[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various display objects are displayed on a front panel of a slot machine, a pachinko machine, or the like. For example, a decorative character representing a model name, a decorative pattern composed of characters, a payout table displaying a payout at the time of winning, and the like,
This can be exemplified as a representative example of the display.

[0003] In recent years, some gaming machines have a liquid crystal panel as a display means of a display object. In this type of gaming machine, a moving image such as an animation is displayed on a liquid crystal panel, and a notification effect relating to the game is performed.

[0004]

However, in the conventional gaming machines, as described above, decorative characters, decorative patterns and the like are simply displayed in an orderly manner, so that all models have a similar impression.

Further, most of the front panel is used as a display space for decoration in order to improve the ability to attract customers. Therefore, it is not possible to secure a sufficient display space on the front panel for information other than decorations, for example, information (display objects) that the player should originally need, such as a game machine-specific capture method and operation method. Also, even if a strategy or operation method specific to a gaming machine is displayed, the content has to be sparse because of the display area.

A game machine equipped with a liquid crystal panel can display a large amount of information. However, since an expensive device such as a liquid crystal panel is required, there is room for improvement in manufacturing cost. In addition, there are restrictions on the display area and the mounting location.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and is intended to provide a game which can differentiate from other models and can sufficiently secure a display space for information that a player originally needs. It is an object to provide a machine. Another object is to provide a gaming machine that can provide more information without using expensive devices.

And a printing sheet 51 provided on the back surface of the panel main body 50 and printed with an operation as a display object, a lighting device 53 supported on the back surface of the panel main body 50, and the like.

In this embodiment, the waist panel 5
The operation method of the gaming machine, that is, the operation procedure is displayed on at least a part of “a”. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the operation procedure of the gaming machine is divided and displayed for each operation, and these operations are continuously displayed like an animation according to the movement of the player's line of sight. Like that. 5 and 6 are described over two figures for convenience of explanation, but are continuous operations.

Hereinafter, the principle of continuously shooting each operation in accordance with the movement of the player's line of sight will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The display objects A, B, and C shown in FIG. 7 correspond to the operations (A) to (C) shown in FIG.

More specifically, the coin insertion operation shown in FIG. 5A corresponds to the display object "A", and the operation of pressing the BET button 15 shown in FIG. It corresponds to "B". The operation of pulling the start lever 11 illustrated in FIG. 5C corresponds to the display object “C”.

In FIG. 7, a series of operations is constituted by three display objects A, B and C for convenience of explanation.
Each operation shown in (D) to (F) in FIG. 6 can be displayed simultaneously with the display objects A, B, and C according to the same principle. 6D shows an operation of pressing the first stop button 12, and FIG. 6E shows an operation of pressing the second stop button 12. FIG. 6F corresponds to the operation of pressing the third stop button 12.

First, each of the display objects A, B, and C is divided into a plurality of regions, and each of the divided regions is A ₁ shown in FIG.
Are arranged on the lower surface side of the lenticular lens 52 in the order of → B ₁ → C ₁ → A ₂ → B ₂ → C ₂ →. More specifically, the display objects A, B, and C divided corresponding to the respective convex lenses of the lenticular lens 52 are provided one by one corresponding to the respective convex lenses. FIG. 8 shows a form in which the display object A is divided into a plurality of regions.

Therefore, referring to FIG. 7 based on the above description, in FIG. 7, at the first viewing angle, the focus of the player is concentrated on the display object A, and the coin insertion operation corresponding to the display object A is performed. Only the image is shown to the player. At the second viewing angle, the focus of the player is located on the display object B, and only the operation of the BET button 15 corresponding to the display object B is displayed on the player side. Further, at the third viewing angle, the focus of the player is located on the display object C, and only the operation of the start lever 11 corresponding to the display object C is displayed on the player side.

That is, when the player's line of sight to the waist panel 5a moves in order from the first viewing angle to the second and third viewing angles, the coin insertion operation shown in FIG. 5 → BE.
Each operation is dynamically displayed in an operation procedure such as operation of the T button 15 → operation of the start lever 11. as a result,
The player can dynamically recognize a series of procedures related to the operation method of the gaming machine.

In the above description, a series of operations are displayed according to the movement of the line of sight of the slot machine 1 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the mounting direction of the lenticular lens 52 is such that each convex lens is connected to the waist panel 5.
a. In addition, when it is desired to express a series of operations when the line of sight moves in the left-right direction of the slot machine 1, each convex lens of the lenticular lens 52 is attached so as to extend in the up-down direction of the slot machine 1, and each display object is moved up and down. The area is divided into a plurality of regions along a dividing line extending in the direction.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a series of operations can be displayed within a limited space as if a moving image were reproduced. Therefore, it is possible to secure a display space for information (display objects) that the player should originally need with a minimum occupied area. In addition, a moving image such as an animation can be displayed without using an expensive device such as a liquid crystal panel, so that a great difference from other models can be achieved.
In addition, an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

In the above description, the operating method of the gaming machine is introduced as information that the player should originally need, but the selection is only a specific example. For example, a series of operations to be displayed in a display area such as a game machine-specific capture method, decorative pictures and characters including dynamic contents, and moving advertisement information are developed with a predetermined subject as a theme. The content is not particularly limited as long as it is a content. That is, a series of actions may be given a story, and the series of actions as displayed objects may be displayed like an animation.

In this case, each operation included in the series of operations corresponds to a dynamic element included in the subject (story). For example, if the dynamic elements of the game machine specific capture method are compared, it is possible to extract, as the dynamic elements, a state in which the level meter 16 or the like positioned as the notification effect device moves as shown in FIG. In addition, when a car is taken as an example of the decorative pattern, an operation such as running of the car 17 can be extracted as a dynamic element (see FIG. 14).

As an example of a decorative character 18 such as "pachislot" (see FIG. 15), the decorative character 18 is displayed in the order of "pa" → "j" → "s" → "b" according to the viewing angle. The displayed display method can be extracted as this dynamic element. Similarly, in the case of advertisement information, if the content of the advertisement is “January 1 newly opened!”, “January 1” → “Newly opened store!” According to the viewing angle.
! "Can be extracted as a dynamic element.

In the above description, the waist panel 5a
Although only the region in which a series of operations can be displayed has been described, it is a matter of course that a display space for a normal decorative picture or decorative character may be secured on the waist panel 5a. Note that ordinary decorative characters and decorative patterns mean static display objects whose contents do not change at any viewing angle regardless of the presence or absence of a lenticular lens.

Further, by utilizing the characteristics of the lenticular lens described above, it is possible to produce an effect using a static display object and a series of display objects (operations). For example, in the arrangement of the display objects A, B, and C shown in FIG. 7, when ordinary decorative characters or decorative patterns are arranged in an area corresponding to the first viewing angle, that is, in an area in which the display object A is displayed, the first At the viewing angle of, the decorative character and the decorative pattern are projected, and in the subsequent process from the second viewing angle to the third viewing angle, a continuous series of actions are captured, and so on. It can also be brought into a predetermined area with dynamic information.

Further, the slot machine 1 shown in this embodiment
The lumbar panel 5a is rotated by itself,
A viewing direction changing device 60 that relatively moves the player's line of sight to “a” may be attached. Hereinafter, the viewing direction changing device 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 9 to 11.

<Description of Viewing Direction Changing Apparatus> The viewing direction changing apparatus 60 includes a rotating shaft 63 provided on both sides of the waist panel 5a and supported by the front panel 5, and a rotating shaft 63 via a reduction gear 62. And an electric motor 61 (rotating shaft rotating mechanism) for rotating the waist panel 5a in the vertical direction by the operation of the electric motor 61. That is, it has a function as viewing direction changing means for relatively changing the viewing angle of the player with respect to the waist panel 5a.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the viewing angle of the player with respect to the waist panel 5a is:
It will change relatively according to the support angle of the waist panel 5a. That is, when the player's line of sight is positioned in front of the waist panel 5a, at the support angle where the upper end of the waist panel 5a is inclined inward of the gaming machine (see FIG. 9), the waist panel 5a is held at the first viewing angle. The viewing angle is the same as when viewing. Also, at a support angle at which the waist panel 5a is neutral (see FIG. 10), the viewing angle is the same as when the waist panel 5a is viewed at the second viewing angle. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 11, that is, in the support angle in which the upper end of the waist panel is inclined forward of the gaming machine, the viewing angle is the same as when the waist panel 5a is viewed at the third viewing angle.

Therefore, when the waist panel 5a rotates, the operation projected to the player changes every moment with the rotation. Therefore, the player can continuously (dynamically) recognize a series of actions displayed on the waist panel 5a even in a state where the player sits in front of the gaming machine.

By the way, in the process of changing the viewing angle from the first viewing angle to the third viewing angle, as described above, the operation method is performed according to the procedure of coin insertion → operation of the BET button 15 → operation of the start lever 11. Is projected,
Conversely, in the process of changing from the third viewing angle to the first viewing angle, the operation of the start lever 11 → the BET button 15
The operation method of the gaming machine is displayed in the reverse order, such as the operation of → the coin insertion operation.

Therefore, in the viewing direction changing device 60, when the waist panel 5a is rotated, the movable speed is made different for each rotation direction. More specifically, the waist panel 5a is rotated at a speed (a predetermined speed) at which the visibility of the display object can be sufficiently ensured in a normal direction, that is, a rotation direction from the first viewing angle to the third viewing angle. In the reverse rotation from the third viewing angle to the first viewing angle,
The waist panel 5a is returned at a speed ignoring the visibility of the display object.

As a result, the player can visually recognize only the operation method displayed in the regular procedure. In addition, the operation method displayed in an incorrect procedure is the waist panel 5a.
Can not be perceived due to rapid rotation (return) of. Therefore, only correct information can be transmitted to the player. FIG.
In the case where the operations shown in FIG. 4 are arranged, the X direction in FIG. 4 is the normal direction.

The viewing direction changing device 60 has a mechanism for turning the waist panel 5a in the vertical direction, but the turning direction can be arbitrarily changed. For example, a rotating shaft 63 may be provided above and below the waist panel 5a to rotate the waist panel 5a in the left and right direction of the slot machine. Alternatively, the rotating shaft 63 may be disposed on a diagonal line of the waist panel 5a, and the waist panel 5a may be rotated obliquely to the slot machine. In addition, each operation as a display object is divided in a direction corresponding to the rotation direction of the waist panel 5a. Also,
The direction of the lenticular lens 52 is also set in accordance with the rotation direction.

The mechanism of the viewing direction changing device described above is
This is merely an example, and the mechanism can be arbitrarily changed. For example, even when the lenticular lens 52 is fixed to the front panel 5 and the panel body 50 on which the printed matter is displayed is slid on the lower surface side of the lenticular lens 52, the function as the viewing angle changing means according to the present invention is also provided. Can be achieved. Conversely, the lenticular lens 52 may be slid.
That is, moving the display panel in the present invention includes the concept of changing the relative position between the lenticular lens and the display panel.

<Description of Lighting Means> Subsequently, the waist panel 5
The lighting device 53 provided on the back surface side of a will be described. The lighting device 53 includes a plurality of fluorescent lamps. Each fluorescent light is
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, it is supported on the back side of the waist panel via a stay 4a provided on the back side of the front panel 5. Then, a series of operations displayed on the waist panel 5a is illuminated to the player side by the light of the fluorescent lamp 53. The mounting method of the lighting device 53 is not limited to the above description, and the mounting method can be arbitrarily changed, for example, by providing the lighting device 53 integrally with the panel body 50.

The lighting device 53 includes a waist panel 5a.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12, while the waist panel 5a is rotating in the normal direction (X direction in FIG. 12), the fluorescent lamp 53 is turned on, and in the opposite direction (Y direction in FIG. 12). At the time of turning, the fluorescent lamp 53 is turned off to reduce the visibility of an erroneous operation procedure displayed on the waist panel 5a.

By providing the luminous intensity varying device 53a capable of adjusting the luminous intensity in accordance with the rotation direction of the waist panel 5a, it is possible to illuminate only the operation method projected in a regular procedure to the player. Become. Note that the example of adjusting the luminous intensity introduced here is a specific example. For example, the adjustment method can be arbitrarily changed, such as adjusting the luminous intensity such that the illuminating device 53 does not turn off the light but stops the light.

Although a fluorescent lamp is used in the above description, for example, a cold cathode ray tube lamp, an incandescent lamp, a mercury lamp, a xenon lamp, a neon lamp, an ultraviolet lamp, or the like may be used. Further, a reflecting mirror may be used instead of the lighting device 53. The reflector is arranged on the back side of the waist panel 5a to reflect light in the game hall and generate a light source. Thus, the same function as the lighting device 53 is exhibited. When the luminous intensity is adjusted by the reflecting mirror, the luminous intensity may be adjusted by changing the reflection angle of light.

In the above description, the present invention has been described by taking the slot machine 1 as an example. However, the present invention is, of course, applicable to ball game machines represented by pachinko machines, arrange balls, pin balls, and the like.
The present invention is also applicable to an amusement machine, an arcade game machine and the like including them.

The display area in which a moving image can be reproduced using the lenticular lens is not limited to the waist panel 5a, but may be any position that can be visually recognized by the player, such as the upper panel 21 or the front of the tray 14. The application place does not matter. More preferably, the present invention can be favorably applied to a front surface of a game machine main body composed of a front panel 5 and the like. Further, in a pachinko machine or the like, it may be provided on a face plate portion or the like of a game board which is a processing area of a ball.

Also, a display area and a viewing direction changing device, etc.
The configuration according to the present invention described above includes not only the game machine main body,
Of course, the present invention can also be applied to a ball rental machine installed on the side of the gaming machine, an island facility in which the gaming machine is installed, and the like.
