そして、回転駆動源の制御動作は、例えば表２に示すように行なわれる。すなわち、旋回駆動源の回動開始とともに回転駆動源の速度モードを３’とする。これにより回転体はＹ軸回りの回転動作を停止してＸ軸回りに旋回する。この後表２に示すように回転体を正転させその速度を上げてからまた減速し、旋回駆動源を停止させる直前に回転体を逆転させ、高速で逆転させる状態から減速し、停止させるという動作を行なわせるようにする。
【０１７１】
次に、前述のステップ５８０で、スーパーリーチと判断した場合には、回転体５６を低速で半回転させる（１〜２秒の間）（ステップ５８６）。次に回転体５６を中速で２〜３回転させる（２．４〜３．６秒の間）（ステップ５８８）。次に、回転体５６を低速で半回転させる（１〜２秒の間）（ステップ５９０）。
【０１７２】
次に、停止パターンの選択処理（ステップ５９２）を行ない、第１の選択枝を選択した場合には、回転体５６の回転動作を一旦停止し、０．３５秒後に、半図柄分進むよう回動して停止する（ステップ５９４）。第２の選択枝を選択した場合には、回転体５６の回転動作をすみやかに停止する（ステップ５９６）。第３の選択枝を選択した場合には、回転体５６の回転動作を一旦停止し、０．３５秒後に半図柄戻って停止する（ステップ５９８）。
【０１７３】
次に、ステップ５９４、ステップ５９６、ステップ５９８、又はステップ５８２の処理後にステップ５８４に進み、当りか否かの判定を行なう。外れの場合には、ステップ５５４の前に戻ってパチンコ球が始動口に入賞するまで待機する。また、当りの場合には、大役処理を行なう（ステップ６００）。
【０１７４】
次に電源が切か否かを判断し（ステップ６０２）、切でない場合は、ステップ５５４の前に戻ってパチンコ球が始動口に入賞するまで待機する。また切の場合には、動作を終了する（ステップ６０４）。
【０１７５】
上述した本第８実施例では、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回停止位置を第２条件とし、Ｙ軸回りの回転停止位置を第３条件としていた。しかし、本第８実施例は、他の構成例として、回転体５６のＹ軸回りの回転停止位置を第２条件とし、Ｘ軸回りの旋回停止位置を第３条件として構成しても良い。このように第２、第３条件を入れ替えて構成した場合でも、第１、第２、及び第３条件の全ての当り確率は変化しない。但し、第２条件の確率が１２分の１から６分の１に変る。この構成においては、第１条件の表示灯１４４の１つが点灯し、第２条件の図柄、例えば大当りとなる図柄７が特定されると、この大当りとなる可能性のある図柄７がＸ軸回りに旋回し、この図柄７が表示灯１４４の点灯位置に適合する位置で停止すれば第３の条件が揃って大当りとなるので、この図柄７がＸ軸回りに旋回する動作は、パチンコ機の遊戯者に強烈なアピール効果を奏する。なお、図柄７が表示灯１４４の適合位置に停止する確率は１２分の１である。また、上述の如く当り図柄を正面に表示した状態でＸ軸の回りに旋回する動作はデモンストレーション用の表示手段としても有効である。
【０１７６】
なお、本第８実施例は、前述した回転式表示装置の構成を利用して実施できるものであり、本実施例における以上説明した以外の構成、作用、及び効果は前述した実施例と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。
【０１７７】
（第９実施例）
次に、本発明の第９実施例を図５３乃至図５６によって説明する。本第９実施例は、回転体５６に、複数の図柄を表示した回転式表示装置により、ゲームを進行する手段に係るものである。
【０１７８】
本第９実施例では、回転体５６の回転方向の円周を６分割し、そのうちの４箇所に当り図柄であるビッグマーク、ヴィクトリーマーク、数字の７、エースマークを表示する。
【０１７９】
また、回転体５６の周囲には、図５３に示す如き外周回転表示盤３９６を装着する。この外周回転表示盤３９６の外側面面部は２４のブロックに分割し、各ブロックには上述した４つの当り図柄に対応する４個の当り記号４００が四等分位置に配置され、その他の部位には、星形の外れ記号４０２が表示手段として表示される。
【０１８０】
また、外周回転表示盤３９６の外側で図に向って上下左右の四方位置には、それぞれ外周表示の当り位置印５２０を配置して構成する。
【０１８１】
次に本第９実施例の作用及びゲームの構成について説明する。本第９実施例では、外周回転表示盤３９６の当り記号４００が、当り位置印５２０に一致する位置に停止することが第１条件とされる。また、回転体５６に表示された四つの当り図柄の回転方向が、各自対応する当り記号４００に一致して停止することが第２条件とされる。そして第１条件と第２条件とが同時に満たされたときに、当りとされる。
【０１８２】
外周回転表示盤３９６は、図５３〜図５６に示すように、図に向って時計方向に回動した後停止する。そして、図５３、又は図５４に例示する如く当り記号４００と当り位置印５２０とが一致すれば第１条件が成立する。また、図５５、又は図５６に示すように当り記号４００と当り位置印５２０とが一致しなければ外れとなる。
【０１８３】
回転体５６はＸ軸の回りに旋回する（図に向って反時計方向に回動する）とともに、Ｙ軸の回りに回転する（図に向って右から左に回転する）。この回転、旋回動作を同時に実行することによって、図柄を種々の方向に動かした後停止する。そして、図５３に示す如く、回転体５６の約定上の意味としての当り図柄のビッグマークの回転方向が同じくビッグマークの当り記号４００に一致し、又は図５４に示す如くヴィクトリーマークの回転方向が同じくヴィクトリーマークの当り記号４００に一致すれば第２条件が成立する。なお、図柄の数字の７、又はエースマークが出ても、図５５、又は５６に例示するように、これらの図柄の回転方向が外れ記号４０２に向いている場合には、外れとされる。本第９実施例では、外周回転表示盤３９６の４個の当り記号４００が当り位置印５２０と一致する確率は２４分の４である。また、当り図柄の回転方向が対応する当り記号４００と一致する確率は２４分の１である。さらに、回転体が停止して特定の当り図柄が表示される確率は６分の１であり、当り図柄は４個である。よって、全体の当り確率は２１６分の１に設定できる。このように低確率の組み合わせを、回転体５６と、外周回転表示盤３９６という簡素な構成でしかも少数の図柄で多数の表示形態を実現でき、表示器を小形化できる。
【０１８４】
なお、本第９実施例は、前述した回転式表示装置の構成を利用して実施できるものであり、本実施例における以上説明した以外の構成、作用、及び効果は前述した第８実施例及びその他の実施例と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。
【０１８５】
（第１０実施例）
次に、本発明の第１０実施例を図５７、乃至図５９によって説明する。本第１０実施例は、回転体５６を異る２軸方向に回転、旋回させた後、停止した位置で当り、外れを決めるようにするものである。
【０１８６】
本第１０実施例では、回転体５６のＹ軸から最も離間した外周面部を中心角４０度づつに９個のブロックに分割する。９個のブロックには、１個の大当りの文字６０６と８個の外れ図柄６０８を表示する。
【０１８７】
また、回転体５６を納めたカバー部材６０における、回転体５６の周囲には、目盛り板６１０を配置する。この目盛り板６１０の外表面部には中心角１５度づつに区切って２４分割した目盛り６１２を設ける。さらに目盛り６１２における図５７に向って時計の０時の位置に、当り位置表示６１４を配置する。このように構成し、さらに当り状態を図５７の如く、大当りの文字６０６が中央に正立し、当り位置表示６１４に対応する状態に設定すれば、当り確率を２１６分の１にすることができる。
【０１８８】
なお、図５８にも示すように、回転体５６のＸ軸と、Ｙ軸回りの駆動機構等は、図１等に示す前述した実施例のものと同様である。
【０１８９】
次に、上述のような回転式表示装置をパチンコ機に用いたときの、ゲームの流れに沿った回転式表示装置の作用、及び動作について図５９に示すフローチャートによって説明する。
【０１９０】
まずパチンコ機の電源を投入してゲームを始める（ステップ６２２）。ゲーム進行中にパチンコ球が始動口に入賞される（ステップ６２４）。するとその信号を受けた制御部では、回転式表示装置の回転体が回動し、図柄が変動中か否かを判断する（ステップ６２６）。そして、図柄が変動中の場合には、始動口入賞を保留しておく保留玉処理（ステップ６２８）を行なう。また図柄が変動中でない場合には、保留中か否かの判断をし（ステップ６３０）、保留中の場合には、保留処理（ステップ６２８）を行なう。保留中でないと判断（ステップ６３０）された場合には、当りの判定を高確率で行なうか否かを判断する（ステップ６３２）。そして、高確率の場合には、短縮変動処理（ステップ６３４）を実行し、高確率でない場合には通常変動処理（ステップ６３６）を実行する。短縮変動処理（ステップ６３４）は、回転体５６をＸ軸とＹ軸との回りに同時に回転、及び旋回を開始させる。まず、この回転、及び旋回動作は、低速で動作を開始し、すみやかに高速動作に移行する。この高速動作は数秒間維持された後中速動作に移行する。そして、Ｙ軸回りの回転が停止され、このとき回転体５６の前面に表示された図柄がＸ軸を中心に旋回する動作を行なう。
【０１９１】
通常変動処理（ステップ６３６）は、まず、回転体５６をＹ軸回りに低速で回転を開始し、すみやかに中速動作に移行する。この後、回転体５６をＸ軸回りに低速で回転を開始し、すみやかに中速動作に移行する。この後、回転体５６をＸ軸と、Ｙ軸との回りに中速で回転していた動作を、すみやかに高速動作に移行する。次に、回転体５６のＸ軸とＹ軸との回りの高速回転動作を除々に中速動作に移行する。この後、回転体５６のＹ軸回りの回転が停止され、このとき回転体５６の前面に表示された図柄がＸ軸を中心に旋回する動作を行なう。
【０１９２】
次に、回転体５６の前面に表示された図柄が当り図柄になり、リーチ状態となっているか否かを判断する（ステップ６３８）。そして、約定上の意味であるリーチ状態でないと判断した場合には、直ちに回転体５６のＹ軸回りの回転を停止し、始動口入賞（ステップ６２４）の前に戻る（ステップ６４０）。
【０１９３】
また、リーチ状態である場合には、Ｙ軸回りの回転動作リーチ変動処理を行なう（ステップ６４２）。このリーチ変動処理は、回転体５６の回転動作を除々に低速変動にし、この後、回転体５６を超低速で数回転させた後、停止する処理である。
【０１９４】
次に、スーパーリーチか否かを判断する（ステップ６４４）。そしてスーパーリーチでない場合には、回転体５６の回転を停止し（ステップ６４６）、次の当り判定のステップ６４８に移行する。またスーパーリーチである場合には、回転動作スーパーリーチ変動処理を実行する（ステップ６７０）。スーパーリーチ変動処理は、回転体５６のＹ軸回りの回転を超低速にしてから一旦停止させた後、すみやかに高速回転させる。この後、回転体５６の高速回転を除々に減速し、低速に至ってから停止する処理である。
【０１９５】
次に、当り判定を行ない（ステップ６４８）、外れのときには、ステップ６２４の前に戻ってパチンコ球が始動口に入賞するまで待機する。また当りの場合には、大当り処理を行なう（ステップ６５０）。大当り処理は、当り図柄を回転体５６の正面に表示し、図５７に示すように大当りの文字６０６が回転体５６の中央に当り位置表示６１４の向きに向くようにされた状態で停止する。この後、回転体５６をＸ軸回りにゆっくりと１回だけ旋回する。
【０１９６】
次に、大入賞口を開放する動作（第１回目）を行なう。この後、大入賞口開放動作を終了し、次の大入賞口開放動作を開始するまでのインターバル期間中に、回転体５６をＸ軸の回りに１回旋回する。
【０１９７】
次に、大入賞口開放動作（第２回目）を開始する。このようにして、大入賞口開放動作を例えば全部で１８回まで繰り返し、大当り処理を完了する。
【０１９８】
次に電源切か否かを判断し（ステップ６５２）、電源切でない場合には、ステップ６２４の前に戻ってパチンコ球が始動口に入賞するまで待機する。また、電源切の場合には、動作を終了する（ステップ６５４）。
【０１９９】
なお、上述した図５９に示すフローチャートによる動作説明では、回転体５６のＹ軸回りの回転が先に停止し、後にＸ軸回りの旋回が停止するように動作するようにされている。しかし、これとは逆に、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回が、短縮変動処理（ステップ６３４）、又は通常変動処理（ステップ６３６）で停止され、この後に、Ｙ軸回りの回転が停止されるように構成しても良い。
【０２００】
なお、本第１０実施例は、前述した回転式表示装置の構成を利用して実施できるものであり、本実施例における以上説明した以外の構成、作用、及び効果は前述した実施例と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。
【０２０１】
（第１１実施例）
次に、本発明の第１１実施例を図６０、乃至図１０３によって説明する。本第１１実施例は、複数の回転式表示装置を用いて、各装置の回転体に表示された図柄と、その表示態様の組み合わせによりゲームを進行するよう構成したものである。
【０２０２】
複数の回転式表示装置を組み合わせる場合には、例えば３個の回転式表示装置を並べて構成した図１３、及び図１４に示す第２実施例、又は図１８、及び図１９に例示した第３実施例のように構成される。そして、図６０に示す如く３個並んだ回転体５６により、各々の図柄が横一列に並んで表示されたときを当りとする。又は、図６１に示す如く、３個の回転体５６を図に向って上に凸の三角形状に配置しても良いし、更には、図６２に示すように３個の回転体５６を図に向って下に凸の三角形状に配置しても良い。
【０２０３】
本第１１実施例では、上述したように３個の回転体５６に各々表示された約定上の図柄が、同一図柄で、かつ同一の回転角度方向に停止した状態を役の成立としてゲームを進行させることを基本とする。
【０２０４】
（第１表示例）
各回転体５６にそれぞれ表示する図柄としては、第１表示例として図６３に示す回転体５６を９０度づつ４分割した区分に４種類の図柄を表示したものを用いることができる。この４個の図示する図柄は、数字の７、エースマーク、ビッグマーク、及びヴィクトリーマークである。この４種の図柄を表示した回転体５６は、Ｘ軸とＹ軸との回りに回転、及び旋回動作され停止することにより、図６４に示す如き表示図柄と、そのＸ軸の回りに４分割された停止回転角度位置との組み合わせによる１６種類の表示態様を表示することができる。よって、３個の回転体５６の図柄表示態様の組み合わせ時における確率を２５６分の１に設定できる。そして、例えば回転体５６の表示態様として、図６５に示すように３個の回転体５６の全てが数字の７を表示し、しかも各数字の７の停止時の回転角度が０度、すなわち正立している表示状態に揃ったときに、役が成立して当りとなるようにする。
【０２０５】

次に、第２表示図柄例について、図６６、図６７、及び図６８によって説明する。この第２表示図柄例では、回転体５６に図６６に示す如き２個の図柄、すなわち、数字の７とヴィクトリーマークとを表示する。また、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回停止位置を中心角４５度づつの８分割とする。
【０２０６】
このように構成することにより、回転体５６は、Ｘ軸とＹ軸との回りに回転、及び旋回動作され、停止することにより、図６７に示す如き１６種類の図柄の表示態様を表示することができる。
【０２０７】
よって、３個の回転体５６の図柄表示態様の組み合わせ時における確率を２５６分の１に設定できる。
【０２０８】
そして、例えば回転体５６の表示態様が、図６８に示す如く、３個の回転体５６が全て数字の７を表示し、各数字の停止回転角度が図に向って時計方向に３１５度回動した表示状態に揃ったときに役が成立して当りとなるようにする。

このように構成することにより、回転体５６は、Ｘ軸とＹ軸との回りに回転、及び旋回動作され、停止することにより、図７２に示す如き１６種類の図柄の表示態様を表示することができる。
【０２１４】

【０２１６】
これらの図柄中、エヌ・ジーマークは全て外れ、すなわち、図７４の図柄の表示態様中２、６、１０、及び１４は外れ図柄表示態様とする。
【０２１７】
また、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回停止位置を、中心角９０度づつの４分割とする。

【０２５９】
（第８表示例）
次に、第８表示図柄例について、図９９乃至図１０４によって説明する。この第８表示図柄例では、３個の回転体５６にそれぞれ異る図柄を交えて表示するようにしたものである。
【０２６０】
第１の回転体５６に表示する図柄は、図９９に示す如き３個の図柄、すなわち、数字の７と、ビッグマークとヴィクトリーマークとである。また、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回停止位置を中心角９０度づつの４分割とする。
【０２６１】
このように構成することにより、回転体５６は、Ｘ軸とＹ軸との回りに回転、及び旋回動作され、停止することにより、図１００に示す如き１２種類の図柄の表示態様を表示することができる。
【０２６２】
第２の回転体５６に表示する図柄は、図１０１に示す如き４個の図柄、すなわち数字の７、特定図柄であるジャストオールマーク、ビッグマーク、及びヴィクトリーマークである。また、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回停止位置を中心角４５度づつの８分割とする。
【０２６３】
このように構成することにより、回転体５６は、Ｘ軸とＹ軸との回りに回転、及び旋回動作され、停止することにより、図１０２に示す如き３２種類の図柄の表示態様を表示することができる。
【０２６４】
第３の回転体５６に表示する図柄は、図１０３に示す如き４個の図柄、すなわち数字の７、エヌ・ジーマーク、ビッグマーク、及びヴィクトリーマークである。
【０２６５】
これらの図柄中、特定図柄であるエヌ・ジーマークは全て外れとする。
また、回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回停止位置を、中心角９０度づつの４分割とする。
【０２６６】
このように構成することにより、回転体５６は、Ｘ軸とＹ軸との回りに回転、及び旋回動作され、停止することにより、図１０４に示す如き１６種類の図柄の表示態様を表示することができる。
【０２６７】
上述のように各回転体５６ごとの図柄の表示態様を設定することにより、３個の回転体５６に各々表示された図柄が同一図柄で、かつ同一の回転角度方向に停止した表示態様、（但しジャストオールマークは例外）のときを当りとすれば当りの数は２４である。また３個の回転体５６により表示される図柄の表示態様の組み合わせの数は６１４４通りである。よって、当り確率は２５６分の１とできる。
【０２６８】
次に、前述のように構成した１１実施例の動作方法について説明する。本第１１実施例では、３個組み合わされた回転表示装置の各回転体５６を同時に、Ｘ軸、及びＹ軸回りに回転、及び旋回を開始し、その後、第１の回転体を停止し、さらに第２の回転体５６を停止する。このとき、特に第１、及び第２の回転体５６を図柄、及び回転角度方向より成る表示態様が揃ったリーチ状態となった場合には、第３の回転体５６を停止させる際に、先に停止している第１、及び第２回転体５６に表示された図柄と同一の図柄が第３の回転体５６の前面に表示された状態で、Ｘ軸の回りに旋回をさせた後に、最終的に停止させて、当り、外れの表示をするようにする。
【０２６９】
又は、第１、及び第２の回転体５６の回転角度方向に合致した角度で第３の回転体５６のＸ軸回りの旋回動作を停止させ、この後、第３の回転体５６をＹ軸回りに回転させた後、停止させて、当り、外れの表示をする。このようにリーチとなったときに、Ｘ軸回りの旋回動作、又はＹ軸回りの回転動作のみを停止させ、回転だけ、あるいは、旋回だけの変動動作を行なうことで、Ｘ、Ｙ軸両者の回りに同時に回動する通常の動作と異なった動作表現が可能となり、この回転式表示装置を利用してゲームを行なう遊戯者の興味を引き、飽きさせないようにできる。
【０２７０】
また、前述した表示図柄例にも示したように、第２、第３回転体に例えばオール７、又はジャストオールマークといった共通図柄を表示し、図柄のＸ軸回りの回転角度方向に関係しない当りを設けることにより、ゲーム性を向上できる。また、オール７のように数字７という特定の図柄がターゲットとされるようにして、ゲームの遊び方を理解し易くできる。
【０２７１】
回転式表示装置複数を組にして用いる場合には、各個の回転体５６に表示する図柄の数が少なくても、複数の回転体５６の図柄の表示態様を組み合わせることにより、図柄の組み合わせ数を多数にできる。
【０２７２】
また、各個の回転体５６に表示する図柄の数が少ないので、各回転体５６における、１つの図柄を表示するための面積を広く取ることができるので、図柄を大きく表示できる。さらに同じ大きさの図柄を表示する場合には、従来のように多数の図柄を表示するものに比べ、回転体自体を小形化できる。
【０２７３】
【発明の効果】
発明は上記の構成としたので、回転体の回転開始から停止までに種々の動作パターンを設定でき、図柄が当り状態となる確率を低くし、若しくは図柄が当り状態となるときのバリエーションを多くしても、小形化可能にした回転式図柄表示装置を得ることができる。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a rotary display device that stops a rotating body after rotation and displays a display mode at a predetermined position on the rotating body at that time, and a method of using the rotary display device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, the rotary display device is used in a pachinko machine as shown in FIG. 105, a slot machine as shown in FIG. 106, a fortune telling apparatus, and other various devices. For example, in a pachinko machine, when the display device main body 12 is provided in the center of the game board 10 and a pachinko ball wins in the start port 14, the three rotary drums 16, 18, and 20 provided in the display device main body 12 rotate. Stop. When the symbols (numbers in this case) displayed at the stop positions of the rotary drums 16, 18, and 20 are the same symbols in a horizontal or diagonal line, a winning ball is paid out as a hit. Yes. Similarly, in the slot machine, the timing when the three rotary drums 22, 24, 26 are started to rotate by operating the start button 28, and the stop buttons 30, 32, 34 corresponding to the respective rotary drums are operated, respectively. Stop at the same time. When the symbols displayed at the stop positions of the rotating drums 22, 24, 26 at this time have the same symbols in a horizontal or diagonal line, a coin or the like is paid out as a hit.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the display device as described above, the rotation drums 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26 are stopped from rotating by a single motor. Thus, when each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 is rotated about one axis, each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 is There is no room for operation other than rotating in one direction such as left and right. For this reason, even if it is going to provide a variation in the operation pattern from the rotation start of each rotation drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 to stop, rotation of each rotation drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 There is no method other than changing the speed or combining the rotation stop operation, and the operation becomes uniform.
[0004]
Further, since each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 rotates around one axis, it is displayed on each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26. Each symbol moves only in one direction such as up and down or left and right when viewed from the front by stopping the rotation of each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, and stops.
[0005]
For this reason, only the number of the some symbols displayed on the outer peripheral surface of one rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 can provide the display mode variation. Therefore, in order to increase the number of display symbols of each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 is increased in size accordingly. Or each design must be miniaturized. For example, if you try to compose a game with a combination of symbols of rotating drums 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26 arranged in three rows, try to set the probability that the same symbols are arranged in a horizontal row to 1/225. Then, 15 types of symbols must be displayed on each of the rotating drums 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26. In such a case, since there is a limit in visually recognizing the symbols for reducing the size of each symbol, the size of the rotating drum has to be increased, and the display device is increased in size. Therefore, in order to lower the probability that the symbol as the display mode will be in the hit state, or to increase the variation when the symbol is in the hit state, it is necessary to increase the size of the display device.
[0006]
In consideration of the above facts, the present invention can set various operation patterns from the start to stop of rotation of the rotating body, and obtain a rotary display device that can be miniaturized even if there are many variations in the display mode of the rotating body. Is the purpose.

To the display control circuit unit 58.
[0056]
Then, the display control circuit unit 58 controls the turning drive source 98 while sequentially detecting the turning position of the holding frame 86 based on the detection signal of the turning position detection sensor 118, and the position corresponding to a specific symbol display direction. The holding frame 86 is stopped. Next, the rotation position detection sensor 118 detects when the detection element 114 of the rotating body 56 comes directly above the rotation position detection sensor 118, and using this time as the origin, the required symbol is repeated several times with respect to the origin. The rotation drive source 110 is controlled based on the information indicating whether or not the position is moved, and the rotator 56 is rotated by a required angle and stopped so that a required symbol is displayed from the spherical window.
[0057]
Next, control of the lamp 122 and the indicator lamp 126 will be described. The lamp 122 is turned on when the rotating body 56 is rotated.

Only light up and clearly indicate the symbol display direction. Alternatively, based on a command determined in advance by the main control circuit 132, a specific indicator lamp 126 is turned on when the rotating body 56 is rotated, and when the rotating body 56 is stopped, the display direction of the symbol is turned on. It is used to make a hit when it matches the direction of 126.

[0091]
Next, the operation and operation of the third embodiment will be described. First, when the rotation of the rotary motor 244 is controlled, the driving force is transmitted from the motor gear 252 through the third gear 226, the inner gear 214, the small shaft rod 208, the bevel gear member 210, and the bevel gear 186, and the rotating body 56 is Y It is rotated around the axis.

[0094]
Since the configuration, operation, and effects of the third embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first and second embodiments described above, description thereof is omitted.
[0095]
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the fourth embodiment, the position detection portion of the rotating body is improved.
[0096]
(Fourth embodiment)
The fourth embodiment is configured by using the rotating body and the driving mechanism of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
[0097]
When the rotating body 56 rotates around the Y axis, the detected group 500 is arranged at a predetermined interval on the circumferential surface portion intersecting with the X axis.
[0098]
Each detected group 500 is represented on the outer peripheral surface of the rotator 56 in a one-to-one relationship with each symbol 148, 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, etc., as shown in FIG. It is arranged corresponding to. That is, one corresponding design is displayed on each detected group 500 of the rotator 56, and a specific design corresponding to this is detected by detecting a detection signal having 500 detected groups. Is configured to be detectable.
[0099]
For example, when the detected group 500 is configured to generate a maximum of 21 different signals, it is configured as shown in FIGS. That is, each detected group 500 includes an identification element 502 disposed on the circumference and a reference element 504 disposed at the center of the circle.
[0100]
As shown in FIG. 22, the reference element 504 is always arranged at a predetermined position on the rotation direction line 506 that the X axis crosses when the rotating body 56 rotates.
[0101]
For example, when the identification element 502 corresponds to a maximum of 21 symbols, the identification element 502 rotates on a circumference centered on the reference element 504, out of positions obtained by dividing the circumference into eight equal parts with respect to the rotation direction line 506. One or a plurality are selectively arranged at six places (positions 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8) excluding two places on the direction line 506. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 23, in the case of the symbol-1, in addition to the reference element 504, the identification element 502 is arranged only at seven positions on the circumference. In the case of symbol-2, in addition to the reference element 504, identification elements 502 are arranged at positions 6 and 7 on the circumference. In this way, as shown in FIG. 23, the identification elements 502 can be arranged in different arrangements from the maximum symbol-1 to symbol-21. In the fourth embodiment, 18 symbols from symbol-1 to symbol-18 are displayed on the rotating body 56.
[0102]
The reference element 504 and the identification element 502 are composed of detected elements corresponding to the type of sensor, such as a magnet, a magnetic print element, a Hall element, or a light reflecting element.
[0103]
As shown in FIG. 20, the detection sensor 508 for detecting the group to be detected 500 is disposed in the cylinder of the turning shaft 94 of the mechanism support plate 52 adjacent to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 56. The detection unit of the detection sensor 508 is configured to correspond to the reference element 504 and the identification element 502 of the detected group 500 as shown in FIG. That is, the first to eighth sensors are shown in the figure at a position obtained by dividing a circumference having the same diameter as that of the detected group 500 with respect to the rotation direction line 506 with the ninth sensor provided on the X axis as a center. Arranged in the clockwise order. These first to ninth sensors are connected and configured to send output signals to the control circuit unit.
[0104]
Next, the operation and control method of the fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, the rotary drive source is driven, and the rotating body 56 is rotated around the Y axis via the drive mechanism. At the same time, the turning drive source is driven, and the rotating body 56 is rotated around the X axis via the drive mechanism. Then, each detected group 500 always passes through the detection sensor 508 sequentially as shown in FIGS. 24 to 31 along the rotation direction line 506 turning around the X axis. At this time, when each detected group 500 corresponding to symbol-1 to symbol-18 passes over the detection sensor 508, a signal unique to the detection sensor 508 is generated. For example, the rotation direction line 506 of the rotating body 56 is the rotation direction angle 0 degree shown in FIG. 24 (the direction in which the rotation direction line 506 crosses the first to fifth sensors), and the detected group 500 of symbol-1 detects When crossing the sensor 508, the reference element 504 passes through the first sensor and reaches the ninth sensor. At this time, the control unit that receives the output signals of the first sensor and the ninth sensor detects that the rotation direction angle of the rotating body 56 is 0 degree. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22, when the reference element 504 reaches the ninth sensor, the identification element 502 reaches the seventh sensor, and output signals from the ninth sensor and the seventh sensor are sent to the control unit. . Then, the control unit detects that the symbol-1 is passing in view of the condition that the rotation direction angle is 0 degree and the output signals of the ninth sensor and the seventh sensor. For example, when the rotation direction angle is 0 degree and the design is 2, the output signals of the 9th sensor, the 6th sensor, and the 7th sensor are sent to the control unit, and the design is 2 Detected. In this way, the other symbols-3 through symbol-18 are detected by the output signal as shown in FIG.
[0105]
Next, when the rotation direction angle shown in FIGS. 25 and 32 in which the rotating body 56 rotates around the X axis is 45 degrees, the reference element 504 passes through the eighth sensor and reaches the ninth sensor. The controller that receives the output signals of the first sensor and the ninth sensor detects that the rotation direction angle is 45 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the ninth sensor is generated by the reference element 504 and the output signal of the sixth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, the control unit is passing the symbol-1 at the rotation direction angle of 45 degrees. Detect that. The same applies to other symbols -2 to -18.
[0106]
Next, when the rotation direction angle is 90 degrees as shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 33, the output signal of the seventh sensor and the ninth sensor is generated by the reference element 504, and the rotation direction angle is detected. When the output signal of the fifth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. The same applies to other symbols -2 to -18.
[0107]
Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 27 and 33, the output signals of the sixth sensor and the ninth sensor are generated by the reference element 504, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 135 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the fourth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. The other symbols -2 to -18 are also detected in the same manner.
[0108]
Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 28 and 34, the output signals of the fifth sensor and the ninth sensor are generated by the reference element 504, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 180 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the third sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. The other symbols -2 to -18 are also detected in the same manner.
[0109]
Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 29 and 34, the output signals of the fourth sensor and the ninth sensor are generated by the reference element 504, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 225 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the second sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. The other symbols -2 to -18 are also detected in the same manner.
[0110]
Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 30 and 35, the output signals of the third sensor and the ninth sensor are generated by the reference element 504, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 270 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the first sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. The other symbols -2 to -18 are also detected in the same manner.
[0111]
Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 31 and 35, the reference element 504 generates the output signals of the second sensor and the ninth sensor, and detects that the rotation direction angle is 315 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the eighth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. The other symbols -2 to -18 are also detected in the same manner.
[0112]
As described above, in the control unit of the fourth embodiment, the detected group 500 always passes through the position of the detection sensor 508 even if the rotating body 56 rotates about the X axis and the Y axis. When it comes to the matching position, it is possible to detect what the symbol corresponding to the detected group 500 is. Accordingly, the control unit controls the drive of the rotation drive source and the stepping motor that is the turning drive source, so that the desired symbol displayed on the rotating body 56 is directed to the desired rotation direction angle and the window portion of the cover member. Can be displayed. Or, when the rotating body 56 is rotated and stopped at an arbitrary position, the design on the rotating body 56 displayed from the window portion of the cover member is detected and the rotation direction angle to which the design is directed is detected. can do.
[0113]
In addition, when the control unit controls the rotation drive source and the turning drive source, even if an error occurs between the control signal and the operation of each step motor, it is corrected in relation to the detected group corresponding to each symbol. As a result, the control operation can be improved. Furthermore, since the detection group 500 of the rotating body 56 is directly detected by the detection sensor 508, complicated adjustments such as alignment of gears constituting the driving mechanism of the rotating body 56 are unnecessary, and assembly work can be facilitated.
[0114]
Since the configuration, operation, and effects of the fourth embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, description thereof will be omitted.
[0115]
(5th Example)
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the fifth embodiment, the rotating body can be rotated about the Y-axis around the Y-axis with a single drive source.
[0116]
In the fifth embodiment, the rotating body 56 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 is used.
[0117]
(Drive mechanism)
The portions near both ends of the shaft 84 fixed to the rotating body 56 are each pivotally supported by the bearing portion 88 of the holding frame 86. A cylindrical shaft portion 372 is provided at the center of the holding frame 86 as shown in the figure, and this cylindrical shaft portion 372 is fixed to the main shaft 376 of the drive source 374.
[0118]
A rotating body fixing gear 90 that is a rolling member is fixed to both ends of the shaft 84 of the rotating body 56. In addition, you may comprise so that one of these two rotary body fixed gears 90 may be pivotally supported with respect to the axial rod 84 freely.
[0119]
Corresponding to the turning trajectory of the rotating body fixed gear 90 that is a rolling member that rotates about the X axis together with the rotating body 56, a fixed gear 378 that is a fixing member inside from the side wall portion of the housing 50 as shown in the figure. Is projected. The fixed gear 378 has an annular shape and is provided with a tooth portion 380 on its peripheral surface. The rotating body fixed gear 90 is meshed with the tooth portion 380 of the fixed gear, and the rotating body fixed gear 90 rolls on the annular tooth portion 380 along with the rotation of the rotating body 56. The rotating body 56 is configured to rotate about the Y axis.
[0120]
(Rotating body position detection)
A position detection sensor 382 is installed at a predetermined position on the side surface of the housing 50 where the drive source 374 is installed. A detected body 384 is installed at a predetermined corresponding position of the holding frame 86 corresponding to the position detection sensor 382, and the time when the detected body 384 passes directly above the position detection sensor 382 is detected.
[0121]
The output signal of the position detection sensor 382 is sent to the display control circuit unit, and the rotation angle of the drive source 374 is calculated from the number of steps with the origin when the detected body 384 is located immediately above the position detection sensor 382. The rotational speed around the X axis, the rotational speed around the Y axis, and the directional state when the rotating body 56 is stopped are represented by the gears between the rotating body fixed gear 90 and the tooth portion 380 of the fixed gear 378. Calculate from the ratio. Even when the drive source 374 itself has an origin detection function, the direction state in which the rotating body 56 is stopped can be calculated from the gear ratio as described above.
[0122]
Next, the operation and operation of the fifth embodiment will be described. First, by controlling the rotation of the drive source 374, the holding frame 86 is rotated around the X axis integrally with the main shaft 376. At the same time, as the rotating body 56 rotates about the X axis, the rotating body fixed gear 90 rolls on the teeth 380 of the fixed gear 378, so that the rotating body 56 is integrated with the rotating body fixed gear 90. Rotate around an axis.
[0123]
The rotation operation of the rotating body 56 about the X axis and the Y axis is uniquely determined by the rotational speed of the driving source 374 and the gear ratio between the rotating body fixed gear 90 and the tooth portion 380 of the fixed gear 378. The direction state of the rotating body 56 stopped at an arbitrary position can be detected from the rotation number (rotation angle) of 374, or the rotating body 56 can be set in a desired direction state.
[0124]
In the fifth embodiment, by configuring as described above, it is possible to cause the rotating body to simultaneously rotate and swivel in two different directions of the X axis and the Y axis by a single drive source. . Therefore, one drive source can be reduced as compared with the case where two drive sources are provided corresponding to each axis, so that the structure can be simplified and an inexpensive product can be provided.
[0125]
Since the configuration, operation, and effects of the fifth embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, description thereof will be omitted.
[0126]
(Sixth embodiment)
Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the sixth embodiment, outer periphery display means for displaying the turning angle position (rotation direction) of the rotating body 56 is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating body 56.
[0127]
As shown in FIG. 38, a display peripheral portion 386 is integrally formed on the bearing portion 88 side of the holding frame 86 in the drive mechanism for rotating the rotating body 56. The display peripheral portion 386 is formed in an annular shape, and the opening peripheral end portion thereof faces the vicinity of the circular opening window portion 388 through which the rotating body 56 in the housing 50 can be seen. In the diameter direction orthogonal to the rotation axis 84 of the rotating body 56 in the display peripheral portion 386, that is, in the rotating direction around the Y axis of the rotating body 56, as shown in FIG. 39, an arrow member 390 that is a triangular mark member is also provided. Is installed.
[0128]
As another configuration example, as shown in FIG. 40, an annular flat side surface display peripheral portion 392 having a flange portion may be integrally formed with the holding frame 86. In this case, as shown in FIG. 41, an arrow 394 is displayed at a predetermined position similar to that in FIGS. 38 and 39 on the outer peripheral plane portion of the flat side display peripheral portion 392.
[0129]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 39 and 41, the circumference is divided into 24 blocks on the outer peripheral surface of the circular opening window 388 of the housing 50, and a division scale which is a number from 0 to 23 is displayed. .
[0130]
Next, the operation and operation of the sixth embodiment will be described. In the sixth embodiment, when the rotating body 56 is rotated around the X axis, the holding frame 86 having the bearing portion 88 that supports the rotating shaft 84 of the rotating body 56 is also integrated around the X axis. To turn.
[0131]
For this reason, the arrow member 390 or the arrow 394 also rotates around the X axis, and the arrow member 390 or the arrow 394 always indicates the rotation direction of the rotating body 56 around the Y axis. Become.
[0132]
And the number displayed on the outer peripheral surface of the circular opening window 388 indicated by the arrow member 390 or the arrow 394 when the rotating body 56 stops is specified as the direction in which the rotating body 56 faces. In addition, during the turning motion in which the rotating body 56 rotates around the X axis, the current position in the rotational direction around the Y axis of the rotating body 56 is displayed.
[0133]
By configuring as described above, when the stop position of the rotating body 56 around the X axis is set to be finely divided (for example, 36 divisions), it is difficult to visually determine the turning stop position of the rotating body 56. However, the direction of rotation of the rotator 56 can be easily determined by reading the division scale numbers indicated by the arrow member 390 or the arrow 394.
[0134]
Furthermore, since it becomes easy to know the turning direction in which the rotating body 56 is turning momentarily, it is possible to predict whether or not the symbol displayed on the rotating body 56 will stop in a winning state. It allows players to play games.
[0135]
Since the configuration, operation, and effects of the sixth embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, description thereof will be omitted.
[0136]
(Seventh embodiment)

[0140]
The rotational position around the X axis of the outer peripheral rotation display panel 396 is uniquely determined by the rotational speed (rotation angle) of the display panel drive source 406 and the gear ratio between the tooth portion 398 and the drive gear 404. The rotation display board 396 is stopped at a required rotation position, or the rotation position of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 stopped at an arbitrary position is detected.
[0141]
(Drive mechanism)
The portions near both ends of the shaft 84 fixed to the rotating body 56 are each pivotally supported by the bearing portion 88 of the holding frame 86. As shown in the figure, a shaft portion 320 is integrally projected at the center portion of the holding frame 86. A drive shaft of a turning drive source 98 that is a motor for power transmission is fixed to the shaft portion 320.

[0147]
Further, when the seventh embodiment is configured, it may be configured as illustrated in FIG. In the case shown in FIG. 43, the outer peripheral portion of the outer peripheral rotation display panel 396 mounted on the back side of the cover member 60 in the housing 50 so as to be freely rotatable about the X axis is cut obliquely to form the tooth portion of the bevel gear. 410 is formed. A driving bevel gear 412 is meshed with the tooth portion 410. The drive bevel gear 412 is fixed to the shaft 414 of the display panel drive source 406 which is a motor provided on the upper side surface in the figure of the housing 50.
[0148]
Next, the operation and operation of the seventh embodiment will be described. The display panel drive source 406 is controlled to rotate and the drive shafts 408 and 414 are rotated. Then, the outer peripheral rotation display panel 396 that meshes with the drive gears 404 and 412 integrated with the drive shafts 408 and 414 and transmits the rotational force rotates around the X axis. Then, by stopping the display panel drive source 406 at a required rotational speed (rotation angle), the outer peripheral rotation display panel 396 can be stopped at a desired rotation position. Thereby, the specific hit symbol 400 displayed on the outer periphery rotation display board 396 can be set at a desired rotation position. Alternatively, when the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 stops at an arbitrary position, the rotation number (rotation angle) of the display board drive source 406 can be detected to detect the rotational position of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396. As a result, the position of the specific hit symbol 400 displayed on the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 can be detected.

At the same time, as shown in FIG. 50, a required indicator lamp is turned on among a plurality of indicator lamps according to a command from the control unit.
[0155]
In the eighth embodiment, there are 12 indicator lights. 144 The rotating body 56 is controlled to stop at predetermined six locations while being controlled to stop at the corresponding turning position so as to face either of the above. In this case, 12 indicator lights 144 Is the first condition. Further, the second condition is that at which of the twelve turning stop positions around the X axis the rotating body 56 stops. Further, the third condition is to determine at which of the six rotation-split rotation stop positions of the rotating body 56 around the Y-axis. Thus, when there are four patterns of hits with the probability that the first condition is 1/12, the second condition is 1/12, and the third condition is 1/6, the hit probability is 216 minutes. It becomes 1 of. In addition, a desired hit probability can be made by changing each of the first, second, and third probabilities.
[0156]
Next, the operation and operation of the rotary display device along the game flow when the above-described rotary display device is used in a pachinko machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 51 and 52. FIG.
[0157]
First, the game is started by turning on the power of the pachinko machine (step 552). While the game is in progress, a pachinko ball is won at the start opening (step 554). Upon receiving the signal, the control unit determines whether or not the symbol of the rotating display device is rotating and the symbol is changing (step 556). If the symbol is changing, a hold process (step 558) for holding the start opening prize is performed. If the symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the symbol is on hold (step 560). If the symbol is on hold, a hold process (step 558) is performed. If it is determined that the status is not pending (step 560), it is determined whether or not the winning determination is performed with a high probability (step 562). When the probability is high, the shortening variation process (step 564) is executed, and when the probability is not high, the normal variation process (step 566) is executed. The shortening variation process (step 564) includes 12 indicator lights. 144 The control is performed to turn on one by one in turn for 2 seconds. At the same time, an operation of turning the rotating body 56 around the X axis is performed for 1 second. At this time, as shown in Table 1, the operation for turning on the indicator lamp 126 in order can be set in four stages of 1, low speed, 2, medium speed, 3, medium high speed, and 4 high speed. The indicator lights should turn on at high speed and turn on at low speed in the second half. 144 Lights up and the operation is stopped.
[0158]
Moreover, the operation | movement which rotates the rotary body 56 can be set to five steps, S, super-low speed, 1, low speed, 2, medium speed, 3, medium high speed, 4 and high speed so that it may illustrate in Table 1. Therefore, here, as shown in Table 2, the speed of rotating the rotator 56 is increased in four stages from 1 low speed to 4 high speeds in the order, and in the second half, from 4 high speeds to S ultra-low speeds in 5 stages in order. Stop after lowering and display the symbol.
[0159]
Normal fluctuation processing (step 566) is an indicator lamp. 144 The lighting control is executed for 5 or 5 seconds. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating body 56 about the X axis is performed for 2 seconds. And the indicator light 144 In the same way as described above, the control is performed so that it operates at a high speed at the beginning and stops at a low speed at the end. In the same manner as described above shown in Table 2, the rotating body 56 is first increased in speed from 1 low speed to 4 high speed, and in the latter half, the speed is decreased from 4 high speed to S ultra-low speed and stopped. The numerical values in Table 2 indicate the case where the power for rotating the rotating body 56 by the rotational drive source is not decelerated, and the power for rotating the rotating body 56 by the rotational drive source is decelerated to 1/10. Yes.
[0160]
Next, it is determined whether or not the indicator lamp 126 lighting position of the first condition and the turning stop position of the rotating body 56 of the second condition are in a reach state suitable for hitting (step 568). That is, the reach state refers to FIGS. 49 As shown in 144 Is a state of lighting at a rotational position around the Y axis of the symbol. In addition, what is shown in figure is two indicator lights corresponding to the reference line 551 of each symbol in order to clarify the relationship with the display. 144 Is also lit. The indicator light 144 The lighting position of is not limited to that shown in the figure, and any of the 12 indicator lights 144 May be lit, and if the lighting position corresponds to the rotation direction of the rotating body 56, the reach state is established.
[0161]
If it is determined that the state is not the reach state, the rotation of the rotating body 56 around the Y axis is stopped 0.25 seconds later, and the process returns to the position before the start opening prize (step 554) (step 570).
[0162]
If it is in the reach state, 144 A lighting display process for displaying the reach mode is performed (step 572).
[0163]
Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated around the Y axis at a medium speed for 3.6 to 4.9 seconds, that is, 3 to 4 times (step 574). Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated at low speed for 4.8 seconds, that is, twice (step 576).
[0164]
Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated at a very low speed for 2.4 seconds from the three symbols before the specific symbol to be stopped (step 578).
[0165]
Next, it is determined whether or not it is super reach (step 580). If it is not super reach, the rotating operation of the rotating body 56 is stopped (step 582), and the process proceeds to the next determination step 584.
[0166]
Note that the rotation operation of the rotating body 56 about the Y-axis can be set in seven forward rotations and six reverse rotations as shown in Table 1. The rotation operation around the Y axis of the rotating body 56 is determined by the relative rotation operation between the rotation drive source and the turning drive source. For this reason, the seven stages of forward rotation are set as follows. First, as 1 ′, the rotational speed of the rotational drive source is 10 (rpm) (corresponding to 2 of the rotational drive source, medium speed). As 2 ', rotational drive source: 19 (rpm) (swivel drive source: 1, low speed). As 3 ′, rotational drive source: 20 (rpm) (swivel drive source: 1, low speed) In this case, the rotating body stops. As 4 ', rotational drive source: 28 (rpm) (swivel drive source: 2, medium speed). As 5 ', rotational drive source: 40 (rpm) (swivel drive source: 3, medium to high speed). 6 ′, rotational drive source: 54 (rpm) (swivel drive source: 3, medium to high speed). 7 ′ is assumed to be a rotational drive source: 100 (rpm) (swivel drive source: 4, high speed).
[0167]
In the case of reverse rotation, as shown in Table 1, it is set to 1, super low speed, 2, low speed, 3, medium speed, 4, medium high speed, 5, high speed, 6, ultra high speed.
[0168]
[Table 1]

[0169]
[Table 2]

[0170]
Then, the control operation of the rotational drive source is performed as shown in Table 2, for example. That is, the speed mode of the rotation drive source is set to 3 ′ when the turning drive source starts to rotate. As a result, the rotating body stops rotating around the Y axis and turns around the X axis. After that, as shown in Table 2, the rotating body is rotated forward and the speed is increased and then decelerated again. The rotating body is reversed immediately before the turning drive source is stopped, decelerated from a state of being reversed at high speed, and stopped. Let the action take place.
[0171]
Next, when it is determined in step 580 described above that the super reach is reached, the rotating body 56 is rotated halfway at a low speed (for 1 to 2 seconds) (step 586). Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated 2-3 times at a medium speed (between 2.4 and 3.6 seconds) (step 588). Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated halfway at a low speed (for 1 to 2 seconds) (step 590).
[0172]
Next, stop pattern selection processing (step 592) is performed, and when the first selected branch is selected, the rotation operation of the rotator 56 is temporarily stopped, and after 0.35 seconds, the pattern is advanced so as to advance by a half symbol. It stops by moving (step 594). When the second selection branch is selected, the rotation operation of the rotating body 56 is immediately stopped (step 596). When the third selection branch is selected, the rotation operation of the rotating body 56 is temporarily stopped, and after 0.35 seconds, the symbol is returned and stopped (step 598).
[0173]
Next, after the processing of step 594, step 596, step 598, or step 582, the process proceeds to step 584, where it is determined whether or not it is a hit. In the case of losing, it returns to before step 554 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. Further, in the case of winning, an important role process is performed (step 600).
[0174]
Next, it is determined whether or not the power is turned off (step 602). If not, the process returns to step 554 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. If it is off, the operation is terminated (step 604).
[0175]
In the eighth embodiment described above, the rotation stop position around the X axis of the rotating body 56 is set as the second condition, and the rotation stop position around the Y axis is set as the third condition. However, in the eighth embodiment, as another configuration example, the rotation stop position around the Y axis of the rotating body 56 may be set as the second condition, and the rotation stop position around the X axis may be set as the third condition. Even when the second and third conditions are interchanged as described above, all the hit probabilities of the first, second, and third conditions do not change. However, the probability of the second condition changes from 1/12 to 1/6. In this configuration, the first condition indicator lamp 144 When one of these lights up and the symbol of the second condition, for example, the symbol 7 that becomes a big hit, is specified, the symbol 7 that may be a big hit turns around the X axis, and the symbol 7 becomes an indicator light. 144 If the vehicle stops at a position that matches the lighting position, the third condition is met and a big hit is made. Therefore, the operation of turning the symbol 7 around the X axis has a strong appeal effect to the player of the pachinko machine. Symbol 7 is the indicator light 144 The probability of stopping at the matching position is 1/12. Further, as described above, the operation of turning around the X axis with the winning symbol displayed in front is also effective as a display means for demonstration.
[0176]
The eighth embodiment can be implemented using the configuration of the rotary display device described above, and the configuration, operation, and effects of the present embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Since there is, explanation is omitted.
[0177]
(Ninth embodiment)
Next, a ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The ninth embodiment relates to a means for advancing a game by a rotary display device that displays a plurality of symbols on a rotating body 56.
[0178]
In the ninth embodiment, the circumference of the rotating body 56 in the rotational direction is divided into six parts, and the big mark, the Victory mark, the numeral 7 and the ace mark as symbols are displayed at four places.
[0179]
Further, an outer peripheral rotation display board 396 as shown in FIG. The outer surface portion of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is divided into 24 blocks. In each block, the four hit symbols 400 corresponding to the four hit symbols described above are arranged in quadrants, and the other portions are arranged. Is displayed as a display means.
[0180]
In addition, the outer peripheral display hit position mark 520 is arranged at four positions on the outer side of the outer peripheral rotation display panel 396 in the upper, lower, left and right directions as shown in the drawing.
[0181]
Next, the operation of the ninth embodiment and the configuration of the game will be described. In the ninth embodiment, the first condition is that the hit symbol 400 of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 stops at a position corresponding to the hit position mark 520. Further, the second condition is that the rotation directions of the four hit symbols displayed on the rotating body 56 coincide with the corresponding hit symbol 400 and stop. And when the 1st condition and the 2nd condition are satisfied simultaneously, it is made a hit.
[0182]
As shown in FIGS. 53 to 56, the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 stops after rotating clockwise in the figure. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 53 or FIG. 54, the first condition is satisfied if the hit symbol 400 and the hit position mark 520 match. Also, as shown in FIG. 55 or FIG. 56, if the hit symbol 400 and the hit position mark 520 do not match, they will come off.
[0183]
The rotator 56 turns around the X axis (turns counterclockwise toward the drawing) and rotates around the Y axis (rotates from right to left as shown). By simultaneously executing the rotation and turning operations, the symbol is moved in various directions and then stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 53, the rotation direction of the big mark of the winning symbol as the contractual meaning of the rotating body 56 also coincides with the big mark hitting symbol 400, or the rotation direction of the Victory mark as shown in FIG. Similarly, if the Victory mark hit symbol 400 is matched, the second condition is satisfied. Note that even if the symbol number 7 or ace mark appears, if the rotation direction of these symbols is directed to the outlier symbol 402 as illustrated in FIG. 55 or 56, the symbol is removed. In the ninth embodiment, the probability that the four hit symbols 400 on the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 match the hit position mark 520 is 4/24. The probability that the rotation direction of the winning symbol matches the corresponding winning symbol 400 is 1/24. Furthermore, the probability that the rotating body stops and a specific winning symbol is displayed is 1/6, and the winning symbol is four. Therefore, the overall hit probability can be set to 1/216. In this way, a low-probability combination can be realized with a simple configuration of the rotator 56 and the outer peripheral rotation display board 396, and a large number of display forms can be realized with a small number of symbols, and the display can be downsized.
[0184]
The ninth embodiment can be implemented using the configuration of the rotary display device described above, and the configuration, operation, and effects of the present embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the eighth embodiment described above. Since this is the same as the other embodiments, the description thereof is omitted.
[0185]
(Tenth embodiment)
Next, a tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the tenth embodiment, the rotating body 56 is rotated and turned in two different axial directions, and then hits at a stopped position to determine the disengagement.
[0186]
In the tenth embodiment, the outer peripheral surface portion that is the farthest from the Y axis of the rotator 56 is divided into nine blocks at a central angle of 40 degrees. In nine blocks, one jackpot character 606 and eight off symbols 608 are displayed.
[0187]
Further, a scale plate 610 is disposed around the rotating body 56 in the cover member 60 in which the rotating body 56 is housed. On the outer surface portion of the scale plate 610, there are provided scales 612 that are divided into 24 by dividing the central angle by 15 degrees. Further, a contact position display 614 is arranged at the 0 o'clock position of the timepiece on the scale 612 toward FIG. If the hit state is set as shown in FIG. 57 and the big hit character 606 is set upright in the center and corresponds to the hit position display 614, the hit probability can be reduced to 1/216. it can.
[0188]
As shown in FIG. 58, the driving mechanism and the like around the X axis and the Y axis of the rotating body 56 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG.
[0189]
Next, the operation and operation of the rotary display device along the game flow when the above-described rotary display device is used in a pachinko machine will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0190]
First, the power of the pachinko machine is turned on to start the game (step 622). While the game is in progress, a pachinko ball is won at the start opening (step 624). Upon receiving the signal, the control unit determines whether or not the design of the rotary display device is rotating and the symbol is changing (step 626). If the symbol is changing, a holding ball process (step 628) for holding the start opening winning is held. If the symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not the symbol is on hold (step 630). If the symbol is on hold, a hold process (step 628) is performed. If it is determined that the status is not pending (step 630), it is determined whether or not the hit determination is performed with high probability (step 632). When the probability is high, the shortening variation process (step 634) is executed, and when the probability is not high, the normal variation process (step 636) is executed. In the shortening variation process (step 634), the rotating body 56 is simultaneously rotated and rotated around the X axis and the Y axis. First, the rotation and turning operations start at a low speed and immediately shift to a high speed operation. This high-speed operation is maintained for several seconds, and then shifts to a medium-speed operation. Then, the rotation around the Y axis is stopped, and at this time, the symbol displayed on the front surface of the rotating body 56 performs an operation of turning around the X axis.
[0191]
In the normal variation process (step 636), first, the rotating body 56 starts rotating around the Y axis at a low speed, and the operation immediately shifts to the medium speed operation. Thereafter, the rotating body 56 starts to rotate around the X axis at a low speed, and immediately shifts to a medium speed operation. Thereafter, the operation of rotating the rotating body 56 around the X axis and the Y axis at a medium speed is immediately shifted to a high speed operation. Next, the high-speed rotation operation around the X axis and the Y axis of the rotating body 56 gradually shifts to the medium speed operation. Thereafter, the rotation of the rotator 56 around the Y axis is stopped, and at this time, the symbol displayed on the front surface of the rotator 56 is turned around the X axis.
[0192]
Next, it is determined whether or not the symbol displayed on the front surface of the rotator 56 becomes a winning symbol and is in a reach state (step 638). If it is determined that it is not the reach state, which is a contractual meaning, the rotation of the rotating body 56 about the Y axis is immediately stopped, and the process returns to before the start opening winning (step 624) (step 640).
[0193]
If it is in the reach state, a rotational movement reach variation process around the Y axis is performed (step 642). This reach fluctuation process is a process of gradually rotating the rotating body 56 at a low speed, then rotating the rotating body 56 several times at a very low speed, and then stopping.
[0194]
Next, it is determined whether or not it is super reach (step 644). If not the super reach, the rotation of the rotating body 56 is stopped (step 646), and the process proceeds to the next hit determination step 648. If it is a super reach, a rotation operation super reach variation process is executed (step 670). In the super reach variation process, the rotation of the rotating body 56 about the Y axis is stopped at a very low speed, and then temporarily stopped, and then quickly rotated at a high speed. Thereafter, the high-speed rotation of the rotating body 56 is gradually decelerated and stopped after reaching a low speed.
[0195]
Next, a hit determination is made (step 648), and when it is off, the routine returns to before step 624 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. In the case of winning, a big hit process is performed (step 650). In the big hit process, the winning symbol is displayed on the front surface of the rotary body 56, and stops in a state where the big hit character 606 is directed to the center of the rotary body 56 in the direction of the hit position display 614 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the rotating body 56 is slowly turned only once around the X axis.
[0196]
Next, an operation (first time) for opening the special winning opening is performed. Thereafter, the rotary body 56 is turned around the X axis once during the interval period from the end of the winning opening opening operation until the start of the next winning opening opening operation.
[0197]
Next, the special winning opening opening operation (second time) is started. In this way, the big prize opening operation is repeated up to 18 times in total, for example, and the big hit processing is completed.
[0198]
Next, it is determined whether or not the power is turned off (step 652). If the power is not turned off, the process returns to step 624 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. If the power is off, the operation is terminated (step 654).
[0199]
In the description of the operation according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 59 described above, the rotation of the rotating body 56 around the Y axis is stopped first, and the turning around the X axis is stopped later. However, conversely, the rotation of the rotating body 56 about the X axis is stopped by the shortening variation process (step 634) or the normal variation process (step 636), and then the rotation about the Y axis is stopped. You may comprise so that.
[0200]
The tenth embodiment can be implemented using the configuration of the rotary display device described above, and the configuration, operation, and effects of the present embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Since there is, explanation is omitted.
[0201]
(Eleventh embodiment)
Next, an eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the eleventh embodiment, a plurality of rotary display devices are used to advance the game by combining the symbols displayed on the rotating body of each device and the display mode.
[0202]
When combining a plurality of rotary display devices, for example, the second embodiment shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 in which three rotary display devices are arranged side by side, or the third embodiment exemplified in FIG. 18 and FIG. Configured as an example. Then, as shown in FIG. 60, it is assumed that each symbol is displayed in a horizontal row by three rotating bodies 56 arranged side by side. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 61, the three rotators 56 may be arranged in a triangular shape that protrudes upward in the drawing, and further, as shown in FIG. You may arrange | position in the triangle shape convex toward the bottom.
[0203]
In the eleventh embodiment, as described above, the game progresses with the winning symbols displayed on the three rotators 56 being the same symbol and stopped in the same rotation angle direction as a combination. It is based on making it.
[0204]
(First display example)
As the symbols to be displayed on each rotating body 56, as a first display example, a display in which four types of symbols are displayed in a section obtained by dividing the rotating body 56 shown in FIG.

The rotator 56 displaying these four kinds of symbols is rotated and rotated around the X and Y axes, and stopped, so that the display symbol as shown in FIG. 64 and the four symbols around the X axis are divided. Sixteen types of display modes can be displayed according to combinations with the stopped rotation angle position. Therefore, the probability at the time of combining the symbol display modes of the three rotators 56 can be set to 1/256. For example, as shown in FIG. 65, all the three rotating bodies 56 display the number 7 as shown in FIG. 65, and the rotation angle at the stop of each number 7 is 0 degree, that is, a positive value. When the standing display state is aligned, the winning combination is established and the winning combination is made.
[0205]
(Second display example)
Next, a second display symbol example will be described with reference to FIGS. 66, 67, and 68. FIG. In the second display symbol example, two symbols as shown in FIG. 66, that is, the numeral 7 and the Victory mark are displayed on the rotating body 56. In addition, the turning stop position around the X axis of the rotating body 56 is divided into eight parts with a central angle of 45 degrees.
[0206]
With this configuration, the rotating body 56 is rotated and swiveled around the X axis and the Y axis, and stopped, thereby displaying 16 types of symbol display modes as shown in FIG. Can do.
[0207]
Therefore, the probability at the time of combining the symbol display modes of the three rotators 56 can be set to 1/256.
[0208]
For example, as shown in FIG. 68, the display mode of the rotator 56 is such that the three rotators 56 all display the numeral 7, and the stop rotation angle of each numeral rotates 315 degrees clockwise toward the figure. When the displayed state is aligned, the winning combination is established and the winning combination is made.

[0215]
The symbols displayed on the third rotator 56 are four symbols as shown in FIG. 73, that is, the numeral 7, a specific symbol NJ mark, a big mark, and a Victory mark.
[0216]
In these symbols, all the NG marks are off, that is, 2, 6, 10 and 14 in the symbol display mode of FIG.
[0217]
Further, the rotation stop position around the X axis of the rotator 56 is divided into four parts each having a central angle of 90 degrees.
[0218]
With this configuration, the rotating body 56 is rotated and swiveled around the X axis and the Y axis, and stopped to display 16 types of symbol display modes as shown in FIG. Can do.
[0219]
By setting the symbol display mode for each rotating body 56 as described above, the symbols displayed on the three rotating bodies 56 are the same symbol and stopped in the same rotation angle direction. However, if all 7 is an exception), the number of hits is 16. The number of combinations of symbol display modes displayed by the three rotators 56 is 3072. Therefore, the hit probability can be 1/192.

[0268]
Next, an operation method of the eleventh embodiment configured as described above will be described. In the eleventh embodiment, the rotating bodies 56 of the three combined rotary display devices are simultaneously rotated and rotated around the X axis and the Y axis, and then the first rotating body is stopped, Further, the second rotating body 56 is stopped.

Finally stop and try to hit and miss.
[0269]
Alternatively, the turning operation around the X axis of the third rotating body 56 is stopped at an angle that matches the rotation angle direction of the first and second rotating bodies 56, and then the third rotating body 56 is moved to the Y axis. After rotating around, stop and display hit and miss.

It is possible to express a motion that is different from the normal motion that simultaneously rotates around, and it is possible to attract the interest of the player who plays the game using this rotary display device, and not to get bored.
[0270]
In addition, as shown in the example of the display pattern described above, a common symbol such as all 7 or just all mark is displayed on the second and third rotating bodies, and the contact is not related to the rotation angle direction around the X axis of the symbol. By providing the game performance can be improved. In addition, it is possible to make it easy to understand how to play the game by targeting a specific symbol of numeral 7 like all 7.
[0271]
When a plurality of rotary display devices are used as a set, even if the number of symbols displayed on each rotating body 56 is small, the number of symbol combinations can be reduced by combining the display modes of the symbols of the plurality of rotating bodies 56 Can be many.
[0272]
In addition, since the number of symbols to be displayed on each individual rotating body 56 is small, the area for displaying one symbol on each rotating body 56 can be increased, so that the symbols can be displayed larger. Furthermore, when displaying the same size symbols, the rotating body itself can be reduced in size as compared with the conventional case of displaying many symbols.
[0273]
【The invention's effect】
Since the invention is configured as described above, various operation patterns can be set from the start to the stop of rotation of the rotating body, the probability that the symbol will be in a hit state is reduced, or the variation when the symbol is in a hit state is increased. However, it is possible to obtain a rotary symbol display device that can be miniaturized.
