With such a configuration of the pachinko machine 1 centering on the first display device 24 and the first display device 26,
For example, it is possible to display a symbol as described below.

Here, a symbol containing a single digit (0-9, hereinafter referred to as "symbol element") is adopted as the symbol. In addition, the fixed display of the symbol in a specific mode (special display)
Is performed, a special game state advantageous to the player occurs, and the symbol is made to correspond to the game content. Furthermore, the fixed display of the symbol is performed after the variable display, and the variable display is based on the winning in the symbol starting port 50, that is, by receiving or receiving the detection signal from the game ball sensor at the back of the symbol starting port 50. The first display device 24 performs continuous display (including blinking) of numbers (types of large design elements) on the basis of storage of generated winning information, and the second display device 2
In FIG. 6, it is assumed that a moving image display (including a temporary stop) of numbers is performed.

Further, the variable display and the fixed display can be distinguished. In particular, the variable display does not change the type (number) while changing the symbol element independently or in association with other symbol elements. Are displayed one after another or are operated and displayed, and the final display is a complete and complete stop display over a certain period of time. In addition, the special game state includes the opening of the special winning opening 52 a predetermined number of times, and employs a state in which the symbol is not displayed in a variable manner or the symbol is not confirmed. Such an operation is executed by a command issued by the various control devices 18, and in particular, the display of the symbol is executed by the symbol display board 44 interpreting the instruction.

Basically, in the second display device 26, three symbol elements (upper symbol elements) are arranged in the upper display area 42, and two symbol elements (lower symbol elements) are arranged in the lower display area 42. Elements), and one symbol element (one digit number, large symbol element by 7-segment method) is arranged in the vertical lighting portion 28 and the horizontal lighting portion 30 in the first display device. Then, as a variable display, after operating all the symbol elements, etc.,
The symbol elements related to the upper display area 42 are stopped and displayed in order. The stop display includes a mode in which the symbol elements swing in the same type.

If at least one of the upper symbol elements is displayed in a different type, the remaining symbol elements are stopped and displayed relatively quickly.
Complete the confirmation display that does not correspond to the special display. After the confirmation display, the display is maintained or the next variable display is performed. On the other hand, when all of the upper symbol elements are arranged, the lower symbol elements are displayed for a relatively long time in a variable display (reach display). The reach display is performed in various modes such as deforming the design element, enlarging or reducing the design element, and attaching a character. Reach display is mainly performed when two of the upper symbol elements are stopped and displayed in the same type, and one of the elements is variably displayed.

Further, when the lower symbol elements are arranged in the same kind, the large symbol elements are fluctuated and displayed for a relatively long time. And
When the type of the stop display of the large symbol element matches the type of the lower symbol element, a special game state is generated. That is, the upper symbol element is aligned, and the lower symbol element and the large symbol element are aligned as a special display, and the symbol is displayed in a special display.
The occurrence of the special game state is notified to the player. In the special game state, the special winning opening 52 is opened by the solenoid, and the payout of the game ball is performed according to the detection signal from the game ball sensor at the back. A large number of game balls can easily enter the special winning opening 52 depending on the arrangement and size of the special winning opening 52. Therefore, the special game state including the opening of the special winning opening 52 is advantageous to the player.

On the other hand, when the following design elements are not aligned,
If the large symbol element does not match the lower symbol element, the special display state is not generated and the confirmed display is completed. In addition, the type of stop display of each symbol element or the type of fixed display is
The determination is made in accordance with the random number acquired by the random number acquiring means such as a loop counter reference step built in the control device 18. Similarly, the types of other displays such as the reach display are selected. The random number is acquired when a winning signal is received for the symbol starting port 50 before the corresponding display (based on the winning).

Also, during the variable display of the upper symbol element, the lower symbol element is stopped or displayed,
One or more of the upper symbol element and the lower symbol element may be exchanged.

Further, a variable display similar to the variable display previously performed for the lower symbol element according to the second display device 26 may be performed for the large symbol element according to the first display device 24. For example, while the two lower design elements are displayed in a variable display at a low speed in such a manner that the numbers are increased in a state where the types are arranged in a line, the large design elements are one type lower than the type of the lower design element currently displayed. A type of variable display corresponding to a small number is performed. That is, the timing is slightly delayed from the mode of the variable display of the two lower symbol elements, and the variable display of the large symbol element is performed in a similar mode. This is a display in which the large symbol element is following the lower symbol element. And
The liquid crystal panel 4 is inserted through the gap 32 into the interior of the large design element.
Since the lower symbol element on the 0 display area 42 is visible, the display is such that the symbol element approaches from the back to the front (from front to back).

In addition, the large symbol element and the lower symbol element may be alternately displayed. The symbol element that is not displayed in a variable manner is a temporary stop display in which the variable display is performed again. In addition, a variable display such that the large symbol element and the lower symbol element are always of the same type, or a variable display such that only one type is sent many times for the large symbol element or the lower symbol element is provided. Or
Furthermore, after the same kind of display (fixed display) as the fixed display of all the symbol elements, at least a part of which oscillates, or less than the above-mentioned fixed time, the fixed display or the symbol change display may be performed again. Yes (re-lottery).

Lamps can also be employed. Even in such a case, a display full of three-dimensional feeling becomes possible, for example, when both are lamps, the light approaches when blinking sequentially from the back, and goes away when blinking sequentially from the front,
Such an interesting lighting can be performed. Various types of display devices can be used, such as liquid crystal display devices, 7 segments, and other lamps.
In the present invention, the first display device partially overlaps the second display device, but the display of the second display device is recognized by the player, for example, by adding light around the first display device. If so, the first display device may overlap the entire second display device.

The target of displaying various symbols is not fixed to a certain symbol element, but may be an upper symbol element, a large symbol element, or all symbol elements. Various elements such as alphabets, Chinese characters, characters, and combinations thereof can be employed as the design elements, in addition to numbers. Furthermore, the types of various displays may not be determined based on random numbers, but may be selected based on the types of winning ports, differences in winning modes, or combinations thereof.

In addition, the symbol display may not include all of the above types, may not perform some of them, or may include other types. In addition, when the special display is of a specific type (e.g., a specific number is a specific number, or all the design elements are aligned), or when the independent display device has a specific mode, When the display is made, a specific game state advantageous to the player can be generated immediately after the special game state or the like. As the specific game state, the symbol start opening was tulip-shaped, opened more widely than other game states, shortened the average time of symbol fluctuation display, opened a specific winning opening, or combined these State can be adopted. In addition,
The condition for ending the specific game state can be set variously based on the number of times the symbols are displayed and the number of winning information stored. Also, the special game state can be changed like the specific game state.

Furthermore, the brightness of each display device is not adjusted at the position of the player, and the second display device is darkened or vice versa, so that a deep and peeping display is realized. Various effects can be aimed at. Further, the average luminance can be variable, and for example, the luminance of a display device on which reach display is performed can be temporarily increased. In addition, the liquid crystal display device is not limited to a device having a backlight, and may be a device using external light. The present invention can be applied not only to pachinko machines but also to other game machines.
