JP 2003-190401 A

  When an effect using the moving member is executed, the moving member is always in the same exposure state, so the effect of the effect is lacking.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of executing a highly interesting performance using a moving member.

A gaming machine according to the invention of claim 1, which has been made to solve the above-described problems, is provided with a determination unit, a moving member provided to be movable within a predetermined moving range, and provided in front of the moving member. When the movable member is in the first posture, the movable member overlaps to hide the movable member, and when the movable member is in the second posture including the basic posture and another posture different from the basic posture, the movable member A covering member that makes at least a part of the covering member visible, and a moving member that can control the movement of the moving member and the attitude of the moving member so as to be in any one of the first attitude, the basic attitude, and the different attitude and a control unit, wherein the one or more gaming member are different members and the moving member and the covering member, at least a part of the notification effect for notifying the advisability judgment result by the advisability judgment section To and a interlocking means capable of implementing the effect that in conjunction with the gaming member and the moving member, the moving member control means, there when positioned at any location within said predetermined movement range However, the posture of the moving member can be changed from the first posture to the second posture, and when the position of the moving member is changed, the moving member moves in the first posture. The interlocking means can execute an effect that interlocks with the game member when the moving member is brought into the basic posture by the moving member control means, and the moving member is controlled by the moving member control means. An effect linked to the gaming member can be executed when the different posture is set.

Directing an invention according to claim 2, in the gaming machine of claim 1, prior Symbol interlocking means, in conjunction with the gaming member becomes the second position when located at a position where there is the moving member And when the moving member is located at a position different from the certain position, an effect that is in the second posture and interlocked with the gaming member can be executed.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect , the gaming member is a display device on which a plurality of information images related to a game are displayed, Among the plurality of information images displayed on the display device, the moving member located at a predetermined position closest to a certain information image is in the basic posture, and an effect linked to the certain information image can be executed. The moving member located at a predetermined position is changed from the basic posture to the different posture, and an effect linked to another information image different from the certain information image can be executed.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the moving member can change its posture from the first posture to the second posture regardless of the position within the predetermined moving range. That is, it is possible to execute a highly interesting performance in which the moving member may be exposed at any position.

Further, if the moving member is configured to move in the first posture, it becomes difficult for the player to recognize the movement of the moving member. That is, it is possible to execute an effect with impact that does not know from which position the moving member is exposed .
In addition, if the basic posture and another posture different from the basic posture are set as the second posture of the moving member, not only the effect linked to the game member when the moving member is in the basic posture, but also the moving member is in another posture. Sometimes it is possible to execute an effect linked with a game member, and it is possible to increase the types of effects that can be provided.

As in the second aspect of the invention, not only when the moving member is located at a certain position, but also when it is located at a position different from the certain position, an effect that is linked to the gaming member is executed in the second posture. If possible, it is possible to provide a plurality of types of effects in which the moving member and the gaming member are interlocked (the effect in which the moving member and the gaming member are interlocked is not one type).

As in the third aspect of the present invention, the moving member located at a predetermined position closest to an information image is in a basic posture, and an effect linked to the information image can be executed and located at the predetermined position. If an effect that works with another information image that is different from the information image in which the moving member is changed from the basic posture to another information image can be executed, the effect that works with the information image that has the moving member in the basic posture When it is executed, it is possible to provide a stunning effect that an effect that changes to a different posture and is linked to another information image is executed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the plane direction is a direction along (parallel to) the plane direction of the game board 90, and the front-rear direction is a direction orthogonal to the plane direction of the game board 90 (the player side is front and the opposite side is the front side). The left and right direction (width direction) means the left and right direction in FIG. 1, and the up and down direction means the up and down direction in FIG.

  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 strip-shaped guide rail 903 made of a thin metal plate for guiding a game ball fired by the operation of the launcher to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. Is provided.

  In the game area 902, a display device 50, a first start winning opening 904, a second starting winning opening 905, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. For example, a liquid crystal display device is used as the display device 50, and special symbols, normal symbols, and the like are displayed on the display screen (display unit) of the display device 50. The display screen of the display device 50 is visible through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90.

  On the lower edge side of the opening 901 formed in the game board 90, an effect device 1u provided with the moving member 10 that produces an effect is provided. Details of the rendering device 1u will be described later.

  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. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning port such as the start winning ports 904 and 905 or the big winning port 906, a predetermined number of award balls are paid out by the payout device. In addition, the jackpot lottery method and effects other than those described below can be applied to those similar to known game machines, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Hereinafter, the rendering device 1u will be described. 1 to 4 includes a moving member 10 and a rail member 20 that guides the moving member 10. In the present embodiment, the covering member 40 is provided in front of the moving member 10 (the effect device 1u).

  The moving member 10 has a main body part 11 and a dependent part 12. The main body 11 is supported by a rail member 20 fixed to a center base (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 90 so as to be movable within a predetermined movement range. As will be described in detail later, the main body 11 is supported so that its posture can be changed with respect to the base member 30 guided by the rail member 20, and the main body 11 is supported by the rail member 20. It is possible to move using the entire guide portion 21 constructed.

  In the present embodiment, the rail member 20 is a plate-like member along a long and narrow plane direction, and is installed such that the longitudinal direction thereof coincides with the width direction. The rail member 20 has a guide portion 21 extending in the width direction. The guide portion 21 may have any configuration as long as it can guide the main body portion 11 via the base member 30. For example, it may be a long hole formed in the rail member 20 extending in the width direction, or an elongated protrusion extending in the width direction.

  A base member 30 is attached to the rail member 20 so as to be slidable in the width direction by the guide portion 21. The base member 30 slides in the width direction by the power of a drive source (not shown). The main body 11 of the moving member 10 is attached to the base member 30 so that its posture can be changed. In the present embodiment, the rear surface side of the base member 30 is engaged with the guide portion 21, and the main body portion 11 is attached to the front surface side of the base member 30. The main body 11 in the present embodiment has an opposite side (hereinafter also referred to as a proximal end (side)) to a side (hereinafter also referred to as a distal end (side)) to which a dependent portion 12 whose details will be described later is attached. The base member 30 is rotatably supported. The moving member 10 has a first posture (see FIG. 2A) in which the direction from the proximal end of the main body portion 11 toward the distal end is along the longitudinal direction of the rail member 20 (guide portion 21), or the proximal end. It is possible to change to a second posture (see FIG. 2B) that is a state in which the direction from the tip to the tip intersects with the longitudinal direction of the rail member 20 (hereinafter also referred to as “standing state”). It is supported by the base member 30 so that it may become.

  In the present embodiment, as the second posture of the moving member 10, the basic posture in which the main body portion 11 stands so as to be substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rail member 20, and the main body portion 11 is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rail member 20. A different posture standing up so as to be inclined with respect to the direction (basic posture) is set. In the present embodiment, as the different postures, another left posture (see FIG. 3A) that stands up to the left from the basic posture and another right posture that stands up to lean to the right (FIG. 3B). )) Is set. The inclination angle of the different posture with respect to the basic posture may be constant or indefinite.

  When the moving member 10 is in the first posture, the covering member 40 overlaps the entire moving member 10 in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 4A). When the moving member 10 is in the second posture, the covering member 40 overlaps a part of the moving member 10 in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 4B). That is, when the moving member 10 is in the first posture, the moving member 10 is covered with the covering member 40, so that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the moving member 10. In the present embodiment, the moving member 10 is configured so as not to be visually recognized unless it is looked into from the upper side of the covering member 40. On the other hand, when the moving member 10 is in the second posture (basic posture and another posture), at least a part of the moving member 10 is exposed, so that the player can visually recognize the exposed portion. The covering member 40 may be any member that covers the moving member 10 as described above. The decoration member which exhibits a decoration function may be sufficient, and the guidance member which guide | induces a game ball may be sufficient.

  The moving member 10 in the present embodiment can slide in the longitudinal direction of the rail member 20, that is, the width direction via the base member 30 regardless of the posture. That is, even in the first posture, it is possible to slide in the width direction. Since the moving member 10 in the first posture is in a state that it is difficult for the player to visually recognize it by being covered with the covering member 40, when the moving member 10 moves in the first posture, the player In many cases, 10 does not notice that it has slid in the width direction.

  The base member 30 is provided with a power transmission mechanism including a main body drive motor as a drive source and one or a plurality of gears for transmitting the power to the main body 11 (the figure is easy to understand). Therefore, the power transmission mechanism is not shown). By driving the main body drive motor, the main body portion 11 changes its posture. Any power transmission mechanism may be used as long as the posture of the main body 11 can be changed.

  A dependent portion 12 that constitutes the moving member 10 together with the main body portion 11 is attached to the main body portion 11. The dependent portion 12 is supported on the distal end side of the main body portion 11 (the side opposite to the base end side where the main body portion 11 is supported by the base member 30) so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body portion 11. Specifically, one end side (left end side) of the dependent portion 12 is rotatably supported by the main body portion 11. In the present embodiment, the relative position of the main body part 11 and the dependent part 12 changes as the posture of the main body part 11 changes. Specifically, as the main body 11 changes its posture from the first posture to the second posture, the subordinate portion 12 rotates (displaces) with respect to the main body 11. Specifically, as the main body 11 changes its posture from the first posture to the second posture, the tip is close to the main body 11 (hereinafter, the relative position of the dependent portion 12 with respect to the main body 11 in this state). The tip is displaced in a direction away from the main body 11. When the main body 11 is in the second posture and stands up, the distal end (right end) of the subordinate portion 12 is farthest from the main body 11 (hereinafter, the relative position of the subordinate portion 12 with respect to the main body 11 in this state) Is sometimes referred to as a terminal position). If the main body part 11 is in the second posture, the subordinate part 12 is displaced to the left with respect to the main body part 11 when viewed from the entirety of the subordinate part 12.

  Any structure in which the subordinate portion 12 is displaced with respect to the main body portion 11 in accordance with a change in the posture of the main body portion 11 (a driving mechanism of the subordinate portion 12) may be used. For example, when the posture of the main body portion 11 is changed by the power of the main body drive motor, a gear mechanism (for example, a differential gear mechanism) that displaces the dependent portion 12 with respect to the main body portion 11 in accordance with the change in the posture of the main body portion 11. Etc. can be applied. Moreover, it is good also as a structure (structure which controls two drive sources) by which the dependent part 12 is displaced with respect to the main body part 11 with the drive source different from the main body part 11. FIG.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the effect device 1u and the interlocking effect using the effect device 1u and the display device 50 (corresponding to the game member in the present invention) (the means for executing the interlocking effect corresponds to the interlocking means in the present invention). In the present embodiment, a description will be given of one or more substrates that control the rendering device 1u and the display device 50).

  The moving member 10 is a structure imitating a “lighter”. Specifically, the main body 11 is the main body of the lighter, and the slave 12 is the lid of the lighter. When the moving member 10 is in the second posture, a part of the upper side of the main body part 11 and the dependent part 12 supported on the upper side of the main body part 11 are exposed without being covered with the covering member 40. Further, the exposed portion overlaps the display area of the display device 50. A linked effect is executed using this.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a flame image is displayed between the moving members 10 in the second posture and the subordinate portion 12 displaced in a direction away from the main body 11 (see FIG. 5A). Thus, the effect is as if the lighter had a flame. Then, it is possible to execute an interlocking effect in such a manner that an information image for informing information related to the game displayed on the display device 50 is burned and changed by the flame (see FIG. 5B). is there.

  The moving member 10 is movable in the width direction within a predetermined range guided by the rail member 20. If the position is within the predetermined range, the posture can be changed at any position. For example, it is possible not only to execute the interlocking effect in a state where the moving member 10 is positioned on the left side of the display device 50 but also to execute the interlocking effect in a state where it is positioned on the right side of the display device 50 which is a different position. It is. As described above, if the moving member is exposed at any position, it is possible to execute an effect with a great surprise when it is exposed.

  As described above, the moving member 10 can execute the interlocking effect in the second posture at any location within the predetermined movable range. In the present embodiment, when the moving member 10 changes its position, the moving member 10 assumes the first posture and moves in the width direction. Since the moving member 10 in the first posture is covered with the covering member 40, it is difficult for the player to visually recognize the moving member 10. Therefore, even if the moving member 10 changes its position, it is difficult for the player to recognize the position of the moving member 10. For example, after the moving member 10 that has become the second posture at a certain position executes the interlocking effect, the first posture is changed, the position is changed, and the second posture is again executed to execute the interlocking effect. Production can be performed. In other words, even if the moving member 10 moves, it is difficult for the player to recognize the position where the moving member 10 is exposed in the second posture next time, so that it is possible to produce a surprising effect. . Note that the moving member 10 may move within the predetermined range with the second posture.

  Further, as described above, the basic posture and another posture different from the basic posture are set as the second posture of the moving member 10 in the present embodiment. Hereinafter, an example of the interlocking effect using this will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the display device 50 displays an identification symbol 51 for informing the determination result. In the present embodiment, a group of identification symbols 51 composed of a plurality of identification symbols 51 (for example, a symbol group composed of a plurality of types of identification symbols 51 including numbers 1 to 9) is arranged on the left side, the center, When the combination of the identification symbols 51 that are variably displayed on the right side and finally stop becomes a predetermined combination, it becomes a big hit (notified that it is a big win), and when it becomes a combination other than that, it becomes out of place (out of place) Is informed). That is, it can be said that the identification symbol 51 is a kind of information image displayed on the display device 50. Examples of the predetermined combination that is a big hit include an aspect in which all three identification symbols 51 are stopped at the same symbol. In addition, the aspect of the identification symbol 51 to show in figure is an example to the last. Character designs other than numerical designs, character designs, etc. may be used, or a combination of these may be used.

  In the present embodiment, it appears that at least part of the fluctuating identification symbol 51 group has stopped or stopped (hereinafter, a state that appears to be stopped in this way may be referred to as temporary stop), and the identification symbol. The moving member 10 is used when performing an effect such that one of 51 changes. In addition, the moving member 10 is used when performing an effect such as giving an expectation to the identification symbol 51 to be stopped among the identification symbol 51 group that is fluctuating in the display device 50.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the identification symbol 51 that has been stopped or temporarily stopped is displayed as if it was burned by the moving member 10 imitating a lighter, so that the identification symbol 51 to be stopped is displayed. It is possible to execute an interlocking effect, such as giving an expectation as to what will happen or changing the temporarily stopped (temporarily stopped) identification symbol 51.

  In this case, the player is paying attention to which identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) is burned to the left, middle, or right. In the present embodiment, when the effect is executed, basically, the moving member 10 simulating a lighter moves to a position closest to the identification symbol 51 to be burned (linked effect of the basic pattern). For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when executing an interlocking effect in which the identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) is burned, there are a plurality (three in this embodiment) of identification members 51 (three in this embodiment). Among the identification symbols 51 group), the second posture is set in a state of being positioned closer to the middle identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) than the left and right identification symbols 51 (identification symbol 51 group). A linked production is executed. That is, the interlocking effect is executed in a state where the moving member 10 in the second posture overlaps the right side of the display device 50. In this case, the moving member 10 has a basic posture that is one aspect of the second posture.

  In the present embodiment, an interlocking effect (anomalous pattern interlocking effect) different from the basic pattern interlocking effect may be executed. For example, the moving member 10 is closest to the middle identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) than the left or right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) among the plurality of identification symbols 51 (identification symbol 51 group). The linked effect may be executed in the second posture in the state of being positioned. In this case, the moving member 10 becomes another posture which is one aspect of the second posture, and performs an effect of burning the left and right identification symbols 51 (identification symbols 51 group). When the left identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) is burned, the moving member 10 has a left-side posture inclined to the left (see FIG. 6), and when the right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) is burned. Is another posture tilted to the right (see FIG. 7). That is, the moving member 10 exposed in the second posture in a state positioned closer to the middle identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) than the left or right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51). The player who has seen the impression that the identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) in the inside may be burned, but on the contrary, the moving member 10 displays the identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) on the left and right. Since the effect of burning is executed, it is possible to produce an amazing effect. In this case, after giving the impression that the moving member 10 once becomes the basic posture and burns the identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) in the middle, the moving member 10 changes to the left and right positions. The identification effect 51 (identification symbol group 51) may be used as a linked effect that burns.

  Various productions of such irregular patterns are conceivable. The moving member 10 is closer to the right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) than the left or middle identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) among the plurality of identification symbols 51 (identification symbol 51 group). In a state of being positioned, the basic posture is changed to a different posture, and the left or middle identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) is burned (see FIG. 8), or the moving member 10 has a plurality of identification symbols 51 (identification symbol group 51). ) In the state positioned closest to the left identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) rather than the middle or right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51), the middle and right identification symbols An effect that burns 51 (identification pattern 51 group) can be considered. In addition, when the moving member 10 is positioned between the identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) in the middle and the left or right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group), the basic posture is changed to another posture. There is an effect (see FIG. 9) that burns either the identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51) or the left or right identification symbol 51 (identification symbol group 51).

  It should be noted that there is no need to generate an effect that always burns one of the identification symbols 51 (identification symbol group 51) when the moving member 10 is in the second posture. Although the moving member 10 is in the second posture, such an effect mode may not occur (the moving member 10 returns to the first posture).

  The linked effects can be used for continuous notices such as so-called pseudo continuous notices and hold continuous notices. Specifically, when the combination of the stopped or temporarily stopped identification symbols 51 is in a predetermined combination mode, continuous notice (continuous notification) is made such that the identification symbol 51 starts to fluctuate again while ensuring the continuity of performance. If the combination of the identification symbols 51 that are temporarily stopped or temporarily stopped is not the predetermined combination mode, any one of the identification symbols 51 is moved by the moving member 10 (lighter). It is possible to use the above-mentioned interlocking effect for the effect of changing to a predetermined combination mode by being burned and changed.

  For example, when the setting is such that the production continues when the inside identification symbol 51 becomes a predetermined symbol, the above-described linked production is used as to whether or not the identification symbol 51 being noticed by the player changes. do it.

  More specifically, when the inside identification symbol 51 becomes a predetermined symbol, the production continues, and when the left identification symbol 51 and the right identification symbol 51 which are different symbols are the same symbol, When setting so as to reach a so-called reach state, the moving member 10 (lighter) may burn the left or right identification symbol 51 to reach a reach state, and the moving member 10 burns the identification symbol 51 inside to a predetermined symbol. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which may be changed and an effect may continue.

  A specific example of this type of effect is as shown in FIG. When the left identification symbol 51 and the right identification symbol 51 are stopped or temporarily stopped and do not reach the reach state, the identification symbol 51 constituting the reach state or the temporarily stopped identification symbol 51, that is, the left or right identification symbol 51 is displayed. The moving member 10 (lighter) is exposed in the state of being located at the closest position (see FIG. 10A). In the production of the basic pattern, the left and right identification symbols 51 that are closest to the moving member 10 are burned as they are, and the symbols are changed (see FIG. 10B) to reach the reach state (see FIG. 10C). That is, when the moving member is exposed at a position closest to the left or right identification symbol 51, the player is given an impression that the player may change to the reach state.

  On the other hand, in the production of the irregular pattern, the moving member 10 (lighter) exposed in a state positioned closest to the left or right identification symbol 51 changes from the basic posture to another posture, and identification indicating the continuation of the production. The symbol 51, that is, the identification symbol 51 (which may be changing, or may be in a stopped or temporarily stopped state) is burned (see FIG. 10D) and changed to the predetermined symbol ( Refer to FIG.10 (e). In this example, it is assumed that the symbol “7” is set as a predetermined symbol). This indicates that the production continues. It is interesting that there is a possibility that the continuation of the production may be informed after giving the impression that it will change to the reach state by making such a series of productions possible. It can be set as a production.

  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.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is described that the target for executing the linked effect together with the moving member 10 is the display device 50 (identification symbol 51 (identification symbol 51 group) displayed on the display device 50) that is a kind of gaming member. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the interlocking effect may be executed by the moving member 10 with the covering member 40 or effect member (so-called accessory) installed in the gaming machine 1. Further, the information image displayed on the display device 50 that executes the linked effect together with the moving member 10 is not limited to the identification symbol 51. Any image may be used as long as the image is displayed on the display device 50 and displays information related to the game.

  Moreover, although the interlocking effect in the said embodiment demonstrated that the identification symbol 51 stopped or temporarily stopped and the moving member 10 interlock | cooperate (an effect which either the identification symbol 51 stopped or temporarily stopped is burned). Further, it is also possible to produce an effect in which the changing identification symbol 51 group and the moving member 10 are interlocked (for example, an effect in which the changing identification symbol 51 group is burned and then the identification symbol 51 is stopped or temporarily stopped).
