Description

  The present invention relates to a game effect body and a gaming machine, and in particular, a game effect that can improve interest by performing a game effect using a three-dimensional rotation effect body configured to have a plurality of small solid effect elements. Body and game machine.

  In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a ball that has been bulleted flows down on the surface of the game board as a game apparatus body, and the ball collides with a gauge (also called a nail) or impeller on the surface of the game board during the flow down. While turning, the flow direction changes. As a result, if a ball wins at various winning holes arranged on the surface of the game board, a predetermined prize ball is paid out. On the other hand, if a ball flows into the out port without winning any prize hole, no prize ball is paid out. . The player enjoys the game by demonstrating his / her skill in the ball or using the chance of the ball flowing down and expecting to win a prize and give away a prize ball.

  In recent gaming machines, there is also a game machine configured so-called “hit” that allows a player to acquire a large amount of prize balls in order to further enhance interest. For example, a symbol display device is provided on the game board surface, and symbols such as numbers and characters are displayed on the display screen. Then, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the variation of the symbol (hereinafter referred to as symbol variation) is started, and when the stop display becomes a specific mode, a “hit” is configured, and the player receives a large amount of prize balls. It can be acquired.

  Furthermore, there may be a case where a game effect different from the symbol variation is also performed to further enhance the interest. For example, there may be a case where a game effect body such as a movable member is provided on the game board surface separately from the symbol display device, and the game effect body is operated in accordance with the symbol variation.

  A three-dimensional rotation effect body having a spherical surface as a game effect body is provided separately from the symbol display device, and an interesting game effect is produced by the rotation operation of the game effect body and the effect display provided on the surface of the game effect body. For example, there is one described in Patent Document 1.

JP 2004-65633 A

  However, what is described in Patent Document 1 is only that the three-dimensional rotation effector rotates, and the operation is monotonous and surprising, and is easily bored by the player. In addition, since the effect display by the three-dimensional rotation effect body is limited to the one provided on the surface of the three-dimensional rotation effect body, there are few types and poor change. Therefore, the game effect by this three-dimensional rotation effect body is monotonous and uninteresting.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an unexpectedness to the operation of the game effect body provided in the game apparatus body, and enriches the variation of the effect display, thereby playing the game by the game effect body. It is an exemplary problem to provide a game production body and a game machine that can be produced with unexpected and highly entertaining effects.

  In order to solve the above problems, a game effect body as an exemplary aspect of the present invention is a game effect body provided so as to be visible from the front side of a game apparatus body that realizes a game by flowing down game media, A solid rotation effect body having a first effect display on the surface and a drive unit for rotating the solid rotation effect body, the solid rotation effect body being divided into a plurality of small solid effect bodies, The small solid effect body is movable relative to other small solid effect bodies.

  Since the three-dimensional rotation effect body provided so as to be visible from the surface side of the game apparatus body is divided into a plurality of small three-dimensional effect bodies, an unexpectedness can be imparted to the game effect by the three-dimensional rotation effect body. If the three-dimensional rotation effect body recognized as one game effect body is suddenly divided into small three-dimensional effect bodies, the player can feel surprise and fun at the unexpectedness. Since the three-dimensional rotation effect body rotates, the surface position of the three-dimensional rotation effect material that can be seen by the player also changes with the rotation. Therefore, if the first effect display is made different depending on the surface position of the three-dimensional rotation effect body, the player can show a different first effect display by rotating the three-dimensional rotation effect body.

  In addition, since one small solid effect body is configured to be movable with respect to other small solid effect bodies, it is possible to cause the small solid effect body to perform an unexpected operation. For example, if the small three-dimensional effector moves linearly in addition to the rotational movement of the three-dimensional rotation effector, the operation will be unexpected for the player, and the player will feel more surprise and fun. Can do.

  Here, the movement of one small solid effect body relative to another small solid effect body means that the position of one small solid effect body changes relative to the position of another small solid effect body. Say. For example, while the small three-dimensional effects are integrated and rotated as a single three-dimensional rotation effect, there is no relative position change between the small three-dimensional effects, and one small solid effect is It cannot be said that it has moved relative to the small three-dimensional effect body. However, when one small solid effect body is divided from the state and is separated from the three-dimensional rotation effect body, the position of one small solid effect body is relative to the positions of other small solid effect bodies. It has changed relatively and it can be said that one small solid effect body moved with respect to another small solid effect body.

  In the present application, the direction from the gaming machine to the player is “front”, and the front side is “front”. On the other hand, the direction from the player to the gaming machine is “rear”, and the surface facing rear is “rear”. Further, the left direction as viewed from the player is “left” and “left side”, and the right side as viewed from the player is “right” and “right side”.

  A second effect display different from the first effect display may be attached to the divided surface of the small three-dimensional effect body. Since the second effect display different from the first effect display is attached to the divided surface of the small three-dimensional effect body, the effect display is performed not only on the surface of the three-dimensional rotation effect body but also on the inner surface (divided surface). Can do. Therefore, the types of effect display by the three-dimensional rotation effect body can be increased, and the variation can be rich.

  The three-dimensional rotation effector may be a sphere, and the small solid effector may be a hemisphere. Since the three-dimensional rotation effect body is a sphere, the volume of the three-dimensional rotation effect body can be reduced while increasing the surface area to which the first effect display is attached. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game effect and contribute to space saving. Moreover, since the small three-dimensional effect body is a hemisphere, it is possible to secure a large area of the divided surface to which the second effect display is attached. Therefore, the game effect by the second effect display can be powerful.

  One small solid effect body may be configured to be able to drop and move with respect to other small solid effect bodies. Since one small solid effect body is configured to be able to drop and move with respect to other small solid effect bodies, the operation of the one small solid effect body can have an unexpectedness of falling movement. Also, if the second effect display attached to the divided surface can be visually recognized when it moves down, not only the operation of the small three-dimensional effect body but also the game effect by the effect display attached to the divided surface is also possible. It becomes possible, and it can be an interesting and interesting game production.

  A gaming machine according to another exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a housing frame that surrounds a gaming machine, a gaming device body, the gaming effect body, and the gaming device body, and a front surface with respect to the housing frame. A machine frame that holds a machine frame that is swingably supported so as to be opened and closed, a front transparent plate that is spaced apart from the gaming apparatus body by a certain distance, and a decorative member that surrounds and decorates the gaming apparatus body. And a launch frame that launches a game medium toward the upper part of the game apparatus body.

  In this gaming machine, the game effect body provided in the game apparatus body is divided into small three-dimensional effect bodies, so that a game effect that is surprising and interesting for the player can be performed. In addition, since the game effector is provided with an effect display not only on the surface but also on the inner surface, it is possible to enrich the game effect by the effect display, and the player can enjoy the game with this gaming machine. Can do.

  Further objects and other features of the present invention will become apparent from the preferred embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a surprising and interesting game effect by enriching the variation of the operation and effect display of the game effect body provided to be visible from the front side of the game apparatus body. Further, by ensuring a large area to which the effect display is added, the game effect by the effect display can be powerful.

[Embodiment]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an external appearance of a pachinko machine 2 as a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pachinko machine 2 has a housing frame 4, a game board (game device body) 6, a machine frame 8, a front glass (front transparent plate) 10, a decorative frame 12, a ball tray 14, and a launch unit (not shown). is doing. The game board 6 further includes a central device 34 having a rotation unit as a game effect body.

  The pachinko machine 2 includes a combination pachinko machine, an enclosed circulation pachinko machine, a sparrow ball machine, and the like. In addition to pachinko machines, game machines and arcade machines can be considered as gaming machines.

  The housing frame 4 is a frame for enclosing the pachinko machine 2 and is configured to have a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. Wood is often used as the material, but other materials such as resin and aluminum are also used. The housing frame 4 surrounds the upper and lower surfaces and the left and right side surfaces of the pachinko machine 2 and is a hinge for swinging and supporting the machine frame 8 and the decorative frame 12 on the left side as viewed from the front surface (that is, the player side). A portion (swing support portion) 22 is provided.

  In the pachinko machine 2, the game board 6 is for realizing a game by flowing down a ball 20 as a game medium, and a game area 6b is formed on the game board surface 6a on the surface. A rail ornament 24 is attached to the game board surface 6 a so as to surround the periphery in a substantially circular shape, and the game area 6 b is surrounded by an inner side surface 24 a formed inside the rail ornament 24.

  In the game area 6b, a large number of gauges (obstacles, not shown), a normal winning port 26, a starting winning port 28, a big winning port 30, an out port 32, and other various kinds of accessories are arranged. In addition, a central device 34 is disposed substantially at the center of the game area 6b. The gauge is for changing the flow direction of the ball 20 flowing down the game area 6b, but the details are omitted.

  The normal winning opening 26 is a winning opening formed at a plurality of locations in the game area 6b, and when a ball 20 wins the normal winning opening 26, a predetermined number of balls 20 are paid out as prizes.

  The start winning opening 28 is formed in the lower center part of the game area 6b. In the present embodiment, a large winning opening 30 is formed further below the start winning opening 28. An out port 32 is formed immediately below the grand prize winning port 30.

  The start winning opening 28 is a winning opening formed below the center of the game area 6b. When the ball 20 wins the start winning opening 28, a “winning” lottery is performed by a game control board (not shown). Also, when a ball 20 wins the start winning opening 28, a predetermined number of balls 20 are paid out as a prize.

  The big winning opening 30 is variable between an open state in which the ball 20 is easy to receive (easy to win) and a closed state in which the ball 20 is hard to receive (hard to win). The opening / closing control of the big winning opening 30 is performed based on the result of the “winning” lottery performed when the ball 20 wins the starting winning opening 28. For example, when “winning” is selected, the three-digit number displayed on the image display unit 35 of the central device 34 becomes the “winning” mode “7./7.7”, and then the big prize opening 30 is opened. The sphere 20 is easily received. A predetermined number of balls 20 are paid out as a prize even when the balls 20 win the big prize opening 30.

  The out port 32 is an opening formed in the vicinity of the lowermost center of the game area 6b, and the ball 20 that has flowed down to the lowermost end of the game area 6b, that is, a ball that has not won any winning holes 26, 28, 30. 20 to flow in. The ball 20 flowing into the out port 32 is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 2.

  When the ball 20 is fired toward the upper part in the game area 6b by a launch unit described later, the ball 20 collides with the gauge and flows down in the game area 6b while changing its flow direction. In the middle of the flow, a certain thing wins the regular winning opening 26 to trigger the payout of a ball, a certain thing wins the starting winning opening 28 and triggers a “winning” lottery, The winning openings 26, 28, 30 are not won and are discharged from the out opening 32 to the outside of the pachinko machine 2.

  The central device 34 is for performing various game effects for notifying the player of the result of the lottery at the “winning” lottery. The central device 34 is attached to the game board 6 and includes an outer frame 34 a, an image display unit 35, and a rotation unit (game effect body) 36.

  The outer frame 34 a is formed so as to surround the periphery of the central device 34, and is for holding the image display unit 35 and the rotation unit 36. Also, it has a function as an attachment board for fixing the screws when attaching the central device 34 to the game board surface 6a. The outer frame 34a is also formed with an accommodation space 34b for accommodating the rotation unit 36. A window 34c is formed on the front surface side of the accommodation space 34b so that a part of the sphere 38 (see also FIG. 2A) constituting the rotation unit 36 can be visually recognized.

  The image display unit 35 is a device that is held by the outer frame 34 a and is provided in a lower portion of the central device 34. The image display unit 35 has a function of displaying an image including a symbol for variation and its background symbol. In the present embodiment, the image display unit 35 is configured by a liquid crystal display device, and the image display unit 35 displays a three-digit number that is a symbol for variation.

  The image display unit 35 has a function of notifying the player of the result of the “winning” lottery. When the ball 20 wins the start winning opening 28 and the “winning” lottery is performed, the three-digit number displayed on the image display unit 35 starts to change, and is stopped and displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed. If the result of the lottery is “hit”, the stop display is “hit” (in this embodiment, “7, 7, 7”), and if it is not “hit” (that is, “miss”). The player is informed of the result of the lottery with the stop display other than the “winning” mode (hereinafter referred to as “outgoing” mode). A series of flow from the start to the stop of the symbol variation constitutes a part of the game effect for informing the player of the result of the “winning” lottery.

  The rotation unit 36 is a device that is accommodated in the accommodation space 34b and provided in the upper portion of the central device 34. As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), a sphere (three-dimensional rotation effector) 38, a motor (Driver) 40 is configured.

  The front surface of the sphere 38 is covered with an outer frame 34a. Normally, only a part of the surface 38a is visible from the front side of the game board 6 through a window 34c formed in the outer frame 34a. . The surface 38a of the sphere 38 is provided with a star symbol (surface symbol 39) as a first effect display, and the number of stars drawn varies depending on the position of the surface 38a. When the sphere 38 is rotated by a motor 40 described later, the position of the surface 38a visually recognized through the window 34c changes, and the number of stars visible from the window 34c also changes.

  The sphere 38 includes a first hemisphere (small solid effect body) 42 and a second hemisphere (small solid effect body) 44. The first hemisphere 42 and the second hemisphere 44 have a shape in which the sphere 38 is divided in half so that the cut surface passes through substantially the center, and the divided surfaces 42a and 44a that are the cut surfaces are brought into contact with each other. Thus, the sphere 38 can be configured.

  The first hemisphere 42 is movable with respect to the second hemisphere 44. In the present embodiment, the first hemisphere 42 can be moved downward, that is, dropped and moved while being accommodated in the accommodating space 34b of the central device 34. ing. Then, the second hemisphere 44 is stopped when it has been dropped by the diameter of approximately one sphere without being completely dropped by a stopper mechanism (not shown). Hereinafter, the state in which the first hemisphere 42 and the second hemisphere 44 maintain the spherical shape is referred to as “maintained state”, and the state in which the first hemisphere 42 is moved to fall with respect to the second hemisphere 44. Called the “falling state”.

  On the divided surface 42a of the first hemisphere 42, an inner surface symbol 43 as a second effect display is drawn (attached) (in this embodiment, the character "7") (Fig. 3 ( a), see (b)). Therefore, when the first hemisphere 42 drops and moves into a falling state, the inner surface symbol 43 that cannot be visually recognized in the maintained state becomes visible. A locking hole 42 b is formed in the dividing surface 42 a of the first hemisphere 42. The locking hole 42b is formed in order to prevent the first hemisphere 42 from falling and moving in the maintained state so that a locking portion described later enters and locks the first hemisphere pair.

  A solenoid 48 is disposed inside the second hemisphere 44. The plunger 48 a of the solenoid 48 can protrude and retract from the dividing surface 44 a of the second hemisphere 44. In the protruding state, the plunger 48a enters the locking hole 42b formed in the split surface 42a of the first hemisphere 42 to prevent the first hemisphere 42 from falling and locks the first hemisphere 42. It has a function as an engaging part.

  The motor 40 is disposed above the sphere 38 and has a function of rotating the sphere 38. The motor 40 and the sphere 38 (second hemisphere 44) are connected to a rotation shaft 50. When the motor 40 rotates the rotation shaft 50 as indicated by an arrow X, the sphere 38 also has its substantially center. It can rotate around the passing axis.

  The rotation of the sphere 38 and the falling movement of the first hemisphere also constitute a part of the game effect that informs the player of the result of the “hit” lottery.

  The machine frame 8 is a frame for holding the game board 6, and an attachment opening for attaching the game board 6 is formed in the vicinity of the center thereof. An attachment portion for removably attaching the game board 6 is provided around the attachment opening, and the machine frame 8 is configured to surround the game board 6. The machine frame 8 is disposed on the front surface side of the housing frame 4 and is swingably supported by the housing frame 4 at the hinge portion 22 so that the front surface of the machine frame 8 can be opened and closed.

  The machine frame 8 is formed of resin or metal, and a rear mechanism board (not shown) is disposed on the rear surface side.

Has been.

  The launch unit is attached to the machine casing 8. The launch unit is for firing the ball 20 sent out by the ball supply device and stopped and held at the ball launch position toward the top of the game board 6 (game area 6b). The launch unit energizes, for example, a launcher that launches the ball 20 sent to the ball launch position toward the game area 6b, a launch motor that drives the launcher to reciprocate the launcher, and a launcher. The unit is configured to have a firing spring or the like that generates a force for the ball.

  The front glass 10 is a transparent plate that is spaced apart from the game board 6 by a certain distance or more. The front glass 10 is formed of a transparent flat glass, and has a function of forming a flowing-down space where the ball 20 flows down between the front board 10 and the player so that the player can visually recognize the game board 6 through the front glass 10. The function and the function of preventing unauthorized access to prevent the player from illegally accessing (contacting) the game board 6 are exhibited.

  Of course, a resin material such as transparent acrylic may be used as the front transparent plate in addition to the front glass 10 made of glass. In the present embodiment, the front glass 10 is held by the decorative frame 12, but the front glass 10 is attached to the front of the game board 6 and is held by the machine frame 8 together with the game board 6. May be.

  The decorative frame 12 is a frame body that is swingably supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the housing frame 4. In the present embodiment, the decorative frame 12 is swingably supported together with the machine frame 8 at the hinge portion 22.

  The upper plate (ball tray) 14 is for storing the ball 20 so as to guide it to the launching unit, and has a function of storing the player's ball together with the lower plate 15. The upper plate 14 is disposed on the front surface of the pachinko machine 2 and below the game board 6, that is, at the lower portion of the decorative frame 12, and the lower plate 15 is disposed further below the upper plate 14. In the present embodiment, the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15 are configured separately, but of course, the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15 may be integrated to form one ball plate.

  The upper plate 14 has a function of receiving a ball 20 paid out from the pachinko machine 2 as a giveaway ball, and a function of storing the ball 20 so as to guide the ball 20 to a launch unit via a ball supply device (so-called rectifier, not shown). have. When the player finishes the game, the ball 20 can be discharged to the lower plate 15 by the ball discharge button 14b.

  The firing unit is for firing (bulleting) the ball 20 sent from the upper plate 14 to the firing position by the ball supply device toward the upper part of the game area 6b. The launch unit includes, for example, a launcher that shoots the ball 20 at the launch position, a launch motor that drives the launcher, a launch spring that urges the launcher to generate a force for the bullet, and the like. It is constructed and attached to the machine casing 8. For launching the ball by the launch unit, a launch handle 46 is provided below the front surface of the pachinko machine 2 for realizing on / off of the launch of the ball and adjusting the launch intensity based on the player's operation, but the details are omitted.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4, a description will be given of the procedure of the game effect in which the pachinko machine 2 notifies the player of “winning” using the image display unit 35 and the sphere 38.

  When the player operates the firing handle 46 to fire the ball 20 (S.1) and the ball 20 wins the start winning opening 28 (S.2), the “winning” lottery is performed and the image display unit 35 is operated. And the rotation of the sphere 38 is started (S.3). The flow of the game effect when the result of the “winning” lottery is “winning” and the notification is performed using the sphere 38 will be described below.

  The expected value that the rotation of the sphere 38 stops (S.4) and the result of the “winning” lottery is “hit” by the surface pattern 39 visually recognized through the window 34c as shown in FIG. To the player. In the present embodiment, the surface symbol 39 is a star symbol, and the greater the number, the higher the expected value.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), two numbers of the changing symbols stop at “7”, and if the remaining one of the changing numbers stops at “7”, it becomes a “hit”. The reach state is reached (S.5), and then the remaining one number in the fluctuation is stopped at a number other than “7”, for example, “3” (S.6). In other words, the symbol displayed on the image display unit 35 is stopped and displayed at “7, 7, 3”, which is the “out” mode.

  Then, after the “out” mode is stopped and displayed on the image display unit 35, the first hemisphere 42 of the sphere 38 drops and moves with its dividing surface 42a facing forward (that is, the player side). (S.7). As shown in FIG. 5B, the first hemisphere 42 protrudes downward from the accommodation space 34b, and the divided surface 42a becomes visible to the player. (See also FIGS. 6A and 6B.) Then, the character “7” drawn on the dividing surface 42a is positioned in front of the portion “3” in the “out” mode “7, 7, 3” stopped and displayed on the image display unit. Become. Therefore, it is recognized by the player as if the stop display suddenly changed to “7 · 7 · 7” which is a “win” mode. Then, when the first hemisphere 42 drops and moves, the “hit” game is started (S.8).

  When all three-digit numbers are stopped, “7, 7, 3” is displayed on the image display unit 35, and when the result of the “winning” lottery is “out”, suddenly the first Since the hemisphere 42 falls and becomes a “hit” mode, and a “hit” game is started, the player can feel great surprise and joy, and the fun of the game is further enhanced. Further, since a part of the sphere suddenly drops and moves, the operation itself is unexpected and highly interesting.

  In the present embodiment, a spherical sphere 38 is used as the three-dimensional rotation effect body. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a drum-shaped three-dimensional rotation effect material may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the inner surface design 43 is drawn on the dividing surface 42a of the first hemisphere 42. However, the dividing surface 42a is configured as a liquid crystal display unit, and the inner surface design 43 is displayed on the dividing surface 42a. In this way, various designs may be displayed. If comprised in this way, the kind of game production can be made abundant. For example, if “3” can be displayed in addition to “7” on the dividing surface 42 a, even if the first hemisphere 42 drops and moves, it remains in the “out” mode and does not become “hit”. It can also be. Therefore, since the result of the “winning” lottery differs depending not only on the fall of the first hemisphere 42 but also on the display of the divided surface 42a, it is possible to give the player a new interest and expectation. The interest can be improved. In addition, if an effect display is also attached to the split surface 44 of the second hemisphere 44, the types of effect display can be further enriched.

  As mentioned above, although preferable embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these, A various deformation | transformation and change are possible within the range of the summary.
