By the way, although there is a very high need to perform such game information disclosure on game information other than the possession ball (such as the number of jackpots or the number of continuations of the jackpot), in the case of Patent Document 1, there is a ball (out) It is not intended to provide other game information, only to provide information.
Assuming that a plurality of game information is displayed for other players, in consideration of a certain distance, a plurality of game information is switched and displayed in order rather than simultaneously displayed on the same screen, Game information should be displayed as large as possible.
However, if each of the game information display devices displays the game information separately, the entire display is disjointed, and the player can grasp what game information is currently displayed. It becomes difficult.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make it easy to grasp what game information is displayed when providing game information to other players. It is to provide a game information display system.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the management means manages a plurality of display items displayed by the display unit of the information display device for each vehicle, and displays the display item signal indicating the display item and the switching timing of the display item. It transmits to the information display device for each vehicle.
When the display information signal is received from the management means, the device information display device switches the display items indicated by the display item signal in order at a predetermined switching timing. As a result, the display items displayed on the display unit are switched and displayed in synchronization with the display items displayed on the display units of the other car information display devices, so what game information is currently displayed to the player. It can be easily grasped whether it is.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the game information achieved in the gaming machine to be managed can be efficiently displayed by sequentially adding display items each time the game information achieves a predetermined condition. Moreover, it is displayed that there is already a gaming machine (excellent table) in which gaming information related to the display item has achieved a predetermined condition among gaming machines to be managed (for example, the same model or island). It becomes possible to grasp only by confirming the item.

According to the invention of claim 3, the management means transmits a display item signal indicating a display item related to the gaming information when the gaming information of the gaming machine to be managed achieves a predetermined condition. The information display device displays a display item indicated by the received display item signal as a display item displayed by another information display device for each vehicle.
Here, if the game information of the corresponding gaming machine does not achieve the predetermined condition when displaying the predetermined display item based on the display item signal, the unit-by-unit information display device displays the display item as non-display. Therefore, display items that are not very important are not displayed, and the player can easily grasp the display items.

  According to the invention of claim 4, when the game information of the corresponding gaming machine achieves a predetermined condition, the game information display device first displays the display item corresponding to the game information and then displays the other display items. Are sequentially displayed, so that the display items related to the game information achieving the predetermined condition can be made conspicuous.

  Here, the top lamp 4 for each table includes a display switching database (hereinafter referred to as display switching DB). This display switching DB sets display items to be switched and displayed in order on the information display unit 10, and as shown in FIG. 11, corresponding to display orders 1 to 4, display items, display conditions, display time, display A flag A, a display flag B, and a display color (display color displayed on the number display unit 10a) are set. As the display item, display condition, and display time, “big hit count”, “always display”, and “10 seconds” are set corresponding to display order 1, and “probable intrusion count” corresponding to display order 2, “5 times or more” and “5 seconds” are set, respectively, and “maximum MY” (the number of balls that the player seems to have acquired most), “10000 balls or more”, “ “5 seconds” is set, and “maximum jackpot continuation count”, “5 times or more”, and “5 seconds” are set corresponding to the display order 4, respectively. The display flag A is for setting the display target for the entire top lamp 4 for each unit, and the display flag B is for setting the display target for each individual top lamp. Although the final display target is set so that both the display flags A and B are “ON” as will be described later, both the display flags A and B are always “ON” with respect to the number of jackpots. And is always set as a display target.

  The top lamp 4 for each table is configured to switch and display display items to be displayed on the information display unit 10 based on the above-described display switching DB. A related operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

Now, the top lamp 4 for each unit displays “0”, which is the initial value of the number of jackpots, in red on the information display unit 10 when the power is turned on.
FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of processing by the top lamp 4 (hereinafter simply referred to as a master) set as the master. As shown in FIG. 14, the master repeatedly executes a main program comprising a game data input process (R1), a display item update process (R2), a switching timer time-up process (R3), and a display switching process (R4). It has a configuration.

  On the other hand, FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of processing by the top lamp 4 for each unit set as a slave (hereinafter simply referred to as a slave). As shown in FIG. 15, the slave repeatedly executes a main program including a game data input process (R1), an update signal transmission process (R11), a display item signal reception process (R12), and a display switching process (R4). It has a configuration. The game data input process (R1) and the display switching process (R4) by the master and slave have the same contents.

FIG. 16 shows the contents of game data input processing by the master and slave. In this game data input process, when a signal indicating game data is input from the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 (A1: YES), the game data is updated based on those signals (A2).
Now, the master and slave calculate the jackpot count, the probability variation rush count, the maximum MY, the maximum jackpot continuation count, which are display items, based on the game data in the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1, and among those display items When any display item achieves the display condition of the display switching DB shown in FIG. 11 (A3: YES), the display flag B of the display item that has achieved the display condition (hereinafter referred to as an update display item) is set. (A4), set an update flag (A5), and return.

FIG. 17 shows the contents of display item update processing by the master. In this display item update process, it is determined whether an update flag has been set (B1) or an update signal has been received (B10).
Here, when the update flag is set by achieving the display condition as described above, the master determines that the update flag is set (B1: YES), resets the update flag (B2), It is determined whether the display flag A of the update display item is reset (B3). At the beginning of business, since the display flag A corresponding to the number of jackpots is reset as in the display switching DB shown in FIG. 11 (B3: YES), the display flag A of the update display item is set (B4). ), The switching timer is updated (B5). In this case, the timer time of the switching timer is set to (total display time of display items for which display flag A is set) × 3 + (display time of update display items). This is because, in this embodiment, the display synchronization timing by the switching timer is set to the timing at which the display items to be displayed as a whole are displayed three times repeatedly.

  Next, the contents of the display flag A (whether the display flag A of each display item is set) and the updated display item are converted into data and transmitted as a display item signal (B6), and the switching timer is restarted. To (B7), it is determined whether or not the display flag B of the update display item is set (B8). In this case, since the display flag B is set (B8: YES), the update display item is displayed (B9), and the process returns.

  FIG. 21 shows the display item signal reception processing of the slave. In this display item signal reception process, when the slave receives a display item signal from the master (F1: YES), the slave determines whether there is an updated display item in the display item signal (F2). In this case, since there is an update display item (F2: YES), it is determined whether the display flag of the update display item is reset (F3). If it is reset (F3: YES), the display flag A is set. After setting (F4), the switching timer is updated (F5). In this case, the timer time of the switching timer is set to (total display time of display items for which display flag A is set) × 3 + (display time of update display items). This is because the synchronization timing by the switching timer is set to the timing at which the display item to be displayed is repeatedly displayed three times.

  Next, after restarting the switching timer (F6), it is determined whether the display flag B of the update display item is set (F7). In this case, when the display flag B is not set (F7: NO), the 7-segment standby display is performed (F11). In this 7-segment standby display, an illumination display for sequentially lighting the LEDs constituting the 7 segments is performed.

  FIG. 18 shows switching timer time-up processing by the master. In this switching timer time-up process, the master monitors whether the switching timer expires (C1).

  FIG. 19 shows display switching processing by the master and the slave. In this display switching process, it is determined whether the display switching timing is reached based on the time measured by the switching timer (D1). When the display switching timing is reached (D1: YES), display is performed based on the display flag A. It is determined whether the display flag B of the display item is set (D2). At this time, if the display flag B is set (D2: YES), the display is switched to the corresponding item (D3). If the display flag B is not set (D2: NO), the 7-segment standby display is displayed. Execute (D4).

  Then, in the switching timer time-up process shown in FIG. 18, when the switching timer times out (C1: YES), the master converts the content of the display flag A into data and transmits it as a display item signal (C2). The switching timer is updated (C3), and the switching timer is restarted (C4). In this case, the timer time of the switching timer is set to (total display time of display items for which display flag A is set) × 3. This is because the synchronization timing by the switching timer is set to the timing at which the display item to be displayed is displayed three times repeatedly, and the purpose is to check the number of items and synchronize the timer each time up. is there.

Next, the master displays the number of jackpots which is the display item of the display order 1 in the display switching DB shown in FIG. 11 (C5), and returns.
With the above operation, when the display item in the display switching DB achieves the display condition in the master, the display item is displayed on the information display unit 10, and the display item is set as a display target in the slave. If it is displayed, the display item is displayed on the information display unit 10, and if it is not set as a display target, a 7-segment standby display is performed.

  On the other hand, when the slave sets the update flag (A4: YES) by achieving the display condition in the game data input process shown in FIG. 16 (A4), in the update signal transmission process shown in FIG. Is set (E1: YES), the update flag is reset (E2), an update signal is transmitted to the master (E3), and the process returns.

  When the master receives an update signal from the slave in the display item update process shown in FIG. 17 (B10: YES), the contents of the display flag A and the update display item are converted into data and displayed in the same manner as described above. While transmitting as an item signal (B6), the switching timer is restarted (B7). In this case, the master displays the updated display item (B9) or executes the 7-segment standby display (B11) depending on whether or not the display flag B of the update display item is set (B8). ).

  In addition, when the master achieves the game condition of the update display item or receives an update signal indicating the update display item from the slave while the display flag of the update display item is set, “NO” in B3 And the switching timer is updated (B5). As a result, the switching timer is set to (total display time of display items for which display flag A is set) × 3 + (display time of update display items), so that display of update display items is executed reliably. be able to.

  When the display item signal is received from the master in the display item signal reception process shown in FIG. 21 (F1: YES), the slave has an updated display item (F2: YES). Similarly to the above, depending on whether or not the display flag B of the update display item is set (F7), the updated display item is displayed (F8) or the 7-segment standby display is executed (F12). .

  On the other hand, when the slave receives a display item signal from the master (F1: YES), and there is no update display item in the display item signal (F2: NO), the slave updates the switching timer (F9), and the switching timer. After restarting (F10), the number of jackpots is displayed (F11). In this case, the timer time of the switching timer is set to (total display time of display items for which display flag A is set) × 3. This is because the synchronization timing by the switching timer is set to the timing at which the display item to be displayed is displayed three times repeatedly, and the purpose is to check the number of items and synchronize the timer each time up. is there.

  When the display flag of the update display item is set and the slave receives a display item signal indicating the update display item from the master, the slave determines “NO” in F3 and updates the switching timer ( B5). As a result, the switching timer is set to (total display time of display items for which display flag A is set) × 3 + (display time of update display items), so that display of update display items is executed reliably. be able to.

  Hereinafter, for example, an example of a change in display items of the top lamps 4 for each of the six units will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the display items for which the current display condition is established in the top lamp 4 for each vehicle are as shown in FIG. That is, there is no display item for which the display condition is satisfied for the first, second, and fifth top lamps 4, and the number of probability variation rushes for the third top lamp 4 is 5 or more. It is assumed that the maximum per-unit top lamp 4 has a maximum hit count of 5 times or more, and the sixth per-unit top lamp 4 has a probability variation entry count and a maximum hit count of 5 or more. In this case, the display switching DB of the third top lamp 4 for each table, which will be described as a representative of the operation of the top lamp 4 for each table, is set as shown in FIG. Further, it is assumed that the third top lamp 4 is set as a slave.

  FIG. 24 shows the relationship between the elapsed time of the display switching timer included in the third lamp for each stand 4 and the display items. In FIG. 24, when the top lamp 4 for each third unit receives a display item signal from the master, the display switching timer is set to 60 (= (10 + 5 × 2) × 3) seconds and restarted. As described above, display switching of the information display unit 10 is executed based on the display switching DB. That is, the information display unit 10 is set to repeatedly display the number of jackpots (10 seconds), the probability variation entry number (5 seconds), and no display (5 seconds) three times every 20 seconds.

Here, when the display switching timer reaches 40 seconds, that is, the number of jackpots, the probability of rushing, and the timing at which display without display is executed twice are the starting point of explanation (elapsed time 0 seconds, see FIG. 23A). A description will be given according to the elapsed time.
When the display switching timer reaches 50 seconds (elapsed time 10 seconds), the third and sixth top lamps 4 for each unit display the number of times of reliable change on the information display unit 10 (see FIG. 23B). . At this time, the other top lamps 4 execute the 7-segment standby display.

When the display switching timer reaches 55 seconds (elapsed time 15 seconds), the top lamps 4 for each of the fourth and sixth units display the maximum number of consecutive big hits on the information display unit 10 (see FIG. 23C). ). At this time, the other top lamps 4 execute the 7-segment standby display.
Since the slave receives the display item signal from the master when the third big hit number, the probability change entry number, and the display-free display timing (elapsed time 20 seconds), the display switching timer is restarted. Display from the number of jackpots is started (see FIG. 23D).

  When the maximum MY is established during the display of the number of jackpots in the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 (elapsed time 27 seconds), the third top lamp 4 for each vehicle transmits this fact to the master. Accordingly, the display item signal associated with the achievement of the maximum MY is received from the master, so the display switching DB is updated as shown in FIG. 13 and the display switching of the information display unit 10 is executed based on the updated display switching DB. In other words, the third top lamp 4 has all the display flags A set to “ON” and the display flag B corresponding to the maximum MY is newly set to “ON”. After the display (see FIG. 23 (e)), the number of jackpots is displayed (elapsed time 32 seconds, see FIG. 23 (f)). In this case, the display time indicated by the display item signal is 25 seconds (the display item that is the display flag A, that is, the total display time of all display items) × 3 + the display time of the update display item (maximum MY) is 5 seconds = 80 seconds. Is set.

With the above operation, the display of the information display unit 10 of the first to sixth top lamps 4 is switched synchronously as shown in FIG.
According to such an embodiment, since the display timing of the display items by the top lamps 4 for each vehicle is synchronized, the display items unified by the top lamps 4 for each vehicle can be displayed, It is possible to easily grasp whether such game information is displayed. Therefore, unlike the display items that are different, it is easy to compare the gaming state of each pachinko gaming machine 1, and it can be used as a guide for comparing the superiority or inferiority of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or selecting the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the display item switching timing can also be controlled, it is possible to perform display switching with good appearance as a whole.

  Moreover, when the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 achieves the display condition of the display items and becomes an excellent stand, the top lamp 4 for each stand displays the updated display item first and then displays the normal display item. Since it was executed, it was possible to make the excellent standout stand out. In this case, when it becomes an excellent stand, it becomes possible to compare which pachinko gaming machine 1 is the superior stand among other pachinko gaming machines 1, so that the pachinko gaming machine 1 that became the superior stand and the other stand Can be compared at an appropriate timing.

(Other examples)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The display item signal may be transmitted in any cycle such as one, two, or four or more in addition to the three display methods.
Display items to be displayed on the top lamp 4 for each stand are not limited to the embodiment, and other indications equivalent to the embodiment, such as the maximum total number of balls that are being changed, and the maximum jackpot start count (so-called humiliation), etc. for the player You may make it employ | adopt the display which shows a disadvantage as a display item.

  When there is an update display item, the update display item is displayed first regardless of whether or not the display flag A is updated. However, the display item signal is displayed only when there is an update display item for updating the display flag A. May be transmitted (the remaining is a predetermined interval such as three) and the update display item may be displayed. Alternatively, the display item signal may be transmitted only at a predetermined interval so that the updated display item is not displayed first.
