There is.

JP 2004-344346 A

  In such a gaming machine, even if the light emission mode of the light emitting unit is made to correspond to the effect, it may be difficult to know whether the light emission mode corresponds to the effect or not.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in a gaming machine equipped with a decorative member having a light emitting part, if the light emitting aspect of at least some of the light emitting parts corresponds to the effect, the light emitting aspect corresponds to the effect. It is to make it easy to understand that it is.

A gaming machine according to the present invention made to solve the above-described problems is a decorative member integrally provided with a first light-emitting portion and a second light-emitting portion that can be independently controlled, and whether or not to win The storage means capable of storing a predetermined number of the determination information regarding the presence / absence, and the presence / absence of one or a plurality of the determination information for which the determination of the determination result is not started among the determination information stored in the storage means. and a display device for displaying one or more hold display, either hold display mode of one of the one or more hold display pending change effect occurs as a different special embodiments the normal manner in at least some cases, and the also special aspect become a hold display is either a one or a plurality of hold display, light emission mode in which the first light emitting portion of the decorative member corresponding to the special aspect That one, the second light emitting unit is characterized by comprising a different emission mode to the light emitting mode of the first light emitting portion.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the first light emitting unit is in a light emitting mode corresponding to the effect when a predetermined effect is being executed, but the second light emitting unit is not in a light emitting mode corresponding to the effect. In other words, in order to achieve a light emission mode in which only the first light emitting part of the two light emitting parts provided integrally corresponds to the effect, the light emission of the first light emitting unit corresponds to the effect by the light emission of the second light emitting unit It is emphasized that That is, it is possible to make it easy to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit corresponds to the effect.

Moreover , it is possible to make it easy to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emission unit corresponds to the fact that the hold display has become a special mode by the light emission of the second light emission unit.

In a state where the on- hold change effect is not executed, the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit may be the same.

  As described above, if the light emitting modes of the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit may be the same, when the light emitting modes of the two light emitting units are different, the event “the light emitting mode is different” is emphasized. Is done. That is, it is possible to make it easier to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit corresponds to a predetermined effect.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to easily understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting portion of the decorative member corresponds to a predetermined effect.

(C) is the figure which showed typically what changed the 1st light emission part into the light emission mode corresponding to the hold display of the 3rd special mode. It is the figure which showed typically the state which made the light emission mode of the 1st light emission part, and the light emission mode of the 2nd light emission part the same when the predetermined | prescribed effect is not performed. It is the figure which showed typically the example which controls a decoration member corresponding to the production (step-up production etc.) where a background changes. It is the figure which showed typically the example which makes a 1st light emission part the light emission aspect as if a belt | band | zone followed the up-down direction when the stripe pattern was displayed in a certain production. It is the figure which showed typically the state (a) made into the light emission mode corresponding to the production | generation with the 1st light emission part, and the state (b) made into the light emission mode corresponding to the production with the 2nd light emission part.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 that forms a path for guiding a game ball launched by operating the launching device 908 (launching handle) to the gaming area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. 1, FIG. 5 to FIG. 9 roughly describe the display region 911, but the shape and the like can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the opening 901, the shape and size of the display device 91 itself, and the like). The shape and the like of the display area 911 can be changed by changing).

  In addition, the game area 902 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the flow-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device 908. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the start winning opening 904 or the big winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  Note that the description of the components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1, the lower plate and the upper plate for storing the game balls, is omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable. The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a so-called pachinko gaming machine, but the technical idea described below can also be applied to other gaming machines such as a slot machine.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a decorative member 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative member 10 in the present embodiment is provided below the display device 91. The decorative member 10 is so-called electric decoration, and includes at least a first light emitting unit 11 and a second light emitting unit 12. The first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 are integrated by fixing both to the base member 10b (see FIG. 2) or by fixing the other light emitting unit to one light emitting unit. The relative positions of each other do not change. The first light emitting unit 11 is located above the second light emitting unit 12. That is, the first light emitting unit 11 is located closer to the display device 91 than the second light emitting unit 12. As will be described later, since the hold display 20 is displayed below the display device 91, the first light emitting unit 11 is closer to the position where the hold display 20 is displayed than the second light emitting unit 12. It is.

  As for the 1st light emission part 11 and the 2nd light emission part 12, the front surface (surface by the side of a player) is a light emission surface, and light is radiate | emitted toward the front from the said light emission surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitting surface of the first light emitting unit 11 (hereinafter also referred to as the first light emitting surface 111) is the light emitting surface of the second light emitting unit 12 (hereinafter referred to as the second light emitting surface 121). It is located in front of the player (the player side). That is, the first light emitting unit 11 is provided so as to protrude forward than the second light emitting unit 12, and the leading end surface of the protruding part becomes the first light emitting surface 111, There is a step at the boundary of the second light emitting surface 121.

  However, when the first light emitting surface 111 and the second light emitting surface 121 are viewed from the front (player side), at least a part thereof is continuous. Specifically, there is no portion between the first light emitting surface 111 and the second light emitting surface 121 except for decoration provided so as to border the periphery of each light emitting surface. That is, when the player views the gaming machine 1 from the front, the first light emitting surface 111 (first light emitting unit 11) and the second light emitting surface 121 (second light emitting unit 12) are not separated but are integrated. It looks like (see Figure 1 etc.).

  The first light emitting unit 11 (first light emitting surface 111) and the second light emitting unit 12 (second light emitting surface 121) may have any form. In the present embodiment, the first light emitting unit 11 is formed to represent a predetermined character (four characters in the present embodiment). The 2nd light emission part 12 is the predetermined | prescribed decoration which does not express a meaning in particular.

  The 1st light emission part 11 and the 2nd light emission part 12 can light-emit light of various colors. Any light emission color that can be emitted by each light emitting unit can be set as appropriate as long as it can exhibit the action described below. Moreover, since the kind of light source etc. are not ask | required, description is abbreviate | omitted. The light emitting mode of the first light emitting unit 11 and the light emitting mode of the second light emitting unit 12 can be controlled independently (the other light emitting mode can be controlled without being affected by one light emitting mode).

  The decorative member 10 having the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 can operate. In this embodiment, it is possible to slide up and down by a certain amount. Since the drive mechanism may be anything, the description is omitted. As described above, since the decorative member 10 in the present embodiment is integrated, even if the decorative member 10 operates, the relative positions of the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 do not change. . However, within the range satisfying the positional relationship between the two light emitting portions (light emitting surfaces) (the positional relationship in the front-rear direction, the positional relationship that the light emitting surfaces are continuous, and the like) It is good also as a structure which a position can change.

  The decorative member 10 configured as described above exhibits an effect of enhancing the effect of a predetermined effect. The operation will be described together with a pending change effect that is one of the predetermined effects.

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, a numerical value (corresponding to success / failure determination information in the present invention) is acquired from a random number source when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, and the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value. In some cases it will be a big hit, and in other cases it will be out of place. In this embodiment, notification of the determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values are acquired (so-called fluctuation is started), but when a certain numerical value is acquired, it is acquired before that. When the determination result based on the numerical value is informed, the determination result based on the certain numerical value is stored in a storage unit provided on a control board (not shown) until the determination result is started. The maximum stored number (maximum number of holds) of a numerical value (hereinafter also simply referred to as “hold”) for which the notification of the determination of success / failure has not yet been started can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that can be stored by the storage means in the present embodiment is four per kind of start winning award. In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a numerical value that is a big hit at the time when the notification of the determination of correctness is started. The determination result itself may be stored (in this case, the determination result itself corresponds to the determination information). Moreover, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect for informing the determination result.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the hold display 20 that is a mark corresponding to each of the acquired numerical values (whether or not determination information) that has not started notification of the determination result or not stored in the storage unit is displayed. It is displayed in the display area 911 of the device 91. Specifically, the hold display 20 is displayed on the display device 91 so as to be arranged in the order in which numerical values for executing the determination of correctness are acquired. The hold display 20 is controlled by a hold display control means provided on a control board (not shown). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the display device 911 is lined up on the lower right side of the display area 911 along the lower edge of the display area 911 (from the left in the order of early notification of the determination result) Displayed).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the normal display 20n and the special mode are set as the mode of the hold display 20. The special mode has a higher probability (so-called jackpot reliability) that the success / failure determination result corresponding to the hold is a big hit than when the normal mode 20n is displayed. Although the specific aspect of the normal aspect 20n and the special aspect may be any, the special aspect in the present embodiment is such that the normal aspect 20n itself and its surroundings are colored. Specifically, the first special mode 21s is the normal mode 20n changed to blue, the second special mode 22s is the normal mode 20n changed to green, and the third special mode 23s is the normal mode 20n. Has changed to red. In each figure, the hold display 20 and the “color (light emission color)” of the light emitting unit are represented by characters. A difference in so-called jackpot reliability may be set even between special modes. In the present embodiment, the so-called jackpot reliability is the lowest in the first special mode 21s and the third special mode 23s is the highest among the special modes (the so-called jackpot reliability in the second special mode 22s is the first special mode. Higher than 21s and lower than the third special mode 23s). Therefore, the player plays a game while wishing that the special mode is displayed, and that if the special mode is displayed, the special mode with higher jackpot reliability is displayed.

  Thus, since the hold display 20 is set to indicate so-called jackpot reliability, when a special mode is displayed (the effect in which the normal mode 20n is a special mode is referred to as a hold change effect). In order to make the game feel interesting, it is important to let the player recognize that the special mode is displayed, or to recognize that it is an opportunity. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the decorative member 10 is used in order to enhance the effect of the reserved change effect. Note that the hold change effect is a special mode from the beginning when the hold display 20 is displayed, a normal mode displayed as the normal mode 20n, or a special mode from a special mode. Various things can be considered.

  When the hold change effect occurs, the decoration member 10 is controlled (holding decoration member control) as shown in FIG. In the following description, the decoration control in which the light emission control unit that controls the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 of the decoration member 10 and the operation control unit that controls the operation of the decoration member 10 are combined. Although described as means, the light emission control means and the operation control means may be separate (the control flow by each control means may exist separately). In addition, the decoration member 10 does not have to be controlled as follows in all cases where the hold change effect occurs. That is, it is assumed that the decoration member 10 is controlled as follows in at least a part of the case where the hold change effect is generated. For example, when a hold change effect that satisfies a predetermined condition occurs, the decoration member 10 may be set to be controlled as follows.

  When a certain hold display 20 is in one of the special modes (S1 “Yes”), the decoration control means for controlling the decorative member 10 has a plurality of special modes (in this embodiment, the first special mode 21s). To the third special mode 23s) is determined (S2). Specifically, the contents of the command received from the control means for controlling the hold display 20 are analyzed to determine the type of special mode.

  And the 1st light emission part 11 is light-emitted in the color match | combined with the set special aspect (S3) (refer FIG. 5). That is, when the set special mode is the first special mode 21s, the first light emitting unit 11 emits blue light (see FIG. 5A), and when the set special mode is the second special mode 22s, the first light emitting unit 11 is emitted. Is emitted in green (see FIG. 5B), and in the case of the third special mode 23s, the first light emitting unit 11 emits red light (see FIG. 5C). Thus, the 1st light emission part 11 becomes a light emission mode linked with the special mode. It should be noted that the light emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 and the color of each special mode need only be known to be the same color as viewed by the player, and there may be some shading.

  On the other hand, when the first light emitting unit 11 is caused to emit light in a color that matches the special mode, the second light emitting unit 12 emits light in a color different from that of the first light emitting unit 11 (S4) (see FIG. 5). . Any light emission color of the second light emitting unit 12 may be used as long as it is different from the light emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 when the first light emitting unit 11 emits light. For example, when the emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 is blue, the emission color of the second light emitting unit 12 is green, and when the emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 is green, the emission color of the second light emitting unit 12 is red. The light emission of the second light emitting unit 12 is matched to the light emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 such that the light emission color of the second light emitting unit 12 is blue when the light emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 is red. The color may be changed. Moreover, it is good also as a setting from which the luminescent color of the 2nd light emission part 12 changes each time. In the present embodiment, even when the first light emitting unit 11 emits light in any color, the light emission color of the second light emitting unit 12 is set to yellow. That is, the color that is not set as the emission color of the first light emitting unit 11 is set as the emission color of the second light emitting unit 12. You may vary the timing which the 1st light emission part 11 and the 2nd light emission part 12 light-emit. In addition, even for the same color, the difference in light intensity is clear (eg, the first light-emitting part is bright and the second light-emitting part emits light. On the contrary, the second light-emitting part is bright and the first light-emitting part is If it emits light darkly), the difference in the light emission mode may be set by the difference in density.

  When the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 are caused to emit light as described above, the decorative member 10 slidably provided in the vertical direction is vibrated up and down (S5) (see FIG. 5). Any vibration width or period may be used. This prompts attention to the decorative member 10.

  In the present embodiment, once the hold display 20 becomes a special mode, the special mode continues to be displayed until the notification of whether or not the hold display 20 is appropriate (so-called change). Therefore, when the notification of whether or not the hold display 20 is in the special mode is started (S6 “Yes”), the second light emission of the first light emitting unit 11 according to the special mode and the second color that emits light in a different color. The light emission of the light emitting unit 12 is stopped, and the vibration of the decorative member 10 is stopped (S7) (then, the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 immediately emit light in order to develop another effect). And does not deny that it works). The first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 do not necessarily have to continue to emit light as described above until the display of the special mode disappears. The light emission time (period) can be set as appropriate. For example, the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 may be set to emit light as described above for a predetermined time after the special mode is displayed. The same applies to the time (period) during which the decorative member 10 is vibrated.

  When a certain special mode changes to another special mode (so-called step-up, etc.), the determination at S1 is made again, and the first light-emitting unit 11 and the second light-emitting unit adapted to the other special mode. The unit 12 is controlled. Moreover, about the control in case two or more hold display 20 becomes a special mode among the some hold displays 20, it is set as the light emission mode matched with any one special mode (for example, notification of a decision | availability determination first) It is possible to appropriately set the light emission mode in accordance with the special mode in which is started.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first light emitting unit 11 has a light emitting mode corresponding to the hold display 20 that has become a special mode, but the second light emitting unit 12 is different from the first light emitting unit 11. It emits light in color (it does not become a light emission mode corresponding to the effect). In other words, only the first light emitting unit 11 of the two light emitting units provided integrally is set to a light emitting mode corresponding to the hold display 20 having a special mode, so that light is emitted in a color different from that of the first light emitting unit 11. It is emphasized that the light emission of the second light emitting unit 12 corresponds to the hold display 20 in which the light emission of the first light emitting unit 11 is in a special mode. That is, it is possible to make it easy to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit 11 corresponds to the effect. In addition, when the hold display 20 is in the normal mode, the first light emitting unit 11 may be in a light emission mode that matches the normal mode. For example, when the normal mode hold display 20 is white or colorless, the first light emitting unit 11 may emit white light.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the light emitting mode of the second light emitting unit 12 is the same even when the first light emitting unit 11 is in any light emitting mode during a predetermined performance. Specifically, in the on-hold change effect, the first light emitting unit 11 can emit light in various colors (blue, green, red) according to the special mode, while the second light emitting unit 12 has the same color (yellow). (See FIG. 5). Thereby, since the direction of the 1st light emission part 11 which can change is emphasized, it can make it easier to understand that the light emission mode of the 1st light emission part 11 respond | corresponds to production.

  In the present embodiment, the first light emitting unit 11 is provided closer to the position where the hold display 20 is displayed than the second light emitting unit 12. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit 11 corresponds to the hold display 20 in which the special mode is set.

  In addition, the decorative member 10 in the present embodiment is configured such that at least a part of the light emitting surface of the first light emitting unit 11 and at least a part of the light emitting surface of the second light emitting unit 12 are continuous when viewed from the front. . If the first light-emitting unit 11 and the second light-emitting unit 12 are separated from each other, there is a possibility that each of the first light-emitting units 11 is merely emitting light independently. If the light emission aspect of the 1st light emission part 11 and the 2nd light emission part 12 differs if the part and the light emission surface of the 2nd light emission part 12 are comprised so that it may continue, the 1st light emission part 11 is emphasized. Therefore, it is possible to easily understand that the light emission mode of the second light emitting unit 12 is different from that of the first light emitting unit 11.

  Further, in the decorative member 10 in the present embodiment, the light emitting surface (first light emitting surface 111) of the first light emitting unit 11 is positioned forward of the light emitting surface of the second light emitting unit 12 (second light emitting surface 121). Thus, the first light emitting unit 11 corresponding to the hold display 20 that has become a special mode is emphasized as compared to the second light emitting unit 12. That is, it is possible to make it easier to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit 11 corresponds to the hold display 20 in which the special mode is set.

  Moreover, since the decoration member 10 in this embodiment operates when the first light emitting unit 11 is in a light emission mode corresponding to the hold display 20 in which the special mode is set, the player's attention is directed to the decoration member 10. It becomes possible. It should be noted that the decorative member 10 may not be set to always operate when the first light emitting unit 11 is in the light emission mode corresponding to the hold that has become the special mode. That is, the decoration member 10 may be set to operate in at least a part when the first light emitting unit 11 is in the light emission mode corresponding to the hold display 20 in the special mode. For example, the probability (so-called jackpot reliability) that the winning / failure determination result corresponding to the hold display 20 is a big hit may be set differently when the decorative member 10 operates and when the decorative member 10 does not operate. Unlike such a setting, the decorative member 10 does not operate (a configuration in which the decorative member 10 is inoperable, the operation is possible but the first light emitting unit 11 is in a special mode on the hold display 20). It is also possible to include both configurations that do not operate when the corresponding light emission mode is set.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, in the decorative member 10 in the present embodiment, the first light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 emit the same light when a predetermined effect such as the above-described holding change effect is not executed. It is set so that there is a time when it becomes a mode (light is emitted in the same color). If it is set in this way, the player who visually recognizes that the light emission mode of both light emitting units may be the same when the predetermined effect is not executed is different in the light emission mode of both light emitting units. Then, the probability that the event “difference in the light emission mode” is meaningful will be high (it is emphasized that the light emission mode is different because it may be the same). ). Therefore, it is possible to make it easier to understand that the light emission mode of the first light emitting unit 11 corresponds to a predetermined effect.

  As described above, the light emitting mode of the second light emitting unit 12 is the same even when the first light emitting unit 11 is in any light emitting mode during a predetermined performance (yellow in this embodiment). When the predetermined effect is not executed, the light emission mode when the light emission modes of the two light emitting units are the same may be the same as the light emission mode of the second light emitting unit 12 at the time of the predetermined performance. If it does so, when the light emission mode of the 1st light emission part 11 and the 2nd light emission part 12 differs, the light emission mode of the 2nd light emission part 12 is a time when the predetermined | prescribed effect is not performed, and light emission of both light emission parts When the player notices that the mode is the same as the mode of light emission when the mode is the same, it becomes easier to discover that the mode of light emission of the first light emitting unit 11 corresponds to the effect.

  It should be noted that the timing (trigger) for making the light emission modes of both the light emitting portions the same can be set as appropriate, but in order to emphasize the phenomenon that “light emission modes are different” When executing the light emission of both the light emitting units except when the light emitting modes of the light emitting unit 11 and the second light emitting unit 12 are different, the light emitting modes of both the light emitting units are set to be the same. Good.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  Although the decorative member 10 in the said embodiment demonstrated providing in the lower side of the display apparatus 91, it may be provided in the position of other than that. For example, the same technical idea can be applied to electrical decoration provided on the outer edge side of the gaming machine.

  In the above embodiment, the hold change effect is given as an example of the predetermined effect, but various effects other than the hold change effect can be considered as the predetermined effect. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the color of the video (character, background, etc.) displayed on the display device 91 may be stepped up in the order of blue, yellow, green, red,. The same technical idea can be applied to so-called step-up effects. That is, as long as the 1st light emission part 11 can express or suggest the predetermined fact currently performed by a certain effect, what kind of predetermined effect may be sufficient.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the first light emitting unit 11 emits light with a light emission color corresponding to the color of the hold display 20 that has become a special mode, but the correspondence is not limited to color. As long as the player can recognize that the light emission of the first light emitting unit 11 is associated with a certain event being executed with a predetermined effect, any player may be used. As an example of the correspondence, as shown in FIG. 8, when a stripe pattern is displayed in a certain effect, the first light emitting unit 11 is made to emit light as if the band was vertically aligned (first The two light-emitting portions 12 may have different light emission modes), and the two may be associated with each other.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that the first light emitting unit 11 has a light emitting mode corresponding to the event with the effect, and the second light emitting unit 12 has a light emitting mode different from the first light emitting unit 11. Conversely, the second light emitting unit 12 has a light emitting mode corresponding to the event with the effect, and the first light emitting unit 11 has a light emitting mode different from that of the second light emitting unit 12 (see FIG. 9B). There may be things to do. The case where the first light emitting unit 11 is in a light emitting mode corresponding to the event with the effect (the state shown in FIG. 9A) and the second light emitting unit 12 provide the effect according to a predetermined condition (result of determination). A case in which a light emission mode corresponding to a certain event (state in FIG. 9B) is switched may be controlled.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that each hold display 20 is displayed along the lower edge of the display area 911 (in the lower right), but the display location is merely an example.
