Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which characters are arranged on a game board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in a type 1 pachinko machine and a type 3 pachinko machine, a character is displayed on a special symbol display device arranged at the center of a game board, and the game content to be developed is increased. Story nature has been added. Similarly, in the second-type pachinko machines and the like, a character model is integrated with a variable winning device arranged in the center of a game board, and story content is added to the developed game contents.

Further, in these pachinko machines,
A pattern (for example, a character, a background, etc.) related to the story nature of the game content to be developed is drawn on a cel, and the cel is pasted on a game board. As a result, the player could be given a marker for discrimination from other pachinko machines. In addition, the inexperienced player was able to suggest at a glance the story nature of the developed game content. In addition, the pachinko machine as a whole could have an atmosphere that was in line with the storyline of the game content to be developed. In particular, in order to emphasize the above-described effects, the character is drawn larger than the background.

[0004]

However, a player who is playing a game often looks at a fluctuating special symbol display device or a variable winning device, or follows a pachinko ball rolling on a game board. A character largely drawn on a game board through an image rarely fits within its visual field.
For this reason, characters drawn large on the game board via cell images can perform indirect functions such as giving the player during the game an atmosphere that matches the story nature of the game content to be developed. , I couldn't work on that vision efficiently.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a pachinko machine in which a character is arranged on a game board in such a manner that it can efficiently work on the visual sense of a player during a game. The purpose is to provide a machine.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pachinko machine, wherein a plurality of character designs displaying the same character are arranged at the center of a game board. It is characterized by being arranged around a structure. A pachinko machine according to a second aspect is the pachinko machine according to the first aspect, wherein a first winning port is arranged in the arrangement of the character designs. According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the pachinko machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein a second winning port is provided below the character pattern arrangement.

A pachinko machine according to a fourth aspect is the pachinko machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the central structure is a symbol display device, and A character is displayed on the screen of the symbol display device. A pachinko machine according to claim 5 is the pachinko machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the central structure is a variable winning device, and the character of the character design is The variable prize device is characterized by being represented in whole or in part.

A pachinko machine according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the pachinko machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the arrangement of the character symbols is attached to the game board. It is characterized by being composed of a picture. A pachinko machine according to a seventh aspect is the pachinko machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the arrangement of the character designs is drawn on a cel drawing attached to the gaming board. And a structure formed on a peripheral structure provided around the central structure.

In the pachinko machine of the present invention having such a configuration, a plurality of character designs displaying the same character are arranged so as to surround the central structure. A central structure is provided at the center of the game board, and the pachinko ball rolls around the central structure. Therefore, a plurality of character designs displaying the same character are arranged along the flow of the pachinko ball.

[0010] Therefore, even when a player who is playing a game follows the pachinko ball rolling on the game board, the character design is likely to fall within the visual field. Therefore, the player during the game can easily move his or her line of sight from the pachinko ball to the character symbol. Furthermore, since a plurality of character designs displaying the same character are arranged along the flow of the pachinko ball, the player during the game can play on the game board without paying his / her gaze to the character design. By following the path of the rolling pachinko ball, a plurality of character designs fall within the field of view one after another, and the character design is strongly recognized.

Further, since the player who is playing the game shoots the pachinko ball aiming at the winning opening, the pachinko ball is arranged in the character pattern arrangement by arranging the first winning opening in the character pattern arrangement. In many cases, rolling on the top can be generated. Also, since the fired pachinko ball rolls downward, the pachinko ball rolls on the character pattern array by arranging the second winning opening below the character pattern array. Can be generated more.

In the first class pachinko machine, for example,
The first winning opening is a type 1 starting opening, and the second winning opening is a large winning opening. In a second-class pachinko machine, for example,
The first winning opening is a normal winning opening, and the second winning opening is an attacker or a start chucker having a large entrance size of the winning opening. In the third-type pachinko machine, for example, the first winning opening is a central winning opening, and the second winning opening is a mini attacker disposed below the central winning opening.

In addition, a plurality of character designs displaying the same character can be arranged around the central structure by arranging them by drawing a plurality of character designs on a cell image attached to the game board. This is advantageous in terms of workability and the like, compared to sticking a plurality of stickers of character designs drawn one by one on a game board while arranging them.

Further, a part of the character pattern may be formed on a peripheral structure provided around the central structure.
In particular, in this case, since the character design formed on the peripheral structure is closer to the player side than the game board surface, the character design can be more strongly recognized. Such peripheral structures include, for example, a windmill, a lamp, a tulip-type accessory, an interlocking accessory, a first-type special electric accessory, a third-type special electric accessory, and a normal electric accessory.

The character is not limited to a person,
The main characters of novels, comics, movies, plays, etc. may be used. In addition, animals and the like may be used. Further, the same character displayed on a plurality of character designs may have different expressions, postures, costumes, and the like. In particular, when the expressions whose postures, postures, and the like are changed over time are arranged in sequence, the afterimage effect can give the illusion that the character is moving to the player during the game.

That is, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, a plurality of character designs displaying the same character are arranged along the flow of the pachinko balls, so that the character designs are within the visual field of the player playing the game. Is easily accommodated, and the character design is strongly recognized, so that the character arranged on the game board can efficiently work on the visual sense of the player during the game.

Also, the central structure is a symbol display device,
In the case where the character of the character design is displayed on the screen of the design display device, the character arranged on the game board is related to the story nature of the game content to be developed. When effectively acting on the visual sense of the player, the story nature of the game content to be developed can be added. Further, the pachinko machine as a whole can be provided with an atmosphere suited to the story of the game content to be developed.

Similarly, even when the central structure is a variable winning device and the character of the character design is represented by the whole or a part of the appearance of the variable winning device, the character arranged on the game board is not changed. Since the game is related to the story of the game content to be developed, the story of the game content to be developed can be added when efficiently working on the visual sense of the player during the game. Further, the pachinko machine as a whole can be provided with an atmosphere suited to the story of the game content to be developed. It is desirable that the character of the character design match the whole or part of the appearance of the variable prize device, but the character related to the whole or part of the appearance of the variable prize device. It may be.

Also, when a plurality of character designs displaying the same character are arranged along the flow of a pachinko ball, unlike the prior art which draws a large character design, the size of the character design is not excessively large. Therefore, effects such as giving a sign to the player for identification with other pachinko machines and suggesting the story nature of the game content to be developed at a glance to inexperienced players,
It can be more remarkably exhibited.
