[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming facility in which a gaming machine is provided with a display device capable of displaying an image in three dimensions, and a player sits on a chair installed on the front side of the gaming machine and plays a game.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A gaming machine provided with a display device that variably displays numbers, symbols, etc., and which gives a bonus such as a big hit to a player by a combination of stopped symbols or the like is well known by pachinko gaming machines and the like. The display devices of these game machines use displays such as LEDs, LCDs, CRTs, etc., and not only simple numbers and designs but also characters such as animals, live-action images, etc. Production has been added.
[0003]
In order for the display device to start variable display, for example, in the first type pachinko gaming machine, it is a condition that a game ball wins a special symbol start opening, a big hit random number is acquired based on the establishment of this condition, The stop symbol is determined by. When the symbols are stopped, various effects such as scrolling such as so-called reach for inviting the player's interest are added instead of simply stopping in order from the end.
[0004]
Since the display device of the gaming machine has various effects related to the big hit, the display device is the most watched while the player is playing the game.
For this reason, a game machine having a higher impact by displaying a more realistic design and a three-dimensional design has been developed, and a player wants this type of game machine. In particular, recently, a display device that displays a stereoscopic image as a more realistic display has been developed. For example, as a method for recognizing a stereoscopic display image that does not require glasses, a parallax barrier method, a lenticular method, or the like is available. A display device capable of these three-dimensional images is downsized and can be mounted on a gaming machine. Since these methods use the difference (parallax) between images seen by the left and right eyes, the distance and position from the display unit to the player's eyes are greatly affected.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the case of using a display device capable of stereoscopic display, in order to actually visually recognize a stereoscopic image, it is necessary to focus after specifying the position of the eyes, and if it deviates from this specific position or is out of focus. The images appear to overlap, and the effect of producing the 3D stereoscopic display at the corner cannot be obtained.
[0006]
In addition, in pachinko machines, the player follows the ball of the game ball with his eyes when playing a game, so the direction of the line of sight often moves unconsciously, and the viewpoint is not constant, Eye position and focus are likely to shift.
[0007]
When the eye position or focus is deviated, the corrective action to adjust the focus after returning to the predetermined position again requires moderate habituation and takes time. May not be obtained.
[0008]
Therefore, according to the present invention, if the player sits in an appropriate posture on the chair, the position of the eyes can be adjusted to a substantially predetermined position as a previous step, and then the user can easily focus and visually recognize the stereoscopic image display. The object is to provide a gaming facility that can be used.

Arranged side by side on the island facility 3 ′, a player chair 2 for each pachinko gaming machine 1, or a single pachinko gaming machine. A player's chair 2 is installed on the front side of 1 to constitute a gaming facility 3TheAlso good.
[0015]
The pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. 2 is a type that lends a ball using a prepaid card. The main body of the pachinko machine is attached to the outer frame 6 so that the inner frame 7 can be opened and closed. The game board 4 can be seen through, and an upper plate 10 is provided below the glass frame 8, and a lower plate 11 and a hitting ball launching operation handle 12 are provided below the glass frame 8. When a card insertion slot 14 is opened in front of the control box 13, a prepaid card is inserted into the card insertion slot 14, and a ball lending operation button 15 provided on the upper plate 9 is operated, a ball discharge provided on the main body of the pachinko machine is discharged. When the device is activated and the game balls are discharged to the upper plate 9 and the hitting ball launching operation handle 12 is operated, the hitting ball launching device is activated to play the game balls introduced from the upper plate 9 one by one on the surface of the game board 4. Region 16 It can be fired.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 3, the game board 4 is partitioned by a partition member such as a guide rail 17 to form a substantially circular game region 16, and a display device capable of displaying a stereoscopic image at substantially the center in the game region 16. 5 is provided with a tulip-type ordinary electric starting port 18 below, and a variable winning device (which can be converted into a first state in which a game ball is not accepted and a second state in which it is easy to accept according to the operation result of the display device 5). (A type called an attacker that changes the state by opening and closing a horizontally long door in this embodiment) 19 is provided, and a normal symbol variable display 20 is provided below the variable winning device 19, The normal design starting port 21 is arranged in the.
[0017]
The display device 5 includes a mounting board 22 attached to the surface of the game board 4, a case 23 provided on the back side of the mounting board 22, a recessed chamber 24 in the case 23 whose front face communicates with an opening of the mounting board 22, Provided in a bowl-shaped armor portion 25 projecting from the upper edge of the opening of the substrate 22, a winning opening 26 formed integrally with the armor portion 25, and a display window 27 opened in the back wall of the concave chamber 24. The image display unit 29 and the like. The armor portion 25 is a member for preventing the game ball that has flowed down from flowing directly into the concave chamber 24. The image display unit 29 displays a three-dimensional image. In the present embodiment, the image display unit 29 is configured to display symbols in three horizontal rows (for example, “777”) and display them three-dimensionally. .
[0018]
Next, the detailed configuration of the image display unit 29 and the principle of the stereoscopic image will be described. FIG. 8 shows the principle of the parallax barrier method. In FIG. 8, the image display unit 29 has a liquid crystal panel 30, and the liquid crystal panel 30 is configured such that the left image L and the right image R are alternately arranged. The left image L is an image corresponding to the left eye of the player, and the right image R is an image corresponding to the right eye of the player. A backlight unit is disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 30 to illuminate the image display unit 29 from behind.
[0019]
A parallax barrier unit 31 is disposed on the front side of the liquid crystal panel 30, and the parallax barrier unit 31 has barriers 31a and slits 31b alternately, and the barrier 31a is a closed portion so that an image can be seen. First, the slit 31b is an opening and can see an image. The slits 31b are formed at equal intervals. Therefore, a portion between the slit 31b and the slit 31b becomes a barrier 31a to block a part of the image, and by positioning the player's eye at a predetermined position, only the right eye image R is displayed on the right eye. The left eye can see only the image L for the left eye. At this time, a stereoscopic effect is artificially created by showing two images to the left and right eyes according to the principle of the “binocular parallax method”. That is, a so-called three-dimensional effect such as a depth and a sense of perspective that is felt when looking at an object is obtained by viewing different images between the left and right eyes.
[0020]
The distance between the liquid crystal panel 30 and the parallax barrier unit 31 is preferably about 1 to 2 mm, for example, and the distance between the liquid crystal panel 30 and the player's eyes is, for example, the liquid crystal panel 30 A 4-6 inch type is preferably about 50 cm. In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 1, a liquid crystal panel 30 of about 4 inches type is often used because of the size of the game area 16, and about 50 cm is appropriate.
[0021]
As described above, in order to generate a three-dimensional effect, it is necessary that only the right-eye image R is visible on the player's right eye, and only the left-eye image L is visible on the left eye. The player's eyes must be positioned at a predetermined position (a position where stereoscopic viewing is possible).
[0022]
Therefore, the present invention sets the position of the player's chair 2 at a predetermined position corresponding to the display device 5, and thereby adjusts the position of the eyes of the player seated in a correct posture to a substantially predetermined position. The three-dimensionally visible position can be grasped and adjusted by the player's vision based on the positional relationship between the sign means provided on the front surface of the player and the eyes of the player who is seated.
[0023]
First, the player chair 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the chair 2 includes a leg portion 40 erected from the floor surface, a seat surface portion 41 that is attached to the upper end of the leg portion 40 and supports the player's buttocks, and the seat surface portion 41. An abutment portion 44 comprising a waist abutment portion 42 and a back abutment portion 43, which are integrally provided in a standing state at the rear end and abut against the back of the upper body from the waist portion of the player to the back, and the player's head And a head guide part 45 for guiding the position of the part. The positions of the seat surface portion 41 and the contact portion 44 are sufficiently deep so that the player is seated in a correct posture, that is, the waist portion is in contact with the waist contact portion 42 and the back is in contact with the back contact portion 43. When sitting in the (retracted) position, the front, back, top, bottom, left and right positions from the display device 5 so as to be substantially positioned at a predetermined position (stereoscopic viewable position) where the stereoscopic display image displayed on the display device 5 is visible. It is fixed by adjusting.
[0024]
Specifically, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the display device 5 using the 4-inch type liquid crystal panel 30, the user is seated at a position 50 cm away from the liquid crystal panel 30 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 on the front side. The position of the player chair 2 is set so that the player's eyes are positioned. The left and right center of the seat surface portion 41 of the chair 2 is aligned with the left and right center of the liquid crystal panel 30, and the height of the seat surface portion 41 is set to a height at which the player's line of sight is orthogonal to the liquid crystal panel 30. When the chair 2 is installed at such a position, the player's eyes can visually recognize the stereoscopic display image displayed on the display device 5 if the player sits down and the waist and back are in contact with the contact portion 44. It is almost located at a predetermined position (position where stereoscopic viewing is possible).
[0025]
This embodiment is a gaming facility 3 installed in a pachinko hall, and even if a person who has reached the age capable of playing pachinko games has a difference in weight or height, the sitting height is larger than the difference in weight or height. Since the ratio of the difference is small and in most cases falls within the standard range, when sitting on the player's chair 2 and contacting the waist and back to the contact portion 44, the position of the upper body of the player is The chair 2 specifies the range in which the eyes are positioned at the stereoscopic viewing position (the range in which the eyes can be matched with the stereoscopic viewing position by moving the neck and head without moving the upper body).
Therefore, if the user sits on the chair 2, the position of the upper body of the player is specified as the previous stage, and after that, the user can focus by merely finely adjusting the position of the eyes by moving his head a little.
[0026]
In the present embodiment, by using the labeling means provided on the front portion of the gaming machine 1, the player can easily determine the stereoscopically visible position by the positional relationship between the marking means and the eyes of the seated player. It is configured so that it can be grasped and adjusted so that the 3D display can be visually recognized.
[0027]
In the first embodiment of the marking means shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the first marking 34 made of an annular member having the front and rear through-holes 33 is integrally formed with the armor portion 25 on the lower surface of the armor portion 25 of the display device 5. Then, a second mark 36 having a round mark 35 corresponding to the through-round hole 33 of the first mark 34 is directed downward at the upper edge of the opening of the display window 27 located behind the first mark 34. It is provided in a protruding state, and forms a pair of front and rear with the first and second markers 34 and 36. The through hole 33 of the first mark 34 and the round mark 35 of the second mark 36 are shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 when the first mark 34 is viewed in a state where both eyes of the player are positioned at a stereoscopically visible position. Thus, the size and roundness of the through-round hole 33 are visible so that the round mark 35 of the second mark 36 can be seen through the through-round hole 33 and the outline of the round mark 35 is almost overlapped with the inner edge of the through-round hole 33. The size of the mark 35 is set.
[0028]
That is, the direction of the player's line of sight can be specified by the vertical and horizontal positional relationship between the first sign 34 located closer to the player and the second sign 36 located behind the first sign 34, and the first sign located forward. The round hole 33 of the sign 34 is made small, and the outer contour of the round mark 35 of the second mark 36 located behind is made slightly larger than the round hole, and the difference between the opening diameter of the round hole and the diameter of the outline of the round mark 35 By this, the front and rear positions of the player's eyes can be specified.
[0029]
  Therefore, when the player looks at the display portion of the display device 5 in the middle of the game, the player looks at the round hole 33 with the line of sight toward the first mark 34, and the round mark 35 of the second mark 36 passes through the round hole 33.appearIf the head is moved a little in the front-rear direction so that the outline of the round mark 35 is almost overlapped with the inner edge of the opening of the round hole 33, the position of both eyes is brought into a stereoscopically visible position. Can be easily adapted. In other words, the player can grasp and finely adjust the stereoscopically visible position by the player's visual sense based on the overlapping state of the first mark 34 of the armor portion 25 and the second mark 36 on the display side. When the line of sight is moved slightly downward at this position and the image display unit 29 is viewed, only the right-eye image R can be seen on the right eye, and only the left-eye image L can be seen on the left eye. The image (for example, “777”, which is a kind of symbol as shown in FIG. 10) projected on the portion 29 appears three-dimensionally, for example, when it is raised.
[0030]
If the player's eyes deviate from the stereoscopically visible position, the image projected on the display unit 29 cannot be seen stereoscopically. In this case, the position of the upper body of the player is already regulated by the chair 2. The position of the eyes is also close to the stereoscopically visible position, and is slightly shifted from this stereoscopically visible position, so that the degree of overlap between the first sign 34 of the armor portion 25 and the second sign 36 on the display portion side. The position can be easily corrected while looking at the image.
For example, if the opening edge of the round hole 33 and the outline of the round mark 35 are biased to one side and overlap each other, the head position is moved slightly in the direction in which the bias is eliminated, so that both eyes are adjusted to a stereoscopically visible position. Can do.
[0031]
In addition, the first and second indicators 34 and 36 in the present embodiment are disposed so as not to overlap the display unit 29 as viewed from the player side or slightly overlap the upper end of the display unit 29. When the pattern is viewed, it does not get in the way, and when the eyes are misaligned and the stereoscopic image is blurred, the first and second signs 34, It is easy to finely adjust the eye position again by looking at 36.
[0032]
The sign means is arranged in the front and rear with the first sign 34 on the player side and the second sign 36 behind the first sign 34 as a pair, and the degree of overlap between the first sign 34 and the second sign 36. Thus, any configuration may be used as long as the player can visually recognize the stereoscopically visible position. For this reason, the first sign 34 is disposed on the transparent plate material (the glass 9 in the embodiment of the drawing) covering the front of the game area 16, and the second sign 36 is disposed in the game area 16. You may make it possible to grasp | ascertain a 3D visual recognition position visually by a player by the overlap condition with the 2nd label | marker 36 in the game area | region 16. FIG.
[0033]
For example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 11, an inside circle is marked as the first mark 34 on the front or back surface of the glass 9 that is a transparent plate material covering the front of the game area 16, and is in the game area 16. The decoration sheet (commonly known cell in which a design image is drawn) on the surface of the game board 4 is formed by marking a circle as the second indicator 36, and a pair is provided on each of the left and right sides of the display device 5. When the first marker 34 is viewed in a state where both eyes of the player are positioned at a stereoscopically visible position, the circles of the first marker 34 and the second marker 36 are as shown in FIG. The hollow mark of the second mark 36 is visible through the inner transparent portion of the mark, and the gap between the circle mark's circumference and the circle's outer circumference is almost constant. The position and size of the circle are set. That is, the direction of the player's line of sight can be specified by the vertical and horizontal positional relationship between the first sign 34 located closer to the player and the second sign 36 located behind the first sign 34, and the first sign located forward. The circle mark of the sign 34 is made large, and the outline outline of the circle mark of the second sign 36 located behind is made smaller than the circle mark, so that the apparent difference between the diameter of the circle mark and the outline diameter of the circle mark By this, the front and rear positions of the player's eyes can be specified.
[0034]
Therefore, when the player views the display unit 29 of the display device 5 in the middle of the game, as shown in FIG. 13, the player looks at the circle with the line of sight toward the first marker 34, and through the circle, the second marker Move the head slightly up and down, left and right so that you can see the 36 circles, and slightly move the head back and forth so that the outlines of the circles almost coincide with the center of the circle in the hollow opening. By moving, the position of both eyes can be easily adjusted to the stereoscopically visible position. That is, the player can grasp the stereoscopically visible position by the player's vision based on the positional relationship between the first mark 34 on the glass 9 and the second mark 36 on the surface of the game board 4. When the line of sight is moved to the image display unit 29 at this position, only the right-eye image R can be seen with the right eye, and only the left-eye image L can be seen with the left eye.TheAn image projected on the display unit 29 (for example, “777”, which is a kind of symbol as shown in FIG. 14) appears three-dimensionally, for example, when it is raised.
[0035]
Note that when the player's eyes are out of the three-dimensionally visible position, the image displayed on the image display unit 29 is viewed three-dimensionally.eHowever, in this case, as shown in FIG. 15, the first sign 34 of the glass 9 and the second sign 36 on the surface of the game board 4 appear to be in an eccentric state in which the centers do not coincide with each other. Since it can be seen (FIG. 16), it is possible to easily correct the position by slightly moving the head while observing the overlapping state or the eccentric state of the signs 34 and 36. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the position of the eye is shifted to the right side, the second mark 36 appears to protrude to the right side of the first mark 34. Move your head slightly to the left so that In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, when the position of the eye is shifted downward, the second mark 36 appears to protrude above the first mark 34. Therefore, as shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to raise a head a little so that it may be located in the internal center of the 1st label | marker 34. FIG.
[0036]
In addition, since the first and second indicators 34 and 36 in the present embodiment are arranged at positions that do not overlap the display unit when viewed from the player side, that is, on the left and right sides of the display device 5, they overlap the symbols displayed on the display unit 29. If there is no trouble when looking at the design, and if the stereo image is blurred because the position of the eyes is shifted, change the line of sight slightly to the left and right and look at the first and second signs 34 and 36 again. It is easy to fine-tune the eye position.
Moreover, even if the 1st label | marker 34 is marked on the glass 9, since it is a hollow circle mark, a visual field is not obstruct | occluded when seeing the flowing-down state of a game ball.
[0037]
In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 12, a parallel straight line separated by a predetermined width as a first mark 34 is written in the vertical direction on the back surface of the glass 9 which is a transparent plate material covering the front of the game area 16. A decorative sheet on the surface of a certain game board 4 is configured by marking a band with a predetermined width in the vertical direction as a second indicator 36, and a pair is provided on each of the left and right sides of the display device 5. As shown in FIG. 12B, the parallel lines of the first signs 34 and the band lines of the second signs 36 are parallel to each other when the first signs 34 are viewed in a state where both eyes of the player are located at a stereoscopically visible position. The band of the second sign 36 can be seen through the transparent part between the straight lines, and the left and right side edges of the belt line overlap between the left and right straight lines of the parallel straight line, or both the left and right straight lines and the left and right side edges of the belt line. The positions and the horizontal widths of the parallel straight lines and the band lines are set so that the gap between the two lines appears to be substantially constant. That is, the direction of the player's line of sight can be specified by the left and right positional relationship between the first sign 34 located closer to the player and the second sign 36 located behind it, and the parallel straight line and the band line The front and rear positions of the player's eyes can be specified by the size of the left and right gaps.
[0038]
Therefore, when the player looks at the display unit of the display device 5 during the game, as shown in FIG. 12, the player looks at the parallel line with the line of sight toward the first mark 34, and the second mark 36 passes through the straight line. If you move your head to the left and right so that you can see the band, and move your head to the left and right so that you can see the band in the center of the parallel straight lines, you can easily adjust the position of your eyes to the stereoscopic viewable position. it can. That is, the player can grasp the stereoscopically visible position by the player's vision based on the positional relationship between the first mark 34 on the glass 9 and the second mark 36 on the surface of the game board 4. When the line of sight is moved to the display unit 29 at this position, only the right-eye image R can be seen with the right eye, and only the left-eye image L can be seen with the left eye.TheThe image displayed on the display unit 29 appears three-dimensionally.
[0039]
In the above-described embodiment, the position of the upper body of the player is first identified by the seat surface portion 41 and the contact portion 44 of the player chair 2, and then the eye can be visually recognized by moving the head slightly. However, the head position may be guided to a predetermined position by the head guide portion 45 provided on the chair 2 to make it easier to focus.
[0040]
That is, when the player abuts the back of the head with the head guide unit 45, the position of the head guide unit 45 is adjusted to a position where the position of the eyes becomes a stereoscopic image viewable position by regulating the position of the head. Set in advance. If the position of the head is regulated, the position of the eyes is positioned at a position where the stereoscopic image can be visually recognized, and the position can be adjusted more easily. In this case, as shown in FIG. 20, the head guide portion 45 is formed so that the portion with which the back of the head abuts is formed into a concave shape so that not only the retreat position of the head but also the left and right positions can be regulated. The position in the left-right direction of the eyes can also be restricted, and it becomes easier to adjust the position to the position where the stereoscopic image can be visually recognized.
[0041]
During general games, the shooting operation handle 12 is operated with the hand extended, and the upper body is tilted forward in the variable display game on the display device 5 in order to expect the result. When a 3D image is displayed in a posture, the head guide unit 45 moves freely with the back of the head moving away during a general game because the force of the 3D image pushes back and it is easy to move backward. It is desirable to place the head at a position where the back of the head comes into contact when the stereoscopic image is displayed and the head moves backward and the position of the head can be regulated to a predetermined position. Similarly, during a general game, the abutment portion 44 can move back and forth freely in a forward leaning posture, and when the 3D image is displayed and retreated, the waist and back abut and the position of the upper body is predetermined. It is desirable to install in a position that can be regulated by the position.
[0042]
In the embodiment described so far, the player chair 2 remains fixed, but the chair 2 may be provided with a position adjusting means capable of changing the position according to the player's physique. For example, the gaming equipment 3 shown in FIG. 19 is such that the position of the player chair 2 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction. In this chair 2, a rail 50 is provided on the lower surface of the seat surface portion 41 in the front-rear direction as a position adjustment means in the front-rear direction, and a holder 51 fitted to the rail 50 so as to be relatively movable is provided on the upper end of the leg portion 40. It is. When the upper body is moved in the front-rear direction while the player is seated, the rail 50 that is supported by the holder 51 so as to be able to move back and forth moves according to the player's front-back operation, and thereby sits in the desired front-rear position. The surface part 41 can be matched.

The male screw rod 66 is formed with a screw in a direction different from a male screw portion into which one female screw member 65 is screwed and a female screw portion into which the other female screw member 65 is screwed. . Accordingly, when the motor 67 is operated to rotate the male screw rod 66 in one direction, the female screw members 65 come close to each other and the lifting base 63 can be raised, and when the male screw rod 66 is reversed, the female screw members 65 are moved together. The elevating base 63 can be lowered at a distance. In order to ascend and descend the elevating base 63 stably, two sets are provided side by side, and a stepped belt is stretched over a pulley 68 provided at the end of both male screw rods 66, 66 to connect both male screw rods 66, 66. When both the male screw rods 66 and 66 are rotated by driving a motor 67 connected to the end of one male screw rod 66, the elevator base 63 can be moved up and down smoothly while maintaining a substantially horizontal state. . And if the rotation speed of the motor 67 is controlled, the height which raises / lowers can be controlled.
[0047]
  The front / rear position adjusting means 61 is a so-called ball screw type. In this embodiment, a male screw rod 71 is provided in the front / rear direction by a bearing 70 provided on the elevating base 63, and the seat surface portion 41 is provided in the middle of the male screw rod 71. A slider 72 made of a female screw member or a ball spline fixed to the screw is screwed together, and the output shaft of the pulse motor 73 is connected to the rear end of the male screw rod 71. Therefore, when the male motor 71 is rotated in one direction by operating the pulse motor 73, the slider 72 can be advanced to advance the seat surface 41, and when the male screw 71 is reversed, the slider 72 isRecessionThus, the seat surface portion 41 can be retracted. In order to stably move the seat portion 41 back and forth, two sets are provided side by side, and a stepped belt is stretched over a pulley 74 provided at the tip of both male screw rods 71 and 71 to connect both male screw rods 71 and 71. When both male screw rods 71 and 71 are rotated by driving a motor 73 connected to the rear end of one male screw rod 71, the seat surface portion 41 can be smoothly moved back and forth. And if the rotation speed of the pulse motor 73 is controlled, the movement amount in the front-rear direction can be controlled.
[0048]
Reference numeral 75 in the figure functions as a player detection means for detecting the presence of a player by sensing the weight of the player who is seated, and is constituted by, for example, a pressure-sensitive sensor. It is connected to a control device (not shown). In addition, a height adjustment operation unit and a front / rear position adjustment operation unit are provided at positions that can be operated by the player who is seated, such as an armrest or a side surface of the chair 2, and these operation units are connected to the chair position adjustment control device. The front and rear position and height can be adjusted so as to be optimal for one's physique while sitting.
[0049]
When such a chair 2 is installed, when a player with a standard physique sits down, the standard position of the chair 2 (front-rear position) so that the position of the player's eyes matches the position where the stereoscopic image can be viewed. And the height) are set and electrically stored in the chair position adjustment control device. When the pressure sensor 75 detects that the player is seated, it receives signals from the height adjustment operation part and the front / rear position adjustment operation part, and based on this signal, the height adjustment means 60 and the front / rear position adjustment means 61 is actuated, thereby changing the position of the chair 2 from the standard position serving as the base point to a position corresponding to the operation.
[0050]
  Therefore, this player puts the chair 2 in the most suitable position for his physique.PositioningAccordingly, focusing at a position where a stereoscopic image can be viewed can be performed more easily and quickly. Further, if the player finishes the game and leaves, the player detection means (pressure sensor 75) detects the absence of the player, and the high level is determined based on the signal from the chair position adjustment control device. The chair adjusting unit 60 and the front / rear position adjusting unit 61 may be operated to automatically return the chair 2 to the original standard position.
[0051]
The chair position adjustment control device is mainly composed of, for example, a microcomputer comprising a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, etc.OThe standard position data is stored in M, and the CPU performs arithmetic processing based on the program stored in the ROM to control the operation. The data of the standard position may be input in advance before being set in the amusement store, but it is desirable that the data can be rewritten after being installed in the amusement store.
[0052]
Moreover, although each above-mentioned embodiment demonstrated and demonstrated the example of the pachinko game machine, this invention is not limited to this, An image can be displayed in three dimensions by using a parallax in a game area. Any gaming facility provided with a gaming machine provided with a display device may be used. For example, it may be a gaming facility with an arranged ball type gaming machine.
Furthermore, the display device is not limited to the above-described format as long as the display device can display an image stereoscopically by using parallax.
[0053]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, since the player sits properly on the chair and plays the game, the player's upper body is first naturally guided to a position where the stereoscopic display can be visually recognized. Then you can focus by moving your head a little. Therefore, in a gaming machine provided with a display device capable of displaying a stereoscopic image, the effect using the stereoscopic video can be sufficiently exhibited as intended. For this reason, a powerful and enjoyable game can be enjoyed.
[0054]
  And since the player's gaming position is regulated by the abutting portion that abuts the back surface of the player's upper body and the seating surface portion that supports the player's buttocks, the player can simply sit in the correct posture without difficulty. A game can be played, and a stereoscopic image can be viewed with certainty.
In this way, in the present invention, when sitting on the chair, the position of the upper body of the player is specified as the previous stage, and after that, the head is moved slightly to adjust the position of the eyes by focusing slightly. be able to.
[0055]
AlsoSince the player's upper body, particularly the head, is guided by the seating surface portion and the head guide portion that support the player's buttocks, it is easy to position the important eye position. Therefore, focusing can be performed more easily and quickly.
[0056]
furtherBecause the chair is provided with position adjustment means that can be repositioned from the standard position, the player who has the standard physique is positioned as it is, and the game is larger or smaller than the standard physique. Even a person can obtain an optimal gaming position for himself / herself by the position adjusting means. Therefore, focusing can be performed quickly and easily regardless of the physique.
[0057]
AndSince the chair has player detection means for detecting the presence or absence of a seated player, the player detection means detects that the player who has been seated is gone, and automatically returns to the standard position. The next player can focus quickly and easily without being confused. In addition, since the chair automatically returns to the standard position when there is no player, it is not necessary for the store clerk to return the position of the chair each time, which contributes to labor saving.
