility of each symbol can be secured.

FIGS. 4A and 4B show a state in which each symbol is stopped and displayed.

Arrows Z1 to Z3 in FIG. 4 (c) show a state in which symbols X1 to X3 and Y1 to Y3 of different sizes, which are enlarged and reduced, are displayed at a high speed in a fluctuating manner (the arrows themselves as shown in the figure). Is not displayed).

In the above display example, each of the symbols may be displayed in a superimposed manner as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B after being moved and displayed in the display area. Only the enlargement / reduction display and the superposition display may be performed without performing the display.

Next, an example of how to determine the enlargement ratio and the reduction ratio of a symbol will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the example of FIG. 5, a perspective reference point P is imagined above the display area 700, and the same size of the left symbol (L) and the middle symbol (M) are the same size below the display region 700 at the same size. , The right symbol (R) is displayed at a high speed (FIG. 5 (a)). In addition,
As in FIG. 4 (c), the arrow indicates a change in the design,
The arrow itself as shown is not necessarily displayed.

In the figure, the line segment H is a boundary corresponding to the horizon, and the hatched portion D indicates a symbol moving display area (identification information moving display area) that spreads from the reference point P in a fan shape.

By providing the symbol movement display area D, the moving range of the identification symbol can be limited, and the player can predict the movement of the symbol to some extent and easily follow the eye, and miss the fluctuation of the symbol. Can be reduced. Further, for example, other effect expressions can be performed in a display area other than the symbol movement display area D, and the effect can be further improved by coordinating the effect expressions and the movement of the symbols.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the display of the symbols (L to R) is set to be smaller as the reference point P is approached. That is, in FIG. 5B, the sizes are set in the order of R>M> L. Thereby, a visual effect based on the perspective can be obtained. Note that the reference point P can be imagined outside the display area 700.

FIG. 6 shows a novel effect expression by changing the positional relationship between the left symbol (L), the middle symbol (M), and the right symbol (R) in addition to the visual effect of the perspective described in FIG. Here is an example of how to do it.

First, in FIG. 6 (A), a perspective reference point P is imagined above the display area 700, and the left symbol (L) and the middle symbol have the same size under the display area 700 at the same size. (M), the right symbol (R) is displayed at a high speed with a normal positional relationship (fixed position).

Next, as shown in FIG. 6A, the size of each symbol is set in the order of M>R> L.
Is moved slightly to the left from the fixed position, the symbol R is moved to the left rear, and the symbol L is moved to the right rear. Note that the display state may immediately shift to the display state of FIG. 6C. For example, when the size of each symbol is R>M> L or L>M>
The display may be changed to the display state shown in FIG. 6C after the display is enlarged or reduced again so as to display R or the like, and the display position is changed. Thus, it is possible to perform an effect expression such that the left symbol (L), the middle symbol (M), and the right symbol (R) move around in the display area D while repeating enlargement and reduction.

Immediately before the end of the variable game, as shown in FIG. 6 (C), the size of each symbol is returned to the same size, and a predetermined positional relationship (in this example, from the left side in this example) is provided below the display area D. R,
(L, M). As a result, the left and right positional relationship of the left symbol (L), the middle symbol (M), and the right symbol (R) does not change, which breaks the conventional concept of the variable game, and the left and right positional relationship of each symbol changes. It can provide innovative productions.

Note that the way of changing the position of the symbol from the fixed position (L, M, R) is not limited to the case of FIG.
(L, M, R), (L, R, M),
(M, L, R), (M, R, L), (R, M, L),
An effect of changing to the positional relationship of (R, L, M) may be performed. In addition, without changing the positional relationship (L, M,
It may return to R).

Also, for example, from (7, 3, 3) to (3, 3)
Performing an effect such as changing from a loss mode to a reach mode as in (3, 7), or changing from a loss mode to a hit mode from (butterfly, boar, deer) to (boar, deer, butterfly) It is also possible.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, an elliptical symbol movement display area (identification information movement display area) E is provided in the display area 700, and a reference point P 'is virtually located substantially at the center of the symbol movement display area E. I do. In FIG. 8A, the left symbol (L), the middle symbol (M), and the right symbol (R) are arranged at substantially the same size in the symbol movement display area E with the reference point P 'substantially at the center. Display at high speed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the distance becomes smaller as approaching the reference point P '. That is, M>
The display is performed such that the sizes are in the order of R> L. Thereby, a visual effect based on the perspective can be obtained.

As described with reference to FIG.
The enlarged display and the reduced display of each symbol may be repeated in the symbol movement display area E, and each symbol is returned to the same size as in the description with reference to FIG. L), the middle symbol (M), and the right symbol (R) may be changed in position and stopped and displayed. Also, FIG.
It is preferable to combine the display example of the symbol in FIG. 6 with the superimposed display similar to that described with reference to FIG. Thereby, a more novel effect can be provided.

Although the invention made by the inventor has been specifically described based on the embodiments, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are illustrative in all points and are limited to the disclosed technology. It should not be considered a thing. That is, the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted in a limited manner based on the description in the above embodiment, but should be interpreted in accordance with the description of the claims.
