(Liquid crystal display device)
Here, the structure of the liquid crystal display device 5 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the liquid crystal display device 5 includes a front panel 51 including a protective glass 52 and a display plate 53, a polarizing plate 60, a front transparent liquid crystal panel 62, a rear transparent liquid crystal panel 54, a polarizing plate 60, and a light guide plate 55. , A reflective film 56, a so-called white light source fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b, lamp holders 59a to 59d, and a table carrier package (TCP) on which an IC for driving a transparent liquid crystal panel is mounted. 62 and a flexible substrate (not shown) connected to the terminal portion of the rear transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

  The protective glass 52 and the display board 53 are comprised with the transparent member. On the back side of the display plate 53, various lamps and electric circuits for operating various display units are arranged (not shown).

  The polarizing plate 60 is composed of a member made of an element that polarizes light. The polarizing plate 60 disposed on the rear side can efficiently transmit light from the light guide plate 55 described later and increase the luminance of the liquid crystal panel.

  The front transparent liquid crystal panel 62 and the rear transparent liquid crystal panel 54 are formed by sealing liquid crystal in a gap between a transparent substrate such as a glass plate on which a thin film transistor layer is formed and a transparent substrate facing the transparent substrate. The display mode of these transparent liquid crystal panels is set to normally white. The normally white is a configuration in which white display is performed (light transmitted to the display surface side is visible from the outside) in a state where the liquid crystal is not driven. An interval of about 3 to 15 mm is provided between the front transparent liquid crystal panel 62 and the rear transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

  The light guide plate 55 is used to guide the light from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b to the transparent liquid crystal panel 54 (illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 54), and is provided on the back side of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54. It is composed of a transparent member (having a light guiding function) such as an acrylic resin having a thickness.

  The reflective film 56 is, for example, a white polyester film or an aluminum thin film formed with a silver vapor deposition film, and reflects the light introduced into the light guide plate 55 toward the front side of the light guide plate 55. The reflective film 56 includes a reflective area 56A and a non-reflective area (transmissive area) 56B.

  The fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b are arranged along the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the light guide plate 55, and both ends are supported by the lamp holder 59. The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b is reflected by the reflection area 56 </ b> A of the reflection film 56 to illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

  In the gaming machine 1, only a part of the area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state. However, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the display screen of the liquid crystal display device is entirely transparent. / A region that switches to a non-transparent state may be used. In this case, in the gaming machine 1, when the entire area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area that switches to the transmissive state or the non-transmissive state, the reflective film 56 may be all the non-reflective area 56 </ b> B or the reflective film 56 may be omitted. .

  An image displayed by the liquid crystal display device 5 so as to be stereoscopically viewed will be described. The liquid crystal display device 5 is an autostereoscopic liquid crystal display device using a DFD method [Depth-Fused 3-D, luminance modulation type 3D]. As a principle, two transparent liquid crystal panels on the front and rear sides are overlapped at an appropriate interval, and the same images having different brightness are displayed on the front and rear displays so as to overlap each other. Then, the human eye feels as a single three-dimensional image. The DFD method is a method in which a continuous sense of depth can be obtained between two surfaces by changing the luminance ratio of the same image overlapped before and after using this property. Since this method can display a natural stereoscopic image, it is less fatigued and can be viewed for a long time. In addition, as an actual product, a space illusion of NTT IT Corporation has been released.

  FIG. 3 shows switching display of a stereoscopic image or a planar image. As shown in FIG. 3, the rear transparent liquid crystal panel 54 is arranged behind the front transparent liquid crystal panel 62 with an interval of several mm. A stereoscopic image can be perceived by changing the brightness of the image displayed on both transparent liquid crystal panels. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the perceived stereoscopic image 65 a is rearward as the luminance of the front image 63 a is lower than the luminance of the rear image 64 a. On the other hand, as the luminance of the front image 63b is higher than the luminance of the rear image 64b, the perceived stereoscopic image 35b is forward. On the other hand, when only the front image 63c or only the rear image is displayed, it is perceived as a flat image. In addition, when the brightness | luminance of a front image and a back image is equal, a stereo image is perceived in the middle vicinity. In this way, by controlling the brightness of the both transparent liquid crystal panels, it is possible to switch between a planar image and a stereoscopic image, and simultaneously display a planar image and a stereoscopic image.

  In the present embodiment, a liquid crystal display device using the DFD method is used as the stereoscopic display means. However, the present invention is not particularly limited as long as an image can be displayed stereoscopically. . For example, a display device using a red and blue spectacles system that enables stereoscopic viewing by displaying two images with binocular parallax using two colors (mainly red and blue) that are complementary colors, A display device using a polarizing filter system that enables stereoscopic viewing by displaying images on a screen through two orthogonal polarizing filters and observing with glasses having polarizing filters corresponding to them, and an image for the left eye And a display device using a time-sharing method that enables stereoscopic viewing by using a display device that periodically switches and displays the right-eye image and glasses that open and close the shutter according to the cycle of the display device, A parallax barrier method that enables stereoscopic viewing by arranging a barrier with fine slits in the direction and images for the left and right eyes cut out in the vertical direction and arranged alternately behind the barrier Display using a display system, a lens with a series of semi-cylindrical types, and a display using a lenticular system that enables stereoscopic viewing by cutting out images for the left and right eyes in the vertical direction and arranging them alternately behind the barrier Devices etc. are also included.

(Game state)
The gaming machine 1 configured as described above causes four types of game states to appear: “general gaming state”, “RT gaming state”, “RB gaming state”, and “BB gaming state”. Each of these “four types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of internally winning replays, the types of bonuses that can be established, and internal winnings. It is distinguished by the relationship with winning a prize.

  The “general gaming state” basically means a gaming state in which an expected value of a so-called “participation rate” (a gaming value given to a player with respect to a unit gaming value bet on a game) is smaller than “1”. This is a gaming state that is most disadvantageous for the player as compared to other gaming states.

  In the “general gaming state”, when the BB or RB is won internally and the BB or RB is not won, the symbol combination corresponding to the BB or RB is basically on the winning line over one or more games. It is allowed to line up along. When BB or RB is won internally in the “general gaming state”, the internal winning combination is set as a carryover combination and is carried over to the subsequent game. Here, the carry-over of the internal winning combination means that the BB and RB can be won even if the BB and RB are not internally won in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, in the internal winning state, BB and RB are not won internally, but when the internal winning combination is “None”, BB and RB can be won.

  The “BB gaming state” is generated when the BB is won internally and the BB is won in the “general gaming state” or the “replay time (RT) gaming state”. The BB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the active line in the “general gaming state”. The “BB gaming state” ends when the payout of a predetermined number of medals is completed. Further, in the present embodiment, “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” and “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” are internally independent and can be internally awarded simultaneously. There is sex.

  The “RB gaming state” has a higher expected value of the payout rate than the “general gaming state”, and is the most advantageous gaming state for the player as compared to other gaming states. In the present embodiment, the “RB gaming state” occurs when an RB (regular bonus) is won in the “general gaming state” or the “RT gaming state”. In other words, the RB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line in the “general gaming state” or the “RT gaming state”. The transition between the game states is performed when a combination of bonus symbols is displayed on the winning line.

  In the present embodiment, the “RT gaming state” is a gaming state that occurs after the “BB gaming state” or the “RB gaming state”. In the “RT gaming state”, the probability of winning a replay where the next game can be performed without inserting a medal is higher than in the “general gaming state”. That is, in the “RT gaming state”, there is a higher possibility that a game can be performed without reducing the number of medals than in the “general gaming state”, so that the number of medals can be increased little by little. Further, in the present embodiment, the “RT gaming state” is terminated when winning the “cherry small role” and shifts to the “general gaming state”.

  In the “RT gaming state”, a notification effect for navigating the player so as not to win the “cherry small role” may be executed. In addition, the start condition of the RT gaming state is not limited to after the “BB gaming state” or “RB gaming state”, and when the BB or RB is won internally, when the symbols of BB or RB are aligned, ”When a specific symbol is aligned, when“ BB gaming state ”or“ RB gaming state ”is completed, or when a predetermined number of games has elapsed since the specific symbol is aligned in“ general gaming state ”, It can be.

(Pattern combination and number of payouts)
Next, a description will be given of the relationship between the gaming state, the symbol combination indicating the winning, and the number of medals paid out. In the general gaming state, there is a possibility of winning “BB”, “RB”, “Replay”, “Watermelon Minor”, “Bell Minor” and “Cherry Minor” . “BB” is established by arranging “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” and “red 7-red 7-red 7” along the active line. The number of medals to be paid out when BB or RB is established is “0”. Further, “replay” is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay”. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. In the case of a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively.

  In the BB game state, there is a possibility of winning a replay (replay), a watermelon small part, a bell small part, or a cherry small part. In this embodiment, BB and RB are not won in the BB gaming state.

  In the RB game state, there is a possibility of winning a replay (replay), a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part. In the case of a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively. In the present embodiment, in the RB gaming state, “BB” and “RB” are not won.

(Operation of gaming machine 1: main control circuit 71)
In the above configuration, the control operation of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 of the gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to the main routine shown in FIG.

  First, when the power is turned on, the gaming machine 1 enters a state in which a game can be executed as a game execution means by executing the main routine of FIG. 6 in the main control circuit 71 and is not shown in the sub control circuit 72. By executing the effect processing routine, the liquid crystal display device 5 displays an effect image or the like, or outputs sound from the speakers 21L, 21R, and 21B, or enters a state where these can be performed.

(Operation of main control circuit 71: main routine)
When the main routine is executed by the main control circuit 71, as shown in FIG. 6, first, the CPU 31 performs initialization at the start of the game (A1). Specifically, initialization of the storage contents of the RAM 33, initialization of communication data, and the like are performed. Subsequently, the predetermined stored contents of the RAM 33 at the end of the game are erased (A2). Specifically, the data in the writable area of the RAM 33 used for the previous game is erased, the parameters necessary for the next game are written in the write area of the RAM 33, the start address of the sequence program for the next game, etc. I do. Next, a standby state is entered until there is an input from the inserted medal sensor 22S or the BET switches 11S and 12S (A3). When there is an input from the inserted medal sensor 22S, a medal insertion signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Then, it is determined whether or not the start switch 6S is turned on by operating the start lever 6 (A4).

  When the start switch 6S is not turned on (A4: NO), the CPU 31 waits for an input by repeating A4. When the start switch 6 is turned on (A4: YES), the reel rotation process is performed. And a reel rotation signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72 (A5). Thereafter, random numbers for lottery are extracted (A6). And CPU31 confirms and sets the game state in this game by performing a game state monitoring process (A7). That is, the game state of the current game is set to any one of the general game state, the BB game state, the RB game state, and the replay time (RT) game state, and a game state signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. Further, probability lottery processing is performed (A8), and an internal winning combination is determined according to a probability lottery table (not shown) and a game state. The determined internal winning combination is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. In the present embodiment, since a lottery is drawn for each combination, there is a possibility that a plurality of combinations will be won internally.

  In the present embodiment, a small combination and bonus can be drawn simultaneously, and in the RT gaming state, the winning probability of the re-playing combination is set to a value increased. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the bonus internal winning combination is carried over, but the small internal winning combination is not carried over and the bonus internal winning combination is not stocked.

  Subsequently, stop table group selection processing is executed (A9). Specifically, a specific stop table group is selected using the type of internal winning combination. The stop table group is used when the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped in the subsequent reel rotation stop processing. Here, the stop table signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Next, a reel rotation stop process is executed (A10). That is, the sliding frame number determination process for determining the number of sliding frames at the timing when any one of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R is pressed is performed. Specifically, the number of sliding symbols is determined based on the determined (selected) stop table, the determined internal winning combination, and the like. Subsequently, the reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed is rotated by the number of sliding frames and then stopped. Each time the stop button 7L, 7C or 7R is operated and the corresponding reel is stopped, a reel stop signal (left, middle, right) is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. Further, when all the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped, an all-reel stop signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72.

  Next, the CPU 31 makes a winning determination (A11). The winning determination is to identify a winning combination (a winning combination) based on a stop mode of each symbol of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Then, the winning signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Thereafter, the acquired medal is credited or paid out (A12). Specifically, when a medal is acquired by winning, the payout number display unit 18 displays the acquired number of medals. Then, by switching the C / P button 14 by the player, it is determined whether to credit the acquired medal into the gaming machine 1 or pay out the medal from the medal payout exit 15. The credited medals can be bet by pressing the BET buttons 11 and 12 in the next game. Note that there is no payout at the time of bonus winning, and payout is made only at the time of winning a small role.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is “BB gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (A13). When it is determined that the gaming state is “BB gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (A13: YES), a bonus payout number check process is performed (A15). Specifically, when the predetermined payout number has been reached, the bonus ends.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the bonus is over (A15). If it is determined that the bonus is not finished (A15: NO), A2 is re-executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus is ended (A15: YES), a bonus end process is executed (A16), and a bonus end signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72.

  Next, it is determined whether or not RT is started (A17). For example, when the bonus is BB or when the bonus is RB and a predetermined combination (bell, replay) is established in the last game of RB, it is determined that RT has started. When it is determined that the RT has started (A17: YES), the RT gaming state is set (A18), and A2 is re-executed. Specifically, the RT start signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, and the gaming state is changed (set) to the RT gaming state. A predetermined RT number is set according to the type of bonus.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in A17 that the RT has not started (A17: NO), the gaming state is shifted to the general gaming state (A23), and A2 is re-executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in A13 that the gaming state is not “BB gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (A13: NO), it is determined whether or not a bonus is won (A19). Specifically, if the winning combination is “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” or “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7”, it is determined that the bonus has been won. If it is determined that the bonus is won (A19: YES), the gaming state is set to the bonus gaming state (A20), and A2 is re-executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in A19 that the bonus has not been won (A19: NO), it is determined whether or not the RT has ended (A21). Specifically, when the number of RTs is “0” or a cherry is won, it is determined that RT has ended. If it is determined that the RT has not ended (A21: NO), the number of RTs stored in the RAM 33 is subtracted, and A2 is executed again. On the other hand, when it is determined that the RT has ended (A21: YES), RT end processing is performed (A22), and an RT end signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. Next, the game state is set to the general game state (A23), and A2 is re-executed.

(Operation of gaming machine 1: sub-control circuit 72)
When various processes are executed by the main routine in the main control circuit 71, results and contents corresponding to the processes are input to the sub-control circuit 72 as commands and data. In the sub control circuit 72, an effect processing routine or the like (not shown) is executed independently. Then, the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, 4R, an effect image based on the command, and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 by executing the effect processing routine. For example, when a command indicating the insertion of medals is input, an effect image that prompts the user to operate the start lever 6 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5. Further, with the production from the liquid crystal display device 5 or independently, the production with the light output from the LED lamp 29 and the production with the sound output from the speakers 21L, 21R, and 21B are performed.

  The display of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R in the effect processing routine is performed in synchronization with the symbol variation display of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. As a synchronization method, a reel position detection signal sent from the reel position detection circuit 47 to the main control circuit 71 is transmitted from the main control circuit 71 to the sub control circuit 72, and the reel position detection signal is received at the timing when the reel position detection signal is received. Control is performed so that the same symbols as those displayed by 3L, 3C, and 3R are displayed.

  On the other hand, when displaying a stereoscopic image such as a symbol image corresponding to the internal winning combination, the symbol variation display of the reels 3L, 3C and 3R is synchronized with the symbol variation display of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C and 4R, The variable display of the stereoscopic image is slowed down. When the display of the stereoscopic symbols is finished, the symbol variation display and the synchronous display of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are performed again.

  In addition, the reel images used when displaying the reel images of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R in the effect processing routine are the front liquid crystal data and the rear liquid crystal data for each pseudo reel stored in the image control work RAM 83. Is used. Similarly, as the symbol image used when displaying each symbol image, the image data indicating the front liquid crystal data and the rear liquid crystal data of each symbol image stored in the image control work RAM 83 is used.

  As an example of this, the front liquid crystal data indicating red 7 stored in the image control work RAM 83 indicates the image 63 a and the rear liquid crystal data indicating red 7 stored in the image control work RAM 83. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the front image 63a is displayed on the front liquid crystal, and the rear image 64a is displayed on the rear liquid crystal. Thereby, the player recognizes the stereoscopic image 65a.

  As another example, the front liquid crystal data indicating red 7 stored in the image control work RAM 83 indicates the image 63c, and the rear surface indicating red 7 stored in the image control work RAM 83. When the liquid crystal data indicates NULL (nothing), the front image 63c is displayed on the front liquid crystal as shown in FIG. 3, and the rear image is not displayed on the rear liquid crystal. Thereby, the planar image 63c is recognized by the player.

(Operation of sub-control circuit 72: image stereoscopic processing routine)
Further, in the sub-control circuit 72, the image stereoscopic processing routine shown in FIG. 7 is executed in parallel with the above-described effect processing routine.

  That is, when the image stereoscopic processing routine is executed, as shown in FIG. 7, first, the sub CPU 74 determines whether or not the internal winning signal is received from the main control circuit 71 (B1). When it is determined that the internal winning signal has been received (B1: YES), the front liquid crystal data for the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination stored in the image control work RAM 83 is added to the front image data for the stereoscopic image of the symbol. Is stored (B2). Next, data indicating the rear image data for the three-dimensional image of the symbol is stored in the rear surface liquid crystal data corresponding to the internal winning combination stored in the image control work RAM 83 (B3), and B1 is re-executed. To do.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in B1 that the internal winning signal has not been received (B1: NO), it is determined whether a reel rotation signal has been received from the main control circuit 71 (B4). When it is determined that the reel rotation signal has been received (B4: YES), the data indicating the front image data for the flat image of the symbol is included in the front liquid crystal data for all symbols stored in the image control work RAM 83. Is stored (B5). Next, the data indicating the rear image data for the flat image of the symbol is stored in all the rear liquid crystal data for the symbol stored in the image control work RAM 83 (B6), and B1 is re-executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined at B4 that the sub CP 74 has not received the reel rotation signal (B4: NO), B1 is re-executed.

  In the present embodiment, the image three-dimensional processing routine performs a process of three-dimensionalizing a symbol image. However, in the present invention, the image three-dimensional processing routine may be a process of three-dimensionalizing a pseudo reel image. Specifically, in the above-described image stereoscopic processing routine, step B2 is performed as follows: “The front liquid crystal image of the pseudo reel corresponding to the data for the front liquid crystal of the pseudo reel corresponding to the internal winning combination stored in the image control work RAM 83”. The data indicating the data is stored ", and step B3 is set to" rear surface liquid crystal data corresponding to the internal winning combination stored in the image control work RAM 83 and rear image data for the stereoscopic image of the pseudo reel. The data indicating the front image data for the planar image of the pseudo reel is added to the data for the front liquid crystal of the pseudo reel corresponding to the internal winning combination stored in the image control work RAM 83. Step B6 is set to “pseudo resource corresponding to the internal winning combination stored in the image control work RAM 83”. To face liquid crystal data after Le, it may be a "store data of a surface image data after for a flat image of the pseudo reels.

(effect)
Thus, an internal winning combination is determined by the start of the game and the gaming state, and the internal winning combination is determined. When a symbol variably displayed by the three-dimensional display means is won internally, the symbol is switched from planar view to stereoscopic view. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize a stereoscopic or planar view corresponding to the internal winning combination.

  In this way, when the symbol variation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is synchronized with the symbol variation of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R, and the symbol that is winning internally is displayed on the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R, The symbol variation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and the symbol variation of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R become asynchronous, and the variation display of the pseudo reels 4L, 4C, and 4R is delayed. Therefore, when the symbol image corresponding to the internal winning combination is displayed by switching to a stereoscopic view or a planar view, and the symbol image corresponding to the internal winning combination is variably displayed, it is more pseudo than the symbol variation display of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Since the variation display of the reels 4L, 4C, and 4R is delayed, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize a three-dimensional or planar symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination.

  In this way, the liquid crystal display device 5 displays a reel image having a design image on the outer peripheral surface, and switches between a stereoscopic view and a planar view of the reel image based on the internal winning combination. Therefore, the player can recognize a stereoscopic or planar reel image based on the internal winning combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the image stereoscopic processing is performed as the control means. However, in the present invention, the display is particularly limited as long as the design image is switched to the stereoscopic view or the planar view. is not.
