(Outline of operation of gaming machine in this embodiment)
Next, a characteristic operation of the gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. As described above, the distance measuring sensor 60 is disposed around the image display 21 on the game board 2 of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment (FIG. 1). The distance measuring sensor 60 is an optical distance measuring sensor such as a triangulation method, for example, and measures the distance to a detection target (player). Specifically, a distance measuring sensor 60a is disposed at the center in the horizontal direction of the screen of the image display 21 and above the upper end of the screen. Further, a distance measuring sensor 60b is disposed on the left side of the left end of the screen of the image display 21 and a distance measuring sensor 60c is disposed on the right side of the right end of the screen of the image display 21.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating points at which the distance measuring sensors 60 measure distances. In FIG. 5, when each distance measuring sensor 60 and the player are overlapped, the points measured by each distance measuring sensor 60 are shown from the back of the player. As shown in FIG. 5, the distance measuring sensor 60a measures the distance to the player's head (face). That is, when a player with an average physique (height, sitting height) sits in a seat installed in front of the gaming machine 1 and plays a game, the distance measuring sensor 60a reaches the head of the player. Arranged. The distance measuring sensor 60b measures the distance to the player's left shoulder, and the distance measuring sensor 60c measures the distance to the player's right shoulder. The distance measuring sensor 60b and the distance measuring sensor 60c are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction of the screen of the image display 21. The distance between the distance measuring sensor 60b and the distance measuring sensor 60c is set to be narrower than the shoulder width of the average physique player.

  By disposing the distance measuring sensors 60a to 60c as described above, the relative position of the player with respect to the gaming machine 1 (the distance between the player and the image display 21, based on the measurement results of the distance measuring sensors 60a to 60c). In addition, the player can determine the deviation in the left-right direction with respect to the image display 21.

  In other words, the distance sensor 60a can measure the distance from the gaming machine 1 (image display 21) to the player's head (face). Thereby, it can be determined whether or not the distance between the player and the image display 21 is a distance at which the stereoscopic image displayed on the image display 21 can be stereoscopically viewed. FIG. 6 is a diagram conceptually showing the distance to the player and the stereoscopically viewable range. As described above, the image display 21 is a display device capable of displaying a stereoscopic image, and the left-eye image and the right-eye image are visually recognized by the player's left eye through the parallax barrier. Thus, strip-shaped left-eye images and right-eye images in which pixels are arranged vertically are displayed alternately arranged in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 6, when the distance from the gaming machine 1 to the player is within a stereoscopically viewable range, the left eye image is displayed on the player's left eye and the right eye on the right eye via the parallax barrier of the image display 21. The images for the right eye are respectively visually recognized. However, if the distance from the gaming machine 1 to the player is not within a stereoscopically viewable range, the left and right eyes cannot be viewed with the left and right eyes through the parallax barrier, and the player can view the image in three dimensions. It cannot be visually recognized.

  Therefore, when the distance from the gaming machine 1 to the player, which is measured by the distance measuring sensor 60a, is not within a stereoscopically viewable range, the gaming machine 1 moves the face to the stereoscopically visible range with respect to the player. Inform you. Specifically, when the player is too far away from the gaming machine 1, the gaming machine 1 notifies the player to approach the gaming machine 1. For example, the gaming machine 1 displays a message that prompts the player to approach the gaming machine 1 (image display 21) on the image display 21, or informs the player by voice so as to approach the gaming machine 1. To do.

  In this way, by measuring the distance from the gaming machine 1 to the player, it can be determined whether or not the player is viewing the image display 21 from a stereoscopically viewable range. , It can be urged to move to a stereoscopically viewable range.

  When the player sits in front of the gaming machine 1 and looks at the gaming machine 1 (image display 21), the distance measuring sensors 60a to 60c are respectively the head, left shoulder, and right shoulder of the player. Measure the distance to. When the player views the gaming machine 1 from the front, the distance to the player measured by the distance measuring sensors 60a to 60c is substantially equal or has a predetermined relationship. Specifically, the distances measured by the distance measuring sensors 60b and 60c are substantially equal. The distance measured by the distance measuring sensor 60a is substantially equal to the distance measured by the distance measuring sensors 60b and 60c, or is closer to the distance measured by the distance measuring sensors 60b and 60c by a predetermined value. Therefore, based on the measurement results of the three distance measuring sensors 60, whether or not the position (posture) of the player is the correct position (the player does not deviate in the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1 and the gaming machine 1 It is possible to determine whether or not the distance from is within a predetermined range. If the distance measuring sensors 60a and 60b detect the distance to the player and the distance measuring sensor 60c cannot detect the player, the gaming machine 1 determines that the player is sitting from the left. Can do. As described above, it is possible to determine whether or not the position of the player's face is shifted in the left-right direction with respect to the image display 21 based on the measurement results of the three distance measuring sensors 60.

  When the player is sitting in the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1, the player may not be able to visually recognize the image displayed on the image display 21. FIG. 7 is a diagram conceptually showing a stereoscopically viewable range regarding the position of the player in the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1. As shown in FIG. 7, there is a range in which the player can visually recognize an image three-dimensionally in the left and right position of the player's face with respect to the gaming machine 1. If the player's face does not exist within a stereoscopically viewable range, the player cannot stereoscopically view the image. Therefore, for example, when the player's face is shifted to the left with respect to the gaming machine 1, the gaming machine 1 notifies the player to move the position of the face to the right. Thus, the player's posture can be determined based on the measurement results of the three distance measuring sensors 60. Then, the gaming machine 1 can prompt the player to view the image display 21 in a correct posture according to the determination result.

(Details of processing)
Next, the process performed in the production | presentation control part 400 for performing the alert | report by the above gaming machines 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing details of processing performed by the effect control unit 400.

  As described above, the main control unit 100 transmits a special symbol variation start command to the effect control unit 400 in response to winning of the game ball at the start port (the first start port 25a or the second start port 25b). Based on the change start command, the effect control unit 400 determines the contents of the effect (the image effect displayed on the image display 21, the effect by the movable accessory 22, etc.), and executes the effect. The processing shown in FIG. 8 is performed by reading a predetermined program stored in the ROM 402 into the RAM 403 after the above processing is completed and executing the program by the CPU 401. In FIG. 8, the processes related to the above-described notification to the player are mainly shown, and the processes not directly related to this are omitted. Further, the process shown in FIG. 8 is repeatedly executed at predetermined time intervals.

  First, in step S10, the effect control unit 400 determines whether it is time to display a stereoscopic image (3D image). In response to a change start command from the main control unit 100, the effect control unit 400 displays, as a 2D moving image, a state in which a decorative symbol indicating a special symbol changes or a predetermined character for the effect moves. Display on the device 21. Then, the effect control unit 400 switches the moving image from 2D to 3D at a predetermined timing according to the change start command. Accordingly, a stereoscopic moving image (3D moving image) is displayed on the image display 21. In step S10, the effect control unit 400 determines whether or not the display timing of the stereoscopic video image has come. If the determination result is affirmative, the effect control unit 400 next executes a process of step S11. On the other hand, when the determination result is negative, the effect control unit 400 next executes a process of step S16.

  In step S <b> 11, the effect control unit 400 acquires the measurement result of each distance measuring sensor 60 and stores it in the RAM 403. Next, the effect control unit 400 executes the process of step S12.

  In step S <b> 12, the effect control unit 400 detects the position (posture) of the player's face based on the measurement result by the distance measuring sensor 60. Specifically, the effect control unit 400 determines the distance between the gaming machine 1 and the player (the direction perpendicular to the gaming board 2 (the front-rear direction with respect to the gaming machine 1)) based on the measurement result of the distance measuring sensor 60a. ) Is detected. Further, the effect control unit 400 detects the position of the player in the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1 based on the measurement results of the distance measuring sensors 60b and c. Next, the effect control unit 400 executes the process of step S13.

  In step S13, the effect control unit 400 determines whether the face position is within a stereoscopically viewable range. That is, the effect control unit 400 determines whether or not the face position is within a predetermined stereoscopic view range based on the detection result of step S12. Specifically, the effect control unit 400 determines whether or not the distance from the gaming machine 1 to the player is within a predetermined stereoscopic view based on the measurement result of the distance measuring sensor 60a. In addition, the effect control unit 400 determines whether or not the player is displaced in the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1 based on the measurement results of the distance measuring sensors 60b and 60c. For example, if the distance measured by the distance measuring sensor 60a is not within a predetermined range (for example, several tens of cm to 1 m), the effect control unit 400 determines that the player's face is not within a range where stereoscopic viewing is possible. Further, for example, when the distance measuring sensor 60b detects the player and the distance measuring sensor 60c does not detect the player (the detection result of the distance measuring sensor 60c is a predetermined threshold (for example, 1.2 m)). If it exceeds, the player determines that the player is shifted to the left with respect to the gaming machine 1 and determines that the player's face is not within a stereoscopically viewable range. If the determination result is negative, the effect control unit 400 next executes the process of step S14. On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative, the effect control unit 400 executes the process of step S15.

  In step S <b> 14, the effect control unit 400 executes notification processing according to the position of the player's face. Specifically, the effect control unit 400 notifies the player to move the face to the correct position according to the determination result of step S13. For example, the effect control unit 400 displays a message (for example, “Please bring your face closer to the screen” or the like) on the image display 21 so that the player moves forward. Further, for example, the effect control unit 400 displays on the image display 21 a message that prompts the player to move to the right. Next, the effect control unit 400 executes the process of step S15.

  In step S15, the effect control unit 400 causes the image display 21 to display a 3D image (stereoscopic image). That is, the effect control unit 400 sets the parallax barrier of the image display device 21 to ON, and sends a control command to the image sound control unit 500 so that the image display device 21 outputs the left-eye image and the right-eye image. Send. As a result, a stereoscopic image is displayed on the image display 21. After step S15, the effect control unit 400 ends the process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S10 is negative, the process of step S16 is performed. In step S <b> 16, the effect control unit 400 causes the image display 21 to display a 2D image. That is, the effect control unit 400 transmits a control command to the image sound control unit 500 so as to display a 2D image on the image display 21. As a result, a 2D image is displayed on the image display 21.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the position of the player's face is detected, and it is determined whether or not the position is within a range where the image can be stereoscopically viewed. And according to a determination result, the alerting | reporting for encouraging to move a player's face in the range which can view an image stereoscopically can be performed. Thereby, the player can easily recognize the stereoscopically viewable range and can easily stereoscopically view the image.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the notification process (S14; notification for causing the player to adjust the face position) is performed according to the measurement result of the distance measuring sensor. In other embodiments, the notification process is performed. Thereafter, the image display mode may be switched from 3D to 2D. Specifically, in another embodiment, when it is determined NO in step S13, the notification process (S14) may be performed, and then the 2D image display process in step S16 may be performed. That is, when it is determined as NO in step S13, it is difficult for the player to view the 3D image (stereoscopic image) displayed on the monk display 21 stereoscopically. In this case, 3D You may perform 2D display, without performing display.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the player's attitude | position was determined in the timing switched from 2D image to 3D image, and it alert | reported with respect to the player according to the determination result. In another embodiment, a 3D image may be displayed on the image display 21 at all times, and the player may be informed constantly according to the player's posture.

  In the above embodiment, the relative position of the player with respect to the gaming machine 1 is measured by a plurality of distance measuring sensors, but any means for detecting the relative position of the player may be used. For example, in another embodiment, the distance to the player may be measured using a distance image sensor (camera) that can measure the distance for each pixel. Using the image acquired by the distance image sensor, the player's face in the image is recognized by pattern matching or the like. Based on the recognition result, it is possible to detect the position in the front-rear direction of the player's face relative to the gaming machine 1 (the position in the imaging direction of the camera) and the position in the left-right direction. In another embodiment, the position in the front-rear direction and the position in the left-right direction of the player may be detected by separate detection means. For example, the position in the front-rear direction may be detected using a distance measuring sensor, and the position in the left-right direction may be detected using a camera.

  In other embodiments, the distance measuring sensors 60b and 60c may be replaced with sensors that detect only the presence or absence of the player. That is, in order to detect whether or not the player is displaced in the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1, it is not always necessary to measure the distance to the player.

  As described above, the detection means (the distance measuring sensor, the distance image sensor, etc.) for detecting the relative position of the player with respect to the gaming machine 1 (the position in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction with respect to the gaming machine 1) The position may be detected, and it may be determined whether or not the position is within a range in which the image can be viewed stereoscopically (range in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction). In another embodiment, it may be determined whether or not the position of one of the front-rear direction and the left-right direction with respect to the gaming machine 1 is within a stereoscopically viewable range.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the player is notified by displaying a message on the image display 21. In another embodiment, the notification may be performed by voice, a lamp issue pattern, or the like.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the position of the face was not in the range which can be viewed stereoscopically, the message which prompts the player to move the position of the face was displayed. In another embodiment, when the position of the face is within a stereoscopically viewable range, an image or the like indicating that the current face position is a stereoscopically visible position may be displayed. The player can recognize from the image that the current face position is correct, and when the image is displayed, the player can view the image stereoscopically by focusing the eyes. Can do.

  As described above, the following configuration may be employed in the present invention.

  A gaming machine (1) according to a first configuration is a gaming machine having an image display (21) that displays a stereoscopic image that can be stereoscopically viewed with the naked eye, and the relative position of the player with respect to the gaming machine Detection means (60, 400, S12) for detecting the position of the player, and whether or not the position of the player detected by the detection means is within a range where the image displayed on the image display can be viewed stereoscopically Information indicating that the position of the player is outside the range in which the player can view stereoscopically, according to the determination result by the determination means (400, S13) And informing means (400, S14) for informing the player of information indicating that it is.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to detect the relative position of the player with respect to the gaming machine, determine whether or not the position is in a stereoscopic view range (front-rear direction, left-right direction), and notify according to the determination result. . Thereby, the player can easily recognize a position where stereoscopic viewing is possible.

  In the second configuration, the detection means measures a distance from the gaming machine to the player, and the determination means determines whether or not the distance from the gaming machine to the player is within the stereoscopic view range. You may judge.

  According to this configuration, the distance between the gaming machine and the player can be measured, and it can be determined whether or not the position of the player in the front-rear direction is a stereoscopically viewable position. Thereby, the player can easily recognize the position in the front-rear direction in which stereoscopic viewing is possible, and can easily stereoscopically view the image.

  In the third configuration, an effect control means (400, which executes an effect by switching between a 3D effect mode for performing an image effect using the stereoscopic image and a 2D effect mode for performing an image effect using a 2D image. S15, S16) may be further provided.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to switch between an effect using a three-dimensional image and an effect using a two-dimensional image. Thereby, for example, when developing into reach, the 2D effect mode can be switched to the 3D effect mode, and the effect can be enhanced.

  In the fourth configuration, the effect control unit may switch to the three-dimensional effect mode only when the determination result by the determination unit is affirmative.

  According to this configuration, a stereoscopic image can be displayed only when the player is within a range where the image can be stereoscopically viewed. For example, if a stereoscopic image is displayed until the player is in a range where stereoscopic viewing is not possible, the screen looks blurry, which is a burden on the player's eyes. According to this, since the stereoscopic image is displayed only when the player is in a stereoscopically viewable range, such a burden on the player can be reduced.

  In the fifth configuration, the determination means determines whether or not the position of the player is within a stereoscopically viewable range when the effect control means switches from the two-dimensional effect mode to the three-dimensional effect mode. May be.
