[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a light emitting element which emits red light, a light emitting element which emits green light, and a light emitting element which emits blue light. And a control unit for selectively controlling each of the light-emitting elements in accordance with a game state, and a light-emitting color of the light-emitting means is a predetermined light-emitting color. In this case, a technical means of giving a predetermined profit to the player is used.

That is, the respective light emitting elements are integrally combined, and the control means selectively controls the respective light emitting elements according to the game state, so that the light emitted from the selected light emitting elements is mixed. Together, it can produce light of various colors. For example, as described in claim 3, red,
Colors other than green and blue can be generated. For example, when a light emitting element that emits red light and a light emitting element that emits blue light are selected to emit light, purple light is generated, and a light emitting element that emits green light and a light emitting element that emits blue light are selected. When light is emitted, yellow light is generated, and three light emitting elements, a light emitting element that emits red light, a light emitting element that emits green light, and a light emitting element that emits blue light, are selected.
When a person emits light, white light is generated. Further, by controlling the luminance, the light emission time, and the like of each light emitting element, light of various colors other than the above colors can be generated. Therefore, the player only needs to remember the color of the light emitted in the case of hitting the light emitting means.
Since it is not necessary to remember the lighting pattern of, the lottery result is easy to understand. In addition, a colorful effect can be performed by the light emitting means, so that a gaming machine that can harmonize with the image of the entire game board can be realized.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, a plurality of the light emitting means are provided, and when a light emitting color of each light emitting means is a combination of predetermined light emitting colors. The technical means of giving the predetermined profit to the player is used.

In other words, since a plurality of light-emitting means are provided, it is possible to create many combinations of light-emitting colors by making the light-emitting colors of each light-emitting means different. If a predetermined profit is given to the player when the combination is a predetermined combination, the effect can be enhanced, and the fun can be increased.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, a technical means is used in which the light emitting means is integrated into one chip.

That is, since the light emitting means is formed as a single chip, the mounting space for mounting the light emitting means on the substrate can be reduced.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, a game board and a plurality of symbols provided on the game board are provided at a plurality of locations. A symbol display means for performing a variable display in
It is provided on the game board, and has a character that can be changed between a state where the game ball is difficult to win and a state where the game ball is easy to win,
Each of the light-emitting elements is controlled by the control means based on a game ball passing through a predetermined area provided on a game board, and the accessory is configured such that a light-emitting color of the light-emitting means is a predetermined light-emitting color. In some cases, the game ball changes to a state where it is easy to win,
The symbol display means is a means for variably displaying the plurality of symbols based on a game ball winning the bonus, and a big hit occurs when a predetermined symbol is displayed by the symbol display means. Is used.

When the light emission color of the light emitting means is a predetermined light emission color, the character changes to a state in which a game ball easily wins, and when the game ball wins the character, the symbol display means displays a plurality of symbols. A large hit occurs when a predetermined symbol is displayed by variably displaying each part. Therefore, as the number of times that the light emission color of the light emitting means becomes the predetermined light emission color increases, the number of times the role changes to a state where the winning ball easily wins increases, and the number of times the game ball wins the role increases. As a result, the number of times the symbol is fluctuated and displayed by the symbol display means increases, so that the probability of a big hit occurring increases. That is, the result of the lottery by the light emitting means is directly linked to the probability of a big hit, and is therefore very important for the player. However, since the conventional light emitting means is a black-and-white display in which the three LEDs are turned on and off as described above, there is a problem that it is difficult to attract the attention of the player and it is difficult to understand the lottery result. However, since the light-emitting means according to the present invention displays the lottery results in light-emitting colors, it is easy to attract the attention of the player and to easily understand the lottery results. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to overlook important lottery results.

[Effects of the Embodiment] (1) As described above, if the pachinko machine 1 of the above-described embodiment is used, a plurality of colors can be normally displayed by the symbol display devices 33, 33. Depending on the combination of colors, it is possible to determine the hit and the loss of the symbol normally. Therefore, the player, as in the prior art,
It is not necessary to remember the combination of lighting and extinguishing of D, and it is possible to perform an effect using colorful light, so that harmony with the entire game board can be achieved. Moreover,
Ordinarily, it is also possible to increase the number of hits or losing combinations of symbols. That is, it is possible to realize a pachinko machine capable of increasing the fun. (2) In addition, the number of LEDs of the ordinary symbol display device, which conventionally required three, can be reduced to two or one. In particular, each of the light emitting elements 92 to 94 that emits three primary colors of light
Are integrated into one chip. Therefore, since the mounting space on the LED board for mounting each light emitting element can be reduced, the degree of freedom of design on the game board can be increased.

(3) Also, since the corner decoration 11 is integrally formed of a transparent resin, the
Less time-consuming than assembling corner decorations by combining resin members colored red, yellow, orange, etc. (4) Further, since the surface of the corner LED substrate and the game board 5 around the surface of the corner LED substrate at least in a range visible through the corner decoration 11 are colored white, the design of the corner LED substrate and its periphery is designed. Harmony can be achieved and the color of light emitted from each LED 90 can be enhanced. Furthermore, while the game area inside the rail has a colored pattern, the outside of the rail is a white area, which makes a good contrast between the game area and its surroundings, and makes the game area stand out. . (5) Further, since the corner decoration 11 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin, the recycling rate is higher than that of the colored one at the time of recycling, so that the resources can be effectively used.

<Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 10A is an explanatory diagram showing an enlarged upper portion of a center case 30 used in the pachinko machine of this embodiment. The pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is characterized in that the number of times of change of the ordinary symbol can be finely displayed by gradually changing the color. A seal 38b is attached around the display window 38a of the determination device 38. The sticker 38b indicates a change in color, and changes from clock 12 o'clock to clockwise in the order of white → orange → green → yellow → blue. Between the colors, the color gradually changes, starting from white and reaching 1 at the point where the color becomes completely blue.
Go around.

For example, as described in the first embodiment, when the number of times of the change of the ordinary symbol due to the time reduction is determined to be 50, the judging device 38 first turns on all the three light emitting elements of the LED 90. As the white color is displayed, and the number of times of the change of the ordinary symbol increases, the determination device 38 gradually changes the display color to orange, and when the number of changes reaches about ten times,
The blue light emitting element 94 is turned off and the red light emitting element 92 and the green light emitting element 93 emit light to display a complete orange color. Subsequently, when the number of fluctuations increases, the display color gradually changes from orange to green, and when the number of fluctuations reaches 20, the red light emitting element 92 is turned off and only the green light emitting element 93 emits light to completely emit green. indicate. Subsequently, when the number of changes increases, the display color gradually changes from green to yellow. When the number of changes reaches 30, the red light emitting element 92 is turned off, and the green light emitting element 93 and the blue light emitting element 94 emit light. Displays full yellow. Subsequently, when the number of fluctuations increases, the display color gradually changes from yellow to blue, and when the number of fluctuations reaches 50, the green light emitting element 93 is turned off and only the blue light emitting element 94 emits light to completely blue. indicate.

[Effects of the Second Embodiment] As described above, if the pachinko machine 1 of the second embodiment is used, the judgment device 38
By gradually changing the display color, it is possible to give a fine notification of the number of changes in the ordinary symbol. Therefore, as in the past, in a pachinko machine that displays the number of fluctuations on the special symbol display at the beginning of entering the time reduction, it was not possible to know the remaining number of fluctuations (or the number of fluctuations already completed) during the game. According to the pachinko machine 1 of the above embodiment, the approximate number of times of change can be known from the beginning to the end.

Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a modified example of the center case 30.
The pachinko machine according to the third embodiment is characterized in that the normal symbol start storage number and the special symbol start storage number can be respectively displayed by the light emission colors of the LEDs. As shown in FIG. 11, a natural winning prize hole 31 is provided at the top of the center case 30, and below the natural prize opening 31, a normal pattern in which three monochromatic LEDs are arranged in a horizontal direction. A display device 34 is provided. Of the three LEDs, the left and right LEDs are red light emitting LEDs, and the central LED is a green light emitting LED. At the lower right of the center case 30, there is provided a normal symbol storage display window 35b for displaying the number of ordinary symbol start storage. Further, on the left side, a special symbol storage display window 36b for displaying the special symbol start storage number is provided.

Then, illustration is omitted.

When the game ball passes through the normal symbol operated right gate 25 or the ordinary symbol operated left gate 26 (FIG. 2), each LED of the ordinary symbol display device 34 is turned on and off in a predetermined pattern. In this embodiment, only the left LED is turned on and stopped as shown by-(-indicates off), the left and right LEDs are turned on and stopped as--, There are four types: a case where only the right LED is turned on and stopped as in-●, and a case where only the center LED is turned on and stopped as in-●-. And, for example,
When the vehicle stops at-●-, a losing occurs, and when the vehicle stops at any of the other three types, a hit occurs, and the ordinary electric accessory 28 opens both wings. When the game ball passes the normal symbol operated right gate 25 or the ordinary symbol operated left gate 26 while the ordinary symbol display device 34 is operating, the fact of the passing is stored in the RAM 116 (FIG. 8) as the ordinary symbol start memory. You. Also, when the game ball passes through the first type starting port 27 or the prize wins on both open wings of the ordinary electric accessory 28 when the special symbol is changing, the fact of the passing is stored in the RAM 116 (FIG. 8). It is stored as a special symbol start memory.

The numbers of the normal symbol start memory and the special symbol start memory stored in the RAM 116 are indicated by colors generated by the LED 90 of the normal symbol memory display board 35a and the LED 90 of the special symbol memory display board 36a, respectively. For example, when the storage number is “1”, the LED 9
The red light-emitting element 92, the green light-emitting element 93, and the blue light-emitting element 94 all emit light to display white. When the stored number is “2”, the red light emitting element 92 and the green light emitting element 93 emit light to display orange. further,
When the stored number is “3”, the red light emitting element 92 and the blue light emitting element 94 emit light to display purple. Further, when the stored number is “4”, the green light emitting element 93 and the blue light emitting element 94 emit light to display yellow. Then, the player recognizes the number of the normal symbol start memory and the special symbol start memory based on the displayed color.

[Effects of the Third Embodiment] As described above, if the pachinko machine of the third embodiment is used, the number of ordinary symbol start memories and special symbol start memories can be reduced by one LED 90.
Can be displayed according to the color generated by. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the mounting space of the LED for displaying the stored number, as compared with a conventional pachinko machine in which the stored number is displayed by turning on four LEDs. For this reason, the degree of freedom in designing the center case 30 and the like can be increased by the amount of space required for mounting the LED.

<Other Embodiments> (1) The configuration of the determination device 38 can be applied to a device that displays the number of times a special symbol has changed. In this case, the player can identify the number of times the special symbol has changed by the emission color of the LED 90. (2) When the remaining number of changes reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 times), the lighting of the LED 90 is changed to a blinking display, so that the player can be notified that the number of changes is small. (3) FIG. 10B is an explanatory view showing a modified example of the center case 30 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10B, the display window 38a is divided in the circumferential direction (for example, into 12 equal parts), and the LEDs 90 are arranged inside the divided regions 38c, respectively, so that the number of times of the change of the special symbol or the ordinary symbol is changed. As the number of LEDs increases, the LEDs 90 may sequentially emit light of different colors, and the number of changes may be displayed based on the color of the emitted light. (4) The seal 38b shown in FIG.
A number indicating the number of changes may be displayed (printed, sticked, etc.) around each area 38c shown in FIG. According to this configuration, the number of times of change can be known more clearly.
