  However, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, since there is a display device behind the space in which the game ball can move in the variable winning device, the game ball and the display fit in the same field of view, and the game ball moves. The display effects overlap, making it difficult for the player to check the game ball, especially when the game ball passes through the special area (V zone), and the fun of the wing game is reduced. There was a problem.

  In addition, since the display device is incorporated inside the variable winning device, the structure of the space in which the game ball moves becomes complicated, and it becomes more difficult to check the game ball, and the display device becomes smaller due to the limitation of the arrangement space. There was a problem that the production by display was not powerful and was not interesting. Further, since the player generally confirms the game ball itself, there is also a problem that there is no meaning of the display itself.

  Furthermore, in the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the display device is provided in front of the special area (V zone) in the variable prize device, the display device is further reduced, and the display effect is not powerful and interesting. There was a problem of being scarce. Further, the display content displayed on the display device is merely an effect display on the display device that the player has already grasped as a result of the game (passed through the special area (V zone)), and the display There is also a problem that the content is not so meaningful as information given to the player.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the problems of the prior art as described above, and enables a player to easily display a powerful display in front of the winning device and is important for display contents performed on the display device. In addition to the game balls that move in the winning device, various effects are made with images, making it easier for the player to clearly see that the game balls have passed through the special area, It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can make the most of the fun of physical games.

The gist of the present invention for achieving the above-described object resides in the invention of the following section.

When the winning detection means (124) detects a game ball, if the effect image is being displayed, at least the winning device (24) displays that the game ball has won, while the special area If it is displayed that the game ball has passed (25), and if it is already displayed on the winning device (24) that the game ball has been won, the fact that the game ball has won the winning device (24) is displayed. A gaming machine (1) characterized by not performing display .

The present invention operates as follows.
According to the gaming machine (1) described in [1], the display device (1000) is provided in front of the winning device (24) in the gaming area (3), and the display device (1000) At least a transparent display area (1010) that can be displayed in front of the space of the winning device (24) is provided, and display of images on the display device (1000) is controlled by the display control means (300). In particular, under the control of the display control means (300), an effect image capable of concealing the space is displayed at a position covering the front of the space of the winning device (24).

  As described above, when the effect image is displayed so as to hide the space in front of the space where the game ball won in the winning device (24) can move, the space which is the greatest concern of the player. Whether the game ball inside passes through the special area (25) or the general area (26) is hidden and is unknown. Therefore, when the special area detecting means (125) detects a game ball, the game ball passes through at least the special area (25) if the effect image is being displayed under the control of the display control means (300). Execute the display to the effect.

  Thereby, it is possible to easily confirm the result of the game ball passing through the special area (25) by the image at a position easy for the player to see. In addition, when the display device (1000) is not displaying, it is possible to check the configuration inside the space of the winning device (24) through the transparent display area (1010), thus maintaining fairness. Can not distrust the player.

Further, when the winning detection means (124) detects the game ball by the display control means (300), if the effect image is being displayed, at least an indication that the game ball has won the winning device (24). On the other hand, if the game ball has been displayed in the special area (25), and if the game ball has already been displayed on the winning device (24), the game ball is displayed on the winning device (24). Does not display that the player has won.

  Thereby, the player can easily confirm the fact that the game ball has won the winning device (24). However, if a display indicating that a game ball has passed through the special area (25) or a display indicating that a game ball has already been won is already displayed on the winning device (24), these displays are prioritized, and therefore duplicated. The confusion by the display can be avoided.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, various space effects can be displayed in a space in which the game ball of the winning device can move, and the display content performed on the display device has an important meaning, and the inside of the winning device is It is possible to make various effects by using images instead of moving game balls to make it easier for the player to clearly confirm that the game balls have passed through the special area, and to maximize the fun of the wing game. it can.

  In other words, if an image is displayed in front of a space in which a game ball that has won a winning device can move, the space is configured in various spaces. It is not known whether or not the game ball passes through the special area, but if the special area detection means of the winning device detects the game ball, the fact that the game ball has passed through the special area indicates that the game ball in front of the winning device Is displayed at a position where there is no passage of the player, the player can easily confirm the result of the passing of the game ball.

Next, the structure of main actors in the game area 3 will be described in detail.
The first start winning opening 21 is a winning opening generally called a start chucker. It is set as a starting condition for starting a wing combination game of a predetermined process that a game ball wins the first start winning opening 21. When a winning of a game ball is detected by the first starting winning port switch 121 (see FIG. 20) inside the first starting winning port 21, each movable piece 24a of the big winning device 24 is operated in a state of being opened for a predetermined time. It is set to be.

  The second start winning port 22 is arranged immediately below the first start winning port 21 and, apart from the first start winning port 21, the game ball wins to satisfy the above-described starting condition. . When a winning of a game ball is detected by the second starting winning port switch 122 (see FIG. 20) inside the second starting winning port 22, each movable piece 24a of the big winning device 24 is operated in a state of being opened for a predetermined time. It is set to be.

  The second start winning opening 22 includes a pair of movable pieces 22a and 22a for changing the winning probability of the game ball. Each movable piece 22a is an ordinary electric accessory that is swingably arranged on both sides and is opened and closed by an ordinary electric accessory solenoid 142 (see FIG. 20). Each movable piece 22a is set to operate based on the display result of the normal symbol display displayed on the display device 1000 described later.

  The normal symbol display is executed, for example, in the display area 1010 of the display device 1000 at a position overlapping the lower front of the device main body 24b of the big prize opening device 24. Specifically, when the one-digit number is variably displayed so as to be sequentially switched and the display result stops at a specific number (for example, “7”) and corresponds to “winning”, each movable of the second start winning opening 22 is movable. The piece 22a operates once or twice for a predetermined time from the normal closed state to the open state. In addition to the display on the display device 1000, the normal symbol display may be configured using a 7-segment display or an LED and provided separately on the game area 3.

  Regarding the execution of the normal symbol display, when the passing of the game ball is detected by any one of the gate switches 131a and 131b in the pair of normal symbol operation gates 31a and 31b, a random value for displaying the variation of the normal symbol is acquired. The normal symbol display is started based on the random number value. If the passing of a game ball is detected by any of the gate switches 131a and 131b during normal symbol display, a random number value for normal symbol display is acquired, but is put on hold, and the normal symbol display currently in progress is terminated. After that, the reserved random numbers are digested sequentially. The number of reserved balls is, for example, an upper limit value of four, and is displayed by an LED or the like of a decoration unit 24c described later.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the special prize opening device 24 is a main accessory in the wing combination game, and is provided substantially at the center of the game area 3. The big prize opening device 24 includes a device main body 24b that receives a game ball and a pair of movable pieces 24a and 24a that are movable members that can receive the game ball in the device main body 24b. Each movable piece 24a opens and closes in an open state that is advantageous to a player who receives a game ball and a closed state that is disadvantageous to a player who does not receive a game ball.

  The inside of the case body, which is the device main body 24b of the big prize opening device 24, is a space in which a winning game ball can move and is visible to the player, and each movable piece 24a is closed at the top of the case body. A decorative portion 24c is provided so as not to accept a game ball when in a state. In addition, a special area 25 in which the gaming state changes to the special gaming state when the game ball passes and a general area 26 in which the gaming state does not change even if the game ball passes are provided in the lower part of the space.

  On the inner side of each movable piece 24a in the upper part of the apparatus main body 24b, the winning detection switch 124 for detecting a game ball winning in the space is provided. The special area detection switch 125 for detecting a game ball passing through the special area 25 is provided inside the special area 25, and a game ball passing through the general area 26 is provided inside the general area 26. The count switch 126 for detection is provided.

  Further, a moving body 27 that changes the movement of the game ball is provided in the space of the special prize opening device 24. The moving body 27 operates in a state where the game ball is likely to win the special area 25 or difficult to win based on the winning of the game ball to the big prize opening device 24. Specifically, for example, when the moving body 27 has a passage hole that guides the game ball to the special area 25 directly below, and operates so as to tilt in both the left and right directions and is in a non-tilting posture that does not tilt. When the game ball is easy to win the special area 25 and is in a tilted posture tilted to the left or right, it is preferable that the game ball is difficult to win the special area 25.

  In the blade role game, each movable piece 24a of the big prize opening device 24 is operated for a short time (for example, 0.3 seconds) based on the winning of the game ball to the first start winning opening 21 or the second starting winning opening 22. ) Only once. At this time, when the game ball that has entered the space of the special prize opening device 24 passes through the special area 25, the movable pieces 24a of the special prize opening device 24 are repeatedly opened and closed by a predetermined number of rounds. Is set to Even if the first start winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening 22 are set so that the conditions (time and number of times) of opening each movable piece 24a of the large winning opening apparatus 24 first are different. good.

  A series of operations of the movable pieces 24a of the special prize opening device 24 is a “special game state” in which the game state is changed so as to be advantageous to the player as a result of execution of the wing game. The operation of each movable piece 24a in each round of the special game state is continuously maintained in an open state until, for example, a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are won. Or may be set to open and close (for example, the operation of opening for 0.5 seconds and closing for 0.3 seconds is repeated 18 times).

Next, the display device 1000 provided on the glass plate 4 will be described.
In the present embodiment, an example in which the display device 1000 is provided on the glass plate 4 will be described. However, the display device 1000 is provided not on the glass plate 4 but on, for example, a transparent plate provided in front of the big prize opening device 24. It doesn't matter if you do. FIG. 2 shows a display area 1010 of the display device 1000 provided on the glass plate 4 of the gaming machine 1.

  In FIG. 2, for convenience, the display area 1010 of the display device 1000 is illustrated as a square frame with a hatched portion, but the display area 1010 is located in front of the “space” of the big prize opening device 24 illustrated as the hatched portion in FIG. 3. It is sufficient that the shape is at least covered, and the shape is not limited to that shown in FIG. 2, and any shape or size may be used.

  In FIG. 4, the display area 1010 of the display device 1000 is a rectangle that covers the entire front of the space of the big prize opening device 24, but the swinging tip side of each movable piece 24 a of the big prize opening device 24 is not covered. A configured example is shown. According to such a configuration, the swinging tip side of each movable piece 24a of the special prize opening device 24 is always visible regardless of the presence or absence of a display described later in the display area 1010, and is guided to each movable piece 24a. It does not interfere with the visibility of the process in which the game ball wins into the space.

  The display device 1000 is configured by organic EL (electroluminescence) in the present embodiment, and includes a display area 1010 that can be displayed in front of the space of the special prize opening device 24, and displays an image in the display area 1010. During the operation, the space can be seen through at a portion where the image is not displayed. Here, the organic EL is a display having features such as self-luminance, high brightness, transparency, and thinness.

  The display device 1000 is provided between the glass plate 4 and a protective glass (not shown) so that the game ball moving on the game board 2 is not directly hit by the player and is not directly touched by the player. It is good to arrange it toward the side. Here, the protective glass is to prevent impact and dirt from the front side of the gaming machine 1. The protective glass may be a permeable resin plate. The organic EL display that is the glass plate 4, the protective glass, and the display device 1000 is preferably configured as one unit.

  The organic EL display used as the display device 1000 can be broadly divided into two systems, which are an “active matrix type” that is controlled and displayed for each pixel (pixel), and a point that intersects by controlling the row and column directions. There is a “passive matrix type” that controls light emission. Both types use the same matrix control method, and are configured to illuminate pixels where horizontal and vertical control crosses. The passive matrix type emits light only when control crosses, and the active matrix type crosses control. This is the trigger for light emission control.

  The color display in the organic EL display is made of organic phosphor thin films that emit red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colors of RGB at the intersections of the anode and cathode electrodes arranged in a matrix. Are arranged in parallel, and by applying a voltage between these opposing electrodes, the three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) are emitted, and by the additive color mixture of the three primary colors Full color display is possible. In order to perform full-color display, the current value applied between the intersecting electrodes is changed by appropriately controlling the width of the applied pulse, whereby red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Gradation display is performed by changing the light emission intensity of each of the three primary colors.

Next, various control boards used for controlling the gaming machine 1 will be described.
On the back side of the game board 2, a control board for each function is provided. As shown in FIG. 20, in the control board, the main control board 100 that manages and controls the operation of the entire game, and the instruction information from the main control board 100 is received by parallel communication, and the payout operation of the winning ball or the rental ball A payout control board 200 that performs the above control and an effect control board 300 that performs display control and audio control are provided.

  The control board further includes a launch control board 400 that controls the launch of the game ball by the launch motor 401, a power supply board 500 that supplies predetermined power to each control board, and a prize ball payout signal from the main control board 100 External terminal board for frame 600 for external output, gaming machine lending device connection terminal board 700 for connection with CR card unit b, external information for board connected to external equipment (big hit, first start A panel external terminal board 800 is provided for outputting a winning opening winning prize, a second start winning opening winning prize, and a glass frame opening signal.

  Of each control board, the effect control board 300 mainly has a function of display control means for controlling display of an image on the display device 1000. This display control means controls the display of the effect image that can conceal the space at a position that covers the front of the space of the special prize opening device 24. Further, when the special area detection switch 125 detects a game ball, the display control means displays at least that the game ball has passed through the special area 25 if the effect image is being displayed. Is set to The specific display contents on the display device 1000 will be described later in detail.

Below, the effect | action of this game machine 1 is demonstrated.
First, an outline of the wing game that is executed using the first start winning port 21, the second start winning port 22, the big winning port device 24, the normal symbol operating gates 31a and 31b, and the like will be described. Processes that are controls and procedures in the game are executed by the main control board 100. The wing combination game is started based on the winning of a game ball in the first start winning port 21 or the second start winning port 22, and the game state can be changed to a special game state advantageous to the player as an execution result.

  When a game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gates 31a and 31b on either the left or right side during the game, the main control board 100 acquires a random number value for displaying the normal symbol, and based on the determination result of the random value, the normal symbol The display is performed at a proper position in the display area 1010 of the display device 1000 for a predetermined time. When the display result of the normal symbol display is correct, the control data of the normal electric accessory solenoid 142 is output from the main control board 100 for a certain period of time. Accordingly, each movable piece 22a of the second start winning opening 22 is operated once or twice for a predetermined time in an open state, so that the game ball is easily won.

  When a game ball wins the first start winning opening 21, it is detected by the first start winning opening switch 121 and a detection signal is outputted to the main control board 100. Further, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 22, it is detected by the second start winning opening switch 122 and a detection signal is outputted to the main control board 100. Based on these detection signals, the main control board 100 outputs control data for driving the special prize opening device solenoid 141. Based on this control data, each movable piece 24a of the special prize opening device 24 is opened once for a short time.

  When the game ball that has entered the space of the special prize opening device 24 passes through the special area 25 during the opening operation of the special prize opening apparatus 24, it is detected by the special area detection switch 125 in the special area 25, and the main control board. A detection signal is output at 100. Then, the main control board 100 outputs control data for driving the special prize opening device solenoid 141, and based on the control data, the special game state in which each movable piece 24a of the special prize opening device 24 is repeatedly opened and closed a predetermined number of times. Occurs. During the occurrence of the special game state, the winning game balls are counted by the count switch 126 and the like provided in the special prize opening device 24. If the game ball that has entered the device main body 24b does not pass through the special area 25, the special game state does not occur and it is processed as a simple winning.

  When the total number of data counted by the count switch 126 or the like reaches a predetermined number or when a predetermined time elapses, the output data from the main control board 100 is changed, and the driving of the special prize opening device solenoid 141 is stopped. One round ends. Thereafter, when the maximum number of rounds has not been reached, the driving of the special prize opening device solenoid 141 is repeated. It is a condition for continuing to the next round that at least one game ball passes through the special area 25 for each round. However, it is not necessary to set a situation (so-called puncture) in which the continuation of the round ends in the middle while omitting this condition.

  The greatest interest in such a wing game is that the game ball wins the big prize opening device 24, and the game ball that has been led by each movable piece 24a passes through the special area 25. The point is whether or not to do. The gaming machine 1 enables a player to display easily and powerfully in front of such a big prize opening device 24, and has an important meaning to display contents displayed on the display device 1000. The game is performed in various ways instead of the game balls moving in the space of 24, making it easy for the player to clearly confirm that the game balls have passed through the special area 25, and making the fun of the wings game You can make the most of it.

Next, display control of various images in the display device 1000 will be described.
Display control corresponding to the gaming state of the gaming machine 1 is executed in the display device 1000 by the display control means as the effect control board 300 shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 4, in the display area 1010 of the display device 1000 that covers at least the front of the space of the special prize opening device 24, as shown in FIG. Can be displayed.

  The effect image may be an image having any content as long as it can conceal the space of the grand prize opening device 24. For example, various graphics on an opaque background representing the outline of the space, A combination of images such as symbols and characters is preferable. The content of the effect image changes depending on the display timing. For example, a game ball image imitating a game ball by including an image imitating the space of the special prize opening device 24 and the special area 25, respectively. A display that moves in an image simulating the space can be considered. Hereinafter, specific examples of various effect images will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 15 shows a specific example of an effect image with relatively simple contents.
FIG. 15A shows a state in which nothing is displayed in front of the space of the special prize opening device 24. On the other hand, FIGS. 15B to 15F show the big prize opening device. An image simulating the space of the special prize opening device 24 and the special area 25 is included and displayed on an opaque background overlapping the 24 spaces.

FIG. 19A shows an example in which the number of occurrences of today's special gaming state is displayed as character information. FIG. 19 (b) shows an example in which the proportion of the game balls won in the special prize opening device 24 passing through the special area 25 is displayed as character V information as the V passing rate. FIG. 19C shows an example in which graphic information including illustrations and images of characters and the like is displayed separately from information that is useful for games. As described above, various effects can be adopted as effect images displayed on the display device 1000.

5 and 6 show the timing for displaying the effect image.
In FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 5A, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 21 or the second start winning opening 22 and a start winning detection signal is output, based on this, As shown in FIG. 5 (b), each of the movable pieces 24a of the big prize opening device 24 is first opened once, and the big prize opening device 24 is in control operation.

  In FIG. 5, regardless of the presence / absence of a detection signal related to the start prize and the presence / absence of the operation of the special prize opening device 24, as shown in FIG. The effect image is displayed so as to conceal the space. The production image here may be anything as long as it can conceal the space of the big prize opening device 24 in FIGS. 15 to 19 described above, but for example, a space different from the actual big prize opening device 24 It is preferable to display a simulated image 1100 or the like that constitutes.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, when the game ball is not won in the big prize opening device 24 during the display of the effect image, the effect image is continuously displayed without change. However, as shown in FIG. 5D, when a game ball is won in the big prize opening device 24, that is, when the win detection switch 124 detects the game ball and outputs a win detection signal, at that time. Under the control of the display control means, as shown in FIG. 5E, a winning notification image, which is a display indicating that a game ball has won, is displayed on the special winning opening device 24. Here, although the winning notification image has been described above, it is possible to obtain a winning notification image by causing a game ball image 1200 to appear in addition to the already displayed simulated image 1100 and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (e), when the game ball that has won the big prize opening device 24 does not pass through the special area 25 during the display of the winning notification image, the winning notification image is displayed as it is for a predetermined time. . In this case, the content of the winning notification image ends while corresponding to the “losing effect image” in which the game ball image 1200 does not enter the image imitating the special area 25.

  On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the special area 25 as shown in FIG. 5F during the display of the winning notification image, the special area detection switch 125 detects the game ball and outputs a V-pass signal. In this case, the special area passage notification image, which is a display indicating that the game ball has passed through the special area 25, is displayed as shown in FIG.

  Although the special area passing notification image has been described above, the special area passing notification image is displayed by stopping the already displayed winning notification image and displaying the game ball image 1200 so as to enter the image imitating the special area 25. It can be. Thus, even if the winning notification image is being displayed, the special region passing notification image is displayed in preference to this, so that the player passes the game ball in the space of the big winning opening device 24. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm the result, and to make the most of the fun of the wing game.

  In FIG. 5 (f), as the switching from the display of the winning notification image to the start of display of the special region passing notification image, for example, a joint is used so as to notify the player that the display has been switched to a completely different content. The special area passing notification image may be displayed as a series of displays with respect to the winning notification image display. With a series of displays, it is possible to produce an interesting display that does not give the player a sense of incongruity.

  As described above, when the effect image is displayed so as to hide the space in front of the space in which the game ball that has won the grand prize opening device 24 is movable, it is the player's greatest concern. Whether the game ball in the space passes through the special area 25 or the general area 26 is hidden and cannot be known. Therefore, when the special area detection switch 125 detects the game ball, the display control means controls to display that the game ball has passed through at least the special area 25 if the effect image is being displayed. .

  Thereby, it is possible to easily confirm the result of the game ball passing through the special area 25 by the image at a position that is easy for the player to see. In addition, when no display is made on the display device 1000, it is possible to check the configuration inside the space of the special winning opening device 24 through the transparent display area 1010, and it is possible to maintain fairness and play games. No distrust.

  Further, when the winning detection switch 124 detects a game ball and outputs a winning signal, if the special area passing notification image is already being displayed and the winning notification image is already being displayed, a new winning notification image is displayed. Is not displayed. As a result, if the special area passing notification image is already being displayed or if the winning notification image is already being displayed, these displays are given priority, and confusion due to overlapping display can be avoided.

  The display of the winning notification image is indispensable when the effect image is already displayed, but it is not always necessary to display when the effect image is not displayed. It is good to set so that it may choose suitably. Similarly, the display of the special region passage notification image is also essential when the effect image is already displayed, but is not necessarily displayed when the effect image is not displayed. It may be set so as to be appropriately selected.

  FIG. 6 shows a display example of another special area passage notification image. Note that FIGS. 6A to 6F are the same as FIGS. 5A to 5F described above, and redundant descriptions are omitted. As shown in FIG. 6F, when the game ball passes through the special area 25, that is, when the special area detection switch 125 detects the game ball and outputs a V-pass signal, the display control is performed at that time. Under the control of the means, as shown in FIG. 6G, after all the winning notification images are completed, the special region passing notification image is displayed.

  Thus, since the display indicating that the game ball has passed through the special area 25 is performed after the end without affecting the display indicating that the game ball has been won in the grand prize opening device 24, the player can The result of the passing of the game ball in the space of the big prize opening device 24 can be easily confirmed continuously, and the fun of the wing game can be utilized to the maximum. In particular, since the special area passing notification image is displayed after the winning notification image is finished as the lose effect image, the special area passing notification image becomes a revival display that can be pleased after the player is discouraged once. The expectation of the person can be maintained for a long time.
