[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes the game board 11 shown in FIG. 2 behind the front frame 10Z shown in FIG. 1, and visually recognizes the game area R1 of the game board 11 through the glass window 10W of the front frame 10Z. be able to. In the following description, the right side (right side in FIG. 1) of the gaming machine 10 from the front side is simply referred to as “right side”, and the opposite side is simply referred to as “left side”.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game area R1 is entirely surrounded by the guide rail 12, and includes an entrance 12A at the upper left portion of the game area R1. Then, when the launch handle 28 (see FIG. 1) at the lower right on the front side of the gaming machine 10 is rotated, the game balls in the front plate 27 are driven into the game area R1 through the entrance 12A with a launch intensity corresponding to the operation amount. It is.

  A display opening 11H that penetrates the game board 11 is formed in the game area R1, and a decorative frame 23 is fitted from the front. The upper side and both side sides of the decorative frame 23 protrude from the front surface of the game board 11 with a size approximately equal to the diameter of the game ball. Thus, the game ball is restricted from entering the inside of the decorative frame 23, and the game area R1 is divided into an upper game area, a lower game area, a left game area, and a right game area.

  A display device 13 is provided behind the game board 11, and a liquid crystal display screen 13 </ b> G of the display device 13 faces forward through an effect window 23 </ b> W inside the decorative frame 23.

  A rolling stage 24 on which a game ball can roll is provided at the lower side of the decorative frame 23, and the game ball rolls through the warp tube 24 </ b> R extending from the left side of the decorative frame 23 toward the rolling stage 24. It is possible to enter above. Further, the rolling stage 24 has a fall prevention wall 24W at the front edge, and a discharge port 24A formed by cutting the fall prevention wall 24W at the center in the left-right direction of the rolling stage 24 and both lateral portions thereof. 24B and 24B are formed. Then, the game ball rolling on the rolling stage 24 rolls toward the center and is discharged out of the decorative frame 23 from any of the discharge ports 24A, 24B, 24B.

  The first start winning port 14A, the second start winning port 14B, and the out port 16 are arranged at intervals from the top right below the central discharge port 24A. The first start winning opening 14A has a pocket structure that is always open on the upper surface of the protrusion protruding from the front surface of the game area R1.

  The second start winning opening 14B is opened to the front surface of the game area R1, and normally, the opening is closed by the turning door 14T, and the turning door 14T is opened due to the establishment of a predetermined condition. A tongue piece (not shown) protrudes from the base, and the game ball is taken into the second start winning opening 14B using the tongue piece as a guide.

  The out port 16 is open to the front surface of the game area R1 and is positioned at the lowermost end of the entire game area R1, and a game ball that has not won any winning hole such as the first start winning port 14A is an out port. 16 flows in. Note that the second start winning port 14B and the out port 16 are covered from the front by a front cover 14D arranged with a space corresponding to one game ball from the front of the game area R1.

  Two normal winning ports 20, 20 are provided on the left side of the first starting winning port 14A, and a large winning port 15 and an ordinary winning port 20 are provided on the right side of the first starting winning port 14A. The normal winning opening 20 has the same pocket structure as the first starting winning opening 14A.

  The special winning opening 15 is a horizontally long rectangle opened at the front of the game area R1, and is always closed by the rotating door 15T. Then, due to the success / failure determination to be described later, the turning door 15T turns around the lower end portion to be in a forward leaning posture, and a large amount of game balls are taken into the big winning opening 15. In addition, a rolling guide portion 15S for guiding the game ball flowing down the right game area to the second start winning port 14B is provided below the special winning port 15. In addition, a start gate 18 is provided above the special winning opening 15 at one end in the left-right direction of the right game area. In addition, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are distributed over substantially the entire game area R1.

  Each time a game ball wins each of the above-described winning openings 14A, 14B, 15, and 20, a predetermined plurality of game balls are paid out to the front plate 27 (see FIG. 1) as prize balls. In addition, the number of winning balls for winning in the big winning opening 15 is larger than the number of winning balls for winning in the other winning openings 14A, 14B, and 20. However, the special winning opening 15 is normally closed as described above. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game as follows while hoping that the special prize opening 15 is opened.

  That is, when a game ball wins the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B, for example, a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “special drawing determination”) is made with a predetermined probability, and the lottery result To display the first to third special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C in a side-by-side state on the liquid crystal display screen 13G. Each of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is composed of a plurality of types, and after they are scroll-displayed over a predetermined fluctuation period, they are stopped and displayed, and the first to third special symbols at that time are displayed. Whether or not the determination result is a win (this is referred to as “big hit”) is notified depending on whether or not the symbol combination is a winning symbol combination (for example, a crocodile). When a big hit is made, a big hit game in which the revolving door 15T is opened a predetermined number of times over a predetermined opening period is executed, and a large amount of game balls can be won in the big winning opening 15.

  In order to win the above jackpot, the player hits the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B for winning. Here, the first start winning opening 14A is easier for a game ball flowing down the left game area to win, and the second start winning opening 14B is easier to win when flowing down the right game area. Further, as described above, the second start winning opening 14B is normally closed. In order to open the second start winning opening 14B, the game ball needs to pass through the start gate 18. When the game ball passes through the start gate 18, for example, a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “normal determination”) is performed with a probability of ½. Then, after one group of normal symbols 13D is variably displayed over a predetermined fluctuation period on the liquid crystal display screen 13G, the normal symbol which is either hit or miss (for example, odd or even) is stopped and displayed. The determination result of the determination is notified. If it hits there, the turning door 14T opens over a predetermined opening period, and the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 14B. However, in the normal state, since the opening period of the rotary door 14T is extremely short, it is very difficult to win a game ball in the second start winning opening 14B. On the other hand, in the “short time state” described later, the opening period of the rotating door 14T becomes longer than the normal state, and the winning to the second start winning opening 14B becomes easy.

  In addition, the “normal determination determination right / no-right determination right” generated by the passage of the start gate 18 and the “special drawing determination right / left determination right” generated by winning in the first or second start winning opening 14A, 14B are both Up to four are both stored and stored, and the number of reservations is notified by the number of lighting of the lighting display portions 14H and 18H provided outside the game area R1 on the front surface of the game board 11.

  Some jackpots have bonuses and some don't. If one of the benefits is the above-mentioned “short time” and the “hits” privilege is attached to the jackpot (that is, “hits with time”), the fluctuation period of the usual figure determination is short after the jackpot game is executed. And the opening period of the rotating door 14T of the second start winning opening 14B becomes longer. As a result, the frequency of occurrence of the common game determination increases, and it becomes easier to win the second start winning opening 14B.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the left-handed game ball is made to flow down to the left game area until the winning jackpot with a short time is allocated, and the gaming ball is allowed to flow down to the right gaming area after the big hit with the time limit is allocated. It is preferable to make a right-handed strike, and an image suggesting such a strike is displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 13G.

  In addition, the bonus includes a big hit with “probability”. When it is a big hit with probability variation, after executing the big hit game, the probability of making a big hit in the special figure determination becomes higher (1/200) than the normal probability (for example, 1/400). In addition, “probability change” is always added with “short time”, and only “probability change” may disappear due to a predetermined condition, resulting in a “short time state without probability change”. In addition, whether or not the above-mentioned privilege is awarded to the jackpot is determined by lottery, and if the symbol combination is “777” when the special figure judgment is stopped after the variable display, it is set to be a jackpot with probability variation and time reduction Has been.

  Further, when the above-described special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are variably displayed, then, for example, the left, right, and center special symbols 13A, 13C, and 13B are stopped in this order. Therefore, in the case of a big hit, the central special symbol 13B becomes the same symbol (that is, a glance) through the reach state in which the left and right special symbols 13A and 13C are stopped at the same symbol. Then, during the notification of the special figure determination, an effect design for predicting a big hit is displayed in addition to the special design to raise the player's feelings. Further, by operating the operation handle 29 (see FIG. 1) provided at the lower left of the front surface of the gaming machine 10, the contents of the effect design changes, and this also raises the player's feelings.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in addition to the image effect by the liquid crystal display screen 13G, the light display effect by the light emitting panel 70 shown in FIG. 2 is performed. The light emitting panel 70 is provided on the upper side of the decorative frame 23. That is, on the decorative frame 23, the beam member 23A extends substantially horizontally between the positions near the upper ends of the left and right edges (positions slightly lower than the entrance 12A). It constitutes the bottom of the upper side. Further, the upright member 23B rises upward from the left-side position of the beam member 23A, and the upper end portion of the upright member 23B and the right end portion of the beam member 23A are connected by an arc-shaped upper edge member 23C. And the light emission panel 70 is integrated inside the upper side frame 23D comprised by 23 A of beam members, the standing member 23B, and the upper edge member 23C (refer FIG. 3).

  The upper part of the left end portion of the beam member 23A is covered with a front cover 23E from the front with a space corresponding to one game ball from the front of the game area R1. Then, when the game ball that has entered the game area R1 from the entrance 12A collides with the standing member 23B, it passes through the rear of the front cover 23E and flows down to the left game area. The upper edge member 23C and the guide rail 12 are connected to the right game area of the game area R1 with a width corresponding to one game ball. The game ball that has passed over the upright member 23B flows down the right game area.

  The light emitting panel 70 can display different characters and symbols depending on the game situation, and in this embodiment, has two types of display patterns. As shown in FIG. 4, the light emitting panel 70 has a light emitting protrusion having a character “THE 777” on the rear side of the first light transmitting member 71 having a light emitting groove 71 </ b> A having a character “big hit”. A second translucent member 72 having 72A is provided in an overlapping manner.

  A band-shaped first light emitting substrate 73 is disposed opposite to the lower surface of the first light transmitting member 71, and a second light emitting substrate 74 having substantially the same shape as the second light transmitting member 72 is disposed on the rear surface of the second light transmitting member 72. Are arranged opposite to each other. That is, the light from the plurality of LEDs 73L arranged at equal intervals on the upper surface of the first light emitting substrate 73 enters the first light transmitting member 71 from the lower surface, and the light emitting groove 71A emits light. Light from the plurality of LEDs 74L on the front surface enters the second light transmissive member 72 from the rear surface, and the light emitting protrusion 72A emits light.

  The first translucent member 71 is a plate made of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin, and has a light emitting groove 71A having a letter “big hit” on its rear surface. Specifically, the light emitting groove 71A is carved from the rear surface of the first light transmissive member 71 so as to form a groove along the outer edge of the character (see FIG. 5B). Note that the letters “big hit” may be formed as a protrusion on the front surface of the first light-transmissive member 71. Moreover, in order to make the outline of the character clear, the inner side of the light emitting groove 71A may be processed to be translucent.

  The second light transmissive member 72 is a plate formed of, for example, a translucent black resin. Further, on the front surface of the second translucent member 72, a light emitting protrusion 72A is formed in the shape of the letters “THE 777”.

  FIG. 7 shows a cross section of the second light transmitting member 72 taken along broken lines BB and CC shown in FIG. FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view of the protrusion 72AX corresponding to the “THE” portion of the light emitting protrusion 72A, and FIG. 7B is the “777” portion of the light emitting protrusion 72A. It is a cross section about applicable protrusion 72AY. The side surface of the protrusion 72 </ b> AX stands perpendicular to the front surface of the second light transmissive member 72. On the other hand, the protrusion 72AY is erected such that the side surface thereof is inclined with respect to the front surface of the second light transmissive member 72 and the opposite side surfaces approach each other.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 4, between the 1st translucent member 71 and the 2nd translucent member 72, the light shielding sheet 75, the division sheet | seat 76, and the diffusion sheet 77 are arrange | positioned in order from the front side. Yes.

  The light shielding sheet 75 is a sheet having the same shape and size as the first light transmissive member 71 and is made of, for example, resin. The light shielding sheet 75 is translucent black. FIG. 5 shows the rear surface of the upper frame 23 </ b> D provided with the first light transmissive member 71, the light shielding sheet 75, and the first light emitting substrate 73. As shown in FIG. 5A, the first light emitting base 73 is fitted to the lower end of the rear surface of the upper frame 23D. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the LED 73 </ b> L is disposed at a position facing the lower side surface of the first light transmissive member 71 and is located on the front side of the light shielding sheet 75. With this configuration, the light emitted from the LED 73 </ b> L directly shines on the first light emitting substrate 73, and the light shielding sheet 75 restricts the light emitted to the rear second light transmissive member 72.

  FIG. 6 shows a partition sheet 76, a diffusion sheet 77, a second light transmissive member 72, and a second light emitting substrate 74. The partition sheet 76 is a black sheet having a light shielding portion 76B for shielding light, and a light transmitting portion 76A having the same shape as the light emitting protrusion 72A is cut out at a position overlapping the light emitting protrusion 72A of the second light transmitting member 72. Is formed. The diffusion sheet 77 is a sheet having a milky color similar to that of frosted glass. The partition sheet 76 and the diffusion sheet 77 constitute a permeation restriction sheet 78.

  The partition sheet 76 may be created by sticking a seal serving as the shielding portion 76B on a transparent sheet or printing the shielding portion 76B. Further, the partition sheet 76 and the diffusion sheet 77 are not sheet-like and may have a shape having a thickness.

  On the second light emitting board 74, LEDs 74L are intensively arranged at positions overlapping the light emitting protrusions 72A. Accordingly, the LED 74L can efficiently cause the light emitting protrusion 72A to emit light.

  Now, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the result of the special figure determination is a normal big hit that does not change with certainty, a light display effect in which a light letter “hit” is displayed on the light emitting panel 70 is performed. (See FIG. 8). Further, when the result of the special figure determination is a big hit with certainty, a light display effect is displayed in which a light character “THE 777” is displayed on the light emitting panel 70 (see FIG. 9).

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the light letter “big hit” is displayed on the light emitting panel 70, the LED 73 </ b> L of the first light emitting board 73 emits light, while the LED 74 </ b> L of the second light emitting board 74 does not emit light. In this case, the light irradiated by the LED 73L of the first light emitting board 73 is prevented from being irradiated by the second light transmissive member 72 behind by the light shielding sheet 75 as described above. As a result, on the light-emitting panel 70, the “big hit” light character formed on the first light-transmissive member 71 and the “THE 777” light character formed on the second light-transmissive member 72 are mixed and displayed. It is possible to display only “big hit” light characters without any problem.

  Further, since the “big hit” character of the first translucent member 71 is expressed by the light emitting groove portion 71A carved along the outer edge, when the light of the LED 73L is irradiated, the character is floated by the light emitting groove portion 71A. As a result, the “big hit” optical character can be clearly displayed on the display panel 70.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, when the light letter “THE 777” is displayed on the light emitting panel 70, the LED 74 </ b> L of the second light emitting board 74 emits light, while the LED 73 </ b> L of the first light emitting board 73 does not emit light. In this case, the light irradiated by the LED 74 </ b> L of the second light emitting board 74 is blocked by the light shielding sheet 75 from the irradiation of the front first light transmissive member 71. Accordingly, only the light character “THE 777” formed on the second light transmissive member 72 is displayed on the light emitting panel 70.

  Further, since the character “THE 777” of the second light transmissive member 72 is expressed by the light emitting protrusion 72A formed on the front surface, the outline shape of the character irradiated with the light of the LED 74L becomes clear. Thereby, a light character can be clearly displayed on the light emission panel 70. Furthermore, since the light emitting protrusion 72A is formed with protrusions having different shapes, ie, a protrusion 72AX and a protrusion 72AY, a difference occurs in the contour shape of each optical character displayed on the light emitting panel 70, and the expression is diversified. To do. In particular, the protrusion 72AY can be expressed so as to protrude an optical character.

  Here, the partition sheet 76 is formed with a translucent portion 76A having the same shape as the light emitting projection 72A, and a shielding portion 76B surrounds the periphery. With this configuration, the light emitted to the light emitting protrusion 72A by the LED 74L can only travel forward in the range of the light transmitting part 76A, while the light applied to the range of the shielding part 76B is shielded. Progress is blocked by the portion 76B. Thereby, the range of the light emission protrusion 72A displayed on the display panel 70 is clearly divided by the bright part and the dark part. Therefore, it becomes possible to display the character of the 2nd translucent member 72 more clearly.

  In addition, since the diffusion sheet 77 has a milky color, it plays a role of diffusing the light of the LED 74L of the second light emitting substrate 74. As a result, it is possible to produce a light display effect that gives the player an eye-friendly and soft impression.

  Further, since the LEDs 74L are concentrated on the second light emitting board 74 so as to overlap the light emitting protrusions 72A, the LEDs 74L can efficiently cause the light emitting protrusions 72A to emit light. . Thereby, an optical character can be displayed on the light emission panel 70 more clearly.

  Thus, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a clear light display effect that differs depending on the gaming state is possible. Moreover, since it is performed on the same light emission panel 70, the light display effect which utilized the small space effectively is implement | achieved.
