BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a lottery is executed when a game ball wins at a starting port provided on a game board, and a progress state of the game can be changed based on a result of the lottery.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, in gaming machines, particularly pachinko machines, a lottery is made by detecting a pachinko ball that has won a start winning opening (special symbol start winning opening). A pachinko machine that has a function (big hit) that is opened a predetermined number of times (one opening and closing is one round and generally continues for 10 to 16 rounds), increases the winning rate of the game ball, and makes it advantageous for the player. is there.
[0003]
In this type of pachinko machine, a display (usually an LCD display) is installed in the center of the gauge board of the pachinko machine as an effect to notify the player of the result of the lottery. This display is configured with a plurality of rows of symbol variation screens (also including a background screen), and notifies the hits in a sequence when these varying symbols are stopped. By seeing the symbol variation screen, the player is amazed whether it is a hit or miss, so that the player can have a sense of expectation. Also, by placing it in the center of the board surface, it is easy for the player to see, and the movement of the line of sight to other parts of the board surface is minimal.
[0004]
Here, there is a conventional pachinko machine in which two LCD displays are arranged horizontally (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1). Such two LCD displays are not superior or inferior to each other, and the two display screens are regarded as one screen, leading to an enlargement of the image display area.
[0005]
However, in the prior art 1, since the same control is performed by the same display, it cannot be determined which is the main, and the result of the lottery extends over either one or both displays. In some cases, it is difficult to understand because the line of sight is not fixed for the player. In addition, the two display devices are controlled by separate display control systems, which imposes a heavy burden on the control system.
[0006]
Conventionally, there is a pachinko machine in which two different types of displays are arranged in the vertical direction (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 2). In this prior art 2, an LCD display is arranged at the center on the board surface, and an LED display composed of LEDs arranged in a dot matrix pattern having a smaller angle of view than the LCD display is arranged thereon. Has been.
[0007]
In this prior art 2, the result of the lottery is notified on the LCD display, and an effect during the game is performed on the LED display.
[0008]
However, the LCD display is basically not linked to the lottery notification control such as symbol variation by the LCD display, and mainly displays that are not directly related to the game.
[0009]
In other words, the LCD having the function of notifying the lottery result is only an LCD display, and has no visual development for the conventional notification of the lottery result.
[0010]
In consideration of the above facts, the present invention can visually enhance the effect of notifying the lottery result on the main LCD display without increasing the burden on the control system. The object is to obtain a gaming machine that can be arranged in an easy-to-see manner.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention according to claim 1 is a gaming machine in which a lottery is executed by winning a game ball at a start opening provided on a game board, and a progress state of the game can be changed based on a result of the lottery. A plurality of display units having different resolutions, the main display unit having the highest resolution being disposed at the center of the panel, and a sub-display unit that is adjacent to the main display unit and is not displayed alone is disposed. Displaying a predetermined symbol variation pattern using a display and notifying the player of the result of the lottery, and having symbol variation display means for notifying the result of the lottery using the sub-display, When notifying the result, a moving image including a symbol variation pattern displayed on the main display arranged at the center of the board and a symbol displayed on the sub display arranged adjacent to the main display For moving images containing fluctuation patterns, Some of the moving image protrudes from and subsequently as Relay displayed as the other of the moving image, it is characterized in that synchronization is taken to a display control by the respective display.
[0012]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the main indicator is arranged at the center of the board surface as before, and has the highest resolution, so that it is easy for the player to see and the line of sight moves to other parts of the board surface. Can be minimal. The main display displays a symbol variation pattern and notifies the lottery result, while the sub-display supports the notification of the lottery result. For this reason, basically, if the player looks at the main display, the result of the notification can be understood. I can enjoy it.
[0013]
In this way, the main display and the sub-display have superiority or inferiority in the arrangement position and display contents, so that the player can proceed with the game in the same sense as a conventional gaming machine, and if necessary You can enjoy an expanded production effect.
Further, by synchronizing the display control of the main display and the sub display, for example, when a moving image that has been displayed and controlled by the main display (one) protrudes from the main display, the sub control ( On the other hand, the display control of the moving image of the protruding part is performed. At this time, the same display can only recognize that the angle of view is enlarged, but the display form is different, so that the so-called impact is increased and the player's attention can be drawn.
[0014]
The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein the main display is an LCD display and the sub-display is an LED display arranged in a matrix. Yes.
[0015]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the main display applied to the notification of the lottery result important for the progress of the game is the LCD display having a relatively high resolution, and the sub-display that supports the display is the resolution. By using a relatively low LED display, it is possible to visually change the display form (atmosphere) and increase the variation of effects.
[0018]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the moving image is stored in a form according to the resolution of the main display, and the sub-image of the moving image is stored. A moving image to be displayed on the sub-display is generated by thinning out or interpolating the moving image so that it can be displayed on the sub-display with respect to the range displayed on the display .
[0019]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the moving image is stored in advance according to the resolution of the main display, in order to display it on the sub display, the sub moving image is thinned out or interpolated by interpolation. Image data suitable for the resolution of the display can be easily generated.
[0020]

A game board 111 is disposed in an inner area partitioned by the transparent glass plate 110A. In addition, an area surrounded by the arc-shaped rail 112 in the game board 111 is a gauge portion 114 that is a game area.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of nails 116 are driven over the entire surface of the gauge portion 114, and pachinko balls launched through the rails 112 bounce against the nails 116 and are guided by the nails 116. It is going to fall while being guided by the road. In addition to the nail 116, three wind turbines 118A to 118C are attached at symmetrical positions toward the gauge portion 114 so as to change the direction of the pachinko ball in an unexpected direction.
[0023]
Further, the gauge portion 114 is provided with a winning opening 120 at a plurality of positions, and when a pachinko ball enters the winning opening 120, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out to the player.
[0024]
Such a gauge portion 114 has a substantially symmetrical system, and an electric accessory unit 122 is disposed in the center portion, and the display portion 124 is exposed. A special symbol start winning port 126 for starting the electric accessory unit 122 is provided below the display unit 124.
[0025]
Here, the display unit 124 according to the present embodiment is configured by two different types of displays, an LCD display 124A as a main display and an LED display 124B as a sub-display. (See FIG. 4).
[0026]
The LCD display 124A has a very high resolution and is generally composed of millions of pixels at a field angle of 4 to 6 inches. In the LCD display 124A, each pixel does not have a light emission source, and is controlled by an opening / closing degree of a predetermined gradation (8 bits) according to an electric signal, and the brightness of the image is expressed by the transmittance of the backlight. Each set of three adjacent pixels has an RGB color filter. Thus, each pixel is displayed with a predetermined gradation according to the image data, so that a clear color image can be obtained.

The main control board 150 includes a special symbol winning sensor 168 provided at the special symbol starting winning port 126, a normal symbol winning sensor 170 provided at the normal symbol starting winning port 130, and a winning sensor provided at each winning port 120. 172 and a special winning opening sensor 173 that detects a pachinko ball that has won the special winning opening 128 is connected. The special winning opening 128 is provided with a V zone for continuing the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening, and a V zone sensor 171 is also provided in this V zone and is connected to the main control board 150. ing.
[0042]
The main control board 150 is connected to a solenoid 174 for opening and closing the electric tulip 134, a solenoid 175 for opening and closing the opening / closing member 129 of the special prize opening 128, and a holding lamp 200.
[0043]
In addition, the main control board 150 draws special symbols and normal symbols, selects display contents on the display unit 124 based on the lottery result, and outputs a command signal to the symbol display control board 160. That is, in the symbol display control board 160, data of different display contents based on a plurality of types of command signals are stored in advance, and the data is selected based on the command signals and activated.
[0044]
Here, in the symbol display control board 160 of this embodiment, display control of both the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B which are configured as the display unit 124 is executed. That is, after a predetermined command signal is input from the main control board 150 and the display content is determined on the symbol display control board 160, two displays (the LCD display 124A and the LED display are based on the display contents). The image data for controlling the display area 124B) with one image data is generated. FIG. 5 shows a control block diagram relating to display control by these two displays.
[0045]
The command signal input from the main control board 150 is input to the command signal analysis unit 250. In the command signal analysis unit 250, an image data specifying signal for specifying image data and a display to be displayed are specified. The display specific signal is generated. Note that the display device specifying signal may be included in the command signal in advance, or in the symbol display control board 160, the type of the specified image data (symbol variation pattern) as a result of the determination / exclusion included in the command signal. Or the like.
[0046]
The image data specifying signal is sent to the image data reading unit 252. Upon receiving this image data specifying signal, the image data reading unit 252 reads a predetermined symbol variation pattern from the image data memory 254 and sends it to the image data sorting unit 256. Send it out.
[0047]
On the other hand, the display device specifying signal is sent to the display device selection section 258, and in this display device selection section 258, whether only the LCD display 124A is applied or whether the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B are used together. decide. In the present embodiment, only the LED display 124B is not selected, and the LED display 124B is applied as a display support by the LCD display 124A. Hereinafter, it will be described that the mode in which the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B are used together is selected.
[0048]
The result selected by the display selection unit 258 is sent to the image data distribution unit 256. The image data sorting unit 256 sorts the image data so as to correspond to the recognized image areas of each display so as to display all the image display areas of the selected display using one image data. .
[0049]
Here, the image data displayed on the LCD display 124 </ b> A is directly sent to the display synchronization control unit 260. That is, since the image data stored in the image data memory 254 is stored in advance in a form according to the resolution of the LCD display 124A, it is not necessary to change the image data.
[0050]
On the other hand, the image data displayed on the LED display 124B is sent to the thinning / interpolating unit 262. That is, the LED display 124B has an extremely low resolution compared to the LCD display 124A, and the image data stored in the image data memory 254 cannot be used as it is. Therefore, the thinning / interpolating unit 262 thins out the image data to such an extent that it can be displayed on the LED display 124B, and performs interpolation as necessary to generate image data for the LED display 124B.
[0051]
The image data generated by the thinning / interpolating unit 262 is sent to the display synchronization control unit 260.
[0052]
In the display synchronization control unit 260, the image data for the LCD display 124A is sent to the LCD driver 166A constituting a part of the display driver 166 shown in FIG. The image data for the display 124B is sent to the LED driver 166B constituting the display driver 166 shown in FIG. 3 together with the LCD driver 166A.
[0053]
The LCD display driver 166A and the LED display driver 166B control the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B, respectively, and display an image.
[0054]
At this time, in the present embodiment, the display synchronization control unit 260 synchronizes each image display, so as shown in FIG. 7, the symbols displayed on the LED display 124 </ b> B (here, After the number “7”) moves to the left and protrudes from the LED display 124B, the image (number “7”) appears from the right end of the LCD display 124A adjacent in the protruding direction. Relay becomes possible.
[0055]
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the symbol (here, the number “7”) displayed on the LCD display 124 </ b> A moves to the right and protrudes from the LCD display 124 </ b> A. It is possible to relay an image in which a symbol (number “7”) appears from the left end of the LED display 124B adjacent in the direction.
[0056]
In this case, even for the same symbol (number “7”), the way of expression differs depending on the resolution, so that the player can enjoy visual changes.
[0057]
The operation of this embodiment will be described below.
[0058]
First, when a pachinko ball is fired, it is guided by the rail 112 and falls while making an unpredictable movement while abutting against the nail 116 of the gauge portion 114, the windmills 118A to 118D, and the like. Here, when winning a prize at the winning opening 120, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out (prize balls). When the normal symbol start winning opening 130 is won, the normal symbol winning sensor 170 detects this.
[0059]
With this detection, the main control board 150 starts drawing a normal symbol. That is, a random number counter is used to draw numbers from 0 to 9 with a predetermined probability. As a result of the lottery, there is no particular change in the gaming state in the case of losing. On the other hand, if the result of the lottery is a win (for example, a win number of 7 is drawn), the main control board 150 sets the electric tulip 134 provided in the special symbol start winning opening 126 to an open state. Energize the solenoid 174. Thereby, it can be set as the high probability state in which the pachinko ball is easy to enter the special symbol start winning opening.
[0060]
When the pachinko ball wins the special symbol start winning opening 126, the main control board 150 starts a big win lottery with a predetermined probability using a random number counter. When winning / losing is determined as a result of this big hit lottery, a symbol variation pattern (symbol variation pattern) prepared in advance is selected (may be selected with a random number counter), and an effect including the symbol display control board 160 is included. A command signal is sent to the control board related to the.
[0061]
The symbol display control board 160 displays a symbol variation pattern on the display unit 124 via the display driver 166 based on the received command signal. In this symbol variation pattern, there are various effects such as hitting via reach, missed reach, and missed via reach, and the player can wait for the lottery result with a sense of expectation.
[0062]
That is, when the symbol variation control at the time of winning is completed, a jackpot process with a preset number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) is executed. During the jackpot processing, since the big prize opening 128 is almost open, it can be put in an advantageous state by the player. When the jackpot processing for a predetermined round is completed, the game returns to the normal game.
[0063]
Here, in the present embodiment, display of the symbol variation pattern on the display unit 124 is performed using two displays (LCD display 124A and LED display 124B). The LCD display 124A is disposed in the center of the game board 111 and is the position that is most easily seen by the player. Therefore, the notification by the symbol variation pattern is not overlooked. In addition, since the movement of the line of sight from the central LCD display 124A to the other game board 111 is the least, the player can proceed with the game while paying attention to the entire area of the game board 111.
[0064]
The LED display 124B is provided adjacent to the right side from the front of the LCD display 124A, and supports the display of the symbol variation pattern by the LCD display 124A. In other words, a player who only needs to recognize the result of notification (the result of the present / outside) only needs to stare at the LCD display 124A, and the player who wants to enjoy the effect of the notification looks along with the LCD display 124A. It is possible to enjoy the effect more by slightly moving and watching the display on the LED display 124B.
[0065]
Hereinafter, display control on the symbol display control board 160 by the two displays of the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0066]
In step 300, it is determined whether or not a command signal has been input. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 302 and the command signal is analyzed.
[0067]
In the next step 304, a display is selected based on the analysis result of the command signal.
[0068]
When the selection of the display device in step 304 is completed, the image data is read out in step 306, and then the image data is distributed to each display device selected in step 308.
[0069]
That is, in this embodiment, when the combined display of the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B is selected, the image data to be displayed on the LCD display 124A and the image to be displayed on the LED display 124B. Sorted into data.
[0070]
In the next step 310, it is determined whether thinning / interpolation is necessary for the distributed image data. If an affirmative determination is made, it is determined that the image data is to be displayed on the LED display 124B. After decimation / interpolation is performed and the resolution is changed, the process proceeds to step 314.
[0071]
If a negative determination is made in step 310, it is determined that the image data is to be displayed on the LCD display 124A. Since the image data can be applied as it is, the process proceeds to step 314.
[0072]
In step 314, it is determined whether or not the resolution change of all the image data has been completed. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 316 and synchronous display control is executed.
[0073]
In this synchronous display control, images on two displays are linked and displayed in synchronization with each other.
[0074]
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the symbol displayed on the LED indicator 124 </ b> B (here, the number “7”) moves to the left and protrudes from the LED indicator 124 </ b> B. There is an effect that a symbol (number “7”) appears from the right end of the LCD display 124A adjacent to the direction.
[0075]
On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 8, after the symbol (here, the number “7”) displayed on the LCD display 124A moves to the right and protrudes from the LCD display 124A, There is an effect that a symbol (the numeral “7”) appears from the left end of the LED display 124B adjacent in the protruding direction.
[0076]
In other words, the LCD display 124A and the LED display 124B clearly have different resolutions, and even if the same design is displayed, it is displayed in a visually different form.
[0077]
As a result, the player maintains the line of sight mainly of the LCD display 124A, and moves the line of sight to the LED display 124B as necessary, without forcing the player to move the line of sight. Variations can be increased. In other words, since the degree of performance can be changed according to the player's intention, a pachinko machine that can handle various players can be realized.
[0078]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the LCD display 124A as the main display is arranged in the center of the game board 111, and the LED display 124B for supporting the display of the LCD display 124A is used as the LCD. The display 124A is arranged adjacent to the right side from the front. As a result, the LCD display 124A notifies the lottery result that is most important for the progress of the game, and by making the result visible within the range of the LCD display 124A, the troublesome movement of the player's line of sight is eliminated. While being able to eliminate, the player who wants to further enjoy the display effect can expand the effect by moving the line of sight to the LED display 124B. Also, by making the resolutions of the two displays extremely different, even the same image can be displayed in a visually different form, and the gap between the display forms can be used as an effect. it can.
[0079]
In the present embodiment, the LCD display 124A is arranged at the center of the game board 111, and the LED display 124B is arranged adjacent to the right side from the front of the LCD display 124A. If is placed at the center, it is not essential to place it adjacent to the right side. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the same effect can be obtained even in a structure in which the LED display 124B is disposed below the LCD display 124A.
[0080]
Further, the LED display 124B as the sub display is not single, and for example, as shown in FIG. 10, it may be configured to be disposed adjacent to the left and right of the LCD display 124A.
[0081]
Further, the LED display 124B as the sub display does not have to be rectangular, and may have a frame shape surrounding the LCD display 124A as shown in FIG.
[0082]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to visually enhance the lottery result notification by the main LCD display without increasing the burden on the control system, and it is easy for the player to see. It has an excellent effect that it can be arranged.
