Description

  The present invention relates to a game machine represented by a slot machine.

  In recent years, slot machines have been devised not only for functional aspects such as game play, but also for external appearance such as decoration, in order to bring the player's consciousness. It tends to be more and more interesting to appeal to the visual sense. For example, the slot machine is provided with a liquid crystal display unit (sometimes referred to as a liquid crystal display device) for the purpose of enhancing the effect (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The transparent case that houses and protects the liquid crystal display unit from the front side of the liquid crystal display unit often catches the eyes of the player, and in order to increase the player's willingness to play, such as painting with flashy colors Decorated.

  FIG. 9 shows a typical liquid crystal display unit 900 provided on a gaming machine such as a slot machine. The liquid crystal display unit 900 includes a liquid crystal display device main body 901 and a transparent case 902 as a cover member that houses the liquid crystal display device main body 901 so as to cover the main body from the front side. In order to increase the player's willingness to play, the transparent case 902 (shaded portion in the figure) is painted so as to appeal to the player's vision over the entire front side.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-10384

  However, when painting is applied to the transparent case 902, as shown in a partially enlarged portion in FIG. 9, there is a case where a part of the coating applied to the parting part in the painting process is protruded. Normally, the transparent case 902 is coated after a predetermined masking, but a part of the paint may enter inside the masking during the coating process, and a part of the coating may protrude as shown in the figure. . In this case, since it is impossible to redo the painting, the transparent case 902 is unavoidably discarded, which increases the manufacturing cost.

  In addition, it is desired that parts used for a gaming machine such as a slot machine be reused as much as possible from the viewpoint of recycling. As described above, discarding the transparent case 902 due to paint failure is undesirable from the viewpoint of recycling. Furthermore, in order to maintain the interest of the player, the game table may be frequently redesigned, and since the cycle is short, it is difficult to respond easily and quickly if the transparent case 902 is directly painted. It may become. Here, even if it is possible to cope with the redesign of the gaming table, the problem that it is unavoidable to discard the transparent case 902 that is directly decorated cannot be solved, and therefore it is not possible to meet the request for recycling.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention made in view of the above circumstances is to provide a game table which can avoid a paint failure and can easily and quickly cope with a short cycle of pattern change.

  The game stand according to claim 1, which achieves the above object, is provided in the step of applying the desired color in the game stand provided with the desired color after the formation of the surface member visually recognized from the outside. Instead, the cover member with the desired coloring is attached to a predetermined region of the surface member.

  According to this, by attaching the cover member to the surface member, it is possible to avoid the failure of coloring the surface member, which has been a problem in the past, and in the case of changing the coloring of the surface member Since the attached cover member only needs to be replaced, it is possible to easily and quickly cope with a change in the design of a gaming table with a short cycle.

  That is, generally, the surface member of the gaming machine that is recognized from the outside is given a desired color after it is formed on the gaming machine. Therefore, instead of this coloring process, a cover member that has been given the desired coloring is used. By attaching to the predetermined area of the surface member, decoration of the game table on the surface member can be easily achieved. As a result, the solution to the problem of easy and quick response especially to the changing of the gaming table is surely achieved.

  In addition, as the predetermined area of the surface member, the front side of the game stand that is in the line of sight of the player is appropriate.

  The game table according to claim 2 is characterized in that the cover member is formed in the same shape as the predetermined region by pressure forming or vacuum forming. According to this, since the cover member can be manufactured by a simple molding method, it is possible to easily and quickly cope with the change of the design of the game table.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaming machine including an effect device and a housing of the effect device, wherein the cover member is attached to the housing.

  The production device that constitutes the game stand is often touched by the player because of its function, so there is a situation that the decoration must appeal to the player's vision, but the cover member is produced. By mounting on the housing of the device, the decoration of the effect device corresponding to the player's interest can be changed easily and quickly.

  In other words, since the housing of the effect device protects the effect device and appears on the front side of the game stand that can be seen by the player, it is intended to obtain the same effect by attaching a cover member to the housing. .

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaming table comprising: a liquid crystal display device having a door provided with a liquid crystal display device and a pair of doors that can be opened and closed in a width direction of the liquid crystal display device on a front side of the liquid crystal display device; In a game machine including a housing for storing a display device, the cover member is mounted on the housing.

  According to this, since the liquid crystal display device with a door needs to be decorated in harmony with the decoration of the door, the same effect can be obtained by attaching the cover member to the housing that houses the door. Is going to get.

  The game stand according to claim 5 is characterized in that the desired coloring of the cover member is applied to one surface of the cover member. According to this, it is possible to color the cover member that needs to be easily and quickly mounted at low cost.

  According to the present invention, since the cover member with the desired coloring is attached to the predetermined region of the surface member of the gaming table, the desired coloring of the surface member in the conventional gaming table becomes unnecessary, Failure to color the surface member can be avoided. Furthermore, it is possible to easily and quickly change the game table simply by replacing the cover member attached to the surface member.

  Next, description will be made regarding control of the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the basic control of the game in the slot machine 100 of the present embodiment. This process is performed mainly by the control unit in the slot machine 100, and is repeatedly executed unless a power interruption or the like is detected. The control unit includes a main control unit that controls the game and a sub-control unit that produces an effect according to the game based on a command from the main control unit.

  When the power is turned on while a reset switch (not shown) is pressed, step 101 (S101) is first executed. When the power is simply turned on, the processing is started from the previous state (the state at the time when the power is turned off).

  In S101, an initialization command (a command including an initialization command) is transmitted to the sub-control unit, and in S102, processing relating to medal insertion is performed. Here, it is checked whether or not medals have been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on according to the number of medals inserted. It is not necessary to insert a medal when winning the re-game in the previous game.

  In S103, processing related to a game start operation is performed. Here, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, in S104, the valid winning line 114 is determined according to the number of inserted medals. In S105, a random number generated by a random number generator (not shown) is acquired.

  In S106, a winning combination internal lottery is performed using the random value acquired in S105 and the winning combination lottery data table stored in the ROM of the main control unit. In S107, an effect lottery is executed. In the effect lottery, the contents of the effect when the effect is executed or not are determined by the lottery. Even in the production lottery, there is lottery data for production, and the value obtained by dividing the lottery data for production by predetermined data (values of the entire range of random numbers used in the production lottery) is the winning probability for each production.

  In S108, the reel stop control table to be used is selected. In S109, rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started. In S110, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any one of the stop buttons is pressed, the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped based on the reel stop control table selected in S108. .

  In S111, a winning determination is performed. Here, when a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the winning combination is a winning combination. For example, if “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the validated winning line 114, it is determined that the bell is won. In addition, if “7-7-7” is prepared, it is determined that a BB winning is achieved. The winning result is stored as a winning result code.

  In S112, if any winning combination with payout is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out. In S113, a game state control process is executed. In this game state control process, control for shifting the type of game is performed. For example, in the case of winning a BB game, preparation is made so that the BB game can be started from the next time. Prepare to start the game.

  In S114, it is determined whether or not the game is over. If the game is over, the processing of FIG.

  One game is completed as described above, and thereafter, the game progresses by repeating this.

  Next, a door-equipped liquid crystal display device 600 as an effect device in the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3A is a front view of the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door. As illustrated, the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door includes a left door 610, a right door 620, and a liquid crystal display device 700. The left door 610 and the right door 620 are provided to be openable and closable in the width direction of the door-equipped liquid crystal display device 600 in front of the liquid crystal display device 700 (front side), and the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 700 is played when the door is closed. It constitutes a pair of door bodies that shields from the person.

  In the present embodiment, the left door 610 and the right door 620 can be moved independently. The fully open positions of the left door 610 and the right door 620 are as shown in FIG. 3B, and the fully closed position is as shown in FIG.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the left and right doors can be moved or stopped between the fully open position and the fully closed position, and the entire liquid crystal screen or a part thereof can be shown to the player. It is possible to hide and excite the fun of the game.

  In the present embodiment, like the shoji, the left door 610 and the right door 620 are configured to move in parallel in the left-right direction so as to oppose each other. A configuration may be adopted.

  Further, the detailed structure of the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door will be described. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door, and particularly shows a detailed structure on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 700.

  The liquid crystal display device 600 with a door has a main body frame 630 having a laterally long outer shape and a rectangular through-hole for incorporating the liquid crystal display device 700 in the center thereof, and a pair of doors (a left door 610 and a right door 620). And two guide rails (an upper guide rail 640 and a lower guide rail 650) which are attached to the front side of the main body frame 630 and slidably guide a pair of doors in the width direction, and these two doors 610 and 620 The transparent front cover 660 that covers the guide rails 640 and 650 from the front side, the liquid crystal display device 700 that is attached to the back side of the main body frame 630, and the two doors 610 and 620 are provided in correspondence with each other. Two drive units 810 and 820. A colored member 670, which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention, is bonded to the front side of the transparent front cover 660.

  In the present embodiment, the main body frame 630 and the upper and lower guide rails 640 and 650 are made of metal, and the left and right doors 610 and 620 and the transparent front cover 660 are made of plastic (thermoplastic resin).

  5 is an exploded perspective view of the back side of the liquid crystal display device 700. The relay board 701, the connector 671, and a plastic transparent rear cover 680 are provided. The parts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are assembled with the liquid crystal display device 700 to complete the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door.

  Next, a coloring member 670 as a cover member of the transparent front cover 660 which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the front side of the transparent front cover 660.

  As described above, the transparent front cover 660 is a transparent plastic that protects the liquid crystal display device 700 from the front side, and is decorated by painting or the like to increase the player's willingness to play. In the present invention, instead of directly decorating the front cover 660 such as painting, a coloring member 670 in which a color, a pattern or the like to be painted on the front cover 660 is applied in advance to the front cover 660 using a double-sided tape or the like. It is designed to give decoration.

  The coloring member 670 is made of a general thermoplastic resin such as polycarbonate, and is transparent before being coated. The contact surface with the transparent front cover 660 has the same shape as the front surface of the transparent front cover 660. Is formed. In addition, a relatively large opening is formed in the substantially central portion of the coloring member 670, and the size of the opening does not block the screen of the liquid crystal display device 700 from the left and right doors 610 and / or 620 in the fully opened state. That is, when the left and right doors 610 and 620 are completely opened, the left and right doors 610 and 620 and the screen of the liquid crystal display device 700 are formed so as to be visible. The coloring member 670 is bonded to the front side of the transparent front cover 660 when assembling the components of the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door.

  As described above, the configuration in which the coloring member 670 is adhered to the transparent front cover 660 without directly painting it can avoid failure of painting on the transparent front cover 660. Further, when the decoration of the transparent front cover 660 is changed, it is only necessary to replace the coloring member 670, and the transparent front cover 660 is not discarded, so that the request for recycling can be met. Furthermore, when the slot machine 100 needs to be redesigned, it is only necessary to replace the coloring member 670, so that it is possible to smoothly respond to a short cycle of redesign, and it is possible to realize such redesign at a low cost. That is, even when the pattern change cycle is extremely short, for example, every week, it is possible to cope with the change by simply replacing the coloring member 670.

  Next, a method for manufacturing the colored member 670 that has been painted in advance before bonding to the transparent front cover 660 will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a manufacturing process of the coloring member 670. The colored member 670 is transparent, and it is sufficient to paint on either the back surface (contact surface with the transparent front cover 660) or the front surface (actual exposed surface) in order to reduce the coating cost.

  First, a case where the coloring member 670 is manufactured and applied to the back surface thereof will be described by taking a spraying method (spraying method) as an example.

  First, a plastic sheet 800 is prepared as a material for manufacturing the coloring member 670 (step (a)). The plastic sheet 800 is obtained by extrusion molding or the like, and is a thermoplastic resin such as polycarbonate that is generally used in the manufacture of plastic molded products. The plastic sheet 800 can produce a predetermined number of colored members 670 by one manufacturing. A single sheet having a size.

  In order to facilitate molding, the thermoplastic resin sheet 800 is held by a clamp 801 and softened by heating with a heater 810 (step (b)). Thereafter, the softened sheet 800 is set in a mold 900 (female mold) in which a vacuum hole 902 (sometimes referred to as an exhaust hole) is previously provided while being held by a clamp 801 (step (c) )). The mold 900 is a mold having the same shape as the shape of the front side of the transparent front cover 660 to which the finally completed coloring member 670 is bonded.

  When set in the mold 900, processing of the sheet 800 is started (step (d)). The processing of the sheet 800 is performed by typical pressure forming or vacuum forming in a thermoforming method generally used for processing a thermoplastic resin sheet. Both are common in that the die is pushed up (vacuum suction) from a vacuum hole 902 provided in the die 900 by a pump or the like to push up the die, but in the pressure forming, the compressed air box 910 is further lowered and compressed into this. By supplying compressed air (about 5 times the atmospheric pressure) as a forming pressure through an air conduit 901, compressed air is applied to the sheet 800 to form the sheet 900 in close contact. For example, when the pattern applied to the colored member 670 is a fine pattern that requires accuracy, it is preferably processed by pressure forming. In addition, the form of FIG.7 (c) and (d) is illustrated about the case of pressure forming.

  When the mold is released after the sheet 800 is formed in this way, a prototype of the colored member 670 before decoration such as a pattern is obtained (step (e)). As described above, the sheet 800 has such a size that a predetermined number of the coloring members 670 can be manufactured, but one of them is shown in the drawing.

  Next, an opening is provided in the sheet 800 that is a prototype of the coloring member 670, and a cutting process is performed to finish the portion held by the clamp (step (f)). As described above, the opening provided in the sheet 800 is cut so as to have a size that does not block the screens of the left and right doors 610 and 620 in the fully opened state and the liquid crystal display device 700, and becomes the outer edge size of the coloring member 670. Thus, the excess sheet 800 is cut.

  When the sheet 800 is cut in this manner, a colored member 670 to be bonded to the front side of the transparent front cover 660 is obtained (step (g)). Since the coloring member 670 is transparent, a desired coating corresponding to the slot machine 100 is applied (step (h1)). This coating is a spray method as described above, and paint is sprayed from the nozzle 920 to the back surface of the coloring member 670.

  Next, the case where the colored member 670 is manufactured and the surface side thereof is coated will be described by taking the curl fit method (registered trademark, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.) as an example. In addition, since manufacture of coloring member 670 itself is the same as the above, it abbreviate | omits about description of process (a)-(g).

  First, painting (printing) by the curl fitting method will be described. This is an effective method for painting (printing) a printed material having a complicated shape among printed materials having a curved surface. In this method, a transfer film having an image layer constituting a pattern activated by an activator on a support film made of a water-soluble or water-swellable film is floated on the water surface so that the image layer faces the upper surface. This is performed by pressing the printing medium to be attached from above and transferring the image layer of the transfer film to the outer peripheral surface of the printing medium by water pressure, which is also referred to as water transfer.

  In the present embodiment, a transfer film 930 having a color, pattern or the like to be applied to the coloring member 670 is floated on the water surface in the water tank 940 as shown in the drawing so that the surface having the pattern or the like faces upward. The printing surface of the transparent coloring member 670 obtained by (a) to (g), that is, the surface side is pressed against the transfer film 930, and the pattern of the transfer film 930 is printed on the surface side of the coloring member 670 by water pressure. (Step (h2)).

  The production of the coloring member 670 and the coating on the coloring member 670 are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, methods other than thermoforming can be used, and the curl fit method can be applied to the back surface. If the back surface of the colored member 670 is painted, there is an advantage that the painted surface is not exposed to the outside and the coating is difficult to peel off.

  Further, the coloring member 670 can be used for a portion that needs to be colored in the slot machine 100 in addition to being adhered to the front side of the transparent front cover 660 of the liquid crystal display device 600 with a door. For example, the coloring member 670 can be used for the upper lamp 150 provided to enhance the decorative effect of the slot machine 100.

  FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which the coloring member 670 is used for the upper lamp 150, FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the slot machine 100, and FIG. 8B is used for the upper lamp 150. It is explanatory drawing which showed the coloring member 670 used.

  The upper lamp 150 (shaded portion in the figure) shown in FIG. 8A functions to enhance the effect of the effect in addition to enhancing the decoration effect of the slot machine 100 in cooperation with the side lamp 151 and the like. Although the structure of the upper lamp 150 is not particularly illustrated, the outline thereof will be described. The coloring member 670 of the present embodiment is provided in the upper lamp housing 150a having a predetermined shape, and a light source is provided on the main body 101 side. ing.

  The upper lamp housing 150a is a transparent casing, and has a substantially U-shape when viewed in cross section. In the upper lamp housing 150a, as shown in FIG. 8B, a colored member 670 having the same shape as that of the upper lamp housing 150a, that is, a substantially U-shape when viewed in cross section, is provided. As described above, the coloring member 670 is included without directly coating the upper lamp housing 150a, thereby eliminating the coating failure that has been a problem in the past. Furthermore, for example, when the slot machine 100 needs to be redesigned, it is only necessary to replace the coloring member 670 in the upper lamp housing 150a, so that it is possible to deal with quick redesign according to the player's preference.
