Here, the reach gaming state refers to the state immediately before the jackpot gaming state, for example, the symbol variation in the right symbol row stops on the jackpot line with the same kind of symbol as the stop symbol in the left symbol row, and After that, if the symbol variation in the middle symbol row is stopped at the same kind of symbols as the stop symbols in the left and right symbol rows, a combination of jackpots is finally included. In addition, when the symbol variation stops, the game changes in a combination that results in a big hit gaming state, and when it stops at that symbol, when it finally becomes a big hit gaming state, the state in the variation is also included in the reach gaming state. This is usually called full rotation (all symbols) reach.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the special winning opening 6 is provided below the first type start opening 4 and includes one V zone 11, two passages 12 and 13, and a shutter 14. The shutter 14 is operated by a prize winning solenoid 15 (hereinafter also simply referred to as “solenoid 15”), and opens and closes the V zone 11 and the entrances of the passages 12 and 13.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the game board 7 is provided with a start port switch 18, a V zone switch 19, and a count switch 20. The start port switch 18 detects winning of a game ball to the first type start port 4. The V zone switch 19 detects the winning of the game ball in the V zone 11, and the count switch 20 detects the winning of the game ball in the big winning opening 6. A control device 21 is provided to control the solenoid 15 and the display device 5 based on the detection results of the switches 18 to 20, respectively. The control device 21 includes a read memory (ROM), a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), and the like. The ROM stores a predetermined control program and initial data in advance, and the CPU executes various arithmetic processes according to the ROM control program. The CPU corresponds to display control means in the claims. The RAM temporarily stores the calculation result by the CPU. In more detail, the control device 21 includes a main board that performs main control of the pachinko machine 1, a display control board that controls each unit according to a signal from the main board, a volume adjustment board, an LED board, and a payout control. In order to prevent unauthorized signals from being input to the main board, the signal transmission direction is only one direction from the main board to the sub board. ing.

  As one of the controls by the CPU, there is a so-called probability variation in which the occurrence probability of the big hit gaming state is varied according to the condition. Specifically, a low probability mode that generates a jackpot gaming state with a low probability of about 1/300, and a high probability mode that generates a jackpot gaming state with a high probability of about 1/60, which is about five times as high The probability mode is switched according to the type of jackpot symbol. That is, if the jackpot symbol is a predetermined special symbol (eg, odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and if it is a predetermined normal symbol (eg, even symbol), the low probability mode is set. Note that the multiple of the occurrence probability in the high probability mode with respect to the occurrence probability in the low probability mode may be a value other than the above-described value (about 5).

Next, the reflection part will be described.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the reflection unit 100 is disposed in the vicinity of the display device 5, and the display of the display device 5 is reflected on the reflection unit 100 as shown in FIG. 5. In addition to the display of the display device 5, the display and the one reflected on the reflection unit 100 act synergistically to make a coordinated decoration. As shown in FIG. 4, the entire reflecting surface 100 a is configured to be substantially flat, and the reflecting surface 100 a configured to be flat is inclined with respect to the front surface 7 d of the game board 7. Yes. It should be noted that only a part of the reflecting surface may be formed flat in the reflecting portion.

  On the other hand, the display unit outer surface 5b of the display device 5 is configured to be substantially flat, and the display unit outer surface 5b and the flat reflection surface 100a are disposed so as to be inclined relative to each other. Is easily reflected on the reflecting portion 100.

  The reflection unit 100 can be configured by a mirror member (mirror), and more specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a surrounding decoration portion made of a resin material surrounding the display screen 5a of the display device 5 The mirror member can be arranged as a part of 105 or attached to the surrounding decorative portion 105. When arranging the mirror member so as to be attached to the surrounding decorative portion 105, it is useful to configure it so that it can be attached and detached. Here, the mirror member is attached to the surrounding decoration portion 105, but the surrounding decoration portion 105 may be plated, and the plated portion may be used as the reflection portion.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the game board 7 is provided with an arrangement hole 7a for arranging the display device 5, and a part of the reflector 100 is inserted into the arrangement hole 7a. Arranged from the rear side of the front surface 7d of the game board 7 to the front side. Here, the surrounding decoration portion 105 is arranged in a form inserted into the arrangement hole 7 a, and the display device 5 is provided so as to be fixed to the surrounding decoration portion 105.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the display screen 5a of the display device 5 has a substantially rectangular outer edge shape in the plane direction parallel to the front surface 7d of the game board 7 (the display unit outer surface 5b is also the same). To have a substantially rectangular shape). The reflection unit 100 can be arranged in the vicinity of at least one of the outer edges of the display device 5 to project the vicinity of the outer edge and expand the display area of the display device 5, but in the present embodiment, As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 5 is arranged in the vicinity of two opposite sides of the outer edge, and the display effect of the display device 5 can be expanded in a predetermined direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 1). Yes. As shown in FIG. 1, if the reflecting portion is arranged in the vicinity of the two sides (sides 5 c, 5 c) that are opposed in the horizontal direction, the display effect is brought about on the left side and the right side of the display device 5. A wide range of decorative effects can be obtained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, at least a background image 400 displayed on the display device 5 (the background image 400 corresponds to the reflection portion display target image) is displayed on the reflection portion 100, and is displayed. The background image 400 that does not require much space in the device 5 can be effectively expanded. Here, the background image 400 that produces the underwater state is used, and the underwater state is extended by the reflection unit 100 in a wider range.

  Moreover, you may make it like FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the symbol displayed on the display screen 5a is configured to scroll in a direction substantially parallel to at least one of the first edges of the outer edges of the display device 5 having a substantially rectangular shape. Yes. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, a part of the background image 400 (the shell symbol 103 (the shell symbol 103 corresponds to a predetermined symbol)) scrolls up or down substantially along the side 5c. The reflection part 100 is arrange | positioned in the vicinity of the 1st edge | side (namely, side edge 5c). As a result, the decoration area can be expanded in the direction orthogonal to the scroll direction (that is, in the horizontal direction in the case of vertical scroll as shown in FIG. 6).

  In FIG. 6, display control is performed by the display control means so that the symbol 103 displayed on the display screen 5 a is scrolled along the side 5 c in the vicinity of the side 5 c, and a mirror image 130 of the scrolled symbol 103 is displayed. Is reflected on the reflection unit 100. As the shell symbol 103 scrolls, the mirror image 130 appears to scroll.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in this configuration, the reflection units 100 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the display screen 5 a of the display device 5, and the reflection target region ( A region where the reflection target display target image is displayed). Specifically, the reflection units 100 are arranged on both the left side and the right side of the display screen 5a, respectively, and the reflection target regions (in the background image 400 in the reflection unit 100 are located on the left side and the right side of the display screen 5a). Area for displaying a portion to be displayed).

  In the example of FIGS. 5 and 6, the reflecting portions 100 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the display screen 5 a of the display device 5, and the non-target region (not reflected on the reflecting portion 100 is located near the center of the display screen 5. An area for displaying images (in the example of FIGS. 5 and 6, an area for displaying the symbol rows 8 to 10) is configured. As a result, the vicinity of the center of the display screen 5a is not reflected on the reflection unit 100, and the image near the left and right side edges 5c, 5c can be effectively expanded.

  In the example of FIG. 6, the background symbol 400 is displayed so that a part of the background symbol 400 scrolls in the vertical direction. It may be performed in some cases.

7 to 10 describe the game state generation control.
7 to 10 show various routines executed by the control device 21. Each processing of these routines is executed based on the counter group and the flag F.

  The counter group includes a round counter R, a winning counter P, and a probability variation counter C. The round counter R is for counting the number of rounds, and the winning counter P is for counting the number of winning game balls B to the big winning opening 6 based on the detection result of the count switch 20. The probability variation counter C is used to determine the end of the high probability mode, and takes values of “2”, “1”, and “0”. Note that the initial values of the counters R, P, and C are all “0”.

  In addition, the counter group includes an internal random number counter for determining occurrence of a big hit gaming state, an outreach random number counter for determining outreach, etc., a respective symbol counter for determining stop symbols, and a reach And a reach type counter for determining the type of operation. Here, the outreach by the outreach random number counter refers to a state in which the winning combination is not finally made after the above-described reach gaming state. The flag F is used to determine whether or not the game ball B has won a prize in the V zone 11, and is set to “0” when no prize is detected by the V zone switch 19, and when a prize is detected. Set to “1”. It has already been explained that there are two types of probability modes, a low probability mode and a high probability mode, but the low probability mode is set as the initial value.

 Now, when the game is started by the player, the control device 21 starts with the first type of the game ball B based on the detection result of the start port switch 18 in step S10 of the special electric accessory control routine of FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the start port 4. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, each value of the internal random number counter and the outlier reach random number counter is acquired and the value of each symbol counter is set in step S20. On the basis of the symbol sequences 8 to 10, the symbol is removed and acquired. Acquisition here refers to a process of reading the value of each counter and storing the value in a memory.

  Next, a symbol variation start process is executed in step S30. Specifically, in step S31 of FIG. 9, the symbols in the symbol rows 8 to 10 are variably displayed on the display device 5, respectively. This display makes it appear to the player that the three reels of left, middle and right are rotating. In step S32, it is determined whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is the same as the jackpot value. As the jackpot value, two types of values (low probability jackpot value and high probability jackpot value) are prepared. The former is a value for generating the jackpot gaming state with the low probability described above, and the latter is a value for generating with a high probability. For example, when the internal random number counter is a value that is updated every predetermined time in the range of “0” to “299”, “7” is set as the low probability jackpot value, and “7”, “17” , “27”, “37”, “47” are the jackpot values for high probability. Then, the probability that the jackpot gaming state will be 1/300 when the low probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value, and 1/60 when the high probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value. When the low probability mode is set in the previous control cycle, the low probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value. When the high probability mode is set, the high probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value.

  If the determination condition of step S32 is satisfied, the big hit symbol corresponding to the big hit value is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S33. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S32 is not satisfied, it is determined in step S34 whether or not the value of the outreach random number counter is the same as the predetermined outreach value. If this determination condition is satisfied, in step S35, a symbol corresponding to the detach reach value (hereinafter referred to as “disconnect reach symbol”) is stored in the memory as a stop symbol. If the determination condition in step S34 is not satisfied, the off symbol in step S20 is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S36. Then, after storing the stop symbol in the above steps S33, S35, S36, the symbol variation start processing routine is terminated.

  After the process of step S30 (symbol variation start process) is performed as described above, the symbols in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stored in any of the steps S33, S35, and S36 in step S40 of FIG. Replace with the stopped symbol. The symbol fluctuations in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stopped by the symbol after replacement.

  In step S50, the symbol fluctuation in the middle symbol row 9 is stopped. Subsequently, in step S60, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination is a jackpot combination. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated. If it is satisfied, a big hit signal ON is output to an output terminal (not shown) in step S70. Further, in step S80, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S80: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal ON is not shown in step S90. Output to the output terminal. Subsequently, in step S100, the round counter R is reset. In step S110, the winning counter P is reset and the flag F is set to “0”.

  Subsequently, the solenoid 15 is excited in step S120 of FIG. Then, the shutter 14 falls and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is opened. With this opening, the game ball B can be awarded to the V zone 11 and the passages 12 and 13. In step S130, the round counter R is incremented by "1".

  Next, in step S140, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter P is equal to or less than a predetermined value Pmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S150 whether or not the scheduled closing time of the special winning opening 6 is yet. If this determination condition is satisfied (step S150: Yes), the process returns to step S140. As a result, after the start of opening the grand prize winning opening 6, as long as there are no more Pmax game balls B won or the scheduled closing time arrives, the big winning prize opening 6 continues to be opened. On the other hand, if any one of the determination conditions in steps S140 and S150 is not satisfied, the solenoid 15 is demagnetized in step S160. Then, the shutter 14 is raised, and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is closed.

  In step S170, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter R is equal to or less than Rmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S180 whether or not the flag F is “1”. If the determination condition of step S180 is satisfied (step S180: Yes), the process returns to step S110 of FIG. Therefore, once the big hit gaming state occurs, the big winning opening 6 repeats the opening / closing cycle until the game ball B wins the V zone 11 at most Rmax times. For example, when the predetermined value Pmax is set to “10”, the opening time of the big prize opening 6 is set to “about 29.5” seconds, and the predetermined value Rmax is set to “16”, the big prize is won. After the opening of the mouth 6, when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) 10 game balls B win the big winning opening 6 or (2) about 29.5 seconds have passed. The winning opening 6 is closed. The opening / closing cycle of the big winning opening 6 is repeated up to 16 times on condition that the game ball B wins the V zone 11. If any one of the determination conditions in steps S170 and S180 is not satisfied, “big hit signal OFF” is output to the output terminal in step S190. Further, in step S200, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S200: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal OFF is output in step S210. Output to. Subsequently, a probability variation process is executed in step S220, and then the special electric accessory control routine is terminated.

  In the probability variation processing routine of FIG. 10, it is determined in step S221 whether or not the big hit symbol is a normal symbol (in this case, an even symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied (step S221: No), that is, if the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0” in step S227 (high probability mode) When the probability variation counter C is “0” (in the high probability mode) (S227: Yes), in step S228, the probability variation signal ON is output to an output terminal (not shown). Output. Subsequently, in step S229, the high probability mode is set, and the probability variation counter C is set to “2”. After executing the processing of step S229, the probability variation processing routine is terminated. Thus, when the big hit gaming state is continuously generated with the special symbol (odd symbol) during the high probability, the high probability mode is continued.

  On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S221 is satisfied, that is, if the big hit symbol is a normal symbol (even symbol), it is determined in step S222 whether the probability variation counter C is not "0". If the determination condition is not satisfied (C = 0), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 2, 1), the probability variation counter C is decremented by “1” in step S223. In step S224, it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0”. If the determination condition is not satisfied (C = 1), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 0), in step S225, the probability changing signal OFF is output to an output terminal (not shown). In S226, the low probability mode is set. Once the high probability mode is set in this way, the probability is high until the probability variation counter C becomes “0”, that is, after the high probability mode is set, until the big hit gaming state is continuously generated twice with an even number of symbols. The mode continues. When the big hit gaming state with an even number of symbols continues twice, the high probability mode ends and the mode is switched to the low probability mode.

  Note that the processing procedure in the present embodiment is an example, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the symbol variation process (step S31) may be performed after the stop symbol storage process (steps S33, S35, S36).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the game ball B has won the first type starting port 4, the values of the respective counters are acquired and the symbol columns 8 to 10 are variably displayed. A stop symbol is stored based on the value of each counter, and the symbol variation is stopped by the stop symbol. If the combination of symbols displayed when the game is stopped is a big win combination, a big win gaming state that is advantageous to the player occurs, and the game ball B is won in the V zone 11 at the maximum Rmax times until the big prize opening 6 open / close cycles are repeated.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and the probability of occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is increased two times, the next time and the next time. That is, once the high probability mode is set, the probability of occurrence of two big hit gaming states is increased from the next time, but if the big hit gaming state occurs again with an odd symbol during that period, the high probability mode is set. . On the other hand, if a big hit gaming state occurs in the normal symbol (even symbol) after the period has elapsed, the high probability mode ends (switches to the low probability mode).

<Embodiment 2>
Next, Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the second embodiment, display control is performed so that a predetermined symbol (character partial image 110) is displayed at a predetermined position on the display screen 5a, and an image of the predetermined symbol (character partial image 110) on the display screen 5a and the predetermined symbol are displayed. The composite design 200 is constituted by the mirror image 111 projected on the reflection portion. This predetermined pattern (character partial image 110) has a half design portion relating to the overall design of a predetermined object (here, a part of a character of a fictional character (a part above the knee) is a predetermined object). The composite design 200 corresponding to the overall design can be configured by the half design portion and the mirror image 111 in which the half design portion is reflected on the reflection unit 100. In this way, since the entire design can be shown by displaying only half of the design, while effectively reducing the display space for the predetermined pattern (character partial image 110) in the display device 5, The entire design can be displayed without deteriorating the decorativeness.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, as a predetermined pattern, a half of a character part image 110 showing a part of a predetermined character (character part image 110 corresponds to a half design part) divided from the center of the body is displayed. The character partial image 110 and a mirror image 111 of the character partial image 110 reflected on the reflection unit 100 (a symmetrical pattern of an image displaying a half divided from the center of the character's body are displayed. The composite design 200 is configured by a mirror image. In this way, if the character image is displayed on the reflection unit 100 and linked to the display, the decoration effect is higher than that in the case where only the display device 5 is displayed.

  The character partial image can have an image configuration including an image corresponding to at least half of the character's face or body (in FIG. 11, half of the body), the image corresponding to the face or body, A composite image 200 showing the character's face or the entire body is constituted by a mirror image 111 in which an image corresponding to half of the body is projected on the reflection unit 100. Such a predetermined symbol can also be configured to be displayed on the display screen 5a when a predetermined game condition is satisfied. For example, when a state such as a reach notice occurrence state, a reach occurrence state, a big hit occurrence state, a probability variation big hit occurrence state, a short time occurrence state, or the like occurs (these states are generated based on the control as described above), a predetermined A symbol can be displayed. In FIG. 11, the character partial image 110 is displayed when a gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, a reach state as shown in FIG. 11) occurs.

  Note that a composite design may be configured by a symbol displayed on the display screen 5a and a mirror image obtained by reflecting the symbol on the reflection unit 100, and the composite design may be scrolled along the first side. . For example, the synthetic design 200 may be configured to scroll up and down by scrolling up and down a predetermined symbol 110 as shown in FIG. In addition, although the example in which the predetermined symbol is configured as a part of the background image 400 is shown here, the predetermined symbol may be configured as a part of the jackpot specific symbol.

<Embodiment 3>
Next, Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 12 is a front view and a side sectional view conceptually illustrating the main configuration of the third embodiment. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a display mode of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, an example is shown in which a background image 400 and a predetermined symbol (such as a fish symbol 104) are scrolled in the horizontal direction.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined symbol displayed on the display screen 5a is formed in the left-right direction (surface direction parallel to the front surface 7d of the game board 7 and in the longitudinal direction) out of the outer edges of the display screen 5a having a substantially rectangular shape. It is configured to scroll in a direction substantially parallel to the side (ie, the upper side 5d and the lower side 5e) extending in the short direction of the gaming machine (pachinko machine 1), and the side (upper side 5d and lower side) extending in the left-right direction. The reflector 100 is arranged along 5e). The reflecting unit 100 is formed in a longitudinal shape so that the direction along the sides (upper side 5d and lower side 5e) extending in the left-right direction is the longitudinal direction of the reflecting unit 100. Display control is performed such that a background image composed of a fish symbol 104, a shell symbol 103, a seawater image 108, a sand image 109, and the like as shown in FIG. 13 is scrolled in the horizontal direction, and at least a part of these is reflected in the reflection unit 100. It is like that. For example, the fish symbol 104 is displayed so as to move substantially in parallel with the upper and lower sides 5d and 5e independently of the seawater image 108 and the sand image 109, and the mirror image 114 of the fish symbol 104 is also almost equal to the upper and lower sides 5d and 5e. Move in parallel. Thereby, it becomes a display mode that scrolls from end to end of the reflecting portion 100 configured in a longitudinal shape. Further, the seawater image 108, the sand image 109, and the like are normal display images that are always displayed in a normal state (a state in which a special game state such as a reach state, a big hit state, a probability variation state, a short time state, etc. does not occur) The normal display image is integrally scrolled in the left-right direction, and the mirror images 118 and 119 on which the seawater image 108 and the sand image 109 are projected are also scrolled in the left-right direction. Here, the fish symbol 104 is a part of the background image 400, but this may be a predetermined symbol that occurs when a predetermined game condition (reach notice, reach state, etc.) occurs.

<Embodiment 4>
Next, Embodiment 4 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the display device and the screen of the reflection unit and the configuration of the reflection surface of the gaming machine according to the fourth embodiment from both the front, top, bottom, left, and right. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a display mode in the fourth embodiment. The reflection unit 100 is arranged over the entire circumference so as to surround the display screen 5a of the display device 5 in the surface direction (surface direction parallel to the front surface 7d of the game board 7 (see FIGS. 1 and 2)). In this way, the expansion effect of the display device 5 is enhanced, and the influence of display can be given over a wide range. In such a case, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the background image 400 displayed on the display device 5 is configured to be extended over the entire circumference by the reflection unit 100 arranged so as to surround the display device 5. Then, it is effective in production. In this way, the area of the background image 400 can be effectively spread, and the decoration effect is further enhanced. In the example of FIG. 15, as in the third embodiment, the seawater image 108, the sand image 109, the fish symbol 104, and the seashell symbol 103 are displayed as the background image 400 around the symbol rows 8 to 10. These are displayed as mirror images 118, 119, 114, and 130 on a plurality of reflection units 100. The background image 400 may have a configuration in which some symbols (for example, the fish symbol 104 and the shell symbol 103) are moved and displayed in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction, or may not be moved.

<Embodiment 5>
Next, Embodiment 5 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 16 is a diagram conceptually showing a gaming board configuration of the gaming machine according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration of the display device and the reflection unit from the front and side, and FIG. 18 is a perspective view for conceptually explaining the configuration of the display device and the reflection unit. The reflecting unit 100 is an example in which the entire reflecting surface 100 a is configured to be substantially flat, and the reflecting surface 100 a is disposed substantially orthogonal to the front surface of the game board 7. Further, the display unit outer surface 5b and the reflection surface 100a are also arranged so as to be substantially orthogonal.

<Embodiment 6>
Next, Embodiment 6 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the sixth embodiment, a configuration in which at least a part of the reflecting surface of the reflecting portion is curved is shown. In FIG. 19, the reflecting surface 100a of the reflecting portion 100 has a curved surface shape over substantially the whole (the portion where the reflecting surface is formed into a curved surface corresponds to a three-dimensional reflecting portion). In addition, in the reflection part 100 of FIG. 19, although the reflective surface has comprised the curved surface shape over the whole, only a part may be curved surface shape. In any case, at least a part of the display screen 5a (for example, a specific image or a background image) is displayed on the curved reflecting surface 100a. In this way, the design portion is not projected as it is, but it becomes a novel reflection mode that has changed a little.

<Embodiment 7>
Next, Embodiment 7 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the seventh embodiment, the reflecting portion is provided with a first reflecting surface 100c configured to be flat and a second reflecting surface 100d different from the first reflecting surface 100c. In the configuration of FIG. 20, the first reflecting surface 100c and the second reflecting surface 100d are arranged to be inclined with respect to each other. If it does in this way, the way of an image will differ by the 1st reflective surface 100c and the 2nd reflective surface 100d, and a different reflection mode will arise in each reflective surface.

  In the configuration of FIG. 21, the first reflecting surface 100e and the second reflecting surface 100f are arranged at a predetermined distance, and the first reflecting surface 100e and the second reflecting surface 100f are step-shaped (arranged in parallel to each other). It is configured in a step shape. Here, the third reflecting surface 100g is interposed between the first reflecting surface 100e and the second reflecting surface 100f, but the reflecting surface is not interposed between the first reflecting surface and the second reflecting surface. It may be configured. That is, the first reflective surface 100e and the second reflective surface 100f may be configured not to be reflected.

<Eighth embodiment>
Next, Embodiment 8 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the eighth embodiment, the reflection unit 100 is disposed in the vicinity of only one side of the outer edge of the display device 5 configured in a rectangular shape. FIG. 22 illustrates a configuration in which the reflective portion is disposed adjacent to the left side. 22A is an explanatory diagram for explaining the state seen from the front, FIG. 22B is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between the outer surface of the display unit and the reflecting surface seen from the side, and FIGS. It is a modification of (B). In addition, (B) has illustrated the structure by which the reflective surface 100a is arrange | positioned in parallel with the front surface of a game board, and the display part outer surface 5b is inclined and arrange | positioned with respect to this reflective surface 100a. In (C), the reflecting surface 100a and the display portion outer surface 5b are both arranged to be inclined with respect to the front surface. In (D), the display unit outer surface 5b is arranged in parallel with the front surface, and the reflection unit 100a is arranged to be inclined with respect to the display unit outer surface 5b and the front surface.

  FIG. 23A is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state viewed from the front for an example different from FIG. 22, and FIG. 23B is an explanatory diagram illustrating a relationship between the outer surface of the display unit and the reflecting surface viewed from the side surface. C) and (D) are modifications of (B). In FIG. 23, the reflection part is disposed adjacent to the upper outer edge of the display screen 5a. (B), (C), and (D) are the same as (B), (C), and (D) of FIG.

The present invention can be similarly applied also in the form (that is, even in a configuration in which the reflecting portions are arranged on a plurality of sides).

<Ninth Embodiment>
Next, Embodiment 9 will be described.
24 is a front view illustrating a gaming machine according to the ninth embodiment, FIG. 25 is a front view illustrating the configuration of the gaming board, and FIG. 26 is a view in which the shielding member is closed from FIG. 27 is a front view and an essential part cross-sectional view illustrating the main part configuration of FIG. 24 and the like, and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the reflecting portion 100 is configured such that a shielding member 120 that can be shielded is displaceable, and a solenoid portion 107 that drives the shielding member 120 (the solenoid portion 107 corresponds to a driving means in the claims). And drive control means (such as a CPU) for controlling the solenoid unit 107. As conceptually shown in FIG. 30, the shielding member 120 includes a shielding position (see also FIG. 26) that shields the reflecting portion 100 by driving by the driving unit, and the reflecting portion 100 as indicated by a two-dot chain line. The position is changed to an open position (see also FIGS. 24, 25, and 27) where the reflecting portion 100 is open and visible. Thereby, the reflective part 100 can be visually recognized or cannot be visually recognized depending on the situation, so that the variation of the decoration using the reflective part can be further increased.

  The solenoid unit 107 is configured by a metal member such as iron when the coil unit 107a is energized when a predetermined game condition is satisfied when the shielding member 120 is held in the shielding position by urging by the coil spring 107b in a normal state. The shaft portion 107c is displaced so as to be pulled into the coil portion 107a, and the shielding member 120 connected to the shaft portion 107c via the connecting portion 108 is displaced in conjunction with the shaft portion 107c and set to the open position. Thereby, when a certain game condition is satisfied, the shielding member 120 is set to the open position, and a novel decoration using the reflecting portion 100 is performed. Therefore, the decoration effect brought about by the establishment of the game conditions is increased, and the composition is excellent in performance.

  In FIGS. 28 and 29, display examples of the display device and examples of the mode of the reflection unit are shown. However, FIGS. 31 and 32 may be used. 31 and 32 show an example in which the shielding member 120 is displaced when a predetermined game condition is satisfied. Here, as shown in FIG. 32, at least a background image displayed on the display device 5 is projected on the reflection unit 100. In a normal state, the reflection unit 100 is covered by a shielding member as shown in FIG. Although it is shielded, as shown in FIG. 32, when a predetermined game condition is established, the background image displayed on the display device 5 is changed to a specific background image based on that and the shielding member 120 is set to the open position. That is, the shielding member 120 is set to the open position on the condition that the specific background image is displayed. Thereby, when a predetermined game condition is satisfied (for example, when a probability variation occurs, or when a short-time state occurs), the background image is changed to a specific image. Thus, the specific background image can be made more characteristic as compared with a normal background image.

  In the example of FIGS. 31 and 32, the pachinko machine 1 is configured so that the background image changes to the specific background image based on the occurrence of the probability variation state, and is shielded only while the establishment variation state as shown in FIG. 32 continues. The member 120 is set to the open position. In this way, the production of the state that is advantageous to the player, such as the probability variation state, has higher production performance than the other states, and can have more impact. The predetermined game condition is not limited to the established variation state, but may be a reach notice occurrence state, a reach occurrence state, a big hit occurrence state, a probability change big hit occurrence state, a short time occurrence state, or the like. In this way, a novel decoration mode occurs in a state that is advantageous to the player, such as a reach notice occurrence state, a reach occurrence state, a big hit occurrence state, a probability variation big hit occurrence state, a short time occurrence state, It becomes the structure which can further increase interest.

<Embodiment 10>
Next, Embodiment 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the tenth embodiment, similarly to the ninth embodiment, a member (shielding member 140 configured in a plate shape) that can shield the reflecting portion 100 is disposed so as to be displaceable, and the stepping motor S (rotatingly driving the shielding member 140 ( The stepping motor S is an example of a drive means in the claims) and a drive control means (CPU or the like) for controlling the stepping motor S. The shielding member 140 is driven by the stepping motor S based on the control by the drive control means, and is configured to be repositioned between a shielding position that shields the reflecting portion 100 and an open position where the reflecting portion 100 is visible. ing. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shielding member 140 is configured to be rotatable about an axis in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface of the game board 7 (more specifically, around an axis L1 in the vertical direction). As shown in FIG. 34, the first rotation position that shields the reflection unit 100 and the second rotation position that opens the reflection unit 100 as shown in FIG. 34 are configured to be displaceable.

  Further, it may be as shown in FIG. FIG. 35 illustrates a configuration in which the plate surface of the shielding member 140 is substantially parallel to the display unit outer surface 5b at the first rotation position, and is substantially orthogonal to the display unit outer surface 5b at the second rotation position. Here, although the shielding member 140 is displaced based on the driving of the stepping motor S, it may be displaced by a solenoid. Various configurations can be adopted for rotating the predetermined component by the solenoid, and since the configuration itself for rotating the predetermined component is well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. For example, FIGS. The same configuration as can be used.

  Moreover, you may make it like FIG. 36, FIG. In FIG. 36 and FIG. 37, the screen shielding member 150 that can shield a part of the display screen 5 a of the display device 5 corresponds to a shielding member that shields the reflecting portion 100. The screen shielding member 150 is disposed so as to be displaceable as in the examples of FIGS. 33 to 35, and a stepping motor (shielding member driving means) that drives the screen shielding member 150 and a CPU (shielding) that controls the stepping motor. Member drive control means).

  Based on the control by the CPU (shielding member drive control means), the screen shielding member 150 can visually recognize the screen shielding position that shields the display screen 5a and the reflection unit 100 and at least a part of the shielded display screen. The screen is changed to the screen open position, and a part shielded by the screen shielding member 150 at the screen shielding position as shown in FIG. It is configured to be reflected. Thereby, since the part reflected in the reflection part can be shielded or opened, the reflection mode of the reflection part changes accordingly.

The screen shielding member 150 is configured to be able to shield both a part of the display screen 5a and the reflection unit 100, and at a screen open position as shown in FIG. 37, a part of the display screen 5a and the reflection unit 100 are arranged. Both are opened, and a part to be shielded is configured to be reflected on the reflection unit 100. Thereby, since both a part of a screen and a reflection part can be visually recognized by opening of a shielding member, it becomes a structure with a very big impact. Further, the screen shielding member 150 here is configured to be rotatable around an axis L3 in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface of the game board (specifically, the vertical direction), similarly to the shielding member 140 of FIG. Yes.

Next, Embodiment 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. FIG. In the eleventh embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the shielding member is configured to be rotatable around an axis in the left-right direction. Specifically, the screen shielding member 160 capable of shielding the reflecting portion 105 and a part of the display screen 5a is configured to be rotatable about the left and right axis L4. And it is comprised so that the corner | angular part of the display screen 5a comprised in rectangular shape can be shielded. In this way, it is possible to effectively make the portion that is less likely to be noticed on the display screen stand out effectively and to easily arrange the screen shielding member.

  In addition, the image displayed on the display device 5 includes a reflection target area (an information area where characters, an oval, etc. are displayed) to be reflected by the reflection unit 105 and other areas (an area where a symbol string is displayed). Thus, it is possible to divide and display a region that is a target of reflection by the reflection unit 105 and a region that is not.

  In addition, when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front, a part of the display of the reflection target area may be moved to the reflection unit 105 as illustrated in FIG. It may be configured to be displayed in 105.

  On the other hand, the image displayed on the display device 5 is configured with at least a non-target region (a region below the reflection target region (here, a region where a symbol row is displayed)) that is not a target of reflection by the reflection unit 105. When the machine 1 is viewed from the front, all the non-target areas are not displayed.

And it is comprised so that a displacement to the 2nd rotation position to open | release is possible. Other configurations are the same as those in FIG. If it does in this way, since a shielding member will not displace back and forth, it will become the composition which does not take much space in the front-back direction, and will become a compact structure regarding the front-back direction. Specifically, the shielding member 170 is formed in a plate shape, and the first rotation position shown in FIG. 40 and the state shown in FIG. 41 are shown in a state where the plate surface of the shielding member 170 is parallel to the front surface of the game board 7. It can be displaced to the second rotation position.

Here, the control device 21 functions as a reflection unit drive control unit. The reflection unit 100 is configured to be displaceable between a first position where the display screen of the display device 5 is projected and a second position where it is not projected when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front. FIG. 42 shows a state where the reflection unit 101 is in the second position, and FIG. 43 shows a state where the reflection unit 100 is in the first position.

  If it does in this way, since a reflective part becomes visible or becomes invisible according to a situation, the variation of the decoration using a reflective part can be increased further. The reflection portion 101 is configured to be rotatable around an axis L2 in a direction (specifically, the vertical direction) substantially parallel to the front surface (board surface) of the game board 7, and at the second position as shown in FIG. The reflection surface of the reflection unit 101 is configured to be in a direction substantially orthogonal to the front surface of the game board 7.

In the present embodiment, in a state where the screen is shielded by the screen shielding member 135, the reflecting portion 102 is positioned on the back side of the screen shielding member 135 as shown in FIG. At the same time, the reflecting portion 102 becomes invisible. Further, when the screen shielding member 135 is opened, as shown in FIG. 45, the reflecting portion 102 disposed on the back side becomes visible, and the reflecting portion 102 reflects a part of the display screen 5a. Here, the screen shielding member 135 rotates about the rotation axis L5 in the vertical direction, and each of the pair of screen shielding members 135 is configured to be independently displaceable.

  Also here, a non-target image (an image of a symbol array) that is not a reflection target of the reflection unit 102 is displayed in a predetermined portion of the display screen 5a, and the non-target image is at least a front view of the gaming machine. In some cases, the reflection part is not reflected. Here, an identification image that can identify a big hit state by a combination of a plurality of symbol sequences is a non-target image. Specifically, the lower area from the predetermined position is all non-target images.

  The image displayed on the display device 5 is configured to be capable of being divided and displayed in a reflection target region (a region in which a character, an oval or the like is displayed) to be reflected by the reflection unit 102 and a region display other than that. An area which is a target of reflection by 102 and an area which is not so can be distinguished and displayed.

  In addition, when the gaming machine is viewed from the front, the display of the reflection target area may be entirely reflected on the reflection part, and a part of the display of the reflection target area is transferred to the reflection part. May be. On the other hand, the image displayed on the display device 5 is a non-target region (a region below a predetermined position (here, a region where a symbol string is displayed)) that is not subject to reflection by at least the reflection unit 102, as in the above example. And when the game machine is viewed from the front, the display of the non-target area is not shown.

It is designed to rotate. When the configuration is outlined, the arm portions 177 and 178 are interlocked by the displacement of the drive shaft 175 provided in the solenoid portion 170, and accordingly, the screen shielding member 135 is rotated around the axis L5. As shown in FIG. 46, the drive mechanism having such a configuration is attached to a surrounding decoration unit 190 arranged around a display screen constituted by components 181 to 188 (see FIG. 48) and the like.

<Embodiment 15>
Next, Embodiment 15 will be described. Embodiment 15 demonstrates the example in which the auxiliary | assistant reflection part which can project the display screen of a display apparatus is provided in a shielding member. FIG. 50 has a configuration obtained by modifying FIG. 36, and similarly to FIG. 36, the screen shielding member 150 that can shield a part of the display screen 5 a of the display device 5 corresponds to a shielding member that shields the reflecting portion 100. doing. The screen shielding member 150 is disposed so as to be displaceable as in the examples of FIGS. 30 to 32, and a stepping motor (shielding member driving means) that drives the screen shielding member 150 and a CPU (shielding) that controls the stepping motor. Member drive control means). Further, in the present embodiment, the screen shielding member 150 is displaced so that the auxiliary reflecting portion 155 is not visible at the shielding position and is visible at the open position (see the broken line portion in FIG. 50). It has become. In this configuration, when the shielding member is opened, decoration can be performed using not only the reflecting portion but also the auxiliary reflecting portion, so that the gap between the shielding and opening is further increased, and the impact is higher and the decorative property is higher. It becomes.

  Based on the control by the CPU (shielding member drive control means), the screen shielding member 150 can visually recognize the screen shielding position that shields the display screen 5a and the reflection unit 100 and at least a part of the shielded display screen. The screen is changed to the screen open position, and a part shielded by the screen shielding member 150 at the screen shielding position as shown in FIG. 50 is reflected on the reflecting unit 100 at the opening position as shown in FIG. It becomes like this.

  The screen shielding member 150 is configured to be able to shield both a part of the display screen 5a and the reflection unit 100, and at a screen open position as shown in FIG. 51, a part of the display screen 5a and the reflection unit 100 are arranged. Both are opened, and a part to be shielded is configured to be reflected on the reflection unit 100. Thereby, since part of the screen and the reflecting portion 100 can be visually recognized by opening the screen shielding member 150, the configuration has a very large impact. Also, the screen shielding member 150 here is configured to be rotatable around an axis L3 in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface of the game board (specifically, the vertical direction), like the shielding member 140 of FIG. ing. Further, in the present embodiment, in the open position as shown in FIG. 51, the screen shielding member 150 is turned upside down as shown in the broken line part of FIG. 50, and is arranged on one side in the thickness direction of the screen shielding member 150. The auxiliary reflection portion 155 thus made becomes visible. Specifically, the screen shielding member 150 is displaced so that the reflection surface of the flat auxiliary reflection portion 155 is inclined with respect to the display portion outer surface 5b, and the display content (for example, background image) of the display screen 5a is displaced. Etc.) is also reflected on the auxiliary reflecting portion 155. In this state, the content displayed on the display screen 5a is expanded by both the reflection unit 100 and the auxiliary reflection unit 155, and a highly decorative aspect that attracts the player's interest is obtained.

<Embodiment 16>
