I do. The variable display device 9 is controlled by devices such as an effect control microcomputer 81 (see FIG. 3) mounted on an effect control board 80 described later.

  The special symbol display 8 is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7-segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers 0 to 9, for example.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the variable display device 9 irradiates the liquid crystal panel 9a for displaying a stereoscopic image (video) and the planar light from the rear side to the front side of the liquid crystal panel 9a for image. An image display comprising an integral imaging type autostereoscopic display liquid crystal display device having a backlight 9c and a vertical lenticular sheet 9b as an emission direction limiting element provided on a substantially entire front surface of the image liquid crystal panel 9a. Realized in the device. The variation display device 9 performs a variation display of the decorative symbol during the variation display period of the special symbol by the special symbol indicator 8.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display device 9 will be described with reference to an example in which a liquid crystal display device is used as the image liquid crystal panel 9a. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. Any display device capable of display is acceptable, and an organic or inorganic electroluminescence (EL) panel, display device of other image display forms such as PDP (Plasma Display Panel), dot matrix LED, FED (Field Emission Display), etc. It may be constituted by.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the image liquid crystal panel 9a has a plurality of pixels P each of which is composed of three primary colors (RGB) arranged in the vertical direction and having independent luminance information for each primary color in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. Arranged and configured. As shown in FIG. 7, each pixel P will be described in detail. Each pixel P is composed of nine subpixels p1 to p9 that are each composed of three primary colors (RGB) and are divided into a comparatively long length. Arranged and configured. Hereinafter, each subpixel for each pixel P will be described with subpixel numbers p1 to p9 from the left to the right in the drawing. The sub-pixels p1 to p9 having the same sub-pixel number among the plurality of adjacent pixels P display the stereoscopic images A to I or the non-stereo image a corresponding to the sub-pixels p1 to p9.

  More specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 8A, when displaying a stereoscopic image, the display control unit 213 displays, for example, stereoscopic images A to P that are different parallax images on the subpixels p1 to p9 of each pixel P. I is displayed, and when a non-stereo image is displayed as shown in FIG. 8B, the same non-stereo image a is displayed on all the subpixels p1 to p9 of each pixel P. It is supposed to be.

  Further, the display control unit 213 to be described later separately displays different parallax images or the same parallax image for each of the sub-pixels p1 to p9 of each pixel P according to the type of performance of the pachinko machine 1, the position of the player, and the like. Control to display or black display (non-display) control is performed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the vertical lenticular sheet 9b is made of a thin plate member made of a light-transmitting material, and the back surface to be attached to the image liquid crystal panel 9a is formed in a substantially flat shape. The front surface, which is the side, is formed in a curved surface that bulges in a substantially bowl shape toward the player side in a continuous manner in a wavy shape that is approximately equal to the horizontal width of each pixel P.

  In more detail, as shown in FIG. 7, the vertical lenticular sheet 9 b is most facing toward the front surface of each pixel P at the position of the central subpixel p5 among the nine subpixels arranged side by side on the left and right of each pixel P. It is formed as a bulging curved surface, and is used as a lens that radiates a maximum of nine parallax images constituting a stereoscopic image displayed on each of the sub-pixels p1 to p9 in nine different directions. That is, the vertical lenticular sheet 9b limits the emission direction of each parallax image light emitted from each subpixel p1 to p9 to a predetermined direction corresponding to the parallax image.

  The aspect of the stereoscopic image that can be viewed from the viewpoint position of the player will be described in detail. For example, when the player sets the viewpoint position to the front of the pachinko machine 1, the display target sub-position located at the center among the nine sub-pixels p1 to p9. Only the image displayed on the pixel p5 can be viewed, and the remaining subpixels p1 to p4 and p6 to p9 other than the display target subpixel p5 in this case cannot be viewed. Accordingly, the player visually recognizes the display target subpixel p5 of each pixel P in this case, and thereby recognizes the stereoscopic image E of the predetermined display object corresponding to the image viewed from the frontal position as the viewing position as the display object. be able to. In the side area of the screen, the display target subpixel may be corrected according to the size of the screen in response to the change in the viewing direction.

  Similarly, for example, when the player sets the viewpoint position to the left slightly from the front in front of the pachinko machine 1, the player is displayed on, for example, the display target subpixel p3 located slightly to the left of the center among the nine subpixels p1 to p9. In this case, the remaining subpixels p1, p2, and p4 to p9 other than the display target subpixel p3 cannot be viewed. Therefore, the player visually recognizes the image displayed on the display target sub-pixel p3 in this case, so that the three-dimensional image C of the predetermined display object corresponding to the image visually recognized from the position slightly on the left side from the front in front as the viewing position. Can be recognized as a display object.

  That is, on each of the subpixels p1 to p9, stereoscopic images A to I of a predetermined display object corresponding to the images of the display object viewed from different viewing positions can be displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an imaging unit 11 as a detecting means for detecting the position of the player is provided at the upper position of the variation display device 9.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a start winning device 15 having a first starting port 15 a and a second starting port 15 b as a winning region that can accept a pachinko ball is provided below the fluctuation display device 9. In the start winning device 15, the first start port 15a is provided in the upper part, and the second start port 15b is provided in the lower part. A pair of movable pieces 13 and 13 are provided on the left and right sides of the second start port 15b in such a manner that an opening / closing operation can be performed. The first start port 15a is open upward and is always in a state where a pachinko ball can enter (accept). On the other hand, the second start port 15b is provided with a structure around the first start port 15a above and the movable pieces 13 and 13 are provided on the left and right, so that the movable pieces 13 and 13 are in a closed state. When the movable pieces 13 and 13 are in an open state, the pachinko ball can enter (accept). Thus, the first start port 15a does not change the easiness of winning, and the second start port 15b changes the easiness of winning according to the opening / closing operation of the movable pieces 13, 13.

  The starting prize-winning device 15 is able to win in the state where the movable pieces 13 and 13 are in the closed state, although it is difficult to win in the second starting port 15b (that is, the pachinko ball has won a prize). It may be configured to be difficult). In addition, the start winning device 15 may be provided with only the first start port 15a that does not change the easiness of winning as a start port, and it is easy to win by opening and closing the movable pieces 13, 13. Only the second start port 15b whose height changes may be provided.

  The movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start prize-winning device 15 are driven by the solenoid 16 when an opening condition described later is satisfied, so that the movable pieces 13 and 13 are opened from the closed state for a predetermined period and then closed. When the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15 are in the open state, the pachinko ball is easy to win the second start port 15b (easy to start start) and is advantageous to the player (first state). ) On the other hand, when the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15 are in the closed state, the pachinko ball does not win the second start opening 15b (it becomes difficult to start winning), which is a disadvantageous state for the player (second state). State). The winning ball that has entered the first start port 15a is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the first start port switch 14a. The winning ball that has entered the second start port 15b is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start port switch 14b.

  The predetermined number of the game board 6 displays four numbers indicating the number of valid winning balls that have entered the first starting port switch 14a or the second starting port switch 14b, that is, the number of reserved memories (also referred to as starting memory or starting winning memory). A special symbol storage memory display 18 (see FIG. 3) is provided. The special symbol reservation storage display 18 displays up to four reservation storage numbers in the order of winning. The special symbol hold memory display 18 increases the stored data in the hold memory by 1 and increases the number of LEDs in the lit state by 1 every time there is a start winning in the first start port 15a or the second start port 15b. Each time the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display, the special symbol storage memory display 18 decreases the storage data of the storage by 1 and decreases the number of LEDs in the lit state by 1 (that is, one LED Is turned off. Specifically, the special symbol hold storage display 18 shifts the lighting state every time the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display. In this example, an upper limit number (up to 4) is provided for the number of reserved memories by winning to the first start port 15a or the second start port 15b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper limit number of the reserved storage number may be a value of 4 or more, or may be a value less than 4.

  A special variable winning ball device 20 using an opening / closing plate that is opened and closed by a solenoid 21 is provided below the start winning device 15. The special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is provided with a big winning opening that is opened and closed by an opening / closing plate, and the opening / closing plate is controlled to an open state (first state) advantageous to the player in the big hit gaming state, and the big hit gaming state In other states, the open / close plate is controlled to a closed state (second state) which is disadvantageous to the player. As described above, the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 satisfies the release condition when it enters the big hit gaming state. Of the winning balls that are won in the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 and guided to the back of the game board 6, the winning ball that has entered one (V winning area: special area) and the pachinko ball that has entered the other area are counted as they are. 23. A solenoid 21a (see FIG. 3) for switching the route in the special winning opening is also provided on the back of the game board 6.

  When the pachinko ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the variable display on the normal symbol display 10 which displays the normal symbols as a plurality of types of identification information in a variable manner is started. In this embodiment, left and right LEDs (not shown) are turned on alternately by turning on the LEDs alternately. For example, if the left LED is turned on at the end of the change display, it becomes a hit. . When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 becomes a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the opening condition of the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15 is established, and the movable pieces 13 and 13 in the start winning device 15 are 13 is opened for a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, the normal symbol holding memory display 41 (see FIG. 3) having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of memorized effective passing spheres that have passed through the gate 32, that is, the starting passing memorized number. ) Is provided. Every time there is a pachinko ball passing through the gate 32, the stored data of the start passing memory is incremented by 1, and the normal symbol holding memory display 41 increments the LED to be lit by 1. Then, every time the variable display on the normal symbol display 10 is started, the stored data of the start passage memory is decreased by 1, and the LED to be lit is decreased by 1.

On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a top lamp module 530 in which various LEDs such as a rotating body LED are incorporated, a left light emitting unit 28L in which a left frame LED 28b (see FIG. 3) is incorporated, and a right frame LED 28c (see FIG. 3). ) Is built in. Further, a decoration LED is installed around each structure (such as a big prize opening) in the game area 7. The LED for the rotating body, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c, and the decoration LED are examples of the decoration light emitter provided in the pachinko machine 1.

  In this example, a prize ball LED 51 that is lit during award ball payout is provided at a predetermined position of the left light emitting unit 28L, and a ball break LED 52 that is lit when a supply ball is cut is provided at a predetermined position of the right frame LED 28c. Is provided.

  Various light emitting means such as prize ball LED 51, ball-out LED 52, decoration LED 25 a, left frame LED 28 b, right frame LED 28 c, and each LED in the top lamp module 530 are based on the effect control command output from the main board 31. Lighting control (LED control) is performed based on the serial signal output from the computer 81. In addition, sound generation control (sound control) from the speakers 27L, 27R, 27a, and 27b is also performed by the effect control microcomputer 81.

  A pachinko ball launched from a hitting ball launcher (not shown) by operating the hitting operation handle 5 of the player enters the game area 7 through a hitting guide rail (not shown), and then descends the game area 7. When a pachinko ball enters the first start port 15a and is detected by the first start port switch 14a, or enters the second start port 15b and is detected by the second start port switch 14b, a special symbol variation display is displayed. If it can be started, the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 starts to be displayed in a variable manner. If the special symbol variable display is not ready to start, the number of reserved memories is increased by one.

  The variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 stops when the variation display time set every time the variation display is performed. If the special symbol (stop symbol) at the time of stoppage is a jackpot symbol (also referred to as a jackpot display result) as a specific display result, it will be a jackpot and the game will shift to a jackpot gaming state. In the big hit gaming state, the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is released until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of pachinko balls wins. Then, if the pachinko ball wins the V winning area while the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened and is detected by the count switch 23, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is permitted with a predetermined number of times such as 15 rounds as an upper limit value. Such control is called repeated continuation control. In the repeated continuation control, a state in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 20 is opened is called a round.

  If the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 at the time of stoppage is a predetermined special big-hit symbol (probable variation big-hit symbol) among the big-hit symbols (probability big-hit symbol) ) Becomes a more advantageous state for the player, a probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as a probability variation state) that becomes higher than the normal gaming state, which is a normal state different from the big hit gaming state. Hereinafter, the probability variation state is also referred to as a high probability state (sometimes abbreviated as a high probability state). Further, the non-probable change state is also referred to as a low probability state (sometimes abbreviated as a low probability state).

  In addition, when the display result of the special symbol when the variable display on the special symbol display 8 is stopped is the probability variation big hit symbol, the variable time is reduced after the big hit gaming state, and the control is performed for a predetermined period of time. The Compared to the normal gaming state, the time-short state is a variation display time of each of the special symbol display 8, the variation display device 9, and the normal symbol display 10 (the time from the start of variation to the time when the display result is derived and displayed). ) Is a control state in which display results are derived and displayed at an early stage. Further, during the time-short state, the probability that the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol is increased, and the opening time of the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15 is lengthened and the number of times of opening is increased. . During the time-short state, since the display time of the symbol variation is shortened, the number of reserved memories to be described later is digested early, and the start winning that occurs exceeding the upper limit (for example, “4”) of the number of reserved memories becomes invalid. Since it is easy to derive and display the jackpot display result early in the short term, it is easy to derive and display the jackpot display result early, so the display result of the variable display is likely to become the display result of the jackpot symbol from a time efficient viewpoint It becomes a gaming state advantageous to the player. As described above, in the case of a probable big hit, the high probability state and the short time state are controlled in a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state. The short time state over a predetermined period after the end of the jackpot gaming state is the earlier, until the next jackpot gaming state occurs or until the special symbols and decorative symbols are displayed a predetermined number of times (100 times). Continue until either condition is met.

  Also, when considering the payout of pachinko balls according to the winning, the time-short state is shorter than the non-time-short state and the normal symbol variation display time is shortened, and the stop symbol in the normal symbol display 10 becomes a winning symbol. The probability is increased, the opening time of the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15 at the time of winning is lengthened, and the number of times of opening the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the starting winning device 15 at the time of hitting is increased. Based on this, the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15 are likely to be in an open state as compared with the normal gaming state. Accordingly, in the short-time state, it is easy to generate a prize (including both a case where the start prize is valid and a case where the prize is invalid) in the second start port 15b, so the number of pachinko balls ( The ratio of the number of pachinko balls (the number of balls to be paid out) to be paid out as winning balls according to the winning is greater than the number of hitting balls) as compared to the normal gaming state. In general, the ratio of the number of paid-out balls for winning a prize to the number of shot balls is called “base”. For example, when there are 40 payout balls with respect to 100 shot balls, the base is 40 (%). In the case of this embodiment, for example, a time-short state having a higher base than a non-time-short state such as a normal gaming state is called a high base state, and conversely, a base game state having a lower base compared to such a high base state. Such a non-short-time state is called a low base state.

  In this way, the ratio of the number of award balls paid out by winning a prize to the number of balls launched is generally called “base”, but the maximum number of pachinko balls fired per unit time such as 1 minute is limited to a certain number. ing. For this reason, the “base” can also be indicated by a total value of the number of winning balls paid out by winning a plurality of winning openings provided in the game area in a unit time. For example, assuming that the maximum number of pachinko balls fired per unit time is 100, the total number of award balls paid out by winning in a unit time matches the general “base” value. Based on such relevance, in the present embodiment, each of the first start port 15a, the second start port 15b, the first normal winning port 29, and the second normal winning port 30 is an abnormality monitoring target winning port, A total value of the number of paid-out balls of the winning ball due to the winning of the abnormality monitoring target winning opening is called a base, and is used as an object of abnormality monitoring regarding winning.

  Whether the probability variation state (high probability state) or the non-probability variation state (low probability state) is determined based on whether or not the probability variation flag, which is a flag set in the probability variation state, is set. . Whether the time-short state (high base state) or the non-time-short state (low base state) is determined is determined based on whether or not the time-short flag, which is a flag set in the time-short state, is set. Is done.

  In addition, in the state that is not controlled to the above-mentioned time-short state, every time the number of special symbols on-hold storage exceeds a predetermined number, the memory that controls the memory variation shortened state that shortens the variation display time of the special symbol and the decorative symbol Variation shortening control is performed. The memory fluctuation shortening control ends when the number of reserved symbols for special symbols is less than a predetermined number. Therefore, even in a state where the time-short state is not controlled, there is a case where the variation display time of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is shortened.

  The decorative symbols that are variably displayed in the variable display device 9 are variably displayed in a predetermined relationship with the special symbol variation display in order to enhance the decoration effect of the special symbol variation display in the special symbol display 8. It is a symbol with a special meaning. The predetermined relationship for such symbols includes, for example, the relationship in which the decorative symbol variation display starts when the special symbol variation display is started, and the special symbol display result at the end of the special symbol variation display. This includes a relationship in which the decorative symbol display result is derived and displayed and the decorative symbol variation display is terminated. When the special symbol display 8 derives and displays a predetermined jackpot symbol as a display result, the variable display device 9 derives and displays a combination of the jackpot symbol with left, middle and right symbols as a display result. The Such a display result of the jackpot symbol by the special symbol and the display result of the combination of the jackpot symbol by the decoration symbol are referred to as a jackpot display result.

  Since the special symbol display 8 and the fluctuation display device 9 have the correspondence relationship as described above, the fluctuation display results may be collectively referred to as a fluctuation display unit in the following description.

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. The reach display mode (reach) in the present embodiment means that the symbols that have not been stopped when the stopped symbols constitute a part of the jackpot symbol, and that all or This is a state where some symbols are synchronously displayed while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, in the variable display device 9, an effective line (one effective line in the case of this embodiment) that becomes a big hit when the symbol stops is determined in advance, and a part of the display area on the effective line is preliminarily set. A state in which the variable display is performed in the display area on the active line that has not been stopped when the predetermined symbol is stopped (for example, among the left, middle, and right variable display areas in the variable display device 9) The left and right display areas are stopped and the same display is still displayed, and the middle display area is still in the variable display mode), and all or part of the display area on the active line A state in which all or a part of the jackpot symbol is configured and displayed in a synchronized manner (for example, all the left, middle, and right display areas in the variation display device 9 are displayed in a varying manner and are always the same. The state) variable display in a state where the handle is aligned is made that reach the display mode or reach.

  Also, during the reach, an unusual effect may be performed with LEDs or sounds. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decoration design or the like)) or a display mode (for example, a color or the like) of the background image of the variable display device 9 is displayed. ) May change. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, some reach is set so that when it appears, a big hit is likely to occur compared to a normal reach. Such special (specific) reach is called super reach.

  In addition, for the variable display device 9, there is a case where a big hit announcement effect is given to notify that there is a possibility of a big hit in the variable display that triggers a big hit.

  In this embodiment, as the big hit, a plurality of types of big hits such as a normal big hit and a probable big hit are provided. In the following description, when “big hit” is simply indicated without specifying the types of big hits, it is a case where these multiple types of big hits are representatively shown.

  Usually, the big hit is a big hit (non-probable big hit) that becomes a low probability state and a low base state by not being in a probable change state after the end of the big hit gaming state and being in a short time state. Such a state with a low probability state and a low base state is called a low probability low base state. The probable big hit is a big hit that becomes a probable state after the end of the big hit gaming state, a high probability state in which the time is short for a predetermined period, and a high base state. Such a state with a high probability state and a high base state is referred to as a highly accurate high base state. After the probability variation big hit, when the predetermined period elapses, the time reduction state ends, and the state becomes a high probability state and a low base state. Such a state having a high probability state and a low base state is referred to as a high probability low base state.

  Next, the structure of the back surface (back surface) of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the pachinko machine.

Furthermore, a replaceable fuse is provided inside the power switch in the exposed portion (inside the substrate).

  The electrical component control board is mounted with electrical component control means including an electrical component control microcomputer. The electrical component control means is an electrical component (game device: ball payout device 97, variable display device 9, LED, etc.) provided in the pachinko machine 1 in accordance with a command signal (control signal) as a command from the game control means or the like. Light emitters, speakers 27L, 27R, 27a, 27b, etc.). Hereinafter, description may be made by including the main board 31 in the electric component control board. In that case, the electrical component control means mounted on the electrical component control board includes a game control means and a means for controlling the electrical components provided in the pachinko machine 1 in accordance with a command signal from the game control means or the like. Point to each. A substrate on which a microcomputer other than the main substrate 31 is mounted may be referred to as a sub-substrate.

  On the back surface of the pachinko machine 1, a terminal board (not shown) provided with terminals for outputting various information to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 is installed above. On the terminal board, at least a ball break terminal for introducing the output of the ball break detection switch 167 and outputting it externally, a terminal for a prize ball for outputting prize ball information (prize ball number signal) and a ball lending A ball lending terminal for externally outputting information (ball lending number signal) is provided. Near the center, an information terminal board (information output board) 36 provided with terminals for outputting various information from the main board 31 to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

  Pachinko balls stored in a ball tank 38 capable of storing balls supplied from an unillustrated gaming machine installation island, pass through the tank rail, and reach a ball dispensing device 97 covered with a case cover through a curve rod. The ball path 761 above the ball payout device 97 is provided with a ball break detection switch 167 as a game medium break detection means for detecting that there is no ball in the passage. When the ball break detection switch 167 detects a ball break, the payout operation of the ball payout device 97 is stopped. The ball break detection switch 167 is a switch for detecting the presence or absence of a pachinko ball in the pachinko ball passage. When the ball break detection switch 167 detects a shortage of pachinko balls, the pachinko balls 1 are replenished from the replenishment mechanism provided on the gaming machine installation island.

  When a large number of pachinko balls as prizes based on winning prizes or pachinko balls based on ball lending requests are paid out and the upper plate 3 is full, the pachinko balls are guided to the lower plate 4 through an overflow ball passage described later. When the pachinko ball is further paid out, the switch piece (not shown) presses the full tank switch 19 (see FIG. 3) as the storage state detection means, and the full tank switch 19 as the storage state detection means is turned on. In this state, the rotation of the payout motor in the ball payout device is stopped, the operation of the ball payout device is stopped, and the driving of the ball hitting device is also stopped.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a circuit configuration in the main board 31. 3 also shows a payout control board 37, a relay board 77, and an effect control board 80 mounted on the pachinko machine 1. The main board (game control board) 31 includes a game control microcomputer 156 serving as a basic circuit (corresponding to game control means) for controlling the pachinko machine 1 according to a program, a gate switch 32a, a first start port switch 14a, Input that gives various signals such as a power-off signal and a clear signal to the game control microcomputer 156 in addition to signals from the second start port switch 14b, the count switch 23, the first winning port switch 29a, and the second winning port switch 30a. The circuit 68, the solenoid 16 that opens and closes the movable pieces 13 and 13 of the start winning device 15, the solenoid 21 that opens and closes the special variable winning ball device 20, and the solenoid 21a for switching the path in the special winning opening are micro-game control. An output circuit 69 driven in accordance with a command from the computer 156; It has been mounting.

  The game control microcomputer 156 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as storage means (variation data storage means for storing fluctuation data) used as a work memory, and a program. Therefore, it includes a CPU 56 that is a processor that performs a control operation, and an I / O port 57. The game control microcomputer 156 is a one-chip microcomputer.

  In the game control microcomputer 156, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program stored in the ROM 54. Therefore, the execution (or processing) of the game control microcomputer 156 as described below specifically means that the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31. The game control means is realized by a game control microcomputer 156 including a CPU 56.

  The game control microcomputer 156 includes a clock circuit that generates a clock signal, a reset controller that functions as a system reset means, a random number circuit, and a CTC that sends an interrupt request signal to the CPU 56.

  The random number circuit is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on the display result of the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. The random number circuit updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and at random timing. Based on the fact that the start winning time generated is the time of reading (extracting) the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The game control microcomputer 156 reads the numerical data from the random number circuit as the random number value R1 when a start winning to the first starting port switch 14a or the second starting port switch 14b occurs, and specifies a specific value based on the numerical data. It is determined whether or not to make a jackpot display result as a display result, that is, whether or not to make a jackpot. When it is determined that the game is a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. The determination as to whether or not to win is actually executed based on the random number value extracted at the time of starting winning at the start of the variation display of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. Whether the random number generated by the random number circuit is a big hit, such as a random number for probability variation determination for determining whether or not to make a probability variation, and a random number for variation pattern determination for determining a variation pattern of a special symbol. It may be used as a random number for determination other than determination.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, a reserved memory display unit that performs the same display as the display of the special symbol reserved memory display 18 is provided in a predetermined area of the variable display device 9 so that the player can change the status of the reserved memory. In order to make it easy to grasp, the determination as to whether or not to make a big hit, the determination as to whether it is a super reach, or the like is performed at the time of starting winning a prize, the determination result is notified to the effect control board 80, and the effect control board 80 It is possible to grasp in which held memory a big hit occurs and whether a super reach occurs, and change the display mode of the held memory that grasps the occurrence of the big hit and super reach to the normal display mode. Thus, a hold notice effect that suggests in advance to the player that there is a high possibility of a big hit or a super reach may be implemented.

  The clock circuit outputs a system clock signal to the CPU 56, and outputs a reference clock signal CLK having a predetermined period generated by dividing the system clock signal to each random number circuit. When a low level signal is input for a certain period, the reset controller outputs a predetermined initialization signal to the CPU 56 and each random number circuit to reset the game control microcomputer 156 as a system.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a volatile storage means that is partially or wholly backed up by a backup power source created on the power supply board 960. That is, even when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped, even when the power supply is cut off, a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied) or a part of the RAM 55 All contents are saved. In particular, at least data corresponding to the control state of the game (special symbol process flag or the like) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are stored in the RAM 55 as backup data. The data corresponding to the control state is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like.

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board 960 has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input circuit 68. The power-off signal is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156 via the input circuit 68. A clear signal indicating that a clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input circuit 68 at the input port of the game control microcomputer 156. The clear signal is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156 via the input circuit 68.

  Each of the plurality of switches is connected to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156 via the input circuit 68. Thereby, the game control microcomputer 156 receives an input detection signal indicating the input state of each switch from each of the plurality of switches.

  Further, the output circuit 78 mounted on the game control microcomputer 156 transmits the effect control command output by the CPU 56 to the effect control board 80 via the relay board 77. Further, the output circuit 78 outputs a control signal output from the CPU 56 to the special symbol display 8, the special symbol hold storage display 18, the normal symbol display 10, and the normal symbol hold storage display 41 via the relay board 77. Then, it is supplied to the special symbol display 8, the special symbol hold storage display 18, the normal symbol display 10, and the normal symbol hold storage display 41 through the relay board 77.

  The game control microcomputer 156 transmits an effect control command (effect control signal) as a control signal for instructing effect control including display control, sound control, and LED control to the effect control board 80.

  The effect control commands transmitted to the effect control board 80 by the game control microcomputer 156 include a designation command, a variable display command, and a lottery result designation command even when waiting for a customer.

  The customer waiting demonstration designation command is an effect control command (customer waiting demonstration designation command) for designating the display during the customer waiting demonstration by the game control microcomputer 156, and a predetermined time has elapsed after the change of the special symbol is finished. When the customer waiting demo designation command is sent to the effect control board 80, a predetermined customer waiting demo screen is displayed on the variable display device 9. In other words, normally, when a player changes, there is a period in which the player is absent, so it is assumed that these waiting-for-demo demonstration designation commands are due to the player changing. When it is output.

  The variable display command is an effect control command that is transmitted at the start of variation in order to specify a variation pattern of a decorative symbol that is variably displayed on the variation display device 9 in response to variable display of a special symbol. Is a command to specify.

  In addition, the lottery result designation command notifies the effect control board 80 of the lottery result based on the random number value (the lottery result such as the big hit or the big hit type in the case of the big win) at the start of the variable display. The production control board 80 uses the lottery result notified by the lottery result designation command as the display result of the variable display device 9 so that the three decorative symbols are not aligned. Or, it is determined whether the display result is a normal jackpot display result (for example, a display result with even-numbered decorative symbols) or a probabilistic big hit display result (for example, a display result with odd-numbered decorative symbols).

  The effect control board 80 receives an effect control command from the game control microcomputer 156 via the relay board 77, and performs display control of effect display on the variable display device 9 and output control of sound effects (effect sound). Electric component control means such as a microcomputer 81 for effect control to be performed is mounted.

  In this embodiment, the effect control microcomputer 81 mounted on the effect control board 80 receives the effect control command from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77 and variably displays the decorative symbols. Display control of the display device 9 and sound output control from the speakers 27L, 27R, 27a, and 27b are performed.

  In addition, the effect control microcomputer 81 mounted on the effect control board 80 detects the detection signals from the lever switches 510a to 510d and the button switch 516a, thereby operating the operation lever 600 and the player of the operation button 516. Detects operations by.

  In addition, the production control microcomputer 81 performs display control of the stage LED 25b provided on the game board 6, and the prize ball LED 51, the ball cut LED 52, the left frame LED 28b, the right frame LED 28c provided on the frame side, Moreover, lighting control of each LED in the top lamp module 530 is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the effect control board 80 includes an effect control microcomputer 81 including an effect control CPU 86 and a RAM 85. In the effect control board 80, the effect control CPU 86 operates in accordance with a program stored in the built-in ROM 84, and receives an effect control command via the input circuit 260. Among these, the ROM 84 stores a time chart (see FIGS. 18 and 19) and a 3D display stop period determination table (see FIG. 20) of each moving image in the moving image reproduction described later. A cancel counter is stored. Further, the effect control CPU 86 performs display control processing for causing the VDP (video display processor) 262 to perform display control of the variable display device 9 such as generation of an image to be displayed on the variable display device 9 based on the effect control command. carry out.

The distance image sensor integrated circuit 112 for outputting the distance information and the position information to the region) and the image analysis result output from the distance image sensor integrated circuit 112 based on the player's Stores the position specifying circuit 113 for specifying the coordinates of the point position (the center position of both eyes), posture data for each human body part in different postures used by the position specifying circuit 113 for specifying the viewpoint position coordinates, and the like. A data ROM or the like is mounted.

  As the distance image sensor integrated circuit 112, for example, PS1080 (trade name, manufactured by PrimeSense, USA) corresponding to “Light Coding Technology” can be suitably used. As the position specifying circuit 113, an image output from PS1080 is used. The viewpoint position specifying program that incorporates the viewpoint position specifying algorithm for specifying the coordinates of the player's viewpoint position based on the analysis result and various data stored in the posture data ROM has a relatively high processing capability. A good microcomputer can be used.

  In this embodiment, as described above, the player's viewpoint position recognition is performed by capturing an image by emitting infrared light having a predetermined radiation pattern as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, two visible light cameras are placed at predetermined positions on the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 without emitting infrared light having these radiation patterns. The viewpoint position of the player may be installed so as to be imaged, and the player's viewpoint position is recognized by specifying the distance to the player based on the parallax or the like by the two visible light cameras.

  In this embodiment, a VDP 262 that performs display control of the variable display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 81 is mounted on the effect control board 80.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the VDP 262 is an image data ROM 263 in which data such as characters (image data such as persons, animals, characters, figures, symbols, etc., or CG data) as image element data used as sprite images is stored. A display control circuit is configured together with an SDRAM 210 (synchronous DRAM) used as a VRAM (video RAM) area and a parallax image generation unit 264 including a parallax image generation IC for generating a parallax image.

  In the image data ROM 263, in addition to data for generating a two-dimensional image such as image element data used as a sprite image, a stereoscopic image for one screen (full screen) is provided for each predetermined number of parallaxes of the image liquid crystal panel 9a. Corresponding image data generated in advance is stored.

  In this embodiment, among the stereoscopic images for one screen (full screen), a parallax image corresponding to a predetermined subpixel (in this embodiment, a parallax image of the subpixel p5 at the center position) is converted into a non-stereo image. By storing the image data of these stereoscopic images, the image data corresponding to the non-stereo images is also stored, and the storage capacity can be reduced.

  In addition, the image data ROM 263 does not store image data of all stereoscopic images displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a, but it is difficult to generate parallax images constituting the stereoscopic image, for example, parallax Only what is used in the case of including display of different contents depending on the difference in direction is stored, and other stereoscopic images (parallax images) are stored by the parallax image generation unit 264 as described later. It is generated by generating each parallax image from a stereoscopic image.

  The effect control CPU 86 reads out necessary data from the image data ROM 263 storing the two-dimensional (2D) image data and the stereoscopic (3D) image data for displaying the stereoscopic (3D) image in accordance with the received effect control command. Is output to the VDP 262. As described above, the image data ROM 263 stores character image data and moving image data displayed on the variable display device 9, specifically, people, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including decorative designs), and background images. It is a ROM for storing two-dimensional or three-dimensional image data in advance. The VDP 262 reads out image data from the image data ROM 263 in response to a command from the effect control CPU 86. The VDP 262 performs display control based on the read image data.

  The VDP 262 is a system register 202 that stores various settings of the VDP 262, and attributes (parameters used when drawing the character. The drawing order of the character, the number of colors, the scaling ratio, the palette number, the coordinates, etc. Attribute register 203 for storing (designated data), a drawing control unit 206 for controlling drawing of an image in a drawing area (to be described later) of the VRAM area, and a control or drawing area for transferring CG data stored in the CGROM 205 to the VRAM area A data transfer control unit 211 that performs control to transfer the two-dimensional image drawn on the parallax image generation unit 264 and control to transfer the parallax image generated by the parallax image generation unit 264 to the VRAM region; Video signal for displaying image data stored in the area The display control unit 213 that outputs the R (red), G (green), and B (blue)) signals and the synchronization signal, and the video signal output from the display control unit 213 is converted into an analog signal to form the variation display device 9 This is an integrated circuit on which DA converters 214, 215, etc. for outputting to the image liquid crystal panel 9a are mounted.

  A system bus and a CG bus are provided inside the VDP 262. The system bus and the CG bus are connected to the CPU 86 of the effect control microcomputer 81 via the CPU interface 201, and the CG bus is a CG bus interface. It is connected to the image data ROM 263 via 204. The CG bus is connected to the parallax image generation unit 264 and the parallax image generation IC via the IC interface 205. A system register 202 is connected to the system bus, and an attribute register 203 is connected to the CG bus, so that the CPU 86 can access the system register 202 and the attribute register 203.

  The drawing control unit 206, the data transfer control unit 211, and the display control unit 213 are connected to the system bus so that the system register 202 can be accessed. The drawing control unit 206 and the data transfer control unit 211 are connected to the CG bus, and can access the image data ROM 263 and the attribute register 203.

  Further, a VRAM bus is further provided inside the VDP 262, and the VRAM bus is connected to the SDRAM 210 via the VRAM bus interface 209. A drawing controller 206, a data transfer controller 211, and a display controller 213 are connected to the VRAM bus so that the VRAM area of the SDRAM 210 can be accessed via the VRAM bus.

  The system register 202 includes a system control register for storing instructions such as initial setting, drawing, and data transfer, an interrupt control register for storing an output instruction for an interrupt signal to be described later, a drawing area in the VRAM area, and arrangement of palette data. A drawing register for storing an area and the like, a data transfer register for storing a transfer source address and a transfer destination address at the time of data transfer, a display register for storing a display area in the VRAM area, and the like are allocated.

  The CPU interface 201 outputs a V blank interrupt signal to the CPU 86 at every start of V blank (an image update period), and outputs various other interrupt signals to the CPU 86.

  The display control unit 213 performs display processing for outputting image data of the display area of the VRAM area specified by the display register as a video signal. In this embodiment, the display area and the drawing area are switched every V blank. For this reason, the area assigned as the drawing area in a certain V blank is drawn, and in the next V blank, the display area is switched, so that the image data drawn in the previous V blank is displayed and output. In the meantime, drawing is performed in the other area.

  The non-stereoscopic image display performed by the display control unit 213 will be described in detail. The display control unit 213 generates a two-dimensional image (non-stereoscopic image) or image data in response to a command from the effect control CPU 86. The parallax image data of a predetermined sub-pixel of the stereoscopic image is read from the ROM 263, and this image data is displayed as a non-stereo image in a single band display area of the image liquid crystal panel 9a (see FIG. 8B).

  Next, the display of the stereoscopic image stored in the image data ROM 263 will be described in detail. The display control unit 213 corresponds to the stereoscopic image of the image liquid crystal panel 9a from the image data ROM 263 in response to a command from the effect control CPU 86. The image data to be read is read, and each parallax image included in the read image data is displayed on the sub-pixel of each pixel.

  By doing so, the sub-pixel of each pixel is an image at a position corresponding to the pixel, and a parallax image from each line-of-sight direction is displayed, so that the player can visually recognize the left and right eyes. Due to the difference, different parallax images are visually recognized by the left and right eyes, so that the image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a is visually recognized as a stereoscopic image. The same applies to a stereoscopic image composed of parallax images generated from a non-stereo image by the parallax image generation unit 264.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of the VRAM area of the SDRAM 210 in this embodiment. The VRAM area includes a palette area in which palette data is arranged, a character buffer in which necessary characters are read from the image data ROM 263 and stored, and palette data (character display) when the drawing control unit 206 draws an image. Each area such as a CG buffer for temporarily storing CG data is allocated to temporarily store (data in which color is defined) and when the drawing control unit 206 draws an image.

  In the VRAM area, there is a non-stereo image display area in which image data based on a non-stereo image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a is stored, and image data based on a non-stereo image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a. A non-stereoscopic image drawing area to be drawn is assigned. These non-stereoscopic image display area and non-stereoscopic image drawing area are switched every V blank. For this reason, image data of a non-stereo image is drawn in an area assigned as a non-stereo image drawing area in a certain V blank, and this area is switched to a non-stereo image display area in the next V blank. The image data of the non-stereo image drawn in the previous V blank is displayed and output as a non-stereo image on the image liquid crystal panel 9a, and the image data is drawn in the other region during that time.

  Further, in the VRAM area, a stereoscopic image display area in which image data based on the stereoscopic image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a is stored, and image data based on the stereoscopic image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a are drawn. A stereoscopic image drawing area is allocated. The three-dimensional image display area and the three-dimensional image drawing area are switched every V blank. For this reason, in the area assigned as the stereoscopic image drawing area in a certain V blank, the image data of the stereoscopic image is drawn, and in the next V blank, this area is switched to the stereoscopic image display area. The image data of the stereoscopic image drawn in the blank is displayed and output as a stereoscopic image on the image liquid crystal panel 9a, and the image data of the non-stereo image is drawn in the other area during that time.

  As described above, the non-stereo image display area and the non-stereo image drawing area, the stereo image display area and the stereo image drawing area, respectively, draw image data in one area and image data in the other area for each V blank. By alternately displaying images on the image liquid crystal panel 9a as an image, the drawing control unit 206 of the present embodiment can perform drawing processing on the non-stereoscopic drawing area and the stereoscopic image drawing area in parallel. In addition, the display control unit 213 displays the image data of the non-stereoscopic image display area on the image liquid crystal panel 9a as a non-stereoscopic image, or uses the stereoscopic image data of the stereoscopic image display area as a stereoscopic image. It is possible to display on the liquid crystal panel 9a.

  As described above, the production control CPU 86 can access the system register 202 and the attribute register 203 via the CPU interface 201, and these systems are in accordance with the process data that defines the display pattern of the variable display device 9 described above. By storing execution instructions and necessary data in the register 202 and the attribute register 203, the VDP 262 is indirectly controlled.

  In the process data, the setting contents that the effect control CPU 86 performs on the system register 202 and the attribute register 203 are determined for each V blank. The setting contents of the system register 202 include drawing, data transfer commands, CG data and palette data for performing data transfer, and attribute settings. The setting contents of the attribute register 203 are attributes, that is, parameters used when drawing a character.

  In the process data, an attribute is set so that the image is updated every V blank. For this reason, the image is updated every V blank.

  Next, drawing control of a two-dimensional image (non-stereo image) in the present embodiment will be described. In order for the drawing control unit 206 to perform the drawing process, it is necessary that characters necessary for drawing be arranged in the VRAM area. In other words, it is necessary to place a character serving as source data of the sprite image in the VRAM area.

  For this reason, when the effect control CPU 86 executes the effect, it issues a transfer command from the image data ROM 263 to the VRAM area for all the characters necessary to execute the effect. As a result, the data transfer control unit 211 arranges all the characters necessary for the performance in the VRAM area. When performing an effect, the same character is often used for drawing repeatedly, but the data stored in the image data ROM 263 is compressed, and it takes time to read it. In this way, by placing all necessary characters in the VRAM area at the initial stage of performing the rendering, the time required for drawing can be reduced compared to reading data from the image data ROM 263 for each frame. It becomes. In this embodiment, when the effect control CPU 86 executes the effect, a transfer command from the image data ROM 263 to the VRAM area for all the characters necessary for the reproduction of the moving image is executed. A necessary character transfer command may be issued each time.

  Further, in order for the drawing control unit 206 to perform drawing processing, it is necessary to set an attribute in the attribute register 203. Since the attribute is different for each V blank, the attribute according to the process data is stored in the attribute register 203 for each V blank.

  Then, after starting the production, the production control CPU 86 sets an attribute in the attribute register 203 for each V blank, and then commands execution of reading of the attribute. Along with this, the drawing control unit 206 reads the attribute of the attribute register 203 and instructs the output of the reading end interrupt signal when the reading is completed. In response to this, the effect control CPU 86 commands execution of drawing, and the drawing control unit 206 draws image data in the non-stereoscopic image drawing area in accordance with the read attribute.

  When generating a stereoscopic image of a non-stereo image drawn in these non-stereo image drawing areas, the drawn non-stereo image is transferred to the parallax image generation unit 264 to generate a parallax image, and the generation A stereoscopic image composed of the parallax images thus transferred is transferred and drawn in the stereoscopic image drawing area.

  In this way, since the image drawing area and the image display area are separate for the stereoscopic image and the non-stereo image, the image drawing area and the image display area are more common in the stereoscopic image and the non-stereo image described above. A transition from a non-stereo image to a stereo image or a transition from a stereo image to a non-stereo image can be performed quickly.

  In addition, the display control unit 213 is the n-th that can be visually recognized from the viewpoint position of the player in the left-right direction specified by the position detection processing unit 111 among the nine sub-pixels p1 to p9 in response to a command from the CPU 86 for effect control. Control is performed to display a stereoscopic image (parallax image) on the subpixels p (n−1) and p (n + 1) adjacent to both sides of the display target subpixel p (n) and the display symmetrical subpixel p (n). In addition, the remaining sub-pixels excluding these sub-pixels p (n), p (n−1) and p (n + 1) are not displayed (when the non-display state is black, when the non-display state is transparent, black display is performed. ) Can be performed.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 9A, the display control unit 213 detects among the nine subpixels p1 to p9 based on the captured image by the pattern emission captured by the position detection processing unit 111 with the imaging unit 11. A stereoscopic image (parallax image) D, which is a parallax image, is respectively displayed on the central display target subpixel p5 and the subpixels p4 and p6 adjacent to both sides of the display symmetric subpixel p5 that can be visually recognized from the viewpoint position in the left-right direction of the player. , E and F can be displayed, and the remaining subpixels excluding these subpixels p4 to p6 can be controlled to be non-displayed or black-displayed.

  In this way, in the image liquid crystal panel 9a constituting the stereoscopic image display device, a parallax image is displayed on a display target subpixel that is a part of the subpixels, while a parallax is displayed on subpixels other than the display target subpixel. Since no image is displayed, it is possible not only to reduce the occurrence of interference fringes caused by the interference of parallax image light with each other, but also to display the parallax displayed on each subpixel, as compared to displaying parallax images on all subpixels. When an image is generated, the processing load for generating the parallax image can be reduced.

  The positions of the display target sub-pixels that display these stereoscopic images (parallax images) are sequentially changed as will be described later in accordance with changes in the player's viewpoint position specified by the position detection processing unit 111.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the display target sub-pixel is changed in time series in accordance with the change in the position of the player so that the player does not need to change the viewpoint position in accordance with the display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these display target sub-pixels do not change in time series in accordance with changes in the player's viewpoint position, so that only the same sub-pixels are fixedly displayed as parallax images. By displaying, the player side may change the viewpoint position in accordance with the display.

  In this case, as will be described later, the pachinko machine 1 is provided with player position setting means that allows the player to input and set his / her position, so that the player can obtain a desired position. It is preferable that a stereoscopic image can be viewed in a desired posture by inputting and setting the viewpoint position in the posture.

  The display control unit 213 does not necessarily display the display target subpixel p (n) that can be visually recognized from the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 and the adjacent subpixels p (n−1) and p ( For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, the display control unit 213 can be visually recognized from the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111. The display target sub-pixel p (n) (p5 in the drawing) may be controlled so that only the stereoscopic image E is displayed and the remaining sub-pixels are not displayed. As shown in (c), the display control unit 213 displays the display target subpixel p (n) (p5 in the drawing) that can be viewed from the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 and the display target subpixel. A predetermined number of subpixels adjacent to the neighborhood of (N−1), p (n−2),... And p (n + 1), p (n + 2),... (P3, 4 and 6, 7 in the figure) are stereoscopic images C, which are parallax images, respectively. D, E, F, and G are displayed, and control is performed so that the remaining sub-pixels are not displayed.

  That is, the effect control CPU 86 changes the number of subpixels included in the display target subpixel according to the change state of the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111, and the display control unit 213 displays the effect. Control for displaying a parallax image on the display target subpixel instructed by the control CPU 86 is performed.

  Specifically, the effect control CPU 86 determines the change state of the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111, that is, the change amount of the viewpoint position per predetermined time is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold corresponding to the number of subpixels of 5. In some cases, the number of subpixels included in the display target subpixel is increased from 3 to 5, for example, and the amount of change in the viewpoint position per predetermined time is less than a predetermined threshold corresponding to the number of subpixels 1. For example, control is performed to reduce the number of subpixels included in the display target subpixel from 3 to 1, for example.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the display control unit 213 displays the display target subpixel p (n) (p5 in the drawing) that can be viewed from the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 and the vicinity of the display target subpixel. (For example, subpixels p (n−2), p (n−4),..., P (n + 2), p (n + 4), etc.) (p1, 3 and 7 in the drawing). 9), the stereoscopic images A, C, E, G and I which are parallax images may be displayed, and the remaining sub-pixels may be controlled to be non-displayed or black-displayed.

  In addition, the display control unit 213 is not limited to the individual display of the stereoscopic images A to I that are parallax images corresponding to the sub pixels p1 to p9 as described above. For example, among the sub pixels p1 to p9, Control to assign and display the same stereoscopic image to some subpixels adjacent to each other, or display the same stereoscopic image to some subpixels in this way and hide other subpixels or display black By performing the control, it is possible to change the number of display images and the number of parallax images of the subpixels p1 to p9. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, a display mode when the number of parallax images is three is illustrated.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10A, the display control unit 213 corresponds to an image of a display object viewed from the frontal position on the three subpixels p4 to p6 on the center side among the nine subpixels p1 to p9. Display the same stereoscopic image E, which is a parallax image to be displayed, and three subpixels p1 to p3 and subpixels p7 to p9 on each of the left and right sides of the subpixels p4 to p6. By performing control to display the same stereoscopic image D and stereoscopic image F that are parallax images corresponding to images, the number of parallaxes of the stereoscopic image can be substantially changed from 9 parallaxes to 3 parallaxes.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10B, the display control unit 213 displays an image of the display object viewed from the frontal position on the three sub-pixels p <b> 4 to p <b> 6 on the center side among the nine sub-pixels p <b> 1 to p <b> 9. Display the same stereoscopic image E, which is a parallax image corresponding to, and two subpixels p2 and p3 and subpixels p7 and p8 on the left and right sides of the subpixels p4 to p6. The same stereoscopic image D and stereoscopic image F, which are parallax images corresponding to the image of the object, can be displayed, respectively, and the other subpixels p1 and p9 at the left and right ends can be controlled to be non-displayed or displayed black.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10C, the display control unit 213 displays the parallax corresponding to the image of the display object viewed from the frontal position in the central subpixel p5 among the nine subpixels p1 to p9. A stereoscopic image E as an image is displayed, and a parallax image corresponding to an image of a display object viewed from each of the left and right sides of the two subpixels p3 and p4 and the subpixels p6 and p7 on each of the left and right sides of the subpixel p5 The same three-dimensional image D and three-dimensional image F can be displayed, and the other subpixels p1, p2 and subpixels p8, p9 on the left and right ends can be controlled to be non-displayed or displayed black.

  Further, when the number of parallax images is five, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 11A, the display control unit 213 is positioned in front of the central sub-pixel p5 among the nine sub-pixels p1 to p9. A stereoscopic image E that is a parallax image corresponding to an image of a display object viewed from above is displayed, and two subpixels p1 and p2, subpixels p3 and p4, subpixels p6 and p6 on each of the left and right sides of the subpixel p5. The same stereoscopic image C, stereoscopic image D, stereoscopic image F, and stereoscopic image G, which are parallax images corresponding to images of the display object viewed from the left and right sides, are respectively displayed by combining p7 and subpixels p8 and p9. Can be controlled.

  When the number of parallax images is seven, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 11B, the display control unit 213 is positioned in front of the central subpixel p5 among the nine subpixels p1 to p9. The stereoscopic image E, which is a parallax image corresponding to the image of the display object viewed from above, is displayed, and the two subpixels p3 and p4 and the subpixels p6 and p7 on the left and right sides of the subpixel p5 are viewed from the left and right sides. The stereoscopic image C, the stereoscopic image D, the stereoscopic image F, and the stereoscopic image G, which are parallax images corresponding to the display object image, are displayed, respectively, and the subpixels p1 and p2 and the subpixels p8 and p9 on the left and right ends are respectively displayed. As a pair, it is possible to perform control for displaying the same stereoscopic image B and stereoscopic image H, which are parallax images corresponding to images of a display object viewed from the left and right sides, respectively.

  As described above, when the number of parallaxes described based on FIG. 10A is 3, when the number of parallaxes described based on FIG. 11A is 5, and when the number of parallaxes described based on FIG. In this way, even if the number of parallaxes is changed, each parallax image is assigned to all of the sub-pixels and displayed, so that the field-of-view range in which a stereoscopic image can be viewed is not narrowed even if the number of parallaxes changes. It can be avoided that the player feels uncomfortable due to the narrow range.

  Note that the control for displaying the stereoscopic image as shown in FIG. 10A, FIG. 11A, and FIG. 11B is performed when the player suddenly approaches the pachinko machine 1, for example. As a result of this sudden approach, the viewpoint angle of the left and right eyes becomes large, and the player sees an image with a larger parallax angle, so that the stereoscopic image looks unnatural or the player It is possible to prevent feeling uncomfortable.

  Next, a specific example of controlling the display / non-display of each of the sub-pixels p1 to p9 based on the left / right position or the front / rear position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 described above will be described.

  The display control unit 213 selects a predetermined sub-pixel corresponding to the viewpoint position in the left-right direction of the player identified by the position detection processing unit 111 among the nine sub-pixels p1 to p9 in response to a command from the effect control CPU 86. Then, control is performed to display a three-dimensional image with a three-dimensionality determined according to the player's viewpoint position.

  More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 13A, the display control unit 213 is configured such that the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 is located at the approximate center in the left-right direction with respect to the pachinko machine 1. If there is, the display control unit 213, among the nine subpixels p1 to p9, displays the center display target subpixel p5 that can be viewed from the central viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 and the display symmetric subpixel. The subpixels p4 and p6 adjacent to both sides of the pixel p5 are controlled to display the stereoscopic images D, E, and F that are parallax images corresponding to the viewing position, and the remaining subpixels excluding these subpixels p4 to p6 Is controlled to hide.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the display control unit 213 displays the display when the player's viewpoint position specified by the position detection processing unit 111 is located on the left side in the left-right direction with respect to the pachinko machine 1. Among the nine subpixels p1 to p9, the control unit 213 applies the parallax corresponding to the viewing position to the three display target subpixels p1 to p3 that can be viewed from the viewpoint position on the left side of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111. Control is performed to display the stereoscopic images A, B, and C, which are images, and control is performed to hide the remaining subpixels excluding these subpixels p1 to p3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, the display control unit 213 displays the display when the player's viewpoint position specified by the position detection processing unit 111 is located on the right side in the left-right direction with respect to the pachinko machine 1. Of the nine subpixels p1 to p9, the control unit 213 applies the parallax corresponding to the viewing position to the three display target subpixels p7 to p9 that can be viewed from the viewpoint position on the right side of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111. Control is performed to display the stereoscopic images G, H, and I, which are images, and control is performed to hide the remaining subpixels excluding these subpixels p7 to p9.

  In addition, the display control unit 213 is a predetermined sub-pixel corresponding to the viewpoint position in the front-rear direction of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111 among the nine sub-pixels p1 to p9 in response to a command from the effect control CPU 86. In addition, control is performed to display a stereoscopic image in which the stereoscopic degree is determined according to the player's viewpoint position. More specifically, the display control unit 213 is separated from the pachinko machine 1 by a relatively close distance between the viewpoint position of the player specified by the position detection processing unit 111, for example, as shown in FIG. In this case, a parallax image is displayed on some of the nine sub-pixels p1 to p9 and the central three sub-pixels p4 to p6, and for example, as shown in FIG. When the viewpoint position is separated at a relatively far distance from the pachinko machine 1, a parallax image is displayed on a larger number of subpixels than the number of subpixels described above, for example, all nine subpixels p1 to p9. In other words, control is performed to change the number of parallaxes of the stereoscopic image so as to be proportional to the separation distance between the player and the pachinko machine 1.

  In this way, even if the player moves in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction during the game, the sub-pixel or sub-pixel group corresponding to the moved position is specified as the display target sub-pixel, and the display target sub-pixel is Since the parallax image is displayed, it is possible to display a good stereoscopic image with less interference fringes corresponding to the position change of the player.

  In addition, in this way, the stereoscopic image can be appropriately changed in accordance with the position of the player, for example, the perspective, etc., and the stereoscopic display can be performed according to the position of the player.

  In particular, when the player's viewpoint position specified by the position detection processing unit 111 is close to the pachinko machine 1, the display control unit 213 displays a stereoscopic image with a low stereoscopic degree, and the player's viewpoint position is displayed on the pachinko machine 1. When it is far away, the stereoscopic image with a high stereoscopic degree is displayed, and the stereoscopic degree of the stereoscopic image is changed to be proportional to the separation distance between the player and the pachinko machine 1, so that the player can compare with the pachinko machine 1. Even if it is far away, the sense of reality of the stereoscopic image can be enhanced according to the distance.

  In addition, the example shown in FIG. 14A is a display mode of a stereoscopic image when the player is approaching the pachinko machine 1 for a long time, and the player is usually shown in FIG. When the distance state shown in FIG. 14a suddenly approaches the state shown in FIG. 14 (a), as described above, the subpixels p1 to p9 are changed as shown in FIG. 10 (a). Each parallax image is assigned and displayed.

  Further, in this embodiment, not only the entire display area of the image liquid crystal panel 9a is displayed, but only the stereoscopic (3D) image or the two-dimensional (2D) image is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. A stereoscopic (3D) image composed of a right-eye image and a left-eye image is displayed on the left half display area (first display area) of the liquid crystal panel 9a, and the right half display area (second display area) of the image liquid crystal panel 9a is displayed. ) Display a two-dimensional (2D) image, so that a two-dimensional (2D) image and a stereoscopic (3D) image can be displayed simultaneously.

  That is, the image liquid crystal panel 9a includes a left half display area (first display area) for displaying a stereoscopic (3D) image and a right half display area (second display area) for displaying a two-dimensional (2D) image. The effect control CPU 86 generates a stereoscopic (3D) image and a two-dimensional (2D) image in the left half display area (first display area) and the right half display area (second display area). Control to display at the same time.

  That is, as in the present embodiment, when the display area of the variable display device 9 is a rectangle that is long in the horizontal direction, the left and right display areas are provided by increasing the distance between the center positions of the display areas. Even if a stereoscopic (3D) image and a two-dimensional (2D) image are displayed in the display area at the same time, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the player will visually recognize the stereoscopic (3D) image and the two-dimensional (2D) image at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the difficulty of visually recognizing the stereoscopic (3D) image by simultaneously viewing the stereoscopic (3D) image and the two-dimensional (2D) image. ) When displaying an image and a two-dimensional (2D) image at the same time, a display area is provided on the left and right sides of the horizontally long display area, and a stereoscopic (3D) image and a two-dimensional (2D) image are displayed. It is preferable to display.

  In the case where these three-dimensional (3D) image and two-dimensional (2D) image are displayed simultaneously, a three-dimensional (3D) image is provided by providing a relatively wide black display area at the boundary of the display area on the left and right. And the possibility of simultaneously viewing a two-dimensional (2D) image may be reduced.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16, a stereoscopic (3D) image and a two-dimensional (2D) image are simultaneously displayed in the left half display area (first display area) and the right half display area (second display area). When displaying, a display body displayed in a three-dimensional (3D) image, for example, a decorative pattern or the speed of movement of a character (moving speed) is displayed on a display body displayed in a two-dimensional (2D) image, such as a decorative pattern or character. By generating and displaying a stereoscopic image (parallax image) so as to be slower than the speed of movement (moving speed), the moving speed of the display body can be changed between a stereoscopic (3D) image and a two-dimensional (2D) image. Therefore, compared with the same case, it is possible to reduce the player from feeling uncomfortable by visually recognizing a fast-acting stereoscopic (3D) image.

  Next, an adjustment operation for correcting the stereoscopic degree of the stereoscopic (3D) image visually recognized by the player of the pachinko machine 1 will be described based on FIG. Here, in the present invention, the stereoscopic degree of a stereoscopic image refers to what is displayed on the stereoscopic image display device by changing the number of parallax images, which is the number of parallax images displayed on the subpixels p1 to p9.

  That is, in the form of the present embodiment, when the player visually recognizes the stereoscopic image displayed on the variable display device 9, the stereoscopic image has a predetermined fixed stereoscopic degree and cannot be changed. Since the fixed degree of solidity may not always be suitable for each player, each player can appropriately change the parallax number of the stereoscopic image by changing the parallax number of the stereoscopic image. A player can visually recognize a stereoscopic image having the number of parallaxes according to his / her preference.

  When the player wants to perform this adjustment operation, in this embodiment, during the customer waiting demonstration (when the pachinko machine 1 is in a non-operating state), the operation lever 600 and the operation button 516 are simultaneously operated in a predetermined manner, so that FIG. As shown in a) and (b), the parallax number adjustment screen preliminarily stored in the image data ROM is displayed on the variable display device 9, and the position of the display target subpixel displaying the stereoscopic image and the parallax are displayed. Adjustment setting processing for receiving the setting of the number is performed by the effect control CPU 86. An operation piece and a decision button for setting the position of the player and setting the number of parallaxes are displayed on the parallax number adjustment screen.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, when performing an operation of adjusting the number of parallaxes, the operator first operates the operation lever 600 while pressing the operation button 516 to display the operation piece on the player position scale. After the cursor is moved to, the operation piece display is moved within the range from the left side to the center to the right side. The operator operates the operation lever 600 at the left and right positions according to his / her preference, moves the cursor to the player position determination button, and presses the operation button 516, so that the player's left and right positions are If the sub-pixel is set to the left and right position and corresponds to the set position, for example, the pixel at the center position of the image liquid crystal panel 9a, as shown in FIG. When the position is set slightly on the right side, the display target subpixel is changed from p4 to p6 to p5 to p6. It should be noted that there may be a case where a sub-pixel different from the center position is determined as a display target sub-pixel for correction at the both end positions of the image liquid crystal panel 9a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15B, the operator operates the operation lever 600 while pressing the operation button 516 to move the cursor to the operation piece display on the parallax number scale, and then displays the operation piece display. Move within the range of 3-9. The operator operates the operation lever 600 with the parallax number according to his / her preference, moves the cursor to the parallax number determination button, and presses the operation button 516, whereby the parallax number preferred by the player is set to the parallax number. The As the operation piece display moves, the display position of the displayed parallax image and the number of parallax images change, so that a stereoscopic image corresponding to the changed scale is generated and displayed. In this way, the position at which the player visually recognizes the stereoscopic image can be set freely.

  In this embodiment, when the position of the player is input and set by the player position determination button, the automatic mode for specifying the position of the player by the position detection processing unit 111 is canceled and the manual mode is set. Is set, the position detection processing unit 111 enters a non-execution state of the player's position. These manual modes are canceled when a predetermined cancellation operation is performed or a customer waiting demonstration is displayed, and the automatic mode is entered.

  Further, in this embodiment, during the customer waiting demonstration, an inter-island passage formed between the gaming machine installation island where the pachinko machine 1 is installed and the gaming machine installation island facing the gaming machine installation island is passed. A stereoscopic (3D) image for demonstration that can be stereoscopically viewed well at the viewpoint position of a passerby who is a player is displayed.

  As for the stereoscopic (3D) image display for demonstration, the production control board 80 receives the customer waiting demonstration designation command from the game control microcomputer 156 and moves to the customer waiting demonstration state, and then the PR ( Introduction) A predetermined customer-waiting demo image consisting of an image or the like is displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a. In the present embodiment, the effect control board 80 performs control to display all the subpixels p1 to p9 as the customer waiting demo image. In this way, a waiting-for-customs demonstration in which a good stereoscopic (3D) image can be seen in a wider viewing angle from various viewpoint positions of a player traveling through an inter-island passage that is farther than the player of the pachinko machine 1 By changing to an image, a player passing through an island passage can visually recognize a demo image waiting for a customer with a good stereoscopic image.

  In this way, at the time of a customer-waiting demonstration in which no player is present in the pachinko machine 1, it is possible to see a good stereoscopic (3D) image from the viewpoint position of the passer-by over a wider viewing angle. In contrast, the pachinko machine 1 can exert an effect of arousing a willingness to play.

  Next, the display of the effect implemented in the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 9 is demonstrated. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, different types of effects such as a notice effect for notifying the possibility of a super reach and a possibility of a big hit and a super reach effect for notifying the possibility of a big hit are implemented. .

  The case where these notice effects and super reach effects are implemented will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 17A, FIG. 17B, and FIG. 18, in the variation pattern serving as the super reach effect, the notice effect S1 that is performed together with the start of the change display, and the super effect after the notice effect S1. It is mainly composed of a change effect S2 until the reach effect is started and the super reach effect S3.

  Among these, in the notice effect S1, as shown in FIG. 17A, for example, the variable display device 9 includes a space shuttle CH1 having a three-dimensionality (a large number of parallaxes) that greatly protrudes from the player by a three-dimensional image. The space shuttle CH2 having a smaller solidity (smaller number of parallaxes) than the space shuttle CH1, the small boat CH3 having a smaller stereoscopic degree (smaller number of parallaxes) than the space shuttle CH2, and a smaller stereoscopic degree (smaller number of parallaxes) than the small boat CH3. ) Star CH4, is displayed.

  In this way, by making a difference in the stereoscopic degree (the number of parallaxes) for each character displayed on the variable display device 9, the space shuttle CH1 having the highest degree of stereoscopic degree (the largest number of parallaxes) is more advantageous to the player. The space shuttle CH2, which is stereoscopically displayed so that it can be viewed with a wide viewing angle, is smaller than the space shuttle CH1 (the number of parallaxes is small), and the space shuttle CH2 is stereoscopically displayed so that it can be seen by the player with a relatively narrow viewing angle than the space shuttle CH1. Has been. Further, the small boat CH3 having a smaller degree of solidity (having a smaller number of parallaxes) than the space shuttle CH2 is stereoscopically displayed so that it can be seen by the player with a relatively narrow viewing angle than the space shuttle CH2, and the three-dimensionality is smaller than that of the small boat CH3. The small star CH4 (having a small number of parallaxes) is stereoscopically displayed so that it can be seen by the player with a relatively narrow viewing angle than the small boat CH3.

  For convenience of explanation, FIG. 17A shows a state where all the four types of characters from the space shuttle CH1 to the star CH4 are displayed on the variable display device 9, but in the notice effect S1. Actually, one or two of these characters are sequentially displayed step by step, and a step-up notice is given to notify the possibility of a big hit or super reach. For this reason, since the number of characters displayed on the variable display device 9 is smaller than in the case of super reach described later, the processing load on the VDP 262 that performs drawing processing and display processing in these effects is Since it is lighter than the implementation period of the super reach production, the processing load of the switching process for switching from the stereoscopic display to the non-stereoscopic display can be sufficiently covered, so that the player can change the display by pressing the operation button 516. The display in the device 9 is a cancelable effect capable of switching from stereoscopic display to non-stereoscopic display.

  Further, the fluctuation effect S2 is a period in which the display of the fluctuation display device 9 is changed after the end of the notice effect S1 and before the start of the super reach effect S3. For this reason, since it is a period when the production | presentation etc. which display a character etc. are not implemented, this fluctuation production S2 is made into the period when the display of a stereo image is not made. Therefore, since the stereoscopic display itself is not performed, it is natural that the stereoscopic image cancel operation is invalid.

  In these variation effects S2, a stereoscopic image may be displayed by displaying a specific character or the like.

  On the other hand, in the super reach production S3, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), characters such as UFOCH5 and Saturn CH6 having substantially the same three-dimensionality as the space shuttle CH2 as well as the above-mentioned space shuttle CH1 to star CH4 are gathered. An effect displayed on the variable display device 9 is performed.

  For this reason, in the super reach effect S3, since the VDP 262 needs to perform drawing processing and display processing of more characters than the notice effect S1, the load on the VDP is very large. Since there is a fear that the processing load of the switching process for switching to non-stereoscopic display cannot be sufficiently covered, in the super reach production S3, the player presses the operation button 516 so that the display on the variable display device 9 is stereoscopically displayed. It is an uncancellable effect that cannot be switched from non-stereoscopic display.

  In the notice effect S1 and the super reach effect S3, the effect control CPU 86 causes the display control unit 213 to display an image based on the image data drawn by the above-described drawing control on the image liquid crystal panel 9a. In FIG. 9, a stereoscopic image is displayed.

  When performing these three-dimensional displays, the effect control CPU 86 controls the movement speed of each character to change according to the three-dimensionality of the three-dimensionally displayed character. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 17C, the effect control CPU 86 has a high degree of stereoscopicity of each character displayed as a stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9 (for example, the number of parallaxes is 9). The display is controlled so that the moving speed of the character becomes lower as the stereoscopic display is made so that the player can view with a wider viewing angle. In addition, the effect control CPU 86 has a medium degree of solidity (for example, five parallaxes) for each character displayed as a stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9, that is, the player is relatively narrower than the degree of stereoscopicity. When the visual angle is visible, the display is controlled so that the medium speed is higher than when the stereoscopic degree is large, and the stereoscopic degree of each character displayed as a stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9 is small (for example, the number of parallaxes). 3), that is, the display is controlled so that the moving speed of the character becomes higher as the stereoscopic display is made so that the player can view with a narrow viewing angle.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, the moving speed of the space shuttle CH1 displayed with the highest stereoscopic degree (the largest number of parallaxes) for the player is the slowest. The drawing of the space shuttle CH1 is controlled by the effect control CPU 86, and the space shuttle CH2, UFOCH5, Saturn CH6 so that the moving speed increases as the three-dimensionality decreases with the space shuttle CH2, UFOCH5, Saturn CH6, and the small boat CH3. The rendering of the small boat CH3 is controlled by the effect control CPU 86. As a result, the moving speed of the star CH4 displayed with the smallest stereoscopic degree (the smallest number of parallaxes) is the fastest, and the moving speed of the space shuttle CH1 displayed with the highest stereoscopic degree (the largest number of parallaxes). Is controlled by the effect control CPU 86 so as to be the slowest.

  For this reason, even if the player moves his / her line of sight in accordance with the movement of a character whose stereoscopic display is large (close to the number of parallaxes) so as to be close to himself / herself, these stereoscopic degrees are large (parallax). Since the movement of the character itself is controlled slowly, the character close to you moves quickly, so that the player quickly moves the viewpoint quickly with the movement, so that the player's movement It is possible to prevent eyestrain from increasing and the player from feeling uncomfortable.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the notice effect S1 of the present embodiment is composed of five periods of effect periods T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5. Among these effect periods T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5, the effect periods T1, T3, and T5 are more than the effect periods T2 and T4. Is a small change production period.

  In addition, during the presentation periods T1, T3, and T5, when the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time (long press) in the notice presentation S1, the display on the stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9 is non-stereoscopic. It is possible to switch to image display. Hereinafter, switching from the display of the stereoscopic image to the display of the non-stereoscopic image in the change display device 9 will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the effect control CPU 86 starts drawing the right-eye image and the left-eye image constituting the stereoscopic image in the VRAM area and the non-stereo image in parallel in the drawing control unit 206. Let At the same time, the effect control CPU 86 alternately displays the right-eye image and the left-eye image drawn in the VRAM area by the display control unit 213 on the image liquid crystal panel 9a so that the player can visually recognize the stereoscopic image. The notice effect S1 is started.

  In the series of presentation periods T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 of the notice presentation stage S1, the production periods T1, T3, and T5 are displayed on the variable display device 9 as stereoscopic images more than the presentation periods T2 and T4. Since it is a small change effect period with a small number and operation, as described above, the load on the rendering process in the effect periods T2 and T4 is light in the VDP 262, so that the process for switching to a non-stereoscopic image can be performed. Yes. For this reason, the production periods T1, T3, and T5 are cancelable periods in which the player can press the operation button 516 to easily switch the display of the stereoscopic image of the announcement effect S1 to the display of the non-stereo image. On the other hand, in the production periods T2 and T4, on the contrary, since the load on the drawing process is relatively large, it is impossible to cancel the stereoscopic image display of the notice production S1 to the non-stereo image display. It is said that.

  In other words, in this embodiment, even if the player presses the operation button 516 during the production periods T2 and T4 where the number of characters and actions displayed as a stereoscopic image are large, the display cannot be switched to a non-stereoscopic image. Therefore, the player can be prevented from being confused by suddenly switching the display from a three-dimensional image to a non-stereoscopic image in which the number and movement of these characters are drastically changed.

  In the effect periods T1, T3, and T5, which are cancelable periods, the effect control CPU 86 displays “cancel OK” as shown in FIG. 17A, and a variable display that does not interfere with the display of the stereoscopic (3D) image. By displaying in the lower right position of the device 9, the player is notified that the display of the stereoscopic (3D) image can be canceled. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 86 does not display “cancel OK” as shown in FIG. 18B during the effect periods T2 and T4, which are cancelable periods.

  In other words, the effect control CPU 86 can stop the display of the stereoscopic image when the effect of the stereoscopic image displayed on the variable display device 9 serving as the display means is the notice effect S1 that is a cancelable effect. Since the player has a function of notifying means for displaying “Cancel OK”, the player can accurately grasp whether or not the display of the stereoscopic image can be stopped.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18, for example, when the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time in an effect period T5 which is a cancelable period of the notice effect S1, the effect control CPU 86 performs variable display as a cancel operation. The stereoscopic image displayed on the device 9 is immediately switched to display a non-stereo image.

  When the stereoscopic image drawing area and the non-stereoscopic image drawing area are separately provided in the VRAM area as in this embodiment, the effect control CPU 86 presses the operation button 516 by the player for a predetermined time. Then, the drawing control unit 206 stops only the drawing of the stereoscopic image out of the drawing of the stereoscopic image and the non-stereo image in the VRAM area, and the display control unit 213 draws the stereoscopic image in parallel with the stereoscopic image. The previously non-stereoscopic image may be displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a instead of the stereoscopic image.

  In other words, the effect control CPU 86 enables the player to visually recognize the non-stereoscopic image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a with both eyes. Thereafter, in the variable display device 9, the period of the super reach effect S3 in which the variable display ends is ended until a later-described 3D display stop period TS (see FIG. 20A) which is a predetermined time elapses. In addition, the display by the non-stereoscopic image is continued.

  That is, at the time of accepting a cancel operation from the player, since the non-stereo image is displayed and the display of the stereo image is stopped, it is possible to quickly switch from the stereo image to the non-stereo image. It can be avoided that the discomfort of the player due to the display continues.

  In the state in which the stereoscopic image is displayed on the variable display device 9 in the notice effect, the rendering of the stereoscopic image and the rendering of the non-stereoscopic image are performed in parallel only during the rendering periods T1, T3, and T5 that are cancelable periods. . In this way, when the player presses the operation button 516 during the production periods T1, T3, T5 in which the load on the VDP 262 is less than the production periods T2, T4, the non-stereoscopic images drawn in parallel are read out immediately. By displaying the non-stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9, the display can be quickly switched from the stereoscopic image display to the non-stereoscopic image display, and in the production periods T <b> 2 and T <b> 4 when the VDP 262 is relatively heavily loaded, By not rendering the stereoscopic image, it is possible to prevent the processing load for rendering these non-stereo images from being further applied to the VDP 262.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, when the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time in the production period T4 which is an uncancellable production of the announcement effect S1, the production control CPU 86 displays the announcement effect S1 in the production period. The display of the stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9 is continued until an effect period T5 that is an effect that can be canceled from T4.

  Then, at the time when the notice effect S1 is switched from the effect period T4 to the effect period T5, the effect control CPU 86 sends the VRAM to the drawing control unit 206 in the same manner as when the operation button 516 is pressed for a predetermined time in the effect period T5. The drawing of the stereoscopic image in the area is stopped and the drawing of the non-stereo image is started, and the non-stereo image drawn in the VRAM area is displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a instead of the stereoscopic image.

  In the present embodiment, when the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time in the production period T4 which is a production that cannot be canceled, the notice display device 9 is switched when the notice production S1 is switched from the production period T4 to the production period T5. However, when the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time in the effect period T2, the notice effect S1 is changed from the effect period T2 to the effect period T3. The display of the stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9 is switched to the display of a non-stereo image at the time when the display is switched to.

  In other words, in this embodiment, the cancel operation itself is accepted even in the production periods T2 and T4 that are set as the non-cancelable period, and when the production periods T2 and T4 have passed, the display is shifted to non-stereoscopic display. Therefore, there is no need to perform a cancel operation again when the cancelable periods T3 and T5 are entered, and the player can reduce troublesome operations. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these effects In periods T2 and T4, the acceptance of the cancel operation itself may be invalidated.

  As described above, in the 3D display suspension period TS in which the display of the stereoscopic image is prohibited when the display is switched from the display of the stereoscopic image to the display of the non-stereoscopic image by the cancel operation of the player, the same player operates Each time the button 516 is pressed for a predetermined time, it is extended.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 20A, when the stereoscopic display is started on the variable display device 9, the effect control CPU 86 cancels in advance from the time when the display of the stereoscopic image is started. The timing of the time set as the addition period TK is started.

  When the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time during the cancel count addition period TK, the effect control CPU 86 adds 1 as a cancel count to a cancel counter (not shown) stored in the RAM 85.

  Then, if the production period in which the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time is the production periods T1, T3, and T5 in which the production is cancelable, the production control CPU 86 uses that point as a switching point. If the production period in which 516 is pressed for a predetermined time is the production periods T2 and T4 which are productions that cannot be canceled, the time point when the production period T2 is switched to the production period T3 or the time point when the production period T4 is switched to the production period T5 is used as a switching point. As described above, the stereoscopic image display on the variable display device 9 is switched to the non-stereoscopic image display, and the 3D display suspension period TS is started.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 20C, the effect control CPU 86 refers to the 3D display stop period determination table stored in the ROM 84 and the cancel counter stored in the RAM 85, and stores it in the cancel counter. The time of the 3D display suspension period TS corresponding to the number of cancels being performed is determined. The time of the 3D display stop period TS stored in this 3D display stop period determination table is stored in association with each number of cancellations so that it becomes a long time sequentially as the number of cancellations increases. . For this reason, the 3D display suspension period TS is continued for a longer time as the number of cancellations stored in the cancellation counter increases.

  By doing in this way, when the same player repeatedly performs a cancel operation, the 3D display stop period TS, which is the stereoscopic display stop period, is lengthened, so that it is possible to reduce the trouble of the player performing a cancel operation.

  When the 3D display suspension period TS ends, the effect control CPU 86 performs control to enable display of a stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9. And in the variable display implemented after making it possible, when the effect which displays a stereo image is made, control which performs this stereo image is performed. When an effect accompanied by display of a stereoscopic image is being executed on the variable display device 9 at the time when the 3D display stop period TS ends, the effect control CPU 86 performs the 3D display stop period until the execution of the effect ends. Extend the end of TS. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the effect displayed on the non-stereoscopic image on the variable display device 9 is not suddenly switched to the display on the stereoscopic image by the end of the 3D display suspension period TS. Can prevent confusion.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20B, when the player does not press the operation button 516 for a predetermined time in the cancel count addition period TK, the effect control CPU 86 determines when the cancel count addition period TK ends. The reset count stored in the RAM 85 is reset.

  That is, if the player who has once performed the cancel operation does not perform the cancel operation again when the stereoscopic image is displayed, that is, if the player accepts the display of the stereoscopic image, the cancel count is reset. Therefore, it can be avoided that the number of cancellations is unnecessarily added and the 3D display suspension period TS becomes unnecessarily long.

  In the present embodiment, the number of cancels is reset when the cancel count addition period TK, which starts counting with the start of the stereoscopic display, has elapsed without a cancel operation by the player. When the player performs the cancel operation a plurality of times, the number of cancellations is added, and after the 3D display stop period TS corresponding to the number of cancellations is set and the stereoscopic display is prohibited, the stereoscopic display can be performed again. Even if the game is finished, the effect with the stereoscopic display is not necessarily executed during the period until the player finishes the game. Therefore, the player plays the game without executing the effect with the stereoscopic display. When the game is finished, the other player starts the game, and when an effect with a three-dimensional display is executed, the other player performs a cancel operation for the first time. In spite of having performed, the addition to the cancellation frequency of the player who played before is implemented, and the very long 3D display stop period TS is set, and 3D display will not be implemented. In order to solve these problems, there is a possibility that the number of cancellations of the player who has played before may be carried over as the number of cancellations of other players. By resetting the number of cancellations on the condition that a player waiting demo designation command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 156 is received in response to the player changing and the pachinko machine 1 becoming inoperative It is possible to prevent these players from being carried over by players with different numbers of cancellations.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the customer waiting demonstration designation command is received, if it is during the 3D display stop period TS, the effect control CPU 86 ends the 3D display stop period TS, Control to enable stereoscopic display is performed.

  That is, in this embodiment, as described above, the 3D display suspension period TS is gradually increased as the number of cancellations increases in order to reduce the trouble of the player's cancellation operation. If the player changes during the set long 3D display stop period TS, the other player who started the next game will display the 3D display until the long 3D display stop period TS elapses. As a result, there is an inconvenience that the interest of the gaming machine will be significantly lowered, but the pachinko machine 1 is not in operation due to the change of the player. In response, the 3D display suspension period TS was changed to be replaced on condition that the customer waiting demonstration designation command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 156 was received. In the gaming skills who, since to be possible stereoscopic display from the start of the game, it is possible to avoid that the interest of the gaming machine as described above is significantly reduced.

  In the first embodiment, when the player presses the operation button 516 for a predetermined time, the display of the stereoscopic image displayed on the image liquid crystal panel 9a is switched to the display of the non-stereo image. You may make it provide separately the switch for exclusive use for switching the display of the stereo image displayed in 9a to the display of a non-stereo image.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, in the notice effect S1, the effect control CPU 86 includes a right eye image and a left eye image that form a stereoscopic image in the VRAM area in the drawing control unit 206 in the effect periods T1, T3, and T5. The drawing with the non-stereo image is executed in parallel, and in the rendering periods T2 and T4, the drawing control unit 206 draws only the right-eye image and the left-eye image constituting the stereoscopic image in the VRAM area. If the unit 206 has sufficient processing capability, the effect control CPU 86 draws the stereoscopic image and the non-stereo image in parallel in the VRAM area in the regular rendering control unit 206 in the notice effect S1. You may make it perform.

  Next, the hold notice effect will be described with reference to FIG. 21. As described above, when the variable display cannot be started when the start winning is generated, the predetermined number of four is set as the upper limit and the number of reserved memories is set. 1 is added, and a display corresponding to the added hold memory is displayed on the hold memory display unit of the variable display device 9.

  Whether or not a super reach occurs or a big hit in the variable display by the hold memory newly displayed on the hold memory display portion is determined by a pre-read lottery in the game control microcomputer 156 at the start winning of the hold memory. The lottery result is notified to the effect control board 80 as a start winning determination result command, so that the effect control CPU 86 can grasp the result, and it is high when the super reach occurs or is a big hit. When the super-reach or the big hit is not achieved, the square hold display different from the circle display, which is a normal hold display, is performed at a low rate.

  In addition, because the normal circle hold display is displayed as a non-stereo image, the circle hold display does not change even if it is moved to the left or right. Nine parallax images constituting the three-dimensional image of the reserved display stored in the image data ROM 263 are read and displayed in the sub-pixels included in the pixels for displaying the display, so that the left-right direction of the reserved display is displayed. By turning around, as shown in FIG. 21, it is possible to visually recognize that the hold display that has been visible in the square is a dice-shaped cube.

  When it is decided that the big hit will be finally made, a V-shaped mark is displayed on the side surface at a higher rate than the case where the big hit is decided. Depending on whether or not the V-shaped mark is displayed on the side of the cube that is the displayed hold display, it is suggested by the 3D display that there is a high possibility that the change display by the hold display will be a big hit. In order to confirm these suggestions, the player will go around in the left and right direction of the hold display, that is, the pachinko machine can not confirm the suggestion unless it goes around in the left and right direction of the hold display. 1 and can improve the interest of the pachinko machine 1.

  That is, in the hold notice effect of FIG. 21, only the sub-pixel of the pixel included in the display area for displaying the square hold display related to the specific effect is the number of 9 parallaxes that is the maximum number of parallaxes corresponding to the hold notice effect. In this way, the display of the parallax image only needs to be performed for the pixels included in the display area for displaying the reserved display image. In the case where the parallax image is not read from the image data ROM 263 but is generated by the parallax image generation unit 264 as in the present embodiment, the sub-pixels of the pixels included in the display area are generated. Since only the parallax images to be displayed on the pixels need to be generated, the processing load for generating these parallax images can also be reduced.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the possibility of becoming a big hit in the hold notice effect is suggested before the change due to the hold memory is started. In the superreach that occurs after the start of the fluctuation according to the above, it is suggested that the jackpot may be a big hit, and the points that suggest the possibility of the jackpot in the super reach are shown in FIGS. Based on

  FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing random numbers used by the effect control microcomputer 81. As shown in FIG. 22, in this embodiment, a random number SR1 for determining the number of parallaxes is used. Note that random numbers other than these may be used to enhance the effect.

  The parallax number determination random number SR1 is a random number used to determine the number of parallaxes serving as the stereoscopic degree of a predetermined character (a space shuttle in the present embodiment) displayed in the super reach. Takes a value.

  Note that a counter for generating random numbers of these SR1 is formed in the RAM 85. And the numerical value of each counter is updated in the random number update process in the timer interruption process which the microcomputer 81 for effect control implements by timer interruption for every predetermined time interval. That is, the value is incremented by one. When the count value of the counter exceeds the upper limit value of the random number (maximum value in the range shown in FIG. 22), the counter is returned to the lower limit value (minimum value in the range shown in FIG. 22). Reading the count value of the counter for generating the random number is called extracting the random number.

  Further, the ROM 84 built in the production control microcomputer 81 stores a parallax number determination table shown in FIG. 23. Finally, by using the parallax number determination table and the parallax number determination random number SR1, The number of parallaxes is determined at a different rate depending on whether or not the big hit.

  In the parallax number determination table of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the display result of the variable display does not finally become a big hit display result, and the “big hit time” becomes the big hit display result. For each of the parallax numbers, “3 parallaxes”, “5 parallaxes”, and “9 parallaxes” are assigned the respective determination values of SR1 so as to have the determination value numbers shown in FIG.

  Specifically, for “out of time”, 70 determination values are assigned to “3 parallax”, 20 determination values are assigned to “5 parallax”, and 10 determination values are assigned to “9 parallax”. In the event that there is a final deviation, among the determination values stored in the items “3 parallax”, “5 parallax”, and “9 parallax” corresponding to the “out of time”, the extracted SR1 Depending on the item in which the determination value is stored, “3 parallax”, “5 parallax”, or “9 parallax” is determined as the number of parallaxes of the space shuttle that appears in the super reach shown in FIG.

  For “big hit”, 10 decision values are assigned to “3 parallax”, 30 decision values are assigned to “5 parallax”, and 60 decision values are assigned to “9 parallax”. In the case of a big hit, among the decision values stored in the items “3 parallax”, “5 parallax”, and “9 parallax” corresponding to the “big hit”, the extracted SR1 decision value is Depending on the stored items, “3 parallax”, “5 parallax”, or “9 parallax” is determined as the number of parallaxes of the space shuttle that appears in the super reach shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, when there is a final deviation, the number of determination values assigned is the largest with respect to “3 parallax”, which is a small number of parallaxes. The number of determination values assigned to “5 parallax” and “9 parallax”, which are larger than the number of parallaxes, is sequentially reduced. Is set so that the number of determination values assigned to “5 parallax” and “9 parallax”, which are larger than “3 parallax”, sequentially increases. Thus, by setting in this way, a small number of parallaxes can be easily determined when the final deviation occurs, and a large number of parallaxes is easily determined when the final big hit.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 24 (A), after the same decorative design is derived and stopped in the “left” and “right” variable display areas (symbol display area), For example, when the shutter (not shown) is operated and the front surface of the variable display device 9 is closed, as shown in FIG. Display of a stereoscopic image (parallax image) is started from the time when the variable display device 9 is opened and the state where the variable display device 9 is visible, and an effect image in which the space shuttle by the stereoscopic image crosses the screen while avoiding enemy attacks is displayed. (FIG. 24C).

  At this time, the parallax number of the image of the space shuttle crossing these screens is the parallax image of the parallax number determined by the parallax number determination table and SR1 as described above at the start of the super reach production. 3D display.

  That is, when the number of parallaxes is large (for example, the number of parallaxes is 9), for example, by turning around in the traveling direction of the space shuttle, an image viewed from almost the front of the space shuttle can be visually recognized. As shown in (C1), an image with a high degree of solidity is displayed due to the large number of parallaxes, and then, after successfully fending off the enemy, landing is completed as shown in FIG. When the ratio of big hits is high, but the number of parallaxes is small (for example, the number of parallaxes is 3), even when the space shuttle travels in the direction of travel, the image of the space shuttle viewed almost from the front cannot be viewed. The image viewed from a slight angle can be visually recognized, that is, as shown in FIG. 24C, an image with a small degree of stereo is displayed due to a small number of parallaxes, and then the enemies can not be completely avoided. Figure 24 fails to land (D), the proportion of decorative pattern is 24 (E) out without align all increases.

  Therefore, when the number of parallax of the space shuttle appearing in Super Reach is large and the degree of stereo is high, the possibility of a big hit is high, and when the number of parallax of the space shuttle is small and the degree of stereo is small, there is a possibility that it is off. Since it becomes high, the possibility of a big hit is suggested by the number of parallaxes.
