The control IC 11 is for performing display control, that is, scanning control of the LCD color panel 2 based on a command input from the CPU 8. The LCD color panel 2 has X driver circuits 17, 17 and Y driver circuits 18,
18 is provided for driving the divided display surfaces a to f and is controlled by the XY control circuit 19.

Note that the above-mentioned timings for reading from the CG.ROM 7, writing to the V.RAM 9 and inputting character data to the XY control circuit 19 are the clock elements 20 externally attached to the control IC 11, respectively.
The basic clock (not shown) of FIG.

Then, the control IC 11 once writes the character data of the identification information from the CG.ROM 7 to the V.RAM 9 according to the game state, and then sequentially inputs the character data from the V.RAM 9 to the XY control circuit 19, and the X- Y control circuit 19 is X
Either character is displayed on the LCD color panel 2 via the driver circuit 17 and the Y driver circuit 18.

For example, the demo screen and the message screen are statically displayed by the XY control circuit 19 on the entire LCD color panel 2 as shown in FIG. Is 1 for each
It consists of 92 bytes of character data.

When a plurality of demo screens (n = integer) are required, 192n bytes of character data are required. Also, in the variable display of the identification information, three pairs of divided display planes in which seven types of identification information are arranged vertically,
D, the divided display planes B and H, and the divided display planes C and C are individually scrolled. The animation for this scroll is for each pair of divided display planes A, D, R, H, H, and H. , 24 character data each.

That is, the character data of the identification information "1" to "7" is repeated as a moving image three times and is controlled to be displayed on the divided display planes A, D, B, H, H and H of each pair.

In the present invention, the control IC 11 is C-
Specific addresses of G.ROM7, for example, only the addresses corresponding to the upper left corner positions of the divided display planes A, B, and C are designated in each column unit, that is, in each pair of divided display planes A, D, B, H, H, and H. Thereby, each information including the identification information is displayed on the LCD color panel 2.

When the control IC 11 continues to specify the specific address for the stop time, the identification information is stopped and displayed. If all three columns of identification information are stopped and displayed,
The control IC 11 is centered on the boundary line L and is 1 to the left center right
Assign them to the upper and lower two rows, respectively (see FIG. 8).

Further, since the vertical and horizontal dimensions are determined for each of the divided display surfaces a to f, as described above, the identification information arranged in the front and rear rows of the stop identification information is located above and below the boundary line L. Is also stopped and displayed at the same time (see FIG. 3).

Further, by gradually rewriting the character data of each identification information from the lower part of FIG. 3 to the upper part of the specified specific address according to the scrolling speed at every predetermined time, the identification information is sequentially displayed one by one. .

Further, in the reach state, the control IC 11 reads out the reach state stop material data of the identification information forming the reach state from the CG.ROM 7 based on the generation of the reach signal inputted from the CPU 8, and outputs it to the V.RAM.
9 is displayed, and any one of the divided display surfaces a to f that is being reached is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the others by the color type (see FIG. 7).

As a result, the CPU 8 can inform and display the reach state to the player. In the present embodiment, the stop identification information for the divided display surfaces a to i in the reach state and the stop identification information corresponding to the reach state stop material data are exchanged with each other at a predetermined timing.

The jackpot character data is used when a right advantageous to the player is generated, and is composed of specific state still image material data and major role still image material data. The specific state still image material data is for displaying the fact that a right has occurred, and the major role still image material data is mainly used for decoration to bring about a game change during the major role processing.

The CG.ROM 7 is provided with three types of groups as color data, and each group is composed of color data for eight colors. Each of the three types of groups is provided with a color data storage area for eight colors, for a total of 24 colors, and each storage area is hereinafter referred to as a palette or palette.

RGB is composed of 3-bit data,
"1" is set to "ON state" and "0" is set to "OFF state". For example, in the first group, the palette is R
Both GB indicate black when the color is "0", and the palette indicates red when the color is "1", "0", and "0" in the order of RGB, and so on.
When the palette is "0", "1", "0", green is displayed. When the palette is "0", "0", "1", blue is displayed. When the palette is "1", "1", "0", yellow is displayed. , The palette is "0",
"1", "1" for cyan, palette "1",
"0" and "1" store magenta, and palettes store "1", "1" and "1" white.
On the other hand, in the second and third groups, all or part of each pallet is composed of different color combinations.

As described above, each group is composed of 8 color data, and although each color data is common, a combination of color data corresponding to each pallet, in other words, a CG.ROM 7 storing color data.
Have different addresses.

Then, the control IC 11 selects one of the groups and adjusts the dots forming the above-mentioned pixels to different color tones based on the selected group.
As a result, the LCD color panel 2 is displayed in a color scheme based on any of the color tones of the group.

From any of the groups selected from the above, it is possible to change the LCD color without changing the image data of any character data by simply changing to any of the other groups different from the selected one. The color arrangement, that is, the color tone (or brightness) on the panel 2 can be changed easily and quickly.

For example, if the same color having different brightness is stored in the palettes of the same number of plural kinds of groups and the brightness is gradually decreased (or increased) in the ascending order of the group number, it is displayed on the LCD color panel 2. By changing the group of the predetermined character data in ascending order of the group number, the character data can be displayed in a melted (melted) state in stages.

The CPU 8 is provided with an infinite counter (or a random number table) which is not shown in the figure, and in accordance with the winning timing to the starting winning port 6, the CPU 8 outputs stop symbol data corresponding to the stop identification information from the infinite counter for each line. Select to
A control signal corresponding to the data is sent from the CPU 8 to the I / F circuit.
It is input to the control IC 11 via 10.

In parallel with this, the control IC 11 changes the identification information on the LCD color panel 2 for a predetermined time at the time of winning the start winning opening 6, and then the stop pattern of each row in the order of left row, middle row and right row. The stop identification information corresponding to the data is sequentially displayed.

In displaying this stop identification information, when the left row and the middle row are in the reach state with the same stop identification information, C
The PU 8 inputs the reach signal to the control IC 11. As a result, the control IC 11 displays the split display screens A, B, D, and E in the reach state and the other split display screens C and H.
The display control is performed in different modes depending on the reach state stop material data described above. The above-described different aspect is not limited to the above-described replacement at a predetermined timing with different colors, and is not limited to the above-described one, and the divided display surfaces A, B, D, and E in the reach state and the other divided display surfaces C, Any form may be used as long as it can be distinguished.

Next, when the identification information on the divided display surfaces C and F is stopped from the reach state, the CPU 8 determines whether or not the combination of the stop identification information corresponding to the stop symbol data is the specific identification information, and the specific identification is performed. If it is information, a right advantageous to the player is generated.

Next, the control procedure of the pachinko machine body according to the above configuration will be described below. First, when power is supplied from the power supply circuit, the CPU 8 is initialized by the reset circuit, and at the same time, the CPU 8 performs initialization processing on each part of the pachinko machine body 3.

Then, the control IC 11 reads the demo screen material data at the time of initial setting from the CG.ROM 7 in response to a control signal input from the CPU 8. Then, the read demo screen material data is written in the V.RAM 9 and the demo screen is displayed on the LCD color panel 2.

At this time, the control IC 11 designates only the storage address of the CG.ROM 7 corresponding to the upper left corner positions of the divided display screens a, b, and c, and sets the demo screen material data to the divided display screen a of each pair. CG.ROM7 in units of D, R, H, H, H
Read from.

During this display, the CPU 8 is in a waiting state for detecting the start winning ball until the start of the game, and the starting winning opening 6
If there is a winning ball in, the symbol automatic stop timer (not shown) is started. Next, the moving image scrolling from the upper side to the lower side shown in FIG. 5 in order to variably display the identification information of the left row, the middle row, and the right row is started according to the procedure described above.

Here, the control IC 11 does not designate a plurality of addresses, but designates only the storage addresses of the CG.ROM 7 corresponding to the upper left corner positions of the divided display planes A, B and C, and identifies each identification information in the LCD color. Although it is displayed on the panel 2 in a variable manner,
In the variable display, the above storage address designation corresponds to the upper left corner of the identification information "7" at the uppermost position in Fig. 3, and the moment the storage address in CG.ROM7 is designated, the lowest position immediately in Fig. 3 is displayed. Only the storage address of the CG.ROM 7 corresponding to the upper left corner position of the identification information “7” located second from is specified.

This makes it possible to simplify the variable display of the identification information, particularly the structure of the moving picture program relating to the boundaries of the identification information located at both ends of the arrangement for convenience, as compared with the case where only one type of character data of the identification information is stored. In addition, smooth video can be displayed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the identification information for one row and three columns is stopped and displayed on the LCD color panel 2 and at the same time the identification information arranged in the columns before and after this stop identification information is stopped and displayed has been described. Even when the identification information of a plurality of lines is stopped and displayed at the same time, the control IC 11 may read the character data in units of divided display surfaces corresponding to the number of lines.

In this case, as in this embodiment, the CG.ROM 7
Not only one type of character data of identification information is stored in, but in addition to the identification information located at one end of the arrangement for the sake of convenience described above, the number of lines equal to the number of lines of identification information in which adjacent identification information is stopped and displayed is stopped. The character data of the identification information is stored as a redundant portion of the character data of the identification information.

Next, based on the above-mentioned symbol automatic stop timer, it is determined whether or not the left row identification information in the variable display and the called left row stop symbol data match. If they match, the fluctuation of the left row identification information is stopped, while if they do not match, the fluctuation display is continued until they match.

Next, the CPU 8 determines based on the infinite counter whether or not the middle line identification information in the variable display and the called middle line stop symbol data match, and if they match, the middle line identification information changes. On the other hand, when they do not match, the variable display is continued until they match.

If the left-row stop identification information and the middle-row stop identification information among the left-row identification information and the middle-row identification information that are stopped and displayed match, the CPU 8 sends the reach signal via the I / F circuit 10. Input to control IC11. Thereby, the CPU 8 sets the reach flag, and then the reach states of the left-row stop identification information and the middle-row stop identification information are displayed on the LCD color panel 2 as described above.

Next, a not-shown reach timer is started, and the speed of change of the right-row identification information, in other words, the scroll speed from the upper side to the lower side is switched to be slower than the change (scroll) speed of the current moving image, and this state is set as described above. Continue until the reach timer expires, and at the same time the reach flag is cleared.

Then, the right row identification information in the variable display and the called right row stop symbol data are compared and judged until they match, and if they match, the variable display of the right row identification information is shifted to the stop display.

If the left-row stop identification information, the middle-row stop identification information, and the right-row stop identification information that are stopped and displayed do not all match, an end wait timer (not shown) is started, and based on the time-up. Return to the initial state.

On the other hand, the CPU 8 determines whether or not the left-row stop identification information, the middle-row stop identification information, and the right-row stop identification information, which are stopped and displayed, all match, based on the infinite counter, and they match. In that case, the fact is displayed on the LCD color panel 2 based on the still image material data related to the important role occurrence display.

[0090]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, since the identification information is displayed together with the identification information arranged in the front and rear rows, the arrangement of the identification information can be easily analogized during the game.
It can be memorized and suppresses the decrease in the willingness to play by reducing the cause of the decrease in the concentration on the pachinko game. Each piece of identification information stored in the memory is stored one by one in order from the predetermined address in accordance with the variable display order, and further, the identification information having the character data of the minimum value or the maximum value of the stored address as a part and adjacent to the identification information. In the case where the display control circuit is provided with a memory in which each character data forming one or more identification information is stored adjacent to the maximum value or the minimum value of the storage address according to the order of variable display, identification is performed by the redundant data. Since moving images and still images of information can be easily programmed, the development cost can be reduced by shortening the development period.

When the display control circuit displays the identification information based on the designation of the specific address of the memory storing each character data forming the identification information displayed in the redundant display area, the identification information of a plurality of columns is Since it is displayed only by designating one address and it is not necessary to designate a plurality of addresses, the development cost can be reduced by shortening the development period.
