  Next, the inner frame 12 (resin base 38) will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the game board 30 is mounted on the inner frame 12 (resin base 38) on the rear side of the window hole 39. The game board 30 is attached in a state in which the peripheral edge thereof is in contact with the back side of the inner frame 12 (resin base 38). Therefore, a substantially central portion of the front surface portion of the game board 30 is exposed to the front surface side of the inner frame 12 through the window hole 39 of the resin base 38.

  Further, at the lower part of the front surface of the inner frame 12 (resin base 38), that is, below the window hole 39 (game board 30), a launch rail for guiding the launch device 60 and the game ball immediately after being launched from the launch device 60. 61 is attached. In the present embodiment, a solenoid-type firing device is employed as the firing device 60. In addition, above the launching device 60, a ball feeding device that guides the game balls guided from the upper plate 19 one by one to the launching position of the launching device 60 by driving a built-in driving means (for example, a solenoid). 63 is provided.

  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, a starting winning unit (starting port) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display device unit 35, a first special display device 43L, a second special display device 43R, and the like. It is disposed in a through hole formed by router processing, and is attached from the front side of the game board 30 with a wood screw or the like. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various winning ports such as the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32, the start winning unit 33, etc., it is detected by various detection switches, and is sent to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15). A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. For example, when there is a ball entering the start winning unit 33, there are three balls when there is a ball entering the general winning slot 31, and when there is a ball entering the variable winning device 32. Fifteen game balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (lower plate 15). In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and the game balls that have not won the various winning ports such as the general winning port 31 are discharged out of the game area through the out port 36. . In addition, the game board 30 is provided with a large number of nails for appropriately dispersing and adjusting the falling direction of the game balls, and various members such as windmills (servants).

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b as a starting winning means, and a pair of opening / closing members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b. The upper winning opening 33a allows a game ball to always enter, while the lower winning opening 33b is a game that flows down the gaming area by the opening / closing member 33c opening and closing in accordance with the establishment of a predetermined condition. The state can be changed between an open state in which a ball can enter and a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter. As will be described in detail later, the start winning unit 33 includes a first start winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b that detect game balls that have entered the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. When a game ball is detected by the start winning switches 224a and 224b, whether or not to generate a big hit state is determined, and special display devices 43L and 43R (and a decorative symbol display device 42 to be described later). ) Is displayed in a variable display. Then, when winning in the winning / losing lottery (a jackpot), a jackpot state (special game state) in which the variable winning device 32 is released is given.

  The first and second special display devices 43L and 43R are each constituted by a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and are installed on the right side of the variable winning device 32. Then, when the game ball enters the top winning port 33a of the start winning unit 33, the first special display device 43L performs switching display (variable display), and the game ball enters the lower winning port 33b. As a trigger, switching display (variation display) is performed on the second special display device 43R. Note that the display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as main control means described later.

  In addition, after the variable display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, whether or not a big hit is determined is determined by the display mode (lighting mode) when the variable display is stopped. . For example, when a game ball wins the top winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of segments to be lit) is switched and displayed (variable display, for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. When a predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when the jackpot lottery is won, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and a jackpot state is generated. In addition, the special display devices 43L and 43R are taught not only as to whether or not they are big hits, but in the case of big hits, the types of jackpots are also taught.

  When either the first special display device 43L or the second special display device 43R is performing the variable display or the determination display, the other is turned off (“−” is displayed). However, if neither the change display nor the determination display is performed in either case, “-” is displayed in both cases.

  In addition, when a game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variation display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the corresponding variation display is performed at that time. It is the structure performed after the end of. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the game ball won in the top winning port 33a and the game ball won in the lower winning port 33b. Then, the variation display up to four times (total eight variation display) is put on hold. In addition, the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b. If a new game ball wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the corresponding change display is also suspended.

  Basically, the variable display triggered by winning in the top winning opening 33a is stored in the order in which the corresponding game balls have entered the top winning opening 33a and is digested in the order in which they entered, and the bottom winning opening 33b. The change display triggered by winning a prize is stored in the order in which the corresponding game balls have entered the lower winning opening 33b and digested in the order in which they entered. However, when both the variable display triggered by winning in the upper winning opening 33a and the variable display triggered by entering the lower winning opening 33b are held (the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding hold) In the case where one or more lamps 46b are lit), the variable display triggered by the entry into the lower prize opening 33b is preferentially digested. In other words, unless all the variable displays triggered by winning in the lower winning opening 33b are digested, the variable display triggered by entering the upper winning opening 33a is not performed. For example, in the state where one first holding lamp 46a is lit, when a game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b and one second holding lamp 46b lights, the player enters the upper winning opening 33a. The change display that is triggered is postponed, and the change display that is triggered by the ball entering the lower prize opening 33b is performed first. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the fluctuation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a is also referred to as “first fluctuation display”, and the fluctuation display triggered by entering the lower winning opening 33b is referred to as “second fluctuation display”. Is also referred to.

  The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which no game ball can be won, and is in an open state in which a game ball can be won in a big hit state (occurrence of a special game state). Although not shown in the drawings, the variable prize winning device 32 has a large winning opening (winning opening) leading to the rear of the game board 30, a shutter (movable part) for opening and closing the large winning opening, and a shutter for operating the shutter. A prize winning solenoid (driving means) and a count switch 223 for detecting a game ball that has entered the prize winning opening are provided, and the variable prize winning device 32 ( The big prize opening) is switched between the closed state and the open state.

  Further, the through gate 34 is configured such that game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. As will be described in detail later, the through gate 34 includes a through gate switch 225 that can detect a game ball passing through the through gate 34. When the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225, the through gate 34 is started. A pitch assist lottery for determining whether or not the winning unit 33 is in an open state is performed, and a variation display for teaching the result of the pitch assist lottery is performed on the normal symbol display device 41. Then, when a winning is made in the winning assist lottery, the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a specified time after the end of the variation display.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a normal symbol display device 41 that variably displays triggered by the passage of the through gate 34, and a decorative symbol display device that variably displays in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. 42 is provided. Further, the variable display device unit 35 indicates a variation indicating whether the variation display performed on the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to which of the top winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b. A lamp 40, the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b, and a holding lamp 44 are provided.

  The normal symbol display device 41 is configured such that “O” or “X” can be lit and displayed as a normal symbol. “○” →... Is displayed at high speed (change display). Then, when the change display is stopped for several seconds with the “◯” symbol (winning symbol), the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display contents of the normal symbol display device 41 are directly controlled by a main control device 261 described later.

  In addition, when a game ball newly passes through the through gate 34 during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display device 41, the corresponding fluctuation display is performed after the end of the fluctuation display at that time. It has become. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in this embodiment, it is held up to 4 times, and the hold number is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 44. Yes.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is configured as a liquid crystal display device, and display contents are controlled by a sub-control device 262 and a display control device 45 described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 supports the auxiliary design based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Display contents are determined, and display is performed by the display control device 45 described later.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is provided with, for example, three symbol display areas, upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of symbols (for example, symbols numbered 1 to 9) are sequentially displayed in each symbol display area. After that, the symbols are stopped and displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display area → the lower symbol display area → the middle symbol display area). For example, when the jackpot is determined by the main control device 261, a display corresponding to the jackpot is made on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. In combination, the symbols are stopped and displayed (for example, the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region, the middle symbol display region, and the lower symbol display region are the same), and the big hit state is started.

  Further, when symbols are stopped and displayed in combinations corresponding to jackpots, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, for example, as a preceding stage. In this way, the state where the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area and the variable display is still being performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state.

  In addition, the variation specifying lamp 40 includes a blue light emitting LED and a red light emitting LED, and the decorative symbol display device 42 displays a variation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a. When the display is changed, the light is emitted in blue, and when the variable display is triggered by the entry into the lower prize opening 33b, the light is emitted in red.

  The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42. A ball entrance 151 is provided in the upper portion of the center frame 47, and a game ball that has entered the ball entrance 151 is formed inside the center frame 47 along the side of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on a stage 153 formed below the decorative symbol display device 42 via a warp channel 152 extending vertically. The game ball guided on the stage 153 falls from the stage 153 to the front game area, or rolls on the stage 153 and then enters the pocket 154 formed at the center back side of the stage 153. . The pocket 154 communicates with a guide passage 155 that leads to a game area directly above the start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a), and a game ball that has entered the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. The start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a) is entered.

  The game board 30 includes an inner rail component 51 and an outer rail component 52, and a rail 50 that guides a game ball launched from the launch device 60 to the upper part of the game board 30 is attached. As a result, the game balls fired in accordance with the turning operation of the handle 18 are guided through the launch rail 61 and the rail 50 into a game area formed between the game board 30 and the glass unit 137.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail constituting portion 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 4). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the rail 50 to the game area returns to the rail 50 again. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to a substantially distal end portion (upper right portion in FIG. 4) of the outer rail constituting portion 52. The game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is returned to, for example, the substantially central portion of the game board 30.

  In the present embodiment, the outer rail component 52 is interrupted at the upper right portion of the game board 30, and the inner rail component 51 is interrupted at the lower right portion of the game board 30. For this reason, the game area is defined by the inner peripheral surface of the rail 50 and the window hole 39 of the resin base 38. However, since the game ball launched by the launching device 60 may flow backward through the rail 50 until it passes through the return ball prevention member 53, the parallel portions of the inner and outer rail constituting portions 51 and 52 are excluded from the game area. It is burned.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a ball passage unit 70 is provided on the back side of the front frame set 14 below the window portion 101. The ball passage unit 70 includes a lower plate communication passage 71 connected from a payout mechanism portion 352 described later to the discharge port 16 of the lower plate 15, and an upper plate communication passage 73 connected from the payout mechanism portion 352 to the upper plate 19. In addition, there is a predetermined gap between the firing rail 61 provided on the front side of the inner frame 12 and the rail unit 50 (outer rail constituting portion 52), and the ball path unit 70 of the front frame set 14 includes A foul ball passage 72 is formed to guide the game ball dropped from the gap to the lower plate 15. Thereby, if the game ball launched from the launching device 60 does not reach the return ball prevention member 53 and returns to the rail 50 as a foul ball, the foul ball is returned to the lower plate 15 via the foul ball passage 72. Discharged.

  3 and 4 is a payout passage for guiding a game ball paid out by a payout mechanism portion 352, which will be described later, to the front of the inner frame 12, and an upper plate communication passage 73 (upper plate 19). And a passage leading to the lower plate communication passage 71 (lower plate 15). A shutter 68 is provided below the payout passage 67. When the front frame set 14 is opened, the shutter 68 protrudes forward by an urging force of a spring or the like so that the outlet of the payout passage 67 is almost closed. ing. When the front frame set 14 is closed, the shutter 68 is pushed open by the inlet side rear end of the lower plate communication path 71. In addition, the inlets (sphere inflow portions) of the lower plate communication passage 71 and the upper plate communication passage 73 are adjacent to each other, and in the closed state of the front frame set 14, each of the inlets and the discharge passage 67 are separated by a predetermined distance. A game ball can pass through the gap between the two. For this reason, when the upper plate 19 and the upper plate communication passage 73 are filled with game balls, the game balls to be dispensed flow to the lower plate communication passage 71 side (overflow to the inlet side of the lower plate communication passage 71), and the lower plate connection It will be paid out to the lower plate 15 through the passage 71.

  In addition, the ball path unit 70 is provided with a full detection switch (not shown) that detects a game ball located in the lower dish communication path 71. Due to the presence of the full detection switch, it is grasped that the lower plate 15 is full of game balls (the lower plate 15 is full of game balls and the game balls are retained in the lower plate communication path 71). be able to. In the present embodiment, based on the fact that a game ball is continuously detected for a predetermined time by the full detection switch, an error notification that teaches that the lower plate 15 is full using a display or sound on the decorative symbol display device 42 is used. Is controlled.

Further, the information display belt 401, the driving roller 406, the driven roller, the stepping motor 405, and the sub-control device 262 constitute a marker displacing unit, an information changing unit, and a state changing unit.

  The marker 403 includes, for example, identification information such as characters, symbols, pictures, designs, patterns, etc. In this embodiment, three marker seals 402 having different patterns (patterns, etc.) of the markers 403 on the information display belt 401 are mutually connected. Affixed at a predetermined distance. More specifically, the three marker seals 402 can be in a state where only one of each marker seal 402 is exposed, and are spaced apart so that all the marker seals 402 are not exposed. The information display belt 401 is attached.

  When the marker 403 is photographed with a camera-equipped portable terminal (mobile phone in this example) as an AR execution unit, which will be described in detail later, an object image 407 (3D character image in this example) is synthesized with the photographed image. The displayed image can be displayed on the liquid crystal display of the mobile phone. In other words, a virtual image (information) that does not actually exist is added to an image obtained by photographing a location that actually exists, and a composite image as if something that does not exist in the actual location exists is displayed on the mobile phone. Is displayed. Thus, the player can enjoy a technique called an augmented reality (AR) as if the actual environment and the virtual object existed in the same space. Note that the object image 407 shown in FIG. 7 can be viewed through a mobile phone (displayed on the display of the mobile phone), and cannot be viewed when the pachinko machine 10 is directly viewed.

  As a mobile phone used for displaying the composite image, an operation key for detecting a user operation, a liquid crystal display as a display means for displaying a result of various processes to the user, a photographing means capable of photographing a still image and a moving image. Camera, a communication unit that performs network electronic communication, a storage unit that can store programs and image data received by the communication unit, a processor that performs various controls, and the like. In addition, such a mobile phone recognizes the marker 403 photographed by the camera and grasps the relative positional relationship with the camera, and the marker 403 is positioned at a position relative to the marker 403 with respect to the image photographed by the camera. Application software (hereinafter referred to as AR application) having a function of displaying an image obtained by synthesizing the object image 407 corresponding to the above pattern on a liquid crystal display. However, the mobile phone in this example is intended to be personally owned by the player, and the mobile phone has a function for generating a composite image as described above, that is, an AR application or an object image. The image data to do is not preinstalled.

  For this reason, first, it is necessary to communicate with a server that distributes the AR application and download the AR application and the like. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, on the front side of the front frame set 14, there is a two-dimensional code (for example, QR code; registered trademark) as information means that can obtain the URL of the server that distributes the AR application or the like. A printed code seal 408 is affixed. It is assumed that the mobile phone has a barcode scanner function for reading a two-dimensional code. In this embodiment, the function of recognizing the marker 403 from the captured image and displaying the composite image based on the AR application or image data stored in the processor of the mobile phone and the storage means constitutes the AR control means. To do. Furthermore, the installation place of the code seal 408 does not have to be on the front side of the front frame set 14 and may be any part that can be photographed with a camera of a mobile phone.

  After the AR application received from the server is installed, when the AR application is activated, the camera is activated. Then, when the marker 403 is placed within the shooting range of the camera, the image determination function of the AR application recognizes the marker 403. More specifically, a plurality of points (corner portions) on the marker 403 that are arbitrarily set in advance are recognized, calculation processing or the like is performed to recognize the pattern of the marker 403, and the relative relationship between the camera and the marker 403 Recognize position (distance, orientation, angle). Furthermore, based on the pattern information and position information of the marker 403 obtained in this way, an object image 407 is generated, and the position of the object image 407 with reference to the marker 403 with respect to the image captured by the camera Perform processing to synthesize. The synthesized image is displayed on the liquid crystal display. That is, when the player photographs the decorative symbol display device 42 with the camera of the mobile phone in a state where the AR application is activated, the player sets the decorative symbol display device 42 on the condition that the marker 403 is in the photographing range. An image obtained by combining the photographed image and the object image 407 generated by the AR application can be viewed on a liquid crystal display, or can be recorded / reproduced.

  In this embodiment, even if it is not set to the state which records the image | video image | photographed with the camera, a synthetic | combination image is displayed on a liquid crystal display in real time by pointing the camera of a mobile telephone to the marker 403 in the state which started AR application. It is like that. In addition, the composite image can be displayed in real time on the liquid crystal display by setting the recording state, or the composite image can be displayed on the liquid crystal display only after recording and playing back. The AR application may be programmed.

  Moreover, in the state where the variable display is not performed on the special display devices 43L and 43R, or in the state where the reach is not generated even during the variable display, among the three marker seals 402 attached to the information display belt 401, The stepping motor 405 is driven and controlled so that the marker sticker 402 on which the A pattern marker 403 is printed is exposed (becomes photographable). Further, during the display of fluctuation, during the period from the occurrence of reach to the stop of fluctuation, basically no marker seal 402 is exposed. However, when a specific effect such as premium reach occurs where the occurrence of the jackpot state is confirmed (it is taught that the occurrence of the jackpot state is confirmed), the marker seal 402 on which the B pattern marker 403 is printed is displayed. It is exposed. In the big hit state, the marker seal 402 on which the C pattern marker 403 is printed is exposed. The stepping motor 405 is not driven only when the marker sticker 402 to be exposed is changed, but is driven so that the predetermined marker sticker 402 moves within a range that can be photographed by a mobile phone camera. Sometimes it is done.

  In the present embodiment, when the A pattern marker 403 is read, “whale” is three-dimensionally displayed as an object image 407 in the space in front of the decorative symbol display device 42. Furthermore, the “whale” grows in accordance with the game (the number of rotations, the number of jackpots, the appearance of a specific performance, etc.), and the body becomes large or performs tricks. More specifically, when a predetermined condition (total number of revolutions, total number of jackpots, appearance of a specific effect, etc.) is satisfied in the game, a two-dimensional code as specific information is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 as information display means. The When this is taken with a mobile phone, the AR application displays “whales” grown according to the two-dimensional code pattern on the liquid crystal display. In this way, the “whale” that can be met and grown by playing games becomes a pet for the player, and arouses new gaming motivation.

  In the present embodiment, a password indicating the growth state of “whale” can be displayed on the display of the mobile phone. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, in the present embodiment, an operation button 126 is provided in the vicinity of the effect button 125, and the effect button 125 and the special display devices 43L and 43R are not displayed. When the operation button 126 is operated, the decorative symbol display device 42 becomes a password input screen. By inputting the password with the operation button 126, a two-dimensional code that has already been read is not displayed.

  When the C pattern marker 403 is read, “whale” moves differently from when the A pattern marker 403 is read (for example, moves more around). When the A or C pattern marker 403 is read, no indication that “whale” pops out ahead of the glass unit 137 no matter how much “whale” grows.

  When the B pattern marker 403 is read, the “whale” becomes enormous and protrudes in front of the glass unit 137 (the space between the pachinko machine 10 and the player), or the space in front of the glass unit 137 is “ The display is like a “whale” swimming. In this way, the player can be surprised and impressed by the effect that the “whale” that existed inside the pachinko machine 10 jumps out of the pachinko machine 10, and the player touches the “whale”. You can shoot the image as if you are.

  The B pattern marker 403 is not exposed when the big hit state is started (the exposed marker 403 is switched to that of the C pattern), but the operation is performed when the B pattern marker 403 is exposed. When the buttons 125 and 126 as means are pressed, the B pattern marker 403 is exposed even if the big hit state is started (the exposure period of the B pattern marker 403 is extended). When the big hit state is completed, the A pattern marker 403 is exposed.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10. The main controller 261 (main control board) is equipped with a CPU 501 as a one-chip microcomputer that is an arithmetic unit. The CPU 501 includes a ROM 502 that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 501 and fixed value data, and a RAM 503 that is a memory that temporarily stores various data when the control program stored in the ROM 502 is executed.

  In the backup area 503a, when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like, the power of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned on again. (Similarly) is an area for storing stack pointers, values of registers, I / O, and the like. Writing to the backup area 503a is executed when the power is turned off by the main process. Conversely, the return of each value written to the backup area 503a is the main process at the time of power-on (including power-on due to power failure cancellation, and so on). Executed in Note that a power failure signal SK1 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 542, which will be described later, is input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Due to the occurrence, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) is immediately executed.

  Note that if data stored in at least the stack area and the backup area 503a is backed up, it is not always necessary to back up data stored in all areas. For example, the data stored in the stack area and the backup area 503a may be backed up, and the data stored in the work area may not be backed up.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 incorporating the ROM 502 and RAM 503 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus.

Further, a CPU 521, a program ROM 522, a work RAM 523, and a VDP 526 are connected to the input port 527 through a bus line 530. An output port 529 is connected to the VDP 526 via a bus line 531, and a decorative symbol display device 42 as a liquid crystal display device is connected to the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 45 receives the display command transmitted from the sub-control device 262 via the input port 527, analyzes the received command, or performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the received command to control the VDP 526. (Specifically, generation of an internal command for the VDP 526) is performed. Thereby, display control in the decorative symbol display device 42 is performed.

  The program ROM 522 is a memory that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data. The work RAM 523 is a memory that temporarily stores work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. It is.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data to be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the display content of the decorative symbol display device 42 is changed by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 is a memory that stores character data such as symbols displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42.

  The VDP 526 is a kind of drawing circuit that directly operates an LCD driver (liquid crystal driving circuit) incorporated in the decorative symbol display device 42. Since the VDP 526 is an IC chip, it is also referred to as a “drawing chip”, and the substance of the VDP 526 can be said to be a microcomputer chip with a dedicated firmware for drawing processing. The VDP 526 adjusts the respective timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, etc. to intervene in reading and writing data, and reads the display data stored in the video RAM 524 at a predetermined timing and causes the decorative symbol display device 42 to display it.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 that supplies power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 connected to the RAM erase switch 323. And.

  The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, generates + 12V power for driving various switches and motors, + 5V power for logic, backup power for RAM backup, etc. These + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311. Similarly, operating power is supplied to various switches, motors and the like via a control device to which these are connected.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit that outputs a power failure signal SK1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SK1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal SK1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of a power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt processing).

  The power supply unit 541 normally outputs an output of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the process at the time of a power failure even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Configured to maintain the value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit that takes in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clears backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SK2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. The

  As described in detail above, in the present embodiment, the information display belt 401 with the marker seal 402 attached is provided between the stage 153 and the decorative symbol display device 42. For this reason, with the camera of the mobile phone as the AR execution means, the decorative symbol display device 42 (display unit thereof) can be photographed so that the marker 403 is within the photographing range of the camera. By taking an image in this way, an image in which the decorative symbol display device 42 is imaged by the imaging means and an image obtained by combining the object image 407 (whale) drawn by the AR application of the cellular phone is combined with the cellular phone. It can be displayed on the display. Accordingly, the player can visually recognize an image as if an object image 407 that does not actually exist appears in front of the decorative symbol display device 42, not an image obtained by simply photographing the decorative symbol display device 42 with a camera. it can. Therefore, conventional effects such as simply showing a member such as a movable accessory installed in the pachinko machine 10 as it is, or simply displaying an image (2D animation or the like) based on pre-stored image data on the decorative symbol display device 42. It is possible to produce a performance that transcends the above range, and to provide the player with a good surprise and a new way of enjoying the game.

  Further, since the object image 407 does not exist, the object image 407 does not hinder the movement of other members regardless of the position on the captured image where the object image 407 appears. Furthermore, if the marker 403 is within the shooting range, the object image 407 can appear at any position on the shot image. Therefore, it is possible to produce a place where it has been impossible or difficult until now. For example, in the case where a real accessory moves around on the stage 153, the movement of the game ball rolling on the stage 153 is obstructed by the accessory, and the stage 153 becomes uneven or the range cannot be defined. However, in this example, such an inconvenience can be avoided and an object image 407 that performs a complicated operation can be displayed. As a result, the degree of freedom of production is greatly improved, and thereby the interest can be improved.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the appearance position of the object image 407 can be made outside the pachinko machine 10 by enabling the player to visually recognize the object image 407 by photographing the marker 403 with a mobile phone on hand. . That is, in the present embodiment, an effect display is performed in which “whale” as the object image 407 jumps out from the pachinko machine 10 (forward from the glass unit 137). In this way, the area where the production is performed can be expanded from a closed space such as the case of the pachinko machine 10 to a real space where the player is present, and an exhilarating feeling that has never been tasted before is given. Or the feeling that the object image 407 is touching the player can be given to make the pachinko machine 10 have a sense of familiarity. Also, since the player can see the composite image by shooting with his mobile phone himself, he can see only the person holding the mobile phone and can get a sense of superiority that others can not see, The object image 407 can be visually recognized from a favorite angle.

  In this embodiment, a marker seal 402 is attached to the rotating information display belt 401. That is, since the object image 407 is displayed at a position with respect to the marker 403, if the information display belt 401 is rotated and the marker 403 is displaced, the object image 407 is also displaced. . Therefore, the main object of recognizing the marker 403 and causing the corresponding object image 407 to appear at a position based on the marker 403 without performing control for operating the object image 407 by the AR application (processor) of the mobile phone. By performing the control, the moving image of the object image 407 can be visually recognized. Of course, it is possible to operate the object image 407 more dynamically or in various ways by controlling the movement of the object image 407 with the AR application and displacing the marker 403. The control can be simplified compared with the case where the control is executed by the control of the AR application. Accordingly, it is possible to perform more complicated effects using the composite image while suppressing the complexity of the control of the AR application. In addition, since it is possible to shorten the time required for the control of moving the object image by the AR control means, it is easy to synchronize the timing of the operation of the object image with the timing of other effects (sound etc.), improving the performance. Can be achieved.

  In addition, three marker seals 402 having different patterns of the markers 403 are attached to the information display belt 401. By rotating the information display belt 401, the exposed marker seal 402 can be changed. When each marker seal 402 is photographed, an object image 407 having a different aspect appears. Thereby, diversification of the object image 407 displayed according to the pattern of the marker 403 can be achieved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the marker seal 402 printed with the A pattern marker 403 is normally exposed, and in the big hit state, the marker seal 402 printed with the C pattern marker 403 is exposed. Further, when the reach state occurs in the decorative symbol display device 42, none of the marker seals 402 is exposed, but when a premium reach or the like that teaches that the occurrence of the big hit state is confirmed, The marker seal 402 on which the B pattern marker 403 is printed is exposed. Therefore, by changing the marker sticker 402 that is in an exposed state (capable of photographing) or making the marker sticker 402 not exposed, it is possible to diversify the effects using the object image 407. Further, since the B pattern marker 403 is not easily exposed, it is possible to generate a rare value in the corresponding object image 407 and to generate a new game motivation to collect the object image 407.

  In addition, if all the object images 407 are rarely visible, a player who cannot see the object images 407 will come out, and enjoy the benefits of making a dedicated application. There is a risk that the effect that can be reduced. In particular, the player downloads the AR application with his / her mobile phone, which may cause frustration that there is no opportunity to use the downloaded AR application. In this regard, in the present embodiment, since the marker seal 402 that can be photographed in most of the normal games and the marker seal 402 that can be photographed in the big hit state are prepared, such a problem can be avoided.

  Further, a code sticker 408 printed with a two-dimensional code indicating the download destination of the AR application is attached to the front surface of the front frame set 14. For this reason, the player can read the two-dimensional code with a mobile phone and download the AR application. Therefore, it is possible to save the player from searching for the AR application, and the player can shoot the object image 407 relatively smoothly after taking the object image 407 into consideration. It can be.

  Further, when a predetermined game condition (for example, occurrence of a predetermined effect) set in advance is cleared, a two-dimensional code is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and when the two-dimensional code is photographed with a mobile phone, The aspect of “whale” as the object image 407 displayed on the display is an aspect that has grown one step. In other words, even though the synthesized image of the object image 407 is novel, after the synthesized image is recorded on the mobile phone and played back multiple times, the synthesized image is no longer novel, and the player is no longer a pachinko machine. It is unlikely to be a factor attracting to 10. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the two-dimensional code displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 is read with a mobile phone, it is possible to visually recognize the aspect of the new object image 407. Thereby, a player can be attracted to the pachinko machine 10 for a relatively long period of time.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect button 125 or the operation button 126 is pressed while the B pattern marker 403 is exposed, the exposure period of the B pattern marker 403 is extended, and the B pattern is started even if the big hit state is started. The marker 403 is exposed. The object image 407 corresponding to the B pattern marker 403 can be enjoyed relatively slowly. For this reason, for example, it is possible to avoid a situation in which it is desired to capture the object image 407 corresponding to the marker 403 of the B pattern, but the mobile phone is not ready and the opportunity of shooting is missed.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

  Further, the main controller 261 is incremented by 1 every time the entrance count switch 157 is detected, and every time there is a detection by the probability change entrance detection switch 441, the normal entrance detection switch 442, and the out-going entrance detection switch 443. A remaining sphere monitoring counter to which 1 is subtracted is provided. By confirming the remaining ball monitoring counter, the number of game balls existing in the specific area 429 can be grasped. In addition, a monitoring timer is provided for measuring the time from when the ball counting switch 157 is detected, and the occurrence of ball clogging in the specific area 429 is monitored using the monitoring timer and the remaining ball monitoring counter. ing. In the present embodiment, the function of monitoring the remaining spheres in the specific area 429 using the remaining sphere monitoring counter constitutes the remaining sphere monitoring means. Further, in the present embodiment, the probability variation ball detection switch 441 and the normal ball detection switch 442 are in a state where a game ball is present in the specific area 429 and a state where there is no game ball (there is no wrinkles present). The detection is configured to switch between a valid state and an invalid state as a trigger for occurrence of the jackpot state.

  In addition, the second base portion 423 is provided at a position where the game ball guided backward and upward of the rotating body 425 by the guide passage is discharged, and a branch base 445 for guiding the game ball to either the left or right, The game ball that is deployed to the left or right from the branching table 445 and guided to the branching table 445 is guided to the front position of the rotating body 425 and flows into the receiving portions 431, 432, and 433 of the rotating body 425. A first guide passage 446 and a second guide passage 447 are provided. The bottom surfaces of the terminal portions of the first and second guide passages 446 and 447 are higher than the bottom surfaces of the receiving portions 432 and 433 of the rotating body 425 installed in the recess 424, and the receiving portions 431, 432 and 433 ( It is located below the upper end of the rotating body 425 (side wall). For this reason, the game ball that has passed through the guide passages 446 and 447 is received by the receiving portions 431, 432, The game balls that have flowed into 433 and once flowed into the receiving portions 431, 432, 433 are configured not to flow back to the guide passages 446, 447.

  Further, the probability variation prize opening 434 formed on the bottom surface of the concave portion 424 of the second base portion 423 extends from the end portion of the second guide passage 447 to the end portion of the first guide passage 446 along the rotation direction of the rotating body 425 ( (Along the front edge of the recess 424). For this reason, when the game ball flows into the probability variation receiving unit 431, it immediately enters the probability variation prize opening 434 and is discharged from the specific area 429. On the other hand, when the game ball flows into the normal receiving unit 432 or the off-receiving unit 433, until the normal receiving unit 432 storing the game ball matches the normal winning port 435, or the out-receiving receiving the game ball The rotating body 425 rotates by a predetermined amount until the portion 433 and the off winning prize opening 436 coincide with each other, and then enters the normal winning opening 435 or the off winning prize opening 436 and is discharged from the specific area 429.

  The game ball that has flowed into the probability variation receiving portion 431 immediately enters the probability variation winning opening 434, whereas the game ball that has flowed into the normal reception portion 432 is a normal winning after the rotating body 425 has rotated a predetermined angle. The ball enters the mouth 435. For this reason, for example, two game balls enter the specific area 429 almost simultaneously, and the first game ball out of the two game balls flows into the normal receiving unit 432, and the subsequent game ball receives the probability change. Even when it flows into the portion 431, it is possible that the detection of the probability variation ball detection switch 441 is performed before the normal ball detection switch 442 is detected. In addition, on the upstream side of the first guide passage 446, there is provided a slide 448 that gives momentum (increases the moving speed) to the game ball moving through the first guide passage 446, and the game ball is placed in the second guide passage 446. It is easier to flow into the receiving portions 431, 432, and 433 when moving through the first guide passage 446 than when moving through 447. As described above, the behavior of the game ball in the specific area 429 is directly related to the player's profit such as the probability variation big hit, the normal big hit, and the outage are distributed depending on which receiving portion 431, 432, 433 the game ball flows into. In addition, a first guide passage 446 and a second guide passage 447 with different game ball passing speeds are provided, or after flowing into the receiving portions 431, 432, 433, the detection switches 441, 442, 443 are provided. Since the time until the game ball is detected is different, a dramatic element is added until the game ball enters the winning holes 434, 435, 436, so that the player can visually recognize the game ball in the specific area 429. That can be said to have a tremendous effect in improving interest.

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a, a lower winning opening 33b serving as a starting winning means, an open state that allows game balls to enter the lower winning opening 33b, and a closed state that restricts entry. And an opening / closing member 33c that changes state. In the present embodiment, when there is a ball entering the top winning port 33a (when the first start winning switch 224a that detects a game ball that has entered the top winning port 33a is detected), the big win state is set. Whether or not to be generated is determined whether or not to be generated, and when winning in the determination of whether or not to win, a jackpot state is generated. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the winning / failing lottery is 1/400. The winning / no-win lottery result is taught in a variation display stop mode of the special display device 43L.

  As types of jackpot states, there are a normal jackpot in which a normal mode, which will be described later in detail after the jackpot is ended, and a probability change mode in which a probability change mode, which will be described in detail after the jackpot is completed, are provided. Furthermore, when winning in the winning / losing lottery, a type lottery for determining the type of jackpot state is performed. In the present embodiment, the proportion of probability variation jackpots in the type lottery is 50%, and the proportion of ordinary jackpots is 50%. The right or wrong lottery right based on the entrance to the top winning opening 33a is reserved up to four times, and the number of the reservations is lit and displayed by the holding lamp 46a. In addition, during the variable display of the special display device 43L (for teaching the result of the pass / fail lottery) based on the pass / fail lottery, the start of the variable display for teaching the result of the next pass / fail lottery is waited. It has become.

  Further, the lower winning opening 33b is normally in a state in which a game ball cannot enter due to the opening / closing member 33c. When the game ball passes through the through gate 34 (when the through gate switch 225 that detects the game ball passing through the through gate is detected), it is determined whether or not the opening / closing member 33c is opened. When a winning assist lottery is performed and the winning assist lottery is performed, the opening / closing member 33c is opened, and the gaming ball can be entered into the lower winning opening 33b. In the present embodiment, when the entrance assist lottery is performed in the normal mode, the winning is performed with a probability of 9/100, and when the entrance assist lottery is performed in the probability variation mode, the winning is performed with the probability of 9/10. It has become. The winning result of the entrance assist lottery is taught in the manner of stopping the variable display of the normal symbol display device 41. In addition, when the entry assist lottery is won in the normal mode, the opening / closing member 33c is opened once for 0.3 seconds, and when the entry assist lottery is won in the probability change mode, the opening / closing member 33c is released for 2 seconds · 3. It is configured to be opened once. In other words, in the normal mode, it is difficult to enter the game ball into the lower winning opening 33b, and in the probability changing mode, it is easier to enter the game ball into the lower winning opening 33b. Note that the right of the entry assist lottery based on the passing of the game ball through the through gate 34 is reserved up to four times, and the number of the reserve is displayed by the hold lamp 44. Further, during the variable display of the normal symbol display device 41 corresponding to the entrance assist lottery or during the opening control of the opening / closing member 33c based on the winning of the entrance assist lottery, the normal symbol display corresponding to the next entrance assist lottery is performed. The apparatus 41 is configured to wait for the start of the variable display (or wait for the variable display to be stopped).

  Further, when there is a ball entering the lower prize opening 33b (when the second start prize switch 224b serving as a starting ball detection means for detecting a game ball that has entered the lower prize hole 33b is detected), feathers An open lottery for determining whether or not to release the member 156 is performed, and the wing member 156 is opened when winning is made in the open lottery. In this embodiment, when the open lottery is performed in the normal mode, the winning is performed with a probability of 9/100, and when the open lottery is performed in the probability variation mode, the winning is performed with the probability of 9/10. The winning result of the open lottery is configured to be taught in a manner of stopping the variable display of the special display device 43R. Also, when the open lottery is won in the normal mode, only one of the pair of left and right wing members 156 is opened for 0.3 seconds, and when the open lottery is won in the probability change mode, the pair of left and right wing members 156 is opened. Both are open for 2 seconds. That is, in the normal mode, there are few opportunities for the game balls to enter the special prize-winning device 421, whereas in the probability changing mode, the game balls can be easily entered into the special prize-winning device 421. The right for the open lottery based on the entrance to the lower prize opening 33b is reserved up to four times, and the number of the reservations is lit and displayed by the holding lamp 46b. In addition, during the variable display of the special display device 43R corresponding to the open lottery or during the opening control of the wing member 156 based on the winning of the open lottery, the start of the variable display of the special display device 43R corresponding to the next open lottery is started. It is configured to be on standby (or to stop display of such variable display). The function of the main control device 261 that controls the opening / closing of the wing member 156 based on the result of the open lottery constitutes the open / close control means.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, among the ten receiving portions 431, 432, and 433 of the rotating body 425, a total of nine receiving portions 431 and 432 that determine the occurrence of the big hit state when the game ball flows in are obtained. Exists. For this reason, when one game ball enters the special winning device 421, a big hit state occurs with a probability of 9/10. In other words, in the normal mode in which it is relatively difficult to enter the special winning device 421, a jackpot state is generated unless the winning lottery is basically performed by entering the top winning opening 33a. However, in the probability variation mode, it is easy to enter the special prize winning device 421. In addition to the winning / failing lottery, the game ball is entered into the special prize winning device 421 to win the probability changing prize entrance 434 and the regular prize winning entrance 435. Can be expected to generate a jackpot state. Therefore, it can be said that the probability variation mode is a mode in which a big hit state is more likely to occur than in the normal mode. Furthermore, out of a total of nine accepting units 431 and 432 in which the occurrence of a big hit state is determined if a game ball flows in, there are six probability change accepting units 431 in which the occurrence of a probable big hit is (almost) confirmed if a game ball flows in. Exists. In other words, in the type lottery performed when winning in the winning / losing lottery, the probability of winning the odd variation is 50%, but when a game ball enters the special winning device 421, 6/9 Probability is a big hit with probability. Therefore, it can be said that the probability variation mode is a mode that is more likely to be a probability variation jackpot than the normal mode.

  In the state where the occurrence of the big hit state is not determined, the occurrence of the big hit state is determined when the game ball is detected by the probability variation incoming ball detection switch 441 or the normal incoming ball detection switch 442. For this reason, when a plurality of game balls enter the special winning device 421 (specific area 429) almost simultaneously, the game ball is surely changed into a winning opening 434 when the occurrence of the big hit state is already confirmed or during the big hit state. Alternatively, even if the player enters the normal winning opening 435, the right to generate a big hit state for the entered ball is not given (not added).

  Now, the special prize-winning device 421 according to the present embodiment includes a camera 451 as a photographing unit capable of photographing the specific area 429 (the rotating body 425 and the guide passages 446 and 447). The camera 451 is electrically connected to the sub-control device 262 so that the photographing state can be switched on and off, and image data photographed by the camera 451 can be input and output. Further, if the camera 451 is used to photograph the entire rotating body 425 and the guide passages 446 and 447, it is necessary to separate the camera 451 and the rotating body 425 to some extent. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the upper wall portion 427 is provided so as to protrude forward from the second base portion 423 (the rotating body 425), and the camera 451 is attached to the front lower surface side of the upper wall portion 427. It has a configuration that can be. In the present embodiment, the special prize-winning device 421 is arranged such that the camera 451 is positioned in front of the front surface of the game board 30 and the rotating body 425 and the guide passages 446, 447 are positioned in rear of the front surface of the game board 30. Is provided. In particular, the rotating body 425 is located behind the rear surface of the game board 30.

  On the rear side of the game board 30, a display control device 45 and the like are provided behind the decorative symbol display device 42, and a main control device 261 (substrate box 263) and the like are provided below the display control device 45 and the like. The board box 263 is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the game board 30, and a gap is formed between the game board 30 and the board box 263, and a hollow spacer (not shown) is provided to fill the gap. It has been. The special prize-winning device 421 of this embodiment is provided so as to penetrate the game board 30 forward and backward, and its rear part is located inside the spacer.

  Further, a marker seal on which a marker 453 is printed is provided between the rotation center of the rotating body 425 and a predetermined receiving portion (in this example, the normal receiving portion 432 adjacent to the disengagement receiving portion 433 and the probability variation receiving portion 431). 452 is attached. That is, the marker seal 452 circulates around the center of the rotating body 425 as the rotating body 425 rotates, and even if the rotating body 425 rotates, the relative positional relationship between the receiving portions 431, 432, and 433 is The structure is unchanged.

  In the present embodiment, an image obtained by synthesizing the image captured by the camera 451 and the object image 457 can be displayed on the decorative design display device 42. More specifically, the sub-control device 262 recognizes the marker 453 from the captured image and captures the object image 457 corresponding to the recognized marker 453 when the range including the marker 453 is captured by the camera 451. Is generated, and an AR application software (hereinafter referred to as an AR application) capable of executing processing for displaying an image obtained by combining the object image 457 and an image photographed by the camera 451 on the decorative symbol display device 42 is provided. In the present embodiment, image data for generating the object image 457 is stored in the display control device 45. In this embodiment, the AR control means is configured by the sub control device 262 (AR application or CPU 551 stored in the memory) and the display control device 45 (memory storing the image data for the object image 457). Is done.

  In the present embodiment, the camera 451 is activated when the incoming ball count switch 157 is detected (when the value of the remaining ball monitoring counter is not 0), and the decorative symbol display device 42 A normal display mode that displays only images (2D animation) based on pre-stored image data is switched to a shooting display mode that displays images shot by the camera 451. That is, when a game ball enters the specific area 429, the decoration symbol display device 42 displays in real time the state of the specific area 429 to which the object image 457 corresponding to the marker 453 is added at the position with the marker 453 as a reference. It will be.

  In the present embodiment, as the object image 457, the characters “Live”, a display in which “bear” moves around above the rotating body 425, and “flag” corresponding to the receiving units 431, 432, and 433 are displayed. It has come to be. There are three types of “flag”, and it is configured so that it is easy to grasp which receiving unit 431, 432, 433 corresponds to “probable big hit”, “normal big hit”, or “out” depending on the type of “flag” Has been. In the present embodiment, the phase information of the rotating body 425 is sent from the main control device 261 to the sub-control device 262 so that the sub-control device 262 can grasp the phase of the rotating body 425. Furthermore, since the sub-control device 262 performs display control of the object image 457, it is possible to link the movement of the rotating body 425, which is an actual visual aspect, and the movement of the object image 457. That is, even if the rotating body 425 rotates, it is possible to avoid the positional deviation between the receiving portions 431, 432, 433 and the corresponding “flag”, and the predetermined rotation of the rotating body 425 in which the “bear” is rotating. It is also possible to display such as jumping into the receiving parts 431, 432, 433, rotating with the rotating body 425 while taking out only the face from the predetermined receiving parts 431, 432, 433. Thereby, the behavior of the game ball in the specific area 429 can be surely grasped, and additional information regarding the rotating body 425 is provided to the player by the object image 457, or the visual appearance in the specific area 429 is made interesting. be able to. In addition, in the present embodiment, when the game ball enters the probability variation prize opening 434 and the occurrence of the probability variation jackpot is determined, there is a case where the “bear” congratulates the player. In addition, when the game ball enters the normal winning opening 435 and the occurrence of the normal jackpot is confirmed, there is a case where the “bear” bows.

  Furthermore, when all of the game balls are discharged from the specific area 429, when there is a winning at the probability changing prize opening 434 or the normal winning opening 435, or when winning at the probability changing prize opening 434 or the normal winning opening 435 is supported. When the effect of the object image 457 is completed (triggered by detection of the detection switches 441 and 442), the display mode is switched to the normal display mode.

  In addition, when there is a ball entering the special winning device during the variable display of the first special display device 43L and the decorative symbol display device 42, the display is switched to the shooting display mode and the symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 is displayed. The variable display may be displayed in a small size at the corner of the display unit of the decorative symbol display device 42, or the variable display displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 is stopped, and the result of the success / failure lottery is determined as the first special display device. The display may be displayed only at 43L, or the variable display is extended (standby) so that the variable display is not stopped until the final decision that the game ball has entered the specific area 429 is decided. You may comprise as follows.

  As described above in detail, in the present embodiment, the special prize-winning device 421 is provided in the lower right corner of the game area, and the specific area 429 of the special prize-winning device 421 is photographed by the camera 451 and arranged in the center of the game area. The decoration symbol display device 42 provided can display the state of the specific area 429. For this reason, the behavior of the game ball in the specific area 429 is clarified by visually recognizing the decorative symbol display device 42 without directly viewing the specific area 429 of the special prize-winning device 421 disposed at a position that is relatively difficult to visually recognize. Can grasp. Therefore, for example, in the game area, one or both of the decorative symbol display device 42 and the special prize winning device 421 is reduced in size, or one of the decorative symbol display device 42 and the special prize winning device 421 is reduced in size. The decorative symbol display device 42 and the special prize-winning device 421 can be provided side by side while avoiding a situation where the visibility of one of them is reduced. As a result, both the decorative symbol display device 42 and the special prize winning device 421, each of which has been devised in various ways, can be provided, so that it is possible to improve performance, playability, and decorativeness, and as a result, it is possible to improve interest. it can.

  Further, the special prize winning device 421 does not narrow the path until the game ball launched into the game area wins various winning means (variable winning prize device 421, upper winning opening 33a, lower winning opening 33b, through gate 34, etc.). It is provided in such a position. For this reason, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the behavior of the game ball in the game area is excessively restricted by the special prize-winning device 421 and causes a decrease in interest.

  In the present embodiment, the rotating body 425 and the guide passages 446 and 447 in the specific area 429 are photographed by the camera 451 provided in the special prize winning device 421. However, the camera 451 and the photographing target (the rotating body 425) are configured. If the distance to the guide passages 446 and 447) is too close, there is a concern that the shooting range is narrow and the desired mode cannot be shot. Furthermore, in order to separate the camera 451 and the object to be photographed in the front-rear direction (the game area becomes narrower if they are separated from each other up and down or left and right), if the rotating body 425 and the guide passages 446 and 447 are installed as far as possible, There is a possibility that the special prize-winning device 421 protrudes relatively rearward and obstructs the installation space for other members.

  In this regard, in the present embodiment, the camera 451 is positioned forward of the front surface of the game board 30, and the rotating body 425 is positioned rearward of the rear surface of the game board 30. Furthermore, since the behavior of the game ball in the specific area 429 can be visually recognized by the decorative symbol display device 42 wherever the special prize-winning device 421 is installed, the special winning a prize is ensured while ensuring the visibility of the specific area 429. The device 421 can be provided at a position that does not interfere with the installation of other members as much as possible (in this example, a space between the board box 263 and the game board 30 is used). Therefore, even if the camera 451, the rotating body 425, and the guide passages 446, 447 are separated from each other in the front-rear direction, the decorative symbol display device 42 and the special prize-winning device 421 are suppressed while suppressing an increase in the size of the pachinko machine 10 and a reduction in manufacturing workability. Can be installed side by side.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the game balls (the incoming ball count switch 157, the probability variation incoming ball detection switch 441, the normal incoming ball detection switch 442, and the out-going ball detection switch 443, which are present in the specific area 429 of the special winning device 421, Based on the value of the remaining ball monitoring counter that counts the number of game balls positioned between the two, only the image based on the pre-stored image data (variable display by 2D animation display, etc.) is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. The display can be switched between a normal display mode for displaying the image and a shooting display mode for displaying an image captured by the camera 451 on the decorative symbol display device 42. For this reason, the presence / absence of a game ball in the special prize-winning device 421 can be linked to the display mode in the decorative symbol display device 42, and the game ball is not entered in the specific area 429, that is, the player specifies When the area 429 does not feel particularly interesting, 2D animation display is performed, and when a game ball enters the specific area 429, the behavior of the game ball in the specific area 429 can be displayed in a live state. Therefore, as compared with the case where the state of the specific region 429 is always displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, the effect of using the decorative symbol display device 42 can be greatly improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the special prize-winning device 421 is provided in the lower right part of the gaming area (adjacent or close to the inner rail constituting part 51 as a frame constituting part that defines the outer peripheral edge of the gaming area) The entrance of the warp channel 152 that guides the game ball moving in the game area to the specific area 429 is located on the right side of the decorative symbol display device 42 disposed in the center of the game board 30. For this reason, it is difficult to know when the game ball has entered the special prize winning device 421 due to the entrance of the game ball to the specific area 429 being provided toward the corner of the game area. It is possible to avoid such a situation that it is difficult to enter the game ball into the special prize-winning device 421, or that it is necessary to hit the game ball at a specific position and bother the player's hand. In addition, a guide passage for guiding the game ball that has flowed into the warp channel 152 to the specific area 429 is provided on the rear surface side of the game board 30, and the game area is not divided by the guide path. For this reason, even if the special prize-winning device 421 and the entrance of the warp channel 152 are separated from each other, the space in which the game ball in the game area can move is prevented from being reduced as much as possible. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a situation such as a decrease in game performance due to a narrowing of the moving area of the game ball.

  In this embodiment, the marker seal 452 is attached to the upper surface of the rotating body 425 so as to be photographed by the camera 451, and the marker 453 is photographed by the camera 451. An image obtained by photographing the guide passages 446 and 447 and an object image 457 (such as a bear) drawn by the AR application can be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. Thereby, the player visually recognizes an image as if an object image 457 that does not actually exist in the specific area 429 captured by the camera 451 appears, not an image of the specific area 429 captured by the camera 451. be able to. Therefore, conventional effects such as simply showing a member such as a movable accessory installed in the pachinko machine 10 as it is, or simply displaying an image (2D animation or the like) based on pre-stored image data on the decorative symbol display device 42. It is possible to produce a performance that transcends the above range, and to provide the player with a good surprise and a new way of enjoying the game.

  Further, since the object image 457 does not actually exist, the movement of the game ball in the specific area 429 is not hindered by the object image 457 no matter where the object image 457 appears on the captured image. . Therefore, it is possible to perform a display effect such that a 3D character or the like as the object image 457 is entangled with the game ball without hindering the operation of the game ball, and the dramatic improvement in performance can be achieved. Furthermore, if the marker 453 is in the shooting range, the object image 457 can appear at any position on the shot image. Therefore, the object image 457 can also appear in places where it is difficult or impossible to actually appear (in this example, the upper surface of the rotating body 425, etc.). As a result, the degree of freedom of production is greatly improved, and thereby the interest can be improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the program (AR application) for generating a composite image of the object image 457 is provided in the pachinko machine 10, other effects and various game states in the pachinko machine 10, the object image 457, Can be linked (for example, the timing of the sound effect, the light emission of the electrical decoration member and the operation of the object image 457 are matched, the object image 457 performs the corresponding operation when the occurrence of the big hit state is confirmed, etc.). Therefore, a comprehensive presentation can be performed with the object image 457 and other members, and the stage performance can be improved synergistically.

  Even if the player does not have an apparatus (AR execution means) having an AR application that generates a composite image of the object image 457, the player can simply decorate the pachinko machine 10 by simply playing the game. The composite image displayed on the symbol display device 42 can be visually recognized. Therefore, the synthesized image can be enjoyed casually without bothering the player. In addition, if the AR application can be obtained by anyone and the AR execution means in which the AR application is installed can be carried, the object image 457 can be displayed anywhere by creating the marker 453 by itself. It becomes like this. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the sub-control device 262 of the pachinko machine 10 includes the AR application, the object image 457 cannot be visually recognized unless a game is performed, thereby attracting the player to the pachinko machine 10. And the abuse of the object image 457 can be suppressed.

  In addition, the marker seal 452 is attached to the rotating body 425. That is, since the object image 457 is displayed at a position with the marker 453 as a reference, the object image 457 is also displaced accompanying the rotation of the rotating body 425. Accordingly, the main application of the AR application that recognizes the marker 453 and causes the corresponding object image 457 to appear at a position based on the marker 453 without performing control for operating the object image 457 by the sub-control device 262 or the like. By performing the control, the object image 457 can be displaced. Of course, by controlling the object image 457 to be operated by the sub-control device 262 and the like and moving the marker 453, the object image 457 can be operated more dynamically or in various ways. The control can be simplified as compared with the case where the movement is executed by the control of the sub-control device 262 or the like. Therefore, it is possible to perform more complicated effects using the composite image while suppressing the complicated control of the sub-control device 262 and the like. In addition, since it is possible to reduce the time required for the control to operate the object image 457 by the sub-control device 262 and the like, it is easy to synchronize the timing of the operation of the object image 457 with the timing of other effects (sound, etc.) It is possible to improve performance.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the marker 453 is provided on the rotating body 425, and an image to which the object image 457 is added based on the rotating body 425 can be displayed. Furthermore, since the object image 457 appears based on the position of the marker 453, if the marker 453 is provided on the rotating body 425, the rotating body 425 (respective receiving portions 431, 432, and 433) and the object image are displayed. No misalignment with 457. That is, even if the rotator 425 is displaced, the sense of unity between the rotator 425 and the object image 457 does not decrease. For example, the “flag” as the object image 457 is displayed in the corresponding receiving units 431, 432, 433. It is possible to display so as not to be misaligned, and it is possible to avoid the display that the “bear” dives in parts other than the receiving portions 431, 432, and 433. Therefore, the above-mentioned effect of performing a novel production and improving the interest can be achieved more reliably. In addition, compared to the case where the “flag” is actually integrally formed with the rotating body 425 or the “bear” is made of an accessory and moved in a complicated manner, the occurrence of defective products and the improvement of manufacturing workability are aimed at. be able to.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (A) In the first embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42 forms a specific display area, and the marker 403 is arranged in front of the decorative symbol display device 42. However, the present invention is particularly limited to such a configuration. is not. For example, a winning unit such as the special winning device 421 of the second embodiment is provided in the center of the game area (game board 30), a marker 403 is provided in front of the specific area 429, or the operation is performed when a predetermined condition is established. Alternatively, a marker 403 may be provided in front of a movable accessory that jumps out to a position where it can be visually recognized. It is also possible to apply to a pachinko machine in which the decorative symbol display device 42 is not provided or a gaming machine in which the decorative symbol display device 42 is configured by an EL display device. It should be noted that even if the marker 403 is provided at a place where the aspect does not change particularly during the game, the object image is simply displayed at that place, so that a predetermined condition such as the decorative symbol display device 42 is set. A marker 403 is provided at or near a place where a specific display mode is obtained when it is satisfied, and a combination of the specific mode and an object image is configured so that a synergistic effect of performance can be expected. Is desirable.

  The arrangement of the marker 403 is not particularly limited. For example, the stage 153 is formed of a transparent plate and the marker 403 is arranged below the stage 153. The marker 403 may be arranged on a surrounding frame portion (for example, an inner peripheral surface intersecting the display surface). Further, the direction of the surface on which the marker 403 of the marker seal 402 is printed is not particularly limited, and may be directed upward or forward. It should be noted that the arrangement and angle of the marker 403 are appropriately set according to the reflection of the glass unit 137 and the like, the degree of light hit by the decorative symbol display device 42, and the like. In addition, a transparent protective means for protecting the marker seal 402 may be provided.

  (B) In the second embodiment, the camera 451 captures the specific area 429 (rotating body 425) of the special prize-winning device 421. However, the subject to be captured by the camera 451 is not particularly limited. . For example, you may comprise so that the decoration symbol display apparatus 42 may be image | photographed with the camera 451. FIG. In addition, a marker seal 452 may be disposed between the decorative symbol display device 42 and the camera 451 so as to fall within the photographing range of the camera 451, or the marker may be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. Furthermore, the display mode of the decorative symbol display device 42 and the display mode of the object image displayed by reading the marker 453 may be linked. For example, in the decorative symbol display device 42, a display is performed in which the marker moves from right to left together with the fish school, and the display is taken and recorded with the camera 451, and the recorded image is displayed before the fish school display is interrupted. On the other hand, a composite image in which a 3D character corresponding to a marker is added may be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42.

  In addition, at least a part of the decorative symbol display device 42 (a range in which the object image is displayed) is visible in front of the decorative symbol display device 42 as a display unit on which the composite image is displayed. An object may appear, an EL panel as a transparent display panel may be provided to perform a predetermined display, or a predetermined display may be projected (projected) on a plate-shaped transparent plate as a display panel . As a visual aspect in this case, a composite image in which a 3D character appears in front of a school of fish is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and since an accessory etc. appears in front of the decorative symbol display device 42, It becomes a visual recognition mode having a depth of three stages in the order of a 3D character, an accessory, and the like. Thus, by setting it as the visual recognition mode opened in the back, it is possible to change the player's viewpoint, and to expect improvement in performance, refresh effect, and the like. Further, by displaying on the front of the decorative symbol display device 42 with a movable accessory or a display panel, a part of the decorative symbol display device 42 (something that causes a decrease in visibility in the display portion is shown). (Parts etc.) can also be hidden. Of course, in the decorative symbol display device 42, an image in which a 3D character appears in front of the decorative symbol display device 42 is displayed. However, only a composite image is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, such as an accessory. There is no need to actually secure a space for the 3D character to appear between the decorative symbol display device 42 and the decorative symbol display device 42. That is, when the 3D character is not a composite image but a figure or the like, a space for arranging the decorative symbol display device 42, the figure or the like, and an accessory, etc. is required, but the 3D character should be a composite image. Therefore, it is only necessary to arrange the decorative symbol display device 42, the accessory, and the like in the front and back, while suppressing the expansion of the depth of the area from which such a composite visual aspect is derived, and consequently the enlargement of the pachinko machine 10, A visual aspect that is wider than the actual depth can be obtained. In the second embodiment, the marker seal 452 (marker 453) can be omitted.

  (C) In the second embodiment, the number of markers 453 photographed by the camera 451 is one pattern. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration. Further, in the second embodiment, when a big hit state occurs due to a ball entering the probability variation winning opening 434 or the normal winning opening 435, the sub-control device is based on detection of the probability variation winning opening 434 or the normal winning opening 435. Although the aspect of the object image is changed to a dedicated aspect by the control of H.262, it is not particularly limited to such a configuration. Further, a plurality of sub-markers may be provided separately from the marker 453, and the object image corresponding to the combination may be displayed by recognizing the marker 453 and the sub-marker.

  For example, in the area within the imaging range of the camera 451 in the specific area 429, a rotatable quadrangular pyramid-shaped information display member and a motor (sub-marker displacement means) for rotating the information display member are provided, and the outer periphery thereof is provided. A marker seal with a different marker pattern is attached to each of the four surfaces constituting the surface, and the information display member is rotated so that the corresponding marker is photographed by the camera according to various situations. Also good. In this case, the object image can be linked with other effects, or the object image can be used for effects that suggest the result of the lottery. In addition, when performing an effect or the like on the object image by changing the sub marker to be photographed, it is desirable that the sub marker is provided at a position where it is difficult or impossible for the player to visually recognize the sub marker.

  Furthermore, a configuration in which the displayed object image is changed by changing a marker to be photographed or a combination of the marker and the sub marker, or an operation corresponding to the object image when the sub marker moves is performed. In the case of such a configuration, the marker or sub marker to be photographed by operating the operation button 126 or the like (sub marker operating means) may be configured to be changeable. In this case, the object image can be changed (so that the player's favorite effect increases as much as possible) or moved at the player's will. As a result, the player can be more interested in the object image.

  In addition, there is no particular limitation on the configuration for changing the marker photographed by the camera or switching the marker to a state in which the marker can be photographed and a state in which the marker cannot be photographed. It is good also as providing the shutter member to perform, and it is good also as displaying a marker with a liquid crystal display device etc.

  In addition, in the first embodiment, it is basically possible to photograph the marker 403 at all times. However, the appearance condition of the marker 403 is not particularly limited, and for example, when the marker 403 appears. You may comprise so that it may be difficult to grasp. In the first embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42 or the like may be navigated to indicate that the marker 403 can be photographed or that an unusual marker 403 can be photographed. When the marker 403 is in the vicinity of the decorative symbol display device 42 as in the first embodiment, it is easy for the player to know where to shoot when navigating the shooting location.

  (D) In the first and second embodiments described above, the markers 403 and 453 are printed on the marker seals 402 and 452. The marker may be displayed on a display device such as the device 42 or the special display devices 43L and 43R. When displaying a marker on the display device, it is possible to relatively smoothly perform marker displacement, pattern change, (appearance) angle and orientation change, size change, and the like. Furthermore, it is possible to change the marker pattern and the like instantly, making it easy to synchronize with other effects and the like, and making variations of the marker pattern various. In addition, when displaying the marker on the special display devices 43L and 43R, if the marker is photographed by the camera as the photographing means, information such as the jackpot type may be taught in the display device as the display means. Good.

  Furthermore, the mode (pattern or the like) of the markers 403 and 453 is not particularly limited. For example, the face of a predetermined character displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 is recognized and an object image appears. It may be configured.

  (E) In addition, the form, appearance position, and the like of the object image to be displayed by reading the markers 403 and 453 are appropriately set for each model of the pachinko machine. Further, the object images 407 and 457 displayed on the predetermined display means may appear on the trajectory of the game ball (area where the game ball may pass) or appear on the trajectory of the movable accessory, for example. It is good to do. In other words, even if the display is performed as if the object image has appeared at the actual location photographed by the camera on the predetermined display means, the object image does not necessarily appear at the actual location. For this reason, no matter where the object image appears on the display unit of the display means, it does not affect the movement of the game ball or the operation of the movable accessory. In this way, by creating an effect by an object image closely with an actual moving object such as a game ball or a movable accessory, a novel effect can be performed, and as a result, an interest can be improved.

  For example, there are a specific area in which a game ball moving in the game area can enter and a guide path that guides the game ball moving in the game area to the specific area. If you enter a specific area through one branch passage, you will receive a winning prize out of the winning award that will result in a big win based on the entered ball and the non-winning winning prize that will not cause a big win even if you enter the ball It is easy to win towards the mouth, and when the game ball passes through the other branch passage and enters a specific area, it is easy to win towards the non-winning winning mouth, and the one branch passage and the other branch passage In addition to providing a detection switch for detecting a game ball in each, a door is displayed as an object image at the exit of each branch passage, and a display effect is performed such that the corresponding door is opened based on detection of the detection switch. There.

  Also, for example, as a movable member (movable accessory), a doll with no face drawn is provided, a marker is drawn on the face portion, and the doll's face and costume are drawn (three-dimensionally) in the object image It may be configured. In addition, it is configured so that the facial expression and costume can be changed by reading both the marker drawn on the face and other sub-markers. Sub-markers that can be photographed by the photographing means may be controlled to be switched.

  (F) In the second embodiment, a camera 451 as a photographing unit may be provided so that the player (in front of the pachinko machine 10) can be photographed together with the marker 453. In this case, the decorative symbol display device 42 can display an image (for example, an image such as a commemorative photo) in which an object image (for example, a 3D character) is reflected together with the player. In other words, the object image of the pachinko machine 10 jumps out of the pachinko machine 10 and gives a feeling as if the player is near the player, or gives a feeling as if the player has entered the world of the pachinko machine 10. It is possible to make the player feel familiar with the world view of the pachinko machine 10 and the like.

  Furthermore, you may comprise the camera provided in the pachinko machine 10 so that a displacement is possible. In this case, it is possible to photograph a plurality of places instead of one place with the camera, and it is possible to improve performance. In addition, when shooting is not performed, the camera can be stored at a position where it cannot be visually recognized. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the visibility of the member to be performed.

  In addition, as a structure which image | photographs a player with a camera, for example, it installs so that a camera may face a player side (front), and it displaces so that a camera can also face a player side (front). A liquid crystal display device and a half mirror are provided in the center of the game area, and a camera capable of photographing the liquid crystal display device and the half mirror is provided in front of the liquid crystal display device. For example, the player may be reflected on the display or the half mirror of the apparatus, and the display or the half mirror reflected by the player may be photographed with a camera. In addition, although the grounding position of the camera for photographing the player is not particularly limited, it is desirable that the camera is installed at the center of the game board 30 (for example, the center frame 47).

  Further, the camera and the marker may be provided on a rotatable plate-like body so that the relative positional relationship between the camera and the marker is not shifted (the same marker is always photographed by the camera). . In this case, the plate-like body and driving means (for example, a motor or a solenoid) for rotating the plate-like body constitute the photographing displacement means. In addition, in a configuration in which shooting is performed when the displaceable camera is in the first position and in the second position, the camera enters the shooting range of the camera in the first position. One marker and a second marker that falls within the shooting range of the camera at the second position may be provided.

  Further, the camera may be configured to be moved by operating the operation button 126. In this case, the player can also visually recognize the object image from a desired angle.

  In addition, when shooting a player with a camera flash, when using a captured image with the camera to produce an effect, particularly suggesting the possibility of occurrence of a state advantageous to the player such as a big hit state, You may comprise so that it may not know that the player was image | photographed with the camera. In this case, for example, when an image obtained by shooting the player is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is understood that the shot image is displayed at the time of shooting when the jackpot is confirmed. Can be avoided. For example, on the front of a horizontally long plate-shaped body that can be displaced by a distance X in the left-right direction, one camera with a flash function and light emitting means that emits light to the same extent as the flash of the camera (for example, the right side of the camera 3 on the left and 4 on the left) may be arranged at a pitch of a distance X in the left-right direction, and a half mirror may be arranged on the front surface of the plate-like body.

  Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the camera 451 is provided by providing the camera 451 on the lower surface of the upper wall portion 427 of the special prize-winning device 421 provided at the lower right portion of the game area that is relatively difficult to see from the player. Although it is configured so as to be difficult to see from the front, the camera 451 may be configured to be difficult to see by other methods. In the first embodiment, the player can directly view the marker 403 without changing the posture, but the marker 403 may be difficult to see. For example, in a configuration in which a camera is provided in front of the decorative symbol display device 42 (stage 153), a rib, a polarizing plate, a half mirror, or the like is provided in front of the camera and is generally seated on a chair installed in front of the pachinko machine 10. Although it is difficult to see from the viewpoint of the player who plays the game, the camera is pointed at the marker at a position deviated from the viewpoint of the player (for example, a position close to the glass unit 137 or a position above the player's viewpoint). You may comprise so that a marker can be image | photographed. Thus, when making it difficult for the player to see the marker or making it invisible, it is possible to suppress a decrease in designability due to the marker being visually recognized, and the game content (bonus given) depends on the type of marker. In the case where the state and the game mode type) can be discriminated, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the game content is grasped by grasping the marker type without seeing the object image.

  (G) In the second embodiment, a guide passage for communicating the warp flow path 152 and the special prize-winning device 421 (specific area 429) is provided on the rear side of the game board 30, and a game ball passing through the guide passage is Although it is a structure which cannot be visually recognized, it is good also as comprising a guide path by fitting the gutter member which consists of transparent resin with a cross-sectional U-shape into the recessed part formed in the front side of the game board 30, for example. Further, it is desirable that the front surface of the saddle member be flush with the front surface of the game board 30 (except for a portion screwed to the front surface of the game board 30).

  Moreover, in the said 2nd Embodiment, although the specific area | region 429 of the special prize-winning apparatus 421 is visible directly from the front (player), you may become unable to visually recognize directly. Since there may be a player who feels that the visibility of the predetermined part is hindered by the object image, or when the specific area 429 is not directly visible, the specific area 429 can be viewed directly. It is desirable to keep it. When direct viewing is relatively difficult, for example, the operation button 126 may be operated so that the object image 457 is not displayed.

  (H) In the second embodiment, there are a total of ten receiving portions 431, 432, and 433 of the rotating body 425, and it is configured to distribute whether or not the big hit state and the type of the big hit state are distributed. It is not limited to such a configuration. For example, it may be configured to distribute only the success or failure of the jackpot state, or may be configured to distribute only the type of the jackpot state. Further, the configuration for performing the distribution is not limited to the rotating body 425, and can be appropriately designed for each model. Further, a lottery using a random number counter or a table may be performed internally triggered by the detection of the probability change ball detection switch 441 and the normal ball detection switch 442, and a big hit state may be generated when winning by lottery.

  (I) In the first embodiment, the image data for the object image 407 may not be stored in the mobile phone. For example, the image data may be obtained by accessing the server each time shooting is performed. Good. However, in the game hall, there are a large number of electric devices such as anti-fraud sensors, and therefore, it is preferable to download the image data in advance in consideration of the adverse effects on these devices.

  (J) In the first embodiment, the AR application is downloaded by accessing the server from the mobile phone, but the pachinko machine 10 includes the AR application, the communication unit, etc., and the AR application is installed in the mobile terminal. It may be configured to have a function as a server capable of supplying For example, by operating a predetermined operation means (communication start means; for example, the effect button 125 or the operation button 126) provided in the pachinko machine 10, the download procedure is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the procedure is followed. When operated, the AR application may be downloaded from the pachinko machine 10 to the mobile phone by infrared communication or the like.

  In the first embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 may be provided with a portable terminal device that includes an imaging unit, a display unit, and an AR control unit (including an AR application and image data). The portable terminal may be connected to the pachinko machine 10 by a string-like or chain-like lead, an arm having a link mechanism, or the like so that the portable terminal cannot be carried.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 (the front side) of the first embodiment, a holder on which a player's portable terminal can be installed may be provided. In this case, the shooting position of the portable terminal can be determined to some extent, and the marker can be shot relatively favorably with the portable terminal. In addition, the holder may be configured to be displaceable (turnable or the like) so that the holder does not get in the way during normal games.

  (K) You may implement as a different type of pachinko machine from the above-mentioned embodiment. In addition to pachinko machines, various ball games, similar sparrow balls and other gaming machines, slot machines as revolving game machines, and other types of gaming machines that combine slot machines and pachinko machines, etc. May be.

[Appendix]
The technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described below.

  As a kind of gaming machine, a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, and the like are known. In a pachinko machine, for example, whether or not a big hit state is generated when a game ball enters a starting ball entering means provided in a game area where a game ball launched by a launching device is guided is determined. . When the winning / losing lottery is won, a big hit state advantageous to the player is generated, and the player can acquire a lot of game values (prize balls).

  Such gaming machines are provided with a display device and a movable accessory that perform animation display, and by performing various effects with these, you can have a sense of expectation for a big hit state, etc., or a monotonous feeling of the game (For example, refer to JP2003-154110A).

  However, in recent years, effects using the display device, movable accessory, and the like as described above have been taken for granted, and the effect methods have become more ruined.

  In addition, the said subject is a problem applicable not only to a pachinko machine but other game machines which have the same structure.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems and the like, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of performing a novel effect.

Means 1. When there is a photographing unit, a display unit capable of displaying an image photographed by the photographing unit, and identification information registered in advance within the photographing range of the photographing unit, the identification unit recognizes the identification information, and the photographing unit An AR control unit having application software capable of displaying an object image corresponding to the pattern of the identification information on the photographed image on the display unit so as to be superimposed on a position based on the identification information; A marker that is recognized as the identification information when captured by the imaging means of the AR execution means including
A specific display area that becomes a specific visual aspect when a predetermined condition is satisfied,
The gaming machine, wherein the marker is provided in or near the specific display area.

  According to the means 1, since the marker is provided at or near the specific display area, the specific display area can be imaged by the imaging means of the AR execution means so that the marker falls within the imaging range of the imaging means. By shooting in this way, the display unit displays an image in which the image of the specific display area shot by the shooting unit and the object image (digital information) drawn by the AR control unit are combined. be able to. Thus, the player can visually recognize an image as if an object image that does not actually exist in the specific display area or the vicinity thereof, rather than an image obtained by shooting the specific display area with the shooting means. Therefore, it has transcended the range of conventional effects such as simply showing members such as movable objects installed in the gaming machine as they are or simply displaying an image (animation etc.) based on pre-stored image data on the display means. It is possible to produce effects and provide the player with a good surprise and a new way of enjoying the game.

  In addition, since the object image does not exist, the movement of other members (such as a game ball and a movable accessory) is hindered by the object image no matter where the object image appears on the captured image. There is nothing. Further, if the marker is within the shooting range, the object image can appear at any position on the shot image. Therefore, it is possible to produce a place where it has been impossible or difficult until now. As a result, the degree of freedom of production is greatly improved, and thereby the interest can be improved.

  In particular, in the present means 1, the appearance position of the object image can be made outside the gaming machine by allowing the player to visually recognize the object image with the AR execution means on hand. That is, for example, it is possible to perform an effect display in which a 3D character as an object image jumps out of a gaming machine. In this way, the area where the production is performed can be expanded from a closed space such as a case of a gaming machine to a real space where a player is present, and a refreshing feeling that has never been experienced before is given Or a feeling as if the object image is touching the player, making the world view of the gaming machine feel familiar. In addition, since the player can see the composite image by shooting with the AR execution means himself, it is possible to obtain a sense of superiority that only the person holding the AR execution means can see and the other person cannot see. If the object image is, for example, a 3D character, the 3D character can be viewed from a favorite angle.

  In addition, as a specific display area which becomes a specific visual aspect when a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, a display device that performs a specific effect display when a predetermined condition is satisfied, or a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the area where an accessory that appears or operates in a place where it can be visually recognized, the area where a light emitting means that emits light when a predetermined condition is satisfied, or a pachinko machine, An area where a game ball can enter when the condition is satisfied is included.

  Mean 2. The information means (for example, a matrix type two-dimensional code) in which the download destination of the application software is described is provided, and the information means is provided at a position readable by the photographing means of the AR execution means including a communication unit. The gaming machine according to means 1, characterized in that:

  According to the means 2, it is possible to save the player from searching for the source of the application software, and the player shoots an image obtained by synthesizing the object image relatively smoothly after thinking of shooting the object image. It can be in a ready state.

Means 3. Comprising information display means capable of displaying specific information based on establishment of a predetermined condition;
The specific information includes a plurality of patterns,
When the different specific information is read by the photographing unit of the AR execution unit, the aspect of the object image generated by the AR control unit recognizing the marker is changed. The gaming machine according to means 1 or 2.

  Even if an image obtained by synthesizing an object image is new, after the composite image is recorded by the AR execution means and played back multiple times, the synthesized image is no longer novel and attracts the player to the gaming machine. It is hard to be a factor. On the other hand, in this means 3, an information display means for displaying any one of a plurality of specific information based on the establishment of a predetermined condition is provided in the gaming machine, and the new specific information is read by the AR execution means. It becomes possible to visually recognize the aspect of the new object image. Thereby, a player can be attracted to a gaming machine for a relatively long period of time.

Means 4. Markers,
Photographing means capable of photographing a range including the marker;
Display means capable of displaying an image photographed by the photographing means;
The marker is recognized in the image photographed by the photographing means, and the object image corresponding to the marker pattern is superimposed on the position taken with reference to the marker with respect to the image photographed by the photographing means. And an AR control means having application software that can be displayed by the means.

  According to the means 4, by photographing the range including the marker by the photographing means, an image obtained by combining the image photographed by the photographing means and the object image (digital information) drawn by the AR control means is displayed. It can be displayed by means. Thereby, the player can visually recognize an image as if an object image that does not exist actually appears in a place photographed by the photographing unit, not an image photographed by the photographing unit. Therefore, it has transcended the range of conventional effects such as simply showing members such as movable objects installed in the gaming machine as they are or simply displaying an image (animation etc.) based on pre-stored image data on the display means. It is possible to produce effects and provide the player with a good surprise and a new way of enjoying the game.

  In addition, since the object image does not exist, the movement of other members (such as a game ball and a movable accessory) is hindered by the object image no matter where the object image appears on the captured image. There is nothing. Further, if the marker is within the shooting range, the object image can appear at any position on the shot image. Therefore, the object image can appear in places where it is difficult or impossible to appear in the actual (real world). As a result, the degree of freedom of production is greatly improved, and thereby the interest can be improved.
