Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventional pachinko gaming machines have been devised to entertain players by displaying effect images on a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. In this type of pachinko gaming machine, there is a gaming machine that projects an image with a projector or the like instead of a liquid crystal display device or the like when displaying an effect (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-89813 A

  However, in the conventional gaming machine disclosed in each of the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1, there may be a region that cannot be projected by the projector (projection means), and there is a possibility that the rendering in the region that cannot be projected by the projector cannot be suitably performed. Also, the position of the screen is fixed, and there is a possibility that the interest of the game will not be improved.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that it is possible to suitably perform the performance even if there is an area where the projection means cannot project, and to give the player an unexpectedness and improve the interest of the game It is to provide a gaming machine that can.

(1) A gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 1) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a first projection region (for example, a screen 5 (main screen)) on which an image is projected, and a first projection on which an image is projected. Two projection areas (for example, sub-screens) and projection means (for example, a projector 32) that projects an image from a projection direction that is oblique to the first projection area. The projection area (for example, the projection area 5X) of the image projected from the means includes a wide part (for example, a wide part 5XW in the projection area 5X) and a narrow part (for example, a narrower part than the wide part). , And a light emitting means (for example, a sub LED 33) that emits light in a region outside the narrow portion in the projection region (for example, the non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR). Wherein the serial second of the projection area is rotatable (e.g., rotatable Y-axis YA and Z axes ZA around).

  According to the above-described configuration, even if there is an area where the projection unit cannot project, it is possible to execute the performance suitably, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving the player an unexpectedness.

  The “projection direction facing the oblique direction” refers to a direction in which the axis orthogonal to the projection area and the optical axis of the projection light projected from the projection unit are not parallel. In addition, in “light emission by the light emitting means”, light emission by irradiating light from a light source such as an LED to a region outside the narrow portion in the projection region or light transmission through the region outside the narrow portion in the projection region Light emission by including a light source on the back side of the region outside the narrow portion in the projection region is included.

(2) In the gaming machine of (1) above, the projection target in which a plurality of the projection target regions are formed (for example, the first screen region, the second screen region, and the third screen region in the multi-surface screen 5M) is formed. Means (for example, a multi-face screen 5M), and the projection means is slid (for example, by driving the stepping motor 57D and rotating the rear roller 57A, the curtain member 56 is rotated to move the screen 5). The projection area of the projection means can be updated (for example, the screen 5 can be switched from the first screen area to the second screen area). The projection means is not slidingly moved (for example, the stepping motor is not driven and the screen But not slid) may be projecting the image when (for example, may project an image from the projector 32 to the screen 5).

  According to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress the display of the image on the projection area from becoming monotonous.

(3) In any one of the above gaming machines (1) to (2), the rotation direction in the second projection area (rotatable sub screen) is from the following (a) to (c). It may be at least one selected direction (for example, one direction around the Y axis YA, around the Z axis ZA, two directions around the Y axis YA and around the Z axis ZA).
(A) A direction with the X axis as the rotation axis (clockwise or counterclockwise with the horizontal direction as the rotation axis, or clockwise or counterclockwise with the width direction of the game table as the rotation axis when the game table is viewed from the front. clockwise)
(B) A direction with the Y axis as the rotation axis (clockwise or counterclockwise with the horizontal and vertical directions as the rotation axis, and the height direction of the game table when the game table is viewed from the front as the rotation axis. Clockwise or counterclockwise)
(C) A gaming table when the gaming table is viewed from the front, in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction with a rotation axis in a direction orthogonal to the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) in the horizontal plane (X-axis direction). (Clockwise or counterclockwise with the depth direction as the rotation axis, and clockwise or counterclockwise with the rotation direction as the direction of jumping toward the player when the game table is viewed from the front)

  According to the above configuration, the production can be diversified and the interest can be improved.

For example, the rotatable sub-screen can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with the Y axis as the rotation axis, and can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with the Z axis as the rotation axis. There may be.

  The position where the sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen is provided is not particularly limited. For example, the upper, lower, right, left, upper right, upper left, lower right, Examples include the lower left side. Further, it may be a position adjacent to the screen 5 or a position away from the screen 5. As a more specific example of the position, for example, a rotatable sub screen is provided at the position of the sub image display device 70A of FIG.

  The number of sub-screens that can be rotated is not particularly limited, and may be 1, 2, 3, or may be 4 or more. The number of sub-screens that do not rotate is not particularly limited. Moreover, you may have the sub screen which does not rotate with the sub screen which can rotate.

  Further, the gaming machine 1 may be provided with a sub-LED that emits light in the non-projection area when a non-projection area is generated when an image is projected onto the sub-screen. This sub LED may be the right first sub LED 33AR and the right second sub LED 33BL, or may be an LED provided separately from the right first sub LED 33AR and the right second sub LED 33BL.

  The sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen may be provided with a screen drive mechanism that allows the screen to move. This screen drive mechanism may be a screen drive mechanism 34 that moves the screen 5, or may be a screen drive mechanism provided separately from the screen drive mechanism 34.

  An auxiliary display device may be provided on the surface of the game board 2 on the back side of the rotatable sub screen. The auxiliary display device may be provided, for example, corresponding to a position before rotation of the rotatable sub screen when the rotatable sub screen rotates. For example, a more specific description will be given with reference to FIG. In FIG. 28, an auxiliary display device 70B is provided on the front surface of the game board 2 on the back side of the sub image display device 70A. Instead of this sub image display device 70A, a rotatable sub screen is provided. Cases apply. An auxiliary display device 70B is provided on the surface of the game board 2 on the back side of the rotatable sub screen. The auxiliary display device 70B is provided corresponding to the position before rotation of the sub image display device 70A when the rotatable sub screen rotates around the Y axis YA or around the Z axis ZA. ing. (See Figure 28)

  As described above, since the auxiliary display device is provided on the back side of the rotatable sub screen, when the rotatable sub screen moves, the game on the back side of the rotatable sub screen is performed. It is possible to prevent the board from being seen. Therefore, it is possible to suitably execute an effect using the rotatable sub screen.

  The auxiliary display device may be a liquid crystal display device or a screen (third screen) on which an image is projected from a projector. In addition, when the screen is a screen on which an image is projected from the projector and a non-projection area is generated, a sub LED or the like may be provided.

  There is no particular limitation on the effect using the rotatable sub screen. For example, (i) the image projected from the projector 32 is focused on the rotatable sub screen and displayed on the main screen 5. The blurred image is left in a blurred state, and the rotatable sub screen is moved to the projection area of the main screen 5 by the rotation of the rotatable sub screen, and the player is blurred in the overlapping portion. (Ii) The focus of the image projected from the projector 32 is adjusted to the rotatable sub-screen, and the image displayed on the main screen 5 is kept in a blurred state. By rotating the rotatable sub-screen, the image displayed on the main screen 5 is blurred. An effect of changing to a clear state, (iii) An effect in which a part of the image displayed on the rotatable sub-screen is displayed on the main screen 5 after rotating the rotatable sub-screen. Etc.

  The normal winning ball device 6A provided in the game board 2 forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area that is always kept in a constant open state. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B includes an electric tulip type accessory that changes between a normal open state and an expanded open state by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. Forming a mouth. It should be noted that the electric tulip-type accessory is controlled to be in an expanded and open state when the variable display result (final result) in the normal game (described later) becomes “per normal map”. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door shown in FIG. 4, and as a specific region that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form a big prize opening. The big prize opening is controlled to be in an open state when the variable display result (final result) in the first special game (described later) or the second special game (described later) becomes “big hit”.

  The first special symbol display device 4A has a first start condition, which will be described later, after winning the normal winning ball device 6A (after the first starting condition is established by the game ball passing through the first starting winning opening). The special symbol is variably displayed based on the establishment. The second special symbol display device 4B has a second start condition, which will be described later, after winning the normal variable winning ball device 6B (after the second starting condition is established because the game ball has passed the second starting winning opening). The special symbol is variably displayed based on the fact that is established.

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a first special symbol, and the variable display of the first special symbol is also referred to as a “first special symbol game”. The special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a second special symbol, and the variable display of the second special symbol is also referred to as a “second special symbol game”. In addition, both the first special figure game and the second special figure game are collectively referred to as “special figure game”, and both the first start condition and the second start condition are collectively referred to as “special figure start condition”. Both the condition and the second start condition may be collectively referred to as “special drawing start condition”.

  After the variable display result in the special game is “big hit” (for example, after a special symbol predetermined as a big win symbol is derived and displayed as a variable display result (stop display)), the big win gaming state (game) An example of an advantageous state advantageous to a person). The big hit game state is a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls in the special winning ball apparatus 7 This is a gaming state in which the big prize opening is controlled to be in an open state until the time of occurrence.

  Despite having won the normal winning ball device 6A (even though the first start condition is satisfied), the start condition for starting the first special figure game (also referred to as the first start condition) is still present. When is not established, the variable display corresponding to the winning is stored as a reserved storage. Specifically, the information for executing the variable display (first special figure game) based on the winning is suspended in such a manner that the winning order can be recognized up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (first special game). It is stored as figure hold memory (details will be described later). Despite having won the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B (despite the second start condition being satisfied), the start condition for starting the second special figure game (also referred to as the second start condition) is still present. ) Is not established, the variable display corresponding to the winning is stored as a reserved storage. Specifically, information for executing variable display (second special figure game) based on the winning is held in such a manner that the winning order can be recognized up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (second special game). It is stored as figure hold memory (details will be described later). In addition, for example, the winning order in the whole (the following special figure holding memory) that combines the first special figure holding memory and the second special figure holding memory separately from the first special figure holding memory and the second special figure holding memory is as follows. Information that can be understood may be stored. Even when the first start condition is satisfied immediately when the first start condition is satisfied, the first special figure hold memory may be stored although it is instantaneous (although it is immediately digested after storage). . In addition, even when the second start condition is satisfied immediately when the second start condition is satisfied, the second special figure holding memory may be stored, although it is instantaneous. Note that both the first special figure hold memory and the second special figure hold memory may be collectively referred to as “special figure hold memory”.

  The special figure start condition is, for example, when the special figure game hold number (also referred to as the special figure hold memory number) is not 0, the special figure game is not executed, and is controlled to the big hit game state. It is established when the state is not set. When the special figure start condition is satisfied (every time the special figure game is started), the special figure holding memory is consumed (the special figure holding memory is reduced), and the special figure game is started. In other words, the special figure hold memory decreases every time the special figure game is started. More specifically, the number of holds of the first special figure game (the number of first special figure hold memory) decreases every time the first special figure game is started (every time the first start condition is satisfied), The number of holds of the 2 special figure game (the number of second special figure hold memory) decreases every time the second special figure game is started (every time the second start condition is satisfied).

  In the present embodiment, the special figure hold memory is digested in the order of winning regardless of whether it is the first special figure hold memory or the second special figure hold memory. Therefore, for example, when the first special figure hold memory, the first special figure hold memory, the second special figure hold memory, and the first special figure hold memory are stored in this order, the first start condition, the first start condition The second start condition and the first start condition are satisfied in this order. That is, as described above, the special figure start condition is a state where the special figure holding memory number is not 0, the special figure game is not executed, and the special hit game state is not controlled. More specifically, if the special figure hold memory stored first is the first special figure hold memory, the first start condition is satisfied and the special figure stored first is satisfied. The second start condition is satisfied when the hold memory is the second special figure hold memory.

  The center frame 4C is provided in the center of the game board 2, and a screen mounting hole 2A is formed in the center portion of the center frame 4C. Further, a logo accessory 26 is attached to the upper end portion of the center frame 4C. The logo accessory 26 is fixedly attached to the center frame 4C. However, the logo accessory 26 may be a movable type that moves in the vertical direction, for example.

  The first hold indicator 25A displays the hold number of the first special figure game (first special figure hold memory number) so as to be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the number of holds of the second special figure game (second special figure hold number) so as to be specified. In the normal symbol display 20, after the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 (after the normal figure starting condition by the game ball passing through the passing gate 41 is satisfied), the starting condition of the later-described general game is satisfied. Based on this, variable display of normal symbols is performed. Note that the variable display of normal symbols is also referred to as a “common game”.

  Even if the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 (even though the normal chart start condition is satisfied), the start condition of the normal chart game (also referred to as the general chart start condition) is not yet satisfied. The variable display based on passage (ordinary game) is suspended up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) (stored as ordinary map storage).

  The start condition of the ordinary game (ordinary figure start condition) is, for example, a case where the number of ordinary reserved memories is not 0, the variable symbol display (ordinary game) is not executed, and the big hit The condition may be satisfied when the game state is not controlled. It should be noted that, even if the general chart start condition is satisfied immediately when the general chart start condition is satisfied, the general map hold memory may be stored, although it is instantaneous.

  The general figure hold display unit 25C displays the number of hold of the general figure game (the number of general figure hold storage) in an identifiable manner. It should be noted that the number of holdings of the ordinary game (also referred to as the number of ordinary holdings) decreases each time the ordinary game is started (every time the ordinary drawing start condition is satisfied).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the logo accessory 26 includes a decorative material 26 </ b> A and an accessory casing 26 </ b> B. The decorative material 26A is made of a light transmissive material, and the accessory casing 26B is made of a light non-transmissive material.

An opening through which the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 passes is formed at a substantially central position on the back surface of the accessory housing 26B. An opening through which the projection light (image) LP reflected by the reflection mirror 28 passes is formed. In addition, the reflection mirror 28 is fixed inside the logo accessory 26 inside the accessory case 26B. The inner side of the accessory housing 26B and the back side of the reflection mirror 28 are white, and the reflectance is high. Since the reflection mirror 28 faces the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the back surface of the reflection mirror 28 faces the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  The projector 32 is disposed at a position above the screen 5 so that the projected projection light LP reaches the reflection mirror 28. Further, the reflection mirror 28 is disposed in a direction in which the projection light projected by the projector 32 is directed toward the screen 5. The projector 32 is provided in the game frame 3A, and the reflection mirror 28 is provided in the logo accessory 26 attached to the game board 2 fixed to the game frame 3A. For this reason, even if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is moved or the door frame 3B is opened and closed, the relative positional relationship between the projector 32 and the reflection mirror 28, and further the relative position between the projector 32 and the screen 5 The relationship remains unchanged. Therefore, even if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is moved or the door frame 3B is opened and closed, an image can be projected from the projector 32 at an appropriate position on the screen 5. Further, since the reflection mirror 28 is provided on the back side of the logo accessory 26, the reflection mirror 28 can be provided without impairing the design.

  The screen projected by the projector 32 is not particularly limited. For example, the projector 32 may project both the screen 5 and the sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen, or may project only the screen 5. A projector that projects the sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen may be provided separately from the projector 32. When separately providing a projector to be used for a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen, the projector 32 can be arranged in the same manner as the projector 32.

  The reflection mirror 28 may be used for both the screen 5 and the sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen, or may be used only for the screen 5. Also good. The reflection mirror used for the sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen may be provided separately from the reflection mirror 28.

  The screen 5 is provided in a screen mounting hole 2 </ b> A formed in the center of the game board 2, and is disposed in the back of the game board 2. On the screen 5, an image projected from the projector 32 and reflected by the reflecting mirror 28 is projected. As shown in FIG. 4, the screen 5 is provided on the multi-face screen 5M. The multi-sided screen 5M includes a plurality of screen areas, and the plurality of screen areas can be switched. The multi-face screen 5M includes a curtain member 56 and a rotation drive mechanism 57. The curtain member 56 includes a belt-like cloth material. A part of the screen area of the curtain member 56 becomes the screen 5.

  Further, the sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen may be a screen having a plurality of screen areas and capable of switching between the plurality of screen areas like the multi-sided screen 5M. .

  The rotational drive mechanism 57 includes a rear roller 57A that is disposed relatively rearward, an upper roller 57B that is disposed upper front and a lower roller 57C that is disposed lower front. A stepping motor 57D is connected to the rear roller 57A via a gear mechanism 58, and the rear roller 57A functions as a driving roller. Further, the upper roller 57B and the lower roller 57C are pivotally supported so as to function as driven rollers. The rear roller 57A, the upper roller 57B, and the lower roller 57C are arranged at the apex positions of the regular triangle as viewed from the side.

  A curtain member 56 is wound around the rear roller 57A, the upper roller 57B, and the lower roller 57C. The screen member 56 has three screen regions. In the state shown in FIG. 1, a first screen area 56A is formed between the upper roller 57B and the lower roller 57C in the curtain member 56, and a second screen area 56B is formed between the upper roller 57B and the rear roller 57A. A third screen region 56C is formed between the rear roller 57A and the lower roller 57C. Of these three screen regions, the screen region disposed between the upper roller 57B and the lower roller 57C is the screen 5.

  A stepping motor 57D connected to the rear roller 57A applies a rotational force to the rear roller 57A while regulating the amount of rotation of the rear roller 57A. When the rear roller 57A rotates, the curtain member 56 rotates as the rear roller 57A rotates. As the curtain member 56 rotates, the upper roller 57B and the lower roller 57C are driven to guide the rotation of the curtain member 56. The rear roller 57A rotates counterclockwise in the state shown in FIG. 1, and the curtain member 56 also rotates counterclockwise. As the curtain member 56 rotates, the screen 5 slides and, for example, the screen 5 between the upper roller 57B and the lower roller 57C is switched from the first screen region 56A to the second screen region 56B.

  An image projected from the projector 32 and reflected by the reflecting mirror 28 is projected onto the screen 5. A part of the center of the screen 5 is a projection area 5X where the projection light from the projector 32 is projected. The projection area 5X has a horizontally long rectangular shape, and performs variable display of decorative symbols (also referred to as effect symbols) and various effect displays. In the projection area 5X, a flat display area is formed as a display area.

  Different backgrounds are drawn in the first screen area 56A, the second screen area 56B, and the third screen area 56C. Specifically, for example, a town as a background is drawn in the first screen area 56A. In the second screen area 56B, a sea as a background is drawn. In the third screen area 56C, a mountain as a background is drawn. The first screen region 56A to the third screen region 56C have the same shape and size. However, the first screen region 56A to the third screen region 56C may have different shapes and sizes, or some of them may have the same shape and size and the other portions may have different shapes and sizes. Also good.

  For example, when the screen 5 is switched from the first screen area 56A to the second screen area 56B, the stepping motor 57D rotates the rear roller 57A so as to move the width of the first screen area 56A and scrolls the curtain member 56. Let By the scroll of the curtain member 56, the screen 5 is switched from the first screen area 56A to the second screen area 56B. Similarly, when the screen 5 is switched from the second screen area 56B to the third screen area 56C, the curtain member 56 is scrolled until the third screen area 56C is positioned at the position of the second screen area 56B. When the screen 5 is switched from the third screen area 56C to the first screen area 56A, the curtain member 56 is scrolled until the first screen area 56A is positioned at the position of the third screen area 56C.

  Further, the projector 32 and the reflection mirror 28 that reflects the image projected by the projector 32 are arranged above the screen 5, and the image projected from the projector 32 is reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and from the upper front of the screen 5. Projected onto the screen 5. Thus, in the projector 32, the optical axis of the projection light LP and the display surface of the screen 5 (surface on which the projection region X is formed) are not orthogonal to each other, but from a projection direction that is oblique to the display surface of the screen 5. An image is projected on the screen 5. Since the projector 32 projects an image from a projection direction that faces obliquely, the image displayed on the screen 5 has a trapezoidal shape. The screen 5 has a rectangular shape, and the screen 5 and the image area projected from the projector 32 do not coincide with each other, and the screen 5 is wider than the image displayed on the screen 5.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, the area formed in the lower part of the projection area 5X on the screen 5 is a wide wide part 5XW, and the area formed in the upper part is a wide part. The narrow portion 5XN is narrower than 5XW. Since the projection region 5X has a trapezoidal shape and the screen 5 has a rectangular shape, the left and right positions of the narrow portion 5XN are non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR where the image projected from the projector 32 does not reach. The phenomenon in which these non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are generated occurs in common when the screen 5 is any one of the first screen area 56A to the third screen area.

  The non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR correspond to regions outside the narrow portion 5XN, and are regions having a difference in width between the wide portion 5XW and the narrow portion 5XN in the projection region 5X. In other words, the difference between the width of the wide portion 5XW and the width of the narrowest portion of the narrow portion 5XN is the maximum width of the non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR. The sub LED 33 provided in the lower front side inside the game frame 3A irradiates the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the irradiation light LL to emit the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR. The range where is not displayed is lost.

  Further, surrounding members in the screen 5, specifically, the center frame 4C, nails, windmills, and the like are formed of a hardly reflective material. As the hard-reflective material, a material such as black, which is a color that hardly reflects the projection light LP, or a material that hardly reflects the projection light LP, such as carbon black, chromium oxide, or a material with a rough surface. A thing may be used.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, hold display areas 5H1, 5H2, hold number display area 5F, and current display area 5K are arranged in the projection area 5X of the screen 5. Yes. In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, decorative symbols are variably displayed corresponding to the special symbol game. Thereafter, in response to the fixed special symbol being derived and displayed as the variable display result in the special symbol game, the fixed decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R is derived and displayed. Is done. The decorative symbols that are variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are also referred to as the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol, respectively. The variable display of the identification information may be collectively referred to as a variable display game. However, the variable display game includes variable display of decorative symbols together with the above-described special game and general game.

  When the variable display result in the special game is “big hit”, a definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. In addition, when the variable display result in the special game is not “big hit”, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, a definite decorative symbol different from a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed. An example of the predetermined jackpot combination is a combination in which the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are the same symbol (for example, ("7" "7" "7")).

  In the holding display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the variable display holding number of decorative symbols corresponding to the special game is displayed in an identifiable manner. For example, in the hold display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the decorative symbols can be changed in such a manner that the winning order (digestion order) for each decorative symbol corresponding to the first special symbol game and the decorative symbol corresponding to the second special symbol game is known. The number of pending displays corresponding to the number of pending displays is displayed. Specifically, in the first hold display area 5H1, the decorative symbols corresponding to the first special figure game are displayed in a line according to the winning order, and in the second hold display area 5H2, the second special figure is displayed. The display of the decorative symbols corresponding to the game is arranged and displayed according to the winning order. In the hold display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the hold display corresponding to the variable display to be started is erased (digested) and erased each time variable display of the decorative symbols corresponding to the special game is started. When there is another hold display other than the hold display, the display position of the other hold display is moved (shifted) to the hold display side (current display area 5K side) where the display position of the other hold display is deleted.

  In the hold number display area 5F, similarly to the hold display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the hold number of the variable display of decorative symbols corresponding to the special game is displayed in an identifiable manner. The display mode is a mode that is displayed with arithmetic numbers. In the current display area 5K, a current display (sometimes referred to as a digestion display or an active display) is displayed. The current display is displayed according to the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the digested hold display (displayed instead of the hold display digested when the hold display is digested). Note that the hold display and the current display are shown as simple figures, for example, circles.

  In the gaming machine 1, various effects can be executed. For example, in the gaming machine 1, a reach effect that is performed in a state (reach state) that partially matches a predetermined jackpot combination, for example, is executed until a confirmed decorative symbol is derived and displayed. . The state in which the jackpot combination partially matches is, for example, a state in which the same left symbol and right symbol are derived and displayed, and a middle symbol is still variably displayed. Further, in the gaming machine 1, it is possible to execute an effect based on the display mode of the hold display and an effect based on the display mode of the current display. Further, the gaming machine 1 can also perform effects using the speaker 8 and the lamp 9. In the gaming machine 1, by executing these effects, for example, the jackpot expectation (reliability) is notified or suggested to the player.

  The expectation degree (reliability) of a certain effect A is, for example, (probability that the effect A is executed when the jackpot is hit) × (probability that the effect is executed) / {(the effect A is executed when the jackpot is reached) (Probability) × (probability of winning jackpot) + (probability of effect A being executed when jackpot is not hit) × (probability of not hitting jackpot)} (when the jackpot expectation is “1”) It ’s a “big hit”).

  It should be noted that the determination or determination regarding the production (determination or determination regarding whether or not the production is performed, the type and content of the production to be performed, etc.) may be performed at the time of starting winning or at the time of starting variable display.

  FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing various control boards and the like. In the gaming machine 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a main board 11, an effect control board 12, an audio control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15, a power supply board 16, and the like are mounted. In the gaming machine 1, for example, a payout control board, an information terminal board, a launch control board, an interface board, a touch sensor board, and the like may be mounted. These boards serve as control means for controlling the gaming machine.

  The main board 11 is a main control board. The main board 11 controls the first hold indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, the general-purpose hold indicator 25C, the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbol display device 20. A function, a function of outputting an effect control command to the effect control board 12 via the relay board 15, a function of outputting various kinds of information to the hall management computer, and the like.

  The effect control command output to the effect control board 12 side is, for example, a first start opening prize designation command (second start opening prize designation command) for notifying the first start prize opening (second start prize opening). The first reserved memory number notification command (second reserved memory number notification command) for notifying the first special figure reserved memory number (second special figure reserved memory number), and the variable display result is a big hit as the determination result at the time of winning. Symbol designating command that indicates whether or not it is a judgment result or jackpot type judgment result, variation category designation command that designates a variation pattern type (category, group) such as a special symbol or decorative design, variation pattern designation that designates a variation pattern A command, a variable display result notification command for designating a variable display result such as a special symbol or a decorative symbol, and the current gaming state of the gaming machine 1 (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state) It is a game state specification command for designating a high-base status, etc.).

  On the main board 11, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, a solenoid circuit 111, and the like are mounted. The switch circuit 110 outputs detection signals from the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22 </ b> A, the second start port switch 22 </ b> B, and the count switch 23 to the game control microcomputer 100. The solenoid circuit 111 outputs a solenoid drive signal from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory and the solenoid 82 for the big prize door.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the game control microcomputer 100 includes a ROM 101, a RAM 102, a CPU 103, a random number circuit 104, and an I / O 105. For example, the CPU 103 counts various random values (numerical data indicating random values) used for various determinations (determinations) in an updatable manner. For example, the CPU 103 causes the random number circuit 104 or the like to use the random number value MR1 for special figure display result determination (determination), the random value MR2 for jackpot type determination (determination), the random value MR3 for determining the variation category, and the normal map display result. The random number value MR4 for determination and the random value MR5 for determining the variation pattern are counted so as to be updatable. The random value MR1 is a random value used for determining (determining) whether or not to make a “big hit” for a variable display result of a special symbol or the like in a special figure game (whether to control to the big hit gaming state). The random value MR2 is a random value used to determine (determine) the jackpot type as one of a plurality of types when the variable display result is “big jackpot”. The random value MR3 is a random value used for determining one of a plurality of types of variation categories prepared in advance. The random value MR4 is set to determine whether or not the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol in the normal game is “per normal” (whether or not the normal variable winning ball device 6B (electric tulip-type accessory) is controlled to be in the expanded open state. ) Is a random value used to determine (determine). The random value MR5 is a random value used for determining one of a plurality of types of variation patterns prepared in advance.

  The ROM 101 stores a program executed by the CPU 103. The ROM 101 also stores data constituting various tables used for the CPU 103 to perform various determinations (determinations). The RAM 102 corresponds to the hold number indicating the winning order (for example, the winning order) in such a manner that the winning order (digestion order) is known as information regarding the variable display that has not yet been started as the holding information (special drawing holding memory, ordinary drawing holding memory). Add) remember. The special figure holding storage may be specifically numerical data indicating a value such as the random value MR1 at the time of winning (or information indicating a determination (determination) result based on the numerical data). More specifically, the regular-pending storage may be numerical data indicating the value of the random value MR4 at the time of winning (or information indicating a determination (determination) result based on the numerical data). The RAM 102 also stores information (for example, various flags) indicating the current gaming state (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state, a high base state, etc.). The RAM 102 may be a backup RAM that is backed up by a backup power supply circuit provided on the power supply board 16.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board. The effect control board 12 has a function of inputting an effect control command, a function of determining (determining) an effect in video projection of the projector 32, and the like.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the effect control board 12 includes an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125. The effect control CPU 120 counts various random number values for effect determination (decision) so as to be updatable by the random number circuit 124 or the like. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 performs various determinations (determinations) by executing the program read from the ROM 121.

  The ROM 121 stores a program executed by the effect control CPU 120. The ROM 121 stores data constituting various tables used for the production control CPU 120 to make various determinations (determinations). The RAM 122 displays information relating to variable display that has not yet been started as hold information (information indicated by a variable category designation command, a symbol designation command, etc.) in a manner in which the winning order (digestion order) is known (for example, the winning order is indicated). Store it in association with the buffer number. In addition, the RAM 122 stores a result of determination by the effect control CPU 120 (for example, determination content of a display mode such as a hold display). In addition, the RAM 122 may store information (for example, various flags) indicating the current gaming state (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state, a high base state, etc.).

  The display control unit 123 controls the projector 32 and the sub LED 33. For example, the display control unit 123, based on commands from the effect control PCU 120, control data, and the like, the projector 32 according to various effects such as variable display of decorative symbols, effects based on the display mode of the hold display and the current display. The content of the image projected from the above and the lighting and blinking of the sub LED 33 are controlled. The sound control board 13 controls the speaker 8 based on a command, control data, or the like from the effect control board 12 (effect control PCU 120). The lamp control board 14 controls the lamp 9 based on a command, control data, or the like from the effect control board 12 (effect control PCU 120).

  The power supply board 16 is installed independently of each control board such as the main board 11, the effect control board 12, and the payout control board, and generates a voltage used by each control board and mechanism component in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the power supply board 16 generates AC24V, VLP (DC + 24V), VSL (DC + 30V), VDD (DC + 12V), VCC (DC + 5V), and VBB (DC + 5V). The power supply board 16 only needs to be equipped with a backup power supply circuit and a clear switch. The backup power supply circuit may include a capacitor that is charged from a power supply line of VDD (DC + 5V), for example. The motor drive unit 17 performs drive control of the stepping motor 57D in the rotation drive mechanism 57 based on a motor drive signal including a command and control data transmitted from the effect control PCU 120.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 executes a projection process for controlling the projection of the video from the projector 32 at a specific time. The specific time is when the stepping motor 57D in the rotation drive mechanism 57 is driven. The projection process is executed by the CPU 120 for effect control on the effect control board 12. The effect control CPU 120 executes the projection process when it is time to execute the projection process. The effect control CPU 120 may execute the projection control in an interrupt control process executed, for example, every predetermined time, for example, every 2 ms.

  Hereinafter, an example of the projection control process when controlling the projection of the video from the projector 32 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the projection control process. As shown in FIG. 5, in the projection control process, first, motor determination is performed (step S1). The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the motor drive unit 17 is driving the stepping motor 57D (step S2). Whether or not the motor drive unit 17 is driving the stepping motor 57D is determined based on whether or not the motor drive unit 17 is outputting a motor drive signal to the stepping motor 57D. When the motor drive unit 17 is outputting a motor drive signal, it is determined that the stepping motor 57D is in a drive state. When the motor drive unit 17 does not output a motor drive signal, it is determined that the stepping motor 57D is in a stopped state.

  When it is determined by the motor drive determination that the stepping motor 57D is in the drive state (step S2: YES), the effect control CPU 120 turns off the projector 32 and stops projecting the projected video from the projector 32 (step S2). S3) and the projection control process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined by the motor drive determination that the stepping motor 57D is not in the driving state (step S2: NO), the effect control CPU 120 permits the projection video from the projector 32 to be projected (step S4). The projection control process ends.

  In this way, when the stepping motor 57D is driven and the screen 5 is switched, the projector 32 is turned off to limit the projection of the image from the projector 32. In addition, as a restriction | limiting of the projection of an image | video from the projector 32, it is good also as another aspect which turns off the switch of the projector 32. FIG.

  For example, the light amount of the projector 32 may be reduced, or the projection direction of the projector 32 may be changed from a direction facing the reflection mirror 28 (a direction facing the screen 5) to a different direction. Further, a shutter may be provided at the projection port of the projector 32, and the shutter may be closed so that the projection light does not leak from the projector 32. Further, a shutter is provided in the opening through which the projection light in the logo accessory 26 passes, and when the projection video projection from the projector 32 is stopped, the shutter is closed to block the projection light from the projector 32. Also good.

  Further, whether or not the screen 5 is switched may be determined based on a state other than the driving state of the motor 57D. For example, a movement sensor that determines the movement of the curtain member 56 is provided, and the movement sensor determines the movement of the curtain member 56 to determine that the screen 5 is switched in the curtain member 56. Good. In addition, a switching time required from when the screen 5 starts switching to when the switching ends is stored in advance, and after the screen 5 starts the switching operation, the screen 5 is switched depending on whether the switching time has elapsed. You may make it judge whether it is performed. Alternatively, it is determined whether the screen 5 is switched based on whether or not part or all of the screen movement drive 72 such as the rollers 57A to 57C, the rack member 72B, and the pinion gear 72C driven by the motor 57D is moving. You may make it do. Furthermore, it may be determined whether the screen 5 has been switched based on the start timing of the effects executed on the screen 5 during the special figure game, the interval between effects, or the like.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, an effect is executed by displaying an image projected from the projector 32 on the screen 5. The effect may also be executed by displaying an image on a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen. Hereinafter, an example of an effect produced by displaying an image on the screen 5 from the projector 32 in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the operational effects in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

  For example, when the first start condition is satisfied after winning the normal winning ball apparatus 6A, an effect is started in which the variable symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R shown in FIG. In addition, a reach effect is executed until the fixed decorative symbol is derived and displayed after the variable display is started, or a jackpot effect is executed during the jackpot game to which the transition is made after the jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a special symbol. Or These effects are displayed by projecting the image projected from the projector 32 onto the screen 5. Further, it may be performed by displaying an image on a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen.

  The image projected from the projector 32 first reaches the reflection mirror 28 disposed inside the logo accessory 26. The reflection mirror 28 reflects the projected image toward the screen 5. On the screen 5, the projected image is displayed and various effects are executed.

  In the projection area 5X, an effect of displaying an image by a video projected from the projector 32 is executed. Here, on the screen 5, as shown in FIG. 1, non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR where the image projected from the projector 32 does not reach are generated due to the nature of the projector 32 and the like.

  Irradiated light emitted from the sub LED 33 is shown on the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR. In this way, by irradiating the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the irradiation light of the sub LED 33, although there is an area where the projector 32 cannot project an image, it is possible to suitably perform an effect. The non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR may be supplemented with the irradiation light of the sub-LEDs 33A and 33B in addition to the mode in which the irradiation light from the sub-LED 33 is simply irradiated.

  When a non-projection area is generated in a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen, an area in which an image cannot be projected by irradiating irradiation light emitted from the sub-LED to the non-projection area. A certain effect can be suitably executed. Further, the image of the non-projection area may be supplemented with the irradiation light of the sub LED.

  An image projected from the projector 32 onto the screen 5 has a trapezoidal shape. In the present embodiment, since the screen 5 is rectangular, it is conceivable to perform so-called trapezoidal correction that matches the length of the long side of the trapezoid of the image projected on the screen 5 with the length of the short side. However, due to restrictions such as the distance relationship between the screen 5 and the projector 32 for performing keystone correction, the image cannot be corrected to a rectangle even by the keystone correction, and the image of the projector 32 cannot be displayed at the upper left and right positions of the keystone. Projection areas 5NL and 5NR are generated. In the present embodiment, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are irradiated with the irradiation light of the sub LED 33, so that light is applied to the entire rectangular screen 5, and the player is informed that the screen 5 is rectangular. Can be recognized. In addition, since an image can be displayed in all areas of the horizontally long rectangular screen 5, even if there is an area that cannot be projected by the projector, it is possible to execute the effect suitably. Therefore, a decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub LED is disposed on the lower front side inside the game frame 3 </ b> A, and the sub LED 33 is disposed on the lower front surface of the screen 5 as a relative positional relationship with the screen 5. The sub LED 33 may be arranged at other positions, for example, the upper front surface of the screen 5, or the right front surface or the left front surface.

  The images displayed in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR may be formed by a display device other than the sub LED 33. For example, instead of the sub LED 33, another sub projector different from the projector 32 may be used, or a liquid crystal display device is arranged in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR of the screen 5 to display an image on the liquid crystal display device. May be. Also, other display devices such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display or an EL display may be used.

  Further, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are formed in the plane area, but a three-dimensional object such as an accessory may be provided in the non-projection area, and the three-dimensional object may be emitted by irradiating with the sub LED. Alternatively, the three-dimensional object may be made of a light-transmitting material, and a sub LED or the like may be disposed on the back side of the three-dimensional object so that the three-dimensional object emits light.

  Further, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 is projected in a range wider than the area of the reflection mirror 28. For this reason, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 becomes light that illuminates the decorative material 26 </ b> A in the logo accessory 26 in addition to the image that is reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and projected onto the screen 5. Since the decorative material 26A is made of a light-transmitting material, the light projected from the projector 32 is transmitted and decorated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the projection light LP projected on the reflection mirror 28 is between the back surface of the decorative material 26 </ b> A in the logo accessory 26, the inner side surface of the accessory case 26 </ b> B, and the back surface of the reflection mirror 28. Diffuse reflection. Due to this irregular reflection of light, the luminance of the light passing through the decorative material 26A can be increased. Furthermore, the inner surface of the accessory casing 26B and the back surface of the reflecting mirror 28 are white, and the light reflectance is high. For this reason, the amount of light irregularly reflected between the inner side surface of the logo accessory 26 and the back surface of the reflecting mirror 28 is increased, and the luminance of the light passing through the decorative material 26A can be further increased.

  In order to increase the luminance of the light passing through the decorative material 26A, the amount of light absorption is reduced between the inner side surface of the logo accessory 26 and the back surface of the accessory case 26B in the reflection mirror 28, and the reflection amount is increased. It may be made to become. Specifically, in addition to white as described above, the accessory casing 26B may be formed of a material having a high light reflectance, or a layer made of a material having a high light reflectance may be formed. Also good.

  Further, depending on the display of the screen 5 and the contents of the effect using the logo accessory 26, the projection range of the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 is limited to the inside of the reflection mirror 28, or the range of the reflection mirror 28. The projection light LP may reach the inside of the logo accessory 26 beyond the above. For example, when an effect with a high expectation level for big hits is not executed, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 is limited to the inside of the reflection mirror 28, and the logo object 26 is not decorated by passing the projection light LP. When an effect with a high expectation degree of big hit is executed, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 may be set in a wider range than the reflection mirror 28, and decoration may be performed by the projection light LP being transmitted through the logo accessory 26. . When performing decoration by allowing the projection light LP to pass through the logo accessory 26, various decorations can be easily performed by the projection light LP projected from the projector 32.

  Further, the projector 32 is disposed relatively upward as viewed from the screen 5, but may be disposed below as viewed from the screen 5, or may be disposed on the right side or the left side. When the projector 32 is disposed relatively downward as viewed from the screen 5, for example, the reflection mirror 28 is disposed on the back side of the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, or the special variable winning ball device 7. May be. Further, when the projector 32 is disposed on the right or left side when viewed from the screen 5, the reflection mirror 28 may be disposed on the back side of the decorative structure on the right or left side of the screen 5.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a multi-sided screen 5M, and any one of the plurality of screen areas 56A to 56C in the multi-sided screen area is used as the screen 5. For this reason, the monotony of the image displayed on the screen 5 can be suppressed, and it can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  The plurality of screen areas 56A to 56C are formed in the curtain member 56, and the screen area to be the screen 5 can be switched by driving the stepping motor 57D to slide the curtain member 56. For example, when the first screen area 56A is the screen 5, the second screen area 56B is switched to the screen. Further, when the second screen area 56B is the screen 5, the third screen area 56C is switched to the screen, and when the third screen area 56C is the screen 5, the first screen area 56A. Is switched to the screen.

  The screen 5 is switched in the order of the first screen area 56A → the second screen area 56B → the third screen area 56C. For example, by rotating the stepping motor 57D in the reverse direction, the curtain member 56 is rotated clockwise. And may be executed in the order of the third screen area 56C → second screen area 56B → first screen area 56A. Further, for example, the screen may be switched by skipping the screen area while rotating the curtain member 56 counterclockwise. For example, when the first screen area 56A is the screen 5, the curtain member 56 is rotated counterclockwise, the second screen area 56B is skipped, and the curtain member 56 is slid to the third screen area 56C. The third screen region 56C may be the screen 5.

  Moreover, when switching the screen 5, you may make it a big hit expectation differ according to the switching mode of the screen 5. FIG. For example, when the screen 5 is switched, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when the screen 5 is not switched. Even when the screen 5 is switched, the switching is performed in the order of the first screen area 56A → the second screen area 56B → the third screen area 56C by rotating the curtain member 56 counterclockwise. The big hit expectation degree is when the switching based on the order of the third screen area 56C → the second screen area 56B → the first screen area 56A by rotating the curtain member 56 clockwise is performed. May be made higher.

  Further, the curtain member 56 is rotated counterclockwise as compared with the case where the switching based on the order of the third screen area 56C → the second screen area 56B → the first screen area 56A is performed by rotating the curtain member 56 clockwise. The big hit expectation degree may be higher when switching from the first screen area 56A to the third screen area 56C by rotation is performed. Further, any one of these switching operations may be executed as a part of a so-called jackpot finalizing effect that is executed when the jackpot expectation is 100%.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the projection of the video from the projector 32 is stopped when the stepping motor 57D is being driven and the screen 5 of the multi-sided screen 5M is being switched. If projection light is projected from the projector 32 during the switching of the screen 5, the projection image from the projector 32 may be projected between the screen areas of the curtain member 56. For example, when the screen 5 is switched from the first screen area 56A to the second screen area 56B, when a projection image is projected from the projector 32, the projector is interposed between the first screen area 56A and the second screen area 56B. The projection image projected from 32 is displayed, and there is a risk that the production will be defective.

  In this regard, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the stepping motor 57D is being driven and the screen 5 is switched on the multi-sided screen 5M, the projection of the image from the projector 32 is stopped. . For this reason, it is possible to suppress the projection of an image at an inappropriate position such as between the first screen region 56A and the second screen region 56B, and it is possible to suppress the malfunction of the effect.

  In the above example, each of the first screen area 56A to the third screen area 56C of the multi-sided screen 5M is a screen composed of a flat display area in which the stereoscopic display area is not formed, but the stereoscopic display area is formed. It may be a screen. In the case of forming the stereoscopic display region, for example, the curtain member 56 may be formed of a flexible material. By forming the curtain member 56 with a flexible material, the three-dimensional portion becomes flat when passing through the rollers 57A to 57C. However, a material that returns to a three-dimensional shape after passing through the rollers 57A to 57C is used. That's fine. Alternatively, a planar material having elasticity may be used as the curtain member 56, and when it becomes the screen 5, a mold may be pressed from the back side of the screen to form a three-dimensional shape.

  Further, the screen member 56 is formed with the three screen areas of the first screen area 56A to the third screen area 56C, but the screen area may be two or four or more. Alternatively, the first screen 91A and the second screen 91B may be overlapped, and a part of the curtain member 56 may be used in the plurality of screens 5. Further, in the above example, the three screens of the first screen 91A to the third screen 91C are provided independently. However, the curtain member 56 of the multi-sided screen 5M is moved in a short span, and the midway positions of these screens are set. It may be used as In this case, for example, part of the first screen 91A and part of the second screen 91B, part of the second screen 91B and part of the third screen 91C, part of the third screen 91C and part of the first screen 91A. An image may be projected from the projector 32 in part.

  In addition, a three-dimensional figure, an accessory, or the like is arranged inside the screen main body 91, and a perforated screen having a hole formed in the center is used instead of one of the three screens 91A, 91B, 91C. It may be provided. The perforated screen is formed with a rectangular hole, the lateral length of the hole is slightly shorter than the width of the screen body 91, and the height of the hole in the height direction is The width is slightly shorter than the width between the roller 92B and the lower roller 92C. You may make it visible visually the figure etc. which were provided in the polyhedral screen through the hole part in this screen. Alternatively, the projection light projected from the projector 32 may be projected through a hole in the perforated screen. It should be noted that the figure accessory disposed inside the multi-sided screen may be a fixed form that does not change, or may be a movable type. In addition, when it is movable, it may be deformed on the spot, for example, it may move forward and move to the front of the perforated screen or the same position as the perforated screen. Good. In addition, an image display device or the like may be provided in place of the three-dimensional figure or the accessory.

  Further, the irradiation of the irradiation light by the sub LED 33 may be suppressed for a while after the power is turned on (turned on) until the projection light from the projector 32 can be projected, for example. Good. Before the projector 32 can project when the power is turned on, the projector 32 needs to be warmed up. During the warming up operation, appropriate projection control from the projector 32 may not be possible. is there. When the irradiation light is emitted from the sub LED 33 in a state where the projection light from the projector 32 cannot be projected, only the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR in the screen 5 are in a bright state, which may cause a sense of incongruity. In this regard, during the preparation time after the power supply is turned on, by suppressing the irradiation light from the sub-LED 33, only the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR out of the screen 5 become bright. Can be reduced. In addition, as an aspect which suppresses irradiation of the irradiation light from sub LED33, irradiation of irradiation light may be stopped or interrupted | blocked, and you may make it make light quantity of irradiation light small.

  Further, a lens may be provided on the optical path of the projection light projected from the projector 32 such as each opening between the projector 32 and the screen 5. By providing a lens on the optical path of the projection light projected from the projector 32, the size of the image projected from the projector 32 can be adjusted. A fish-eye lens may be used as a lens provided on the optical path of the projection light projected from the projector 32. By using a fisheye lens, it is possible to display a large image.

  Further, in irradiating light to the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are made not to stand out from the projection area 5X, but the screen 5 as a whole is not trapezoidal but rectangular. A device that gives an impression to the player may be used. Specifically, the projection region 5X and the non-projection regions 5NL, 5NR are formed of different materials, and the material used in the non-projection regions 5NL, 5NR is blacker than the material used in the projection region 5X. The reflectance may be lowered due to the rough surface. Further, when the projection region 5X and the non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR are integrally formed, the non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR are painted black, or the surface is roughened by performing a surface treatment, so that the reflectance is increased. May be lowered. In addition, when a non-projection area is generated in a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen, as described above, a device that gives the player the impression that the entire screen is rectangular instead of trapezoidal. You may do.

Second Embodiment
Next, a gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a side sectional view thereof. In addition, in the description of the pachinko gaming machine 1A according to the present embodiment, and in the description of still other embodiments and modifications, the same reference numerals are given to the components common to the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, and the detailed description thereof May be omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the pachinko gaming machine 1A according to the present embodiment includes a screen 71 and a screen drive mechanism 72 that are different from the first embodiment. The screen 71 includes an upper plane display area 71A, a stereoscopic display area 71B, and a lower plane display area 71C as display areas. The stereoscopic display area 71B includes a central stereoscopic display area 71BC, a right stereoscopic display area 71BR, and a left stereoscopic display area 71BL. The central stereoscopic display area 71BC, the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, and the left stereoscopic display area 71BL all have a figure shape. The screen 60 is formed by sticking a figure-like three-dimensional object on a flat plate, the position where the three-dimensional object is not attached becomes the flat display area 71A, and the position where the three-dimensional object is attached is the three-dimensional display area. 71B. An upper plane display area 71A and a lower plane display area 71C are formed at upper and lower positions across the stereoscopic display area 71B. The image displayed on the screen 71 is formed in both the flat display area 71A and the stereoscopic display area 71B of the screen 71, and an effect is executed by so-called projection mapping using an image from the projector 32. Like the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the gaming machine 1A is omitted in FIG. 7 and FIG. A screen may be provided.

  In addition, when it is predicted that the rotatable range of the rotatable sub screen and the 3D display area 71B overlap as a result of the rotation of the rotatable sub screen, the position and size of the 3D display area 71 are determined. As a result, the interference between the screen 71 and the rotatable sub-screen is expected, such as when the rotatable range of the rotatable sub-screen is expected to overlap the stereoscopic display area 71B. In order to prevent such interference, the position of the screen 71 and the position of the rotatable sub-screen may be variable.

  The screen 71 can be moved in the vertical direction by a screen drive mechanism 72. When the screen 71 is disposed at the lowermost position (hereinafter referred to as “lowermost position”), an image from the projector 32 is projected onto the upper plane display area 71A and the stereoscopic display area 71B. Further, when the screen 71 is arranged at the uppermost arrangement position (hereinafter referred to as “uppermost position”), the video from the projector 32 is projected onto the stereoscopic display area 71B and the lower plane display area 71C.

  In the plane display areas 71A and 71C on the screen 71 shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, as shown in FIG. 10, an image such as a specific image, a background image, and a character to be described later are mainly displayed. The In the central stereoscopic display area 71BC, the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, and the left stereoscopic display area 71BL, characters corresponding to the respective stereoscopic display areas are mainly displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the main character image MC is displayed in the center stereoscopic display area 71BC, the first sub character image SC1 is displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL, and the second sub character image SC2 is displayed in the right stereoscopic display area 71BR. Is displayed.

  In addition, in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC, the left stereoscopic display area 71BL, and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, the corresponding main character image MC, first sub character image SC1, and second sub character image SC character are displayed, respectively. However, other images may be displayed. For example, the displayed characters may be switched so that the first sub character image SC1 or the second sub character image SC2 is displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC. Further, an image other than a character, for example, a background image may be displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B, or a character image may be displayed in the flat display areas 71A and 71C.

  By projecting an image from the projector 32 onto the stereoscopic display area 71B of the screen 71, as shown in FIG. 9A, an image that appears as a stereoscopic image in conformity with the stereoscopic shape is displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B. . In addition, in the state where the image is not projected on the stereoscopic display area 71B, as shown in FIG. 9B, the stereoscopic shape in the stereoscopic display area 71B is in a state where it is difficult to visually recognize. It is difficult to recognize the shape.

  By providing the stereoscopic display area 71B, the distance between the projector 32 and the screen 71 is not uniform. Specifically, when the projector 32 is disposed on the surface of the screen 71, the stereoscopic display area 71B is closer to the flat display areas 71A and 71C. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the screen 71 is disposed at the lowest position, the focus of the image projected from the projector 32 is a predetermined axis in the image projected from the projector 32, for example, light. A position between a position corresponding to the surface of the stereoscopic display area 71B on the axis (hereinafter referred to as “stereoscopic surface equivalent position”) and a position corresponding to the upper plane display area 71A (hereinafter referred to as “upper plane surface equivalent position”), for example The intermediate position is set.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when the screen 71 is disposed at the uppermost position, the focus of the image projected from the projector 32 is the position and light corresponding to the three-dimensional surface in the image projected from the projector 32. A position between the positions corresponding to the lower plane display area 71C on the axis (hereinafter referred to as “lower plane surface equivalent position”), for example, an intermediate position thereof is set. In this way, by setting the focal point between the position corresponding to the three-dimensional surface and the position corresponding to the planar surface, the distortion of the image can be reduced over the entire surface of the screen 71. Further, instead of setting the focus between the position corresponding to the three-dimensional surface and the position corresponding to the plane surface, the focus may be adjustable, or the focus is set between the position corresponding to the three-dimensional surface and the position corresponding to the plane surface. May be adjustable.

  The focal point of the projected image is a position corresponding to the surface of the stereoscopic display area 71B on a predetermined axis, for example, the optical axis in the image projected from the projector 32 (hereinafter referred to as “stereoscopic surface equivalent position”) and the upper planar display area 71A. Is set to a position between positions corresponding to (hereinafter referred to as “upper plane surface equivalent position”), for example, an intermediate position thereof.

  When the screen 71 is disposed at the lowest position, as shown in FIG. 10, the wide area 71XW and the narrow part 71XN in the projection area 71X are also formed on the screen 71, and the upper plane display Many portions of the region 71A are included in the narrow portion 71XN, and a small portion is included in the wide portion 71XW. The 3D display area 71B is all included in the wide part 71XW. However, the upper plane display area 71 </ b> A and the stereoscopic display area 71 </ b> B may be included in any of the wide part 71 </ b> XW and the narrow part 71 </ b> XN. For example, the wide part 71XW or the narrow part 71XN may include the entire upper plane display area 71A or the entire stereoscopic display area 71B, or may include a part of each. Further, the left and right positions of the narrow portion 71XN become non-projection regions 71NL and 71NR where the image projected from the projector 32 does not reach. When the screen 71 is disposed at the uppermost position, as shown in FIG. 11B, the positions on the side of the central stereoscopic display area 71BC and above the left and right stereoscopic display areas 71BL and 71BR are as follows. , The non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR that the image projected from the projector 32 does not reach.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the hold display areas 5H1, 5H2, the hold number display area 5F, and the current display area 5K are all displayed in the flat display area 71A. . Therefore, the decorative symbols displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the hold display displayed in the hold display areas 5H1, 5H2, the hold number display displayed in the hold number display area 5F, and the current display area 5K. In this case, the current display is displayed in a flat planar display area 71A.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the screen drive mechanism 72 includes a plate-like support member 72A, and a rack member 72B is provided at the lower end of the support member 72A. Further, the rack member 72B is engaged with a pinion gear 72C, and the rack member 72B and the pinion gear 72C constitute a rack and pinion mechanism.

  The pinion gear 72C is connected to a stepping motor (not shown). By driving this stepping motor, the pinion gear 72C rotates. As the pinion gear 72C rotates, the rack member 72B, the support member 72A provided with the rack member 72B, and the screen 71 supported by the support member 72A move up and down. By driving the stepping motor, the screen 71 slides and the position of the screen 71 is switched between the lowermost position and the uppermost position.

  In addition, an accommodation portion that accommodates a lower portion of the screen 71 when the screen 71 is disposed at the lowest position is formed at a lower position of the game frame 3A. Further, a left first sub LED 33AL and a left second sub LED 33BL are provided at the left position in the lower front side inside the game frame 3A. Similarly, a right first sub LED 33AR and a right second sub LED 33BL are provided at the right position in the lower front side inside the game frame 3A.

  The first sub LEDs 33AL and 33AR irradiate the non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR with the irradiation light when the screen 71 is disposed at the lowest position. The second sub LEDs 33BL and 33BR irradiate the non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR with the irradiation light when the screen 71 is disposed at the uppermost position.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1A according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, similarly to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR are irradiated from the sub LEDs 33L and 33R. Is shown. As described above, by irradiating the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the irradiation light of the sub LEDs 33L and 33R, it is possible to appropriately perform the performance although there is an area where the projector 32 cannot project an image.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1A, the screen 71 can be moved up and down by the screen drive mechanism 72 and can be arranged at either the lowermost position or the uppermost position. When the screen 71 is disposed at the lowermost position, the stereoscopic display area 71B is disposed below the planar display area 71A. When the screen 71 is disposed at the lowermost position, the lower plane is disposed below the stereoscopic display area 71B. A display area 71C is formed. For this reason, since the different screens 71 can be formed according to the arrangement position of the screen 71, the monotonousness of the image displayed on the screen 71 can be suppressed, and it can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  Further, when the stepping motor is being driven and the screen 71 is moving up and down, the projection of the image from the projector 32 may be stopped or executed. When the screen 71 is moving up and down, the projection of the image from the projector 32 is stopped, for example, between the upper plane display area 71A and the stereoscopic display area 71B, or between the stereoscopic display area 71B and the lower plane display area 71C. Projection of an image to an inappropriate position, such as between, can be suppressed, and production problems can be suppressed. In addition, when the screen 71 is moving up and down, by projecting an image from the projector 32, it is possible to execute a specific effect while the screen 71 is switched, which contributes to improvement of interest. Can do.

  In addition, when an image is projected on the stereoscopic display area 71B on the screen 71, an effect by displaying a stereoscopic image formed by combining the stereoscopic shape in the stereoscopic display area 71B and the projected image is executed. By performing such an effect by displaying a stereoscopic image, it is possible to execute an effect that is more interesting than an effect using a planar image. In particular, since the screen is three-dimensional, the three-dimensional shape can be expressed more realistically than when a so-called 3D display is performed on a flat screen, so it is more interesting than the production using a flat image. Production can be performed.

  Furthermore, in the flat display areas 71A and 71C, decorative symbols are displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the reserved display is displayed in the reserved display areas 5H1 and 5H2, and the reserved number display is displayed in the reserved number display area 5F. The current display is displayed at 5K. These decorative symbols, hold display, hold number display, and current display image (hereinafter referred to as “specific information image”) include information that is required to be surely transmitted to the player as the game progresses. By displaying such a specific information image in the flat planar display areas 71A and 71C, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying information included in the specific information image. Such a specific information image may be displayed on a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen.

  The specific information image may include an image of information other than the above image. For example, a volume adjustment display image for guiding volume adjustment, a light amount adjustment display image for guiding light amount adjustment, and a small symbol image with small decorative symbols may be included. The specific information image is displayed as being entirely included in the image projected from the projector 32 in the projection area 71X in the planar display areas 71A and 71C. Instead of such an image display mode, the specific information image may be displayed in the non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR outside the projection area 71X in the flat display area 71A. However, since it is difficult to display an image with the sub LED 33.34, in this case, an image is displayed on the non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR by a display device such as a projector other than the projector 32 or a liquid crystal display device. Is preferable.

  Further, the specific information image is not displayed entirely in the flat display areas 71A and 71C, but, for example, a part of the specific information image is displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B, or all is displayed in the stereoscopic display area. Also good. In particular, since the decorative symbols are displayed in large characters, some or all of them may be displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B. In addition, a flat display area is also used for a complete display request image that is less involved in the progress of the game but has a problem caused by disordered image display, for example, a complete display request image that requires complete display of a celebrity portrait or character. The images may be displayed on 71A and 71C and not displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B. The specific image includes a specific information image and a complete display request image. In addition, various effects are executed in the flat display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B, but these effects may be executed only in the flat display area 5A or only in the stereoscopic display area 5B. Good. The flat display area 5A is formed above the screen 5 and the stereoscopic display area 5B is formed below the screen 5, but may be formed at other positions. For example, the flat display area 5A may be disposed below and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be disposed above, the flat display area 5A may be disposed on the right side or the left side, and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be disposed on the opposite left or right side. It may be. Alternatively, the 3D display area 5B may be formed so that the flat display area 5A is formed at the center and surrounds the flat display area 5A, or the 3D display area 5B is formed at the center and surrounds the 3D display area 5B. Thus, the flat display area 5A may be formed.

As shown in FIG. 14, the pachinko gaming machine 1B according to the present embodiment is formed with a right-handed guiding path 4E that guides a game ball when the player hits the right. “Right-handed” generally means that the game ball is fired so that the game ball flows down the game area through a route formed on the right side of the game board 2. The right strike guide path 4E is formed by, for example, the upper surface of the upper end portion 4D of the center frame 4C that is fixedly provided at the center of the game board 2. The right-handed game ball is guided toward the normal variable winning ball device 6B in an expanded and open state and the special variable winning ball device 7 in an open state by a nail or the like (not shown). Also, a right-handed game ball with a nail structure (not shown) is easy to win in the normally open winning ball device 6B in the expanded and open state and the special variable winning ball device 7 in the open state, but in the normal winning ball device 6A. It is difficult to win a prize. Note that, like the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1B is omitted in FIGS. 12, 13 and 14, but a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen. A screen may be provided.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1B, the logo accessory 26 and the reflection mirror 28 shown in FIG. 1 are not provided. Further, the projector 32 is not disposed on the back side of the game board 2 and is attached to the front end position of the upwardly projecting portion 3D as shown in FIG. An opening 3E through which the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 can pass is formed on the lower surface of the upward projecting portion 3D.

Further, a door frame 50 shown in FIG. 14 different from the door frame 3B shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the game frame 3A. In the present embodiment, the logo accessory 26 and the reflection mirror 28 shown in FIG. 1 are not provided. Further, the projector 32 is not disposed on the back side of the game board 2 and is attached to the front end position of the upwardly projecting portion 3D as shown in FIG. An opening 3E through which the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 can pass is formed on the lower surface of the upward projecting portion 3D.

  The upward projecting portion 3D is formed integrally with the game frame 3A and projects to the front of the door frame 50. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the rotating shaft member 3X provided in the game frame 3A reaches the upward projecting portion 3D. The door frame 50 is formed separately from the upwardly projecting portion 3D, and is rotatable around the rotation shaft member 3X with respect to the game frame 3A and the upwardly projecting portion 3D.

  The door frame 50 includes a frame body 51 having a vertically long rectangular shape. The frame 51 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction is along the vertical direction. A top plate 52 is attached to the upper side of the frame 51. At the center position of the top plate 52, a top plate opening 52A through which the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 can pass is formed.

  An inclined frame 53 is attached to the front end side of the top plate 52 and the lower end side of the frame body 51. The frame 51 and the inclined frame 53 are integrated at the lower end side. An inner transparent plate 54 is attached to the frame 51, and an outer transparent plate 55 is attached to the inclined frame 53. The inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55 are both transparent, and the player located in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1B can visually recognize the game board 2 through the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55. . These inner transparent plate 54 and outer transparent plate 55 are provided in place of the glass plates in the first embodiment.

  A central opening 54 </ b> A is formed in the upper half position of the inner transparent plate 54. The central opening 54A has a rectangular shape whose upper portion is slightly larger than the surface shape of the screen 5, and the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 can pass therethrough. The shape of the central opening 54A is not limited to this shape, and may be another shape such as a circle or an ellipse.

  The inner transparent plate 54 is disposed along the surface of the game board 2, and the distance from the surface of the game board 2 is longer than the diameter of the game ball and shorter than twice the diameter of the game ball. By setting the distance between the inner transparent plate 54 and the game board 2 within this range, the inner transparent plate 54 prevents the game ball from jumping out of the game area. The position corresponding to the central opening 54A of the inner transparent plate 54 in the game board 2 has a structure in which the screen 5 is arranged and the entry of the game ball is suppressed. This structure prevents the game ball from jumping out from the central opening 54A in the inner transparent plate 54.

  The outer transparent plate 55 is attached so as to cover the entire front surface of the inner transparent plate 54. For this reason, the projector 32 is placed between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55. By providing the outer transparent plate 55, the player is prevented from touching the inner transparent plate 54, the game board 2, or the projector 32 provided on the upward projecting portion 3D. Further, a situation in which an image is interrupted by a player or the like interposing a foreign object such as a hand between the projector 32 and the screen 5 is suppressed.

  The inner transparent plate 54 is made of, for example, acrylic, and the outer transparent plate 55 is made of, for example, glass. Since the inner transparent plate 54 is made of acrylic, processing is easy, and the central opening 54A can be easily formed. Moreover, durability can be made high because the outer side transparent plate 55 is glass. However, the inner transparent plate 54 may be made of glass, and the outer transparent plate 55 may be made of acrylic. Further, the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55 may be formed of other materials having transparency.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a game ball discharge hole 54 </ b> B is formed in a central portion at a position below the inner transparent plate 54. The game ball discharge hole 54 </ b> B communicates with the game machine frame 3 on the back side, and the game ball that has entered between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55 can be discharged toward the game machine frame 3. is there. The frame 51 to which the inner transparent plate 54 is attached and the inclined frame 53 to which the outer transparent plate 55 is attached are removable. For this reason, the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55 can be separated by removing the frame 51 and the inclined frame 53. The game ball discharge hole 54B is disposed on the back side of the upper dish unit. With the upper plate unit, the game ball discharge hole 54B is hidden so that the game ball discharge hole 54B cannot be seen from the front outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1B. The game ball discharge hole may be disposed above the upper plate unit and may be formed at a height position where the player can visually recognize the game ball discharge hole. In this case, the game ball discharged from the game ball discharge hole 54B may be discharged to the gaming machine frame 3 or may be discharged to the game area. Further, instead of the game ball discharge hole 54B, it may be discharged to, for example, an upper plate or lower plate (not shown) on the front side of the door frame 50. In addition, in a gaming machine that is not provided with an upper plate unit, the game ball discharge hole is a decorative plate for hiding the back side, an upper plate or a lower plate, or a handle that is operated by a player when launching a game ball. You may form in the position concealed by the accessory etc. and the plate in which these accessories are provided.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1B, there is a portion wider than the diameter of the game ball between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55. For this reason, when a game ball is mixed in between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55, there is a problem that the game ball remains between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55. obtain.

  In this respect, the game ball discharge hole 54B is formed, so that the game ball mixed between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55 can be discharged toward the game machine frame 3 on the back side. . The frame 51 to which the inner transparent plate 54 is attached and the inclined frame 53 to which the outer transparent plate 55 is attached are removable. For this reason, for example, even when the game ball mixed between the inner transparent plate 54 and the outer transparent plate 55 is not discharged from the game ball discharge hole 54B, the game ball can be easily removed by removing the frame body 51 and the inclined frame 53. Can be taken out.

  Further, as in the second embodiment, the game board 2 is formed with a right-hand guide path 4E that guides the game ball when the player hits the right. Further, the projector 32 is arranged such that the optical path of the image projected from the projector 32 passes below the right-handed guiding path 4E in plan view.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1B according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, similarly to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the irradiation light emitted from the sub-LED is projected on the non-projection area. . For example, the irradiation light emitted from the sub LED 33 is shown on the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR. As described above, by irradiating the non-projection area with the irradiation light of the sub LED, it is possible to suitably perform the performance although there is an area where the projector cannot project an image.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1B includes a multi-sided screen 5M, and any of the plurality of screen areas 56A to 56C in the multi-sided screen 5M is used as the screen 5. For this reason, the monotony of the image displayed on the screen 5 can be suppressed, and it can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  Further, when the stepping motor 57D is being driven and the screen 5 is switched on the multi-surface screen 5M, the projection of the image from the projector 32 is stopped. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the projection of an image at an inappropriate position such as between the first screen region 56A and the second screen region 56B, and it is possible to suppress the malfunction of the effect.

  In addition, the right-handed guiding path 4E is formed at a position that does not block the image projected by the projector 32, thereby suppressing a situation such as a shadow of a game ball passing through the right-handed guiding path 4E being projected on the screen 5. can do. Therefore, since the image projected from the projector 32 is reliably displayed on the screen 5, the effect using the projector 32 can be surely exhibited.

  When the right-handed guiding path 4E is formed, the optical path of the image projected from the projector 32 and the right-handed guiding path 4E overlap when viewed in plan. In this regard, when the optical path of the image projected from the projector 32 is viewed in plan, the projector 32 is disposed at a position passing below the right-handed guiding path 4E, so that the image projected from the projector 32 is right-handed. It can be prevented from overlapping the guide path 4E.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1B according to the present embodiment, unlike the above-described embodiment, the projector 32 is arranged in a direction in which the projected projection light LP reaches the screen 5 directly. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a reflection mirror for reflecting the projection light LP projected from the projector 32, which can contribute to a reduction in the number of components. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1B, the projector 32 is provided in the upward projecting portion 3D that protrudes forward above the gaming frame 3A. For this reason, the distance between the projector 32 and the screen 5 can be ensured, and the image projected on the screen 5 can be made sufficiently large.

  In disposing the projector 32, the present embodiment includes an upward projecting portion 3D that protrudes forward above the game frame 3A. On the other hand, a projecting portion protruding forward may be formed on the side or lower side of the game frame 3A, and the projector 32 may be disposed on the projecting portion. The same applies to the case where a projector used for a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen is separately provided.

  Further, the projector 32 is provided in the upward projecting portion 3D provided in the game frame 3A, and the screen 5 is provided in the gaming machine frame 3 to which the game frame 3A is fixed. For this reason, for example, even if the door frame 50 is opened or the pachinko gaming machine 1B is transported, the relative positional relationship between the projector 32 and the screen 5 can be kept unchanged. Therefore, the image projected from the projector 32 can be accurately projected on the screen 5. In the present embodiment, the projector 32 is provided in the upward projecting portion 3D attached to the game frame 3A. However, for example, an upper projecting portion is provided in the door frame 50, and the projector 32 is provided in the upper projecting portion. You may make it provide. The same applies to the case where a projector used for a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen is separately provided.

  Further, the upper projecting portion 3D, the top plate 52, and the inner transparent plate 54 have an opening portion 3E, a top plate opening portion 52A, and a central opening portion 54A through which the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 can pass. Are formed respectively. For this reason, the image projected from the projector 32 can be reliably displayed on the screen 5. Note that the opening 3E, the top plate opening 52A, and the central opening 54A are all formed as spaces, but a transparent plate or the like may be provided in these openings. By providing a transparent plate, it is possible to prevent foreign matters from entering through the opening and dropping off of members. Moreover, you may provide a lens in these opening parts. By providing a lens in the opening, the size of the image projected from the projector 32 can be adjusted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the projector 32 is disposed behind the screen 5, and the image projected from the projector 32 is reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and projected onto the screen 5. On the other hand, the projector 32 may be disposed in front of the screen 5 so that the image projected by the projector 32 is directly projected on the screen 5. In this case, for example, the projector 32 may be arranged at an appropriate position such as the inside of the logo accessory 26. The same applies to the case where a projector used for a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen is separately provided.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, a pachinko gaming machine according to the fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 15 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine 1 </ b> C according to the present embodiment is provided with a sub-image display device 70 on the side of the screen 5 and at a substantially center position on the right side of the game area in the game board 2. It has been. Further, as in the second embodiment, a screen 71 including a flat display area 71A and a stereoscopic display area 71B is provided. The sub image display device 70 is configured by a liquid crystal display device, for example. Unlike the screen 71, the sub-image display device 70 has a flat image display area for displaying images. Note that, in the pachinko gaming machine 1C according to the fourth embodiment, similar to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the description is omitted in FIG. 15, but a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen is provided. May be provided.

  Note that the installation location of the sub image display device 70 is not limited to the approximate center position in the right-side height direction of the game area on the game board 2, and may be another position. For example, the sub image display device 70 may be installed at an arbitrary position in the pachinko gaming machine 1 such as outside the gaming area or at the front upper part, the front lower part, and the front side of the gaming machine frame 3. Further, although the sub image display device 70 is fixedly attached, it may be movable back and forth, up, down, left and right by a driving mechanism (not shown). Further, it may be arranged at a position overlapping the surface of the screen 71. Furthermore, it may be arranged at a position overlapping the surface of a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1C according to the present embodiment, a part of the specific information image is displayed on the sub-image display device 70. Specifically, a hold display, a hold number display, and a current display image are displayed. However, other specific information images on the sub-image display device 70, for example, a volume adjustment display image for guiding decoration design and volume adjustment, a light amount adjustment display image for guiding light amount adjustment, and a small display in which a decoration design is displayed in a small size The image may be displayed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1C according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, similarly to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the irradiation light emitted from the sub LED is projected on the non-projection area. . For example, the irradiation light emitted from the sub LED 33 is shown on the non-projection areas 71NL and 71NR. As described above, by irradiating the non-projection area with the irradiation light of the sub LED, it is possible to suitably perform the performance although there is an area where the projector cannot project an image.

  When the screen 71 is disposed at the lowermost position, the stereoscopic display area 71B is disposed below the flat display area 71A. When the screen 71 is disposed at the lowermost position, the stereoscopic display area 71B is disposed below the stereoscopic display area 71B. A lower plane display area 71C is formed. For this reason, since the different screens 71 can be formed according to the arrangement position of the screen 71, the monotonousness of the image displayed on the screen 71 can be suppressed, and it can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1C according to the present embodiment includes a sub-image display device 70 in which a flat display area is formed. For this reason, it is possible to increase the area of the flat display area in which the player can easily recognize the image information. Therefore, many specific information images can be displayed in a state that the player can easily recognize. In addition, since the sub-image display device 70 is movable, it is possible to display a specific image such as a specific information image or a complete display request image in an easy-to-see manner and to perform various effects.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 16 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 17 is a side sectional view of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, in the pachinko gaming machine 1D according to the present embodiment, the sub LED 33 is arranged on the back side of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR on the screen 5, and the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR on the screen 5 are arranged. Is made of a light transmissive material. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the screen 5 is fixedly attached to the back surface side. Note that, in the pachinko gaming machine 1D according to the fifth embodiment, as in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the description is omitted in FIG. 16 and FIG. A sub screen may be provided.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1D according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the sub LED 33 is provided on the back side of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, and the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR transmit light to the non-projection area 5NL and 5NR. The images of the projection areas 5NL and 5NR are complemented. As described above, by complementing the images of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the transmitted light of the sub LED 33, it is possible to suitably perform the effect although there is an area where the projector 32 cannot project the image. When a non-projection area is generated on a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen, there is an area where an image cannot be projected by providing a sub-LED on the back side of the non-projection area as in the pachinko gaming machine 1D. You may enable it to perform an effect suitably.

  In the above example, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are made of a light transmissive material. However, in order to form the screen 5 integrally including the projection area 5X and the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, the screen 5 The projection region 5X in FIG. 5 is also made of a light transmissive material. In this case, a material having high light reflectivity may be disposed on the back side of the projection region 5X. By disposing a highly light-reflective material on the back side of the projection region 5X, the projection region 5X itself is light transmissive, but the projector 32 uses a highly light-reflective material disposed on the back side of the projection region 5X. Since the projected projection light LP is reflected, the image projected from the projector 32 can be suitably displayed.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1D, the sub LED 33 is fixedly attached to the back side of the screen 5. For this reason, light can be supplied to the non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR even when the screen 5 is disposed at any position of the lowermost position and the uppermost position. Therefore, it can suppress that the installation number of LED becomes excessive.

  In addition, when the sub-LEDs 33 on the back side of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are arranged to project light, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are not conspicuous than the projection area 5X, but the entire screen 5 is not trapezoidal. You may make the device which gives a player the impression as if it is a rectangle. Specifically, a shielding material may be disposed so as to surround the side of the sub LED 33, and leakage of light irradiated from the sub LED 33 from the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR to the projection area 5X may be suppressed. By suppressing leakage of light emitted from the sub LED 33 from the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR to the projection area 5X, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are brightened so that the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are more than the projection area 5X. The image from the projector 32 projected on the screen 5 can be clearly displayed while giving the player the impression that the entire screen 5 is not trapezoidal but rectangular instead of being conspicuous. However, when the light emitted from the sub LED 33 is concentrated and the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR become too bright, the amount of light emitted from the sub LED 33 may be reduced. Further, instead of arranging the shielding material so as to surround the side of the sub-LED 33, the sub-LED 33 is accommodated in a case having an opening surface on one side, and the opening surface is covered with the non-projection regions 5NL and 5NR. May be. Also in this case, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are brightened so that the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are less conspicuous than the projection area 5X so that the screen 5 as a whole is not trapezoidal but rectangular. While being given to the player, the image from the projector 32 projected onto the screen 5 can be clearly displayed.

  Alternatively, the light in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR may be made inconspicuous. Specifically, the thickness of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR in the screen 5 may be made thicker than the thickness of the projection area 5X. Or you may make it the light quantity which sub LED33 emits become small. In particular, when the amount of projection light projected from the projector 32 is small, the amount of light emitted by the sub LED 33 may be small.

Hereinafter, modifications of the present invention will be described. In the following modification, the example described in the screen 5 in which the stereoscopic display area is not provided may be performed on the screen 71 in which the stereoscopic display area is provided. Alternatively, the example described in the screen 71 provided with the stereoscopic display area may be performed on the screen 5 where the stereoscopic display area is not provided.
<Modification 1>
The video projected from the projector 32 or the sub LEDs 33A and 33B may include the virtual light source α on the screen 71 as shown in FIG. In this case, the virtual light source α serves as the light source, and in the other part of the screen 71, in the example shown in FIG. 18, the shadow of the central stereoscopic display region 71BC is located at a position opposite to the virtual light source α across the central stereoscopic display region 71BC. β may occur. You may control so that a specific information image and a complete display request image may not be displayed in the area | region where such shadow (beta) generate | occur | produces. By preventing the specific information image from being displayed in the area where the shadow β occurs, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the information by the specific information image is not easily transmitted to the player. Further, by not displaying the complete display request image in the region where the shadow β occurs, incomplete display of the complete display request image can be suppressed.

  The generation of the virtual light source α and the shadow β can be assumed in advance based on the content of the image projected from the projector 32 and the sub LEDs 33A and 33B and the shape of the screen 71. For this reason, it is possible to execute control that does not display the specific information image or the complete display request image for the image projected from the projector 32 or the sub LED 33.

<Modification 2>
As shown in FIG. 19, the screen on which the image projected from the projector 32 is displayed includes not only the front screen 5 but also a plurality of display surfaces including a side display area and a bottom display area. The screen 60 may be used. The outline of the screen 60 will be described. The screen 60 includes a back surface display area 61, a right side display area 62, a left side display area 63, and a bottom display area 64.

As for the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, and the bottom face display area 64, only a flat display area is formed. However, a 3D display area may be provided in part or all of the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, and the bottom display area 64.

  In the screen 60 having such a multi-surface display area, it is preferable to display the specific information image and the complete display request image in the flat display area. In the example shown in FIG. 19, as specific information images, decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, reserved display areas 5H1, 5H2, reserved number display area 5F, current display area 5K, and small symbol display area 5S are displayed. , Hold display, hold number display, current display, and small design images are displayed. Further, when a plurality of specific information images are displayed simultaneously, the plurality of specific information images may be displayed in different display areas. For example, in the same manner as in FIG. 1, when displaying an image of decorative design, hold display, hold count display, and current display, the decorative design is displayed on the flat display area 61 </ b> A in the back face display area 61 to display hold display and hold count. In addition, the currently displayed image may be displayed in the bottom display area 64. Since the flat display area 61A and the bottom display area 64 in the back surface display area 61 are both flat, the specific information image can be displayed in an easily viewable manner.

  Further, when displaying other specific information images, for example, when displaying each image such as a small design, volume adjustment display, light amount adjustment display, right-handed display, etc. as the specific information image, the small design, volume adjustment display, Each image such as right-handed display may be displayed in the flat display area. Furthermore, the images displayed in the flat display area 61A, the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, and the bottom display area 64 in the back surface display area 61 may be changed. For example, a decorative design image may be displayed in the flat display area 61 </ b> A in the back surface display area 61, and the reserved number and the reserved image may be displayed in the bottom display area 64. By such an aspect, the area | region which displays a specific information image easily can be enlarged. The complete display request image may also be displayed in any of the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, and the bottom display area 64.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, a wide portion and a narrow portion of the projection region are formed in the back surface display region 61, and a non-projection region is formed on the side of the narrow portion. Further, in the right side display area 62 and the left side display area 63, a projection area and a non-projection area are formed. The non-projection area in the back surface display area 61 can be irradiated with irradiation light from a sub LED (not shown) provided inside the game frame, so that the non-projection area can emit light. Similarly, the non-projection areas in the right side display area 62 and the left side display area 63 can also be irradiated with irradiation light from a sub LED (not shown) provided inside the game frame, so that the non-projection areas can be emitted. . Further, the non-projection area of the back surface display area 61 may be formed of a light transmissive material, and a sub LED or the like may be disposed on the back side of the non-projection area to cause the non-projection area to emit light. Similarly, the non-projection areas of the right side display area 62 and the left side display area 63 may be formed of a light transmissive material, and a sub LED or the like may be arranged on the back side of the non-projection area to emit light in the non-projection area.

<Modification 3>
As in the second modification, common information may be displayed as different specific information images on the screen 60 provided with a plurality of display surfaces. For example, when displaying a right-handed display image as the specific information image, a right-handed display image may be displayed in the back surface display area 61, the right side display area 62, and the left side display area 63. Such display can assist the player in viewing the specific information even when the angle at which the player views the screen 60 changes.

  Moreover, when displaying specific information images on a plurality of display surfaces, different specific information images may be displayed on different display surfaces. For example, as an example of displaying common information as different specific information images, it is possible to display character information described as “right-handed” when displaying a right-handed image, or an image of an arrow pointing rightward Can also be displayed. In this case, a specific information image composed of an image of character information described as “right-handed” is displayed in the back surface display area 61, and images of arrows pointing in the right direction are displayed in the right side display area 62 and the left side display area 63. It may be displayed. Thus, by displaying certain specific information with different specific information images, it is possible to provide target specific information in a multifaceted manner and alert the player.

<Modification 4>

Yes. Here, a frame-like accessory is attached along the inner edge of the screen attachment hole 2A, and a back surface display area 61, a right side display area 62, a left side display area 63, and a bottom face display area are included in the frame-like accessory. 64 may be provided.

  By providing the back surface display area 61, the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, and the bottom display area 64 in the frame-shaped accessory, the back surface display area 61 is located behind the frame. It is possible to give the player the impression embedded in the game, and to improve the interest. Further, since the frame-shaped accessory is formed, the screen 60 can be clearly separated from other backgrounds.

  In this modified example, the screen 60 is provided in the frame-shaped accessory. However, the screen is displayed in the image imitating the frame-shaped accessory and the image imitating the frame-shaped accessory in the back surface display area 61. An image imitating 60 may be displayed. By performing such a display, it is possible to give an illusion that the image visually recognized by the player is either a real object or an image-displayed object, which contributes to improvement of interest. be able to.

<Modification 5>
When displaying an image on a screen such as the screen 5 or a sub-screen such as a rotatable sub-screen, a so-called blurred image, which is an out-of-focus image, is superimposed and displayed, and a part of the image is sucked Such display may be performed.

  For example, when displaying an image on the screen 5, a so-called blurred image that is an out-of-focus image may be superimposed and displayed so that a part of the image is sucked. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the central stereoscopic display area 71BC displays an image by projecting a focused image, and the surrounding display areas, specifically, the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, the left stereoscopic display area, and so on. An unfocused blurred image may be displayed in the display area 71BL and the flat display area 71A.

  By displaying such a blurred image, the main character image MC displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC is displayed on the surrounding images, for example, the sub-character images displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, respectively. Display may be performed such that the background images displayed in SC1, SC2 (see FIG. 1) and the plane display area 71A are sucked. By performing such display, it is possible to diversify the image expression and contribute to the improvement of interest. In addition, since the display area on which the focused image is projected is the central stereoscopic display area 71BC, the specification is suitable for performing an effect centered on the main character image MC displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC. can do.

  Further, after performing display such that a part of the image is sucked in as described above, the image display may be changed so that the entire image displayed on the screen 71 or the image background changes. By changing the image display after performing display such that a part of the image is sucked, the player can clearly recognize that the change in the image display has been performed. The scenes where the image display is changed include development effects in so-called reach effects, effects such as mode change effects in effects during the normal game state other than the jackpot gaming state, and scene change effects during the jackpot gaming state. List the scenes that take place.

<Modification 6>
When displaying an image on the screen 71, the black portion extending in the vertical direction from the flat display area 71A to the stereoscopic display area 71B on the screen 71 is displayed, so that the image displayed on the screen 71 is opened from the center. An image may be displayed. By displaying the image displayed on the screen 71 from the center, the display of the image can be diversified, which can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  Also, the black character is displayed in the central portion of the screen 71, and the main character image MC displays the image in which the hand of the main character image MC displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC pushes the black portion, so that the main character image MC displays the entire image. An open image may be displayed. By performing such an effect of displaying an image, it is possible to suitably perform an effect centered on the main character image MC.

  Furthermore, the image display displayed on the screen 5 may be changed after the image that opens the screen as described above is displayed. By changing the image display after displaying an image that opens the screen, the player can clearly recognize that the image display has been changed.

<Modification 7>
When displaying an image on a screen such as the screen 5 or a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen, a crack image (crack image) is displayed on the entire image displayed on the screen so that the image is destroyed. Various images may be displayed. By displaying an image that destroys such an image, it is possible to diversify the image display and contribute to the enhancement of interest.

  For example, when an image is displayed on the screen 5, a crack image (crack image) may be displayed on the entire image displayed on the screen 5, and an image that destroys the image may be displayed. By displaying an image that destroys such an image, it is possible to diversify the image display and contribute to the enhancement of interest. For example, an image in which an iron ball collides with the center portion of the screen 5 may be displayed, and an image in which a crack is generated around the iron ball image may be displayed.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 22, a black crack image CC is randomly displayed in the flat display area 71A and the stereoscopic display area 71B on the screen 71, and the entire image is cut out from the crack image CC. An image may be displayed. At this time, among the character images displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B, there are character images that are torn and character images that are not torn, and an effect using the character image that has not been torn may be executed. For example, when the sub character images SC1 and SC2 displayed in the left and right stereoscopic display areas 71BL and 71BR are torn by a crack and the main character image MC displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC is not torn by a crack, An effect using the main character image MC may be executed. When the main character image MC displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC is torn by a crack and the sub character images SC1 and SC2 respectively displayed in the left and right stereoscopic display areas 71BL and 71BR are not torn by the crack, An effect using the sub character images SC1 and SC2 may be executed.

<Modification 8>
When displaying an image on a screen such as the screen 5 or a sub screen such as a rotatable sub screen, whether or not the screen has moved (retracted) to the back by projecting a reduced image of the entire screen. Such effects may be executed. By displaying such an image, it is possible to execute various effects as if the screen has moved without actually moving the screen, which can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  For example, when displaying an image on the screen 5, an effect as if the screen 5 moved (retracted) to the back may be executed by projecting an image obtained by reducing the entire screen 5. By displaying such an image, it is possible to execute various effects as if the screen 5 has moved without actually moving the screen 5, which can contribute to the improvement of interest.

  For example, if the screen 5 is actually retracted, the image displayed on the screen 5 becomes large, so that it is difficult for the player to feel that the screen 5 has retracted. However, by displaying the image in a small size, it is possible to perform an effect such that the screen 5 is retracted without actually retracting the screen 5.

  Further, by projecting an image in which the entire screen 5 is enlarged, an effect as if the screen 5 has moved (moved forward) from the back may be executed. By performing such an effect, it is possible to execute various effects as if the screen 5 has moved without actually moving the screen 5, which can contribute to an improvement in interest.

<Modification 9>
In displaying an image on the screen 71, voice is associated with each of the character images MC, SC1, and SC2 displayed in the plurality of stereoscopic display areas 71BC, 71BL, and 71BR, respectively, and the character images MC, SC1, and SC2 are the effects. When displayed (highlighted), a corresponding voice may be emitted. For example, when the main character image MC sings a song, the main character image MC may be displayed as an effect, and the sub-character images SC1 and SC2 may be displayed as a non-effect. Such effect display and sound generation can contribute to improvement of interest.

  The effect display can be performed in various ways. For example, while the non-effect display does not emit light (turns off), the effect display may be made to emit light, or display with a larger light amount than the non-effect display, or so-called spotlight display. Can go. Also, non-effect display and display with different colors can be performed.

<Modification 10>
In this modification, a movable accessory 80 is provided in front of the screen 71 as shown in FIG. Moreover, in this modification, the 1st effect mode and the 2nd effect mode are set as effect mode, and it may transfer to the 2nd effect mode from the 1st effect mode, and it changed to the 2nd effect mode. Then, after the predetermined number of special figure games are over, the first effect mode is resumed. Further, the movable accessory 80 is stored in a storage area (not shown) provided in front of the screen 71 and the storage state shown in FIG. 23A, and FIG. C) and the exposed state. During the first presentation mode, the movable accessory 80 is mainly stored, and during the second presentation mode, the movable accessory 80 is mainly exposed.

  The transition from the first performance mode to the second performance mode is performed by operating the push button 31B during the special figure game in which the transition possible condition is satisfied. The player can shift the effect mode from the first effect mode to the second effect mode by operating the push button 31B during the special game in which the transferable condition is established. Hereinafter, the flow of transition from the first effect mode to the second effect mode in the present modification will be described. FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram using a front view of a screen for explaining the present modification.

  For example, when the transition enabling condition is satisfied when the special game is being executed in the first effect mode, the operation request image HA is displayed on the screen 71 as shown in FIG. The transferable condition is satisfied when the special figure game is started and when the invalid condition is not satisfied when the special figure game is started. The operation request image HA is composed of an image imitating the push button 31B and a downward-facing arrow disposed above the image. By displaying the operation request image HA on the screen 71, it is possible to request the player to operate the push button 31B.

The invalid condition is, for example, satisfying at least one of the following conditions.
(1) In the special figure game, an effect requesting the operation of the push button 31B is performed. (2) The variable display result in the special figure game is “big hit”. (3) The effect is provided by operating the push button 31B. A state in which a predetermined selection action other than mode selection is possible (4) A presentation mode switching operation has been performed in the previous special figure game (5) While a predetermined number of special figure games are executed The remaining number of special figure games is 0 or 1 in a state where the rate of transition to the big hit game state is high (during so-called ST) (6) Continuous production from the previous special figure game (so-called continuous (7) A special game is given before the start of the variable display subject to the advance notice. The effect that is performed based on the suspension information etc. (so-called look-ahead effect) is performed

  By setting the invalid condition, it is possible to suppress the exchange of the production modes when the timing becomes inappropriate when the production modes are exchanged. Specifically, since (1) and (3) are set as invalid conditions, misperception of the operation of the push button 31B can be suppressed. In addition, by setting (2) as the invalid condition, mode selection in the case of shifting to the big hit gaming state after the special figure game can be suppressed. By setting (4) as the invalid condition, it is possible to suppress the change of the production mode when the moving time of the movable accessory 80 cannot be secured. Explaining this point, a predetermined movement time is required until the movable accessory 80 shifts from the housed state to the exposed state. The predetermined movement time is secured in a special game in which the effect mode is switched. However, in consideration of the time required for the effect mode to be switched, sufficient time for displaying the operation request image HA may not be secured. Concerned. For this reason, the condition (4) is set.

  By setting (5) as the invalid condition, it is possible to prevent the production when the special production is performed. This point will be further described. When the remaining number of special figure games during ST is 0 or 1, the ratio of execution of a special effect that raises the expectation of a big hit is increased. Such a special effect can be prevented from being hindered by the operation of changing the effect mode. By setting (6) and (7) as invalid conditions, it is possible to prevent the effects executed across a plurality of special figure games from being hindered by the operation for switching the effect modes.

  When the player operates the push button 31B in response to an operation request based on the display of the operation request image HA during execution of the special figure game in which the transferable condition is satisfied, when the next special figure game is started, FIG. As shown in (B), the movable accessory 80 stored in the storage area rises to a position in front of the screen 71. In the example shown in FIGS. 23A and 23B, the operation request image HA is displayed at a position where the movable accessory 80 rises. The movable accessory 80 rises to the position where the operation request image HA shown in FIG. Thus, since the movable accessory 80 rises to the position where the operation request image HA is displayed, the display position of the operation request image HA can guide the player to the raised position of the movable accessory 80.

  The movable accessory 80 is a columnar body having a semicircular bottom surface, which is a so-called “kamaboko shape”. The movable accessory 80 is a columnar body having a semicircular shape when the state shown in FIG. Further, the rising position of the movable accessory 80 is a position in front of the central stereoscopic display area 71BC in the stereoscopic display area 71B. For this reason, when the movable accessory 80 rises, the central stereoscopic display area 71BC is hidden by the movable accessory 80.

  However, as shown in FIG. 23B, the display position of the main character image MC displayed in the three-dimensional display area 71B is increased, although the three-dimensional display area 71B does not move as the movable accessory 80 rises. To do. Then, as shown in FIG. 23C, when the movable object 80 is completely lifted and exposed, the central stereoscopic display area 71BC is hidden by the movable object 80, and the movable object 80 is over the movable object 80. An image on which the main character image MC is riding is displayed. In this way, the movable accessory 80 is exposed and an effect in the second effect mode is executed.

  When the effect in the second effect mode is executed, the movable accessory 80 is exposed and positioned in front of the screen 71. In the second effect mode, the projector 32 projects an image on the assumption that an image is displayed on the movable accessory 80 in addition to the screen 71. In the first effect mode, an effect of displaying an image by projecting an image on the screen 71 is executed as in the first embodiment, and in the second effect mode, an image is projected on the screen 71 and the movable accessory 80. The effect which displayed the image by doing is performed. For this reason, diversification of production can be achieved. Further, since the player can select the first effect mode and the second effect mode, it is possible to execute an effect according to the player's preference.

  In the present modification, the movable accessory 80 has a semi-cylindrical shape, but may have another shape, for example, a shape that three-dimensionally represents a predetermined character. Further, only one type of movable accessory 80 is stored and exposed, but a plurality of two or more types of movable accessories may be stored and exposed. In this case, a plurality of movable accessories may be exposed at the same time, or only one type may be exposed.

  Further, in the present modification, the display position of the main character image MC rises as the movable accessory 80 rises, but the display position of the main character image MC may not be changed. In this case, for example, an image in which the main character MC is hidden may be displayed on the movable accessory 80, or the display position of the main character image MC may be transferred from the screen 71 to the movable accessory 80. . When the display position of the main character image MC shifts from the screen 71 to the movable accessory 80, for example, an image in which the main character image MC jumps from the screen 71 toward the movable accessory 80 may be displayed.

<Modification 11>
In the modified example 10, the operation request image HA is displayed at a position where the movable accessory 80 rises. On the other hand, the operation request image HA may be displayed at a position other than such a position. For example, the operation request image HA may be displayed in the flat display area 71A. By displaying the operation request image HA in the flat display area 71A, the operation request image HA can be easily recognized by the player.

  Alternatively, the operation request image HA may be displayed across the flat display area 71A and the stereoscopic display area 71B, or as shown in the second modification shown in FIG. 62, when the screen 60 including the left side display area 63 and the bottom side display area 64 is used, the screen 60 may be displayed on the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, or the bottom side display area 64. The display area 61, the right side display area 62, the left side display area 63, and the bottom display area 64 may be displayed across a plurality of areas.

<Modification 12>
As an effect executed in the special drawing game in the first effect mode (the effect mode in which the movable accessory 80 is in the storage state) in the above-described modification 10, the effect (hereinafter referred to as “lifting”) Can be provided). In addition, when performing the rising effect, blackout display with a dark display on the screen 71 is performed, and a display (hereinafter referred to as “light-up display”) that illuminates the moving movable object 80 is performed. Good. By performing the light-up display, it is possible to execute an effect that highlights the movable object 80 that rises, and it is possible to contribute to the improvement of interest. The light up of the movable accessory 80 may be executed using the projector 32.

  The light-up effect may be an effect of illuminating the movable accessory 80 with one color image, or an effect of illuminating with two colors, three colors, or a plurality of colors, for example, rainbow. The light-up effect may be an effect of projecting an image of a character or the like on the movable accessory 80 as well as simply illuminating the movable accessory 80. In particular, when a figure-shaped or other accessory is used as the movable accessory 80 instead of a kamaboko-shaped movable accessory, an image corresponding to the figure may be displayed.

<Modification 13>
In the rising effect described in the modified example 12, the movable accessory 80 may perform a rising operation, and the expectation of jackpot may differ depending on the rising height of the movable accessory 80 that has finally stopped. For example, in the rising effect, the rising height of the movable accessory 80 is set to four levels: upper (corresponding to the exposed state), middle, lower, and unchanged (corresponding to the stored state). However, what is necessary is just to make it a big hit expectation degree in order of upper stage> middle stage> lower stage> invariant. Or it is good also as another order, for example, the order of invariant> upper stage> middle stage> lower stage.

  The movement when the movable accessory 80 rises may be a movement that gradually rises and increases in height, and once it rises to various heights, it is repeatedly moved up and down to the final height position. You may make it stop. In this case, in the rising effect in which the rising height remains unchanged, after the movable accessory 80 is once raised, the movable accessory 80 is finally lowered to be stored and the rising height remains unchanged. .

  Further, even if the rising height is the same, the expected degree of jackpot may be different depending on the rising operation of the movable accessory 80. For example, in the case where the movable accessory 80 finally stops at the middle stage, when the movable accessory 80 once rises to the upper stage and then descends and stops at the middle stage, it is more than when it stops at the middle stage without rising to the upper stage. Also, the expectation degree of jackpot may be increased.

  Further, during the rising effect, the video may be projected from the projector 32 onto the movable accessory 80, and the big hit expectation may be different depending on the projected video. For example, when the movable accessory 80 rises up to the upper level, when the video projected on the movable accessory 80 is a red spotlight, the expectation of jackpot may be higher than when the image is a blue spotlight. Good. Furthermore, when the movable accessory 80 rises to the upper level, when a special pattern or character image is displayed on the movable accessory 80, a big hit is expected compared to when a monochromatic spotlight is projected on the movable accessory 80. The degree may be increased. Further, in accordance with a mode in which any one of the rising height of the movable accessory 80, the upward movement of the movable accessory 80, and the image projected on the movable accessory 80 is used, the big hit expectation is increased. Also good.

  Further, the rising effect may be executed not only during the special game other than the big hit game state but also during other game states, for example, the big hit game state. For example, if there is a big win as the type of big hit, the number of times the big winning door is opened (so-called number of rounds), an indication or notification as to whether or not the big winning door will continue to be opened is performed with a rising effect. Also good. For example, when there are big hits of 4R and 16R rounds, the rising effect is executed during the fourth R, the rising height of the movable accessory 80, the upward movement of the movable accessory 80, and the movable accessory 80 You may suggest or alert | report whether a round continues by the aspect which combined either of the image | videos to project.

<Modification 14>
In executing the rising effect, the center decoration symbol displayed in the center decoration symbol display area 5C may be lifted on the rising movable accessory 80 and carried to the center ornament symbol display area 5C. For example, when the reach state is formed by the decorative symbols displayed in the left decorative symbol display area 5L and the right decorative symbol display area 5R, the production is diversified by carrying the middle symbol as a rising effect. Can increase interest. Further, a plurality of middle symbols may be carried, and the final decorative symbol may be derived from the finally selected middle ornament symbol.

  Further, when a so-called pseudo-continuous notice effect is executed, a continuation-indicating symbol that suggests the continuation of the pseudo-continuous may be used as a medium decoration symbol carried by the rising effect. Here, the pseudo-continuous notice effect is, for example, based on a variation pattern, in one variation display, after the display of the display result is derived and displayed as a temporary stop symbol as a temporary stop symbol, the variation display is resumed. This is an effect that makes it appear as if multiple times of variable display have been executed. The continuation suggestion symbol is a symbol that suggests or notifies the resumption of the variable display in the pseudo-continuous notice, and is, for example, a symbol that includes the characters “NEXT”. Further, the continuation suggestion symbol may be other symbols including characters that remind the user to resume the variable display, such as “continuation”, “continue”, and “next”. In this way, by displaying the continuation suggestion symbol in the pseudo-continuous notice in a rising effect, it is possible to diversify the effect and contribute to the improvement of interest.

<Modification 15>
The hold display displayed in the hold display areas 5H1 and 5H2 shown in FIG. 1 and the current display displayed in the current display area 5K may be displayed in various modes. The hold display and the current display may be not only a simple figure but also a pattern imitating a predetermined object or character. Only one type of these various patterns may be displayed, or a plurality of types may be displayed. Furthermore, when a plurality of types of patterns are displayed, the expectation of jackpot may be varied depending on the types of patterns. Further, the pattern may be changed when the hold display moves or when the hold display moves to the current display. Furthermore, the character pattern that is a pattern imitating a character may be a character pattern obtained by deforming the character images MC, SC1, and SC2 displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B. The character pattern may be a pattern imitating another character.

  Further, when the character pattern is displayed as the current display, the big hit expectation may be set higher than when the other pattern is displayed. At this time, when the character design is displayed as the current display, an image in which a hole is opened under the current display area 5K is projected, and the character design displayed as the current display falls into the hole and disappears. Good. Despite the fact that the character design is displayed on the display this time and that the expectation level for jackpot is high, the character design falls into the hole and disappears, so that the player can be surprised and the entertainment can be improved. Can do.

  In addition, after performing the effect that the character design falls in the hole, an image in which the character image corresponding to the character design falling in the hole rises due to the rise effect may be displayed. The character image corresponding to the character design falling in the hole rises as a result of the rising effect, so that a player who feels discouraged by the character design falling in the hole can be given a new expectation, which improves the interest. Can contribute. In addition, the character image corresponding to the character pattern falling in the hole may be raised or not when the rising effect is performed. In this case, after the character design has fallen into the hole, it can be enjoyed whether or not the rising effect is performed, so that the interest can be improved.

<Modification 16>
The stereoscopic display area 71B is provided with a central stereoscopic display area 71BC, a left stereoscopic display area 71BL, and a right stereoscopic display area 71BR. These areas are respectively a main character image MC, a first sub character image SC1, and a second stereoscopic character display area 71BR. The sub character image SC2 is displayed. As effects in the special figure game, effects corresponding to the main character image MC, the first sub character image SC1, and the second sub character image SC2 may be executable. By making it possible to execute the effects corresponding to the main character image MC, the first sub character image SC1, and the second sub character image SC2, it is possible to diversify the effects and contribute to the improvement of interest. .

  In addition, when an effect corresponding to the main character image MC, the first sub character image SC1, and the second sub character image SC2 is executed, the stereoscopic display area 71BC in which the character images MC, SC1, and SC2 corresponding to the effect are displayed. , 71BL, 71BR may be illuminated with an effect. For example, when an effect corresponding to the main character image MC is executed, an effect of illuminating the periphery of the central stereoscopic display area 71BC with light may be applied. When applying the effect, the main character image MC in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC may be displayed or may not be displayed. In this way, the effect corresponding to the stereoscopic display area in which the character image to which the effect is applied is displayed is executed, so that it is possible to give the player time to prepare for the effect to be executed. Therefore, improvement of interest can be contributed.

<Modification 17>
When the screen is switched by rotating the curtain member 56, as shown in FIG. 24, an auxiliary line HL along the moving direction (sliding direction) of the curtain member 56 and an arrow HY indicating the moving direction are displayed on the screen main body 91. It may be displayed. By displaying the auxiliary line HL along the moving direction of the curtain member 56 and the arrow HY indicating the moving direction, it is possible to enhance the presence of switching of the active screen and contribute to the improvement of interest. Note that both the auxiliary line HL and the arrow HY may be displayed, or one of them may be displayed.

<Modification 18>
When performing the special game, a character image is displayed in a part of the stereoscopic display areas 71BC, 71BL, 71BR shown in FIG. 7, and an image is not displayed in the stereoscopic display area in the other part. Also good. Further, as the special figure game progresses, the image may be gradually displayed in the stereoscopic display area where the image is not displayed.

  For example, when the special figure game starts, the main character image MC may be displayed in the central stereoscopic display area 71BC, and no image may be displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR. At this time, it is preferable that irregularities in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR are made difficult to understand by the player.

  When the special figure game is started, images are not displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, but images are displayed as the special figure game progresses. The sub character images SC1 and SC2 may be displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR during the progress or at the end. Thus, by displaying the sub character images SC1 and SC2 as the special figure game progresses, it is possible to diversify the production and contribute to the improvement of interest.

  Further, when displaying the sub-character images SC1 and SC2, the big hit expectation may be different depending on the display change mode. For example, when both subcharacters SC1 and SC2 are finally displayed, the first subcharacter image SC1 is displayed, and the big hit expectation is higher than when the second subcharacter image SC2 is not displayed. May be. Further, when only the first sub character image SC1 is finally displayed, the big hit expectation may be higher than when only the second sub character image SC2 is displayed. Alternatively, the display positions of the main character image MC and the sub character images SC1 and SC2 may be switched, and the big hit expectation may be different depending on the display position. For example, the normal display position of the main character image MC is the central stereoscopic display area 5BC, the normal display position of the first subcharacter image SC1 is the left stereoscopic display area 5BL, and the normal display position of the second subcharacter image SC2 is the right stereoscopic display area. In some cases, the big hit expectation may be different by displaying the character images MC, SC1, and SC2 in the stereoscopic display area other than the normal display position. Since the big hit expectation varies depending on the display positions of the character images MC, SC1, and SC2, it is possible to improve the interest. At this time, when the main character MC is displayed in the stereoscopic display area other than the normal display area, the big hit expectation is higher than when the sub characters SC1 and SC2 are displayed in the stereoscopic display area other than the normal display area. Or, conversely, the big hit expectation degree may be lowered. Further, the big hit expectation degree may be higher when there are more character images whose display positions are no longer in the normal display area.

  Further, the big hit expectation may be different depending on the display procedure of the sub character images SC1 and SC2. For example, as the first display procedure, the sub character images SC1 and SC2 may be displayed so as to be gradually engraved and formed from above the left and right stereoscopic display areas 71BL and 71BR. Further, as a second display procedure, an image of a lattice-like groove is suddenly displayed on the entire left and right stereoscopic display areas 71BL and 71BR, and then the image of the groove explodes and sub-character images SC1 and SC2 appear. May be displayed. Among these, the display according to the second display procedure may be higher in the jackpot expectation than the display according to the first display procedure.

<Modification 19>
When the three-dimensional display area 71B shown in FIG. 7 is formed, it may be formed in a relief shape by embossing (relief work). Since the stereoscopic display area 71B is formed in a relief shape, the unevenness in the stereoscopic display area 71B can be enhanced, so that the stereoscopic effect of the image projected from the projector 32 can be emphasized. As a result, the impact given by the image can be increased, which can contribute to the improvement of interest.

<Modification 20>
When projecting an image on a plurality of stereoscopic display areas, the image may be projected sequentially. For example, as shown in FIG. 25A, when an image is projected onto the central stereoscopic display area 71BC, the left stereoscopic display area 71BL, and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR, first, the video is projected onto the central stereoscopic display area 71BC. The main character image MC is displayed. Next, as shown in FIG. 25B, an image is projected onto the stereoscopic display area 71BL to display the first sub character image SC1. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the video is projected onto the right stereoscopic display area 71BR to display the second sub character image SC2. An image may be displayed in the stereoscopic display area 71B by this procedure. In this way, by sequentially projecting images on a plurality of stereoscopic display areas and displaying the images, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the distortion of the image formed in the stereoscopic display area 71B.

<Modification 21>
In the first embodiment, the decorative symbols are derived and displayed according to the special symbols derived and displayed as the variable display result in the special game, but other examples may be used. For example, an effect of changing the display mode of the three-dimensional display area 71B in accordance with the special symbol derived and displayed as a variable display result in the special figure game is performed together with or instead of the decorative symbol derivation display. May be.

  For example, an effect of changing the display mode of the three-dimensional display area 71 </ b> B together with the derivation display of the decorative symbols will be described. In this effect, an image in which the first sub character image SC1 displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the second sub character image SC2 displayed in the right stereoscopic display area 71BR fly from the back to the near position is displayed. . At this time, both the first sub character image SC1 and the second sub character image SC2 are displayed in a size smaller than the size of the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR. In addition, the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right stereoscopic display area 71BR are displayed together with decorative symbols, respectively.

  Here, when the special symbol corresponding to the big hit is derived and displayed as the special symbol, the first sub character image SC1 and the second sub character image SC2 flying from the back to the front position are displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right It is displayed so as to coincide with the stereoscopic display area 71BR. Further, when a special symbol corresponding to the deviation is derived and displayed as the special symbol, the first sub character image SC1 and the second sub character image SC2 flying from the back to the front position are displayed in the left stereoscopic display area 71BL and the right It is displayed so as to fly away from the stereoscopic display area 71BR.
