Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine and a display device applied to the game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a pachinko machine, which is a kind of gaming machine, which can provide a great benefit to a player by shifting to a special game, for example, by opening a variable winning device. . This kind of pachinko machine is usually
It is common to provide a symbol display device and a starting port. The symbol display device is constituted by, for example, a liquid crystal display having three display areas, and is capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols in each display area. The starting port is a trigger for variably displaying the symbol display device, and includes a game ball detection switch.

[0003] In this pachinko machine, when a game ball wins at the starting port, the symbol display device starts variable display upon detection of winning of the game ball by the detection switch. When a predetermined variable time has elapsed since the start of the variable display, the symbols are sequentially stopped and displayed in the respective display areas. At this time, when the three symbols stopped and displayed in each display area are aligned,
It becomes a special game with a big hit, and for example, a variable winning device that is normally closed is opened.
As a result, the number of winnings in the variable winning device becomes large in a short time, and prize balls are paid out for each winning, so that an extremely large profit can be given to the player.

In the symbol display device, when the two symbols already stopped coincide with each other and the remaining one is aligned, the above-mentioned jackpot is attained. In a so-called reach state, the variable display speed of the symbol is changed. By changing the display mode from the normal state, the player is notified of the reach state, thereby further improving the playability. Furthermore, even before the above-described reach state is determined, the display mode of the symbol display device is changed in the same manner as in the reach effect, and thereafter, the reach state is created on the symbol display device with a higher probability than normal, and the result is obtained. Inform the player of the advance notice of the reach state.

[0005]

By the way, in order to realize the above-mentioned game, the basic structure of the gaming machine must be common, and the symbols displayed on the symbol display device are slightly different. Despite this, it is difficult to make a clear differentiation from other gaming machines.

Under these circumstances, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of gaming machines which are trying to differentiate by impressing a player with a display displayed on a powerful screen by increasing the size of a symbol display device.

However, such an increase in the size of the symbol display device, on the other hand, causes the flow-down area of the game balls in the game area to be greatly reduced, so that the game balls simply flow down through the same flow path. This also leads to the result of impairing the original gaming performance of the gaming machine, such as "enjoy the change of the movement of the gaming ball". In addition, since the size of the game area is determined to some extent, there is a limit in increasing the size of the symbol display device, and simply increasing the size of the screen does not lead to clear differentiation.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a gaming machine display device and a gaming machine capable of clearly distinguishing the gaming machine from other gaming machines without deteriorating its original playability. Is the task to be solved.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a display device for a game machine, comprising a first display means and a second display means, wherein the display viewing area of the first display means is changed. The first display means and the second display means are disposed so as to be relatively movable.

[0010] In this case, it is preferable that the second display means is movably disposed in the front area of the first display means so as to increase or decrease the display viewing area of the first display means. It is further preferable that the second display means is provided in each of the first and the second display means and the second display means is moved in the left-right direction. In addition, it is preferable that the second display means includes a guide means for regulating a flowing direction of the shot game ball.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the first display means and the second display means capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols respectively.
A special state advantageous to the player when the symbol stopped and displayed on the second display and the symbol stopped and displayed on the first display have a predetermined combination. A gaming machine which has a structure in which the first display means and the second display means are relatively movably arranged so as to increase or decrease the display viewing area of the first display means, and satisfy a predetermined condition. While the display is not being performed, the display visible area of the first display is reduced, and if the above condition is satisfied, the variable display of the first display is increased with the display visible area of the first display increased. To do.

Numeral 11 is a part for mainly controlling the pachinko machine main body. That is, the main body control CPU 511 monitors the output signal from the winning ball detection switch 71 provided in the winning ball processing device, and outputs the output signal given from the winning ball detection switch 71 and the game control CPU 501 described above. The drive signal of the winning ball processing solenoid 72, the winning ball payout device 73, and the like is controlled based on the output signal. Although not shown in the figure, the launching device for game balls is also under the control of the main body control CPU 511.

Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described.
The pachinko game will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the variable winning device 20 is in a first winning state in an initial state. In addition, the special symbol display device 10
In FIG. 2, the rotary actuator 140 stops in a properly rotated state, and as shown in FIG. 2A, the pair of movable bodies 100 are occupied at the concealed position where the display surface of the first display unit 12 is covered. Shall be

In this pachinko machine 1, a game ball hit by operation of an operation handle (not shown) is guided by a guide rail 3 above a game area 4 of a game board 2, and guide nails 5, life nails 6, and guides are provided. The nails 7, the control nails 8, the obstacle nails, and the windmills sequentially flow down the game area 4 while appropriately changing the direction.

At this time, since the movable body 100 of the special symbol display device 10 is occupied at the concealed position as described above, the game balls distributed to the left and right by the armor portion 14 are arranged on the front side of the main base 11. It is possible to flow down a portion located outside the movable body 100.
In addition, the game balls distributed to the left and right by the armor portion 14 reach the guide means 120 of each movable body 100,
After branching into a part between the movable body 100 and the regulating nail 8, the guiding nail 7 further branches into a part exhibiting a movement involving the starting means 30 and a part flowing down as it is. It becomes possible to fully enjoy whether or not the game ball wins the starting means 30. That is, when the movable body 100 of the special symbol display device 10 is occupied in the concealed position, the main base 11
It is also possible to secure the flow-down area of the game ball on the front side of the game device, and it is possible to sufficiently guarantee the original game performance of the game machine such as "enjoy the change of the movement of the game ball".

During this time, when a game ball flowing down the game area 4 wins the starting means 30, and when this is detected by the special figure starting switch 31, a process for extracting a random number from the random number generating means 504 by the game control CPU 501 is executed. Is done. The random numbers extracted here include at least those for determining whether or not the symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 10 will be a jackpot to be described later, and whether to create a reach state to be described later. Things.

During this time, the game balls that have won the starting means 30 are taken into the back side of the game board 2, and then the winning balls are individually processed by the winning ball processing device. That is, when the entered game ball is guided to the winning ball processing device,
The game balls are individually detected by the winning ball detection switch 71, and the detection result is given to the main body control CPU 511. The main body control CPU 511 to which the detection signal is given from the prize ball detection switch 71 determines the number of prize balls based on the detection signal from the special figure start switch 31 and sends the prize ball corresponding to the prize ball number to the player. The prize ball payout device 73 is driven to pay out. When the payout of the winning ball is confirmed by the winning ball confirmation switch 70, the winning ball processing solenoid 7 is operated.
2 is driven, and the game ball is discharged outside the machine.

When a random number is extracted from the random number generation means 504, a control signal corresponding to the extracted random number is sent from the game control CPU 501 to the first display means 1 of the special symbol display device 10.
2, output to the second display means 110 and the rotary actuator 140, and desired display control is performed in the special symbol display device 10. The display control performed by the special symbol display device 10 is such that, after a symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined variable time on each of the first display means 12 and the second display means 110, for example, the second display means on the left side as viewed 110, second display means 1 on the right side as viewed
10 and the first display means 12 in order.
This is control processing until symbols 0 and 12 are stopped and displayed one by one.

If the random number extracted from the random number generating means 504 does not correspond to a jackpot and does not create a reach state, the rotary actuator 1
40 is not driven, that is, the movable body 100 does not move, and after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the variable display, symbols are displayed on the second display means 110 and the first display means 12 in the order described above. Is stopped and the game returns to the normal game again. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2A, the symbol stopped and displayed on the first display means 12 is such that only a part thereof can be visually recognized from the mutual gap of the movable body 100 occupying the concealed position. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, a reduced display may be made so as to match the mutual gap of the movable bodies 100, so that the player can be clearly notified. For example,
In the case of performing a so-called re-lottery in which all the symbols are temporarily stopped and then the variable display is restarted again, it is preferable to apply the display method shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the extracted random numbers create a reach state, first, the random numbers coincide with each other in the state where the variable display of the first display means 12 is continued. The symbols are stopped and displayed, and the player is notified of the reach state. Then, immediately, the rotary actuator 140 is appropriately driven, and as shown in FIG.
00 is displaced to the open position where the display surface of the first display means 12 is opened, and stops as it is.

In this state, the first display means 1 previously covered by the pair of movable bodies 100
Since the display surface of No. 2 is suddenly greatly opened, this itself has a great impact on the player. Moreover, the display viewing area of the first display means 12 reaches several times (about six times in the illustrated embodiment) while each of the second display means 110 keeps displaying the stopped symbols. In other words, since the display visual recognition area of the symbol as the special symbol display device 10 is physically greatly enlarged, the display mode on the first display means 12 can be made various and more gorgeous. It is possible to display a variety of reach effects. As a result of these,
According to the above-mentioned pachinko machine 1, it is possible to impress the player with a clear difference from other gaming machines, and to achieve differentiation.

Further, when the extracted random numbers correspond to the jackpot, after the display of the reach effect is completed, the same symbol as the symbol of the second display means 110 is stopped and displayed on the first display means 12. After that, it shifts to a special game. In this special game, the variable winning device 20 which is closed at the normal time passes for a predetermined period, for example, 30 seconds, or the winning count switch 24 detects ten game balls.
The second winning state is set as one round until either of the above is achieved, and it is possible to update up to 16 rounds each time the continuation switch 25 detects a game ball during this round. Therefore, the number of winnings in the variable winning device 20 becomes large in a short time, and it is possible to give a great deal of profit to the player.

During the special game, according to the pachinko machine 1, the first display means 12 and the pair of second display means 110 which are widely opened are used, and a variety of functions which cannot be expected from the conventional ones. By performing a special effect display, it is possible to further excite the special game, and it is possible to remarkably enhance the interest of the player, and the impression given to the player becomes extremely strong.

In addition, even when the movable body 100 is occupied at the open position in the above-mentioned reach state or special game, the game balls distributed to the left and right by the armor portion 14 are:
The guide means 120 of each movable body 100 guides the guide nail 7 and further causes a movement entangled with the starting means 30, and the movement of the movable body 100 may greatly change the flow path of the game ball. Absent. For this reason,
Even in the reach state or special game, if the player operates the operation handle in the same way as usual, it is possible to aim for a continuous special game, and the sense of expectation is extremely large . If a game ball wins the starting means 30 while the special symbol display device 10 is performing variable display, a predetermined limit number, for example, up to four, is stored and reserved, and thereafter, the special symbol is stored. The variable display of the special symbol display device 10 may be sequentially performed at the time when the variable display on the display device 10 is completed or when the special game is completed, by the number of times corresponding to the number of start storages. In this case, it is preferable to notify the player of the number of start memories by a lamp or the like.

When the above-mentioned special game is completed, the rotary actuator 140 is appropriately driven based on a control signal from the game control CPU 501, and the pair of movable bodies 100 return to the concealed position. Hereinafter, the above-described processing is repeatedly executed, and the pachinko game proceeds.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1, the first
The display device includes a display unit 12 and a second display unit 110, and the second display unit 12 is configured to increase and decrease the display viewing area of the first display unit 12.
Since the special symbol display device 10 in which the display recognition area of the symbol is physically changed by moving the display unit 110 in the left-right direction is applied, first, the first display unit 12 is hidden. In this case, a downflow area of the game ball can be secured also on the front side of the main base 11, and the original gaming performance of the game machine such as "enjoy the change of the movement of the game ball" can be guaranteed. . On the other hand, when the first display means 12 is opened, a great impact can be given to the player at that time. further,
After the symbol display viewing area has physically expanded,
In the subsequent reach production and special game production, it is possible to display more colorful and varied displays through the powerful screen, and the impression given to the player becomes strong. As a result, it is possible to provide a pachinko game that has never been provided to a player, and it is possible to achieve a clear differentiation from other pachinko machines.

In the above-described embodiment, a pachinko machine is exemplified as a gaming machine. However, as long as the gaming machine has a display device, it can be applied to other machines such as a pachislot machine. is there.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display device having only one first display means and a pair of second display means is illustrated. However, the number of the first display means and the number of the second display means is not limited. There can be any number of at least one. Although a liquid crystal display is exemplified as the first display means, it is not always necessary to apply a liquid crystal display.
For example, it may be an electric display means using a CRT or a lamp / LED, or a plurality of symbols drawn on the peripheral surface of a rotating drum. When an electric display is used as the first display, it is not always necessary to use a dot matrix type, but a segment type may be used. Similarly, the second display means does not need to be based on a light-emitting segment, and may use other means such as a dot matrix type liquid crystal display.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display viewing area of the first display means is changed in the reach state, but the condition for changing the display viewing area of the first display means is as follows. Others may be used. For example, the display viewing area of the first display unit may be increased while both the first display unit and the second display unit are performing variable display, and then a reach state may be created with a higher probability than normal. Then, it is possible to notify the player of the reach notice. Further, when the variable display of the second display unit is stopped, the display viewing area of the first display unit may be always increased. Note that, even when the display visual recognition area of the first display means is reduced most, the display visual recognition area is slightly left, but it is also possible to completely cover and hide the display visual recognition area.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, only the second display means is moved, but only the first display means may be moved, or both may be moved together. It is also possible. Also, the moving direction does not need to be linear in the left-right direction, but may be linear in the vertical direction or the front-rear direction, or may be rotated around a predetermined axis. When both the first display means and the second display means are moved, their movement directions may be the same or different from each other. Further, as a mode of movement of the display means, the display means is moved so as to selectively occupy two positions of the concealing position and the open position, but may be occupied at a plurality of positions therebetween. I do not care.
In this case, for example, if the occupied position of the display means is shifted to the reach state or the special game, if the occupied position of the display means is changed to the reach state or the special game, the state is shifted to the reach state or the special game with a different probability thereafter. It leads to that. Although the movement of the display means is completely stopped in a state where the display viewing area of the first display means is reduced or increased, the display means may be constantly moved. In addition, although a rotary actuator is shown as an example of an actuator for moving the display means, a direct-acting actuator such as a solenoid can be applied.

[0047]

As described above, according to the present invention, the first
The display device includes a display unit and a second display unit, and the first display unit and the second display unit are relatively movably disposed in such a manner that the display viewing area of the first display unit is changed. . Therefore, in a state in which the display viewing area of the first display means is reduced, a flow-down area of the game ball in the game area can be sufficiently ensured, and there is no possibility that the original gaming performance of the gaming machine is impaired. On the other hand, in a state where the display visual recognition area of the first display means is increased, it is possible to give a great impact to the player by itself, and to utilize the increased powerful display visual recognition area. It is possible to carry out various effects that are gorgeous and varied, and it is possible to clearly differentiate from other gaming machines.
