BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game console in which a reel on which a pattern is drawn is rotated, and when the reel is stopped, a specific pattern is enjoyed on a straight line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a slot machine, for example, a pattern as shown in FIG. 9 is arranged on each of the reels 101, 102 and 103, which will be described later, corresponding to the stop positions of each reel.

[0003] In recent years, the appearance and exterior of a slot machine have been increased in consideration of increasing a player's willingness to play and interest. One of the areas of interest to players is
There is a reel pattern that can be seen through the slot window of the slot machine during play. Many new designs have been proposed for designs, but at present the layout (printing) position of the designs has not been improved. For example,
The conventional design on the reel has been devised in many ways in the picture itself.However, the design is simply monotonous in that the design is regularly arranged in a predetermined position and printed. Nothing changes.

[0004] The slot machine, after inserting a game medal,
By operating the start lever to start the reel rotation, pressing the stop button, aligning the pattern on the straight line serving as the index, and stopping, paying out the number of medals according to the specific pattern combination to the player In the game, the stop position of the reel is determined by whether or not a specific pattern has been won as a result of the internal lottery.If a winning is made, the specific pattern is aligned on the activated line by the timing of pressing the stop button of the player. It is determined whether the reel can be stopped.

[0005] However, the operation of aligning the specific pattern on the active line largely depends on the skill of the player, and even a beginner who is not skilled in the game has an active line even though he has won the internal lottery. In many cases, the player does not press the stop button at the time of aligning the picture on the top and misses the medal, which is one of the difficult factors of the game for beginners.

[0006]

Attached. That is, for example, a band 702 is printed on the left edge as the background of the picture on the reel, and the right edge 701 of the band is bent or formed on the reel at a specific pattern to be emphasized so that it is easy to see. The reference portion is provided with a change in the thickness (in FIG. 7, the portion of “7” in the pattern is made thinner, and accordingly, a change in which the band is narrower to the left is given). By arranging the band on the reel so that the specific pattern is easy to press in this way, even a beginner player can set the stop button aiming at the band corresponding to the specific pattern during rotation of the reel. By pressing
The reel can be stopped at a specific pattern on the reel, and the game can be more enjoyed.

That is, by providing the band with a feature that gives a guide for stopping the specific pattern on the reel at the stop position when the reel rotates, even a beginner can align the reel with the specific pattern in the reel display window. It becomes easy to stop. The characteristic feature of this guide is that the width of the band is wide or narrow, so that the shape of the band corresponds to the specific pattern so that the position of the specific pattern can be recognized when the reel rotates. This can be achieved by providing a configuration having characteristics.

Furthermore, by sequentially (continuously) changing the lightness, darkness, shade, and color of the color of the band line, the position of the specific picture can be easily seen even by a beginner.

Further, it is needless to say that the portion of the reel on which the band is applied is not limited to the left edge, and may be on the right or on the background of the picture.

In the above description, a band is provided on the background of the pattern, and the reel is provided with such a feature that the reel can be easily stopped at a specific pattern. By giving the feature that the position of the specific pattern aligned with the line is specified, the player can know the position of the specific pattern.

By pressing the stop button aiming at a specific picture with a target of the corresponding reel feature, it becomes possible to stop the specific picture at the winning line on the reel, and the game can be more enjoyed.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 8 is a view showing an arrangement of reel patterns for explaining Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

The configuration of the slot machine is the same as that described in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will not be repeated. The control is the same as the control described in the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. The features of the second embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

The feature of the second embodiment resides in the arrangement of pictures on the reel. In other words, on the reel, an unbalanced arrangement is made for the entire pattern, and the unbalanced arrangement of the pattern is used as a reference section. Provided is an amusement table in which a reference portion has a feature of being easily viewed when a reel is rotated, so that even a beginner can easily stop a specific pattern at a winning line.

As one example of the unbalanced arrangement of the pictures in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the center position of each picture is sequentially (continuously) shifted to the left and right, and this is referred to as a reference portion. The configuration is such that the position of the specific pattern is easily visible to the player when the reels rotate.

By shifting the center portion of the pattern to the left or right in this way, even if the beginner player does not know the pattern, the center position of the entire pattern appears to swing right and left.
Therefore, at a place corresponding to a place of a predetermined shake of the left and right shake of the entire pattern (for example, when the shake is largely left), a specific pattern to be aligned with a winning line when a lottery is won is arranged,
If it is set as the reference section, even a beginner player can determine the position of the specific pattern while the reel is rotating, and therefore, presses the stop button aiming at the specific pattern as a target (refer to) the position corresponding to this specific pattern. Accordingly, it is easy to stop the reel so that the specific pattern on the reel comes on the winning line.

As another example of the unbalanced arrangement of the pattern, as shown in the bell pattern in FIG.
45 degrees, 90 degrees, etc.
A pattern that is rotated and moved by 180 degrees, 180 degrees, etc., a target moved pattern (a pattern copied on a mirror), or a combination of the moving patterns is arranged to obtain a different pattern from a normal pattern to obtain a reference portion. As a result, not only beginners but also those who are accustomed to the game console can change the pattern further and provide a variety of game consoles, even for beginners,
It is possible to provide an amusement platform where advanced players can enjoy the game.

(Embodiment 3) In the first to third embodiments, when a lottery is won, the reference portion of the rotation timing of the specific pattern to be aligned on the winning line is changed over the entire reel to change the background of the reel. , And provided a configuration for grasping or discriminating based on a change in a picture.

In the third embodiment, another embodiment of a reference portion which can obtain the timing of rotation of a specific pattern to be aligned on a winning line is provided. Furthermore, an amusement platform for a game player with a visually impaired to enjoy the game is provided.

One of them is that, when a lottery of a game is won, the specific picture is projected by a backlight every time the corresponding specific picture passes through the reel display window 104 or a winning line therein, and a reference section is displayed. By doing so, even a beginner can easily align the specific pattern on the winning line.

The other is that, when a lottery of a game is won, each time the corresponding specific picture passes through the reel display window 104 or a pay line therein, the specific picture reel display window 104 or the winning prize is sounded. By notifying the passing on the line and using this as the reference portion, not only a beginner but also a player with an eye disability can easily align the specific pattern on the winning line.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, the game can be further changed by combining these embodiments.

Further, the lighting of the backlight and the notification by sound may be performed by simulating the backlight or uttering a sound at a predetermined small rate without necessarily winning the lottery, thereby further increasing the thrill of the game. There can be.

In this embodiment, the variety of patterns has been described by taking a slot machine as an example. However, when a spinning reel is provided on a ball-playing game table such as a pachinko machine (for example, when a hit ball enters or passes through a predetermined winning opening). However, the present invention is not limited by this embodiment.

As explained above, according to the present invention, when a lottery is won, a player can relatively easily align a specific pattern to be stopped with reference to a reference portion to a winning line, There is an effect of making the slot machine game more interesting and changing the player, increasing the willingness to play, and providing an amusement table for enjoying the game.
