2. Description of the Related Art In a game machine of this type typified by a pachinko machine and a slot machine with a symbol, a symbol variable display device in the form of a symbol drum is generally used as a mechanically rotating entity display unit for a symbol combination game. Has been adopted. In this device, as a basic configuration, a stepping motor controlled by pulse driving, a large number of various symbols and 1
A plurality of symbol units, including a symbol drum arranged with a plurality of reference indices and rotated by a motor, and a detection means for the reference indices, each of which is composed of a plurality of symbol units; It is a display device. And in the symbol combination game by this device, the symbol drum is rotated according to the pulse driving of the motor of the symbol unit for each row, based on the input / output control processing on the electronic control device side responding to the starting condition, Further, the symbol drum is stopped at a predetermined position in accordance with the stop of the motor after the detection of the reference index by the detection means. Based on the combination determination result of the symbols thus displayed, a special game or winning establishment can be realized in each of the gaming machines.

[0003]

As for the symbol variable display device of the symbol combination type game machine used for the game to date, only the symbol drum type as described above has been generalized and widely implemented. Have been. In this display device, since the design drum is directly connected to the stepping motor and rotated, the one step angle (one displacement angle) with respect to the number of pulse outputs of the motor, the rotation displacement amount of one design frame of the design drum, and Designing and manufacturing is relatively easy, including indexing. However, if you try to increase the number of patterns, the number of frames, and the size of each frame,
Inevitably, the design drum becomes large in diameter and a large motor is required, and the entire display device becomes large and costly, resulting in a serious problem that cannot be suitably implemented. For this reason, in reality, the size (diameter) of the symbol drum, the number of symbols of the symbol, and the like are limited and manufactured and implemented under the condition of conforming to the configuration and size of the gaming machine. It was not possible to sufficiently respond to the diversification of the display contents of the symbol combination game.

In such a situation, in recent years, a display device in the form of a symbol belt has been newly found as another type which can solve the problems inherent in the display device in the shape of the symbol drum. . According to this display device, the size of the symbol units in each row in the front-rear direction (depth direction) can be considerably reduced, and the entire circumference of the symbol belt can be lengthened. It is expected that the symbol can be used and that the design can be suitably implemented based on the design and the symbol variation control mode which are basically the same as those in the case of the symbol drum form. However, such a belt-type display device has not yet been implemented as a concrete one, and has been proposed only to the extent of a technical idea as seen in each application. Accordingly, there has been a strong demand among those skilled in the art for the appearance of a design variable display device in the form of a design belt that can be implemented in a small and suitable design combination game that is easy to manufacture.

Is rotated and stopped under the set time condition.

In such a display device M, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in the transparent display body 1, a transparent plate 3 serving as a lens is provided behind a rectangular window 2 opened at the center. The see-through plate 3 is provided with three rows of display windows 4 of left, middle and right, and a plurality of winning lines 5 for design stop display .
Are formed. In addition, the display window 4 of each column can see through the symbols for each of the three frames shown in the drawing, and according to this, the winning line 5 is formed by three horizontal lines, upper, middle, and lower, and two diagonal lines obliquely crossing each other. For example, the center horizontal line is set as a reference line. Each part of the transparent display 1 includes a holding lamp 6 for displaying the number of valid holdings (for example, up to four) of the starting input conditions, and a display lamp for decorative light displayed according to the design display contents. 7 and the like are provided. In FIGS. 1 and 11, reference numeral 8 denotes a display indicating the number of continuous opening operations of the electric winning device N.

On the other hand, the three symbol units U, which are the actual display portions of the display device M, are of the same type, as shown in FIGS. and one drive base combined set plate 11 that is positioned and held in the housing body 43, a rotation drive control mechanism 16 which includes the set plate 11 arranged in the drive motor 17 and multiple rotary body, this a rotating body periphery mark type of pattern belt 28, which is in exhibition Zhang hung an endless state between the mechanism 16, the detection means 31 of optical and forming the position detection of the symbols in the moving process of symbols belt 28, symbol belt 28 and a lighting device 33 for illuminating the symbols on the front side band portion of the inner or et suitable Yichun, so that the unit 1 group at a time is easily configured and manufactured in the weight and size in the set plate 11 units .

The set plate 11 in each of the symbol units U is of a printed circuit board type of a rectangular shape of a predetermined size made of a synthetic resin plate material containing glass fiber. 6 are formed on one side (outer surface) of the motor circuit 12 and the detection circuit 1 as schematically indicated by broken lines in FIG.
3. The lighting circuit 14 and the like are separately configured.
The terminals of these circuits 12, 13, and 14 are connected to the pins of one connector 15 provided on the rear side of the set plate 11, and the input / output control unit of the control circuit device E (see FIG. 11). Side can be connected via a connection line.

Both pulleys 19 and 20 are made of synthetic resin having flanges at both ends on the outer periphery, for example. If necessary, the outer periphery of the main pulley 19 may be subjected to a non-slip process (for example, a member having a large frictional resistance). Is also good. The guide 22 is supported by a support shaft 24 fixed to the set plate 11 and an arm 23 supported by a spring 25.
The guide pulley 26 supported on the support shaft 27 of the arm 23 can appropriately press and contact from the inside of the symbol belt 28 so as to guide it while maintaining the proper extension state. However, the guide tool 22 enables the guide pulley 26 together with the arm 23 to be displaced to a non-guide position by a fingertip operation.

The symbol belt 28 is formed as an endless belt having a very high tensile strength and a small change in expansion and contraction by welding and joining the both ends of a symbol display band B, which will be described later, schematically shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 6, the rotary drive control mechanism 16 is mounted around the outer circumference of each of the rotating bodies 19, 20, and 26. Then, in the belt 28, by Moto it is more generally properly stretched holding the biasing force acting on the guide pulleys 26, along with being constantly subjected received over the outer surface half round of the main pulley 19, the slave pulleys 20 and a rear side band portion 28b between the guide pulley 26 and the front side band portion 28a are in a substantially parallel state. Under such an extended hanging state, slack of the belt 28 itself, slippage with the main pulley 19, and the like are avoided, so that the belt 28 can be stably rotated. The design belt 28 can be quickly and easily passed (removed and replaced) by using the switching displacement of the guide pulley 26.

The symbol display band B, which is the base of the symbol belt 28 described above, is specifically made of two ultra-thin film-like materials (eg, polyester, inner thickness 2) having high tensile strength and small expansion and contraction change.
5 to 40 μ), and formed into a predetermined size (length, width) based on a predetermined printing cutting process. As schematically shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a plurality of symbols 29 (shown in alphabetic characters for convenience) including a hit and a miss are provided for a plurality of frames at a symbol center interval indicated by a one-dot chain line (shown in FIG. 7). No. "0-20"), the detecting means 31 is provided at an appropriate position with respect to one appropriately selected reference symbol and each symbol.
One reference mark 30 that will be detected in the respective symbol mark 30
a are appropriately formed.

In the symbol display band B, each symbol 29 is formed by being colorfully printed with ink of each color having a high sensor sensitivity (light transmission) by the detection means 31. On the other hand, the reference mark 30 and each of the symbol marks 30a are formed on the rear surface side edge of the display band B by partial vapor deposition of a vapor deposition material having low sensor sensitivity such as aluminum or chrome. And all symbols mark 30a is the center of the formed arranged in detection size P ₂ for a given pulse displacement amount of symbols belt centerline positions of the symbols, whereas the reference marks 30 are one reference symbol (e.g. "A") in parts, the two sensors of the detecting means 31

a, 30a (smaller than the non-detection intervals P ₃ , P ₄ ) (see FIG. 8).

It should be noted that the numeral numbers "0 to 20" shown in the figure of the symbol display band B are used as one of the processing controls on the program in the control circuit device E to be described later.
Means a counter value determined for convenience as a symbol number representing the position and type (A to U) of the reference mark 3
The position (time point) at which 0 is detected is set as a reference value “0” and the final value “2” is set.
It is counted to "0" and reset to "0" again. In addition, when the symbol display band B is formed into an endless symbol belt, the outer edge of the symbol at both ends (the numeral number “10” in FIG. 7).
And the edge outside the top of “11”) is used as the bonding margin.

In the symbol belt 28 formed by such a symbol display band B, the symbol 29 and each mark 3
Since 0,30a is clearly visible from the outer surface of the belt, the quality of each printing or vapor deposition, the quality of the module, and the like, and the appropriateness of the identification classification and the compatibility of each other, etc.
No special equipment is required at all, allowing quick and easy confirmation through the inspector's own vision. In addition, by utilizing the difference in sensor sensitivity (light transmission) between the symbol 29 and each of the marks 30, 30a, each mark is required for all the symbols without any restrictions on the arrangement conditions. It can be formed and arranged at a position, and even if it overlaps with a part of the design, it is properly detected while maintaining the non-light transmitting condition (light blocking state). Thereby, in the width direction of the symbol belt, the required symbol 29 is set to each mark 30,
It can be formed to be large over the entire width without being restricted by the position of 30a, and can be easily implemented as a colorful, good-looking, high-grade, and suitable high-grade information-marking pattern display material.

On the other hand, the detecting means 31 comprises a symbol belt 28.
When the reference mark 30 is detected during the continuous movement of
A positioning reference is detected for each rotation, and the symbol 30a at each position is detected one by one based on the time of the detection, and an optical sensor 32 (two shown) having a light emitting part and a light receiving part is used. Is done. As a detection position set in consideration of the position of the reference pay line 5 of the transparent display 1, as shown in FIGS.
Are arranged in parallel with each other above the front side band portion 28a, and are connected to the circuit 13 of the set plate 11.
The detecting means 31 includes both sensors 32, 32 of the light transmission type.
Is set to be detected (code signal “1”) at the time when a non-light transmitting state (light blocking state) is exhibited with respect to the reference mark 30 and the symbol mark 30a.

In the lighting fixture 33, the set plate 1
Lamp base 3 connected and fixed to a predetermined portion of one circuit 14
4 are set plate 11 hopper-shaped cover 35 for light diffusion to be hooked in the center is assembled to the lamp base 34 arranged FIG shows three lamps positively in the central portion of the cover 35 Is housed. And in order to three frames of successful optimal illumination of FIG pattern, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, three lamps 36a, 36b, 36c are on the inside cover 35, in each position of the lower Are arranged in a horizontal direction, and the symbols are directly illuminated from the inside based on predetermined light emission control conditions. Each lamp 36a, 36b, 36c
For example, an LED lamp or a round fluorescent lamp having a required emission color can be preferably used.
Assuming that the lamp is turned on when the power is turned on to illuminate the entire symbol, the lamp at that position is set to blink on and off with respect to the hit symbol 29b at each position.

As described above, each of the symbol units U composed of one set plate 11 unit is
And a connecting rod 37 having a screw hole 38 and a screw shaft 39 at both ends and serving as a spacer rod as shown in FIG. That is, as schematically shown in FIG. 9 as an example, the three units U shown in the figure are set in the upright state in the same direction, and the screw holes 38 of the connecting rods 37 are aligned with the holes 40 of the set plate 11 in the right row. A screw 41 is tightened from the outside of the plate 11. Next, each hole 40 of the set plate 11 in the middle row is aligned with the screw shaft 39 of each connecting rod 37 in the right row, and each connecting rod 37 in the middle row is connected to this screw shaft 39 via a screw hole. I do. Then, the left-side set plate 11 is similarly aligned with each of the middle-row connecting rods 37, and the nut 42 is fastened to the screw shaft 39 from outside the left-side set plate 11. As a result, the units U are assembled and set in tandem, and one unit of the display device M is set.
A set of entity display units.

The above-mentioned entity display section is provided with the container 4
The positioning and locking of the set plates 11 of the respective symbol units U are accommodated in the base unit 3 so that one unit 43 can be easily handled one by one, and the back side of the game board 61 of the pachinko machine P. Can be easily positioned and set in units of the container 43 (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 3). In this state, the front side band portions 28a of the symbol belts 28 in each row face the transparent display body 1, and the connecting members 15 of the respective set plates 11 are exposed on the back side of the container 43 and are installed in the pachinko machine. easy simply via the connection line H to the output control unit of the control circuit unit E will be described later has to be connected (see FIG. 3).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the housing 43 is directly fixed on the back surface of the game board 61 and is assembled and aligned with the transparent display 1; An assembling type with a rear frame 47 which is aligned and fixed to the back side of the frame 44 is taken as an example. And in the front frame 44,
A window 45 having a size matching the see-through plate 3 is opened, and a positioning locking portion 46 for each symbol unit U with respect to the set plate 11 is formed inside the window 45. On the other hand, the rear frame 47 has an opening 48 and a heat radiating opening 49 for the connector 15 of each set plate 11 on the back surface thereof, and a positioning locking portion 50 formed inside thereof.

Here, setting items related to the symbol belt 28 and the movement control will be additionally described as a reference example. That is, one displacement amount per pulse based on the number of pulses (an integer) set for one rotation of the motor 17 and the circumferential length of the main pulley 19, and the circumferential length of the main pulley 19 and the belt 28
The total number of pulses required for one rotation of the belt is determined in advance based on the ratio of the effective perimeters. Based on this, the total number of pulses is previously set to an integer closest to the calculated value, and the belt 28 is designed and designed to have an effective circumference including a decimal length (for example, up to 1/10 mm) that can be manufactured.
Alternatively, it is possible to select a plan in which the belt 28 is set to an integer effective circumference in advance, and the total number of pulses corresponding to this is rounded to the whole number by rounding the calculated value down to the decimal point. Then, based on one of these selection plans, the basic pitch of the symbol interval to be implemented and the number of frames of the symbol are basically determined from the effective circumference of the belt 28, and the reference pulse number based on the basic pitch divided by one pulse displacement is calculated. After calculation, an integer closest to the reference pulse number is set as a basic pulse number per frame.

In the proposed setting condition, as one specific example, the basic pitch of the symbol is "20 mm", the number of basic pulses corresponding thereto is two stages of "36, 37", and one symbol interval at the required position. (For example, between the counter values "0 to 20" in FIG. 7)
Is set to a correction pitch of about 19.7 mm, where the decimal length is appropriately subtracted from the basic pitch, and the entire belt 28 is shifted by one frame per symbol by alternate output control of the first and second basic pulse numbers. It is proposed to set it to move continuously. As a result, the deviation of the entire belt and the display deviation of each symbol due to the difference between the theoretically calculated value and the actual value can be kept to the minimum value close to "0". Position (when resetting counter "0")
The mark count detection is performed on all symbol positions based on the first and second basic pulse number units, so that the symbol can be moved stably and an accurate stop display on the pay line 5 can be achieved.

When the symbol belt 28 mounted on the symbol display unit U is viewed in relation to the setting conditions described above, the stop display position (center line) of each symbol 29 with respect to the reference winning line 5 is determined. Even if the position) shifts, the error is limited to a small value range (for example, within 0.55 mm) due to the one-pulse displacement as a maximum value when strictly viewed. For this reason, this small error can be substantially set as a tolerance range, and there is no problem even if it is regarded as a stop display at the center line position of the symbol with respect to the winning line 5. Accordingly, the symbol belt 28 between the rotating bodies 19, 20, and 26 of the rotation drive control mechanism 16
There is no restriction including the selection of the position of the symbol with respect to the main pulley 19, the reference setting, and the like, and the mounting can be freely performed in any mode, and the trouble and trouble can be avoided. In addition, when the detection position of the detection means 31 is viewed, on the assumption that each symbol 29 is stopped and displayed with the center line position within the above-mentioned tolerance range with respect to the winning line 5, the position of the winning line 5 is determined. Can be set at a position at a distance of 1 pulse displacement x set pulse number.

A basic input / output control system related to the entity display section (three symbol units U) of the symbol device M described above is constituted by the control circuit device E which is schematically shown in a block diagram in FIG. 11 as an example. Have been. This circuit device E is basically the same as the case of the existing control system in the form of a symbol drum, and as shown in the figure, a winning determination unit 51, a random number data setting unit 52, a motor control unit 53 and a pulse generation unit The unit 54, and the counter unit 55 and the symbol detection unit 56 for each symbol display unit U are a basic main control unit. And for each symbol unit U,
Necessary control mainly of an initial symbol origin position confirmation control process and a symbol variation stop control process in response to the start signal input can be performed.

A basic symbol variation control mode of the symbol variable display device in the symbol combination type pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Symbol Origin Position Confirmation Processing) When power is supplied to the symbol variable display device of the pachinko machine P provided for the game, a symbol origin position confirmation process as an initial display condition of the display device is illustrated in FIG. It is done based on the order you do. That is, in the example in which the symbol origin alignment in the symbol unit U of three columns is displayed as “out of alignment”, the symbols for stopping each column are determined by the response between the winning determination unit 51 and the random number data setting unit 52 in response to power-on. Is selected and held in the winning determination unit 51. Under these data conditions, based on the drive control (pulse output) of the motor control unit 53 in response to the instruction from the winning determination unit 51, the three rows of motors 17 are sequentially driven to rotate the symbol belt 28, The winning determination unit 51 suspends the detection condition of the symbol mark related to the detection stop symbol for each row. Under this condition, the detection means 31 of each row, which has received the detection condition instruction from the winning determination unit 51 after a set time, detects the reference mark 30 on the symbol belt 28 of each row, and starts the “off-set initial data” When the symbol mark 30a at a predetermined position corresponding to the
5 and the symbol detection unit 56, and then input to the winning determination unit 51.

After a set time from the end of the mark detection, the symbol belt 28 is stopped together with the motors 17 in each row in accordance with the stop of the drive control (stop of the pulse output) from the motor control unit 53, and the symbol mark 30a is stopped. The two symbols 29 are stopped and displayed on the winning line 5. In this result, the detection information content of the detection means 31 of each column is sequentially input to the counter unit 55 and the symbol detection unit 56, and the detected symbol mark 30a, the counter value (0 to 20) and the symbol value corresponding thereto are detected. A comparison conversion process with the 29 types (A to U) is performed, and the origin positions of the symbols in each row are confirmed under the condition that information is finally input to the winning determination unit 51. Thereafter, the vehicle is kept on standby in this state, and can exhibit the original symbol changing action in response to the start input. However, in the design origin position confirmation based on this "deviation initial data" control processing, one type of "deviation" is displayed including the same or different types of deviations, different types of hits, and each of the symbols 29 for hitting and hitting. Is done.

In addition to the above-mentioned "out-of-initial data" processing method, a "time control data" processing method exemplified by a broken line frame in FIG. 12 can be adopted. That is, three rows of design belts 28
In the example in which each of the initial display conditions includes “missing and hitting”, the motor of each row is controlled based on the time control processing between the winning determination unit 51 and the motor control unit 53 when the power is turned on. By driving the symbol 17, the symbol belt 28 is rotated for a while. At the final stage of the set time, the detecting means 31 of each row detects the symbol 30a at a predetermined position from the detection reference time of the reference mark 30 and inputs information to the winning determination unit 51, and after a set time from the end of the detection, In accordance with the stop of the pulse output from the motor control unit 53, the symbol belt 28 is stopped together with the motor 17, and each symbol 29 is stopped.
Is stopped and displayed on the winning line 5. In the same manner as described above, the information detection content of each detection means 31 is
, The origin positions of the symbols in each row are confirmed. In addition, in this processing method, in addition to the above-mentioned “missing”, a symbol for the same kind may be displayed.

(Symbol Variation Stop Processing) After the above-described symbol origin position confirmation processing, a detection signal (start signal) from a start winning switch 65 described later is sent to the prize determination unit 51 with the start of the game in the pachinko machine P. After the input, the original symbol variation control action is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG.
With the pulse output transmitted from the motor control unit 53 based on the instruction from the winning determination unit 51 for the two start inputs,
The symbol belt 28 is started to rotate in accordance with the sequential driving of the three rows of motors 17, while the random number data setting unit 52 selects one “sampling data” for a stop symbol in response to a start input. This “sampling data” is classified into out of hits and hits according to the information content of the symbol number counter value corresponding to all the symbol marks 30 a in the symbol belt 28 out of the total number of all symbol combinations. The input is temporarily held by the winning determination unit 51. Thereafter, while the motor control unit 53 is controlled based on the processing in the determination unit 51, the information detection condition of each detection unit 31 is instructed.

At the final stage in which the symbol belt 28 is rotated at a low speed in accordance with the processing instruction of the winning determination unit 51 described above, the motor 17 in each row is sequentially driven at a reduced speed based on the drive control of the motor control unit 53, respectively. The detecting means 31 detects a symbol mark 30a at a predetermined position from the detection reference time point of the reference mark 30 based on the detection condition defined by the above-mentioned "sampling data", and wins through the counter unit 55 and the symbol detection unit 56. Information is input to the determination unit 51. Then, after a set time from the end of the detection, the symbol belt 28 is stopped together with the motors 17 in each row in accordance with the stop of the pulse output from the motor control unit 53, and the symbol belt 30 is stopped.
One symbol (for hit or miss) 29 is stopped and displayed on the pay line 5. At this point, the detecting means 31 of each column
Regarding the mark detection contents, the counter value corresponding to the position of the symbol mark 30a detected from the detection time of the reference mark 30 in each counter unit 55 is detected in the range of "0 to 20", and the symbol detection unit 56 The type (A to U) of the symbol 29 is detected and determined from the input and the counter value detected by the detection unit 56, and the information is input to the winning determination unit 51. Based on this, the same determination unit 51 determines each stop symbol individually and entirely based on the "sampling data".

As a result, the symbol combination on the winning line 5 is determined as "hit" in the case of, for example, three rows of the same type of symbol match, and is determined as "missing" in all other cases. ing. However, this "missing" includes a "missing reach" state in which two rows of the same type of hit symbol match and other rows of different symbols (hit / miss) do not match. Note that other winning lines other than the standard winning line 5
Regarding the combination of the respective symbols stopped on the (upper and lower horizontal lines and diagonal lines), the counter value of each symbol on the reference winning line 5 is "+1 and -1". The detection is determined based on the calculation process of the counter value (the set number of pulses for one symbol). The speaker 57 and lamp 36a illustrated in FIG. 11, 36b, 36c
Generates respective sound effects and display lights in accordance with the symbol fluctuation stop condition at the time of start input.

As for the fluctuation control after the start input of the variable symbol display device M, an example in which the control by the control circuit device E described above is mainly performed and the processing is performed by the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 14 is also proposed. That is, in this control processing example, one "sampling data" extracted from the random number data setting unit 52 is determined as one of data classified as a hit and a loss, and the winning determination unit The input is reserved for the hit processing unit 51 and the separation processing unit 51.
Thereafter, while the motor control unit 53 is controlled in the same manner as described above based on the processing in each processing unit, the flow of FIG. The symbol stop display is controlled by the mark detection in accordance with the following. Incidentally, as an example of creation and setting of “sampling data” according to this control processing example, a sequence (random number) in which a hit processing number “number 1” and a departure processing number “number 2” are arranged in an appropriate order and circulated at a predetermined cycle. Table) is adopted, and one "sampling data" having a hit or miss processing number at the time of starting input is extracted in this sequence.

On the other hand, the basic pattern variation stop mode according to the symbol variable display device M, that is, the rotation variation mode of the symbol belt 28 in the symbol array U of three rows is set as an example as shown in FIG. .

(A) When the power is turned on, the sequence starts in the order of the left, middle, and right columns, and after a set time, stops in the order of the left, middle, and right columns. Is confirmed. (b) For the start of fluctuation based on the start input, the left column, the middle column,
Starting with a predetermined time difference in the order of the right column, in a continuous fluctuation process over a set time, the speed is gradually increased and gradually changed to a predetermined high speed and maintained as it is. Note that, during the fluctuation of the three rows, different symbol matching times are included as necessary. (c) Regarding the fluctuation stop based on the stop input, there is an example in which a symbol stop determination signal is input at a set time from the start of the fluctuation of the left column, and the left column, the middle column, and the right column are input after this signal input. The motors are stopped at predetermined time intervals while being gradually decelerated in order. (d) With respect to the fluctuation time of each row (from start to stop), at the time of the “out”, the left row, the middle row, and the right row have constant fluctuation times T ₁ , T ₂ , and T ₃ , respectively. At the time of "hit" (including the time of "out of reach"), the left column and the middle column are kept at a common constant fluctuation time, and only the right column is changed by "previous conditions" under predetermined conditions. It is a long variable fluctuation time T ₄ or T ₅ than the time T _3.

In this example of the symbol variation stop mode, the display relating to the "reach operation" shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 14 is as shown in FIG.
From the required point in time before the stop of the middle row belt 28 (for example, just before the N symbols) to the stop time of the middle row belt 28 and the right row belt 28, a sound effect for reach from the speaker 57,
It is possible to generate reach effect light by the lamps 36a to 36c. At the time of the "hit",
As illustrated in FIG. 15, the hit effect sound and the hit effect light are generated after the right row belt 28 stops. By the way, about the start of symbol fluctuation at the time of power-on and at the time of start input, an example in which three columns are started at the same time and stopped in the order of left, right, and middle, or another example of start / stop sequence may be used.

According to such a symbol variable display device M,
In the example of the symbol stop display by the above-described mark direct detection, the symbol belt 28 of the symbol unit U in each row is
Even if any error occurs in the displacement amount corresponding to the number of basic pulses corresponding to each frame unit, when the detection means 31 detects the predetermined symbol mark 30a, the symbol 29 is accurately detected and read from the counter value corresponding thereto. Then, after a predetermined time, the symbol 29 can be stopped and displayed on the pay line 5. Thereby, the symbol belt 28 can be appropriately moved between the main pulley 19 of the rotation drive control mechanism 16 and the symbol belt 28 without any locking feed means such as a ratchet or a locking hole, so that a suitable symbol variation mode can be achieved. And the main pulley 19 has a simple shape,
The design belt 28 may be structured, and the effective width of the symbol belt 28 may be increased to form a large-looking symbol by that amount, and the entire display device may be upgraded.

Here, in the above-mentioned symbol combination game by the symbol variable display device M of the present embodiment, the illumination control processing (mainly the big hit illumination) executed by the CPU of the control circuit device E will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This will be described with reference to display examples of FIGS. Note that FIG.
As schematically shown, the three lamps 36a of the illumination device 33 in the symbol unit U in each column, 36b, 36c is a as an example a case in which convenience connected to the winning determination portion 51 of the CPU. The symbols 29 will be described separately in FIGS. 17 to 19, by separating the symbols 29 a, such as circles and squares, and the hit symbols 29 b, using the number “7” as an example.

First, in the initial state before the start of the symbol combination game, the lamps 36a at the respective positions of the lighting fixtures 33 in the respective rows are set.
All the symbols stopped and displayed in the display windows 4 of the respective columns of the see-through display 1 under the condition that .about.36c is constantly lit.
(3 frames and 3 rows) are clearly illuminated. Under this,
After starting the symbol combination game, first the first (left column)
When the belt 28 is stopped (see FIG. 17), the CPU confirms the stop of the belt in step 1 in FIG. 16, shifts to the next step 2, and displays on the display window 4 in the left column. The presence / absence of the hit symbol 29b in the symbol is determined. Then, when there is no per symbol returns to step 1 side, whereas
If Ru Yes in any one of whom location and proceeds to step 3,
The lamp at the corresponding position blinks at a predetermined cycle. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the off symbols 29 a displayed in the middle and lower rows of the left column are the lamps 36 b and 36 at that position.
In contrast to the lighting in c, the hit symbol 29b displayed in the upper row of the same row is illuminated by the blinking switching of the lamp 36a at the same position, and is clearly illuminated from each other.

Next, when the second (middle row) belt 28 is stopped (see FIG. 18), the stop of the belt is confirmed in step 4 in FIG. 16, and the process goes to step 5 to display the middle row. The presence / absence of a hit symbol in the symbol displayed on the window 4 and the display position are determined. Then, when there is no per symbol is lit switching the left column upper lamps 36a proceeds to step 6, whereas per symbols previous per symbol the same payline
If it is displayed in the middle (exemplifying the slant line 5 descending to the right in FIG. 18), the process goes to step 7 to flash the lamp at the corresponding position. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 18, middle per symbol 29b is flashing illuminated by lamps 36b at the same position, it is classified illuminated with other out pattern 29 a.
Also, when the hit symbol 29b in the middle row is displayed in the upper row, it is similarly illuminated by blinking the lamp 36a at the same position. However, when displayed in the lower row, since the hit pattern 29b in the upper row in the left column is not aligned, the lamp 36c in the lower row in the middle row is not blinked (it remains lit), and the lamp 36a in the upper row in the left row is turned on. It passed back to.

In the lighting process in step 7, the lower right lamp 36c corresponding to the last hit symbol displayed on the diagonal line 5 is also turned on at a predetermined cycle in accordance with the blinking of the middle middle lamp 36b. Flashes. Then, in the next step 8, of these third place location lamp 36a, 3
6b and 36c are controlled so as to be short, and the position where the "big hit" is established by the winning symbols 29b is notified in advance in a blinking manner, and a state where the possibility of the "big hit" being established is high (generally also in the "reach state"). ) Is announced. FIG.
In the case where the hit symbol 29b in the middle row is displayed in the upper row, the two lamps 36a,
36a will blink.

When the last third (right row) belt 28 is stopped (see FIG. 19), the stop of the belt is confirmed in step 9 in FIG. 16, and the process proceeds to the next step 10.
The presence / absence and display position of the hit symbol 29b in the display window 4 in the right column, that is, whether or not the hit symbol 29b is displayed on the lamp 36c at the lower position in the right column is determined. In this determination, if there are no hit symbols and they are not aligned, the process proceeds to step 6 as “missing” processing, and all the lamps 36a, 36b, 36
Return c to the original lighting. On the other hand, when the winning symbols are aligned, the process proceeds to the next step 11 as a process of establishing a "big hit", and all the lamps 36a, 36b, 36c continue to blink for a predetermined time. As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 19, all of the displayed out-of-place symbols 29a are aligned on the oblique line 5 while being lit and illuminated by the lamps of each column.
One hit symbol 29b is the lamp 36a, 36b,
The blinking illumination at 36c clearly illuminates the state of "big hit".

The flashing lighting state of the "big hit" is continued until the end of the special game, that is, the end of the continuous opening / closing operation of the electric winning device N of the game board 61, and thereafter. At step 6 in FIG. 16, the three lamps 36a, 36b, 36c are returned to the original lighting state, and all the symbols 29a, 29 are turned on like the other lamps in the lighting state.
b is kept in the initial condition of lighting. Note that FIG.
When the hit symbol 29b in the middle right column is displayed in the upper row or the middle row, a so-called “reach out” occurs because the hit symbol 29b for the previous two rows is not aligned, and the upper row or middle ramp 36a in the right row is displayed. , 36b are not flashed (they remain lit), and the lamps 36a, 36b, 36c in the previous flashing state
Is returned to lighting.

As described above, in the symbol variable display device M of the present embodiment, the entire display displayed on the transparent display body 1 side under the irradiation control conditions of the lamps 36a to 36c of the illuminator 33 in the symbol units U of each row. The symbol of the frame is illuminated and illuminated, and three winning symbols 2 displayed on one winning line 5
By flashing and illuminating 9b with the lamps 36a to 36c at the positions, it is possible to clearly illuminate the entire symbol, and to clearly illuminate the off symbol 29a and the hit symbol 29b.
In addition, as the illumination of the hit symbols in three rows in one winning line 5, the first and second hit symbols 29b as described above are used.
By sequentially flashing the lamps 36a and 36b and pre-flashing the lamp 36c at the display position of the last hit symbol, the player can confirm the pre-lighting at the position where the "big hit" is established, while maintaining the original "big hit". You can concentrate on the game with high interest in the establishment and expectation.

[Modification] The symbol variable display device proposed by the present invention is designed to provide the number of symbol units U, the size of the symbol belt 28, the number of symbols in the symbol, and the like in accordance with the type of the target gaming machine, the content of the game, and the like. Furthermore, the form, outer size, etc. of the entire apparatus are appropriately selected. Generally, a small type as shown in the figure for a pachinko machine and a large (long) type for a slot machine are preferable. Basically, any type is basically proposed based on the same configuration, and the rotation drive control mechanism 16 of each symbol unit U is controlled by the drive motor 17, the main pulley 19, and the position switching. It is possible to use a slave pulley urged by a spring. Also, detecting means 3
1, the type of symbols belt 28 to adopt, in particular may be selected ones of the optical science format compatible with the structure condition mark 30,30a each, to stop the display condition of the symbols for the winning line 5 also the detection position In addition, it may be installed at a predetermined position.

As for the design belt 28, as schematically shown in FIG. 20, a vapor deposition band surface portion S is formed on the side edge of the display band (base material) over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. The reference mark 30 and the symbol mark 30a are formed by forming a light transmitting portion from which the vapor deposition surface is removed at the reference position and the position for each symbol. As a detection condition of the detection means 31, a setting example is set such that “no detection” is performed when light is not transmitted to the vapor deposition band section S (when light is blocked), and “detected” is detected when light is transmitted to each of the marks 30 and 30a. A design belt which can be used can also be suitably recommended. Of course, in the center of the width of the back of the display band,
It may be a design belt using a design display band formed by forming and arranging the reference mark 30 and the design mark 30a by vapor deposition. The reference mark 30 and the design mark 30a may be formed separately on the left and right side edges of the design belt.

On the other hand, as for the lighting fixtures 33 in the symbol units U in each column, in the embodiment of the illustrated embodiment, the lamps 36a to 36c are turned on each time the symbol combination game is started, so that The lamp at that position may blink for the displayed hit symbol (including the case of irregular arrangement) or for the hit symbol displayed for each winning line 5 (when a big hit is established). Although not shown, light-emitting parts of each color, size, and number of light-emitting components for exclusive use or for the entire design and exclusive for the hit design may be appropriately arranged. By the way, between the three lamps 36a to 36c shown in the figure,
An example can be proposed in which two fluorescent tubes commonly used for three rows of design belts are inserted in parallel.

The lighting fixtures with the lighting lamps connected thereto are installed at predetermined positions, and an endless design belt is stretched and mounted between the outer circumferences of the main pulley, the slave pulley, and the guide pulley. The unit is lightweight and small for each set plate, and can be easily configured and manufactured. Also, each of the symbol units can be easily handled as a substantial display unit of one symbol variable display device by setting a plurality of units in a set unit by connecting and fixing the respective set plates in parallel with the connecting rods. The symbol units in each row can be easily and simply connected to a predetermined control circuit device via the set plate. Then, in the implementation in the target gaming machine, the symbol belt of each symbol unit can be continuously and stably moved based on the input / output control of the control circuit device. Based on this, based on the direct detection of the detection mark by the detection means, the symbol can be accurately stopped and displayed at a predetermined position on the front surface of the gaming machine together with the stop of the symbol belt. Also, since the effective total circumference of the pattern belt in each row can be made as large as possible, each pattern can be formed in a large size with good appearance, and many types and number of frames can be adopted. It is possible to diversify this type of symbol combination game by improving the game.

In particular, in the symbol variable display device of the symbol combination type pachinko game machine of the present invention, the entire symbol stopped and displayed at the position of the winning line is controlled by light emission control by lighting devices provided in the symbol units of each row. It can shine clearly. That is, in each symbol combination game, the symbol belt of each column is in a mode in which symbols for three frames are stopped and displayed at a predetermined position such as a winning line, etc. As the light emission irradiation conditions of the three middle and lower lamps, it is possible to illuminate a combination of an out-of-design and an out-of-match and blinking illumination of a combination of a out-of-design and a out-of-match. Missing, big hit "
Can be clearly illuminated separately for each symbol type display content. Moreover, by using such light emission irradiation conditions, it is possible to sequentially illuminate the hit symbols stopped and displayed at the respective predetermined positions in the order in which the symbol belts in each row are changed and stopped, and to determine that the symbol combination is established. Can be expected while watching the blinking illumination, and the interest of this kind of game can be improved.
