The game board 2 is formed in a substantially square shape in front view by a non-light-transmissive member such as a veneer board, and is provided on a board board provided with obstacle nails (not shown) and guide rails 2b etc. on the game board surface which is the front. It may be configured.

  At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the lower right position of the game area 10), a first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided. The first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are each composed of, for example, 7 segments or LEDs (light emitting diodes) of dot matrix, etc. Special symbols (also referred to as “special figures”) that are plural types of possible identification information (special identification information) are variably displayed (also referred to as variable display or variable display). For example, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B respectively variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. . The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" or symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols, in which combinations of what are turned on and turned off in the 7-segment LED are different.

  In the following, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display 4B is also referred to as the "second special view" .

  An opening 2c penetrating in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is formed near the center of the game area 10 in the game board 2, and an annular stage decoration frame 51 is fitted in the opening 2c (see FIG. 5). Further, behind the game board 2, a screen unit 300 having three screens for projecting an image projected from a projection device 400 to be described later and the effect display device 5 are provided. The screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5 Is visible through the opening 2c.

  Thus, the stage decoration frame 51 is located around the screen unit 300 as viewed from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, as described later, the stage decoration frame 51 may reflect the projection light from the projection device 400 and the light of the screen unit 300, and the visibility of the image projected on the screen unit 300 may be reduced. A color (for example, black or the like) that is less likely to reflect light than other members not located around the screen unit 300 (for example, a member or the like disposed outside the game area 10).

  The effect display device 5 is configured of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, corresponding to the fluctuation display of the first special drawing by the first special symbol display 4A in the special drawing game and the fluctuation display of the second special drawing by the second special symbol display 4B. For example, in the effect design variation area serving as a plurality of change display units such as three, effect designs (also referred to as decorative designs) that are plural types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each are variably displayed. The variable display of this effect pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  The variable display of the effect pattern is executed in any of the screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5. When fluctuation display of the production design is executed in production display 5, production design fluctuation area 5L, 5C, of “left”, “middle”, “right” which is set to the display area of production display 5 When the fluctuation display of the production design is executed individually in 5R and the fluctuation display is finished, in the production design fluctuation areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" The fixed effect design (final stop design) to be the variable display result is stopped and displayed.

  Further, even when variable display of the production symbol is executed in the screen unit 300, similarly to the effect display device 5, the variable display of the production symbol in the three display areas of "left", "middle" and "right" Is executed, and when the variable display is finished, the finalized design symbol (final stop symbol) is stopped and displayed in the three effect symbol fluctuation areas of "left", "middle" and "right".

  Thus, in the display area of the screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5, the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A, or the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B In synchronization with the special view game using the symbol pattern, the variation display of the rendering symbol is performed, and the determined rendering symbol as the variation display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as "derivation"). The finalized design symbol (finally stopped symbol) may be displayed on only one of the screen unit 300 or the effect display device 5. In addition, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols means to stop display (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) identification information such as effect symbols and to end variable display.

  The effect symbols variably displayed on the screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5 include, for example, eight kinds of symbols (eight alphanumeric The character image may be, for example, a character image, a number or a character, or a combination of a symbol and a character image, and the character image indicates, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, a symbol such as a character, or any other figure. It may be a decorative image). Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the rendering symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. The effect design is not limited to eight types, but may be any number (for example, seven types, nine types, etc.) as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that becomes out of place.

  In the left and right two places in the upper part of the display area of the effect display device 5, a first suspension storage fluctuation area 5D and a second suspension storage fluctuation area 5U are set. In the first reserve storage change area 5D and the second reserve storage change area 5U, a reserve storage display for specifying the number of reserve storages for the variable display (the number of special view reserve storages) corresponding to the special view game is performed.

  Here, the game ball passes the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, with the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special view game. It occurs based on the start-up winning by (entering). That is, although the start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing the variable display game such as the special drawing game and the variable display of the production symbol is satisfied, the variable display game based on the start condition established earlier is being executed. If the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, etc., suspension of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is To be done. In this embodiment, the holding memory display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening is displayed as a round white display, and the game ball passes the second starting winning opening ( Similarly, the holding storage display generated based on the start-up winning due to the entry is made a round white display.

The normally variable winning ball device 6B is provided with an ordinary electric symbol having a movable plate which changes between a closed position to be a closed position and an open position to be an open position by a solenoid 81 for ordinary electric symbol shown in FIG. , And form a second start winning opening as a start area (second start area).

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through (enters) the second start winning opening by the movable plate being in the closing position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is off. It becomes hard closed state. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by the opening control in which the movable plate is in the opening position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character is on. ) Is easy to open.

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, a first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, a second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the first special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit (for example, " If it is less than 4 "), the first start condition is satisfied. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the second start opening switch 22B, and the second special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit (for example, " If it is less than 4 "), the second start condition is satisfied. The number of winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the number of the winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the second starting opening switch 22B. The numbers may be the same or different from each other.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided on the right of the normally variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning prize ball device 7 includes a special winning mouth door (not shown) which is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning mouth door shown in FIG. A large winning opening (not shown) is formed as a specific area that changes to the closed state.

  As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for big winning mouth door is in the OFF state, the big winning mouth door (not shown) closes the big winning mouth (not shown), and the gaming ball You will not be able to pass (enter) the special winning opening (not shown). On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door (not shown) opens the big winning mouth (not shown), and the gaming ball is open. Makes it easy to pass (enter) the big winning opening (not shown). In this manner, the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters), which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass (enter). Do. In addition to the closed state where the game ball can not pass (enter) the big winning opening (not shown), or in addition to the closed state, a part where the game ball is difficult to pass (enter) the big winning opening (not shown) An open state may be provided.

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the special winning opening (not shown) is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23. Thus, when the game ball passes (enters) a special winning opening (not shown) that has been opened in the special variable winning winning ball device 7, other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More balls are paid out than when the game ball passes (enters). Therefore, if the special winning prize opening is opened in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, the gaming ball can enter into the special winning prize opening (not shown), and the first state is advantageous for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning opening (not shown) is closed in the special variable winning ball device 7, it is impossible to pass (enter) the gaming ball to the big winning opening (not shown) to obtain a winning ball Or it becomes difficult, and it becomes a second state disadvantageous to the player.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided on the right side of the second hold display 25B. As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of LEDs or the like of 7 segments or dot matrix similarly to the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and plural kinds of identification information different from the special symbol The symbol which is a normal symbol (also referred to as "common figure" or "ordinary figure") is variably displayed (variation display). Such a variation display of an ordinary symbol is referred to as a common-play game (also referred to as a "normal-figure game").

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a general drawing reserve display 25C is provided. The general drawing retention indicator 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general drawing retention memory number as the number of effective passing balls passed through the passing gate 41.

Also, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening and the large winning opening, for example, a single or a plurality of general winning openings can be provided which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. It may be done. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as winning balls based on the fact that a game ball entering one of the general winning openings is detected by a predetermined general winning ball switch. At the lowermost position of the game area 10, an out port is provided where game balls that have not entered any of the winning ports are captured.

  At the upper position of the opening and closing door frame 50, an upper projecting portion 210A projecting forward is formed in a bowl shape along the upper side of the opening and closing door frame 50, and on the left and right side portions in the upper projecting portion 210A, Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are accommodated. Although the present embodiment exemplifies a configuration in which the speakers 8L and 8R are accommodated on the left and right sides in the upper protrusion 210A, the present invention is not limited to this, and the speakers 8L and 8R are exposed. It may be provided on the upper projection 210A so as to Furthermore, in the peripheral part of the game area 10, an effect LED 9 is provided. Even if the LED for effect is arranged around each structure (for example, the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7 etc.) in the gaming area 10 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 Good. At the lower right position of the opening / closing door frame 50, a bat operating handle (operation knob) 52 is provided which is operated by a player or the like in order to shoot the game ball toward the game area 10. For example, the hit ball operation handle 52 adjusts the resilience of the gaming ball in accordance with the amount of operation (the amount of rotation) by the player or the like.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the variation display of the normal symbol is executed by the normal symbol display 20 that the gaming ball having passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. For example, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition for starting the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is started, for example, that the previous normal drawing game has ended, after the common drawing start condition for holding is established, the normal symbol display A regular game by 20 is started.

  In this common-play game, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when a predetermined time as the common-pattern fluctuation time elapses, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (a symbol per common figure) such as a number indicating "7" is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variation display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common figure". On the other hand, if an ordinary symbol other than the symbol per symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a number or symbol other than the number indicating "7" as the determined normal symbol, the variation display result of the ordinary symbol is "generally out of alignment". Become. In response to the variation display result of the normal symbol being "per common figure", the enlargement and release control (tilting control) in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip forming the variable winning prize ball device 6B is tilted is performed The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  For example, after the first starting condition is satisfied, for example, by detecting the gaming ball passing through (entering) the first starting winning opening formed in the regular winning ball device 6A by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. A special drawing game by the first special symbol display 4A is started based on the establishment of the first start condition due to the previous special drawing game or the end of the big hit gaming state. In addition, the second starting condition is established because the game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, by the end of the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, after starting the variation display of the special symbol, when the variation display time as the special figure variation time elapses, the variation display of the special symbol The finalized special symbol (special drawing display result) to be the result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result, and a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol. It becomes "off". In addition, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol may be stopped and displayed, and when a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) as a result of the predetermined display is stopped and displayed. The small hit game state may be controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit", it is controlled to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as a "round game") is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as an example, special symbols indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” are used as a big hit symbol, and special symbols indicating the symbol “-” are removed from the symbol. When the small hit symbol is to be stopped and displayed, for example, a special symbol indicating the number "2" may be used as the small hit symbol. In addition, each symbol such as a big hit symbol or an outset symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol indicator 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol indicator 4B. Also, the special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol or an off symbol.

  In the big hit gaming state, after the big hit symbol showing the numbers of "3", "5" and "7" is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game and it becomes "big hit" as a specific display result During the period until the predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or the predetermined number (for example, nine) of winning balls occur, the large winning opening of the winning opening of the winning ball device 7 is a large winning opening To the open state. As a result, a round is performed in which the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is put into the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player.

  The special winning opening door with the big winning opening opened during execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2, and then the special winning opening is closed, thereby the special variable winning winning ball device 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16” or the like). In addition, even before the number of times of execution of the round reaches the upper limit number of times, execution of the round may be ended by establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, the game ball did not win a prize winning opening etc.) .

  Among the rounds in the jackpot gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time for making the special variable winning prize ball device 7 the first state (open state) advantageous to the player is a relatively long time (for example, 29 seconds) is usually Also known as the open round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time for making the special variable winning prize ball device 7 in the first state (open state) is a relatively short time (for example, 0.1 second) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  In the case of displaying the small hit symbol (for example, the number “2”) in a stopped state, if these small hit symbols are derived as a finalized special symbol, the small hit game state as a special game state is controlled. good. Specifically, in the small hit gaming state, for example, as described above, in the special variable winning ball device 7 as well as the short-term open big hit state in which the winning ball is not obtained substantially It is sufficient to execute a variable winning operation for changing to the first state (open state).

  In the screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5 projected by the projection device 400, the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A and the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B are displayed. In response to the start of any of the special drawing games among the special drawing games used, the variable display of the effect symbols is started. And in a period from the start of the fluctuation display of the production design to the end of the fluctuation display, the fluctuation display state of the production design may be in a predetermined reach state.

  Here, with the reach state, when the effect pattern stopped and displayed on the screen unit 300 or the area on the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, the effect pattern is not displayed yet (( The display state in which the fluctuation continues, or the display state in which all or part of the production symbols fluctuate in synchronization while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. It is. Specifically, for example, a part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect design variation areas of the screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5 (for example, “left” and “right” effect design variation areas, etc.) ) The remaining effect design fluctuation area (for example, "inside" which has not been stopped yet displayed when the effect design (for example, the effect symbol showing the alphanumeric character of "7") which constitutes a predetermined big hit combination is stopped and displayed In the display symbol fluctuation area etc.) or in the display state in which the display symbol is fluctuated, or in all or a part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol fluctuation areas 5L, 5C, 5R Is a display state fluctuating in synchronization while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. These reach states also occur in the variable display on the screen unit 300.

  In addition, in response to the reaching state, the variation speed of the production design is reduced, or a character image (a production image imitating a person or the like) different from the production design is displayed on the screen unit 300 or the production display device 5 By changing the display mode of the background image or changing the shape of the screen unit 300, a rendering operation different from that before reaching the reach state may be executed. Such a rendering operation such as display of character images, change in display mode of background image, reproduction display of moving images, and change in change mode of effect pattern is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect display). Note that for reach effect, not only the display operation in the screen unit 300, the effect display device 5 and the screen unit 300, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L, 8R, 8U and the lighting operation in the light emitter such as the LED 9 for effect Operation etc. may be included as an operation mode different from the operation mode before reaching the reach state.

  As the effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. And each reach mode differs in the possibility of becoming a "big hit" (also referred to as "reliability" or "big hit reliability"). That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" can be differentiated depending on which of the plurality of reach effects is executed.

  When a special symbol to be the out symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a final special symbol in the special figure game, the variation display state of the representation symbol does not reach the reach state after the variation display of the representation symbol is started. In some cases, a fixed effect design that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display mode of the effect pattern is referred to as a "non-reach" (usually referred to as "normally off") variation display mode when the variation display result is "off".

  When a special symbol to be the out symbol is displayed as a stop (derived) as a final special symbol in the special figure game, after the variable display of the effect symbol is started, the variable display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state Depending on the situation, after the reach effect is performed or the reach effect is not performed, the predetermined effect pattern which is a combination of the predetermined reach may be stopped and displayed. Such a fluctuation display result of the effect pattern is referred to as a fluctuation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach failure”) when the fluctuation display result is “off”.

  If the big hit symbol indicating the number "3" is displayed as a special symbol in the special figure game as the special symbol to be the big hit symbol, the variation display state of the production symbol corresponds to the reach state. Then, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, a fixed effect pattern to be a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as "non-probable variation big hit combination") is displayed in a stopped state among a plurality of types of big hit combinations. The reach effect may not be executed, and the non-probable variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect pattern.

  For example, the determined effect design that is usually a big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is a symbol among the effect symbols of symbol numbers “1” to “8” that are variably displayed on the screen unit 300 or the effect display device 5 Any one of the rendering symbols having the numbers “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” is a predetermined effective in each of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” rendering symbol variation areas What is necessary is just the one displayed on the line and stopped. The effect symbols having symbol numbers of "2", "4", "6" and "8" which usually constitute a big hit combination are usually referred to as normal symbols (also referred to as "non-probable variation symbols").

  In response to the determined special symbol in the special figure game becoming a big hit symbol normally, after a predetermined reach effect is executed, the fixed effect symbol of the big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is stopped and displayed. The variable display mode is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”) of “non-probable change” (also referred to as “usually big hit”) when the variable display result is “big hit”. In addition, you may stop-display the big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) normally as a fixed production pattern, without a reach production being performed. Based on the fact that the variable display result is "big hit" in the big hit type of "non-deterministic change", it is controlled to a normally open big hit state, and after that, time shortening control (time saving control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the variation display time (special figure variation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time saving control, as described later, so-called electric Chu support is implemented in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is increased. Here, the normal state is a normal gaming state different from a specific gaming state such as a big hit gaming state, etc., and an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, as in the case where a system reset is performed) The same control as in the state where the initialization process is performed is performed. In the time-saving control, either of the special figure game being executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the end of the big hit gaming state and the variation display result being a "big hit", either condition is established first When it is done, you should finish.

  Among the special symbols that will be the big hit symbols as a final symbol in the special drawing game, the variation display state of the production symbols when the big hit symbols such as the special symbols showing the numbers “5” and “7” are stopped and displayed. After the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect design is "normal" is executed corresponding to the reach state being reached, a predetermined probability change big hit combination and a plurality of big hit combinations There is a case that the fixed effect design symbol is stopped and displayed. Note that the reach effect may not be executed, and the probability variation big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect pattern. For example, among the effect symbols of symbol numbers “1” to “8” displayed on the screen unit 300 and the effect display device 5, the determined effect symbols to be the probability variation big hit combination have symbol numbers “1”, The effect symbols of "3", "5" and "7" are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective line in the effect pattern variation areas of "left", "middle" and "right" I hope there is. The effect symbols having symbol numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, and “7” that constitute the probability variation big hit combination are referred to as probability variation symbols. When a probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a determined special symbol in a special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is usually a big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the created symbol.

  The variation display mode in which the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the final special symbol in the special figure game is the variation display result is "big hit" regardless of whether the finalization design is usually a big hit combination or a positive variation big hit combination. It is referred to as a variation display mode (also referred to as a “big hit type”) of “certain change” in a case. In the present embodiment, among the jackpot types of "probability", control is made to the normally open big hit state based on the fact that "5" and "7" are displayed as "big hit" as the determined special symbol. After that, probability fluctuation control (probability change control) is performed together with time-saving control.

  The probability variation control result (special figure display result) becoming "big hit" in the special figure game of each time is improved to be higher than that in the normal state by performing these probability change control. The probability change control may be ended when the condition that the variation display result becomes “big hit” after the end of the big hit gaming state and the big hit gaming state is controlled again is satisfied. As with the time saving control, when the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times same as the time shortening or 90 times different from the time shortening) after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability change control ends May be In addition, even if the probability change control is ended when it is determined that the probability change control is to be ended in the probability change fall lottery executed each time the special figure game is started after the end of the big hit gaming state, even if the probability change control is ended. Good.

  When time saving control is performed, control to make the variation time (general figure variation time) of the normal symbol in the regular drawing game by the regular symbol display 20 shorter than that in the normal state, or the variation of the normal symbol in each regular drawing game Control to improve the probability that the display result will be "per common view" than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable wing in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "per common view" The game ball is likely to pass through (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to make the tilt control time to perform longer than in the normal state, and control to increase the number of tilts more than in the normal state. By increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied, control (power-chute support control) that is advantageous to the player is performed. As described above, the control that facilitates the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening with the time saving control and is advantageous for the player is also referred to as high open control. As high open control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed.

  By performing the high open control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening is in the wide open state is increased more than when the high open control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special drawing game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the special drawing game can be executed frequently, so that The time until the variable display result is a "big hit" is shortened. The period during which the high release control can be performed is also referred to as a high release control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time saving control is performed.

  The gaming state in which both time saving control and high opening control are performed is also referred to as a time saving state or a high base state. Further, the gaming state in which the probability change control is performed is also referred to as a probability change state or a high probability state. The gaming state in which time-saving control or high opening control is performed along with the probability variation control is also referred to as high-probability high-base state. In the present embodiment, although the game state to be controlled is not set, the probability change state in which only the probability change control is performed and the time saving control or the high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. In addition, only the gaming state in which time saving control and high open control are performed together with probability variation control may be referred to as a "probability state", and in order to distinguish it from the high probability low base status, it may be referred to as a time reduction probability variation state. On the other hand, in order to distinguish from the high probability high base state, the positive variation state (high probability low base state) in which only time variation control is performed and short time control or high open control is not performed may be referred to as time short non definite variable state. The short time state in which time saving control or high open control is performed without performing the probability change control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability change control nor the time saving control nor the high open control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of time reduction control and probability change control is performed in a game state other than the normal state, the special figure game can be executed frequently, and the probability that the variation display result in the special figure game of each time will be a "big hit" Is enhanced for the player. A game state advantageous to a player different from the big hit game state is also referred to as a special game state.

  It should be noted that in the case of stopping display of the small hit symbol, the game state is not changed after being controlled to the above-described small hit gaming state, and the gaming state before the variable display result becomes "small hit" Control should be continued.

The image assumed to be a tire of a car is illustrated. The image shown in FIG. 8B, which looks like a tire of this work vehicle, is the upper and lower end portions of the tire as an image projected on the upper and lower end region portions of the third screen 303 so that the tire is at the back. An image to which a visible image is assigned (mapping) and which is an image of a central portion of the tire as an image projected on a central region in the vertical direction of the third screen 303 and to which a tire appears to be on the front side (mapping) It is done.

  If the image is projected onto the flat second screen 302, the second screen 302 may be an image aligned with the inclination of the second screen 302 and the plane of the second screen 302, for example, as shown in FIG. The image of the effect pattern moving up and down (fluctuating) is illustrated regardless of the inclination of the screen 302. The image shown in FIG. 8A which does not depend on the inclination of the second screen 302 has a width dimension greater than that of the image projected on the upper end area as the image projected on the lower end area of the second screen 302. It is considered as an image to which an image to be narrowed is assigned (mapping).

  In the present embodiment, an image is created by mapping in advance according to the shape of each screen 301, 302, 303, the image data is stored in the ROM 121, and the display control unit 123 stores the image in the ROM 121. Although the stored image data is read out and output to the projection device 400, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mapped data corresponding to the respective shapes of the respective screens 301, 302, and 303 are provided. It is not necessary to create an image in advance. For example, mapping data in which image data that does not correspond to the shape of each screen 301, 302, 303, and an area (coordinates) for mapping the image to match the shape of each screen 301, 302, 303 are described Is stored in the ROM 121, and the display control unit 123 reads the image data stored in the ROM 121 and the mapping data according to the screen, and the read image data corresponds to the shape of each screen 301, 302, 303. It may be mapped in real time, and the mapped image may be projected on the screen 301, 302, 303 using the projection device 400.

Further, on the back surface of the game board 2, a cover body 220 on which the effect display device 5, the screen unit 300, the movable object for effect (not shown) and the like are attached is integrally mounted. The cover body 220 is formed in a substantially box shape whose front surface is opened by a black opaque synthetic resin material so as to block the incidence of light from the outside, and a spacer member so as to cover substantially the entire rear surface of the game board 2 Mounted on the back of the As described above, when the game board 2 to which the cover body 220 is integrally attached is attached to the game machine frame 3, the cover body 220 is projected to the back side of the game machine frame 3 through the opening 160. (See FIG. 5).

  A main board case 11A in which the main board 11 is housed is provided on an inclined surface 220a formed on the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the cover body 220 which bulges rearward of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, a payout control board case 91A in which a payout control board 91 for performing control related to the payout of gaming balls is stored under the cover body 220 at the back of the gaming machine frame 3 and the pachinko gaming machine 1 are supplied with power. A power supply substrate case 92A in which a power supply substrate 92 for storing the power supply substrate 92 is accommodated is provided so as to overlap in the front and back. By doing this, since the substrate is not disposed on the back surface of the cover body 220, the distance between the screen unit 300 and the projection apparatus 400 can be increased by increasing the projecting dimension of the cover body 220 in the depth direction. It is like that.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, on the front surface of the opening / closing door frame 50, an upper protruding portion 210A above the second transparent plate 50b, left and right side protruding portions 210B of the second transparent plate 50b, and a second A cover member including a lower projecting portion 210C below the transparent plate 50b is provided so as to project forward with respect to the second transparent plate 50b. Since a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 1 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction in a game arcade etc., the other side pachinko gaming machines are adjacent by the side projection parts 210B protruding from the left and right sides of the second transparent plate 50b. Since it is possible to block the light incident from the front, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the game area 10, the effect display device 5 and the screen unit 300 in the pachinko gaming machine 1 from being lowered.

  The upper protruding portion 210A is formed in a bowl shape along the upper side of the opening / closing door frame 50, and a housing portion 211 capable of housing the projection device 400 is provided at the center position in the left-right direction. In addition, speakers 8L and 8R are accommodated on the left and right of the accommodation portion 211. In addition, the part corresponding to the accommodating part 211 in the upper protrusion part 210A protrudes a little forward rather than the left-right side. The side protrusions 210B are vertically extended along the left side and the right side of the opening / closing door frame 50, and are formed in a strip shape in a front view. The lower projecting portion 210C is formed along the lower side of the open / close door frame 50, and provided with a hitting ball supply tray, a stick controller 31A, a push button 31B, a hitting operation handle 52 and the like. In addition, the part corresponding to the accommodating part 211 in the upper protrusion part 210A protrudes in the front rather than the side protrusion part 210B.

  As described above, since the distance between the player and the speakers 8L and 8R can be shortened by arranging the speakers 8L and 8R in the sideward projecting portion 210B, the sound output from the other pachinko gaming machine 1 can be reduced. It is less likely to be affected, and the effect of sound effects can be enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the upper protruding portion 210A is integrally formed with the lower protruding portion 210C via an elongated strip-like side protruding portion 210B. Therefore, when vibration is generated in the lower protruding portion 210C by operating the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, the hitting operation handle 52 and the like, the vibration is transmitted to the upper protruding portion 210A via the side protruding portion 210B. However, the side projection 210B has a surface area smaller than that of the upper projection 210A or the lower projection 210C, and the projection length is also smaller, so that the vibration is less likely to be transmitted to the upper projection 210A. Therefore, it is suppressed that the image projected from the projection apparatus 400 shakes with the vibration which arises by operation of stick controller 31A, push button 31B, hitting operation handle 52 grade | etc.,.

  The first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b are provided to close the opening of the frame 50c. In the present embodiment, the first transparent plate 50a is formed of a transparent glass plate, and the second transparent plate 50b is a light from the front side (for example, room light of the game arcade, light from other pachinko machines, etc. And the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b are viewed from the player side, that is, the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b. The two transparent plates 50b and the first transparent plate 50a are arranged in this order.

  The first transparent plate 50a is formed of a flat plate (glass plate) having a thickness smaller than that of the second transparent plate 50b.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the presence of the second transparent plate 50b prevents the first transparent plate 50a from being beaten or the like by the player, and the light of the image projected from the projection device 400 Since the projection light must be transmitted through the first transparent plate 50a, it is preferable to suppress refraction, absorption of light, etc. by the first transparent plate 50a as much as possible. And a minimum thickness having a strength that does not break due to a collision or the like.

  Further, by using an acrylic resin plate as the second transparent plate 50b, it is possible to prevent fragments from being scattered even if the second transparent plate 50b is damaged, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, a glass plate to which a smoked film is attached may be used as the second transparent plate 50b. Also, conversely, both of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b may be made of an acrylic resin plate.

  In addition, in order to suppress reflection of light, a silver thin film is formed on the surface of the first transparent plate 50a (glass plate) of the present embodiment by vapor deposition.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the light (projected light) of the image projected from the projection device 400 is the second transparent plate 50b because the silver thin film is formed on the surface only on the first transparent plate 50a. Although it must not transmit through the first transparent plate 50a, the projection light is incident on the first transparent plate 50a from diagonally above, so the projection light is likely to be reflected by the first transparent plate 50a Thus, the projection light is prevented from being reflected by the first transparent plate 50a by forming a silver thin film on the surface.

  In the present embodiment, although the embodiment using a silver thin film as the antireflective film is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and an antireflective film other than these silver thin films may be used.

  Moreover, although the form which used the flat plate for the 1st transparent plate 50a and the 2nd transparent plate 50b is illustrated in a present Example, this invention is not limited to this, The curved plate which curves, You may be comprised by the bending board etc.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the first transparent plate 50a is formed of a transparent glass plate, and the second transparent plate 50b is formed of a translucent acrylic resin plate. At least one of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b may be made of a transparent material other than a glass plate or an acrylic resin plate, such as polycarbonate resin. As described above, the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b may be made of different materials, or may be made of the same material.

  Moreover, although the form which prevents the incident of the light from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 was illustrated in the present Example by comprising the 2nd transparent plate 50b with the translucent acrylic resin board, the 2nd transparent plate was demonstrated. By attaching a light shielding film to a glass plate or a transparent resin plate constituting the 50b, etc., a light shielding layer is provided to reduce the intensity of light incident from the outside at least, whereby the screen unit can be exposed to the ambient illumination light. It can be further prevented that the image projected on 300 becomes difficult to visually recognize.

  The first transparent plate 50a is erected substantially in the vertical direction, and when the opening / closing door frame 50 is in the closed position, the first transparent plate 50a is substantially parallel to the front face of the game board 2 Between the board and the board is formed a game area 10 in which game balls can flow down.

  The second transparent plate 50b is provided to be inclined at a position away from the first transparent plate 50a. Specifically, the separation dimension D1 between the upper ends of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b is longer than the separation dimension D2 between the lower ends of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b. (D1> D2). That is, the second transparent plate 50b is provided to be inclined so that the distance to the first transparent plate 50a gradually increases from the lower side to the upper side.

  In addition, the side peripheral surface of the space formed between the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b is covered by the closing frame 212, and between the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b. You can not insert your fingers. In addition, a projection port 213 is formed in a portion (upper part) corresponding to the housing portion 211 in the closing frame 212, and the projection device 400 is provided so that the projection section 401 (lens) faces the projection port 213. . That is, the projection part 401 in a present Example is provided between the 1st transparent plate 50a and the 2nd transparent plate 50b (refer FIG. 5).

  The projection apparatus 400 is accommodated in the accommodation unit 211 in a state where the projection unit 401 is directed obliquely downward. Further, in the projection unit 401, a diffusion preventing cylinder 402 for preventing diffusion of the projection light from the projection unit 401 (determining the projection range) is provided so as to surround the projection unit 401.

  As described above, in the projection apparatus 400, the projection portion 401 and the diffusion preventing cylinder 402 are provided in the projection port 213 which communicates the space surrounded by the first transparent plate 50a, the second transparent plate 50b and the closing frame 212 and the accommodation portion 211. The image can be projected through the first transparent plate 50 a to the screen unit 300 disposed behind the accommodation unit 211 by being provided in the accommodation unit 211 so as to face. Specifically, the projection light projected from the projection unit 401 obliquely penetrates the first transparent plate 50 a from the front of the first transparent plate 50 a, passes through the opening 2 c of the game board 2, and reaches the screen unit 300. It is supposed to be. That is, the projection device 400 is provided at a position where the light projected from the projection unit 401 passes through the first transparent plate 50 a without passing through the second transparent plate 50 b.

  In addition, the projection unit 401 and the diffusion preventing cylinder 402 are provided so as to face the space surrounded by the first transparent plate 50 a, the second transparent plate 50 b, and the closing frame 212 through the projection port 213. Since the front of the projection unit 401 and the diffusion preventing cylinder 402 is covered by the second transparent plate 50b, fingers and foreign matter are contained in the space surrounded by the first transparent plate 50a, the second transparent plate 50b, and the closing frame 212. Since the light can not enter, it is possible to prevent the projection light projected from the projection unit 401 from being interrupted by fingers, touching the projection unit 401 (lens or the like) or the first transparent plate 50a and causing fingerprints to be attached, etc. .

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the effect control board case 12 </ b> A in which the effect control board 12 is accommodated is attached to the lower portion of the back surface of the open / close door frame 50. One end of the wiring 230 is connected to the effect control board 12. The wiring 230 is extended to the back side of the gaming machine frame 3 through the insertion opening 215 formed in the lower part of the gaming machine frame 3. The other end of the wiring 230 is the main substrate 11 or the screen motor. They are respectively connected to various substrates including 304A, 304B and the like and electronic components for effect. The effect control board case 12A is detachably provided to the open / close door frame 50. That is, the effect control board 12 is detachably provided to the opening / closing door frame 50 via the effect control board case 12A. In addition, although the form which provided the presentation control board 12 in the back surface lower part of the opening / closing door frame 50 was illustrated in the present Example, this invention is not limited to this, The effect control board 12 may be disposed in the other part.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the screen unit 300 includes a first screen 301 formed in a substantially box shape that opens forward and upward, a second screen 302 and a third screen 303, and a second screen. A screen motor 304A, 304B for individually moving the second screen 302 and the third screen 303, and a mechanism unit 305 for transmitting the driving force of the screen motor 304A, 304B to the second screen 302, the third screen 303. And is fixed to the cover 220.

  The first screen 301 is formed in a substantially box shape, that is, a three-dimensional shape that is opened forward and upward by the left side plate 301A, the right side plate 301B, the lower plate 301C, and the back plate 301D. The left side plate 301A and the right side plate 301B can be viewed from the front by being disposed in a substantially C shape in plan view such that the separation dimension gradually increases toward the front. The lower plate 301C is arranged to be inclined downward toward the front, so that it can be viewed from the front. The back plate 301D is disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the game board 2 in the substantially vertical direction.

  The second screen 302 is composed of a base plate 302A made of a soft synthetic resin material and a decorative plate 302B fitted on the front side of the base plate 302A. The decorative plate 302B is a flat plate having a substantially rectangular shape in a front view. Further, on the left and right sides of the base plate 302A, arms pivotally supported by a pivot shaft (not shown) provided inside the mechanism unit 305 are attached. Therefore, the second screen 302 is arranged to cover the front of the first screen 301 by driving the screen motor 304A (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 6B), and the first screen A second retracting position (represented by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6B) which retracts to the upper side of 301 is pivotable about a pivoting axis that faces in the left-right direction. In the second projection position, it is arranged to be inclined upward to the back side.

  The third screen 303 has a substantially rectangular shape in a front view, and is a curved plate whose substantially central position in the vertical direction is curved to the front side. Further, on the left and right sides of the third screen 303, arms pivotally supported by a pivot shaft (not shown) provided inside the mechanism unit 305 are attached. Therefore, the third screen 303 is arranged to cover the front of the first screen 301 by driving the screen motor 304B (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8B), and the first screen A third retracting position (represented by a solid line in FIGS. 8A and 8C) which retracts to the back side of the cover 301 is pivotable about a pivoting axis facing in the left-right direction.

  As described above, the first screen 301 is fixed to the cover 220, and the second screen 302 and the third screen 303 are provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the first screen 301. In the present embodiment, the second screen 302 and the third screen 303 are not arranged at the second projection position and the third projection position together, but are alternately arranged. Alternatively, both may be disposed together at the second projection position and the third projection position.

  That is, the screen unit 300 as a projection target on which an image is projected by the projection device 400 is provided so that the second screen 302 and the third screen 303 can be selectively disposed at the second projection position and the third projection position. It is possible to change the shape by being done. Specifically, a first shape in which the second screen 302 is disposed at the second projection position to be a projection portion, and a second shape in which the third screen 303 is disposed at the third projection position and is a projection portion The second screen 302 and the third screen 303 can be retracted to the second projection position and the third projection position, and the first screen 301 can be changed to a third shape to be a projection target.

  In the present embodiment, the state in which the second screen 302 is disposed at the second projection position and becomes the first shape is the driving initial state of the screen unit 300, and the variation of the design pattern mainly on the second screen 302. When the display is executed and, for example, the CPU 120 for effect control determines the execution of effect such as the notice effect or the super reach effect, the effect pattern, etc., the determined effect pattern is the first screen 301 or the third screen 303. In the case of the effect pattern to be used, an image may be projected on the first screen 301 or the third screen 303.

  As indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 7, the projection device 400 is provided so that the projection light projected from the projection unit 401 reaches the first screen 301 disposed diagonally below the projection device 400. There is. Specifically, the upper limit of the projection range of the projection light projected from the projection unit 401 is slightly above the upper end of the back plate 301D, the lower limit is slightly below the front end of the lower plate 301C, and the left limit is the front end of the left side plate 301A, The right limit is a range which becomes the front end of the right side plate 301B.

  The projection device 400 is a stage in which projection light projected from the projection unit 401 is engaged with the game board surface on the front of the game board 2 or the opening 2 c and projected from the game board side toward the game area 10 It is provided so as not to be blocked by the decorative frame 51, the effect display device 5, and the like.

  In the projection apparatus 400 and the screen unit 300 configured in this way, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the second screen 302 is in the second projection position, it is on the front surface of the second screen 302, An image projected from the projection device 400 (e.g., a variable display of the effect pattern, etc.) is projected.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the third screen 303 is in the third projection position, an image (for example, a rendering image or the like) projected from the projection device 400 is on the front of the third screen 303. It is projected. As the image, an image according to the curved surface of the third screen 303 is projected.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the second screen 302 is in the second retracted position and the third screen 303 is in the third retracted position, the projection device 400 projects the light onto the front surface of the first screen 301. The projected image (eg, effect image etc.) is projected. In addition, the image according to the left side plate 301A, the right side plate 301B, the lower plate 301C, and the back plate 301D which respectively turns to a different direction is projected.

  The distances from the projection unit 401 of the projection apparatus 400 to the first screen 301, the second screen 302, and the third screen 303 as projected portions are different from one another. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A, a distance L1 from the projection unit 401 to a substantially central position in the front-rear and left-right directions of the second screen 302 disposed at the second projection position is shown in FIG. Thus, as shown in FIG. 8C, the distance L2 from the projection unit 401 to the approximate center position of the third screen 303 disposed at the third projection position in the front-rear and left-right direction, the first screen from the projection unit 401. The distance L3 to the approximate center position in the front, rear, left, and right directions of the back plate 301D disposed at the rearmost position in 301 is different from each other.

  Further, the relationship between the distances L1, L2, and L3 is set to L3> L1> L2. That is, the distance L2 from the projection unit 401 to the third screen 303 at the third projection position is the shortest, and the distance L3 from the projection unit 401 to the back plate 301D of the first screen 301 is the longest. The distance L1 from the second screen 302 to the second projection position is a length between the distance L2 and the distance L3 (L3> L1> L2). That is, the projection target unit on which an image is displayed by the projection device 400 is the third projection as the near region, in which the distance between the back plate 301D as the far region with the longest distance to the projection unit 401 is the longest and the projection unit 401 is the shortest. And a second screen 302 in a second projection position as an intermediate region between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303.

  Thus, when projecting an image on the back plate 301D of the first screen 301, projecting an image on the second screen 302, and projecting an image on the third screen 303, the image from the projection unit 401 is used. Since the distances are different, for example, when the focus of the projection unit 401 is focused on the third screen 303 closest to the projection unit 401, the focus shift when projecting on the back plate 301D located at the rearmost position becomes large. Further, when the focus of the projection unit 401 is focused on the back plate 301D farthest from the projection unit 401, the shift of the focus when projected on the third screen 303 located at the front becomes large, and the image becomes difficult to see.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second screen 302 disposed at the second projection position between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303 is adjusted in advance by focusing on the second screen 302. In the case of projecting an image on the back plate 301D, since the shift of the focus in the case of projecting the image on the second screen 302 and the case of projecting the image on the third screen 303 can be suppressed small, the image projected on each screen You can prevent it from becoming difficult to see.

  In the present embodiment, the second projection position is slightly forward of the intermediate position between the back plate 301D on the rear and the third screen 303 on the front, but as described above, the second projection 302 is the second projection position. Is placed in the drive initial state of the screen unit 300, and it takes a long time to project the variation display image etc. of the effect pattern, so the focal point F is placed at the second projection position as shown in FIG. The second screen 302 may be aligned with the middle area between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303, and may be slightly behind the middle position or the middle position between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303. The position may be adjusted.

  That is, an intermediate region between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303 in the present embodiment is an intermediate position between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303 (specifically, the distance L1 from the projection unit 401). Not only (L 2 + L 3) / 2) but also includes the entire area between the back plate 301 D and the third screen 303. Therefore, as long as it is between the back plate 301D and the third screen 303, the focus F may be adjusted to be close to either one of the back plate 301D and the third screen 303, or the back plate 301D and the third screen The focal point F may be focused on an intermediate position between them and 303. In particular, when it is desired to display the image projected on the third screen 303 more clearly than the image projected on the back plate 301D, the focus F may be focused on the position close to the third screen 303, or the back plate 301D. When it is desired to display the image projected onto the clear screen more clearly than the image projected onto the third screen 303, the focus F may be set so as to be close to the back plate 301D.

  Although the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the focal point F is set to the second screen 302 disposed at the second projection position, the present invention is not limited to this, and the back plate 301D and the third plate are not limited thereto. The focus F may be focused on a position different from the second projection position between the screen 303 and the screen 303.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the stage decoration frame 51 disposed so as to cover the periphery of the screen unit 300 has the surface colored in a color that hardly reflects light, as described above, and thus the projection light Is reflected to the player by the stage decoration frame 51, or is reflected in the first screen 301, the second screen 302, the third screen 303, the first transparent plate 50a, the second transparent plate 50b, etc. The visibility of the images projected on the screen 301, the second screen 302 and the third screen 303 is prevented from being lowered.

  In the stage decoration frame 51, a projecting wall 51a projecting forward from the gaming board surface (front face) of the gaming board 2 is provided so as to project over the entire circumference, and the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area 10 is at the opening 2c. The entry into the screen unit 300 provided to face is prevented. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7A, the front-rear dimension W1 between the front end of the projecting wall 51a and the back surface of the first transparent plate 50a is the gaming ball P shown in FIG. 7A. It is formed in a shorter dimension than the diameter R of)) (W1 <R). Thus, the game ball is prevented from entering the opening 2c side which is also the screen unit 300 side from between the projecting wall 51a and the first transparent plate 50a, so that the projection light projected from the projection unit 401 is the game ball Can be prevented from being blocked.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the image is projected from the front upper diagonal position of the screen unit 300, it is preferable that the projecting wall portion 51a be provided so as not to block the projection light projected from the projection unit 401.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the projection unit 401 is provided between the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b, so that the projection device 400 is provided. The projection light projected toward the screen unit 300 from the lens passes only the first transparent plate 50a, so that the projection of the image onto the screen unit 300 is prevented from being blocked by the second transparent plate 50b, and the projection is performed. The projection light from the device 400 is not refracted by the second transparent plate 50b. That is, the projection device 400 may be provided at a position where the projection light from the projection unit 401 passes through the first transparent plate 50a without passing through the second transparent plate 50b.

  Further, the separation dimension D1 between the upper ends of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b is longer than the separation dimension D2 between the lower ends of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b (D1 By becoming> D2, it is possible to secure a space where the projection light of the projection device 400 is incident between the upper end portions of the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b.

  In addition, the first transparent plate 50a may be formed of a glass plate suitable for the projection light of the projection apparatus 400, or the second transparent plate 50b may be formed of an acrylic resin plate whose strength is improved compared to the glass plate. By forming the transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b with different materials, each transparent plate can be configured to be suitable for the use of the transparent plate.

  Further, by making the first transparent plate 50a and the second transparent plate 50b different in thickness, the thickness suitable for each transparent plate can be obtained. For example, the second transparent plate 50b can be formed thicker than the first transparent plate 50a in order to improve the strength, or can be formed thin in order to improve the transmittance of projected light of the first transparent plate 50a. .

  Further, by forming a thin film layer of silver as a low reflection layer for reducing reflection of light on the surface of the first transparent plate 50a, it becomes difficult for the first transparent plate 50a to reflect the projection light from the projection device 400. The visibility of the screen unit 300, the game area 10, and the effect display device 5 can be improved. The silver thin film layer is formed on the surface of the first transparent plate 50a so as not to be peeled off by contact with the game balls, but the front is covered by the second transparent plate 50b, The player does not touch the thin film layer to attach a fingerprint or the like, and the visibility of the game area 10 is not impaired.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the embodiment in which the speakers 8L and 8R are accommodated in the upper projection 210A is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the speakers 8L and 8R are not limited to the side projection 210B or downward projection You may accommodate in the part 210C.

  In the above embodiment, although the embodiment in which the speakers 8L and 8R are accommodated in the upper protrusion 210A is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper protrusion 210A and the upper protrusion 210A are formed in the upper protrusion 210A. By interposing an elastic member such as a spring or a rubber as an anti-vibration means between the speakers 8L and 8R, it is prevented that the vibration generated by the sound output of the speakers 8L and 8R is transmitted to the projection device 400, You may make it prevent that the image displayed on the screen unit 300 becomes unclear.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the projection device 400 is housed in the housing portion 211 in the upper projection portion 210A is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, the housing portion 211 and the upper projection portion 210A By forming an opening communicating with the outside in the upper projecting portion 210A, heat generated by driving of the projection device 400 may be discharged from the inside of the housing portion 211 to prevent the projection device 400 from being overheated. Although the opening may be formed on any of the upper surface, the lower surface, and the side surface of the upper protrusion 210A, the opening may be formed on the upper surface of the upper protrusion 210A so that the heat discharged from the inside of the accommodation portion 211 can be efficiently discharged. It is desirable to form Further, in the case where an opening is formed on the lower surface of the upper protrusion 210A, for example, even if liquid or the like is thrown into the upper protrusion 210A due to mischief, the liquid can easily flow out of the upper protrusion 210A. .

  In the above embodiment, the focal point of the projection unit 401 is set in advance to the second projection position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the projection apparatus with respect to the storage unit 211 By providing moving means capable of moving 400 back and forth and up and down, the projection apparatus 400 is moved according to the screen on which the projection light is projected, and the distance from the projection unit 401 to each screen is adjusted. It is possible to display an image with almost no focal shift.

  In addition, even if the distance to each screen can not be adjusted by moving the projection device 400, the autofocus function of the projection unit 401 may adjust the focus to a position according to each screen. .

  In the above embodiment, the screen unit 300 has a plurality of screens, and the configuration in which the shape can be changed by rotating the second screen 302 and the third screen 303 has a third focal point F. The second screen 302 is between the screen 303 and the back plate 301D of the first screen 301, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the left side plate 301A as a projection target, the right side When an image is projected on the first screen 301 having different distances from the projection unit 401 in the front and rear portions by having depth in the front-rear direction like the plate 301B and the lower plate 301C, the left side plate 301A and the right side plate It is preferable to focus F on an intermediate region between the rear and front of the lower plate 301C.

  Further, in the embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, an image projected from the projection unit 401 to the first screen 301, an image projected from the projection unit 401 to the second screen 302, and Although the form different from the image projected on the third screen 303 has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first screen 301, the second screen 302, the second form having different shapes from the projection unit 401 respectively At least two of the images projected on the three screens 303 may be a common image. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B) and the modification 2 shown in FIG. 10 (C), a common image is projected between the case of projecting on the first screen 301 and the case of projecting an image on the second screen 302. In this case, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest due to the player recognizing the projection image by the change of the shape.

  Specifically, for example, in a notice effect, a super reach effect, etc., the effect control CPU 120 has a higher hit ratio than the image shown in FIG. 10 (A) and the image shown in FIG. 10 (A). B) While one of a plurality of images including the image shown in (C) is displayed and the image to be projected may be switched according to switching of the screen, the second screen 302 shown in FIG. When the second screen 302 moves to the second retracted position and the shape of the screen unit 300 changes while the image shown in Fig. 6 is projected, the player changes the shape before the image is displayed. It can be predicted that the image will be switched to the image with high expectation shown in FIG. 10A, but as described above, the image is projected on the first screen 301 and the second screen 302. By projecting a common image in the case of shadowing, it is impossible to know whether the image with high expectation shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C is displayed at least until the image is displayed. So you can prevent the decline in interest.

  It is also possible to project a common image in the case of projecting on the first screen 301 and in the case of projecting an image on the third screen 303, or in the case of projecting on the second screen 302 and on the third screen 303. A common image may be projected as in the case of projecting an image. Further, the common image may be an image having the same or similar content, and the appearance may differ depending on the difference in the shape of the screen.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 determines which screen of the first screen 301 to the third screen 303 the image is to be projected from the projection unit 401, that is, the projection that is projected from the projection unit 401 according to the shape of the screen unit 300. The light emission intensity of the light (the brightness of the projection light) may be made different. For example, as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10C, the light emission intensity of projection light when projecting an image from the projection unit 401 to the second screen 302 is set as a reference light emission intensity (light emission intensity: middle), The projection apparatus 400 is controlled so that the light emission intensity when projecting an image from the projection unit 401 onto the third screen 303 is weaker than the light emission intensity when projecting an image from the projection unit 401 onto the second screen 302 (emission (Intensity: weak), the projection apparatus 400 so that the light emission intensity in the case of projecting an image from the projection unit 401 onto the first screen 301 is stronger than the light emission intensity in the case of projection of an image from the projection unit 401 onto the second screen 302 (Emission intensity: high).

  That is, when an image is projected on the third screen 303 disposed at a third projection position closer to the projection unit 401 than the second screen 302, the projection light is slightly darker than when the image is projected on the second screen 302 If the image is projected onto the first screen 301 farther from the projection unit 401 than the second screen 302, the projected light is adjusted to be slightly brighter than when the image is projected onto the second screen 302. . By doing this, it is possible to prevent the image from being difficult to see due to the difference in brightness depending on perspective. Further, the effect control CPU 120 can prevent the image from being difficult to see even if the shape changes, by projecting the image with different brightness according to the shape of the screen unit 300.

  In the above embodiment, the stage decoration frame 51 as a member located around the screen unit 300 (projected portion) is a member not located around the screen unit 300 (projected portion) (e.g. outside the game area 10) Of the color, the material, and the surface state that are less likely to reflect light than the members disposed in the above), but the present invention is not limited to this. The screen unit 300 As members located around (projected portion), colors, materials, and surface conditions that are less likely to reflect light than members that are not located around the screen unit 300 (projected portion) such as obstacle nails, windmills, winning devices, etc. At least one of them may be used. In addition, the entire pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, the open / close door frame 50 including the game board 2 or the upper projecting portion 210A, the side projecting portion 210B, the lower projecting portion 210C, the stick controller 31A, the push button 31B, etc.) It may be at least one of a color, a material, and a surface state that are difficult to reflect.

  Further, although not implemented in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be provided with an error reporting control means, and the error reporting control means may report the occurrence of an abnormality in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In this case, the projection device 400 (projecting means) largely projects and reports an opening abnormality of the open / close door frame 50 (open / close door) that covers the main body in an openable / closable manner on the screen unit 300 (projected portion). Also, in the above embodiment, since the projection device 400 (projection means) is provided on the opening / closing door frame 50 (opening / closing door), an image for notifying abnormality can not be projected on the screen unit 300 (projected portion) Because it has high flexibility, it is provided separately from the screen unit 300 (projected portion) at least while the open / close door frame 50 (open / close door) is open, To effect display device 5 is a display capable of displaying means an image, it is sufficient to notify the occurrence of abnormality by displaying an error notification image.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the passage path through which the game ball (game medium) passes is provided at a position where the game ball passing through the passage path does not block the projection light projected onto the screen unit 300 (projected portion) In this way, it is possible to prevent the game light from being blocked by the game balls passing through the passage route and making it difficult to understand the image, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the passage route The game ball passing through may form a passage path so as to block part of the projection light.

  In the embodiment, although not described in detail, the effect control CPU 120, which is projection control means for controlling the projection apparatus 400 (projection means), has an open / close door frame 50 Although the control of the projection device 400 (projection means) is performed irrespective of the opening of the opening / closing door), the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect control CPU 120 which is the projection control means During a period when the 50 (opening / closing door) is open, control for reducing the brightness of the projection light projected from the projection device 400 compared to the period when it is closed, or stopping the projection by the projection device 400 Control may be performed.

  Further, although not implemented in the above embodiment, when the shape of the screen unit 300 changes (the screen to be projected changes), the specific image which can be projected onto the screen unit 300 is suspended by stopping the projection. It is specified by changing the shape of the screen unit 300 by displaying it on the effect display device 5 or projecting and displaying it on a non-changed part whose shape does not change without projecting about memory display or variable display of the effect design. The image may be prevented from being misidentified, or the hold storage display as the specific image or the fluctuation display of the effect pattern may be displayed in accordance with the change of the shape of the screen unit 300.

  Further, although not carried out in the above embodiment, in the case of projecting and displaying a specific image such as a pending storage display on the first screen 301 (projected portion) having a bent portion, the bent portion should not be straddled. It may be projected and displayed.
