Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine, and a slot machine.

  The pachinko machine has an outer frame that can be attached to the island facility, a front frame that can be opened and closed on the front side of the outer frame, and a game board that is attached to the front side of the front frame. And a front door having a viewing window through which the game area can be viewed. Normally, the lower side of the lower horizontal frame member of the outer frame is a self-supporting support portion, and is self-supporting when the self-supporting support portion is grounded to a floor surface or the like (see Patent Document 1). .

JP 2014-226309 A

In order for the entire pachinko machine to maintain a self-supporting state with the support section for self-supporting on the floor or the like, it is necessary to set the center of gravity of the entire pachinko machine above the front and rear width of the lower horizontal frame member . However, the lower horizontal frame member of the outer frame itself has a very narrow front-rear width, so the pachinko machine is in an unstable state, and the center of gravity position of the lower horizontal frame member is the same as the front-rear width of the lower horizontal frame member due to contact with the operator etc. There is a problem that the pachinko machine falls forward or backward when it moves slightly forward or backward.
On the other hand, in recent pachinko machines, the size of the image display means mounted on the back side of the game board has increased, and accordingly, control boards disposed on the back side of the image display means have greatly protruded rearward, On the front side, there is a tendency to provide large decorative means, movable effect means, and the like that largely protrude forward. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to ensure the independence of pachinko machines.
In view of such a conventional problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can stably support a gaming machine main body.

  The present invention provides a gaming machine comprising: a lower unit projecting from the lower side of the gaming machine main body to the front side; and a support portion for supporting the independence of the gaming machine main body on the lower side of the lower unit. The gaming machine main body is configured to be capable of self-supporting in a forward-tilted state by a part of the bottom of the base and the support portion.

  According to the present invention, there is an advantage that the gaming machine main body can be stably supported.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, a normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × opened once) and an extended opening / closing pattern (for example, an opening / closing pattern set so that the opening time is longer than the normal opening / closing pattern) Two types of opening / closing patterns (2 seconds × 3 times opening) are set, and the normal opening / closing pattern is selected during the normal gaming state, and the extended opening / closing pattern is selected during the special gaming state.

  The special random number creation processing means 137 is a jackpot determination random number used for determination of jackpot / off, a symbol determination random number used for selection of a stop symbol after variation of the special symbol, a variation pattern random number used for selection of a variation pattern, and other predetermined patterns It is configured to perform special random number generation processing that repeatedly generates random numbers.

  The special start opening check processing means (start detection processing means) 138 performs processing based on winning of game balls to the first and second special symbol start means (start means) 56, 57. First and second special random number information such as jackpot determination random number value and jackpot symbol random number value created by special random number creation processing means 137 based on the winning of a game ball in any of special symbol starting means 56 and 57 , And the first and second special random number information is stored in the special random number storage means 139 with a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four) as a limit.

  The special start port check processing unit 138 includes a prefetch determination unit 138a. The prefetch determination means 138a uses the first and second special random number information obtained when the game ball wins the first and second special symbol start means 56 and 57 at the time of obtaining the first and second special random number information. A look-ahead determination is made as to whether or not the jackpot determination random number value included in the random number information matches the first and second jackpot determination values. This prefetch determination result is transmitted to the effect control board 122 and the like by a hold increase command transmitted based on the winning of a game ball to one of the first and second special symbol starting means 56 and 57.

  The special symbol processing means 140 performs processing related to the variable display of the first and second special symbols. When the first and second special symbol display means 53 and 54 are in a state in which the variable display is possible, the second If the number of special hold is 1 or more, take the first jackpot determination random number value from the queue of the second special random number information, if only the first special hold number is 1 or more, from the queue of the first special random number information, A jackpot determination function for determining whether or not the jackpot determination random number value matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, and depending on the result of the jackpot determination, the first and second special random number information Special stop symbol selection function for selecting a stop symbol after fluctuation of the first and second special symbols based on the included jackpot symbol random number value, etc., and the variation pattern of the first and second special symbols according to the result of jackpot determination Multiple And a change pattern selection function for selecting from among classes.

  The special symbol display control means 141 performs display control of the first and second special symbol display means 53 and 54, and based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 140, the first special symbol display means 53 or the second special symbol display means 53 or 54. The second special symbol display means 54 starts the variation of the first and second special symbols, and based on the fact that the variation time corresponding to the selected variation pattern has elapsed, The change of special symbols is stopped.

  The special profit state generating means (profit state generating means) 142 is for generating the first and second special profit states that are advantageous to the player. The result of the jackpot determination by the special symbol processing means 140 is a jackpot. 1st and 2nd special profit state which opens the big winning means 58 according to a predetermined opening pattern when the stop symbol after the 1st and 2nd special symbol changes becomes the 1st and 2nd big hit mode (specific mode) It is configured to generate (profit state).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, two types of α and β are provided as the opening patterns of the big winning means 58, and the special profit state generating means 142 is configured to open the patterns α, It is configured to select any one of β. The opening pattern α is set so that the operation of releasing the special winning means 58 for 0.2 seconds is performed for two rounds. Since this release pattern α has a short opening time of 0.2 seconds and the number of rounds is as small as 2 rounds, the possibility that a game ball will win during the opening is very small.

  On the other hand, the opening pattern β is an operation for closing the special winning means 58 on condition that a predetermined time (for example, 28 seconds) elapses after opening or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls have been won. Is set to perform a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds). In the case of this open pattern β, if there are 15 winning balls for one winning prize to the big winning means 58, 9 × 15 × 15 = 2025 in most cases when the player just keeps firing normally. You can expect to play, and the direct profits that the player can obtain compared to the open pattern α is much larger. Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the probability that the open pattern β is selected is the first special when the second special symbol is in the second big hit mode (second special profit state). It is set to a higher value than when the symbol is in the second big hit mode (first special profit state).

  The special game state generating means 143 is for generating a special game state advantageous to the player after the first and second special profit states are completed. As shown in FIG. 13, the first and second special random number information In accordance with the jackpot symbol random number value when the jackpot determination random number value included in is matched with the jackpot determination value, one of the special game states of the short-time state and the probability variation state is generated.

  During the short-time state, the fluctuation time of the first and second special symbols is switched to a shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time, and the probability that the normal symbol is in a hit mode is higher than the normal probability (for example, 1/10). (For example, 1 / 1.3), the opening / closing pattern of the second special symbol starting means 57 is normally opened / closed from the normal changing time (for example, 27 seconds) to the shortened changing time (for example, 2.7 seconds). It is possible to switch from a pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × open once) to an extended opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times open). The short-time state starts after the end of the first and second special profit states, and the next special profit state occurs or when the first and second special symbols have changed a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times). End with.

  During the probabilistic state, the probability that the first and second special symbols will be the first and second big hits is switched to a higher probability (eg 1/35) than the normal probability (eg 1/350). Yes. In addition, during the probability change state, in principle, switching similar to the time reduction state is also performed, but if the special profit state of the release pattern α occurs during the normal gaming state, The same switching as in the time reduction state is not performed (so-called latent probability changing state). The probability variation state starts after the end of the first and second special profit states and ends when the next special profit state occurs. However, other end conditions such as the number of fluctuations of the first and second special symbols may be set. It may be added.

  The control command transmitting means 144 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to a sub-control board such as the effect control board 122 and giving a control command. Based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 140, At the start of the variation of the second special symbol, first and second retention decrease commands for designating a decrease in the number of first and second special reserves, first and second variation pattern designating commands for designating the variation pattern of the production symbol 114, First and second stop symbol form designation commands for designating the stop symbol aspects of the first and second special symbols are transmitted to the effect control board 122 in this order, and the first and second special symbols are changed at the end of the first and second special symbols. , A function of transmitting the first and second variation stop designation commands to instruct the variation stop of the second effect symbol to the effect control board 122 side, and the first and second special hold numbers when the first and second special reserved numbers increase. Hold number The function of transmitting the first and second reserved increase commands for designating increase to the effect control board 122 side, the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols is completed when the first and second special reserved numbers are both 0, etc. The function to send a customer waiting demo command when the first and second special symbols are in the variable standby state, the special gaming state generation command when the special gaming state is generated and ended by the special gaming state generation means 143, the special game Function to send status end command etc. to production control board 122 side, door open error, magnetism detection error, radio wave detection error, payout error, winning switch error, illegal winning error, etc. The corresponding error command is transmitted, and when the error is canceled, the error cancel command corresponding to the error type is transmitted to the effect control board 122. It has a function, and the like.

  The effect control board 122 controls effects by various effect means, such as effect control means 150, special reserved number display control means 151, symbol variation effect control means 152, firing guidance notification control means 153, error notification control means 154, A volume adjusting unit 155, a light amount adjusting unit 156, a customer waiting control unit 157, a power saving mode setting unit 158, and the like are provided.

  The effect control means 150 controls each effect means, such as an image display control means 150a for controlling image display by the image display means 60, a sound control means 150b for controlling sound output from the speakers 18 and 25, an LED, and the like. There are provided a light emission control means 150c for controlling the light emission of the illumination means 159, a movable body control means 150d for controlling the movable effect means 75 to 78 having the first to fourth movable bodies 75a to 78a, and the like.

  The special reserved number display control means 151 performs display control of the first and second special reserved numbers on the image display means 60. As shown in FIG. Correspondingly, the first reserved display images X1 to X4 corresponding to the first special reserved number (maximum 4), the second reserved display images Y1 to Y4 corresponding to the second special reserved number (maximum 4), and changing The on-change moving image Z corresponding to the first and second special symbols is displayed on the image display unit 60 via the image display control unit 150a so as to be superimposed on the front side of the predetermined holding base image 161. Yes.

  In this embodiment, in order to preferentially digest the reserved memory of the second special symbol over the reserved memory of the first special symbol, the second reserved display images Y1 to Y4 are respectively provided in front of the first reserved display images X1 to X4. A part of it is displayed. When the first and second hold increase commands are received from the main control board 121, one of the first and second hold display images X1 to Y1 is additionally displayed at the end of the queue.

  When the first and second hold decrease commands are received from the main control board 121, the first and second hold display images X1 to Y1 are shifted one by one toward the front side of the queue. The pushed first and second hold display images X1, Y1 are moved to a predetermined position to be changed to a changing hold image Z. In addition, since the fluctuation | variation of a 2nd special symbol has priority over a 1st special symbol, while the 2nd hold display image Y1- is displayed, there is no increase about 1st hold display image X1-. Will not decrease.

  The symbol change effect control means 152 controls the change display of the effect symbol 114 and the accompanying notice effect, and includes an effect symbol control means 152a and a notice effect control means 152b. The effect symbol control means 152a controls the display of the effect symbol 114 and the accompanying sound output, illumination light emission, etc. via the effect control means 150, and designates the first and second variation patterns from the main control board 121. When the command is received, when the first and second variation stop designation commands are received, the variation of the production symbol 114 and the accompanying voice output and the light emission are started based on the designated variation pattern. 1. Stops the variation of the production symbol 114 in the stop symbol mode selected based on the second stop symbol mode designation command and the first and second variation pattern designation command, and also outputs the sound output and the illumination light associated therewith. It is supposed to stop.

  The notice effect control means 152b determines whether or not the first and second special profit states occur when the stop symbols after the first and second special symbols change become the first and second big hits, etc. The notice effect regarding the fluctuation of the second special symbol and the effect symbol 114 is controlled. Examples of the notice effect include “prefetch notice effect” performed based on the prefetch determination result by the prefetch determination unit 138a, “normal notice effect” performed based on the jackpot determination result at the start of symbol variation by the special symbol processing unit 140, and the like. .

  Further, in the “prefetching notice effect”, an effect of the same mode is executed in a plurality of symbol variations up to symbol variations corresponding to the special random number information subjected to the prefetch determination based on the prefetch determination result. In addition to “pre-reading continuous effect”, there are “pre-reading hold change effect” for displaying the first and second hold display images X1 to Y1 in a predetermined display mode as shown in FIG.

  The “normal notice effect” includes “conversation notice effect”, “step-up notice effect”, “button notice effect”, “mini-character notice effect”, and the like. In the “conversation notice effect”, the dialogue of the character is displayed on the image display means 60 while the first and second special symbols are changing, and the content of the dialogue is that the first and second special symbols are the first and second big hits. The reliability (hereinafter referred to as jackpot reliability) that is an aspect is suggested. In the “step-up notice effect”, a predetermined effect step including display of an effect image on the image display means 60 is performed in a plurality of steps (for example, five steps) according to the jackpot reliability during the change of the first and second special symbols. ) Is executed up to a predetermined stage. In this step-up notice effect, the jackpot reliability is set higher as the stage of the effect step progresses.

  In the “button notice effect”, when it is determined that the operation of the effect button 34 satisfies a predetermined operation condition (operation is established) during the operation effective period during the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, the jackpot reliability is increased. In response to this, an effect at the time of a predetermined operation is executed. In the “mini-character notice effect”, one or a plurality of mini-character images are displayed on the image display means 60, and an operation for suggesting the jackpot reliability is performed.

  For the pre-reading notice effect, the notice effect control unit 152b receives the first and second hold increase commands and performs a lottery to start execution when a predetermined condition such as not being in the pre-reading continuous effect is satisfied. When at least one of the pre-reading notice effects (pre-reading continuous effect, pre-reading hold change effect, etc.) is won, execution of the pre-reading notice effect is started. When starting, that is, when the first and second hold decrease commands, the first and second fluctuation pattern designation commands, and the first and second stop symbol form designation commands are received within a certain period of time, a lottery is performed, and multiple types of normal When winning at least one of the notice effects (conversation notice effect, step-up notice effect, etc.), the normal notice effect is executed while the first and second special symbols are changing. It has been.

  The firing guidance notification control means 153 controls the firing guidance notification that the game area 23 should be fired aiming at the left or right side of the game area 23, and “← Left” that it should be fired aiming at the left flow path 108a side. Left-handed guiding image 162a (FIG. 16 (a)) and right-handed guiding image 162b (FIG. 16 (b)) such as “to the right →” indicating that it should be aimed at the right flow down path 108b side. Any one of them is displayed on the image display means 60 via the image display control means 150a at a predetermined timing during the game.

  In this embodiment, during the normal gaming state, the probability that the normal symbol display means 51 will be in a hit state is low, and even if the normal profit state occurs due to the hit state, the opening time of the second special symbol starter 57 is slight. (FIG. 12), the possibility of winning the second special symbol starting means 57 is extremely low. Therefore, in the normal gaming state, rather than making a right strike aiming at the normal symbol starting means 55 and the second special symbol starting means 57 on the right flow path 108b side, left strike and the first special from the left flow path 108a side. Since it is more advantageous for the player to aim for winning the symbol starting means 56, it is desirable to display the left-handed guidance image 162a at a predetermined timing such as when the special gaming state ends.

  On the other hand, since the big winning means 58 is opened during the first and second special profit states, the player should make a right turn aiming at the big winning means 58 on the right flow path 108b side. Further, during the special gaming state, the probability that the normal symbol display means 51 will be in a hit state increases, and the opening time of the second special symbol starter 57 when the normal profit state occurs in the hit state becomes longer. For this reason (FIG. 12), it is more advantageous for the player to make a right strike aiming at the normal symbol starting means 55 and the second special symbol starting means 57 on the right flow down path 108b side. Therefore, it is desirable to display the right-handed guidance image 162b at a predetermined timing during the first and second special profit states and the special game state.

  In the case of the present embodiment, in the first and second special profit states of the release pattern α, the opening time of the special winning means 58 is very short, and the special game state that occurs after the completion is the latent probability change. Since the second special symbol starting means 57 is not opened and extended (FIG. 13), it is desirable not to display the right-handed guiding image 162b. Alternatively, only one of the left-handed guidance image 162a and the right-handed guidance image 162b may be displayed.

  The error notification control unit 154 controls error notification, and the error notification is sent to the image display unit 60 through the image display control unit 150a from the time when the error command is received from the main control board 121 until the error release command is received. Error notification such as displaying an image 163 is executed. In the case of a door open error, an error notification image 163 such as “door open” is displayed on the image display means 60 from when the door open command is received from the main control board 121 until the door open release command is received. (FIG. 17).

  The volume adjustment unit 155 performs control related to volume setting, and a volume-adjustable notification image (notification indicating that an operation for volume adjustment is possible during a volume-adjustable period in which the player can adjust the volume. (Image) 116a (FIG. 18 (a)) is displayed on the image display means 60 at a predetermined timing, and the volume setting image showing the volume setting status when there is a player operation related to volume adjustment during the volume adjustment possible period. 117a (FIG. 19A) is displayed on the image display means 60. In the present embodiment, the left key 35c and the right key 35d of the cross operation means 35 are assigned for volume adjustment operation. If the left key 35c is pressed during the volume adjustment possible period, the volume is lowered and the right key 35d is pressed. The volume will increase.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the volume adjustable notification image 116a is composed of an illustration showing the left key 35c and the right key 35d used for volume adjustment, and the characters “deep volume adjustment”. Further, as shown in FIG. 19A, the volume setting image 117a is composed of a plurality of (five) scale images corresponding to a predetermined level (for example, five levels) of volume and characters of “volume”. The number of scale images corresponding to the current volume setting is displayed in a different mode (for example, display color) from the other scale images.

  When the player operates either the left key 35c or the right key 35d during the volume adjustable period, if the volume adjustable notification image 116a (FIG. 18A) is displayed, the volume adjustable notification is displayed. The image 116a is deleted from the image display means 60. Further, the volume is changed according to the player's operation, and the volume setting image 117a (FIG. 19A) corresponding to the changed volume is displayed on the image display means 60 for a certain period.

  In the present embodiment, the volume adjustment period is set not only in the customer waiting state described later but also in other game states, but a predetermined period such as after power-on may be excluded from the volume adjustment period. Further, the volume adjustable notification image 116a may always be displayed during the volume adjustable period, or the volume adjustable notification image 116a may be displayed only during a specific period such as in a customer waiting state. When either the left key 35c or the right key 35d is operated in a state where the volume setting image 117a is not displayed, the volume setting image 117a is displayed in the first operation, but the volume is not changed. The volume may be changed by the second and subsequent operations after the volume setting image 117a is displayed.

  The light amount adjusting unit 156 performs control related to the light amount adjustment of the electric decoration unit 159, and the light amount adjustment that the operation for adjusting the light amount is possible during the light amount adjustable period in which the light amount adjustment by the player operation is possible. When the possible notification image (notification image) 116b (FIG. 18B) is displayed on the image display means 60 at a predetermined timing and a player operation relating to the light amount adjustment is performed during the light amount adjustment possible period, the light amount setting status A light amount setting image 117b (FIG. 19B) indicating the above is displayed on the image display means 60. In the present embodiment, the upper key 35a and the lower key 35b of the cross operation means 35 are assigned for the light amount adjustment operation. If the upper key 35a is pressed during the light amount adjustable period, the light amount increases, and the lower key 35b is pressed. The amount of light decreases.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the light quantity adjustable notification image 116b is composed of an illustration showing the upper key 35a and the lower key 35b used for light quantity adjustment, and letters “adjust light quantity”. Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, the light amount setting image 117b is composed of a plurality of (five) scale images corresponding to light amounts at predetermined stages (for example, five stages) and characters of “light quantity”. The number of scale images corresponding to the current light amount setting is displayed in a mode (for example, display color) different from other scale images.

  If the player operates either the upper key 35a or the lower key 35b during the light amount adjustable period, if the light amount adjustable notification image 116b (FIG. 18B) is displayed, the light amount adjustable notification is displayed. The image 116b is erased from the image display means 60. In addition, the light amount is changed according to the player's operation, and a light amount setting image 117b (FIG. 19B) corresponding to the changed light amount is displayed on the image display means 60 for a certain period.

  In the present embodiment, the light quantity adjustable period and the volume adjustable period are set to the same period, but both periods may be different. Further, the light quantity adjustable notification image 116b may be always displayed during the light amount adjustable period, or the light amount adjustable notification image 116b may be displayed only during a specific period such as in a customer waiting state. If either the upper key 35a or the lower key 35b is operated when the light amount setting image 117b is not displayed, the light amount setting image 117b is displayed in the first operation, but the light amount is not changed. The light amount may be changed by the second and subsequent operations after the light amount setting image 117b is displayed.

  The customer waiting control unit 157 receives the customer waiting demo command from the main control board 121 and continues until the first and second special symbol display units 53 and 54 start changing the first and second special symbols. It controls the production in the waiting state (waiting period), and can execute the customer waiting production process (FIG. 20) and the menu management process (FIG. 21) in the timer interruption.

  In the present embodiment, the period from when the customer waiting demo command is received from the main control board 121 to when the first and second special symbols start to change (during customer waiting) is a setting change by menu selection operation, etc. It is set in a menu operable period in which (setting relating to a game) is possible, and when the player presses the effect button 34 while waiting for the customer, the menu image 118b (FIG. 25, etc.) is displayed, and the state is further displayed. By pressing the upper key 35a, the lower key 35b, and the effect button 34 of the cross operation means 35, any selection item displayed on the menu image 118b can be selected and executed.

  In the present embodiment, since the cross operation means 35 is also used for volume and light amount adjustment operations, the period during which the menu image 118b is displayed (the period during which the cross operation means 35 can be used for menu selection operations). It is desirable to exclude the cross operation means 35 from being used for volume and light quantity adjustment operations by excluding it from the volume adjustable period and light quantity adjustable period.

  Next, the customer waiting effect process shown in FIG. 20 will be described. In the customer waiting effect process, first, a customer waiting state flag is determined (S1). This customer waiting state flag indicates whether or not a customer waiting state is in effect, and is set to 1 if the customer is waiting, and 0 if not waiting. If the customer waiting state flag is not 1 (S1: No), it is determined whether or not a customer waiting demo command has been received from the main control board 121 (S2), and if a customer waiting demo command has not been received (S2). : No), the customer waiting effect process ends here.

  The customer waiting demo command is used when the first and second special hold numbers are both 0 and the variable waiting state of the first and second special symbols is entered. It is transmitted from the main control board 121 to the effect control board 122 at the time of clearing.

  When the customer waiting demo command is received when not in the customer waiting state (S1: No → S2: Yes), the customer waiting state flag is set to 1 (in the customer waiting state) (S3) and the image is displayed. The display of the menu displayable notification image 118a on the means 60 is started (S4). Here, the menu displayable notification image (notification image) 118a is for notifying that an operation for displaying the menu image 118b is possible. As shown in FIG. 24, an effect button used for menu display is provided. It is composed of an illustration showing how the button 34 is pressed and the characters “menu display”.

  Then, a customer waiting normal effect is started (S5), an initial value is set in the demo timer (S6), and the customer waiting effect process is terminated. In the customer-waiting normal effect, the image of the effect symbol 114 in a state stopped by the previous symbol variation is continuously displayed on the image display means 60, and the illumination means 159 emits light with a predetermined light emission pattern, and from the speakers 18, 25. A predetermined BGM is output. The demo timer is for measuring the duration of the customer-waiting normal performance, and a value corresponding to 180 s is set as an initial value.

  The menu operable period starts when a customer waiting demonstration command is received. The menu displayable notification image 118a is displayed on the image display means 60 for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) after receiving the customer waiting command. ) It may be after. In addition to a predetermined time (for example, 30 s) after the start of the customer waiting state, the menu displayable notification image 118a is displayed for a predetermined period during the customer waiting state (for example, during the display of a company logo during a customer waiting demonstration stage described later). You may make it not.

  Also, if the customer waiting state flag is 1 (in customer waiting state) in S1 (S1: Yes), whether or not the fluctuation start timing of the first and second special symbols has arrived, that is, first and second. It is determined whether a variation pattern designation command or the like has been received (S7). If the first and second special symbols have not yet started to change (S7: No), whether or not the customer-waiting normal performance is being performed, that is, during the customer-waiting normal performance and during the customer-waiting demonstration performance described later. (S8: Yes), the demo timer is decremented by 1 (S9), and the demo timer value after the subtraction is 0. (S10: Yes), the execution of the customer waiting demonstration effect is started (S11). On the other hand, when the value of the demo timer after subtraction is not 0 (S10: No), the customer waiting normal effect is continued as it is (S10a).

  In the customer waiting demonstration effect, the model image image, the company logo image, the stop image of the effect symbol 114, etc. are repeatedly displayed in a predetermined pattern on the image display means 60, and the illumination means 159 emits light in a predetermined light emission pattern, and the speaker 18 , 25 output a predetermined BGM. Note that the audio output may be stopped in the customer waiting demonstration effect.

  After the start of the customer-waiting demonstration effect (S8: No), the customer-waiting demonstration effect is repeatedly executed (S12) until the fluctuation start timing of the first and second special symbols arrives (S7: Yes). The customer waiting demonstration effect and the customer waiting normal effect may be executed repeatedly alternately.

  If it is determined in S7 that the first and second special symbol change start timing has arrived (S7: Yes), the customer waiting state flag is set to 0 (S13) and the customer waiting in execution The normal effect or the customer waiting demonstration effect is ended (S14), the display of the menu displayable notification image 118a is ended (S15), the menu no-operation timer is cleared to 0 (S16), and the customer waiting effect process is ended. The menu no-operation timer will be described later.

  Next, the menu management process shown in FIG. 21 will be described. In this menu management process, first, a subtraction process of the menu non-operation timer, that is, a process of subtracting 1 on the condition that the value is larger than 0 (S21, S22). Here, the menu no-operation timer is for counting the no-operation period during menu display, and an initial value is set in S48 (FIG. 22) and S66 (FIG. 23) described later.

  Next, it is determined whether or not any one of the effect button 34 and the up and down keys 35a and 35b of the cross operation means 35 is pressed, and when the effect button 34 is pressed (S23: Yes), when the effect button is pressed. The process (S24) is performed when the upper key 35a of the cross operation means 35 is pressed (S25: Yes), when the upper key is pressed (S26), and when the lower key 35b is pressed (S27: Yes). Executes the process when the down key is pressed (S28). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that simultaneous pressing of the keys of the effect button 34 and the cross operation means 35 is not allowed.

  The process when the effect button is pressed when the effect button 34 is pressed (S24) is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG. That is, it is first determined whether or not the customer waiting state flag is 1, that is, whether or not the menu operation is possible (S41), and if the customer waiting state flag is not 1 (S41: No). Here, the process when the effect button is pressed ends.

  If the customer waiting state flag is 1 (S41: Yes), it is determined whether or not the menu image flag is 1 (S42). Here, the menu image flag indicates whether or not the menu image is being displayed, and is set to 1 while the menu image is being displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the menu image 118b includes a plurality (four in this case) of selection item images 164a to 164a corresponding to a plurality of selection items including “return” for returning to the previous display state. The cursor which shows a temporary selection state is located in either of these several selection item images 164a-164d.

  The menu image 118b in FIG. 25 is configured by four types of selection item images 164a to 164d of “history”, “mode change”, “guidance”, and “return”, and in the initial state, the cursor (shown by hatching in the drawing). ) Is positioned in the selection item image 164d of “return”.

  When the menu image flag is not 1 in S42 (S42: No), the display of the menu displayable notification image 118a is terminated (S43), and the menu image 118b and the menu operation notification image 118c are displayed on the image display means 60. Is started (S44, S45) and a menu display sound is output from the speakers 18, 25 (S46). Here, the menu operation notification image 118c is used to notify the operation method related to the menu image 118b. As shown in FIG. 25, the menu operation notification image 118c is an illustration showing the up and down keys 35a and 35b of the cross operation means 35 used for moving the cursor. It is composed of the characters “Select”, an illustration of the effect button 34 used for determining the selection item (selection confirmation operation), and the characters “Determine”.

  Then, 1 (menu image is being displayed) is set in the menu image flag (S47), an initial value (for example, a value corresponding to 10 s) is set in the menu non-operation timer (S48), and the processing when the effect button is pressed is ended. To do. As described above, when the presentation button 34 is pressed while waiting for a customer and the menu image 118b is not displayed, the menu image 118b is displayed on the image display means 60.

  If the menu image flag is 1 (menu image is being displayed) in S42 (S42: Yes), a decision sound is output from the speakers 18 and 25 (S49) and the selection item image at the cursor position (temporary selection state). The specific process corresponding to is executed (S50 to S54). In other words, if there is a lower menu in the selection item image at the cursor position (S50: Yes), the lower menu is displayed (S51), and if the selection item image at the cursor position is “return” (S52: Yes). Returning to the previous state (S53), if there is no lower menu in the cursor position selection item image (S50: No) and it is not “return” (S52: No), the cursor position selection item Processing corresponding to the image is executed (S54). Then, an initial value (for example, a value corresponding to 10 s) is set in the menu no-operation timer (S48), and the process when the effect button is pressed is terminated. Thus, the act of pressing the effect button 34 in a state where the selection item image is displayed is an example of the selection confirmation operation for selecting the selection item image at the cursor position (temporary selection state).

  In the example of the menu image 118b shown in FIG. 25, the selection item image in which the lower menu exists is “mode change”. This “mode change” is for changing the mode setting. When this “mode change” is selected, a lower menu image 119 as shown in FIG. 26 is displayed. The lower menu image 119 includes a plurality of selection item images 164a to 164e (lower selection items) including a “menu screen” for returning to the first menu screen, and the initial position of the cursor is other than the “menu screen”. It is set to any one of the selection item images 164a to 164d.

In this embodiment, the arrangement of the first to fourth movable bodies 75a to 78a in the waiting state is different for each of a plurality of types, for example, four types of first to fourth modes. Can be performed by the menu operation of this “mode change”. In addition, since arrangement | positioning of the movable bodies 75a-78a differs for every mode, the movable concealment area | region C and the non-hidden area | region D also differ for every mode.

  In the first mode, as shown in FIG. 28A, the first movable body 75a is in the first upper position, the second movable body 76a is in the second lower position, and the third movable body 77a is in the third external position. The fourth movable body 78a is stopped at the fourth external position. Further, in the second mode, as shown in FIG. 28 (b), only the stop position of the first movable body 75a is changed from the first upper position to the first lower position with respect to the first mode. On the other hand, the lower side of the non-hiding region D is narrowed and the upper side is widened.

  Further, in the third mode, as shown in FIG. 28C, the second movable body 76a is changed from the second lower position to the second upper position with respect to the first mode, and is more concealed than the first mode. The lower side of the region D is narrow. In the fourth mode, as shown in FIG. 28 (d), the third and fourth movable bodies 77a and 78a are moved from the third and fourth external positions to the third and fourth internal positions, respectively, with respect to the third mode. The width of the non-hiding region D is narrower than that in the third mode. In the initial state, it is assumed that the first mode is set.

  When the lower menu image 119 corresponding to this “mode change” is displayed, as shown in FIG. 26, the initial position of the cursor is set to a selection item image corresponding to the mode at that time (in the initial state, corresponding to the first mode). It is desirable to set the selection item image 164a) to be selected, but regardless of the mode at that time, the selection item image 164e corresponding to the “menu screen” for returning to the first menu screen is set to the initial position of the cursor. May be.

  Note that a lower menu may be provided in any of the selection item images of the lower menu image 119. That is, the number of menu hierarchies is arbitrary. In addition, the initial position of the cursor when moving to a specific menu image may be different between when moving from a higher-order menu image and when moving from a lower-order menu image. The initial position of the cursor when returning from the menu image is desirably set to a selection item image for moving to a higher level, such as “menu screen”, “return”, and the like.

  In the example of the menu image shown in FIG. 25, the selection item image having no lower menu is “history”, and when the selection of this “history” is determined, the jackpot history as shown in FIG. Information is displayed. Even when the selection of a selection item image that does not have such a lower menu is determined, as shown in FIG. 27, the image display means 60 has a “menu screen” or the like for returning to a higher menu such as a menu screen. And a menu operation notification image 118c for informing the selection item determination operation are displayed.

  Also, the process when the upper key is pressed when the upper key 35a of the cross operation means 35 is pressed (S26 in FIG. 21), and the process when the lower key is pressed when the lower key 35b is pressed (S28 in FIG. 21). The procedure shown in FIG. 23 is performed. FIG. 23 shows a flowchart of processing when the up key is pressed, and only the difference between the processing when the down key is pressed and the processing when the down key is pressed is shown in parentheses. Here, the process when the upper key is pressed will be described, and the process when the lower key is pressed will be referred to.

  In the process when the up key (down key) shown in FIG. 23 is pressed, it is first determined whether or not the menu image flag is 1, that is, whether or not the menu image is being displayed (S61). If it is not 1, that is, if a menu image or the like is not being displayed (S61: No), the process when the up key (down key) is pressed is terminated here.

  If the menu image flag is 1, that is, if a menu image or the like is being displayed (S61: Yes), it is determined whether or not the cursor position is the highest position (the lowest position in the case of processing when the down key is pressed). (S62), if it is not the highest position (the lowest position in the case of processing when the down key is pressed) (S62: No), the cursor is moved up by one (down in the case of processing when the down key is pressed) (S64) If the position is the highest position (the lowest position in the case of processing when the down key is pressed) (S62: Yes), the cursor is moved to the lowest position (the highest position in the case of processing when the down key is pressed) (S63). ). Then, a cursor moving sound is output from the speakers 18 and 25 (S65), and an initial value (for example, a value corresponding to 10 s) is set in the menu non-operation timer (S66), and processing when the up key (down key) is pressed is performed. finish.

  As described above, the up / down keys 35a and 35b of the cross operation means 35 enable the menu selection operation in a state where the menu image 118b is displayed, the up key 35a makes the cursor upward, and the down key 35b makes the cursor downward. The cursor is moved in a cyclic manner through a plurality of selection item images by the continuous operation.

  Returning to FIG. 21, the description will be continued. Following the processing of S23 to S28 as described above, it is determined whether or not the value of the menu no-operation timer is 0 (S29). If the value of the menu no-operation timer is not 0, that is, the effect button 34 If the predetermined time (for example, 10 s) has not elapsed since the last time either one of the up and down keys 35a and 35b of the cross operation means 35 was last operated, the menu management process is terminated here.

  If the value of the menu no-operation timer is 0 in S29, that is, when a predetermined time (for example, 10 s) has elapsed since any of the effect button 34 and the up / down keys 35a and 35b of the cross operation means 35 is last operated. (S29: Yes), the display of the menu image 118b and the menu operation notification image 118c is terminated (S31, S32) on condition that the menu image flag is 1 (menu image or the like is being displayed) (S30: Yes). ), The display of the menu displayable notification image 118a is started (S33), and the menu image flag is set to 0 (S34), and the menu management process is ended. As described above, when the non-operation period during menu display reaches a predetermined time (for example, 10 s), the display of the menu image 118b and the like is ended, and the operation is waited.

  The power saving mode setting means 158 is for setting the power saving mode. When the power saving mode that lowers the power consumption than the normal mode is selected, the power saving mode setting means 158 sets the power saving mode while waiting for the customer and is in the power saving mode. A power-saving mode notification image 120 (FIG. 29, etc.) indicating that this is displayed on the image display means 60. During the power saving mode, the power supply to the electrical decoration means 159 is stopped. Note that a switching operation means for selecting either the normal mode or the power saving mode may be provided on the back side of the front frame 3 or the like so that a person in charge of the game hall can operate.

  In addition, when the volume is set within a predetermined range (for example, the first stage among the first to fifth stages), the power saving mode is set, and in other cases, the normal mode is set. The normal mode and the power saving mode may be automatically switched according to the setting status of the setting item (for example, volume).

  Next, the relationship between various images displayed on the image display unit 60 and the areas A, B1 to B5, C, and D on the display screen 60a of the image display unit 60 will be described for each of various scenes.

  FIG. 30A shows a display image of the image display means 60 in one scene in the customer waiting state. In the example of FIG. 30 (a), it is assumed that the first mode (FIG. 28 (a)) and the power saving mode are set, and that the customer waiting normal effect is being performed. FIG. 30B shows the correspondence between each image in FIG. 30A and the area on the display screen 60a. In FIG. 30B, the lower the image, the higher the display priority (the same applies to FIGS. 31B to 38B).

  As shown in FIGS. 30 (a) and 30 (b), a background image 160 (shown in gray in FIG. 30 (a)) is displayed on the display screen 60a for the entire screen area A, and the immediately preceding pattern is displayed. An image of the effect symbol 114 in a state stopped by fluctuation is displayed across the non-hiding area D and the movable hiding area C. Of the effect symbols 114, the entire symbol image 114a is displayed in the non-hiding area D, and a part of the decoration image 114b is displayed behind the movable hiding area C and the first movable body 75a. Thereby, the limited non-hidden area | region D can be utilized effectively, notifying the result of the last symbol fluctuation clearly.

  Of the three effect symbols 114 of the left, right, and center, the left and right effect symbols 114 are displayed across the non-hiding area D and at least one of the first to third fixed hiding areas B1 to B3. Also good. Thereby, the space | interval of three production | presentation symbols 114 can be ensured widely, and it is possible to alert | report more clearly the result of a symbol fluctuation | variation using the limited non-hiding region D effectively. In this case, the portion displayed in the first to third fixed concealment areas B1 to B3 is preferably the decorative image 114b, but a part of the design image 114a is displayed in the first to third fixed concealment areas B1 to B3. May be.

  The layout such as the size of the decoration image 114b may be varied depending on the type (number) of the design image 114a. In this case, the decoration image 114b is displayed across the non-hiding area D and a predetermined hiding area (any of the hiding areas described above) even if the decoration image 114b differs depending on the type of the design image 114a. May be. Further, some decorative images 114b may be displayed across the non-hidden area D and a predetermined hidden area, and other decorative images 114b may be displayed only in the non-hidden area D. Further, the layout of the decoration image 114b may be varied according to the variation lines of the three effect symbols 114 of the left, right, and center.

  The decoration image 114b is displayed across the non-hiding area D and the predetermined hiding area. However, it is desirable that the decoration image 114b be configured in this manner, for example, when the design is stopped. In the symbol variation state, it is not necessary to display over the non-obscuration region D and the predetermined concealment region, and various display configurations may be made according to the symbol variation state.

  A predetermined animation may be added to the design image 114a and the decoration image 114b. For example, the symbol image 114a and the decorative image 114b are animated when the symbol starts to change, temporarily stops, reaches or symbols stop, or when the symbol stops in a disengaged manner, or the symbol stops in a winning manner. Also good. Further, there may be a plurality of animation operations, and they may be made different depending on the type of the design image 114a and the decoration image 114b or the above-described situation. Even when such an animation is executed, the decoration image 114b may be displayed across the non-hidden area D and a predetermined hidden area.

  Alternatively, the animation may be displayed across the non-hidden area D and a predetermined hidden area, and may be displayed only in the non-hidden area D when not executed. Further, as an opposite configuration, the animation may be displayed only in the non-hidden area D during execution, and may be displayed across the non-hidden area D and a predetermined hidden area during non-execution. By doing so, the visibility of the decorative image 114b can be improved at least when the animation is executed.

  The decoration image 114b and the design image 114a of the effect design 114 are changed according to the game state (normal / short time / latency / probability change), the game mode (background A / background B), the special game mode (prefetch mode), and the like. May be. In this case, depending on the game state, the game mode, and the special game mode, the case where the decoration image 114b is displayed across the non-hiding area D and the predetermined hiding area is different from the case where it is displayed only in the non-hiding area D. You may comprise as follows.

  The error notification image 163, the menu displayable notification image 118a, the volume adjustable notification image 116a, and the light amount adjustable notification image 116b are all displayed in the non-hiding area D. Since these images have higher display priority than the effect symbol 114, they are displayed on the front side when they overlap a part of the effect symbol 114. In this case, the symbol image 114a is avoided and overlaps the decoration image 114b. It is desirable to display as follows.

  Note that the volume setting image 117a displayed when the player operates the left and right keys 35c and 35d while the volume adjustable notification image 116a is displayed, and the player selects the up and down keys 35a and 35a while the light amount adjustable notification image 116b is displayed. As for the light amount setting image 117b displayed when 35b is operated, the entire image is displayed in the non-hidden region D as shown in FIG. 30B (not shown in FIG. 30A).

  In addition, the reserved pedestal image 161 is displayed on the lower side of the display screen 60a at least a part of the non-hiding area D, the first to fifth fixed hiding areas B1 to B5, and the movable hiding area C (here, the first to fifth fixed areas). It is displayed across the concealment areas B1 to B5). Since both the first and second special reserved numbers are 0 in the customer waiting state, the reserved pedestal image 161 is less important. Therefore, at least a part of the reserved pedestal image 161 is displayed in an area other than the non-hidden area D so as not to be hidden. The area D can be used more effectively. The entire reserved pedestal image 161 may be displayed in an area other than the non-hidden area D, or the reserved pedestal image 161 may not be displayed.

  Further, the power saving mode notification image 120 is at least part of the non-hiding area D and the first to fifth fixed hiding areas B1 to B5 on the lower side of the display screen 60a and on the upper side of the reserved pedestal image 161 (here, the first non-hiding area D1). To the fourth fixed concealment areas B1 to B4). Since the power saving mode notification is less important than the error notification or the like, the non-hiding area D is used more effectively by displaying at least a part of the power saving mode notification image 120 in an area other than the non-hiding area D. it can.

  In addition, regarding the error notification image 163, when a plurality of errors are notified, all of the error notification images 163 corresponding to the plurality of errors may be displayed in the non-hidden region D. Further, when notifying a plurality of errors, up to a predetermined number (about 1 to 4), the error notification images 163 are displayed in the non-hidden region D, and when notifying an error exceeding a predetermined number, the predetermined number is set. The excess is displayed across the non-hidden region D and at least one of the first to fifth fixed concealed regions B1 to B5, or displayed in the first to fifth fixed concealed regions B1 to B5. May be.

  In addition, a display area may be set according to the content of the error, and an error notification image 163 regarding a lower plate full error that may occur in a normal game is displayed in the non-hidden area D, and in a normal game such as opening a door. You may make it display the error alert image 163 regarding the error which cannot generate | occur | produce at least one part in 1st-5th fixed concealment area | region B1-B5. In the case of a lower plate full error, it is desirable that the error notification image 163 be displayed in the non-hidden region D that is most easily visible to the player because the player needs to open the lower plate when the error is released.

  Also, regarding errors that may occur when a go-to action such as a magnetic detection error is made, it is necessary to warn the player that the go-to action may have been performed and to notify the hall employee. For this reason, it is desirable to display the error notification image 163 in the non-hidden area D that is most easily visible to the player or hall employee.

  FIG. 31A shows a state in which the menu image 118b is displayed on the display screen 60a. The menu image 118b is displayed when the player operates the effect button 34 during the menu operable period (waiting for customers). FIG. 31B shows the correspondence between each image in FIG. 31A and the area on the display screen 60a.

  As shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B, a background image 160 (shown in gray in FIG. 31A) is displayed on the entire screen area A on the display screen 60a and a menu image 118b. The four selection item images 164a to 164d and the menu operation notification image 118c are displayed. When this menu image 118b is displayed, the cursor (indicated by hatching in FIG. 31A) is positioned on the selection item image 164d corresponding to “return”.

  At least the selection item image (initial temporary selection item image) 164d corresponding to the initial cursor position is displayed in the non-hidden region D, while the other selection item images 164a to 164c are: At least one of them (here, the selection item image 164a corresponding to “history”) protrudes outside the non-hidden region D and into the non-hidden region D and the movable concealed region C (for example, the rear side of the first movable body 75a). The other (here, selection item images 164b and 164c) are displayed in the non-hidden area D. Further, the menu operation notification image 118c is entirely displayed in the non-hidden area D.

  In this way, by displaying the entire selection item image (initial temporary selection item image) corresponding to the initial cursor position in the non-hidden area D, the player can surely recognize the initial cursor position, It is possible to smoothly shift to subsequent cursor movement operations and selection confirmation operations. Further, at least one of the selection item images other than the initial cursor position is displayed across the non-hiding area D and the outer area (for example, the movable hiding area C), thereby making the non-hiding area D more effective. Available to: Of course, all of the four selection item images 164a to 164d constituting the menu image 118b may be displayed in the non-hidden region D.

  The menu operation notification image 118c is displayed only in the non-hiding area D, and the selection item images 164a to 164d corresponding to the initial cursor position and the other selection item images 164a to 164d are the non-hiding area D and the hiding area. You may make it display so that it may straddle. Even if configured in this way, each selection item is not in a state where it cannot be visually recognized, and at least the menu operation notification image 118c is visible, so that a predetermined menu operation is effective for the player. It is possible to notify that there is a certainty.

  The menu image 118b may have a first menu hierarchy and a second menu hierarchy in which the display screen 60a transitions when a selection item displayed in the first menu hierarchy is operated by the player. For example, if the menu hierarchy shown in FIG. 31 is the first menu hierarchy and mode change is selected among the selection items, a second menu hierarchy that allows selection of which mode to set is displayed. You may do it. The menu hierarchy is not limited to the first hierarchy and the second hierarchy, and a plurality of hierarchies may be provided. In the second menu layer or the like corresponding to each selection item selected by the player, it is desirable that the display mode is the same as that of the first menu layer. Further, the display mode may be different between the first menu layer and the second menu layer. However, it is desirable to change which display mode among the above display modes.

  Even when a predetermined error occurs during the display of the menu image 118b, it is desirable to display the error notification image 163 in the non-hiding area D. Further, it is desirable that the error notification image 163 is displayed so as to be superimposed on each selection item of the menu image 118b.

  Even when the menu image 118b is being displayed, the volume may be adjusted or the light amount may be adjusted by operating a predetermined operation unit or selecting and operating a predetermined selection item. . In this case, it is desirable that the volume setting image 117a or the light amount setting image 117b be displayed only in the non-hiding area D.

  When the movable bodies 75a and 76a move from the origin position toward the predetermined effect position, the movable bodies 75a and 76a may stop operating at the predetermined effect position due to problems or the like. Thus, even when the menu image 118b is displayed with the movable bodies 75a and 76a still in the effect position, the display mode of each selection item of the menu image 118b, the menu operation notification image 118c, etc. The error notification image 163, the sound volume setting image 117a, and the light amount setting image 117b are displayed at positions that do not overlap the movable bodies 75a and 76a, only in the non-hidden area D or across the non-hidden area D and the hidden area. It is desirable to configure as follows.

  When the movable body is initialized at power-on, RAM clear, or other predetermined timing, at least the selection item image (initial temporary selection item image) corresponding to the initial cursor position is the same as that at the time of initialization in front view. It is desirable to display at a position that does not overlap the movement path of the movable body. Thereby, even when a menu display operation is performed during the initialization of the movable body, the player can surely recognize the initial cursor position.

  Of the selection item image corresponding to the initial cursor position, portions other than the portion indicating the selection item name (for example, the character portion of “return”) overlap with the movement path of the movable body at the time of initialization in front view. It may be displayed. The menu operation notification image 118c is also desirably displayed at a position that does not overlap the movement path of the movable body at the time of initialization when viewed from the front.

  32 (a) and 33 (a) are examples of the variation of the production symbol 114 due to the reach variation pattern. FIG. 32 (a) is during normal variation before reach establishment, and FIG. 33 (a) is reach establishment. Each of the following changes in reach is shown. As is clear from FIGS. 32 (a) and 33 (a), the arrangement (stop position) of the movable body is different between the normal fluctuation shown in FIG. 32 (a) and the reach fluctuation shown in FIG. 33 (a). Thereby, the width of the non-hidden region D is different.

  That is, during the normal fluctuation shown in FIG. 32A, as in the fourth mode shown in FIG. 28D, the first movable body 75a is in the upper position, the second movable body 76a is in the upper position, , The fourth movable bodies 77a and 78a are stopped at the internal positions, respectively, but the second movable body 76a is positioned at the lower lower position as shown in FIG. In addition, the third and fourth movable bodies 77a and 78a move to the outer positions on the outside, respectively, so that the non-hiding area D is expanded on the lower side and the left and right sides, respectively. Note that the timing for changing the stop position of the movable body in the symbol variation by the reach variation pattern may be at the start of the reach effect, at the time of executing the pre-reading effect, at the time of execution of the movable object effect, at the end of the reach effect, or the like.

  Further, in response to the change (enlargement) of the non-hidden region D, the display mode of the image displayed on the display screen 60a also changes. That is, during the normal variation shown in FIG. 32, the reserved pedestal image 161 is displayed on the lower side of the display screen 60a at least a part of the non-hidden region D and the first to fifth fixed concealed regions B1 to B5 (here, the first to the first hidden regions). The fourth fixed concealment regions B1 to B4) are displayed across the display, and the hold display images X1 to Y1 and the changing hold image Z are displayed in front of the hold base image 161 and in the non-hidden region D. Has been. Note that all or part of the hold display images X1 to Y1 and the changing hold image Z may be arranged in at least one of the movable concealment region C and the first to fifth fixed concealment regions B1 to B5. In that case, it is desirable that the entire game can be visually recognized if the player looks into it.

  On the other hand, during the reach variation shown in FIG. 33, the suspended pedestal image 161 and the suspended display images X1 to Y1 are deleted while leaving the varying pending image Z, and the varying pending image Z is enlarged in the non-hidden region D. It moves to the side (here lower side), and is displayed straddling the non-hidden area D and its outer area (for example, the fourth fixed hidden area B4). Note that a part of the on-change pending image Z during the reach change is hidden behind the central display frame unit 47 in a front view, but if the player looks into it from the upper side, the entire image can be seen. ing.

  Thereby, coupled with the fact that the non-hidden area D is enlarged, a wider display area can be used for the reach effect. The reach effect image 171 in this case is desirably displayed for the entire screen area A as shown in FIG.

  The reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1 and the changing reserved image Z are moved downward in accordance with the movement of the second movable body 76a, and the reserved pedestal image 161 and the reserved display images X1 to X1,. Y1 may be displayed so as to disappear outside the display screen 60a, or may be displayed in an enlarged area without being erased. Alternatively, the reserved pedestal image 161 may be deleted, and the reserved display images X1 to Y1 and the changing hold image Z may be left in the enlarged area.

  In addition, with respect to the production symbol 114, during the normal variation shown in FIG. 32, a part of the decoration image 114b is displayed in a region outside the non-hidden region D (for example, the movable concealed region C), and the others are displayed in the non-hidden region D. 33, the decorative image 114b is deleted and only the symbol image 114a is displayed in the non-hidden region D during the reach variation shown in FIG.

  Further, the volume setting image 117a displayed when the player performs the volume adjustment operation is entirely non-hidden region D during both the normal fluctuation shown in FIG. 32 and the reach fluctuation shown in FIG. However, the display position may be moved to the enlargement side (for example, the lower side) of the non-hidden region D during reach fluctuation than during normal fluctuation. In this case, the movement of the display position of the volume setting image 117a is preferably performed after the movement of the second movable body 76a and the like is completed.

  This is to prevent the player from being informed of the shift to reach variation afterward due to the movement of the display position of the volume setting image 117a. The handling of the light amount setting image 117b (not shown in FIGS. 32A and 33A) displayed when the player performs the light amount adjustment operation is the same as that of the volume setting image 117a.

  Note that the volume setting image 117a, the light amount setting image 117b, and the like are displayed in the non-hidden area D during normal fluctuation (before the non-hiding area D is changed) and during reach fluctuation (after the non-hiding area D is changed). The image may be displayed in an area belonging to the non-hidden area D before and after the enlargement so that the display position is not moved when the reach changes. Moreover, when the position and / or width of the non-hidden region D can be changed by switching the stop position of the movable body during the symbol variation as in the examples of FIGS. It may be possible for the player to arbitrarily select such as. Further, during reach change, a medium effect symbol or the like during scroll change may be displayed larger than other left effect symbols, right effect symbols or the like. Thereby, the time which one production | presentation symbol passes on the display screen 60a by scrolling can be shortened.

  When the movable bodies 75a and 76a are moved from the origin position to the predetermined effect position during the reach fluctuation, the volume setting image 117a and / or the light amount setting are performed even when the movable bodies 75a and 76a are located at the predetermined effect position. It is desirable to display the image 117b in the non-hidden area D. Of course, the player can adjust the volume and / or the amount of light even in such a situation, but the setting result is actually reflected after the predetermined effect accompanying the operation of the movable bodies 75a and 76a is completed. It is desirable to do so. Further, even an effect that does not involve the operation of the movable bodies 75a and 76a may be configured as described above.

  By doing in this way, it becomes possible to perform without reducing the interest of the effect by the sound and the lamp at the time of executing the predetermined effect. In addition, since the setting operation by the player is accepted effectively instead of being invalid, there is no inconvenience or uncomfortable feeling that the setting operation suddenly becomes impossible for the player.

  FIG. 34A shows display areas of step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 displayed at each stage in the step-up notice effect that is an example of the normal notice effect. In this step-up notice effect, the jackpot reliability is suggested by the number of stages from the first stage to the fifth stage, and the step-up notice image SU1 is used to indicate the step-up notice. The display area gradually changes (enlarges here) to the image SU5.

  In the example of FIGS. 34A and 34B, the entire step-up notice image SU1 and the step-up notice image SU2 are displayed in the non-hiding area D, but part of the step-up notice image SU3 is not displayed. The concealment area D protrudes and is displayed in the movable concealment area C. In the step-up preview image SU4, not only the movable concealment area C but also the second to fifth fixed concealment areas B2 to B5 are expanded, and finally the step-up preview image is displayed. In SU5 (not shown in FIG. 34 (a)), it is displayed in the full screen area A (FIG. 34 (b)). Even if a part of the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 is displayed outside the non-hidden area D, a portion (character portion or the like indicating a character dialogue) suggesting the jackpot reliability or the like of each of the images is displayed. It is desirable to display the whole in the non-hidden area D.

  Further, when the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 are displayed at predetermined display positions, an introduction effect may be performed. Here, the introduction effect is to move the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 toward a predetermined display position or to display the introduction effect image immediately before displaying the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 at the predetermined display position. This is for informing the player of the occurrence of the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5. This introduction effect may be displayed so as to straddle all or at least one of the first to fifth fixed concealment regions B1 to B5 and the non-concealment region D.

  Further, the volume setting image 117a displayed when the player performs the volume adjustment operation is displayed entirely in the non-hidden area D, but the portion suggesting the jackpot reliability or the like (characters indicating the character dialogue) It is desirable to display while avoiding the part. The same applies to the light amount setting image 117b (not shown) displayed when the player performs the light amount adjustment operation (not shown in FIG. 34A). Note that the volume setting image 117a, the light amount setting image 117b, and the like may be displayed in an overlapping manner with a portion other than the portion suggesting the jackpot reliability or the like in the step-up notice image, an introduction effect, or the like.

  In this way, even when the step-up preview image is displayed using the majority of the non-hidden region D, the volume setting image 117a or the like can be displayed without impairing the visibility of the step-up preview image. The light quantity setting image 117b can be displayed in the non-hiding area D.

  When displaying the step-up preview images SU1 to SU5, the display basically starts from the step-up preview image SU1, and the step-up preview images SU2, SU3,. When displaying the next stage SU image, the previous SU image display may be deleted. Further, the next SU image may be displayed while being displayed without deleting the display of the previous SU image. In this case, it is desirable to display the next SU image so as to overlap a part of the previous SU image. Furthermore, a larger SU image may be displayed as the steps are repeated.

  Further, the next SU image is displayed so as to overlap the previous SU image. For example, the step-up preview image SU1 is displayed, and the step-up preview image SU2 is overlapped with at least a part of the step-up preview image SU1. When the step-up preview image SU3 is displayed so as to overlap at least a part of the step-up preview image SU2, the step-up preview image SU1 is deleted when the step-up preview image SU3 is displayed. Good. In addition, the step-up notice image SU1 may not be visually recognized by displaying the step-up notice image SU3 so as to overlap the step-up notice image SU1.

  It may be possible to execute a gase effect (failure effect) for step-up notice. Although it is possible to display each SU image of the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 in the gaze effect, the display mode is slightly different from that in the successful effect. For example, in the gase effect of the step-up notice image SU1, after the introduction effect of the step-up notice image SU1 is once executed, the non-executed step-up notice image SU1 (for example, a balloon alone is not displayed) is displayed. When the step-up preview image SU1 is executed, the step-up preview image SU1 in the execution state (characters and balloons are displayed) is displayed. Without being executed, the non-executed step-up preview image SU1 is deleted (with fade-out), and the step-up effect is ended.

  In this way, when the gaze effect is executed, the introductory effect or the non-executed SU image may be displayed in a predetermined display area for each step of the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5. Further, the step-up notice image SU5 may be configured such that no gasse effect is present.

  The display areas of the step-up notice images SU1 to SU5 are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various display modes may be used. For example, the display mode of the step-up preview image SU5 may be applied to the step-up preview image SU1 or the step-up preview image SU2, and the display mode of the step-up preview image SU1 or the step-up preview image SU2 may be applied to the step-up preview image SU3. -You may make it apply to -SU5. As described above, the display mode described above may be appropriately set for each SU image.

  FIG. 35A and FIG. 36A show display images of the image display means 60 in the button conversation notice effect that is an example of the normal notice effect. The button conversation notice effect is a combination of the button notice effect and the conversation notice effect. When the player operates the effect button 34 during the operation valid period, the operation shows the scene in which the character emits a dialogue. An effect image 165 is displayed, and the content of the dialogue suggests the jackpot reliability. During the operation valid period, an operation guidance image 166 indicating that the effect button (operation means) 34 should be operated is displayed.

  FIG. 35A shows a state where the operation guide image 166 is displayed during the operation effective period. The operation guidance image 166 is composed of an illustration showing a state in which the effect button 34 is pressed and the characters “PUSH!”, And the whole is displayed in the non-hiding area D. In addition, a radial or other effect image 167 is displayed around the operation guidance image 166 across the non-hidden region D and its outer region (here, the movable concealed region C and the third fixed concealed region B3). Has been.

  A gauge image indicating the progress of the operation valid period may be displayed. In this case, it is desirable to display the gauge image in the non-hiding area D. The operation guidance image 166 may be displayed so that a part thereof (for example, a portion showing the effect button 34) extends over at least one of the concealing regions B1 to B5 and C. It is desirable to display in the hidden area D. When a plurality of operation means are provided and a notice effect (button notice effect) corresponding to each of the plurality of operation means can be executed, each of the notice effects is preferably configured as described above. Further, when there is a difference in jackpot reliability or the like among a plurality of notice effects corresponding to a plurality of operation means, the above configuration may be configured only for a notice effect with high reliability.

  FIG. 36A shows a state where the player operates the effect button 34 in the state shown in FIG. 35A and the operation-time effect image 165 is displayed. This operation effect image 165 is composed of a first display unit 165a made up of characters representing dialogue that suggests jackpot reliability, and a second display unit 165b made up of other characters, balloons, etc. The entire display unit 165a is displayed in the non-hidden region D, and the second display unit 165b is the non-hidden region D and its outer region (here, the transparent concealed region B4a in the fourth fixed concealed region B4, Of course, it may be displayed across the other concealment areas B1 to B3, B5, and C). Since the transparent concealment region B4a is a region corresponding to the rear side of the transparent entry preventing unit 111, the second display portion 165b on the rear side of the entry preventing unit 111 can be visually recognized even from the front.

  Also, in both FIG. 35A and FIG. 36A, the changing effect design 114 is displayed in the non-hidden area D in a state where only the design image 114a is present, The entire volume setting image 117a displayed when the adjustment operation is performed is also displayed in the non-hiding area D.

Further, the display mode of the button image may be displayed in various display modes such as blue, green, red, and rainbow color according to the reliability of the lottery result of the variable display.

  It is desirable to display the volume setting image 117a and / or the light amount adjustment image 117b so that it does not overlap with the gauge image as well as the effect button image and the operation guidance image 166. In addition, when the operation effective period varies depending on the display mode of the effect button 34 and the display mode of the operation guide image 166, it is possible to increase or decrease the display area of the gauge image. It is desirable to display at a position that does not overlap the gauge image.

  In the execution of an effect accompanied by button operation such as a button conversation notice effect, it is natural that the player can adjust the volume and / or the light amount even in such a situation, but the setting result is actually reflected on the button. It is desirable that the operation effect is finished. However, the actual setting result may be reflected until at least the operation effective period in which the button image or gauge image is displayed, or after the operation by the player, the operation effect image is displayed. It may be displayed before the display is finished.

  By doing in this way, it becomes possible to perform without reducing the interest of the effect by the sound and the lamp at the time of executing the predetermined effect.

The pachinko machine of the present embodiment is structurally different from the pachinko machine of the first embodiment only in the configuration of the movable effect means. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for configurations common to both embodiments, and the description thereof is omitted unless particularly necessary.

  As shown in FIGS. 39 to 42, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has a plurality of, for example, two movable effect means, such as a tilt movable effect means 201 and an elevating / moving effect effect means 202, arranged on the front side of the back mounting base 61. . As shown in FIG. 41 and the like, the tilt movable effect unit 201 includes a tilt movable unit 203 and a tilt drive unit 204 that drives the tilt movable unit 203. The tilt movable means 203 includes a plurality of, for example, left, right, and lower three display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c, and two interlocking portions 203d and 203e that interlock the three display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c. The display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are supported from the rear side by mounting bases 205a to 205c fixed to the back mounting base 61, respectively.

  The left display frame movable body 203a is arranged on the front side corresponding to the left side portion of the image display means 60, and has a vertically long vertical frame portion and an upper left frame projecting from the upper end side of the vertical frame portion in a substantially right angle. The part is formed in a substantially L shape in front view. The left display frame movable body 203a is provided with a slide shaft 206 in the front-rear direction on the upper end side thereof, and the slide shaft 206 is slidable with respect to a vertical guide hole 207 provided in the mounting base 205a. As a result, the left display frame movable body 203a can slide in the vertical direction and rotate around the slide shaft 206.

  The right display frame movable body 203b is disposed on the front side corresponding to the right side portion of the image display means 60, and has a vertically long vertical frame portion and an upper right frame projecting from the upper end side of the vertical frame portion at a substantially right angle. The part is formed in a substantially L shape in front view. The right display frame movable body 203b is pivotally supported on the mounting base 205b by a longitudinal axis 208 provided on the lower end side thereof, and a rearward projecting slide portion 209 provided on the upper end side is provided on the mounting base 205b. By being slidably inserted into the arcuate guide hole 210 provided, the guide hole 210 can swing around the pivot 208 within a predetermined angle range.

  The lower display frame movable body 203c is disposed in a horizontally long shape on the front side corresponding to the lower side of the image display means 60, and is pivotally supported on the mounting base 205c via the pivot 211 in the front-rear direction on the right end side. . Note that a slide portion 212 is provided on the left end side of the lower display frame movable body 203c so as to protrude rearward, and the slide portion 212 is slidably inserted into an arcuate guide hole 213 formed in the mounting base 205c. Thus, the lower display frame movable body 203c can swing around the pivot 211 between a substantially horizontal normal posture and a left-down inclined posture.

  The left interlocking portion 203d interlocks the left display frame movable body 203a and the lower display frame movable body 203c, and is formed in a substantially triangular plate shape when viewed from the front, and the upper corner is the pivot 214 in the front-rear direction. The lower display frame movable body 203a is connected to the lower end side of the lower display frame movable body 203a through the lower display frame movable body 203c. The front and rear slide shaft 215 is inserted into the substantially horizontal guide hole 216 provided on the left end side of the lower display frame movable body 203c. The remaining left corner is pivotally supported on the mounting base 205a via a pivot 217 in the front-rear direction.

  Accordingly, when the lower display frame movable body 203c shifts from the normal posture to the inclined posture, the left interlocking portion 203d rotates clockwise around the pivot 217, and the pivot 214 moves downward on the right side. 203a swings counterclockwise while moving downward, and shifts from a normal posture in which the vertical frame portion is substantially vertical to an inclined posture in which the vertical frame portion is inclined downward to the right (FIG. 43 (a). ) → (b)).

  The right interlocking portion 203e interlocks the right display frame movable body 203b and the lower display frame movable body 203c, and is formed in an elongated shape. One end side of the right interlocking frame movable body 203b via the pivot 218 in the front-rear direction is provided. The lower corner portion is connected to the right end side of the lower display frame movable body 203c via a pivot 219 in the front-rear direction. The pivot 218 is disposed on the right display frame movable body 203b at a position spaced to the right with respect to the pivot 208, and the pivot 219 is disposed on the lower display frame movable body 203c at a position spaced to the right with respect to the pivot 211. Is arranged.

  As a result, when the lower display frame movable body 203c shifts from the normal posture to the inclined posture, the pivot 218 is pushed up via the right interlocking portion 203e. Therefore, the right display frame movable body 203b swings counterclockwise around the pivot 208. As a result, the vertical frame portion shifts from a normal posture in which the vertical frame portion is substantially vertical to an inclined posture in which the vertical frame portion is inclined to the right (FIG. 43 (a) → (b)).

  As described above, when the lower display frame movable body 203c swings between the normal posture and the tilted posture, the left display frame movable body 203a and the right display frame movable body 203b are also linked between the normal posture and the tilted posture. Change. That is, the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c have a normal posture (FIGS. 43 (a) and 43 (c)) that substantially surrounds a part of the display screen 60a of the image display means 60 in a front view, and the left from the normal posture. It is possible to deform between an inclined posture (FIGS. 43B and 43D) inclined at a predetermined angle. Note that the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are biased toward the inclined posture by their own weight.

  As shown in FIG. 41, the tilt driving means 204 is provided on the same mounting base 205c as the lower display frame movable body 203c, and displays a driving source 221 such as a stepping motor and the driving force of the driving source 221 on the lower side. And a drive transmission member 222 that transmits to the movable frame body 203c. The drive transmission member 222 is constituted by a spur gear mounted on the mounting base 205c so as to be rotatable around a longitudinal axis 222a, and the drive gear 221a mounted on the drive shaft of the drive source 221 meshes. Yes. The drive transmission member 222 is provided with a protruding first engaging portion 223 on the side surface corresponding to a part of the circumferential direction thereof, and the lower display frame movable body 203c has the first engaging portion 223. The 2nd engaging part 224 corresponding to is provided.

  The first engagement portion 223 is a second engagement on the lower display frame movable body 203c side at the first angular position when the drive transmission member 222 is rotated in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise) by driving of the drive source 221. After contacting the portion 224 from below, the second engagement portion 224 is pushed upward as the rotation progresses, and the lower display frame is movable when the drive transmission member 222 reaches the second angular position. The body 203c is arranged in a normal posture. Therefore, from this state, when the drive transmission member 222 is rotated in the reverse direction (for example, counterclockwise) by driving the drive source 221, the support position of the second engagement portion 224 by the first engagement portion 223 is gradually lowered. When the drive transmission member 222 reaches the first angular position, the lower display frame movable body 203c is inclined. Thus, by operating the drive source 221 in both directions within a predetermined step range, the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are placed in the normal posture (FIGS. 43A and 43C) and the tilted posture (FIG. 43B). , (D)).

  As shown in FIG. 42 and the like, the up-and-down movable effect means 202 includes a sub-screen movable body 231 and an up-and-down drive means 232 that drives the sub-screen movable body 231 in the vertical direction. Is arranged. The sub-screen movable body 231 is arranged in a horizontally long shape on the front side of the image display means 60, and a sub-image display means 233 made of a liquid crystal display means smaller than the image display means 60 together with an arbitrary decoration is arranged on the front side. The left and right ends are supported by a pair of elevating drive means 232 and 232 disposed on the left and right sides of the image display means 60 so as to be movable in the vertical direction via drive coupling bodies 234 and 234, respectively. Yes.

  The elevating drive means 232 is supported by the back mounting base 61 via a vertically long mounting base 235, arranged along the side edge of the image display means 60 from the upper end side to the lower end side, and the drive coupling body 234 is arranged. An elongate cylindrical elevating guide 236 that guides in the vertical direction, a drive pulley 237a disposed in the vicinity corresponding to one end side and lower end side of the elevating guide 236, and the other end side and upper end side of the elevating guide 236 Correspondingly, a driven pulley 237b disposed in the vicinity thereof, a driving source 238 such as a stepping motor that rotationally drives the driving pulley 237a, and a predetermined portion on the periphery of the driving pulley 237a and the driven pulley 237b. And an endless gear belt 239 to which the drive coupling body 234 is fixed. The end of the sub-screen movable body 231 is front and rear in the drive coupling body 234. It is connected rotatably by pivot 240 countercurrent.

  In addition, one of the left and right pivots 240, 240 is slidably connected to a left and right elongated hole 241 provided on the sub-screen movable body 231 side or the drive connecting body 234 side. Even when the ascending / descending drive means 232 and 232 perform an asymmetric drive operation, they can be followed by inclining the sub-screen movable body 231 within a predetermined range.

  The sub-screen movable body 231 of the present embodiment has an upper normal posture (FIG. 43 (a)) when the left and right lifting drive means 232, 232 are both stopped at the upper position, and a left / right lifting relative to the upper normal posture. The upper inclined posture when the driving means 232 is lowered by a predetermined step (FIG. 43B) and the lower normal posture when the left and right lifting driving means 232 and 232 are both stopped at the lower position (FIG. 43C). And a lower inclined posture (FIG. 43 (d)) in the case where the right raising / lowering driving means 232 is raised by a predetermined step with respect to the lower normal posture, can be changed between four types of stop postures.

  The sub-screen movable body 231 is substantially horizontal in the upper and lower normal postures (FIGS. 43A and 43C), and is displayed in the upper and lower inclined postures (FIGS. 43B and 43D). The frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are inclined downward to the left corresponding to the inclination postures. Since the sub-image display unit 233 operates integrally with the sub-screen movable body 231, the sub-image display means 233 is substantially horizontal when the sub-screen movable body 231 is in the normal posture, and has a downwardly inclined shape when it is in the tilted posture.

  FIG. 44 is a block diagram of the control system of this pachinko machine. The control system of the present embodiment is different from the control system of the first embodiment (FIG. 11) in that the control target of the image display control means 150a is the image display means 60 and the sub image display means 233. The control object of the movable body control means 150d is that the tilt movable effect means 201 and the lift movable effect means 202 are used.

  Further, in this embodiment, at least one of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c of the tilt movable presentation means 201 and the sub-screen movable body 231 of the lift movable presentation means 202 is changed from the normal posture to the tilt posture. In accordance with this, it is possible to perform an inclination effect in which at least a part of the image on the image display means 60 is also inclined and displayed, and the symbol variation effect control means 152, the image display control means 150a, etc. execute the inclination effect. This is also different from the control system of the first embodiment (FIG. 11) in that it has a configuration for doing so.

  Here, the inclination deformation is a rotation process (predetermined deformation process) for rotating a predetermined image around a predetermined center by a predetermined angle of less than 90 degrees (predetermined deformation process). This substantially coincides with the inclination angle of the movable body 231 in the inclined posture.

  Hereinafter, a configuration for executing the tilt effect will be described. First, the images displayed on the image display means 60 and the sub-image display means 233 are drawn separately for each display means 60 and 233 in a plurality of layers set with a predetermined priority. .

  In the example of FIG. 49 (a), a background image displayed on the image display means 60, an effect design (symbol image), a character image, a reserved pedestal image, a reserved display image, a changing hold image, a volume setting image, an error notification image. In addition, the sub-effect design is drawn in a plurality of layers so that the display priority becomes higher in that order. Also, as shown in FIG. 49 (b), the background image and the bubble effect image displayed on the sub image display means 233 are similarly drawn in a plurality of layers so that the display priority becomes higher in that order. It has come to be.

  In addition, deformation information regarding whether or not to perform a predetermined deformation (here, an inclination deformation) is added to each image displayed on the image display means 60 and the sub-image display means 233, and the image to be deformed is added. 1 is set for each image, and 0 is set for an image that is not deformed.

  In the example of FIG. 49A, 0 (no deformation) is used for the deformation information of the right-handed guidance image, the volume setting image, the error notification image, and the sub-effects design, and the other background image, the design information, etc. 1 (with deformation) is set, and in the example of FIG. 49B, 0 (no deformation) is set in the deformation information of all images displayed on the sub-image display means 233.

  In the present embodiment, when the sub-screen movable body 231 is tilted, the sub-image display means 233 on the sub-screen movable body 231 is also inclined downward to the left, so that it is displayed on the sub-image display means 233. Even if the image is not inclined with respect to the sub-image display unit 233, the image is inclined with respect to the image display unit 60 and the like. That is, in the present embodiment, the image displayed on the sub image display unit 233 is not image processing called tilt deformation, but the sub image display unit 233 is tilted via the sub screen movable body 231 to the image display unit 60 or the like. It is designed to incline against.

  Next, the drawing process on the image display unit 60 by the image display control unit 150a will be described. In the present embodiment, among a plurality of types of images displayed on the image display means 60, those that perform inclination deformation and those that do not perform inclination are mixed. Therefore, instead of drawing all the images uniformly in the frame buffer for the image display means 60, what is a frame buffer for an image subjected to tilt deformation (an image whose deformation information is 1) as shown in FIG. Draw in the frame buffer via another primary buffer, and perform transformation processing when drawing from the primary buffer to the frame buffer. For images that do not undergo tilt transformation (images with no transformation information), go through the primary buffer. It is designed to draw directly in the frame buffer without doing so.

  In addition, the tilt deformation process (rotation process) performed at the time of drawing from the primary buffer to the frame buffer is performed according to the procedures shown in FIGS. That is, first, image data in the primary buffer is read (S101). Also, coordinate axes (x, y), radius (r), and rotation angle (a) are designated (S102 to S104), and the coordinates of the four vertices 0 to 3 are calculated (S105).

  Then, the UV coordinates (upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right) of the read image data are designated (S106), and the UV coordinates of the image data are fixed to the coordinates of vertices 0 to 3 and drawn in the frame buffer (S107). . As a result, the image in the primary buffer can be drawn in the frame buffer by being rotated by a predetermined angle around a predetermined center (FIG. 47).

  Subsequently, a specific example of the tilt effect will be described with reference to display examples of various images displayed on the image display means 60 and the sub-image display means 233, and display priorities of these various images and setting contents of deformation information. To do.

  FIG. 48 shows the operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the sub-screen movable body 231 when the tilt notice effect is executed, and the change in the display image associated therewith. Here, the tilt notice effect (tilt effect) is an example of the “normal notice effect”, and the movable body and the image are inclined based on, for example, the jackpot reliability during the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols. It has become. In the tilt notice effect of FIG. 48, the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are changed from the normal posture to the inclined posture, and the sub-screen movable body 231 is changed from the upper normal posture to the upper inclined posture.

  In the example of FIG. 48, the background image 160, the effect design (design image) 114a, the character image 251, the reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1, and the variation are displayed on the image display means 60 in order of decreasing priority. The middle hold image Z, the right-handed guidance image 162b, the volume setting image 117a, the error notification image 163, and the sub-effects design 252 are displayed, and the background image 160a and the bubble effect image are displayed on the sub-image display means 233 in order of priority. In the state where 253 is displayed, the tilt notice effect is executed as shown in FIGS. 48 (a) → (b). The secondary effect symbol 252 is a so-called fourth symbol displayed separately from the effect symbol 114, and always corresponds to the variation of the first and second special symbols while the first and second special symbols vary. The image display means 60 is variably displayed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 49, the deformation information of each image includes a right-handed guidance image 162b, a volume setting image 117a, an error notification image 163, a sub-effects design 252 displayed on the image display means 60, and a sub-image. All images displayed on the display means 233 are set to 0 (no deformation), and other images are set to 1 (with deformation).

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 48 (a) → (b), when the tilt notice effect is executed, the background image 160, the effect design (design image) 114a, the character image 251, the reserved base image 161, the on hold on the image display means 60. The display images X1 to Y1 and the changing pending image Z are tilted to the left together with the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c due to the tilt deformation, but the right-handed guiding image 162b and the volume setting image 117a having higher priority than those images. The error notification image 163 and the sub-effects design 252 are not tilted and maintained in an upright state.

  Since each image displayed on the sub-image display unit 233 is not tilted and deformed (FIG. 49B), the sub-image display unit 233 stands upright without tilting even when the tilt notice effect is executed. Although the state is maintained, as shown in FIG. 48 (b), the sub-image display unit 233 itself is tilted by the tilt notice effect, so that the background image 160 on the image display unit 60 side with respect to the image display unit 60 and the like. It will be in the state inclined like the effect design (symbol image) 114a.

  As described above, the right-handed guidance image 162b, the sound volume setting image 117a, the error notification image 163, and the secondary effect symbol 252 displayed on the image display means 60 are tilted during the display thereof, and the background effect image is generated. Even when the tilt deformation is performed on 160 or the like, the tilt deformation is not performed. Thereby, it is possible for the player to easily and surely recognize various important notification contents while performing a tilt notice effect on the image display means 60.

  FIG. 50 shows a change in the display image when a door opening error occurs during the execution of the tilt notice effect, or when the player performs a volume adjustment operation. Note that the priority and variation information of each image regarding the tilt notice effect are the same as those in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 50A, when the tilt notice effect is executed while the second special symbol is changing, the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the sub-screen movable body 231 are tilted and tilted to the left. . And among each image displayed on the image display means 60, the background image 160, the effect design (symbol image) 114a, the character image 251, the reservation pedestal image 161, the reservation display images X1 to Y1, and the change in hold Since the deformation information for the image Z is 1 (with deformation), tilt deformation is performed and the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the like are tilted to the left side. However, the deformation information is 0 (no deformation) for the sub-effects design 252. For this reason, no tilting deformation is performed and the upright state is maintained. Each image displayed on the sub-image display means 233 is not deformed because the deformation information is 0. However, the image is tilted to the left with respect to the image display means 60 and the like due to the inclination of the sub-image display means 233 itself. It becomes the state.

  If a door opening error occurs in this state, an error notification image 163 is displayed on the image display means 60 as shown in FIG. 50B. The deformation information for this error notification image 163 is 0 (no deformation). (FIG. 49 (a)), it is displayed in an upright state without being tilted. Similarly, when the player performs a volume adjustment operation during the execution of the tilt notice effect, a volume setting image 117a is displayed on the image display means 60 as shown in FIG. 50 (c). Since the deformation information is 0 (no deformation) for the image 117a (FIG. 49 (a)), the image 117a is displayed in an upright state without being inclined.

  Although illustration is omitted, even when the right-handed guiding image 162b is displayed on the image display means 60 during the execution of the tilt notice effect, the deformation information for the right-handed guiding image 162b is 0 (no deformation). Because of this (FIG. 49 (a)), it is displayed in an upright state without being subjected to tilt deformation.

  FIG. 51 shows the operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the sub-screen movable body 231 and the change in the display image associated therewith during the execution of the tilt-down notice effect. Here, the tilt descent notice effect is an example of the “normal notice effect” similar to the tilt notice effect shown in FIG. 48 and the like, and the movable body is based on the jackpot reliability during the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols. However, unlike the tilt notice effect, the sub-screen movable body 231 is not simply tilted, but also changes from the upper normal posture to the lower inclined posture with the descent. (FIG. 43 (a) → (d)).

  In the example of FIG. 51, the background image 160, the effect design (symbol image) 114a, the character images 250 and 251, the reserved base image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1 and the variation are displayed on the image display means 60 in order of decreasing priority. 51 (a) → (b) in a state in which the middle reserved image Z and the sub-effects design 252 are displayed, and the background image and the bubble effect image 253 are displayed on the sub image display means 233 in order of priority. The descent notice effect is executed as shown in FIG.

  When the sub-screen movable body 231 descends while tilting from the upper side of the image display means 60 to the approximate center due to the tilt-down notice effect, the character image 250 on the image display means 60 is displayed as shown in FIG. The sub screen movable body 231 changes to a position and mode related to the movement operation and the post-movement posture, for example, the sub screen movable body 231 is pushed obliquely downward from the upper side, and the sub screen movable body after the movement A movable body effect image 254 corresponding to H.231 is displayed.

  As described above, with respect to the character image 250 and the movable body effect image 254 displayed in association with the motion of the sub-screen movable body 231, the deformation information is 1 (with deformation) as shown in FIG. Therefore, the sub-screen movable body 231 is displayed in a tilted manner according to the tilt deformation.

  When the sub-screen movable body 231 descends while tilting due to the tilt-down notice effect (FIG. 51 (b)), the effect design 114 changes to a smaller retraction symbol 255 while avoiding the sub-screen movable body 231 and the image display means 60. However, since the deformation information is 0 (no deformation) as shown in FIG. 52 (a), the evacuation symbol 255 is displayed in an upright state without being inclined and deformed. As for other background images 160 displayed on the image display means 60, the reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1, the on-change changing image Z, and the secondary effect design 252 as shown in FIG. Since the deformation information is 0 (no deformation), the inclined deformation is not performed and the upright state is maintained. Each image displayed on the sub-image display means 233 is not deformed because the deformation information is 0. However, the image is tilted to the left with respect to the image display means 60 and the like due to the inclination of the sub-image display means 233 itself. It becomes the state.

  As described above, the image displayed in association with the movable body may be subjected to the tilt deformation in accordance with the operation of the movable body, and the other images may not be subjected to the tilt deformation.

  FIG. 53 shows the operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the sub-screen movable body 231 when the tilt notice effect is executed at the start of symbol change (immediately after the start), and the change in the display image associated therewith.

  As shown in FIG. 53 (a), at the start of symbol variation, the background image 160, the effect symbol 114a, the reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1-Y1, Y1- The hold image Z, the volume setting image 117a, and the sub-effects design 252 are displayed, and the background image 160a and the bubble effect image 253 are displayed on the sub image display means 233 in order of priority, immediately after the start of the design change. The notice effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 53B, the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are changed from the normal posture to the inclined posture, and the sub-screen movable body 231 is changed from the upper normal posture to the upper inclined posture, as shown in FIG. Move along the time chart. Further, among the images displayed on the image display means 60, the background image 160, the production pattern 114, the reserved base image 161, the reserved display image whose deformation information shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 55, X1 to Y1 and the on-change pending image Z are subjected to tilt deformation in synchronization with the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c, and are gradually tilted and displayed on the left side.

  In addition, when the tilting operations of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the like are completed, an effect image 256 (deformation information: 1) indicating a crack is displayed on the image display unit 60 in a tilted state in accordance with the effect symbol 114 and the like. Is done.

  On the other hand, the deformation information for other images displayed on the image display means 60, that is, the volume setting image 117a and the sub-effects design 252 is 0 (no deformation) as shown in FIG. The tilt deformation is not performed and the upright state is maintained. Each image displayed on the sub-image display means 233 is not deformed because the deformation information is 0. However, the image is tilted to the left with respect to the image display means 60 and the like due to the inclination of the sub-image display means 233 itself. It becomes the state.

  The tilt notice effect ends at a predetermined timing thereafter, and the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are changed from the tilted posture to the normal posture, and the sub-screen movable body 231 is moved from the upper tilted posture as shown in FIG. 53 (b) → (a). Return to the upper normal posture. The return operation at the end of the tilt notice effect is performed at a lower speed than the tilt operation at the start of the tilt notice effect as shown in FIG.

  Also, among the images displayed in the inclined deformation state on the image display means 60, the background image 160, the production pattern 114, the reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1 and the changing pending image Z are reversed. As shown in FIG. 55, the direction is gradually deformed, and gradually returns to the upright state in synchronization with the return operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the like. On the other hand, the effect image 256 indicating the crack displayed when the tilting operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c is completed is erased from the image display means 60 almost simultaneously with the start of the return operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c. Is done.

  FIG. 56 shows the operation of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the sub-screen movable body 231 and the change in the display image associated therewith when the tilt descent notice effect is executed at the start of the symbol variation (substantially simultaneously with the start). ing. As shown in FIG. 56 (a), at the start of symbol variation, the background image 160, the reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1, the changing hold image Z, The save symbol 255, the volume setting image 117a, and the sub-effects symbol 252 are displayed, and the background image 160a and the bubble effect image 253 are displayed on the sub-image display means 233 in order of priority, At about the same time, the tilt notice effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 56 (b), the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c are changed from the normal posture to the inclined posture, and the sub-screen movable body 231 is changed from the upper normal posture to the lower inclined posture. It moves along the time chart shown. In addition, the background image 160 displayed on the image display means 60, the holding base image 161, the holding display images X1 to Y1, the changing holding image Z, the evacuation symbol 255, the volume setting image 117a, and the sub-effects symbol 252 are: As shown in FIG. 57 (a), since all the deformation information is 0 (no deformation), the inclined deformation is not performed and the upright state is maintained. Each image displayed on the sub-image display means 233 is not deformed because the deformation information is 0. However, the image is tilted to the left with respect to the image display means 60 and the like due to the inclination of the sub-image display means 233 itself. It becomes the state.

  Further, when the sub-screen movable body 231 descends while tilting from the upper side of the image display means 60 to substantially the center by the tilt-down notice effect, the character image 250 and the movable body are almost simultaneously with the completion of the operation as shown in FIG. The effect image 254 is displayed on the image display means 60.

  The character image 250 and the movable body effect image 254 are inclined and deformed because the deformation information is set to 1 (with deformation) as shown in FIG. 57A, and the sub-screen movable body 231 is moved. For example, the character image 250 pushes the sub-screen movable body 231 obliquely downward from the upper side, and the movable-body effect image 254 follows the periphery of the sub-screen movable body 231 and the character image 250. Are displayed respectively.

  At a predetermined timing thereafter, the tilt-down notice effect ends, and as shown in FIG. 56 (b) → (a), the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c change from the tilted posture to the normal posture, and the sub-screen movable body 231 tilts downward. The posture returns to the upper normal posture. As shown in FIG. 58, the return operation at the end of the tilt-down notice effect is performed at a lower speed than the tilt operation at the start of the tilt-down notice effect.

  At that time, the character image 250 and the movable body effect image 254 displayed on the image display means 60 in the inclined deformation state are erased substantially simultaneously with the start of the return operation of the sub-screen movable body 231 and the like. Then, the image display means 60 includes a background image 160 that has been maintained in an upright state without being inclined and deformed even during the tilt-down notice effect, the reserved pedestal image 161, the reserved display images X1 to Y1, and the changing pending image. Z, evacuation symbol 255, etc. are left, and the remaining symbol variation continues.

  FIG. 59 (a) shows a display image when the tilt effect is executed during the customer waiting normal effect in the customer waiting state, and FIG. 60 (a) shows the game during the execution of the tilt effect shown in FIG. 59 (a). The display images when the person operates the effect button 34 and the menu image 118b is displayed are shown. FIGS. 59B and 59C show the display priority and deformation information of each image displayed on the image display means 60 and the sub image display means 233, respectively, corresponding to FIG. 59A. Yes.

  Similarly, FIGS. 60B and 60C show the display priority and deformation information of each image displayed on the image display unit 60 and the sub image display unit 233, respectively, corresponding to FIG. 60A. ing. The tilt effect may be executed after a predetermined time (for example, 30 s) has elapsed since the start of the customer waiting state (reception of a customer waiting demo command).

  In the example of FIG. 59 (a), the background image 160, the effect symbol 114, the reserved base image 161, the menu displayable notification image 118a, the volume adjustable notification image 116a, and the light amount adjustment are displayed on the image display means 60 in order from the lowest display priority. The possible notification image 116b, the power saving mode notification image 120, and the error notification image 163 are displayed, and the background image 160a and the bubble effect image 253 are displayed on the sub-image display unit 233 in order of decreasing display priority. Tilt production is being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 59 (b), among the images displayed on the image display means 60 in FIG. 59 (a), the background image 160, the effect symbol 114, the reserved base image 161, the menu displayable notification image 118a, Since the deformation information is set to 1 for the volume-adjustable notification image 116a, the light amount-adjustable notification image 116b, and the power saving mode notification image 120, the tilt deformation is performed and the image is tilted to the left. Since the deformation information is set to 0, the upright state is maintained even after the execution of the tilt effect. Each image displayed on the sub image display means 233 is not deformed because the deformation information is 0, but is tilted to the left with respect to the image display means 60 and the like due to the inclination of the sub image display means 233 itself. It becomes.

  Note that the menu displayable notification image 118a, the volume adjustable notification image 116a, and the light amount adjustable notification image 116b are displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 30 s) has elapsed after the customer waiting state is started by receiving the customer waiting demo command. May be started. In addition, the menu displayable notification image 118a, the volume adjustable notification image 116a, and the light amount adjustable notification image 116b may be displayed when the tilt effect is executed during the customer waiting state.

  Further, when the player performs the volume adjustment operation and the light amount adjustment operation in the state of FIG. 59A, the volume adjustable notification image 116a and the light amount adjustable notification image 116b are deleted, and the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image are deleted. 117b is displayed. As shown in FIG. 59B, since the deformation information is set to 0 for the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image 117b, the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image 117b are displayed. Is displayed in an upright state (not shown) without tilting deformation. Note that the deformation information may be set to 0 for the menu displayable notification image 118a, the volume adjustable notification image 116a, and the light amount adjustable notification image 116b, and the upright state may be maintained after execution of the tilt effect.

  When the player operates the effect button 34 in the state shown in FIG. 59 (a) (when the tilt effect is being executed), a new menu image is displayed on the image display means 60 as shown in FIG. 60 (a). 118b and the menu operation notification image 118c are displayed. Since the deformation information is set to 0 for the menu image 118b and the menu operation notification image 118c as shown in FIG. It is displayed upright.

  As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment includes the image display unit 60 capable of displaying an image, and can display the volume setting image 117a indicating the volume setting state on the image display unit 60. When an effect control means 122 for controlling a specific effect for performing a predetermined deformation process on the image displayed on the means 60 is provided and the specific effect is executed while the volume setting image 117a is being displayed, the specific image not including the volume setting image 117a is displayed. On the other hand, the predetermined deformation process (inclined deformation process in this case) is performed, but the predetermined deformation process is not performed on the volume setting image 117a. Further, when the predetermined deformation process is performed on the specific image, the movable bodies 203a to 203c and 231 are operated corresponding to the predetermined deformation process. Further, the effect design 114 can be variably displayed on the image display means 60, and the specific image includes the effect design.

  In addition, each time the starting means 56, 57 detect a game ball, a random number value is acquired and the random number value is stored in the random number storage means 139 up to a predetermined upper limit number, and a symbol variation start is started. When the condition is satisfied, the symbol display means 53 and 54 for displaying the symbols in a variable manner based on the random number value stored in the random number storage means 139, and the stop symbol after the change by the symbol display means 53 and 54 are in a specific mode. Profit state generating means 142 for generating a profit state in the case of the display, and displaying the hold display images X1 to Y1 on the image display means 60, thereby storing them in the random number storage means 139 and still displaying the symbol display means 53, 54, it is possible to report the number of reservations, which is the number of random values that have not been subjected to symbol variation, and the specific image includes the hold display images X1 to Y1. The specific image includes an effect image.

  Further, it is configured to determine whether or not to perform the predetermined deformation process based on the deformation information given in advance for each image, and for the specific image, the volume setting image 117a includes the deformation information for performing the predetermined deformation process. Each is provided with deformation information indicating that the predetermined deformation process is not performed.

  In addition, when a new image is displayed during execution of the specific effect, if the image is a specific image that does not include the volume setting image 117a, a predetermined deformation process is performed on the specific image, but at least the volume setting image 117a. If so, the predetermined deformation process is not performed on the volume setting image 117a.

  Further, when a specific effect is executed while the error notification image 163 is displayed, a predetermined deformation process is performed on a specific image that does not include the error notification image 163, but at least the error notification image 163 is subjected to a predetermined deformation process. It is configured not to do. Further, when a new image is displayed during execution of the specific effect, if the image is a specific image that does not include the error notification image 163, the predetermined deformation process is performed. If the image is the error notification image 163, the predetermined deformation process is performed. Is configured to not.

  Further, it is possible to display on the image display means 60 the firing guidance images 162a and 162b indicating that the game area 23 should be aimed at the left and right sides, and execute a specific effect while the firing guidance images 162a and 162b are being displayed. In this case, the predetermined deformation process is performed on a specific image that does not include the firing guide images 162a and 162b, but the predetermined deformation process is not performed on the firing guide images 162a and 162b.

  In addition, the effect symbol 114 can be switched between a normal symbol and a retreat symbol 255 smaller than the normal symbol. When a specific effect is executed while the retreat symbol 255 is displayed, a specific image that does not include the retreat symbol 255 is displayed. Although the predetermined deformation process is performed, the predetermined deformation process is not performed on the save symbol 255.

  Although the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present invention have been described in detail above, the following configuration is also possible. That is, in the first embodiment, the mode may be changed by a player operation other than the selection operation from the menu screen. In addition, the mode may be changed by a player operation even during a symbol change other than in the customer waiting state. In this case, it is desirable to enable the mode change on the condition that the operation of the movable body is not reserved in the advance notice related to the symbol variation.

  In the notice shown in FIGS. 37 and 38, the first effect image 168, the second effect image 169, etc. are not limited to characters, and any effect image can be used. Further, the first effect body image 168 may not be provided. A lightning effect image is used as a director image, and at least part of the lightning effect image is displayed in the first to fifth fixed concealment areas and the movable concealment area C, so that the ratio displayed in the non-hidden area D increases. By changing the image, it is possible to produce an effect that lightning runs on the screen.

  As in the notice shown in FIGS. 37 and 38, the effect image such as the mini character image is displayed from the first state in which at least a part thereof is displayed in any one of the first to fifth fixed concealment areas and the movable concealment area C. When the ratio displayed in the non-hidden area D is changed to the second state that is larger than the first state, the display mode (color, size, It may be configured to suggest the jackpot reliability etc. according to the shape etc. In this case, if the ratio in which the portion indicating the reliability is displayed in the non-hidden region D is also larger in the second state than in the first state, the player will be able to make a big hit reliability, etc. Can be easily recognized, and the interest of the notice effect can be enhanced.

  In the prefetch hold change effect, when the display mode of the hold display images X1 to Y1 is changed based on the prefetch determination result, the hold display image before the change is displayed in the non-hidden area D, and the hold after the change is displayed. The display image may be displayed across the non-hidden area D and its outer area, such as displaying an enlarged part or an added effect part so as to protrude from the non-hidden area D. .

  If the first to fifth fixed concealment regions B1 to B5 and the movable concealment region C are widened, the non-concealment region D is narrowed, but the non-concealment region D is the other first to fifth fixed concealment regions B1 to B5, It is desirable to make it wider than the movable concealment region C. In addition, an arbitrary still image or moving image can be used as the background image 160.

  In the first embodiment, the movable area 75a to 78a being stopped is set as the movable concealment area C, but the movable body may naturally operate during the notice effect or the mode change. Therefore, in the entire screen area A, an area corresponding to the rear side of all the movable areas of the movable body (all areas in which the movable body may operate) may be set as the movable concealment area C. In this case, the non-hidden area D is narrower than in the case of the movable concealment area C for the movable body that is stopped, but the image displayed in the non-hidden area D is in what state the movable body is. However, it is always visible in front view, and higher visibility can be secured for images with high importance. Further, even when the movable concealment region C for the stationary movable body is employed, the error notification image 163 regarding the abnormality of the movable body (movable body error) can be obtained after all the movable regions of the movable body. It is desirable to display while avoiding the side.

  As in the first embodiment, when the movable concealment region C for the stationary movable body is employed, images of high importance (volume setting image 117a, light amount setting image 117b, error notification image 163, etc.) are displayed. If the movable body effect is executed during the display, the movable body may move in front of those images, and the visibility may be temporarily hindered. Therefore, when the movable body temporarily stops at a production position other than the origin position during the movable body production, a high importance image should be displayed avoiding the area behind the movable body at the production position. Is desirable. Thereby, even if there is a possibility that the visibility is temporarily hindered by the passage of the movable body, it is possible to prevent the invisible state from extending for a long time.

  However, at the time of execution of a movable body effect in which a plurality of movable bodies operate simultaneously (for example, a movable body effect during symbol variation due to a jackpot variation pattern, a movable body effect that is executed when developing from SP reach to SPSP reach, etc.) It is inevitable that the visibility of highly important images will be hindered for a long time.

  This is because, when high visibility is required even in such a case, there is a high possibility that the movable body is deprived of freedom and as a result, the production effect is reduced. Further, since such a movable body effect is often executed in a scene that is advantageous to the player, it is considered that a reduction in visibility is tolerated to some extent even in an image having a high degree of importance.

  In the embodiment, as an example of the launch notification related to the launch operation, the launch guidance notification that the player should launch aiming at one of the left and right sides of the game area is illustrated, but the game ball is launched on the opposite side to the direction to be aimed at The launch warning notification may be configured to be executable. It is desirable to display the firing notification image (launch guidance image, launch warning image) relating to the firing notification such as the firing guidance notification and the firing warning notification so as not to overlap with the sound volume and light amount setting images 117a and 117b. In this case, the fire notification image such as the fire guidance image may be displayed in a large size so that a part thereof protrudes from the concealed areas B1 to B3, B5, and C, but an important message part such as “To the right!” Is preferably displayed in the non-hidden region D.

  The step-up notice effect may change the display area gradually from the first stage to the final stage, or may not change the display area over a plurality of successive stages. The display area may not be changed until a predetermined stage (for example, the fourth stage), and the display area may be changed (enlarged) in the next stage (for example, the fifth stage).

  In addition, as a method of executing the step-up notice effect, the step-up notice effect may be divided into a hit part where the step-up notice effect is not confirmed and an execution part where the step-up notice effect stage is confirmed. In the hit part, the step-up notice effect is stepped up step by step, and the step-up notice effect is executed in a predetermined step predetermined in the execution part. In this case, the raised step-up notice effect is not necessarily executed in the subsequent execution part in the beat portion, and even if it is established from the first stage to the fourth stage, the step-up notice effect is subsequently executed. In some cases, the step-up notice effect is not executed.

  This is a so-called Gase effect (gase step-up notice effect). By doing so, it is possible to increase the appearance rate of the step-up notice effect and to give a sense of expectation that a higher-level step-up notice effect that is rarely seen may be executed. In the case of such a step-up notice effect, the display area is not changed when the turn-up stage is established, and the step-up notice effect is displayed when the step-up notice effect is executed in the execution part. The area may be changed.

  Also in such a case, in addition to gradually changing (enlarging) the display area from the first stage to the final stage, the display area is not changed until the predetermined stage (for example, the fourth stage), and the next stage ( For example, the display area may not be changed over a plurality of successive stages, for example, the display area is changed (enlarged) in the fifth stage).

  In the second embodiment, it is desirable to display the entire image that is not deformed in the non-hidden area, but it may be displayed so that a part of the image protrudes outside the non-hidden area. In the second embodiment, the non-hidden area or the like is not mentioned, but the area displayed in gray in FIG. 43 is the window frame portion 74, the base plate 45, the central display frame unit 47, and the big winning unit in front view. 49, a non-hidden region that is not obstructed by any of the display frame movable bodies 203a to 203c and the sub-screen movable body 231.

  The deformation effect such as the tilt notice effect may be executed as a “prefetch notice effect” performed based on the prefetch determination result by the prefetch determination unit 138a, or the jackpot determination result at the start of symbol variation by the special symbol processing unit 140 You may perform as "normal notice effect" performed based on. Further, it may be executed in the promotion effect (round promotion or probability change promotion) in the case of jackpot, or may be executed during reach fluctuation.

  In the second embodiment, the fire guidance image is configured not to be deformed (not tilted) even if the specific effect accompanied by the deformation process is executed, but the specific effect is not executed (not selected) while the fire guide image is displayed. You may comprise as follows. In other words, the firing guidance notification changes the firing direction that is advantageous to the player, such as when the gaming state transitions from the normal gaming state to the special gaming state (short time state, probability variation state), or from the special gaming state to the normal gaming state. In this case, it is performed until a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, until a predetermined time (3 seconds or the like) elapses, until a predetermined number of symbol fluctuations are completed, until a second special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times, etc.). In the meantime, it may be configured not to execute (not select) a specific effect accompanying a deformation process such as a tilt notice effect. The launch warning image in the launch warning notification can be handled in the same manner as the launch guidance image.

  It may be notified by a countdown or the like that a deformation effect such as a tilt notice effect is executed. In this case, the countdown notification effect may be performed as part of the tilt notice effect or the countdown notification effect may be performed separately from the tilt notice effect or the like before the tilt notice effect.

  Regarding the menu displayable notification image 118a, the volume adjustable notification image 116a, the light amount adjustable notification image 116b, etc., either when the deformation effect is performed during the display thereof or when they are displayed after the execution of the deformation effect. Also, the tilt deformation may not be performed.

  During the customer waiting state, it is desirable not to perform the deformation effect when the player performs a volume adjustment operation, a light amount adjustment operation, or the like. However, even when the deformation effect is performed, the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image are not displayed. About 117b, it is desirable not to carry out inclination deformation.

  Menu display may be possible during symbol changes other than in the customer waiting state. In this case, a sub window may be displayed on a part of the display screen 60a to display the menu image 118b or the like. When the menu image 118b or the like is displayed while the symbol is changing, it is preferable that the menu image 118b is not tilt-deformed together with the sub-window even when a deformation effect such as a tilt notice effect is executed.

  An effect using an RTC (real time clock) may be executable. This RTC is a timekeeping chip, and counts the date and time by supplying power from the built-in battery even when the power is off. The RTC effect may be executed when a predetermined time based on RTC elapses (for example, when a predetermined date and time has elapsed since power-on). Since this RTC effect is executed as an effect commonly set for the same gaming machine, when a plurality of the same gaming machines are installed side by side in the gaming hall, a timing such as after a predetermined time elapses after the power is turned on A common RTC effect is executed at once.

  In addition, since such an RTC effect is executed regardless of the progress of the game, the execution timing may be reached during the execution of another effect such as a reach effect. In this case, the reach effect is given priority. The RTC effect may be executed in a subwindow displayed on a part of the display screen 60a. Further, at this time, when a deformation effect such as a tilt notice effect is executed, it is preferable not to perform the inclination deformation for the RTC effect executed in the sub-window. In addition, when the deformation effect is performed on the RTC effect side of the sub-window, it is desirable that the RTC effect is subjected to the inclination deformation, while the reach effect side is not subjected to the inclination deformation.

  Whether the predetermined image is inclined or deformed may be varied depending on the contents of the notice. The reserved pedestal image 161 may be tilted in the first notice effect and not tilted in the second notice effect. The same applies to the background image 160, the effect symbol 114, the hold display images X1 to Y1 and the changing hold image Z. However, it is desirable to set an image that does not depend on the content of the effect, such as the error notification image 163, the volume setting image 117a, and the light amount setting image 117b, without deformation regardless of the content of the notice.

  In the case of performing a deformation effect on the effect symbol 114 composed of the symbol image 114a and the decoration image 114b such as a character, it may be configured such that only the decoration image 114b is inclined and deformed. Since the number portion is a portion that directly indicates the lottery result depending on the display content, it is desirable that the display portion be removed from the target of the inclination deformation and easily recognized by the player.

  In the embodiment, an example of performing an inclined deformation as an example of the predetermined deformation process for the image is shown, but in addition to a rotation process that rotates a predetermined angle around a predetermined center, an enlargement process, a reduction process, a parallel movement process, or a combination thereof, Arbitrary image processing can be adopted. With regard to the enlargement / reduction process, the enlargement / reduction ratio may be uniform, or the enlargement / reduction ratio may be different in a plurality of directions.

  In the second embodiment, it is configured to determine whether or not to perform the predetermined deformation process based on the deformation information given in advance for each image. However, in the first embodiment, a plurality of layers are targets of the predetermined deformation process. It is possible to classify in advance into a layer and an untargeted second layer, and to perform a predetermined deformation process on the first layer image and not to perform a predetermined deformation process on the second layer image. Good.

  In the second embodiment, the image displayed on the sub-image display unit 233 is not an image process called tilt deformation, but the image display unit 60 or the like by tilting the sub-image display unit 233 via the sub-screen movable body 231. However, the image displayed on the sub-image display unit 233 may be subjected to a predetermined deformation process such as a tilt deformation.

  In this case, if the predetermined deformation process is a rotation process such as a tilt deformation, the rotation process for the image displayed on the sub-image display unit 233 may be in the same direction as the rotation of the sub-image display unit 233 or in the reverse direction. Also good. If the image displayed on the sub image display means 233 is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation of the sub image display means 233 and at substantially the same angle, the image displayed on the sub image display means 233 is displayed to the player. Will be upright. Note that the predetermined deformation process may be performed on the image displayed on the sub image display unit 233 without operating the sub image display unit 233.

  In the second embodiment, the predetermined deformation process for the image displayed on the image display unit 60 or the like is performed in accordance with the deformation operation of the movable bodies 203a to 203c, 231; however, it is irrelevant to the deformation operation of the movable body. In addition, a predetermined deformation process may be performed on the image (for example, without deforming the movable body).

  The sub-design symbol 252 shown in the embodiment assumes a so-called fourth symbol that is resident on the liquid crystal and performs blinking display in response to fluctuations in the first and second special symbols. Even in the case where a symbol is provided separately from the image display means 60 by an LED or the like, a so-called mini-design may be displayed on the image display means 60 as the sub-effect design 252. This mini symbol is a small representation of the changing effect symbol 114 using numbers and symbols so that it is always displayed on the image display means 60 while the first and second special symbols are changing. It has become. It is desirable not to perform deformation processing such as inclined deformation on the mini-pattern. In addition, it is desirable to display the mini symbol in the non-hiding area D.

  For convenience of explanation, the configuration of the movable effect means is different between the first embodiment and the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the relationship between the image display area and the display image is different in the second embodiment. Although the display image deformation process has been mainly described, the two embodiments may be combined in any manner. The second embodiment may be applied to the first embodiment to enable execution of a deformation effect such as a tilt notice effect, or the second embodiment may include an image display area and a display image in the first embodiment. Relationships may apply.

  When an illumination panel is mounted on the front side of the game board 16, a light emission effect by the illumination panel may be executed when a deformation effect such as a tilt notice effect is executed. In this case, since the visibility of the liquid crystal display object may be hindered by the design portion of the illumination panel, at least one of the images that are not subjected to the predetermined deformation process, such as the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image 117b. It is desirable to display the part at a position that does not overlap the design part of the illumination panel.

  Regarding the notice effect for executing the predetermined deformation process, depending on the reliability indicating the lottery result of the variable display, the type of image to be subjected to the deformation process, the time (period) and the number of times to execute the deformation process, the degree of deformation of the deformation process Etc. may be made different. For example, when the lottery result of the variation display is out of place, a notice effect that executes a predetermined deformation process with low reliability is easily executed, and the number of types of images subjected to the deformation process is smaller than in the case where the lottery result is a win. The notice effect with the deformation process is executed with a short time (period) for executing the deformation process, a small number of times, and a small degree of the deformation process. Thus, according to the lottery result of the variable display, you may comprise so that the notice effect with a different deformation | transformation process may be performed.

  Although the deformation process is not performed on the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image 117b, the deformation process may be performed. However, in this case, it is desirable that the volume / light quantity can be adjusted based on the operation by the player even during the deformation process. Further, it is desirable that the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image 117b be updated and displayed so as to reflect the adjustment contents by the player even during the deformation process.

  In a notice effect indicating a lottery result of variable display or a message display for notifying a player of predetermined information, a display indicating that volume adjustment or light amount adjustment is possible by a predetermined operation may be performed. Of course, it is desirable to enable the functions of volume adjustment and light amount adjustment even during such a notice effect or message display. When a predetermined operation is performed by the player, it is desirable to display the volume setting image 117a and the light amount setting image 117b at a position that does not overlap the notice effect or the message display.

  Regarding the notice effect for executing the predetermined deformation process, the predetermined image that has been subjected to the predetermined deformation process may be changed to a new predetermined image and displayed. Specifically, when the background image 160 is deformed by a predetermined deformation process, the background image 160 is displayed so as to fade out from the liquid crystal by being reduced and displayed simultaneously with the deformation. At the same time, the new background image 160 is displayed in an enlarged manner while being deformed so as to fade in on the liquid crystal. As described above, the background change effect for changing the background image 160 by executing the predetermined deformation process may be executed. Even in this case, it is desirable to display a display object that does not execute the above-described deformation process without executing the deformation process.

  When executing a background modification effect in which the background image 160 is changed by executing the predetermined deformation process, not only the background image 160 but also other predetermined images may be similarly changed. For example, when the display mode of the hold differs for each background, the background image 160 may be changed and the hold image may be changed. Further, even when there is no need to change the display, the background image 160 may be faded out once, and the new background image 160 may be faded in again.

  The display object before execution of the predetermined deformation process and the display object after execution of the predetermined deformation process may be changed by executing the predetermined deformation process, not limited to the background change effect. In this way, by changing / updating the display object by utilizing the predetermined deformation process, it is possible to enhance the interest of the production rather than simply fading out / fade in the display object and performing the change / update.

  When executing the predetermined transformation process and executing the change effect, for example, the display mode of the hold display may be changed. Specifically, when the hold display mode before executing the predetermined deformation process is blue, the hold display mode after executing the predetermined deformation process may be displayed in red. Thus, in the hold change effect that changes the display mode of the hold, the interest of the hold change effect can be enhanced by utilizing the predetermined deformation process.

  When executing a predetermined effect by executing the predetermined deformation process, for example, the SU stage (eg, SU1 → SU2) of the step-up effect may be changed. Specifically, when the stage before executing the predetermined deformation process is the step-up image SU1, the stage after executing the predetermined deformation process may be displayed as the step-up image SU2. Thus, in the step-up notice of updating the SU stage, it is possible to enhance the interest of the step-up effect by utilizing the predetermined deformation process.

  In the case of executing the change effect by executing the predetermined deformation process, for example, the button image of the button effect, the gauge image, or the operation guide image 166 may be changed. Specifically, when the button image before executing the predetermined deformation process is the first button image, the button image after executing the predetermined deformation process may be displayed as the second button image. Thus, in the button effect using the operation means, the interest of the button effect can be enhanced by utilizing the predetermined deformation process.

  Further, the button transformation operation may be valid during the predetermined deformation process. When an operation by the player is performed during the predetermined deformation process, the predetermined deformation process may be interrupted and the on-operation effect may be executed. Further, the operation-time effect may be executed after the predetermined deformation process is completed.

  Further, the button effect operation may be invalidated during the predetermined deformation process. The operation valid period may be started after the predetermined deformation process is executed.

  The button effect includes a fade-in period in which an image imitating a button or a button image is displayed in a fade-in state, a button image, a gauge image, and an operation guidance image 166, an operation period in which an operation effective period starts, and after the operation period ends. It is desirable that an image imitating a button or a fade-out period in which a button image is displayed in a fade-out manner, and an operation-time effect period to be executed thereafter. And when performing predetermined deformation | transformation processing in a button effect, you may comprise so that predetermined deformation | transformation processing may be performed in all the periods of each period, at least one period, or several periods.

  You may comprise so that the predetermined | prescribed effect with a predetermined deformation | transformation process may be performed during execution of the vibration effect by the vibration means provided in the operation means etc. (it may be provided in addition to the operation means). As described above, when the predetermined deformation process is executed in various effects, the vibration effect may be executed during the predetermined deformation process. With this configuration, it is possible to notify the player that the predetermined deformation process is being performed via the vibration effect.

  The effect accompanied by the predetermined deformation process may be configured such that the reach variation period after the reach state is more easily executed than the normal variation period before the symbol is reached. The effect in which the predetermined deformation process is executed during the normal fluctuation period and the effect in which the predetermined deformation process is executed during the reach change period may be different effects or a common effect. Further, it may be configured such that an effect of executing the predetermined deformation process is not performed at all during the normal variation period, and an effect of executing the predetermined deformation process may be performed during the reach variation period. In any case, the reach change period may be more easily executed by changing the appearance rate of the effect in which the predetermined deformation process is executed in the normal change period and the reach change period.

  In the reach variation period, when a plurality of reach effects can be executed, a reach effect in which the predetermined deformation process is executed depending on the type of reach and a reach effect in which the predetermined deformation process is not executed may be provided. Further, the reach effect in which the predetermined deformation process is executed and the reach effect in which the predetermined deformation process is not executed may be different reach effects or a common reach effect. Further, in the case where the reach effect being executed develops and the post-development reach effect is executed, the reach effect before development and the reach effect after development may be used. Moreover, the reach production with low reliability and the reach production with high reliability may be used. In any case, the execution probability of the predetermined deformation effect may be varied by changing the possibility that the predetermined deformation process is executed depending on the type of reach effect.

  As described above, the predetermined deformation process may be executed in various effects, but more preferably, the predetermined lamp effect may be executed during the execution of the predetermined deformation process. In this case, a lamp effect corresponding to the image display subjected to the predetermined deformation process is executed. Specifically, when the image deformed by the predetermined deformation process rotates counterclockwise, it is desirable to execute a lamp effect such that the light emitting means arranged on the board surface or the frame are sequentially turned on / off counterclockwise. Further, it may be configured to execute a lamp effect such as a clockwise rotation in the case of a clockwise rotation and a blinking display of each light emitting means when accompanied by enlargement / reduction.

  As described above, when the predetermined deformation process is executed in various effects, the reliability of the lottery result of the variable display is different between the case where the predetermined notice process is not accompanied and the case where the predetermined effect is accompanied. You may comprise so that it may differ. In other words, when the notice effect is executed, the case where the predetermined deformation process is not executed may be configured to be the notice effect indicating that the reliability is high.

The attachment portion 824b of the fixed support member 824 is pressed against the support recess 823c side of the support body 823 for reinforcement.

  The reinforcing member 827 a and the pressing member 827 c are larger than the length in the left-right direction of the U-shaped attachment portion 824 b of the fixed support member 824, and the distal ends thereof are inserted into the cylindrical portion 824 a of the fixed support member 824. Yes. The holding member 827c is chamfered with an insertion portion 827e for forming a harness insertion portion between the end portion of the cylindrical portion 824a so as not to damage the harness 811i in the cylindrical portion 824a of the fixed support member 824. It is provided in the shape. The lengths of the reinforcing member 827a and the pressing member 827c may be approximately the same as or slightly longer than the length in the left-right direction of the attachment portion 824b. Of course, the lengths of the reinforcing member 827a and the pressing member 827c may be slightly shorter than the length of the attachment portion 824b.

  Two first position detections for detecting the position of the first rotating body 807 on both the front and rear sides of the fixed supporting member 824 between the supporting body 823 on the rotation driving means 810 side and the first rotating support means 806. Means 828a, 828b are provided.

  The first position detecting means 828a and 828b are contactless first detection switches 828c and 828d such as a photosensor fixed to the support 823, and first and second detection switches 828c and 828d corresponding to the first detection switches 828c and 828d. 2 and first driven parts 828e and 828f fixed to the driven gears 819a and 819b. When the first rotating body 807 makes a 1/2 rotation, the first detected body 828e and 828f are rotated every half rotation. The rotation position is detected by the one-position means 828a and 828b. The first rotating body 807 normally stops with the colorless and transparent first hemisphere 807a facing upward.

  Between the support body 823 opposite to the rotation driving means 810 and the second rotation support means 808, second position detection means 829 for detecting the position of the second rotation body 809 is provided. The second position detection means 829 is fixed to the second rotation support means 808 corresponding to the second detection switch 829a and a contactless second detection switch 829a such as a photosensor fixed to the support 823.

When the fixed leg portion 817b comes into contact with the receiving base 803, a fixing tool such as a screw is inserted from the lower side of the receiving base 803 to fix the fixed leg portion 817b on the receiving base 803.

  Note that the peripheral cover 798 may be attached after the operation effect means 678 is fixed on the receiving base 803. In addition, an opening for operating the fixture may be provided in the bottom wall 793 so that the opening is closed after the fixture is operated.

  Thus, by providing the pair of left and right front guide means 838 on the front side of the operation effect means 678 and the rear guide means 839 on the rear side, even if the operation effect means 678 is enlarged, the operation effect means 678 can be easily operated. Therefore, it can be inserted into the operation means arranging portion 785 without difficulty. Moreover, the operation | work at the time of removing the operation presentation means 678 from the operation means arrangement | positioning part 785 can also be performed easily.

  The operation effect means 678 having such a configuration is used for an operation effect or the like that is executed with a predetermined probability for each variation period of the special symbol. For example, when the operation effect determining means determines the operation effect, the first rotating body 807 and the second rotating body 809 rotate in the reverse direction according to the operation effect pattern and stop at the predetermined operation effect position, so that the image display means 393 If the player operates the effect button 813 in the designated operation mode within the operation effective period in which the operation instruction image is displayed, the effect at the time of the predetermined operation is executed according to the special symbol stop result after the change.

  This operation effect includes three types of operation effect patterns: a first operation effect, a second operation effect, and a third operation effect. An effect using rotation stop patterns of the first rotator 807 and the second rotator 809; It has become. The first operation effect is an operation effect that is executed when the first rotator 807 and the second rotator 809 in the effect button 813 are stopped at the first operation effect position, and the operation is effective during the first operation effect. When the player operates the effect button 813 in a designated operation mode (for example, by pressing once) within the period, “blue background effect” for changing the background color of the image display means 393 to blue and “red for changing to red” In addition to changing the background color of the image display means 393, the LEDs 100a and 100b are made to emit light in a predetermined light emission pattern.

  The second operation effect is an operation effect that is executed when the first hemisphere 807a of the first rotating body 807 in the effect button 813 faces upward but stops at the second effect operation position, and this second operation effect. When the player operates the effect button 813 in a specified operation mode (for example, once pressed) within the operation valid period, the LEDs in the first rotating body 807 are blinked with the timing sequentially shifted in the circumferential direction. It has become.

  The third operation effect is an operation effect that is executed when the second hemisphere 807b of the first rotating body 807 in the effect button 813 stops at the third operation effect position facing upward, and during the third operation effect When the player operates the effect button 813 in a designated operation mode (for example, once pressed) within the operation effective period of, the button vibration effect that causes the vibration generating means 815 to vibrate the effect button 813 is the result of the change in the special symbol and It is executed with a predetermined probability according to the type of profit state.

  Note that the first operation effect, the second operation effect, and the third operation effect are set such that the expectation that the special symbol after the change becomes a specific mode (big hit) in that order increases. The effect mode at the time of the operation effect performed using this operation effect means 678 is arbitrary, and is not limited to the first operation effect, the second operation effect, and the third operation effect. As for the operation of the effect button 813, in addition to “press once” that is operated only once, “continuous hit” in which the effect button 813 is continuously operated a plurality of times, and “long press that maintains the operation state of the effect button 813 for a predetermined time or more” And the like.

  The reflection preventing means 804 is for preventing reflection of light from the operation effecting means 678 having light emission onto the glass plate 671a, as shown in FIGS. 109, 117, 145, and 147. , Which is disposed between the glass plate 671a and the effect button 813 of the operation effect means 678, and includes an anti-reflection wall 804a configured by using all or part of the peripheral wall portion 800a, and the operation effect means 678. It is provided across the rear side from the left and right sides.

  In the case of the operation effect means 678 illustrated in this embodiment, the irregular reflection portions 807c and 807d of the first rotating body 807 emit light by irregularly reflecting the light from the light emitting means 811. The light emitting unit is configured. Therefore, the reflection prevention means 804 assumes that the height of the eye I of the player sitting on the chair in front of the pachinko machine 300 is the position shown in FIG. Even when the operation effect means 678 side is viewed through the glass plate 671a, the player's view reaching the first rotating body 807 is blocked between the glass plate 671a and the first rotating body 807, and the light emitting unit The first rotating body 807 is prevented from entering the player's field of view.

  The peripheral wall portion 800a of the upper cover portion 800 extends to the front cover portion 799 from both ends of the rear cover portion 800c and the rear cover portion 800c inclined to the front side corresponding to the rear side of the operation portion 813a of the effect button 813. The left and right cover portions 800d are provided, and the upper end side is formed in an inclined shape so as to be lowered from the rear side of the operation effect means 678 to the left and right sides so that the height of the rear cover portion 800c is higher than that of the left and right cover portions 800d. .

  The required range corresponding to the rear side of the operation portion 813a of the effect button 813 in the peripheral wall portion 800a including the rear cover portion 800c and the left and right cover portions 800d reflects the first rotating body 807 on the glass plate 671a. The reflection preventing wall 804a is prevented, and the reflection preventing means 804 is constituted by the reflection preventing wall 804a.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 158, the height relationship between the vertex of the first rotating body 807 and the vertex of the rear cover portion 800c of the peripheral wall portion 800a is the same as the vertex of the first rotating body 807 and the vertex of the rear cover portion 800c. When an intersecting line 671aa where the line segment X1 passing through intersects with the front surface of the glass plate 671a, when considering the line segment X1 and the line segment X2 pointed up and down with respect to the vertical line Y perpendicular to the front surface of the glass plate 671a, the line It is set so that the player's line of sight is located in the region X below the extension of the minute X2.

  Therefore, even when the player who is playing the game looks down on the operation effect means 678 through the glass plate 671a in the light emitting state of the first rotation body 807, the first rotation body 807 in the operation effect means 678 is also displayed. The light is blocked by the reflection preventing means 804 in the vicinity of the rear side, and the light of the first rotating body 807 can be prevented from being reflected on the glass plate 671a.

  Therefore, the player who is playing the game can easily and reliably grasp the display image displayed on the lower side of the display screen of the image display means 393 of the game board 313. In addition, even when there is a variable winning means 404 or other important winning means in the vicinity of the reflection area below the game area 323, the situation of the important winning means and the like should be easily and reliably grasped. There is an advantage that can be.

  Further, the reflection preventing wall 804a is configured by the peripheral wall portion 800a on the outer peripheral side of the operation portion 813a of the operation effect means 678, and the upper edge thereof is located on the left and right sides from the rear cover portion 800c on the rear side of the operation portion 813a of the operation effect means 678. In this way, the operability of the operation portion 813a is not impaired.

  The reflection preventing means 804 may be only the rear cover portion 800c as long as the reflection of the operation effecting means 678 on the glass unit 340 side can be prevented. Further, the reflection preventing means 804 may be made of a light-transmitting synthetic resin and provided with a coating or other light shielding portion on the surface thereof.

  In this embodiment, the operation portion 813a of the operation effect means 678 protrudes upward from the upper surface side of the lower decorative cover 331, and is disposed at a position where the operation portion 813a overlaps with the game area 323 in a front view. A reflection preventing wall 804a is disposed on the glass plate 671a side of the operation unit 813a at a position overlapping the game area 323 when viewed from the front, and is inclined forward along the spherical operation unit 813a.

  The reflection preventing wall 804a is higher than the operation portion 813a of the operation effect means 678 and the light emitting means 811 on the game board 313 side and the light emitting part such as the first rotating body 807 that emits light by irregularly reflecting the light of the light emitting means 811. The upper end is located at the position. The upper end of the reflection preventing wall 804a only needs to be located at a position higher than the light emitting portion such as the light emitting means 811 on the game board 313 side than the operation portion 813a of the operation effect means 678 and lower than the operation portion 813a. However, when the operation unit 813a emits light by irregular reflection or the like, it is necessary to dispose the reflection preventing wall 804a at a position higher than the operation unit 813a.

  Even when there is a wall for preventing reflection, important game parts such as variable winning means 404 and special symbol starting means 655 are located at positions corresponding to the operation part 813a in the front view of the game board 313. It is desirable not to place.

  Further, in the embodiment, the operation effect unit 678 having the LED light emitting unit 811 is illustrated as an object in which reflection is a problem, but other than the operation effect unit 678 may be used.

  FIG. 159 illustrates a sixth embodiment of the present invention.

The game area 323 is arranged so as to overlap the lower side of the game area 323.

  The light emitting operation member 836 has a light-transmitting flat operation portion 836a formed at the upper end, and an irregular reflection portion 836b formed on the inner surface of the operation portion 836a. An LED substrate 836d having an LED 836c on the upper surface is provided below the operation unit 836a. When the LED 836c emits light, the light from the LED 836c is irregularly reflected by the irregular reflection unit 836b so that the operation unit 836a emits light. It has become.

  The outer peripheral cover 837 has a peripheral wall portion 837a that surrounds the operation portion 836a. The peripheral wall portion 837a has a low front wall portion 837b that is the front side of the operation portion 836a, and the operation portion 836a and the glass unit 340 on the rear side of the operation portion 836a. The rear wall 837c side located between the two is higher.

  The reason why the front wall portion 837b of the peripheral wall portion 837a is low is to facilitate the operation from the front side of the operation portion 836a. Of the front wall portion 837b and the rear wall portion 837c, at least the rear wall portion 837c side disposed on the rear side of the operation portion 836a is spherical toward the front side along the shape of the operation portion 836a of the light emission operation member 836. It is inclined to.

  The operation portion 836a of the light emission operation member 836 overlaps with the lower side of the game area 323 on the game board 313 side in the front and rear direction. In addition, an out ball port 842 for guiding the out ball to the back side of the game board 313 is arranged in a portion corresponding to the rear side of the operation unit 836a in the lower side of the game area 323 of the game board 313. Non-critical game parts are arranged, and no important game parts such as winning means are arranged. In addition, a winning means having a small number of winning balls at the time of winning, such as a normal winning means 405, may be arranged.

  Of the light from the operation unit 836a when emitting light by irregularly reflecting the light from the LED 836c or the light from the LED 836c, the light from the LED 836c when the LED 836c emits is reflected on the glass plate 671a on the rear wall 837c side. The reflection preventing means 804 for preventing the reflection is configured to prevent the reflection.

  The upper end of the reflection preventing means 804 is disposed at a position higher than the LED board 836d and lower than the operation unit 836a on the game board 313 side than the operation unit 836a. Note that the upper end of the reflection preventing means 804 may be disposed at a position higher than the LED board 836d and higher than the operation unit 836a on the game board 313 side than the operation unit 836a.

  As illustrated in this embodiment, the effect operating means 835 can be disposed in a forward inclined state on the upper side of the front overhanging unit 669. Also in this case, if the operation unit 836a on the upper end side of the light emission operation member 836 emits light, reflection on the glass plate 671a is a problem depending on the light diffusion direction and diffusion region of the operation unit 836a. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a reflection preventing means 804 as a countermeasure.

  The reflection preventing means 804 may have various structures, but by using the outer peripheral cover 837 that holds the light emitting operation member 836, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. In addition, it is desirable that the reflection preventing means 804 be disposed with its upper end side approaching the problematic light emitting portion side, such as by providing the rear wall portion 837c in a forward inclined state on the operation portion 836a side, thereby increasing the size. Can be prevented.

  The light emitting means 811 may be other than the LED 836c, such as a 7-segment light emitting display means. Further, the operation unit 836a may be arranged lower than the lower side of the game area 323 so as not to overlap the game area 323 of the game board 313 in the front-rear direction. Further, the reflection preventing means 804 may be provided separately from the outer peripheral cover 837.

  FIG. 160 illustrates a seventh embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 160, the pachinko machine 300 includes a rendering operation means 835 for rendering operation that is disposed in the center of the upper side of the front projecting unit 669 so as to be tilted forward. The effect operation means 835 includes a light emission operation member 836 that can be pressed in an inclined direction, and an outer peripheral cover 837 that presses the outer periphery of the light emission operation member 836 on the front projecting unit 669, and a game area 323 of the game board 313 and its It is arranged below the front glass unit 340.

  The light emitting operation member 836 includes a light emitter 836e inside the operation portion 836a, and a reflection preventing means 804 for preventing the light from the light emitter 836e from being reflected on the glass plate 671a of the front projecting unit 669. It is provided on the upper surface side. The front projecting unit 669 is provided with a projecting portion 669a between the light emitting operation member 836 and the glass unit 340 that projects upward and blocks light from the light emitter 836e to the lower side of the glass unit 340. The projection 669a constitutes a reflection preventing means 804.

  In this way, it is possible to provide the reflection preventing means 804 separately from the effect operating means 835 by using a part of the front projecting unit 669. Therefore, whether to provide the reflection preventing means 804 in a part of the production operation means 835 or whether to provide the reflection prevention means 804 separately from the production operation means 835 depends on the structure of the front projecting unit 669, the production operation means 835, and others. What is necessary is just to determine suitably according to.

  Although the fifth to seventh embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the fifth to seventh embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Is possible. When the gaming machine is a pachinko machine 300, the gaming machine main body may be configured by the outer frame 301 or may be configured by the outer frame 301 and the front frame 302. Of course, you may comprise in things other than these.

  The fifth to seventh embodiments exemplify the anti-reflection measures for the pachinko machine 300, but the anti-reflection measures include various ball machines such as the pachinko machine 300 as well as various slot machines and the like. The same can be applied to a gaming machine.

  For example, when the gaming machine is a pachinko machine 300, as illustrated in the fifth to seventh embodiments, the gaming area 323 is for the front side of the gaming board 313 mounted on the gaming machine main body side such as a front frame. The reflection on the visual recognition plate 671a such as a glass plate disposed on the front side of the game board 313 becomes a problem. In the case of a rotary reel type slot machine, a liquid crystal display type slot machine, and the like, the game area 323 corresponds to the front side of the rotary reel, a liquid crystal display screen, and the like, and a viewing plate 671a such as a glass plate disposed on the front side thereof. Reflection is a problem.

  Further, the object to be prevented from being reflected on the visual recognition plate 671a is generally light from the light emitting means 811 (light emitting portion) disposed at the lower front side of the visual recognition plate 671a. In addition to light from the inside, light on the surface side may be used. For example, when there is a glass or other mirror-like reflective part at the lower part of the front side of the visual recognition plate 671a, it is conceivable that light from the external light source is reflected by the reflective part toward the visual recognition plate 671a. The reflection of light may also be prevented.

  Further, as a reflection preventing means 804 for preventing the light from the light emitting means 811 from appearing on the visual recognition plate 671a, a blocking wall for blocking the light reaching the player's visual field between the light emitting means 811 and the visual recognition plate 671a. However, the reflection preventing means 804 may use a part of a member attached to the light emitting means 811 or use another member on the upper surface side of the front projecting unit 669. Also good.

  The reflection preventing means 804 may not only completely block the light from the light emitting means 811 like a blocking wall, but may also employ a dimming means that dims to a weak light that does not hinder the player's game. Good. In this case, the light that has passed through the dimming means is reflected on the visual recognition plate 671a. However, since the light does not interfere with the player's game, there is no problem. As the dimming means, one that diffuses the light from the light source, one that polarizes the light from the light source, and the like can be considered. Therefore, the reflection preventing means 804 weakens strong light that would impede the player's game, but may allow light reflection that is weak enough not to interfere with the player's game. It is.

  Further, in the fifth embodiment, a case where reflection of light from the light emitting unit 811 below the operation unit 813a is prevented by the reflection preventing unit 804 is illustrated. However, when the uppermost operation unit 813a emits light due to irregular reflection or the like, the light from the uppermost operation unit 813a is also a target for preventing reflection. However, even when the uppermost operation unit 813a emits light by light from the inside, it is not always necessary to prevent the reflection if the light is weak.

  The reflection preventing wall 804a is preferably inclined on the upper side toward the light emitting means 811 from the viewpoint of blocking the light from the light emitting means 811, but is not necessarily inclined toward the light emitting means 811, and is inclined in the opposite direction. You may make it do. In the case where the operation portion 813a is spherical as in the fifth embodiment, it is desirable that the operation portion 813a be shaped so as to embrace the structure. The reflection preventing wall 804a is sufficient if it is within a narrow range just behind the operation unit 813a. However, considering that the player's posture moves to the left and right, the right and left sides from the rear part of the operation unit 813a are sufficient. It is desirable to arrange in the predetermined range.

  In a gaming machine provided with a projecting unit such as the front overhanging unit 669, when the front support part 794 is provided at the front lower part of the projecting unit, the front support part 794 cooperates with the main body support part 795 on the gaming machine main body side.
