That. In FIG. 10, only one LED 677 is shown for convenience, but a plurality of LEDs 677 are mounted on the light emitting substrate 678.

  As an example, blue 7 and red 7 of an identification pattern (identification information) are drawn on the sheet member 671 at a predetermined interval, and a plain blank is formed between the blue 7 and the red 7. (See FIG. 44). In the present embodiment, the blank is also referred to as an identification symbol. The sheet member 671 is formed of a translucent material, and the identification pattern is also formed of special ink that is translucent and rich in color. When the reel body 670 is rotated as an effect operation, the identification symbol of the sheet member 671 is variably displayed on the peripheral surface of the reel body 670, and a predetermined identification symbol is stopped and displayed depending on the subsequent stop mode. It becomes visible to the player from the opening 12b as an indication of whether or not it is in a state.

  Further, when the reel unit 670 is rotating or stopped, the LED 677 of the light emitting board 678 is controlled to emit light, blink, extinguish, or change in luminance. The light of the LED 677 travels forward from the opening 12b of the game board 12 while passing through the sheet member 671. As a result, the identification symbol that is displayed in a variable manner or stopped on the peripheral surface of the reel unit 670 is illuminated from the rear, making it easier to visually recognize than in the extinguished state. Such an LED 677 also belongs to the lamp / LED group 18 (see FIG. 14) and improves the effect of the light.

[Movable accessory]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 12, the movable accessory 68 is entirely located on the back side of the upper decoration unit 40 so as to be hidden when viewed from the player side in the standby state (non-operating state) (FIG. 5A In the appearance state, a part (sword part) is configured to move to a position overlapping with a part of the display area 13a (see FIGS. 5B and 12). Thereby, the movable accessory 68 performs a predetermined effect operation so as to cover the effect image displayed in the display area 13a. The movable accessory 68 includes a decorative portion 68A that forms a sword portion, and a drive portion 68B that drives the decorative portion 68A. 5 (A) and 5 (B) show a state in which the upper decoration unit 40 is removed. With the upper decoration unit 40 attached, for example, in the standby state in FIG. 5 (A), The movable accessory 68 cannot actually be visually recognized by the upper decoration unit 40.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the decorative portion 68 </ b> A is fixed to the base member 680, the electric decoration board 682 fixed to the base member 680 and mounted with a plurality of LEDs 681, and the electric decoration board 682 so as to cover these LEDs 681. A light diffusing plate 683 provided on the surface, a light-transmitting cover member 684, and a light-transmitting non-transparent member 685 provided at the center of the cover member 684. . FIG. 8 shows a state in which the light diffusing plate 683, the cover member 684, and the like are removed from the members constituting the decorative portion 68A.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a driven gear 686 is fixed to the base end portion of the base member 680. The drive unit 68B includes a drive gear 687 and a motor 688 for rotating the drive gear 687 in both directions. As shown in FIG. 12, the drive unit 68 </ b> B is provided on the upper right side on the back surface of the upper decoration unit 40 as viewed from the player side.

  The base member 680 is supported by a support member (not shown) through the upper right driven gear 686 on the back surface of the upper decoration unit 40 when viewed from the player side. The driven gear 686 is rotatably supported by a support member (not shown) provided on the back side of the upper decorative unit 40 and meshes with the drive gear 687. As a result, when the drive gear 687 rotates in a predetermined direction by a predetermined angle, the driven gear 686 rotates by a predetermined angle in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction, and the base member 680 tilts integrally with the cover member 684.

  The illumination board 682 includes a plurality of LEDs 681 that can emit light, blink, extinguish, or increase / decrease in luminance in conjunction with the movement of the base member 680 and the like, and is fixed to the base member 680. A light diffusing plate 683 is provided on the surface of the illumination board 682 on which the plurality of LEDs 681 are mounted. The light of the LED 681 travels while widely diffusing from the central part to the peripheral part of the cover member 684 via the light diffusion plate 683. Such an LED 681 also belongs to the lamp / LED group 18 (see FIG. 14), and enhances the effect by emitting light or blinking.

  The cover member 684 transmits the light guided from the LED 681 through the light diffusion plate 683 and emits the light outward. However, in the central portion of the cover member 684, the non-transmissive member 685 blocks light traveling outward. As a result, when viewed from the player side, the central portion of the cover member 684 on which the non-transmissive member 685 is disposed is visually recognized as a non-light emitting area that does not appear to emit light to the surrounding light emitting areas. As a result, even if the LED 681 emits light or blinks, a clear projection image can be projected by projecting a projection image described later only on the non-transmissive member 685.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, such a movable accessory 68 is maintained in a substantially horizontal posture with the decorative portion 68A hidden behind the upper decorative unit 40 at the standby position, while FIG. As shown in FIG. 12B and FIG. 12, the decoration portion 68A appears in an inclined posture in a state where a part of the decoration portion 68A overlaps the display area 13a. The production effect is improved by the appearance operation of the movable accessory 68.

[Projector unit]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIG. 12, a projector unit B is provided inside the upper decoration unit 40. The projector unit B is detachably attached to the upper decoration unit 40. As shown in FIG. 11, the projector unit B includes a projector cover B1 that is detachably accommodated in the upper decoration unit 40, and a projector apparatus body B2 that is attached to the back of the projector cover B1 and emits irradiation light including an image. A mirror member B3 attached in front of the projector cover B1 so as to be disposed in front of the projector apparatus main body B2 and reflecting the irradiation light from the projector apparatus main body B2 in the direction of the game board 12 disposed obliquely downward and rearward; have. Such a projector unit B functions as projection means capable of projecting an image as an effect, and realizes so-called projection mapping.

  Here, the projection mapping is generally for projecting an image on the surface of a three-dimensional object such as a building or a natural object. In this embodiment, in addition to the entire front surface of the game board 12, the decorative member 66A is used. , 66B, 66C, the reel accessory 67, and the movable accessory 68 are projected, and the image is projected on the basis of the production information according to the position (projection distance, projection angle, etc.) and shape, thereby achieving high definition. A powerful presentation display can be realized.

  The projector apparatus main body B2 is attached to the upper inner surface of the projector cover B1. The projector apparatus body B2 is attached so that the attachment posture and angle can be arbitrarily adjusted. As shown in FIG. 12, the projector apparatus main body B2 emits irradiation light emitted so as to form an image from a light source (not shown) toward the front mirror member B3.

  The mirror member B3 is attached to the inner side surface of the front portion of the projector cover B1. The mirror member B3 is attached such that the attachment posture and angle can be adjusted arbitrarily. As shown in FIG. 12, the mirror member B3 reflects the irradiation light from the projector apparatus main body B2 toward the display area 13a and the game area 12a.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the irradiation light emitted from the projector apparatus main body B2 and reflected by the mirror member B3 is applied to the uppermost decorative member 66A, the central decorative member 66B, and the lowermost decorative member 66C. Reach. The projection distance of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66A is La, the projection distance of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66B is Lb, and the irradiation proceeds from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66C. When the light projection distance is Lc, La <Lb <Lc.

  Further, the projection angle with respect to the vertical axis Y of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66A is θ1, the projection angle with respect to the vertical axis Y of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66B, and the projector When the projection angle with respect to the vertical axis Y of the irradiation light traveling from the apparatus main body B2 to the decorative member 66C is θ3, θ3 <θ2 <θ1.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the projection angle with respect to the optical axis X of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66A is α, and the light of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decoration member 66B. When the projection angle with respect to the axis X is β and the projection angle with respect to the optical axis X of the irradiation light traveling from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the decorative member 66C is γ, α≈β <γ.

  The incident light with respect to the front surface (generally vertical surface) of the game board 12 increases as the projection distance increases, and the apparent irradiation area increases even at the same luminous intensity, and the luminance tends to decrease. It becomes. Thereby, the brightness | luminance of irradiation light is large in order of the decoration member 66A of the uppermost part, the decoration member 66B of the center part, and the decoration member 66C of the lowest part, considering only the projection distances La, Lb, and Lc. It becomes a trend.

  In addition, the irradiation light from the projector apparatus main body B2 tends to decrease in luminance because the apparent irradiation area increases as the projection angle with respect to the vertical axis Y and the projection angle with respect to the optical axis X increase. Accordingly, the brightness of the irradiated light is, for example, considering the projection angles θ1 to θ3, α, β, and γ, for example, the uppermost decorative member 66A, the central decorative member 66B, and the lowermost decorative member 66C. The brightness of the irradiated light tends to increase.

  In the present embodiment, the projector unit B emits irradiation light with a uniform amount of light, while the decorative members 66A, 66B, 66C, the reel accessory 67, and the LEDs of the movable accessory 68 are When an image is projected by the irradiation light from the projector unit B, the luminance of light emission of the LED is appropriately adjusted by dimming control, or controlled so that the LED is turned off. Further, the irradiation light from the projector unit B reaches the display area 13a of the liquid crystal display device 13. When an image is projected by the irradiation light with the display area 13 as a projection target, a part of the display area 13a is displayed. Alternatively, the entire area is controlled to be black or gray suitable for projection, or the liquid crystal display device 13 is turned off to control the display area 13a to be black. These controls will be described later.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, as the gaming state controlled by the main control circuit 70 described later, a non-probability / non-short-time gaming state (a normal gaming state that is non-probabilistic and non-short-time) and a winning probability of special symbol lottery And the normal symbol lottery win probability is higher than the non-probability / non-short-time game state, the probability change / short-time game state (the game state that is probabilistic and short-time), and only the normal symbol lottery win probability is non-probable / non-time-short game state If there is a non-probability change / short-time game state (non-probability and short-time game state) that is higher than those, and a special symbol lottery is won in these game states, it shifts to a big hit game state (special game). Further, the gaming state may shift to the small hit gaming state based on the result of the special symbol lottery. In the present embodiment, there is no probability variation / non-time saving gaming state (a gaming state that is both probability variation and non-time saving), but a probability variation / non-time saving gaming state may be provided.

  In the short-time gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is in a high probability state, so that the winning to the second starting port 45 is facilitated by the support of the ordinary electric accessory 46. This state is a so-called “electric support”, and it becomes easy to store a reserved ball of a special symbol game, which will be described later, and it is possible to suppress the loss of the game ball by winning the second start opening 45. Specifically, the short-time gaming state is a state in which the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is relatively high (time-short gaming state 1), a state in which the variation time of the special symbol or the normal symbol is relatively short (short-time gaming state 2). ), Which means at least one of the states in which the normal electric-powered object 46 is released for a relatively long time (short-time gaming state 3). For example, the short-time gaming state includes a state in which the short-time gaming state 1, the short-time gaming state 2, and the short-time gaming state 3 proceed simultaneously with any combination. In such a short time gaming state, the possibility of shifting to the big hit gaming state is improved.

  In the big hit gaming state, after the big hit gaming state having succeeded in the so-called V winning, the transition to the probability variation / short time gaming state is surely made, and the non-probability variation / non-time saving gaming state is not made. On the other hand, if the big hit gaming state is finished without succeeding in the V winning (also referred to as non-V winning), the game state is shifted to a gaming state that is a non-probable variable gaming state and a short-time gaming state after the big winning gaming state is finished. It is like that.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the jackpot gaming state ends, for example, in the probability change / short-time gaming state, 190 special symbol lotteries (190 special symbol variation display or stop display) are performed. It shifts to the probabilistic and non-time-saving gaming state. In addition, after the end of the big hit gaming state, for example, 100 times or 4 times of special symbol lottery (100 times or 4 times of special symbol variation display or stop display) was performed in the non-probability change and short-time gaming state , It is designed to shift to a non-probabilistic and non-time-saving gaming state. It should be noted that the probabilistic / short-time gaming state may be maintained until the next jackpot gaming state is entered after the jackpot gaming state ends. Note that the probability variation gaming state that ends by performing a predetermined number of special symbol lotteries as in the present embodiment is also referred to as an ST (Specia1 Time) gaming state.

[Electric configuration of gaming machine]

In this process, the main CPU 71 determines that there is no special symbol game start memory, that is, the first special symbol start memory area (0) to the first special symbol start memory area (4) or the second special symbol start memory. If no data is stored in the area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), the process proceeds to S62. On the other hand, if the main CPU 71 determines that there is a start-up memory, the process proceeds to S63.

  In S62, the main CPU 71 performs a demo display process. In this process, the main CPU 71 performs a process of setting a demonstration display permission value in the main RAM 73. Furthermore, the state in which the special symbol game start memory (the first special symbol start memory area or the second special symbol start memory area in which the random number for hit determination is stored) is “0” for a predetermined time (for example, 30 s) If it is maintained, a value that permits execution of the demonstration display is set as the demonstration display permission value. Then, the main CPU 71 performs a process of setting a demo display command when the demo display permission value is a predetermined value. The demonstration display command stored in this way is supplied as a demonstration display command from the main CPU 71 of the main control circuit 70 to the sub CPU 81 of the sub control circuit 200. As a result, the demonstration display is executed in the display area 13a of the liquid crystal display device 13. In addition, a video for demonstration display is projected from the projector apparatus main body B2 to the front surface of the game board 12. When this process is finished, the special symbol memory check process routine is finished.

  In S63, the main CPU 71 performs a process of determining whether or not the start memory corresponding to the second special symbol is “0”. In this process, the main CPU 71 determines the presence / absence of data in the second special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), and the start storage corresponding to the second special symbol start storage area is “0”. That is, if it is determined that no data is stored in the second special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), the process proceeds to S64.

That is, when the gaming state flag is a value indicating the probability variation gaming state, the high probability jackpot determination table having a large number of jackpot determination values is referred to, and when the gaming state flag is not a value indicating the probability variation gaming state, the jackpot determination value The jackpot determination table for the non-probability changing gaming state with a small number is referred. As described above, when the gaming state flag is a value indicating the probability variation gaming state, that is, when the gaming state is a probability variation gaming state as a gaming state that is likely to transition to the specific gaming state (big hit gaming state), the game state transitions to the big hit gaming state. The probability of performing is improved as compared with the non-probability changing gaming state in which it is difficult to shift to the big hit gaming state than the probability changing gaming state.

  Then, the main CPU 71 is used for determining whether or not the special symbol start storage area is extracted in the first special symbol start storage area (0) and the second special symbol start storage area (0). The random number value and the selected jackpot determination table are referred to. Then, the main CPU 71 determines that it is a big hit when the random number for hit determination and the big hit determination value match. That is, the main CPU 71 determines whether or not to enter a big hit gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Note that the jackpot probability due to winning in the first starting port 44 in the normal gaming state may be larger or smaller than the jackpot probability due to winning in the second starting port 45. The big hit probability due to winning in the first starting port 44 in the normal gaming state may be larger or smaller than the big hit probability due to winning in the second starting port 45.

In this processing, the main CPU 71 determines the big hit symbol when the big hit determination result is a big hit win, and determines the small hit symbol when the big hit determination result is a small hit win, for either the big hit or the small hit. If it is lost, a process of determining a lost symbol is performed. The special symbol determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to S71.

  In S71, the main CPU 71 executes a special symbol variation pattern determination process. In this process, the main CPU 71 differs based on the special symbol determined in the process of S70, the results of the big hit determination and the small hit determination determined in the processes of S68 and S69, and the value of the probability variation counter. A variation pattern determination table for determining the variation pattern is selected. Then, the main CPU 71 determines a variation pattern based on the rendering condition determination random value extracted from the rendering condition determination random number counter and the selected variation pattern determination table, and stores the variation pattern in a predetermined area of the main RAM 73. Here, the probability variation gaming state and the normal gaming state have different variation pattern determination tables. The main CPU 71 determines the variation display mode of the special symbol in the special symbol display device 61 based on the data indicated by the variation pattern.

[Example of direction operation]
40 to 45 show examples of the rendering operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment. The rendering operation will be described below with reference to these drawings.

  FIGS. 40A to 40C show the rendering operation using the movable accessory 68, the liquid crystal image, and the projected video. 40A to 40C show a state in which the upper decoration unit 40 is removed. In the state where the upper decoration unit 40 is attached, for example, in the standby state of FIG. The object 68 cannot actually be visually recognized by the upper decoration unit 40. FIG. 40C shows an inappropriate example when projecting a projected video.

  First, as shown in FIG. 40A, when the movable accessory 68 is in the standby position, the liquid crystal image is displayed in the display area 13a without the decorative portion 68A overlapping the display area 13a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 40 (B), when the movable accessory 68 moves from the standby position to the appearance position, the decoration portion 68A overlaps with a part of the display area 13a. In such a state, the LED 681 of the decoration portion 68A emits light or blinks with a predetermined luminance (these are collectively referred to as “light emission effect”). Accordingly, the player is interested in the light emission effect 681A along with the movement of the decoration portion 68A, and the visual effect is enhanced.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 40 (C), for example, a lightning projection image 500 may be part of the game area 12a around the decoration portion 68A or the like due to irradiation light from a projector device body B2 (not shown). It is projected even to a part of the display area 13a. That is, the main portion 510 of the lightning projection image 500 is formed in the decoration portion 68A, but the remaining part 520 of the lightning projection image 500 is formed in a part of the game area 12a and the lightning projection image 500. The other part 530 is formed in a part of the display area 13a. Such a lightning projection image 500 may appear to overlap a liquid crystal image such as a character (not shown) in the display area 13a.

  At this time, if the light emission effect 681A by the LED 681 has the above-mentioned predetermined luminance, the light of the main part 510 of the lightning projection image 500 formed on the decoration portion 68A and the light of the light emission effect 681A are mixed, thereby causing a lightning projection image. It becomes easy to visually recognize 500 like white and blurred. In addition, the other portion 530 of the lightning projection image 500 overlaps with a liquid crystal image (not shown) in the display area 13a, and accordingly, the color tone of the lightning projection image 500 is easily broken and visually recognized. As a result, the color of the lightning projection image 500 becomes poor, and the lightning projection image 500 becomes unclear. The reason why the lightning projection image 500 becomes unclear is that the lightning projection image 500 is formed by combining light of RGB colors, and the light of the lightning projection image 500 and the light of the light emission effect 681A or the light of the liquid crystal image. This is thought to be because the brightness of a specific color is strengthened by mixing and additive color mixing. In order to prevent such blurring of the image from occurring, in the present embodiment, means described below are taken.

  FIG. 41A shows a state in which the lightning projection image 500 is projected to the periphery around the decoration portion 68A, and FIG. 41B shows the decoration portion 68A and the lightning projection image 500 in the state of FIG. The state which abbreviated is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (A), in the lightning projection image 500, as in FIG. 40 (C), the main part 510 is formed in the decoration part 68A, and the remaining part 520 is part of the game area 12a. The remaining other part 530 is formed in a part of the display area 13a.

  At this time, the LED 681 of the decoration portion 68A is temporarily stopped from emitting light by stopping light emission or blinking. In addition, as shown in FIG. 41B, in the display area 13a, for example, a black or gray scale gray color extends from an area overlapping the lightning projection image 500 to an area where the other portion 530 of the lightning projection image 500 is formed. A liquid crystal image 300 having such display colors is formed. The liquid crystal image 300 having such a display color exhibits a color tone suitable for a projection mapping video.

  That is, in the state shown in FIGS. 41A and 41B, the lightning projection image 500 is not perceived as white and blurred without being mixed with the light of the lightning projection image 500 and the light of the light emission effect. . In addition, although the other part 530 of the lightning projection image 500 overlaps with the liquid crystal image 300, the color tone of the lightning projection image 500 is not lost because the liquid crystal image 300 itself emits dark light or no light. That is, the light of the lightning projection image 500 and the light of the light emission effect and the light of the liquid crystal image 300 are not mixed or weakly mixed, and thus the brightness of the specific color is not increased. Therefore, even if the lightning projection image 500 is projected on the decorative portion 68A of the movable accessory 68 that overlaps the display area 13a, a clear image can be projected without causing blurring in the entire lightning projection image 500.

  When the lightning projection image 500 is projected onto the decoration portion 68A of the movable accessory 68, the LED 681 of the decoration portion 68A is used as long as the light of the light emission effect 681A does not affect the clarity of the lightning projection image 500. The light may be emitted or blinked at a luminance lower than a predetermined luminance. The display area 13a may display a liquid crystal image 300 in which the entire area is black or gray on a gray scale. Further, the display area 13a may be black in the normally black mode by stopping the driving by turning off the power of the liquid crystal display device 13.

  FIGS. 42A to 42C show a rendering operation using the movable accessory 68, a liquid crystal image, and a projected video. As the liquid crystal image, a shield liquid crystal image 310 imitating a shield and a star pattern 320 showing a glitter are displayed in the display area 13a. As projected images, crack projected images 540 and 550 showing cracks are projected.

  First, as shown in FIG. 42A, when the decorative portion 68A moves from the standby position to the appearance position while the shield liquid crystal image 310 is displayed in the display area 13a, the decorative portion 68A moves to the shield of the display area 13a. The liquid crystal image 310 is partially overlapped. In such a state, the LED 681 of the decoration portion 68A is stopped from emitting light or blinking as described above, or the luminance is reduced. At this time, a crack projection image 540 may be projected onto the decoration portion 68A. Such a crack projection image 540 of the decoration portion 68A appears as an effect suggesting a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 42B, the crack projection image 540 is erased while the decorative portion 68A overlaps a part of the shield liquid crystal image 310. At this time, a star pattern 320 is displayed in a part of the display area 13a that cannot be seen from the front of the player by overlapping with the decoration portion 68A. The star pattern 320 is a liquid crystal image that is invisible to the player located in the front, but can be visually recognized by going around the side of the decorative portion 68A and looking through the gap between the decorative portion 68A and the display area 13a. It is said. Such a star pattern 320 can be visually recognized only by looking into after the appearance of a crack projection image 540 that suggests an unfavorable gaming state, and a gaming state that seems to be disadvantageous for the player is actually an advantageous gaming state. It appears as a so-called reverse production that suggests that.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42C, a crack projection image 550 is projected so as to overlap the shield liquid crystal image 310 in the display region 13a. At this time, in the display region 13a, for example, a region where the crack projection image 550 is projected (a part of the shield liquid crystal image 310) can display a clear image, for example, black or a gray uniform gray scale. It is partially formed as a display color area. The crack projection image 550 formed on the shield liquid crystal image 310 appears as an effect suggesting a game state advantageous to the player. In addition, you may make it project the projection image which imitated the shield instead of the shield liquid crystal image 310 on the display area 13a. Further, if the star pattern 320 and the crack projection image 550 appear, not all are in an advantageous gaming state, but may be a so-called gaze effect as a disadvantageous gaming state even if it appears.

  FIGS. 43A to 43C show an effect operation using the movable accessory 68, the liquid crystal image, and the projected video. As the liquid crystal image, a shield liquid crystal image 310 imitating a shield and a crack pattern 330 showing cracks are displayed in the display area 13a. As the projection image, a spark projection image 560 showing a pattern in which sparks are scattered is projected. 42 (A) to 42 (C) show advantages and disadvantages of the gaming state because the sword (decoration portion 68A of the movable accessory 68) and the shield (shield liquid crystal image 310) collide with each other and cracks occur on either side. It is a production that suggests.

  As shown in FIG. 43A, the decorative portion 68A moves from the standby position to the appearance position as shown in FIG. 43B from the state where the shield liquid crystal image 310 is displayed in the display area 13a. At this time, the decorative portion 68A may reciprocate over and over again. In such a case, the sword and the shield can be expressed appropriately. When the decoration portion 68A overlaps with a part of the shield liquid crystal image 310, a spark projection image 560 is overlapped with the shield liquid crystal image 310 in a part of the display area 13a that is visible from the front of the player near the decoration portion 68A. Is projected. At this time, in the display region 13a, for example, a region where the spark projection image 560 is projected (a part of the shield liquid crystal image 310) can display a clear image, for example, black or a gray-scale uniform gray scale. It is desirable that the display color region is partially formed. The spark projection image 560 formed on the shield liquid crystal image 310 preferably expresses how the sword and the shield collide. Note that in the display area 13a in such a case, instead of the shield liquid crystal image 310, a projection image imitating a shield may be projected.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 43 (C), in the display area 13a, the movable accessory 68 is stationary with the decorative portion 68A overlapping the shield liquid crystal image 310. At this time, a crack pattern 330 is displayed in a part of the display area 13a that cannot be seen from the front of the player by overlapping with the decoration portion 68A. The crack pattern 330 is a liquid crystal image and is invisible to the player located in the front, but can be visually recognized by going around the side of the decorative portion 68A and looking through the gap between the decorative portion 68A and the display area 13a. It is said. Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses after the movable accessory 68 stops, the decorative portion 68A returns to the standby position although not particularly shown. As a result, the player can visually recognize the crack pattern 330 directly from the front without being blocked by the decorative portion 68A. Such a crack pattern 330 can be visually recognized only by looking into the movable accessory 68 after it has stopped, and can be directly visible after a predetermined time has passed since the stationary, so that it is advantageous for the player. Appears as a production that suggests.

  44 (A) and 44 (B) show the rendering operation using the reel accessory 67 and the projected video. As the projected image, a protection color projection image 570 that makes blue 7 (671A), red 7 (671B), or blank 671C unrecognizable or difficult to visually recognize as the identification symbol of the reel accessory 67 is projected. Further, as the projected image, a lost projection image 571 is projected. Note that FIG. 44B shows an effect that makes it difficult to discriminate until blue 7 (671A) or blank 671C is finally notified.

  As shown in FIG. 44 (A), when the reel accessory 67 performs the variation display or stop display of the identification symbol, and if the projection image is not projected on the opening 12b, the internal LED 677 has a predetermined luminance. The light can be emitted or blinked. On the sheet member 671 of the reel accessory 67, for example, blue 7 (671A), blank 671C, and red 7 (671B) are formed at predetermined intervals against a white plain background. Blue 7 (671A) is a drawing area printed or applied in uniform blue. Red 7 (671B) is a drawing area printed or applied in a uniform red color. The blank 671C is a uniform white or gray background area without a printed or coated area. For example, when the reel unit 670 (see FIGS. 9 and 10) rotates so as to move from top to bottom as viewed from the player side, the identification symbol is red 7 (671B) → blank 671C → blue 7 (671A). → Red 7 (671B) → ... are displayed in the order of variation. In the state where the rotation of the reel unit 670 is stopped, as shown in the right column of FIG. 44A, for example, when implying a hit (big hit, small hit), the position of the opening 12b is blue 7 (671A) or red 7 (671B) is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when suggesting a loss, the blank 671C is stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b.

  As shown in the upper part of FIG. 44 (B), when the identification symbol is variably displayed by rotating the reel unit 670, blue 7 (671A), blank 671C, and red 7 (671B) are sequentially displayed at the position of the opening 12b. It moves fast and you can see colors that are assimilated according to the speed.

  Then, when suggesting a hit, as shown in the left column of FIG. 44 (B), the rotation of the reel body 670 stops and, for example, blue 7 (671A) is stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b. At this time, from the projector apparatus main body B2 (not shown), a protection color projection image 570 made of blue having the same color or the same color as blue 7 (671A) is projected so as to spread at least over the entire opening 12b. Since the protection color projection image 570 is made of blue having the same color or the same color as that of blue 7 (671A), it is difficult to distinguish blue 7 (671A) in terms of color vision. That is, blue 7 (671A) stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b has melted into the protective color projection image 570. At this point, the player has stopped displaying blue 7 (671A). It is impossible or difficult to visually determine whether the blank 671C is stopped and displayed.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses after the reel body 670 stops rotating, the projection of the protective color projection image 570 from the projector apparatus main body B2 is stopped, and as a result, the stop-displayed blue 7 is displayed at the position of the opening 12b. (671A) is directly visible.

  On the other hand, when suggesting a loss, as shown in the right column of FIG. 44B, when the rotation of the reel unit 670 stops, a blank 671C is stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b. At this time, from the projector apparatus main body B2 (not shown), a protective color projection image 570 made of blue having the same color or the same color as, for example, blue 7 (671A) is projected so as to spread at least over the entire opening 12b. . Since the protective color projection image 570 is reflected by the blank 671C and appears to be uniform blue, it is difficult to determine visually whether blue 7 (671A) is stopped. That is, even at this time, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to visually determine whether blue 7 (671A) is stopped and displayed, or whether blank 671C is stopped.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses after the reel body 670 stops rotating, the projection of the protective color projection image 570 from the projector apparatus main body B2 is stopped, and the entire opening 12b is replaced with the blank 671C as a background instead. The loss projection image 571 of white 7 shown is projected. In the lost projection image 571, the white portion 7 is formed by the white image 571A, and the surrounding background is formed by the same blue background image 571B as the protection color projection image 570. That is, when suggesting the loss, the projection image 571 is projected at the position of the opening 12b so as to give an impression of the loss more than the blank 671C.

  With the protected color projection image 570 and the loss projection image 571 projected according to the color of the identification symbol, the player can finally visually recognize either the blue 7 (671A) or the blank 671C. Until then, the degree of expectation for the big hit can be maintained, and the production effect is enhanced. When red 7 (671B) is stopped and displayed in the case of suggesting a hit, a protection color projection image 570 composed of red having the same or the same color as red 7 (671B) is projected. . Further, a protection color projection image 570 having a uniform predetermined color tone other than blue and red is projected, and it is made visible that either blue 7 (671A) or red 7 (671B) is stopped. However, blue 7 (671A) and red 7 (671B) may be melted into the protection color projection image 570 so that one of them cannot be distinguished. Of course, identification patterns other than blue and red may be provided, and a protection color projection image 570 having a color tone corresponding to them may be projected.

  FIG. 45 shows an effect operation using the reel accessory 67 and the projected image. As a projection image, in addition to the protection color projection image 570, for example, a blue 7 projection image 572 having the same color and the same design as blue 7 (671A) is projected. FIG. 45 shows an effect in which the reel accessory 67 repeats the display and stop display of the identification symbol for a predetermined number of times (in the example of FIG. 45, four pseudo-reams) as a so-called pseudo-ream.

  As shown in FIG. 45, when the first pseudo-ream is started, the reel accessory 67 starts to display the variation of the identification symbol, and then stops the predetermined identification symbol (in the figure, a blank 671C as an example). When displayed, the first pseudo-ream ends. At this time, a blue 7 projection image 572 simulating blue 7 with the blank 671C as a base is projected on the entire opening 12b. Such a blue 7 projection image 572 impresses the pseudo-ream itself. Thereafter, similarly, the second and third pseudo-operations are repeated.

  Eventually, for example, if an effect that suggests a hit or a loss is performed in the fourth pseudo series, the reel accessory 67 starts to display the variation of the identification symbol by the start of the fourth pseudo series. Thereafter, when the winning is suggested, the rotation of the reel body 670 is stopped, and for example, blue 7 (671A) is stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b. At this time, from the projector apparatus main body B2 (not shown), a protection color projection image 570 made of blue having the same color or the same color as blue 7 (671A) is projected so as to spread at least over the entire opening 12b. As a result, blue 7 (671A) stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b has melted into the protective color projection image 570, and at this point, the player has stopped displaying blue 7 (671A). It is impossible or difficult to visually determine whether the blank 671C is stopped and displayed.

  Although not particularly shown, when suggesting a loss, when the reel body 670 stops rotating, the blank 671C is stopped and displayed at the position of the opening 12b. At this time, from the projector apparatus main body B2 (not shown), a protective color projection image 570 made of blue having the same color or the same color as, for example, blue 7 (671A) is projected so as to spread at least over the entire opening 12b. . Accordingly, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to visually determine whether Blue 7 (671A) is stopped and displayed, or whether Blank 671C is stopped and displayed.

  Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the reel body 670 stops rotating in the case of winning, the projection of the protection color projection image 570 from the projector apparatus main body B2 is stopped, and as a result, a stop display is displayed at the position of the opening 12b. The blue 7 (671A) thus made becomes visible directly. On the other hand, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the reel body 670 stopped rotating in the case of loss, the projection of the protection color projection image 570 from the projector apparatus main body B2 is stopped, and as a result, the blank 671C can be directly visually recognized. At this time, as shown in FIG. 44 (B) described above, a lost projection image 571 may be projected onto the position of the opening 12b.

  According to such a pseudo-continuous rendering operation, the expectation for the big hit is maintained until either one of the blue 7 (671A) and the blank 671C is finally directly visible in the final round of the pseudo-ream. The production effect is enhanced. When red 7 (671B) is stopped and displayed in the case of suggesting a hit, a protection color projection image 570 composed of red having the same or the same color as red 7 (671B) is projected. . Further, a protection color projection image 570 having a uniform predetermined color tone other than blue and red is projected, and it is made visible that either blue 7 (671A) or red 7 (671B) is stopped. However, blue 7 (671A) and red 7 (671B) may be melted into the protection color projection image 570 so that one of them cannot be distinguished. Of course, identification patterns other than blue and red may be provided, and a protection color projection image 570 having a color tone corresponding to them may be projected. In addition, the effect operation shown in FIG. 45 is not limited to the pseudo-ream, but can be applied as an effect operation of a mini game, for example.

[Modifications and Other Embodiments]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 46 to 65, a modified example of the gaming machine according to the first embodiment and a gaming machine according to another embodiment will be described. Note that the same or similar components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

[Modification of game board]
46 and 47 show modified examples of the game board 12. The game board 1 shown in the figure has a reel logo 67, and a decorative logo member 69 that three-dimensionally displays a logo type such as a model name, for example, at the upper center of the display area 13a. The opening 12b for displaying the identification symbol of the reel accessory 67 is provided on the upper right side of the display area 13a, and a decorative cover 12c having a three-dimensional design is provided around the opening 12b. It has been. A projector unit (not shown) can project an image on the decorative cover member 12c including the decorative logo member 69 and the opening 12b.

[Example of projection effect operation]
48 (A) to 48 (F) show an example of the effect operation using the reel accessory 67 and the projected image, and FIG. 49 shows an example of the effect operation for projecting the image up to the decorative logo member 69. .

  As shown in FIG. 48 (A), when the reel symbol 670 (not shown in the figure) of the reel accessory 67 rotates and the identification symbol is variably displayed, the position of the opening 12b is blue 7 (671A), Blank 671C and red 7 (671B) move at a high speed in order, and it can be seen that these colors are assimilated according to the speed.

  The color formed by such a high-speed movement of the identification pattern does not clearly indicate the original blue or red, but appears to be different from the blue or red due to the rotation color mixture. As the rotational speed of the reel body 670 increases, the sheet member 671 looks more uniform in the opening 12b due to rotational color mixing. As shown in FIG. 48B, a character projection image 580 showing a character or the like different from the identification symbol is projected onto the sheet member 671 that appears to have a uniform color through the opening 12b. In order to make such a character projection image 580 clear, the color formed by the rotational color mixture is preferably black or gray with a gray scale, but may be a color with other colors.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 48C, a character projection image 580 is projected onto the opening 12b, while a background projection showing the background of the character projection image 580 is included on the decorative cover 12c including the entire opening 12b. An image 581 is projected.

  Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. 48D, a symbol projection image 582 simulating an identification symbol is projected onto the opening 12b instead of the character projection image 580.

  When the symbol projection image 582 is thus projected onto the opening 12b, the symbol projection image 582 gradually increases as shown in FIGS. 48E and 48F, and is projected so as to expand to a position overlapping the decorative cover 12c. Is done. Note that the projected image may be configured to be projected only on the surrounding decorative member and the like while avoiding the flow-down area of the game ball. In this case, it is possible to prevent the movement of the game sphere from being difficult to visually recognize, and to prevent the player from feeling reluctant because the image is reflected on the game sphere that rolls randomly.

  According to such an effect operation, when the character projection image 580, the background projection image 581, and further the symbol projection image 582 are projected onto the opening 12b during the variation display of the identification symbol by the reel accessory 67, the variation is projected. It is possible to make it difficult to understand whether the display is in progress or the stop display, and a variety of visual effects can be performed.

  In addition, since the background projection image 581 and the design projection image 582 can be projected so as to extend to the decorative cover 12c larger than the opening 12b, it is possible to perform further various effects.

  As shown in FIG. 49, during the variable display of the identification symbol by the reel accessory 67, the character projection image 580 and the background projection image 581 projected on the positions of the opening 12b and the decoration cover 12c are displayed as the decoration logo member. There is a case where the projection position is moved to the position 69 and projected so as to be enlarged to the size found on the decorative logo member 69.

  According to such a production operation, the character projection image 580 can be made to feel as if it has moved from the position of the opening 12b or the decorative cover 12c to the position of the decorative logo member 69. An effect such as drawing can be realized.

[Example of reach production operation]
FIG. 50 shows an example of a so-called reach effect operation using the display area 13a and the projected video. In the reach effect operation shown in the figure, the same symbol liquid crystal images 345 to 348 are variably displayed so as to sequentially move from top to bottom in a horizontal row in the display region 13a. In addition, the last number of the code | symbol of symbol liquid crystal image 345-348 respond | corresponds to the number which the said symbol liquid crystal image 345-348 shows as an identification symbol.

  First, as shown in FIG. 50 (A), in the display area 13a, for example, the design liquid crystal images 345 and 346 corresponding to the numbers “5” and “6” are displayed in a variable manner so as to move sequentially from top to bottom. Suppose you are. At this time, a symbol projection image 594 corresponding to the number “4” is projected onto the lower peripheral region of the display region 13 a so as to move in advance of the symbol liquid crystal image 345. In addition, a symbol projection image 597 corresponding to the number “7” is projected on the upper peripheral region of the display region 13 a so as to move in the rear order from the symbol liquid crystal image 346. In addition, the last number of the code | symbol of the symbol projection image | video 594,597 respond | corresponds to the number which the said symbol projection image | video 594,597 shows as an identification symbol. The same applies to the symbols of the other symbol projection images below.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 50B, in the display area 13a, the numbers of the identification symbols are shifted by one, and the design liquid crystal images 346 and 347 corresponding to the numbers “6” and “7” are displayed. Fluctuation display is performed so as to move in order from top to bottom. At this time, a symbol projection image 595 corresponding to the number “5” is projected on the lower peripheral region of the display region 13 a so as to move in advance of the symbol liquid crystal image 346. In addition, a symbol projection image 598 corresponding to the numeral “8” is projected on the upper peripheral region of the display region 13a so as to move in a later order than the symbol liquid crystal image 347.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 50C, in the display area 13a, the number of the identification symbol is shifted by one, and the design liquid crystal images 347 and 348 corresponding to the numbers “7” and “8” are displayed on the upper side. It is displayed in a variable manner so that it moves in order from the bottom to the bottom. At this time, a symbol projected image 596 corresponding to the numeral “6” is projected onto the lower peripheral region of the display region 13a so as to move in advance of the symbol liquid crystal image 347. On the other hand, in the area around the upper side of the display area 13a, the symbol projected image corresponding to the numeral “9” should be projected according to the order of the identification symbols described above. A symbol projection image 597 corresponding to is projected. When such a projected pattern image 597 different from the normal order is projected, it becomes an irregular effect that increases the degree of expectation of the big hit, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 50 (D), the design liquid crystal image 348 corresponding to the number “8” is displayed variably displayed at the bottom of the display area 13a so as to move from top to bottom. The symbol liquid crystal image 347 corresponding to the number “7” is variably displayed on the upper portion of the region 13a as if the previous symbol projection image 597 has moved downward. At this time, a symbol projection image 597 corresponding to the number “7” is projected onto the lower peripheral region of the display region 13 a so as to move in advance of the symbol liquid crystal image 348. On the other hand, the pattern projection image 597 corresponding to the number “7” is projected on the region around the upper side of the display region 13a by continuing the irregular effect.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 50 (E), a design liquid crystal image 347 corresponding to the number “7” is displayed variably at the bottom of the display area 13a, and the previous design is displayed at the top of the display area 13a. The design liquid crystal image 347 corresponding to the number “7” is displayed in a variable manner as if the projected image 597 has moved downward. At this time, a symbol projected image 598 corresponding to the numeral “8” is projected onto the lower peripheral region of the display region 13 a so as to move in advance of the symbol liquid crystal image 347. On the other hand, the pattern projection image 597 corresponding to the number “7” is projected on the region around the upper side of the display region 13a by continuing the irregular effect. That is, in this state, only the symbol projected image 598 shows a different number “8”, and two symbol liquid crystal images 347 and one symbol projected image 597 indicate the same number “7”. It can be felt that the expectation of the big hit is further increased.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 50F, the symbol liquid crystal image 347 corresponding to the numeral “7” is stopped and displayed at the lower part of the display area 13a, and the numeral “7” is also displayed at the upper part of the display area 13a. The symbol liquid crystal image 347 corresponding to “7” is stopped and displayed. Similarly, a symbol projection image 597 corresponding to the numeral “7” is projected onto the lower peripheral area of the display area 13a, and the symbol corresponding to the numeral “7” is also projected onto the upper peripheral area of the display area 13a. A projected image 597 is projected. That is, in this state, all of the two symbol liquid crystal images 347 and the two symbol projection images 597 are aligned to indicate the same number “7”. As a result, the player can enjoy, for example, the fact that the big hit has been confirmed by the display mode of the identification symbol that combines the liquid crystal image and the projected video.

  As shown as an example in FIG. 51, when the reach effect as shown in FIG. 50 is performed on the game board 12 shown in FIG. 47, the numbers “2” and “3” projected outside the display area 13a are supported. The projected image 592, 593 is projected onto the portion of the game area 12a that covers the rolling area of the game ball so that the irradiation light does not impair the visibility due to irregular reflection or the like. The image is projected as a partially lacking image so as not to form.

[Modified examples of movable parts]
52 and 53 show a modification of the movable accessory.

  As shown in FIG. 53, in the decorative part 68A of the movable accessory, light shielding for blocking the light of the LED 681 going outward between the vicinity of the end of the base member 680 and the vicinity of the end of the cover member 684 is performed. A wall 689 is provided. Thus, as shown in FIG. 52, the peripheral portion of the cover member 684 is viewed as a non-light emitting region 684b when viewed from the player side, and even if the LED 681 emits light or blinks, the peripheral non-light emitting region 684b. By projecting the projected image only on the screen, a clear projected image can be projected.

  FIG. 54 shows another modification of the movable accessory.

  The cover member 684 shown in FIG. 54 is not provided with the non-transmissive member 685 in the central portion thereof, and the central portion is partially formed of a non-transmissive material as a non-light emitting region 684b '. As a result, when viewed from the player side, the central portion of the cover member 684 is visually recognized as a non-light emitting region 684b ′, and even if the LED 681 is lit or blinking, only the non-light emitting region 684b ′ in the center is projected. By projecting, a clear projected image can be projected.

  FIG. 55 shows another modification of the movable accessory. The projector device main body B2 does not need to be fixed, and may be configured such that the irradiation position and the irradiation angle can be changed by a predetermined driving mechanism in accordance with the game situation or the like.

  55 includes a cover member 684 ′ formed in a substantially circular shape, and an arm member 680 ′ that connects a drive unit and a cover member 684 ′ (not shown) and also serves as a base member. Have Such a decoration part 68A 'also moves from the standby position to the appearance position as an effect suggesting the advantage / disadvantage of the gaming state, and is in a state of overlapping a part of the display area 13a.

  At this time, a gray background liquid crystal image 350 of, for example, gray scale is formed in the central region that occupies the lower side of the cover member 684 ′ in the display region 13 a, and the character body part is overlapped with the background liquid crystal image 350. The displayed character body projection image 600 is projected. A character face projection image 610 showing the character's face is projected onto the cover member 684 '. Although not particularly shown, a liquid crystal image related to the character is displayed in the other area of the display area 13a. According to this, the entire character can be expressed by combining the character body projection image 600 projected onto a partial area of the display region 13a and the character face projection image 610 projected onto the cover member 684 ′. Furthermore, various effects can be performed by combining with liquid crystal images. Instead of these, a liquid crystal image showing the character's body part may be displayed in the area where the background liquid crystal image 350 and the character body projection video 600 are displayed.

[Other Embodiments]
56 to 57 show gaming machines according to the second to third embodiments.

  As shown in FIG. 56, in the gaming machine 1 of the second embodiment, the projector unit B is not provided with a mirror member, and the projection light is emitted directly from the projector device main body B2 toward the front surface of the game board 12. It is configured. Also with the gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those according to the first embodiment described above and modifications thereof.

  As shown in FIG. 57, in the gaming machine 1 of the third embodiment, a direct irradiation type projector unit B is adopted as in the second embodiment, and a so-called front liquid crystal device 13 ′ is used instead of the liquid crystal display device. Is adopted. The movable accessory 68 is located between the game board 12 and the front liquid crystal device 13 ′ on the back side of the upper decoration unit 40 and attached to the upper front part of the game board 12.

  The front liquid crystal device 13 ′ includes a pair of edge lights 13 </ b> A, a light guide plate 13 </ b> B, and a front liquid crystal panel 13 </ b> C, and is disposed between the protective glass 28 and the game board 12. The front liquid crystal device 13 ′ irradiates the back surface of the front liquid crystal panel 13C with light from the edge light 13A via the light guide plate 13B, and displays the liquid crystal image on the entire front surface by controlling the liquid crystal driving of the front liquid crystal panel 13C. . In addition, the front liquid crystal device 13 ′ appropriately controls the liquid crystal driving of the front liquid crystal panel 13C, so that the front liquid crystal panel 13C passes from the front liquid crystal panel 13C to the back through the light guide plate 13B or from the light guide plate 13B to the front liquid crystal. Light is transmitted through the panel 13C to the front surface. That is, the irradiation light and the external light from the projector apparatus main body B2 pass through the front liquid crystal panel 13C and the light guide plate 13B to reach the game area 12a and the decoration portion 68A, and the light reflected there reflects the light guide plate 13B and the front liquid crystal panel 13C. Sensed by the player through.

  The decorative portion 68A of the movable accessory 68 is located so as to be hidden by the upper decorative unit 40 in the standby state (non-operating state), and in the appearance state (the state shown in FIG. 57), the front liquid crystal panel 13C of the front liquid crystal device 13 ′. Or the light guide plate 13B. Further, the player can visually recognize the projected image displayed on the decoration portion 68A through the front liquid crystal panel 13C and the light guide plate 13B. The gaming machine 1 according to the third embodiment can also obtain the same effects as those according to the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above and modifications thereof.

  The projector unit B may directly irradiate the game area 12a and the decoration 68A through the front liquid crystal panel 13C and the light guide plate 13B without using the protective glass 28. Also in the gaming machine according to the third embodiment, a reflection type projector unit B provided with a mirror member B3 may be employed as in the first embodiment.

[Example of rendering operation according to another embodiment]
58 and 59 show an example of the projection effect operation using the front liquid crystal device 13 ′ and the projection image according to the third embodiment of FIG.

  The movable accessory 68 is located entirely on the back side of the upper decorative unit 40 (not shown) so as to be hidden from the player side in the standby state (non-operating state) (see FIG. 58A), and in the appearance state. Then, the decorative portion 68A moves to a position overlapping with a part of the game area 13a on the front side of the front liquid crystal panel 13C (see FIG. 58B). Thereby, the movable accessory 68 performs a predetermined effect operation so as to cover the effect image displayed on the front liquid crystal panel 13C. In the standby state of FIG. 58 (A), the movable accessory 68 cannot actually be visually recognized by the upper decoration unit 40. That is, such a movable accessory 68 also performs the same rendering operation as that according to the first embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 58 (A), the decorative portion 68A is placed on the back side of the upper decorative unit 40 in the standby position. It is kept in a horizontal position in a hidden state. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 58 (B), the decorative portion 68A appears in an inclined position in a state where a part of the decoration portion 68A is located in front of the front liquid crystal panel 13C and overlaps with the game area 12a. To do. The production effect can also be improved by the appearance operation of the movable accessory 68.

  FIGS. 59A and 59B show an effect operation using the movable accessory 68, the liquid crystal image of the front liquid crystal panel 13C, and the projected video. As the projected video, a character projected video 620 showing a predetermined character is projected. As a liquid crystal image, although not particularly illustrated, a black background color image or a gray background color image suitable for the background color is displayed in a part of the front liquid crystal panel 13C overlapping the character projection image 620. Note that FIG. 59A shows an inappropriate example when projecting a projected video.

  As shown in FIG. 59A, when the character projection image 620 is projected in accordance with the front surface of the front liquid crystal panel 13C and the decorative portion 68A of the movable accessory 68, a light emission effect 681A by the LED 681 (not shown) is performed. Then, a part of the character projected image 620 to be formed on the decorative portion 68A is easily disappeared or visually recognized due to the additive color mixture of light described above. As a result, it appears as if the decorative portion 68 </ b> A overlaps the front side of the character projection image 620, and the projection mapping image such as the character projection image 620 is projected on the physically acting movable accessory 68. However, a powerful production cannot be realized.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 59 (B), when projecting the character projection image 620, it is preferable not to perform the light emission effect by the LED 681 (not shown). Then, as shown in the figure, the character projection image 620 can be formed so as to protrude from the front surface of the front liquid crystal panel 13C to the decorative portion 68A of the movable accessory 68 without partially missing. As a result, the decoration portion 68A can be visually recognized so as to penetrate the character projection image 620, so that a projection mapping image such as the character projection image 620 can be appropriately projected in accordance with the movable object 68 that physically operates. It is possible to realize a powerful virtual reality presentation.

  60 and 61 show an example of the projection effect operation using the movable accessory 68, the front liquid crystal device 13 ', and the projection image according to the third embodiment of FIG. As the projection image, a box projection image 630 showing the closed state of the treasure box, a box projection image 630 ′ showing the opened state, a sword projection image 640 simulating the same sword as the decoration 68A, and a star pattern projection showing a sparkle An image 650 is projected. As the liquid crystal image, light is transmitted through the background liquid crystal image 360 for forming a black or gray background suitable for forming a projection image inside the box projection video 630 ′, or inside the box projection video 630 ′. A transmissive liquid crystal image 370 for forming a portion and a star pattern liquid crystal image 380 showing glitter are displayed. The box projection images 630 and 630 'and the sword projection image 640 may be displayed as liquid crystal images.

  First, as shown in FIG. 60A, the decoration portion 68A is not shown in its entirety so as to be on the back side of the front liquid crystal panel 13C and hidden from the player side in the standby state (non-operating state). It is located on the back side of the upper decoration unit 40. At this time, a box projection image 630 is projected on a partial area near the decoration portion 68A on the front surface of the front liquid crystal panel 13C. A partial area of the front liquid crystal panel 13C on which the box projection image 630 is projected is controlled to form a black or gray background.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 60B, a box projection image 630 ′ is projected instead of the box projection image 630 on a partial area of the front liquid crystal panel 13 </ b> C corresponding to the box projection image 630. At this time, the inner side of the box projection video 630 ′ is blocked by the background liquid crystal image 360 even if the decoration portion 68A moves to the back side of the background liquid crystal image 360 by displaying the background liquid crystal image 360. Part 68A cannot be seen. Such a box projection image 630 'appears as an effect suggesting a loss, for example, when nothing is shown as the background liquid crystal image 360 inside.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 60C, the sword projection video 640 may be projected on the inner side of the box projection video 630 'with the background liquid crystal image 360 displayed. In this case, for example, although the degree of expectation (reliability) is not so high, it is an effect that has a certain degree of expectation.

  As shown in FIG. 61 (A), the interior of the box projection image 630 ′ can visually recognize the decorative portion 68A that has moved to the back side of the transmissive liquid crystal image 370 by displaying the transmissive liquid crystal image 370. In some cases. In such a case, the actual decoration portion 68A will appear to have entered the treasure box, and the expectation of jackpot will be further enhanced.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 61B, a star pattern projection image 650 is projected on the decoration portion 68A through the transmissive liquid crystal image 370 inside the box projection image 630 ′, or a star is formed on a part of the transmissive liquid crystal image 370. A patterned liquid crystal image 380 may be displayed. In this case, the effect is such that the degree of expectation (reliability) is further increased. Note that the star pattern liquid crystal image 380 displayed in the transmissive liquid crystal image 370 may be projected as a projected image. According to such an effect, it is possible to appropriately display images and images three-dimensionally and two-dimensionally using the liquid crystal image of the front liquid crystal panel 13 </ b> C, the projected image, and the movable accessory 68. High performance can be realized.

[First Modification of Effect Suppression Processing]
FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing a first modification of the effect suppression process executed by the sub CPU 81. This effect suppression process is executed in units of the following steps.

  As shown in FIG. 62, in S400, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a lightning projection image has been selected based on the effect determined by the effect determination process (S360) of FIG. When the lightning projection image is selected, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to S401. When the lightning projection image is not selected, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression processing routine.

  In S401, the sub CPU 81 further determines whether or not the movable accessory 68 performs an effect operation based on the effect determined by the effect determination process (S360). When the movable accessory 68 performs the rendering operation, the sub CPU 81 shifts the process to S402. When the movable accessory 68 does not perform the effect operation, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression process routine.

  In S402, the sub CPU 81 further determines whether or not the movable accessory 68 performs a light emission effect. When the movable accessory 68 performs the light emission effect, the sub CPU 81 shifts the processing to S403. When the movable accessory 68 does not perform the light emission effect, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression processing routine.

  In step S <b> 403, the sub CPU 81 sets data for stopping the projection of the lightning projection image in a predetermined area of the work RAM 83. Based on this data, the sub CPU 81 controls the projector device main body B2 so that when the movable accessory 68 performs the light emission effect, the light emission effect is given priority and the projection effect based on the lightning projection image is not performed. On the other hand, when the light emitting effect is not performed, if the projection effect of the lightning projection image is selected, the projector apparatus body B2 is controlled so that the projection effect is performed. When this process ends, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression process routine. According to such processing, the projection effect based on the projection image can be executed only when the light emission effect is not performed, and a clear image can be displayed on the decorative body 68A of the movable accessory 68.

  Note that even if a light emission effect is performed, a projection effect based on a lightning projection image or the like may be executed as long as the movable object 68 does not emit light at a time or timing.

[Second modified example of effect suppression processing]
FIG. 63 is a flowchart illustrating a second modification of the effect suppression process executed by the sub CPU 81. FIG. 64 is a diagram showing a light emission luminance correction table used in this effect suppression process. The light emission luminance correction table is stored in the program ROM 82 of the sub control circuit 200, for example. The effect suppression process of FIG. 63 is executed in units of the following steps.

  As shown in FIG. 63, in S400, the sub CPU 81 selects a projection effect for projecting the projected image toward the decorative members 66A, 66B, 66C based on the effect determined by the effect determining process (S360) of FIG. Determine whether or not. When this projection effect is selected, the sub CPU 81 shifts the process to S411. When such a projection effect is not selected, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression process routine.

  In S411, the sub CPU 81 further determines whether or not the decoration members 66A, 66B, and 66C perform the light emission effect based on the effect determined by the effect determination process (S360). When performing the light emission effect, the sub CPU 81 shifts the process to S412. When the decorative members 66A, 66B, and 66C do not perform the light emission effect, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression processing routine.

  In S <b> 412, the sub CPU 81 sets corrected luminance data corresponding to each of the decorative members 66 </ b> A, 66 </ b> B, 66 </ b> C defined in the light emission luminance correction table of FIG. 64 in a predetermined area of the work RAM 83. In the light emission luminance correction table, the decorative members 66A, 66B, and 66C are represented as “A”, “B”, and “C”, respectively. The corrected luminance data of the decorative members 66A, 66B, 66C (“A”, “B”, “C”) is “A”, It is stipulated that correction (reduction) is greatly made in the order of “B” and “C”. Based on such corrected luminance data, the sub CPU 81 controls the projector apparatus main body B2 so as to execute the projection effect by the projected image while performing the light emission effect with the corrected luminance for the decoration members 66A, 66B, and 66C. . When this process ends, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect suppression process routine. According to such processing, even when the lighting effects of the decorative members 66A, 66B, and 66C are performed, the brightness of the decorative member is appropriately corrected (reduced) according to the projection angles α, β, and γ. Since the projected image is projected above, a clear image can be projected on average on any of the decorative members 66A, 66B, 66C.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In the above embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine has been described as an example of a gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this. The various techniques of the present invention described above can be applied to other gaming machines, for example, a ball game machine and an enclosed game machine. In addition to the gaming machines listed above, general-purpose technology can be applied to various gaming machines such as gaming machines, slot machines, and pachislot gaming machines.

  The numerical values, information, components, and the like shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

  Based on the above embodiment, the outline | summary of this invention is enumerated below.

(About Appendix A)
Some conventional gaming machines project an image from a projector onto a polyhedral structure arranged on a gaming board (see, for example, JP-A-2015-205001). A structure on a game board generally includes a light emitter such as an LED. In addition, this type of structure may operate as a movable body.

  However, in the conventional gaming machine described above, even if light is projected from the projector in order to project an image on the light emitting area of the light emitter in the structure (movable body), it is likely to be visually recognized as white and blurred. This is presumably because the light of the image reflected on the structure is mixed with the light from the light emitter, and the brightness is enhanced by additive color mixing. As a result, a clear image could not be projected, and there was a difficulty in deteriorating aesthetics in the production.

(About Appendix C)
Conventionally, this type of gaming machine is provided with an electronic shutter in front of the symbol display area, and by reducing the transmittance of the electronic shutter, the symbol display area is made a non-transparent area and the design is hidden. (For example, refer to JP 2009-55942 A).

  However, in the above conventional gaming machine, even if the transmittance is maximized by not operating the electronic shutter in a normal state, the symbol must be visually recognized through the electronic shutter itself, so that the symbol as identification information looks dim.
