The special screen 205A can appear ahead of the screen 5 when viewed from the side irradiated with the light emitted from the projector 32. Since the projector 32 is disposed on the near side (player's side) of the screen 5, the special screen 205 A can appear at the near position of the screen 5. The special screen 205A appears when a predetermined reach effect, for example, a special screen appearance effect is performed. In the special screen 205A, a flat image display area is formed. Under the control of the display control unit 123 (see FIG. 7) in the effect control board 12, the projector 32 can project an image (video) with focus according to each of the screen 5 and the special screen 205A.

  The normal winning ball device 6A provided on the game board 2 forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area which is always kept in a constant open state. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is provided with an electric tulip type character that changes between the normal open state and the enlarged open state by the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric character shown in FIG. 7, and the second start winning as a starting area Form a mouth. The electrically operated tulip type part is controlled to the enlarged open state when the variable display result (final result) in the common drawing game (described later) is "per common drawing". The special variable winning prize ball device 7 includes a special winning opening door which is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning opening door shown in FIG. 7, and the special winning opening mouth changes into an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. Form The special winning opening is controlled to the open state, for example, when the variable display result (final result) in the first special view game (described later) or the second special view game (described later) is “big hit”.

  The first special symbol display device 4A has a first start condition to be described later (after the first start condition is established by the game ball passing the first start winning opening) after winning in the normal winning ball device 6A. Performs a variable display of special symbols based on the establishment. The second special symbol display device 4B is a second start condition to be described later (after the second start condition is satisfied due to the game ball passing the second start winning opening) after winning in the normally variable winning ball device 6B. Perform variable display of special symbols based on the fact that

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed in the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a first special view, and the variable display of the first special view is also referred to as a "first special view game". The special symbol variably displayed in the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a second special view, and the variable display of the second special view is also referred to as a "second special view game". Also, both the first special view game and the second special view game are collectively referred to as a "special view game", and both the first start condition and the second start condition are collectively referred to as a "special view start condition". There are cases where both the condition and the second start condition are generically referred to as "special drawing start condition".

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit" (for example, after the special symbol predetermined as the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as the variable display result (stop display)), the big hit gaming state (game Controlled by the user) is advantageous. In the jackpot gaming state, the period until the predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or the predetermined number (for example, nine pieces) of winning balls of the special winning hole device of the special variable winning ball device 7 It is a gaming state in which the big winning opening is controlled to the open state until the occurrence of the.

  The start condition (also referred to as the first start condition) for starting the first special view game even though the normal winning ball device 6A has a win (in spite of the establishment of the first start condition) Is not established, the variable display corresponding to the winning combination is stored as pending storage. Specifically, the information for executing the variable display (first special view game) based on the winning is held in a manner such that the winning order can be understood with a predetermined number (for example, 4) as the upper limit (first special It is stored as a figure pending storage (details will be described later). The start condition (also referred to as a second start condition) for starting the second special figure game even though there is a win on the normally variable winning ball device 6B (despite the establishment of the second start condition) Is not established, the variable display corresponding to the winning combination is stored as pending storage. Specifically, the information for executing the variable display (second special view game) based on the winning is held in a manner such that the winning order can be understood with the predetermined number (for example, 4) as the upper limit (second special It is stored as a figure pending storage (details will be described later). In addition, for example, the winning order in the whole (the special figure reserve storage described below) which combines the first special figure reserve storage and the second special figure reserve storage separately from the first special figure reserve storage and the second special figure reserve storage Information that can be understood may be stored. Even when the first start condition is satisfied immediately when the first start condition is satisfied, the first special view reserve storage may be stored although it is instantaneous (although it is immediately digested after storage). . Also, even when the second start condition is satisfied immediately when the second start condition is satisfied, the second special image storage may be stored although it is instantaneous. In addition, both the 1st special figure reservation memory and the 2nd special figure reservation memory may be generically called "the special figure reservation memory." The information on which the pending storage and the winning order are known is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102.

  The special figure start condition is, for example, the case where the number of reserved special figure games (also referred to as special figure reserve memory number) is not 0, and the special figure game is not being executed, and is controlled to the big hit gaming state It is established when it is not in the state. When the special figure start condition is satisfied (every time the special figure game is started), the special figure holding memory is digested (the special figure holding memory decreases), and the special figure game is started. In other words, the special feature reservation storage decreases each time the special feature game is started. More specifically, the number of reservations for the first special view game (the number of first special view reservation memories) decreases each time the first special view game is started (every time the first start condition is satisfied), The number of reservations for the 2 special-figure game (the number of 2nd special-figure reserve memories) decreases each time the second special-figure game is started (every time the second start condition is satisfied).

  In the present embodiment, the special map reservation storage is digested in the winning order regardless of whether it is the first special drawing reservation storage or the second special drawing reservation storage. Therefore, for example, in the case of being stored in the order of the first special view reserve storage, the first special view reserve storage, the second special view reserve storage, and the first special view reserve storage, the first start condition, the first start condition , The second start condition, and the first start condition. That is, as described above, the special figure start condition is a case where the special figure reserve memory number is not 0 and the special figure game is not executed, and is not controlled to the big hit gaming state. More specifically, the first start condition is satisfied and the first stored special map is stored when the first stored special map storage is the first special map holding storage. If the pending storage is the second special view pending storage, the second start condition is satisfied.

  The center frame 4C is provided at the center of the game board 2, and a screen mounting hole 2A is formed at the center of the center frame 4C. In addition, a logo symbol 26 is attached to an upper end portion of the center frame 4C. The logo accessory 26 is fixedly attached to the center frame 4C, but may be movable, for example, moving in the vertical direction.

  The first hold indicator 25A displays the hold number of the first special view game (the first special view hold storage number) in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the hold number of the second special view game (the second special view hold storage number) in an identifiable manner. In the normal symbol display unit 20, after the gaming ball passes the passage gate 41 (after the general drawing start condition is established by the gaming ball passing the passage gate 41), the start condition of the common drawing game described later is satisfied Perform variable display of the normal symbol based on that. In addition, the variable display of an ordinary symbol is also referred to as a "common game".

  Even though the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 (despite the establishment of the common drawing start condition), the start condition of the common drawing game (also referred to as the common drawing start condition) is not satisfied yet The variable display based on the passage (pop-up game) is suspended to a predetermined number (for example, 4) as the upper limit (stored as a pop-up storage).

  For example, the start condition (common drawing start condition) of the common drawing game is the case where the number of normally reserved memories is not 0, and the variable display of the normal symbol (common drawing game) is not executed, and the big hit It may be a condition established when the gaming state is not being controlled. Even when the normal drawing start condition is satisfied immediately after the common drawing start condition is satisfied, the common drawing reserve storage may be stored although it is instantaneous.

  The common drawing reservation display 25C displays the number of holdings of the common drawing game (the number of common drawing reservation storages) in an identifiable manner. It should be noted that the number of pending game games (also referred to as a normal drawing reserve memory number) decreases each time a regular game is started (every time a normal drawing start condition is satisfied).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the logo character 26 includes a decorative material 26 </ b> A and a character case 26 </ b> B. The decorative material 26A is formed of a light transmitting material, and the item case 26B is formed of a light non-transmissive material. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the characters “FEVER” are displayed on the decorative material 26A when viewed from the front. The feature housing 26B has a box shape with an open front side, and the decorative material 26A is fitted in the opened portion. An opening through which the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 passes is formed at a substantially central position on the back surface of the character object housing 26B, and on the back lower side and lower surface back surface of the character object housing 26B, An opening through which the projection light (image) LP reflected by the reflection mirror 28 passes is formed. Further, the reflection mirror 28 is attached to the inside of the character case 26B of the logo character 26 in a fixed state. The inner side of the character object casing 26B and the back surface side of the reflection mirror 28 are white, and the reflectance is high. Since the reflection mirror 28 faces the back of the gaming machine 1, the back surface of the reflection mirror 28 faces the front of the gaming machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the projector 32 is disposed above the screen 5, and when viewed in the height direction, the reflection mirror 28 is disposed below the projector 32 and above the screen 5. Therefore, in the image display area 5X (see FIG. 3) formed on the screen 5, the distance from the projector 32 in the lower part is larger than that in the upper part. Accordingly, the light reaching the lower part of the image display area 5X reaches the image display area 5X of the screen 5 from the projector 32 through the light path longer than the light reaching the upper part of the image display area 5X. The projector 32 is disposed above the special screen 205A, and when viewed in the height direction, the reflection mirror 28 is below the projector 32 and above the special screen 205A is the screen 5 and It is similar.

  The projector 32 is disposed at a position above the screen 5 in a direction in which the projected light LP reaches the reflection mirror 28. Further, the reflection mirror 28 is disposed in a direction in which the projection light projected by the projector 32 is directed to the screen 5. The projector 32 is provided in the play space 3A, and the reflection mirror 28 is provided in the logo combination 26 attached to the game board 2 fixed to the play space 3A. Therefore, even if the game machine 1 is moved or the door frame 3B is opened and closed, the relative positional relationship between the projector 32 and the reflection mirror 28 and the relative positional relationship between the projector 32 and the screen 5 are further provided. Is maintained unchanged. Therefore, even if there is movement of the gaming machine 1 or opening and closing of the door frame 3B, the image can be projected from the projector 32 to an appropriate position on the screen 5. Further, by providing the reflection mirror 28 on the back side of the logo character 26, the reflection mirror 28 can be provided without impairing the design.

  In the image (projected image) projected from the projector 32, the deviation of the color tone caused by the projection state from the projector 32 to the image display area 5X is adjusted. A color correction filter 28F is disposed and provided on the surface of the reflection mirror 28 in order to adjust the color tone deviation caused by the projection state. The projection state is a state when the projector 32 projects an image onto the screen 5 (or the special screen 205A), and for example, a positional relationship between the projector 32 and the screen 5 (or the special screen 205A), such as a distance or an angle. , Illuminance of the image projected from the projector 32, illuminance distribution and the like. The color correction filter 28F is configured of, for example, a polarization filter. The color correction filter 28F is a color tone correction filter, and is a filter that corrects one portion of the image so as to make the contrast high (darker) with respect to the other portion. In the color correction filter 28F, three attributes of colors are projected so that the lower end vicinity portion of the image projected from the projector 32 and displayed in the image display area 5X of the screen 5 (or the special screen 205A) is more clearly visible than the other portions. , Of which, for example, the lightness and saturation are corrected.

  The projector 32 is mounted on a projector moving device 32A provided with a drive source such as a stepping motor, for example. The projector moving device 32 </ b> A includes a base and a moving member movable in the front, rear, upper, lower, left, and right with respect to the base. This moving member is provided with a ball screw mechanism (or a rack and pinion mechanism, a belt mechanism or the like) and its drive source, three sets for front and rear, upper and lower, and left and right. The drive source is, for example, a stepping motor. The stepping motor is a motor that rotates by a fixed angle each time a pulse is sent. This rotation angle is called a step angle. For example, in the case of a 5-phase stepping motor, the basic step angle is 0.72 °, and when a signal of 125 steps is input, this motor rotates 90 °. For example, regarding the stepping motor for front and rear, the moving member moves forward according to the step angle in the forward direction, and the moving member moves backward according to the step angle in the negative direction. The vertical and horizontal stepping motors are basically the same as the front and rear stepping motors. The base of the projector moving device 32A is attached to the play space 3A, and the projector 32 is attached to the moving member. Therefore, the projector 32 is movable in the vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the play space 3A. Here, the relative positions of the projector 32 with respect to the screen 5 and the relative positions of the projector 32 with respect to the screen 5 and the relative distances of the projector 32 with the screen 5 are referred to as projection attitudes. Conversely, when the projector 32 does not move, the projection attitude of the projector 32 is maintained unchanged.

  The reflection mirror 28 is attached to a mirror movement device 28A provided with a drive source such as a stepping motor, for example. The mirror moving device 28A is provided with a fixed portion suspended by the accessory casing 26B and a moving portion which moves relative to the fixed portion in the vertical and horizontal directions. The fixed part is fixed to the inside of the logo character 26, and the reflection mirror 28 is attached to the moving part. For this reason, the reflection mirror 28 is movable relative to the logo character 26 vertically and horizontally. The projector moving device 32A and the mirror moving device 28A are, for example, a cross button 31E by a worker (for example, a worker of a manufacturing company of the gaming machine 1 or a person concerned with a game arcade where the gaming machine 1 is installed). The projector 32 is movable based on an operation of the command input device 38 or the controller 210 shown in FIG. 16 described later. The projector 32 and the reflection mirror 28 may be movable based on an operation of the cross button 31E or the like by a worker or the like.

  The projector 32 is movable by the projector moving device 32A, but as shown in FIG. 13C, the projector 32 is set with a first normal position and a second normal position. When the projector 32 is in the first normal position, the screen 5 is in focus (that is, the projection distance to the screen 5 is the first focal length), and the image projected from the projector 32 is It is appropriately displayed in a state in which the screen 5 is in focus (a state in which the first focal length according to the screen 5 is met). When the projector 32 is in the second normal position, the special screen 205A is in focus (that is, the projection distance to the special screen 205A is the second focal length), and the projector 32 projects light. The image is properly displayed in a state in which the special screen 205A is in focus (a state in which the second focal distance according to the special screen 205A is met). In other words, the first normal position of the projector 32 is a position at which the projection distance to the screen 5 matches the first focal length, and the position at which the image projected from the projector 32 is appropriately displayed on the screen 5 . The second normal position of the projector 32 is a position where the projection distance to the special screen 205A matches the second focal length, and is the position where the image projected from the projector 32 is appropriately displayed on the special screen 205A. Further, the distance from the projector moving device 32A is longer on the screen 5 than on the special screen 205A. Therefore, the first normal position of the projector 32 is on the front side (closer to the reflection mirror 28) than the second normal position. In addition to the first normal position and the second normal position, an origin position is set in the projector 32. The origin position is, for example, an arbitrary position before focusing on a predetermined target, and is a position set in advance according to the specification of the projector 32, and the first focal length and the second focal length described above Are different from each other and are also positions that are the origin as a focal distance. The position of the projector 32 at the home position can be detected by the home position sensor 32B (see FIG. 8).

  The screen 5 is provided in a screen mounting hole 2A formed at the center of the game board 2 and is disposed at the back of the game board 2. The screen 5 is fixed to the back of the game board 2 and provided. Therefore, when the projector 32 does not move, the distance between the screen 5 and the projector 32 is constant. Further, when the reflection mirror 28 does not move, the distance between the screen 5 and the reflection mirror 28 is also constant. The screen 5 has a horizontally long rectangular shape, and performs variable display of decorative designs (also referred to as effect designs) and various effect displays. The special screen 205 </ b> A is disposed at a position farther from the screen 5 when viewed from the projector 32. However, the light projected from the projector 32 is reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and reaches the screen 5 or the special screen 205A. Therefore, when viewed from the irradiation side of the light emitted from the projector 32, the special screen 205A can appear in front of the screen 5.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the screen 5 includes a flat display area 5A and a stereoscopic display area 5B. The flat display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B constitute an image display area 5X (see FIG. 3). Various images are displayed in the image display area 5X. The stereoscopic display area 5B includes a central stereoscopic display area 5BC, a right stereoscopic display area 5BR, a left stereoscopic display area 5BL, an upper middle stereoscopic display area 5BUC, an upper right stereoscopic display area 5BUR, and an upper left stereoscopic display area 5BUL. The central three-dimensional display area 5BC, the right three-dimensional display area 5BR, the upper three-dimensional display area 5BUC, the upper right three-dimensional display area 5BUR, and the upper left three-dimensional display area 5BUL correspond to the projected image. It has an outer shape. For example, the central three-dimensional display area 5BC, the right three-dimensional display area 5BR, and the left three-dimensional display area 5BL all have a figure shape here. The upper middle three-dimensional display area 5BUC, the upper right three-dimensional display area 5BUR, and the upper left three-dimensional display area 5BUL all have an outer shape (pattern shape) of a decorative pattern here. The screen 5 is formed by attaching a three-dimensional object such as a figure or a pattern to a flat plate, and the position where the three-dimensional object is not attached becomes the flat display area 5A, and the position where the three-dimensional object is attached. Becomes the stereoscopic display area 5B. The screen 5 is not limited to the one formed by bonding a three-dimensional object to a flat plate, but the flat display area 5A and the three-dimensional display area 5B may be formed by shaving the projection surface of the screen 5, The flat display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be formed by molding or the like.

  Background images and the like are mainly displayed in the flat display area 5A. In the central three-dimensional display area 5BC, the right three-dimensional display area 5BR, and the left three-dimensional display area 5BL, characters (specific images to be described later) corresponding to the respective three-dimensional display areas are mainly displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main character image MC is displayed in the central three-dimensional display area 5BC, the first sub character image SC1 is displayed in the left three-dimensional display area 5BL, and the second sub character image SC2 is displayed in the right three-dimensional display area 5BR. Is displayed. When the special figure game is started, in principle, the effect is executed with each character image MC, SC1, SC2 displayed on each three-dimensional display area 5BC, 5BL, 5BR.

  Although the main character image MC, the first sub character image SC1, and the second sub character image SC corresponding to each other are displayed in the central three-dimensional display region 5BC, the left three-dimensional display region 5BL, and the right three-dimensional display region 5BR. Other images may be displayed. For example, the first sub character image SC1 or the second sub character image SC2 may be displayed in the central three-dimensional display area 5BC in place of the character to be displayed. Further, an image other than a character, for example, a background image may be displayed in the stereoscopic display area 5B, or a character image may be displayed in the flat display area 5A.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper middle three-dimensional display area 5BUC, the upper right three-dimensional display area 5BUR, and the upper left three-dimensional display area 5BUL are decorative pattern display areas 5C and 5R in which decorative patterns (specific images to be described later) are displayed. , 5 L, and variable display of decorative symbols is performed corresponding to the special figure game. The details of the decorative symbol display areas 5C, 5R, 5L will be described later.

  The image display area 5X on the screen 5 is a projection area in which an image (image) projected from the projector 32 is displayed. The image projected from the projector 32 is reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and displayed in the image display area 5X on the screen 5. An image displayed in the image display area 5X on the screen 5 is formed by an image projected by the projector 32. The image display area 5X is formed in both the flat display area 5A and the three-dimensional display area 5B of the screen 5, and effects are performed by so-called projection mapping by an image from the projector 32.

  By projecting an image on the stereoscopic display area 5B on the screen 5, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the stereoscopic display area 5B, an image that looks like a stereoscopic image fitted to a stereoscopic shape is displayed. Further, in the state where the image is not projected on the stereoscopic display area 5B, as shown in FIG. 3B, the stereoscopic shape in the stereoscopic display area 5B is a state in which visual recognition is difficult, and the player is in the stereoscopic display area 5B. It is difficult to recognize the shape.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the screen 5 is provided with a reserve display area 5H which protrudes to the front side (player side) with respect to the flat display area 5A. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the current display area 5K is also provided so as to project forward (to the player) with respect to the flat display area 5A (see FIG. 18). Further, the number-of-retentions display area 5F shown in FIG. 3 is also provided so as to project forward (to the player) with respect to the flat display area 5A. Details of the hold display area 5H, the current display area 5K, and the number-of-holds display area 5F will be described later.

  The distance between the projector 32 and the screen 5 is not uniform due to the provision of the stereoscopic display area 5B and the projecting reserved display area 5H. Specifically, with regard to the projection distance from the projector 32 to the screen 5, the stereoscopic display area 5B is closer to the planar display area 5A. For this reason, the focal point of the image projected from the projector 32 is a position corresponding to a predetermined axis in the image projected from the projector 32, for example, the surface of the stereoscopic display area 5B on the optical axis (hereinafter referred to as "stereoscopic surface equivalent position") And a position corresponding to the flat display area 5A (hereinafter referred to as "flat surface equivalent position"), for example, an intermediate position thereof. By setting the focal point between the solid surface equivalent position and the plane surface equivalent position, distortion of the image can be reduced over the entire surface of the screen 5. Also, instead of setting the focal point between the solid surface equivalent position and the planar surface equivalent position, the focus may be adjustable, or the focal point may be set between the solid surface equivalent position and the planar surface equivalent position May be adjustable.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, point-shaped markers PS1 to PS13 are drawn at a plurality of locations on the screen 5, for example. Specifically, markers PS1 to PS5 are drawn at the central part, upper upper end corners and lower lower end corners of the screen 5, and the upper middle three-dimensional display area 5BUC of the three-dimensional display area 5B on the screen 5 and the upper right three-dimensional display area Markers PS6 to PS8 are drawn in 5BUR and upper left three-dimensional display area 5BUL, marker PS9 is drawn in current display area 5K, and central three-dimensional display area 5BC, right three-dimensional display area 5BR, and left three-dimensional display area 5BL. The markers PS10 to PS12 are drawn, and the marker PS13 is drawn on the number-of-retentions display area 5F. The markers PS1 to PS13 are drawn in a color that is difficult to visually recognize with the naked eye, for example, white. When an image is projected on the screen 5, it is extremely difficult for the player to visually recognize the markers. The markers PS1 to PS13 are used when adjusting a display image to be described later. The markers PS1 to PS13 may be white portions or the like, or may be concave portions such as small holes or indentations formed on the screen 5 or convex portions such as small protrusions.

  The markers PS1 to PS13 are not limited to those drawn in a color (for example, white) which is difficult to visually recognize with the naked eye, and special light (for example, ultraviolet light) used only when adjusting a display image to be described later It may be painted with a special paint that is visible only when irradiated. In this case, in the case of being drawn white as the markers PS1 to PS13 or in the case of the concave portions or the convex portions, there is a concern that the markers PS1 to PS13 may be slightly seen during the game, but a special paint It is possible to make the markers PS1 to PS13 invisible at all in the game when it is painted.

  The projector 32 and the reflection mirror 28 are disposed above the screen 5, and an image projected from the projector 32 is reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and projected on the screen 5 from the front upper side of the screen 5. Thus, the projector 32 projects an image on the screen 5 from an oblique projection direction with respect to the display surface of the screen 5 without the optical axis of the projection light LP being orthogonal to the display surface (planar display area 5A) of the screen 5. . Since the projector 32 projects an image from an oblique projection direction, the image displayed on the screen 5 has a trapezoidal shape. The screen 5 is rectangular and does not match the area of the image projected from the screen 5 and the projector 32, and the screen 5 is wider than the image displayed on the screen 5.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3A, of the image display area 5X in the area of the flat display area 5A of the screen 5, the area formed in the lower part of the flat display area 5A is wide and wide. A region 5XW is formed, and a region formed in the upper part of the flat display region 5A is a narrow portion 5XN narrower than the wide portion 5XW. The narrow portion 5XN has a trapezoidal shape, the wide portion 5XW has a rectangular shape, and the image display area 5X has a hexagonal shape. In the following description, the shape of the image display area 5X may be called a trapezoidal shape by generalizing a hexagonal shape. Further, since the screen 5 has a rectangular shape, the left and right positions of the narrow portion 5XN become the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR in which the image projected from the projector 32 does not reach or does not display an image even if it arrives.

  The non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR correspond to areas outside the narrow portion 5XN, and are areas having a difference in width between the wide portion 5XW and the narrow portion 5XN in the image display area 5X. In other words, the difference between the width of the wide portion 5XW and the width of the narrowest portion of the narrow portions 5XN is the maximum width of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR. The sub LED 33 provided in the lower front of the inside of the play space 3A irradiates the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the irradiation light LL to emit the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR. The range which is not displayed is eliminated. Note that most of the flat display area 5A is included in the narrow portion 5XN, and a small portion is included in the wide portion 5XW. The three-dimensional display area 5B is all included in the wide portion 5XW. However, as to which of the wide portion 5XW and the narrow portion 5XN, the flat display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be included in another aspect. For example, the wide portion 5XW or the narrow portion 5XN may include the entire flat display area 5A or the entire stereoscopic display area 5B, or may include portions thereof.

  Further, peripheral members in the screen 5, specifically, the center frame 4C, nails, a windmill, etc. are formed of a non-reflective material. As a non-reflective material, it is considered to be a black-based color such as black which is a color that is hard to reflect projection light LP, a material that is hard to reflect projection light LP, such as carbon black, chromium oxide, a material with a rough surface You may use a thing.

It transmits to the display control unit 213.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the suspension display areas 5H1, 5H2, the number of reservations display area 5F, and the current display area 5K are disposed on the screen 5. Further, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, variable display of the decorative symbols is performed in correspondence to the special drawing game. Thereafter, in response to the finalized special symbol being derived and displayed as the variable display result in the special figure game, the finalized symbol (final stop symbol) is derived and displayed as the variable display result in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Be done. The decorative symbols for which variable display is performed in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are also referred to as left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol, respectively. In addition, although the variable display of identification information may be generically referred to as a variable display game, in addition to the special drawing game and the common-play game described above, variable display of decorative symbols is also included in the variable display game.

  When the variable display result in the special figure game is "big hit", a finalized decorative symbol to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Further, when the variable display result in the special view game does not become "big hit", a finalized decorative symbol different from the predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. An example of a predetermined big hit combination is a combination (for example, ("7" "7" "7") etc.) where a left symbol, a middle symbol, and a right symbol become the same symbol.

  In the suspension display areas 5H1 and 5H2 (collectively referred to as suspension display area 5H), the suspension count of the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the special figure game is displayed in a distinguishable manner. For example, in the reserve display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the number according to the number of reserve displays of the variable display of the decorative symbol in a mode in which the winning order (digestion order) for each of the first special figure reserve memory and the second special figure reserve memory is known Pending display of is displayed. Specifically, in the first hold display area 5H1, the hold displays corresponding to the first hold storage are arranged and displayed from the left according to the winning order, and in the second hold display area 5H2, the second special view hold storage The hold display corresponding to is arranged and displayed from the right according to the winning order. In addition, in the suspension display areas 5H1 and 5H2, each time the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the special view game is started, the suspension display corresponding to the variable display to be started is erased (digested) and erased. When there is another hold display other than the hold display, the display position of the other hold display is moved (shifted) to the side of the hold display (the side of the current display area 5K) where the display position is erased.

  In the number-of-holds display area 5F, similarly to the hold display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the number of holds of the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the special drawing game is displayed in a distinguishable manner. The display mode is a mode displayed by arithmetic numerals. In the display area 5K this time, a display (sometimes also referred to as a display at the time of digestion, an active display, etc.) is displayed. The display this time is what is displayed according to the variable display of the decorative symbol corresponding to the digested display that has been digested (displayed instead of the held display that is digested when the reserved display is digested). The hold display and the current display are shown by simple figures, for example, a circle.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the hold display areas 5H (5H1 and 5H2) and the current display area 5K protrude from the flat display area 5A of the screen 5 to the front side (player's side). By doing this, the player can easily view the hold display. The reserve display area 5H and the present display area 5K are also referred to as specific areas which are areas projecting forward from the flat display area 5A of the screen 5 (player side). The present display area 5K may not be provided, and the present display area 5K may not be protruded.

  In addition, a hold display LED 34 is embedded in the hold display area 5H and the current display area 5K corresponding to the respective hold numbers (hold numbers). The hold display LED 34 is configured of, for example, a full color LED capable of emitting an arbitrary color. And according to the pending | holding number of the variable display of a decorative symbol, it is displayed as a pending | holding display because each pending | holding display LED34 light-emits in a predetermined | prescribed aspect. The hold display LED 34 is provided on (inside) the screen 5 onto which an image or video is projected from the projector 32 (see FIG. 5). As described above, in this embodiment, the screen 5 on which an image or a video is projected from the projector 32 is provided with light emitting means such as the hold display LED 34. As described above, by providing the light emitting means on the screen 5 which is a projection target on which light such as an image or video is projected from the projector 32, an unprecedented effect of combining the light from the projector and the light of the light emitting means is realized. It can be executed and the interest of the game is improved.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the projecting amounts of the respective suspension display areas 5H are different from one another. In the first hold display area 5H1, a first hold display area 5H1 corresponding to hold number 1, hold number 2, hold number 3 and hold number 4 is provided from the left. The first hold display area 5H2 is provided with a second hold display area 5H2 corresponding to hold number 1, hold number 2, hold number 3 and hold number 4 from the right. The protrusion amount of each hold display area 5H increases in the order of hold number 1> hold number 2> hold number 3> hold number 4. By doing this, the protrusion amount can be sharpened in accordance with the hold number. In addition, since the amount of protrusion of the variable display execution order closer (the one with a smaller hold number) is larger, the player can easily grasp the variable display execution order. The protrusion amount may be constant regardless of the hold number. The protrusion amount of each reserve display area 5H may be constant.

  Also, the current display area 5K is larger than the hold display area 5H corresponding to the hold number 1. By doing this, it becomes easy for the player to recognize the display this time, and the interest of the game is improved.

  FIG. 18 is a side view of the screen 5, the suspension display area 5H, and the current display area 5K. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18A, the hold display area 5H and the current display area 5K project forward (to the player) with respect to the flat display area 5A. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the stereoscopic display area 5B is omitted. In this manner, the player can easily visually recognize the hold display area 5H and the current display area 5K (the hold display or the current display) by projecting the hold display area 5H and the current display area 5K to the player side.

  In addition, the area projected on the front side (player side) with respect to the flat display area 5A is not limited to two places (when the hold display area 5H is one unit) as in this embodiment, but one place. It may be present, or may be three or more. In this case, as shown in FIG. 18B, for example, the first hold display area 5H1 may be provided also in the lower part of the screen 5, and the second hold display area 5H2 may be provided also in the upper part of the screen 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 18C, at least a part of the projected area may be projected in a direction (for example, the upper side or the like) other than the front side (player side).

  Although the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R and the number-of-holds display area 5F are all displayed in the stereoscopic display area 5B, they may be displayed in the flat display area 5A. In this case, the decorative symbol displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R and the number-of-holds display displayed in the number-of-holds display area 5F are both displayed in the planar flat display area 5A. Become.

  In the gaming machine 1, various effects are executable. For example, in the gaming machine 1, a reach effect performed in a state (reach state) in which a part matches with a predetermined jackpot combination is performed, for example, between the tiles in which the determined decoration symbol is derived and displayed . The state in which the jackpot combination and the part are in agreement is, for example, a state where the same left symbol and right symbol are derived and displayed, and the middle symbol is still variably displayed.

The random value MR5 is a random value used to determine the variation pattern as any one of a plurality of types prepared in advance.

  The ROM 101 stores a program to be executed by the CPU 103. Further, the ROM 101 stores data constituting various tables used for the CPU 103 to make various determinations (decisions). The RAM 102 corresponds to the hold number indicating the order of winning (for example, the order of winnings) in such a manner that the information on the variable display (special drawing reserve storage, common drawing reserve memory) not yet started as reserve information is known Remember). In particular, the special figure reservation storage may be numerical data (or information indicating a determination (determination) result based on the numerical data) indicating the value of random number value MR1 or the like at the time of winning. Specifically, the common drawing reserve storage may be numerical value data (or information indicating a determination (determination) result by the numerical value data) indicating the value of the random number MR4 at the time of winning. In addition, the RAM 102 stores information (for example, various flags and the like) indicating the current gaming state (for example, low probability state, high probability state, low base state, high base state, etc.). The RAM 102 may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power supply circuit provided on the power supply substrate 16.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board. The effect control board 12 has a function of inputting a effect control command, a function of judging (determining) effects in the video projection of the projector 32, etc., and a function of adjusting the display position of the image projected from the projector 32 onto the screen 5. .

Further, the effect control CPU 120 performs various determinations (determinations) by executing the program read from the ROM 121.

  The ROM 121 stores a program executed by the CPU 120 for effect control. Further, the ROM 121 stores data constituting various tables used for the CPU 120 for effect control to make various determinations (decisions). The RAM 122 displays information (information indicated by a variable category designation command, a symbol designation command, etc.) regarding the variable display not yet started as hold information in a mode that shows the winning order (digestion order) (for example, showing the winning order) Store in association with the buffer number). In addition, the RAM 122 stores the determination result by the effect control CPU 120 (for example, the determination content of the display mode such as the suspension display). In addition, the RAM 122 may store information (for example, various flags and the like) indicating the current gaming state (for example, a low probability state, a high probability state, a low base state, a high base state, etc.).

  The display control unit 123 in the effect control board 12 includes a projector control unit 260 and a sub LED control unit 270 as shown in FIG. The projector control unit 260 also includes an image data ROM 261, a VDP (video display processor) 262, and an SDRAM 263. The image data ROM 261 is a ROM for storing original image data in advance. The original image data includes character image data and moving image data, and more specifically, image data of a person, characters, figures, symbols, and the like (including decorative patterns), and background images. Further, the original image data includes image data of a predetermined image which is a white non-pattern single color. The predetermined image is an image projected from the projector 32 when changing the focus when projecting the image from the screen 5 to the special screen 205A. The predetermined image may be an image other than a white non-pattern single color. For example, the image may be a non-white or non-chromatic non-pattern single-color image, or an image with a simple pattern such as simple shapes arranged monotonously. In addition, the image may be an image in which the radiation spreads from one or more points. Also, it may be a sand storm (white noise, sand storm), a lattice pattern, a dot pattern, or the like.

  The original image data also includes image data of an adjustment image (see FIG. 10A) for adjusting the display position of the image projected from the projector 32 onto the screen 5. The adjustment image is a transparent image having markers PG1 to PG13 for the adjustment image corresponding to the markers PS1 to PS13 of the screen 5, as shown in FIG. 10A. The marker PG1 for the adjustment image has a hollow circular shape as shown in FIGS. 14 (A) to (C), and is also transparent within the circle (also for the markers PG2 to PG13 for the adjustment image) Like the marker PG1 for the adjustment image, it has a hollow circular shape, and the inside of the circular is also transparent). As the “transparent image” referred to here, when the adjustment image is projected on the screen 5, the transparency of the adjustment image is secured to such an extent that the markers PS1 to PS13 of the screen 5 can be visually recognized through the adjustment image. The transparency of the adjusted image may be set arbitrarily, as long as the image is transparent (transparent image, semi-transparent image, etc.). The adjustment image may be a transparent image including at least markers PG1 to PG13 for the adjustment image, and an image having transparency composed only of the markers PG1 to PG13 for the adjustment image, or displayed during the game A transparent image including an adjustment-only image not to be adjusted and markers PG1 to PG13 for adjustment image, or at least a part of a display image projected onto screen 5 during a game and markers PG1 to PG13 for adjustment image It may be a translucent image or the like. The adjustment image in this embodiment is, for example, a transparent image composed of only markers PG1 to PG13 for the adjustment image.

  The VDP 262 reads the original image data stored in the image data ROM 261, and generates display image data corresponding to the display image projected on the projector 32 from the original image data. The effect control CPU 120 outputs to the VDP 262 a command for reading out necessary original image data from the image data ROM 261 in which various image data are stored according to the received effect control command. The VDP 262 reads the original image data from the image data ROM 261 in response to an instruction of the CPU 120 for effect control. Then, the VDP 262 generates display image data based on the read original image data.

  The VDP 262 is an integrated circuit on which a system register 202, an attribute register 203, a drawing control unit 206, an image bus interface 204, a data transfer control unit 211, a projector display control unit 213, an output unit 214 and the like are mounted. The system register 202 stores various settings of the VDP 262 and the like. The attribute register 203 stores attributes (parameters used when drawing a character, and data for specifying the drawing order of the character, the number of colors, the scaling ratio, the pallet number, the coordinates, and the like). The drawing control unit 206 performs drawing control of an image in a drawing area, which will be described later, of the frame buffer area of the SDRAM 263. The data transfer control unit 211 performs control to transfer the original image data stored in the image data ROM 261 to the frame buffer area.

  The projector display control unit 213 outputs video signals (R (red), G (green), B (blue)) signals and a synchronization signal for displaying display image data stored in the frame buffer area. In addition, the projector display control unit 213 determines, based on the origin position signal transmitted from the sensors 205SX, whether the screen 5 to which the image projected from the projector 32 is focused is the screen 5 or the special screen 205A. The projector display control unit 213 can project an image by focusing according to each of the screen 5 and the special screen 205A. The output unit 214 outputs the video signal output from the projector display control unit 213 to the projector 32.

  A system bus and an image bus are provided inside the VDP 262, and the system bus and the image bus are connected to the CPU 120 for effect control (see FIG. 7) via the CPU interface 201, and the image bus is an image bus. It is connected to the image data ROM 261 via the interface 204. A system register 202 is connected to the system bus, and an attribute register 203 is connected to the image bus, so that the effect control CPU 120 can access the system register 202 and the attribute register 203.

  A drawing control unit 206, a data transfer control unit 211, and a projector display control unit 213 are connected to the system bus, and can access the system register 202. Further, the drawing control unit 206 and the data transfer control unit 211 are connected to the image bus, and can access the image data ROM 261 and the attribute register 203.

  Further, a VRAM bus is provided inside the VDP 262, and the VRAM bus is connected to the SDRAM 263 via a VRAM bus interface 209. A drawing control unit 206, a data transfer control unit 211, and a projector display control unit 213 are connected to the VRAM bus, and the frame buffer area of the SDRAM 263 can be accessed via the VRAM bus.

  The system register 202 includes a system control register for storing instructions such as initial setting, drawing, data transfer, an interrupt control register for storing an output instruction of an interrupt signal described later, a drawing area in a frame buffer area, and pallet data. A drawing register storing an arrangement area and the like, an address of a transfer source at the time of data transfer, a data transfer register storing an address of a transfer destination and the like, a display register storing a frame buffer area and the like are allocated.

  The CPU interface 201 outputs a V blank interrupt signal to the CPU for effect control 120 every time V blank (period for updating the image) starts, and outputs various other interrupt signals to the CPU for effect control 120 Do. The projector display control unit 213 performs display processing of outputting image data of a frame buffer area designated by the display register as a video signal.

  In the frame buffer area of the SDRAM 263, a pallet area in which pallet data is arranged, a character buffer in which original image data of a required character is read from the image data ROM 261 and stored, and the drawing control unit 206 draws an image. An image buffer for temporarily storing palette data (data in which a display color of a character is defined) when the image is drawn, and for temporarily storing display image data when the drawing control unit 206 draws an image. Each area such as is assigned.

  Further, in the frame buffer area, a drawing area for storing display image data of an image projected from the projector 32 and displayed on the screen 5 is allocated. As shown in FIG. 9A, a drawing area 262R and a real drawing area 262A are allocated to the frame buffer area. The real drawing area 262A is allocated to a part of the drawing area 262R. When the projector 32 projects an image drawn in the drawing area 262R onto the screen 5 when the projector 32 is at the first normal position, the image is projected onto the projectable area 32R shown in FIG. When the image drawn in the actual drawing area 262A is projected on the screen 5 from the projector 32, the image is projected on the image display area 5X shown in FIG. The actual drawing area 262A is the first data storage area of the present invention, and the area excluding the actual drawing area 262A from the drawing area 262R is the second data storage area of the present invention. Display image data generated by converting the original image data can be stored over the drawing area 262R including the second data storage area. The VDP 262 stores the generated display image data in the drawing area 262R of the SDRAM 263.

  The actual drawing area 262A is divided into polygons, and an attribute is set for each polygon to form an image in the image area. In the actual drawing area 262A, a predetermined area, for example, an area where an image displayed in the stereoscopic display area 5B is drawn, can be adjusted as a polygon different from other areas. As the actual drawing area 262A is designated by the display register, the image drawn and stored in the actual drawing area 262A is projected from the projector 32. The image projected from the projector 32 is displayed on the screen 5. The image drawn in the actual drawing area 262A and the display image displayed in the display area can be adjusted by converting them.

  The effect control CPU 120 can access the system register 202 and the attribute register 203 through the CPU interface 201, and executes the execution instruction to the system register 202 and the attribute register 203 according to the process data that defines the projection pattern of the projector 32. And indirectly control VDP 262 by storing necessary data.

  In the process data, setting contents that the effect control CPU 120 performs on the system register 202 and the attribute register 203 for each V blank are defined. The setting contents of the system register 202 include drawing, data transfer instruction, image data and pallet data for data transfer, and attribute setting. The setting contents of the attribute register 203 are attributes, that is, parameters themselves used when drawing a character.

  Further, in the process data, an attribute is set such that the image is updated every V blank. Therefore, the image is updated for each V blank.

  Here, the drawing control will be briefly described. In order for the drawing control unit 206 to perform drawing processing, original image data such as a character necessary for drawing needs to be arranged in the frame buffer area. For this reason, it is necessary to arrange original image data such as a character as source data of display image data in the frame buffer area.

  Therefore, when performing various effects, the effect control CPU 120 issues a transfer instruction to transfer the original image data of all the characters necessary for the effect execution from the image data ROM 261 to the frame buffer area. In response to this transfer instruction, the original image data of all the characters necessary to execute the rendering is arranged in the frame buffer area by the data transfer control unit 211. When rendering is performed, the same character is often used repeatedly for rendering, but the data stored in the image data ROM 261 is compressed, and it takes time to read it, so By arranging the original image data of all necessary characters in the frame buffer area at the initial stage of execution, the time required for drawing can be reduced compared to reading data from the image data ROM 261 for each frame. It will be. In addition, when the effect control CPU 120 executes effects, a transfer instruction to transfer the original image data of all the characters necessary for the moving image reproduction from the image data ROM 261 to the frame buffer area is performed. In each case, a transfer instruction for the original image data of the character necessary for the image processing may be performed.

  Also, in order for the drawing control unit 206 to perform drawing processing, an attribute needs to be set in the attribute register 203. Since the attribute is different for each V blank, an attribute according to the process data is stored in the attribute register 203 for each V blank.

  Then, after the presentation control is started, the presentation control CPU 120 sets an attribute in the attribute register 203 for each V blank, and then instructs execution of reading of the attribute. Accordingly, the drawing control unit 206 reads the attribute of the attribute register 203, and instructs the output of the read end interrupt signal when the reading is completed. In response to this, the effect control CPU 120 instructs to execute drawing, and the drawing control unit 206 draws display image data of the image projected on the screen 5 by the projector 32 according to the read attribute.

  After drawing the display image data, the projector display control unit 213 of the effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project an image according to the display image data on the main screen 5 or the special screen 205A. At this time, the projector display control unit 213 controls the projector moving device 32A to adjust the position of the projector 32 depending on whether the screen on which an image is displayed is the main screen 5 or the special screen 205A. When the screen on which the image is displayed is the main screen 5, the projector display control unit 213 controls the projector moving device 32A such that the projector 32 is disposed at the first normal position. Further, when the screen on which an image is displayed is the special screen 205A, the projector display control unit 213 controls the projector moving device 32A so that the projector 32 is disposed at the second normal position.

  For example, as an example of moving the projector 32 to the first normal position shown in FIG. 13C, the projector 32 may be once returned to the home position and then moved to the first normal position. The projector display control unit 213 determines whether the projector 32 is positioned at the origin position based on the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B (see FIG. 8). If the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is on, control to advance to the first positive position described below is executed. On the other hand, if the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is off, the projector 32 is not at the origin position, and the projector display control unit 213 controls the projector moving device 32A to return the projector 32 to the origin position. When the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is turned on (that is, when the projector 32 is positioned at the origin position), the movement of the projector 32 is stopped. Subsequently, the projector display control unit 213 performs a first number of pulse signals (a number corresponding to a step angle in a positive direction from the origin position to the first positive position) for advancing the projector 32 from the origin position to the first positive position. The pulse signal is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A moves the projector 32 from the home position to the first positive position based on the input first number of pulse signals.

  Further, as an example of moving the projector 32 to the second normal position shown in FIG. 13C, the projector 32 may be once returned to the home position and then moved to the second normal position. The projector display control unit 213 determines whether the projector 32 is positioned at the origin position based on the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B (see FIG. 8). If the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is on, control to advance to the second normal position described below is executed. On the other hand, if the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is off, the projector 32 is not at the origin position, and the projector display control unit 213 controls the projector moving device 32A to return the projector 32 to the origin position. When the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is turned on (that is, when the projector 32 is positioned at the origin position), the movement of the projector 32 is stopped. Subsequently, the projector display control unit 213 causes the second number of pulse signals for advancing the projector 32 from the origin position to the second normal position (the number of step signals corresponding to the step angle in the positive direction from the origin position to the second positive position). The pulse signal is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A moves the projector 32 from the home position to the second positive position based on the input second number of pulse signals.

  On the other hand, the projector 32 may be moved from the first normal position to the second normal position without returning the projector 32 to the home position. The projector display control unit 213 generates a third number of pulse signals which is the number obtained by subtracting the first number from the second number, that is, the third number of pulses for moving the projector 32 from the first positive position to the second positive position A signal (a number of pulse signals corresponding to negative step angles from the first positive position to the second positive position) is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A directly moves the projector 32 from the first positive position to the second positive position based on the input third number of pulse signals.

  Conversely, the projector 32 may be moved from the second normal position to the first normal position without returning the projector 32 to the home position. The projector display control unit 213 generates a fourth pulse signal which is the number obtained by subtracting the second number from the first number, that is, the fourth number of pulses for moving the projector 32 from the second positive position to the first positive position. A signal (a number of pulse signals corresponding to the positive step angle from the second positive position to the first positive position) is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A directly moves the projector 32 from the second positive position to the first positive position based on the input fourth pulse signal.

  The effect control CPU 120 stores step angle number information on the first normal position and the second normal position in the position control data storage area. As the step angle number information, for example, a first number of pulse signals for advancing the projector 32 from the origin position to the first positive position (a number of step signals corresponding to a positive direction step angle from the origin position to the first positive position) First information indicating a pulse signal), and a second number of pulse signals for advancing the projector 32 from the origin position to the second positive position (number of pulses corresponding to a positive step angle from the origin position to the second positive position) Signal indicating the signal), a third number of pulse signals for moving the projector 32 from the first positive position to the second positive position (corresponding to a step angle in the negative direction from the first positive position to the second positive position) Information indicating the number of pulse signals) and a fourth number of pulse signals for moving the projector 32 from the second positive position to the first positive position (positive direction from the second positive position to the first positive position) Equivalent to step angle And the like fourth information indicating the number of the pulse signals) that.

  Referring back to FIG. 8, the sub LED control unit 270 controls lighting and blinking of the sub LED 33 according to various effects such as variable display of a decorative symbol based on a command from the effect control CPU 120, control data, and the like. Do. In addition, the sub LED control unit 270 lights and blinks the hold display LED 34 according to various effects such as the effect by the hold display and the display mode of the current display based on the command from the effect control CPU 120 and the control data.

The lifting and lowering control of the lifting and lowering motor 205M causes the special screen 205A (see FIGS. 2 and 4) to appear and be stored.

  The power supply substrate 16 is installed independently of each control substrate such as the main substrate 11, the effect control substrate 12, the payout control substrate, etc., and generates a voltage used by each control substrate and mechanical component in the gaming machine 1. For example, the power supply substrate 16 generates AC 24 V, VLP (DC +24 V), VSL (DC +30 V), VDD (DC +12 V), VCC (DC +5 V) and VBB (DC +5 V). A backup power supply circuit and a clear switch may be mounted on the power supply substrate 16. The backup power supply circuit may include, for example, a capacitor charged from a power supply line of VDD (DC +5 V).

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the video projected from the projector 32 is displayed on the screen 5 or the special screen 205A (the video may be projected simultaneously on the screen 5 and the special screen 205A). The presentation is performed.

In addition, reach production is executed between the eyebrows where the fixed decoration symbol is derived and displayed after the variable display is started, or the big hit effect in the big hit game which is shifted after the big hit symbol is derived and displayed as a special symbol is executed To These effects are displayed by projecting the image projected from the projector 32 on the screen 5.

  The image projected from the projector 32 first reaches a reflection mirror 28 disposed inside the logo feature 26. In the reflection mirror 28, the projected image is reflected toward the screen 5. On the screen 5, the projected image is projected on the flat display area 5A or the stereoscopic display area 5B, and various effects are performed.

  Among these, when an image is projected on the stereoscopic display area 5B, an effect by so-called stereoscopic image display formed by combining the stereoscopic shape in the stereoscopic display area 5B and the projected image is executed. By performing the effect by such a stereoscopic image display, it is possible to perform an effect that enhances the interest than the effect using a planar image. In particular, since the screen is three-dimensional, the three-dimensional shape can be expressed more realistically than when so-called 3D display is performed on a flat screen, so that the interest is enhanced more than the effect using a flat image. Can be performed.

  Further, in the flat display area 5A, effects in image display by the video projected from the projector 32 are executed. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR to which the image projected from the projector 32 does not reach are generated in the flat display area 5A of the screen 5 due to the nature of the projector 32 and the like.

  In such non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, the irradiation light emitted from the sub LED 33 is shown. As described above, by irradiating the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the irradiation light of the sub LED 33, effects can be suitably performed although there is an area where the projector 32 can not project an image. In the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, the image of the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR may be complemented by the irradiation light of the sub LED 33, in addition to a mode in which the irradiation light from the sub LED 33 is simply irradiated.

  Furthermore, the decorative symbol is displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R, the holding display is displayed in the holding display areas 5H1 and 5H2, the holding number display is displayed in the holding number display area 5F, and the current display is displayed in the current display area 5K. . These decorative symbols, hold display, number-of-holds display, and images of the current display (hereinafter referred to as "specific information image") include information required to be surely transmitted to the player on the progress of the game. By displaying such a specific information image in the stereoscopic display area 5B or the like, the specific information image can be easily viewed. Note that such a specific information image may be displayed on the planar flat display area 5A, and information included in the specific information image can be provided in a flat display.

  Note that the specific information image may include an image of other information than the above image. For example, it may include an image of a volume adjustment display for guiding volume adjustment, an image of a light amount adjustment display for guiding light amount adjustment, an image of a small symbol on which an ornamental pattern is displayed small, and the like. In the image display area 5X in the flat display area 5A, the specific information image is displayed including all of the image by the video projected from the projector 32. The specific information image may be displayed in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR outside the image display area 5X in the flat display area 5A instead of the display mode of such an image. However, since it is difficult to display an image with the sub LED 33, in this case, in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, it is possible to display the image by a projector other than the projector 32 and a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. It becomes suitable.

  In addition, all of the specific information image is displayed in the stereoscopic display area 5B. In particular, since the decorative design is displayed in large characters, the whole (or a part of it) may be displayed in the stereoscopic display area 5B. In addition, although there is little involvement in the progress of the game, the flat display area is also for a complete display request image which is an image that causes a problem due to disorder of image display, such as an image for which a complete display such as portraits and characters It may be displayed on 5A and not displayed on the stereoscopic display area 5B. The specific image includes a specific information image and a complete display request image. Further, although various effects are performed in the flat display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B, these effects may be performed only in the flat display area 5A or may be performed only in the stereoscopic display area 5B. Good. The flat display area 5A is formed above the screen 5 and the three-dimensional display area 5B is formed below the screen 5, but may be formed at other positions. For example, the flat display area 5A may be disposed below and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be disposed above, the flat display area 5A may be disposed on the right or left, and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be disposed on the opposite left or right. It may be Alternatively, the flat display area 5A may be formed at the center and the stereoscopic display area 5B may be formed to surround the flat display area 5A, or the stereoscopic display area 5B may be formed at the center to surround the solid display area 5B. Alternatively, the flat display area 5A may be formed.

  Further, a part of the image projected from the projector 32 to the screen 5 has a trapezoidal shape. In the present embodiment, since the screen 5 is rectangular, it can be considered to perform so-called keystone correction in which the long side of the trapezoid of the image projected onto the screen 5 is matched with the short side. However, due to limitations such as the distance relationship between the screen 5 and the projector 32 for performing keystone correction, the image can not be corrected to a rectangle even by the keystone correction, and the image of the projector 32 can not be displayed at the upper left and right positions of the keystone. Projection areas 5NL and 5NR are generated. In the present embodiment, by irradiating the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR with the irradiation light of the sub LED 33, the entire screen 5 having a rectangular shape is irradiated with light, so that the player is informed that the screen 5 is rectangular. It can be made to recognize. Further, since the image can be displayed on the entire area of the horizontally long rectangular screen 5, even if there is an area where the projector can not project, effects can be suitably performed. Therefore, the decline in interest can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub LED 33 is disposed in the lower front of the inside of the play space 3A, and the sub LED 33 is disposed on the lower front surface of the screen 5 as a relative positional relationship with the screen 5. The arrangement position of the sub LED 33 may be another position, for example, the upper front surface of the screen 5 or the right front surface or the left front surface.

  Further, the images displayed in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR may be formed by a display device other than the sub LED 33. For example, in place of the sub LED 33, another sub projector different from the projector 32 may be used, or a liquid crystal display device is disposed in the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR of the screen 5 May be In addition, another display device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display or an EL display may be used.

  Although the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are formed in the plane area, a three-dimensional object such as an accessory may be provided in the non-projection area and the three-dimensional object may be made to emit light by irradiation with the sub LED. Alternatively, the three-dimensional object may be made of a light transmitting material, and the sub LED or the like may be disposed on the back side of the three-dimensional object to cause the three-dimensional object to emit light.

  Further, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 is projected in a range wider than the area of the reflection mirror 28. For this reason, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 becomes light which illuminates the decorative material 26A in the logo character 26 in addition to the image reflected by the reflection mirror 28 and projected on the screen 5. Since the decoration material 26A is made of a light transmitting material, the light projected from the projector 32 is transmitted to be decorated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the projection light LP projected on the reflection mirror 28 is the back surface of the decoration 26A of the logo character 26 and the inner surface of the character case 26B and the back surface of the reflection mirror 28. Diffusely reflected between. The diffuse reflection of the light can increase the brightness of the light passing through the decorative material 26A. Furthermore, the inner side surface of the feature case 26B and the back surface of the reflection mirror 28 are white, and the light reflectance is high. Therefore, the amount of light irregularly reflected between the inner surface of the logo character 26 and the back surface of the reflection mirror 28 increases, and the brightness of the light passing through the decorative material 26A can be further enhanced.

  In addition, in order to increase the brightness of light passing through the decorative material 26A, the amount of absorption of light is reduced between the inner side surface of the logo character 26 and the back surface of the character case 26B in the reflection mirror 28, and the amount of reflection is large. It may be Specifically, in addition to the white color as described above, the character object casing 26B may be formed of a material having a high light reflectance, or a layer formed of a material having a high light reflectance is formed. It is also good.

  Further, depending on the display of the screen 5 and the contents of the effect using the logo character 26, the projection range of the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 is limited to only the inside of the reflection mirror 28 or the range of the reflection mirror 28. , And the projection light LP may reach the inside of the logo feature 26. For example, when an effect with a high hit probability is not performed, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 is limited to the inside of the reflection mirror 28 and the decoration by the projection light LP transmitting the logo feature 26 is not performed. When an effect with a high hit probability is executed, the projection light LP projected from the projector 32 may be made wider than the reflection mirror 28, and decoration may be performed by transmitting the logo light 26 through the logo character 26. . When the logo character 26 is to be decorated by transmitting the projection light LP, various decorations can be easily performed by the projection light LP projected from the projector 32.

  In addition, the projector 32 is disposed relatively upward as viewed from the screen 5, but may be disposed downward as viewed from the screen 5 or may be disposed rightward or leftward. When the projector 32 is disposed relatively downward as viewed from the screen 5, for example, the reflection mirror 28 is disposed on the back side of the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, or the special variable winning ball device 7. May be When the projector 32 is disposed on the right or left as viewed from the screen 5, the reflection mirror 28 may be disposed on the back side of the decorative structure on the right or left of the screen 5.

  Further, when projecting an image from the projector 32 to the screen 5, it is preferable to secure a certain distance between the screen 5 and the projector 32. Therefore, for example, the projector 32 is preferably disposed on the back side of the game board 2. However, on the back side of the gaming machine 1, generally, control boards such as a main board 11, a presentation control board 12, a power board 16, a payout control board, etc. for executing control in the gaming machine 1 are provided. Since these control boards are provided, it becomes difficult to secure a space for arranging the projector 32 on the back side of the game board 2.

  In this regard, in the above-described gaming machine 1, the power supply substrate 16 is provided on the back surface side of the decorative structure 27. As a result, it is not necessary to provide the power supply substrate 16 on the back side of the game board 2, and a space for disposing the projector 32 can be easily secured. Therefore, the distance between the screen and the projector can be secured. Further, since the power supply substrate 16 is disposed on the back of the decorative structure 27 which is the front of the gaming board 2, it is possible to avoid such an exposure that the player can visually recognize.

  In addition, the projector 32 has a relatively large amount of heat associated with its use. Further, the heat radiation amount of the power supply substrate 16 among the control substrates is also larger than that of the other control substrates. By separately arranging the projector 32 and the power supply substrate 16 having the large amount of heat radiation on the back and front of the game board 2, the amount of heat radiation can be dispersed.

  In the above embodiment, among the control boards, the power supply board 16 is disposed on the front side of the game board 2. However, other control boards, for example, the effect control board 12, the voice control board 13 and the lamp control board 14 May be arranged on the front side of the game board 2. Further, the main substrate 11 and the payout control substrate may be arranged on the front side of the game board 2. However, since the back side is more difficult to tamper with the gaming machine 1 installed on the game island than the front side of the game board 2, it is involved in the control of the number of balls paid out as a security measure. It is desirable to arrange the substrate to be used, for example, the main substrate 11 and the payout control substrate, on the back side of the game board 2.

  In addition, even if the power for the projector is turned on (turned on), the irradiation of the irradiation light by the sub LED 33 can be suppressed during a short preparation time, for example, until projection light from the projector 32 can be projected Good. The warm-up operation of the projector 32 is required until the projector 32 can project when the power is turned on, and while the warm-up operation is being performed, the proper projection control from the projector 32 can not be performed. is there. When irradiation light is irradiated from the sub LED 33 in a state where the projection light from the projector 32 can not be projected, only the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR in the screen 5 become bright, which may cause discomfort. In this point, after turning on the power supply, by suppressing the irradiation of the irradiation light from the sub LED 33 during the preparation time, the discomfort due to only the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR in the screen 5 becoming bright Can be made smaller. In addition, as a mode which suppresses irradiation of the irradiation light from sub LED33, irradiation of irradiation light may be stopped or interrupted, and you may make it reduce the light quantity of irradiation light.

  In addition, a lens may be provided on the light path of projection light projected from the projector 32 such as each opening between the projector 32 and the screen 5. By providing a lens on the light path of the projection light projected from the projector 32, the size of the image projected from the projector 32 can be adjusted. Alternatively, a fisheye lens may be used as a lens provided on the optical path of the projection light projected from the projector 32. By using a fisheye lens, a large image can be displayed.

  In addition, while the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are less noticeable than the image display area 5X in irradiating light to the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR, the screen 5 as a whole is not trapezoidal but rectangular. It is possible to devise to give the player an impressive impression. Specifically, the image display area 5X and the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are formed of different materials, and the material used for the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR is more than the material used for the image display area 5X The reflectance may be lowered by darkening or roughening the surface. When the image display area 5X and the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR are integrally formed, the non-projection areas 5NL and 5NR may be blacked out or subjected to surface treatment to roughen the surface, thereby causing reflection. The rate may be lower.

  If the positional relationship between the projector 32 and the screen 5 and the special screen 205A is deviated, an image projected from the projector 32 may not be projected to an appropriate position of the screen 5 and the special screen 205A. Therefore, an adjustment operation is performed to adjust the images displayed on the screen 5 and the special screen 205A by adjusting the projection attitude of the projector 32, the display image data stored in the SDRAM 263, and the like. Adjustment work can be performed before shipment of the gaming machine 1 or after installing the gaming machine 1 in the game arcade, and when time passes and the position between the projector 32 and the screen 5 or the special screen 205A shifts, etc. is there. For example, if the gaming machine 1 has been installed in the game arcade, the adjustment mode can be set by a worker or the like performing a specific operation (for example, pressing the push button 31B when the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on). . Hereinafter, adjustment of the display image will be described by taking the adjustment image 45 displayed on the screen 5 as an example. The adjustment of the display image displayed on the special screen 205A can be performed in the same manner.

  FIG. 10 is a view showing an adjustment image displayed on the screen when the display image is adjusted and the screen. In the gaming machine 1, although the image display area 5X has a trapezoidal shape, the image display area 5X will be described as being rectangular in order to facilitate the description. When adjusting the display image, in the drawing area 262R (see FIG. 9A) allocated to the SDRAM 263 (see FIG. 8), the size of the display image is adjusted by performing vertex deformation on the display image data. . Further, the screen 5 has an upper area (first area) where the projection distance from the projector 32 is equal to or less than the first distance, and a lower area (second area) where the projection distance from the projector 32 is larger than the first distance. In other words, as shown in FIG. 10A, the screen 5 is positioned above the X-direction center line SCL of the screen 5 that coincides with the X-direction center line GCL that divides the adjustment image 45 in the vertical direction. It has an upper area (first area) and a lower area (second area) located below the center line SCL.

  In order to adjust the size of the display image, an image based on the display image data stored in the drawing area 262R from the projector 32 shown in FIG. 2 to the screen 5 is displayed in the image display area 5X shown in FIG. Project A projectable area 32R wider than the image display area 5X is set on the screen 5, and an image based on display image data stored in the drawing area 262R is, for example, projected inside the projectable area 32R and displayed Be done.

  In the adjustment of the display image, predetermined adjustment image data is stored in the drawing area 262R, and the adjustment image based on the adjustment image data is projected on the screen 5. When the adjustment image is projected onto the screen 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the adjustment image 45 is displayed inside the projectable area 32R. The adjustment image 45 includes a character image 45A and a frame image 45B. Here, the worker visually checks the degree of blur of the characters displayed inside the projectable area 32R to perform focus adjustment.

  Focus adjustment is performed by adjusting the distance from the projector 32 (see FIG. 2) to the screen 5. The adjustment of the distance from the projector 32 to the screen 5 is performed by moving the projector 32 with the projector moving device 32A. For example, the projector 32 is movable in the near direction 32XN (see FIG. 12) which is a direction approaching the screen 5 or in the depth direction 32XF (see FIG. 12) a direction away from the screen 5. Is positioned at the first normal position shown in FIG. 13C (that is, when the distance from the projector 32 to the screen 5 becomes the first focal length), the adjusted image 45 is focused on the screen 5. Further, when the projector 32 is positioned at the second normal position shown in FIG. 13C (that is, when the distance from the projector 32 to the special screen 205A becomes the second focal length), the adjusted image 45 is focused on the special screen 205A. It will be For example, when the first normal position or the second normal position is changed (when the push button 31B is pressed in the state of being changed to the new first normal position or the second normal position), the above-described The step angle number information (corresponding information among the first to fourth information) is updated and stored in the position control data storage area. When the projector 32 has a focus adjustment function, the focus adjustment may be performed by the focus adjustment function.

  When the above-described focus adjustment is completed, the adjustment of the display image, that is, the alignment adjustment (calibration) of the adjustment image 45 on the screen 5 can be performed as shown in FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16A, the gaming machine 1 has an automatic adjustment device 42 capable of adjusting the display image displayed on the screen 5 by the worker or the like operating the cross button 31E. Have. First, as shown in FIG. 11A, the adjustment image 45 is displayed in green, and the marker PG1 at the center of the adjustment image 45 is displayed. The effect control board 12 (PCU for effect control 120) controls the display control unit 123 to move the projector 32 by the projector moving device 32A based on the operation of the cross button 31E by the operator, as shown in FIG. The adjusted image 45 is aligned with the screen 5 as shown in FIG. In short, according to the operation of the cross button 31E by the worker, the projector 32 is moved by the projector moving device 32A as shown in FIG. 12, and the adjustment image 45 is moved as shown in FIG.

  For example, in the movement adjustment mode (see FIG. 11A) of the adjustment image 45 in the X and Y directions, when the operator presses (operates) the left button BL of the cross button 31E shown in FIG. Thus, the projector 32 is moved in the left direction 32YL, and as shown in FIG. 13A, the adjustment image 45 is moved in the left direction 32PL. On the other hand, when the worker presses (operates) the right button BR of the cross button 31E shown in FIG. 1, the projector 32 is moved in the right direction 32YR, and the adjustment image 45 is moved in the right direction 32PR.

  Further, in the movement adjustment mode (see FIG. 11A) of the adjustment image 45 in the X direction (left and right direction) and the Y direction (vertical direction), the operator presses the upper button BU of the cross button 31E shown in FIG. (Operation), as shown in FIG. 12, the projector 32 is moved upward 32ZU, and as shown in FIG. 13B, the adjustment image 45 is moved upward 32PU. On the other hand, when the worker presses (operates) the lower button BD of the cross button 31E shown in FIG. 1, the projector 32 is moved in the downward direction 32ZD as shown in FIG. 12, and as shown in FIG. The adjusted image 45 moves in the downward direction 32 PD.

  Further, rotation of the display image is performed by redrawing the display image data stored in the drawing area 262R. When the operator presses the right button BR of the cross button 31E shown in FIG. 1 (operation) in the rotation adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 (see FIG. 11B), the display image data stored in the drawing area 262R is a clock. The image is rotated in the clockwise direction, and the projected image is rotated in the clockwise direction 32XM1, as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13D, the adjustment image 45 rotates in the clockwise direction 32PM1. On the other hand, when the worker presses (operates) the left button BL of the cross button 31E shown in FIG. 1, the display image data stored in the drawing area 262R is rotated counterclockwise, and the projected image is counterclockwise. It is rotated in the direction 32XM2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13D, the adjustment image 45 rotates in the counterclockwise direction 32PM2.

  In this embodiment, the reflection mirror 28 is fixed, and the projector 32 is moved based on the operation of the cross button 31E by the operator to adjust the display image. However, as the projector 32 moves, the mirror movement is performed. The position adjustment of the reflection mirror 28 may also be performed by the device 28A (FIG. 2). The position adjustment of the reflection mirror 28 is performed such that the reflection mirror 28 is disposed at a position where the image projected from the projector 32 reaches the screen 5 along with the position adjustment of the projector 32.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, in the movement adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 in the X direction (left and right direction) and the Y direction (vertical direction), the adjustment image 45 is displayed in green and the center of the adjustment image 45 Marker PG1 is displayed. Since the adjustment image 45 is displayed in green, it is known that the worker is in the movement adjustment mode in the X direction (left and right direction) and the Y direction (up and down direction) of the adjustment image 45. Since the adjustment image 45 moves in the X direction (left and right direction) or the Y direction (vertical direction) with respect to the screen 5 according to the operation of the cross button 31E by the operator, the marker PS1 of the screen 5 is the marker PG1 for the adjustment image. The adjustment image 45 is moved in the X direction (left and right direction) or the Y direction (vertical direction) so as to fit inside. That is, the center of the adjustment image 45 is aligned with the center of the screen 5. As shown in FIG. 14B, if the marker PS1 of the screen 5 is inside the marker PG1 for the adjustment image, the alignment is good (alignment OK), as shown in FIG. 14C. If at least a part of the marker PS1 of the screen 5 protrudes from the marker PG1 for adjustment image (in other words, if the entire marker PS1 does not fit inside the marker PG1), misalignment (alignment NG) It is.

  Further, for example, the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 stores a plurality of types of position adjustment patterns PP1 to PP25. These position adjustment patterns PP1 to PP25 are patterns for position adjustment distinguished by differences in the size (here, the diameter) of the marker of the screen 5 and the marker of the adjustment image 45. Further, in the gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14D, the position adjustment pattern PP2 is selected and set among the plurality of types of position adjustment patterns PP1 to PP25. In the position adjustment pattern PP2, the diameter LS1 of the marker of the screen 5 is 1 mm, and the diameter LG1 of the marker of the adjustment image 45 is 2 mm. The position adjustment patterns PP1 and PP3 to PP5 other than the position adjustment pattern PP2 can be changed. The position adjustment pattern after the change is stored in the RAM 122 shown in FIG. 7, and even after the game machine 1 is powered on again, the position adjustment can be performed according to the position adjustment pattern after the change. Further, when the marker of the screen 5 is changed to the screen 5 having a marker of a size other than 1 mm (for example, 2 mm to 5 mm), the diameter after change of the marker of the screen 5 among the position adjustment patterns PP6 to PP25 It can be changed to any one of the position adjustment patterns corresponding to. In addition, when it is the structure which can project and display the marker from which a magnitude | size differs on the screen 5 (for example, when equipped with a marker projection apparatus etc.), it changes into any one of position adjustment pattern PP1-PP25 It is possible.

  When the marker PS1 of the screen 5 is fitted inside the marker PG1 for the adjustment image by the operation of the cross button 31E by the operator, the worker presses the push button 31B, for example, and the rotation adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 (FIG. B) Transition to As shown in FIG. 11B, in the rotation adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45, the adjustment image 45 is displayed in blue. By displaying the adjustment image 45 in blue, the operator can know that the adjustment image 45 is in the rotation adjustment mode. The adjusted image data drawn in the drawing area 262R is redrawn so that the marker PG1 is rotated about the rotation center according to the operation of the cross button 31E by the operator, and the upper left marker PG2 and the upper right marker PG3 are respectively screen 5 The cross button 31E is operated to be positioned on a straight line connecting the upper left marker PS2 and the upper right marker PS3. That is, in accordance with the operation of the cross button 31E, the adjusted image 45 is rotated about the Z axis (clockwise or counterclockwise) with respect to the screen 5 so that the adjusted image 45 is parallel to the screen 5. Adjusted.

  In the movement adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 in the X direction (left and right direction) and the Y direction (vertical direction) shown in FIG. 11A described above, the center of the adjustment image 45 is aligned with the center of the screen 5. It is not limited to. For example, in the adjustment image 45, a marker (for example, any one of PG2 to PG5) other than the marker PG1 at the center is displayed, and any one of the markers (for example, markers PS2 to PS5) of the screen 5 corresponding to the marker You may make it match with one. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the operator aligns the entire adjustment image 45 on the screen 5, the adjustment mode changes the adjustment image 45 in the X and Y directions each time the operator presses the push button 31 B, for example. The movement adjustment mode (see FIG. 11A) and the rotation adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 (see FIG. 11B) are switched in this order, but they are switched by operation of operating means other than the push button 31B. Alternatively, it may be automatically switched in response to an input instruction of adjustment OK in each mode.

  As described above, after performing the alignment adjustment (see FIG. 11) of the entire adjustment image 45 on the screen 5, the partial adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 is performed as shown in FIG. It is possible to migrate. For example, when the operator performs an input operation instructing transition to the partial adjustment mode, the partial adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45 is transitioned. In the partial adjustment mode of the adjustment image 45, individual adjustment (that is, partial adjustment of the adjustment image 45) is possible for a plurality of divided adjustment images 45a to 45i constituting the adjustment image 45 as shown in FIG. It has become. Each of the divided adjusted images 45 a to 45 i is an image obtained by dividing the adjusted image 45. Further, looking at the screen 5, it can be considered that the image display area 5X is also divided into a plurality of divided areas so as to correspond to the plurality of divided adjustment images 45a to 45i, and displayed in these divided areas. It can be said that alignment adjustment can be performed individually for each of the divided adjustment images 45a to 45i. In the segmentation area here, as shown in FIG. 11A, an area (hereinafter referred to as “specific image area” as appropriate) in which a stereoscopic display area 5B or a specific image (specific information image or complete display request image) is displayed And so on), but there may be divided areas not including the stereoscopic display area 5B or the specific image area.

  In the adjustment of the division adjustment images 45a to 45i, for example, the VDP 262 performs adjustment to ensure that a character, a decorative pattern, or the like is displayed in an image display area such as the stereoscopic display area 5B. Specifically, at the time of alignment adjustment of the divided adjustment image to be adjusted among the plurality of divided adjustment images 45a to 45i, the VDP 262 is based on the operation of the cross button 31E or the like by the operator or the like. The divided adjusted image data corresponding to the divided adjusted image to be adjusted in the adjusted image data drawn in the drawing area 262R is redrawn so as to move in the X direction (horizontal direction) or the Y direction (vertical direction) Or redraw to rotate around the Z axis (clockwise or counterclockwise), or redraw to zoom in or out. In this manner, alignment adjustment of the division adjustment images 45a to 45i is performed.

  As division adjustment of the adjustment image 45, as shown in FIG. 15B, it is possible to set alignment adjustment to be performed on all division adjustment images 45a to 45i in order. In this setting, as shown in FIG. 15 (B), first, in order of upper left, center, right, all divided adjustment images 45a to 45i, then lower left end, second lower left end, lower left end It is performed in order from the 3rd from the bottom to the lower right end. In the case shown in FIG. 15B, since the operator aligns all of the divided adjustment images 45a to 45i in this order, the alignment of all of the divided adjustment images 45a to 45i can be surely performed. it can.

  In addition, as the division adjustment of the adjustment image 45, as shown in FIG. 15C, it is possible to change only the division adjustment image that needs adjustment to the setting for performing the position alignment adjustment. In FIG. 15C, since the marker PG11 of the division adjustment image 45f protrudes from the marker PS11 of the screen 5, only the division adjustment image 45f is placed so that the marker PS11 of the screen 5 fits inside the marker PG11 of the division adjustment image 45f. The alignment is adjusted. In the case shown in FIG. 15C, since alignment is performed only for the division adjustment image determined by the operator as the need for alignment, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the work for alignment adjustment.

  Although the alignment adjustment of the entire adjustment image 45 is performed, the division adjustment of the adjustment image 45 is performed as shown in FIGS. 15B and 15C, if necessary. However, the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, when the entire adjustment of the adjustment image 45 is unnecessary, the partial adjustment may be performed as shown in FIGS. 15 (B) and 15 (C) without performing the entire adjustment. The alignment adjustment of the entire adjustment image 45 (see FIG. 11) and the alignment adjustment of parts (see FIG. 15) are performed after the keystone correction.

  In the gaming machine 1 having the above configuration, the projector 32 projects a display image onto the image display area in the oblique projection direction with respect to the image display area 5X of the screen 5. Therefore, since the image based on the adjusted image data has a trapezoidal shape before the adjustment of the display image, if the adjusted image data is adjusted such that the image has a rectangular shape, the adjusted rectangular image is And a rectangular image within the range of the image based on the adjusted image data. Therefore, assuming that the drawing area 262R is common to the actual drawing area 262A, the image can not be displayed over the entire area of the image display area 5X.

  In this respect, in the gaming machine 1 described above, the drawing area 262R is allocated as an area wider than the actual drawing area 262A. Therefore, when the display image is adjusted to adjust the trapezoidal image into a rectangular shape, the adjusted image can be displayed within the range of the image display area 5X. Therefore, a normal image can be projected without correction of the image by the projector 32. However, the image displayed in the drawing area 262R may be corrected by the correction function of the projector 32 and projected.

  Further, in the above-described gaming machine 1, when adjusting the display image (that is, adjusting the alignment by the adjustment image 45, etc.), the projector 32 is moved vertically and horizontally based on the operation of the cross button 31E by the operator or the like. The display image data stored in the drawing area 262R is rotated. Therefore, the display image can be adjusted efficiently. Further, in adjusting the display image, the vertical and horizontal positions are adjusted by moving the projector 32 and the rotational position of the display image is adjusted by rotating the display image data. The movement of the projector 32 in the vertical and horizontal directions is relatively easy, but the movement in the rotational direction has difficulties such as the need to hold the projector 32. The display image can be adjusted more efficiently by performing such adjustment of the rotational direction with the display image data.

  The screen 5 is also provided with markers PS1 to PS13. By providing the markers PS1 to PS13, the markers PS1 to PS13 can be used as marks when adjusting the display image. Therefore, the display image can be adjusted more efficiently.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16A, the automatic adjustment device 42 capable of adjusting the display image displayed on the screen 5 based on the operation of the cross button 31E is used. It is not limited to. For example, an automatic adjustment device 42 shown in FIG. 16 (B) may be used. The automatic adjustment device 42 shown in FIG. 16B includes a command input device 38 in place of the cross button 31E. The command input device 38 is connected to the effect control board 12. Also in the automatic adjustment device 42 shown in FIG. 16 (B), as in the case shown in FIG. 16 (A), overall adjustment in the aspect shown in FIG. 11 or a part of the aspect shown in FIG. Adjustment is possible.

  The command input device 38 has eight keys of an up key, a down key, a right key, a left key, a front key, a back key, a right rotation key, and a left rotation key. It is possible to transmit a command (calibration start command) instructing start of alignment adjustment (calibration). When the effect control board 12 receives the calibration start command from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 enters the alignment adjustment (calibration) mode of the adjusted image 45. When each key of the command input device 38 is operated in such an alignment adjustment mode, an operation signal is transmitted to the effect control board 12. When the effect control board 12 receives the operation signal, the process by the display control unit 123 is performed.

  When the upper key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 generates a rising signal for raising the projector 32 so that the image displayed on the screen 5 is raised. The effect control board 12 transmits the generated rise signal to the projector moving device 32A. Further, when the down key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 generates a down signal to lower the projector 32 so that the image displayed on the screen 5 is down. The effect control board 12 transmits the generated descent signal to the projector moving device 32A.

  When the left key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 generates a left movement signal for moving the projector 32 so that the image displayed on the screen 5 moves to the left. The effect control board 12 transmits the generated left movement signal to the projector moving device 32A. Further, when the right key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 generates a right movement signal for moving the projector 32 so that the image displayed on the screen 5 moves to the right. The effect control board 12 transmits the generated right movement signal to the projector moving device 32A.

  When the front key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 generates an advance signal for advancing the projector 32. The effect control board 12 transmits the generated forward movement signal to the projector moving device 32A. Further, when the rear key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 generates a reverse signal to reverse the projector 32. The effect control board 12 transmits the generated backward signal to the projector moving device 32A.

  When the right control key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 provides the display control unit 123 with the VDP 262 (see FIG. 8) in which the image displayed on the screen 5 is rotated clockwise. Generate in). The effect control board 12 causes the projector 32 to project an image according to the generated image. Further, when the left rotation key operation signal is transmitted from the command input device 38, the effect control board 12 causes the image displayed on the screen 5 to rotate counterclockwise in the VDP 262 provided in the display control unit 123. Generate The effect control board 12 causes the projector 32 to project an image according to the generated image.

  Further, an automatic adjustment device 42 shown in FIG. 16C may be used. The automatic adjustment device 42 shown in FIG. 16C includes a controller 210 and a computer 211 in place of the command input device 38 shown in FIG. The controller 210 is connected to the computer 211, and can input operations such as up and down, left and right, back and forth, and rotation of a worker or the like. The computer 211 is connected to the effect control board 12. In the automatic adjustment device 42 shown in FIG. 16 (C), as in the case shown in FIG. 16 (A), overall adjustment in the aspect shown in FIG. 11 or a part of the aspect shown in FIG. Adjustment is possible. The mirror moving device 28A shown in FIGS. 16A to 16C may not be provided.

  In addition, when using the automatic adjustment apparatus 42, the operation | work by a worker may be completely eliminated and you may fully automate. For example, an image displayed on the screen 5 is captured by an imaging unit such as a camera, and the image captured by the imaging unit is subjected to image processing to detect a deviation between the screen 5 and the image displayed on the screen 5 . Based on the deviation detected here, the projector moving device 32A of the automatic adjustment device 42 may be operated, and furthermore, the image may be rotated to adjust the image.

  Next, an example of an effect including an effect by displaying an image on the special screen 205A and an effect of the gaming machine 1 will be described. The effect of displaying an image on the special screen 205A is executed as a special screen appearance effect during the specific super reach effect. The progress of the game in the gaming machine 1 will be schematically described below.

  In the gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the normal drawing start condition is satisfied after the normal drawing start condition is satisfied, the normal drawing game by the normal symbol display device 20 is started. In the regular game, after starting the variable display of the normal symbol (after starting the variation of the normal symbol), when the predetermined time which becomes the common drawing variation time passes, the determined normal symbol which becomes the variable display result of the normal symbol Stop display (derivative 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 variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "per common figure". On the other hand, if the normal 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 variable display result of the normal symbol is “general symbol lost” Become. In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol becoming "per common figure", control is performed to set the normally variable winning ball device 6B in the enlarged open state, and return to the normal open state after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In the gaming machine 1, a special drawing game (first special drawing game) by the first special symbol display device 4A is started based on that the first start condition is satisfied after the first start condition is satisfied, and the second start is performed. A special drawing game (second special drawing game) by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the establishment of the second start condition after the condition is established. In the special figure game, after the start of the variable display of the special symbol (after the start of the variation of the special symbol), when the variable display time as the special figure fluctuation time passes, the finalized variable result of the special symbol is determined Derivate and display the symbol (special drawing display result). 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 is a loss. In addition, if a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it may be a "small hit" as a predetermined display result.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as an example, the special symbol indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” is a big hit symbol, and the special symbol indicating the symbol “-” is a lost symbol. In addition, each symbol such as big hit symbol in the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and lost symbol will be a special symbol different from each symbol in the second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B The special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol and a lost symbol.

  After the variable display result in the special view game becomes "big hit", the gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state which is the specific gaming state. The gaming machine 1 executes a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as a “round game”) a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds) in the big hit gaming state. The round is the opening cycle of the big winning opening. In addition, after the variable display result in the special view game becomes "small hit", the gaming machine 1 is controlled to a small hit gaming state which is a special gaming state different from the big hit gaming state.

  In each round (each round) after the variable display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", the gaming machine 1 opens and closes the special winning opening door of the special variable winning prize ball device 7, and the special winning opening Change the state (opened state, closed state) of For example, the gaming machine 1 changes the big winning opening from the closed state to the open state at the start of the round, and then changes the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state. That is, the gaming machine 1 opens the big winning opening door at the start of the round and keeps the big winning opening open, and then closes the big winning opening door and keeps the big winning opening in a closed state. End the round.

  The gaming machine 1 changes the large winning opening to the open state once in one round (in one round, changes the large winning opening from the open state to the closed state). The gaming machine 1 may change the large winning opening to an open state a plurality of times per round. For example, the gaming machine 1 may change the big winning opening to the open state twice in one round (in the single round, the big winning opening is open → closed → open → closed) And may be changed).

  In addition, the big winning a prize opening is maintained in a closing state instead of the above-mentioned aspect which changes a big winning a prize opening from a closing state to an open state and starts a round (a mode which opens a big winning a prize opening door immediately at the start of a round). It may be an aspect in which the round starts as it is (an aspect in which the big winning opening door is not opened at the start of the round). That is, the gaming machine 1 maintains the large winning opening in the closed state without opening the large winning opening door at the start of the round, and then opens the large winning opening door and maintains the large winning opening in the open state. You may close the big winning opening door and end one round.

  The predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds) that a round is executed in the jackpot gaming state may not be a fixed (constant) number of times (for example, always ten times). For example, the predetermined number of times the round is executed in the jackpot gaming state (predetermined number of rounds) is selected (lottery) from among a plurality of types of times (for example, 2 times, 8 times, 16 times) It may be the number.

  That is, in the big hit gaming state, the gaming machine 1 selects the number of times of execution of the round is the upper limit number of times (when the predetermined number of times is a fixed number of times, the predetermined number of times of fixing, the predetermined number of times described above If so, repeat the round until it reaches the selected number of times). In addition, even before the number of times of execution of the round reaches the upper limit number, the gaming machine 1 ends the execution of the round when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, the game ball does not win the big winning opening). May be

  In the round, the special winning opening becomes either a predetermined time (opening period) elapses after opening the special winning opening door or a predetermined number (for example, nine) of winnings to the special winning opening occur. It is kept open for a period of time. The predetermined time (opening period) in which the big winning opening is kept open in the round may not be a fixed (constant) time (for example, always 29 seconds). For example, the predetermined time (opening period) in which the big winning opening is kept open in the round is selected (lottery) from among a plurality of types of time (for example, 0.1 seconds, 29 seconds) It may be time.

  In the round, the winning opening is kept closed (closed state in the round) until a predetermined time (closed period) elapses. For example, in the case where the big winning opening is changed from the closed state to the open state and the round is started, the big winning opening is closed until the predetermined time (closing period) elapses after the big winning opening door is closed. It is kept closed for a period. Also, for example, in a mode in which the round starts while maintaining the big winning opening in a closed state, the big winning opening is in a closing state until a predetermined time (closing period) elapses after the start of the round. Maintained. The predetermined time (closing period) in which the big winning opening is kept closed in the round may not be a fixed (constant) time (for example, always 3 seconds). For example, the predetermined time (closing period) in which the big winning opening is kept closed in the round is any time selected (lottery) from among a plurality of types of time (for example, 1 second, 3 seconds) It may be.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 is a value obtained by the player in each big hit gaming state as a big hit gaming state to be controlled after the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, ie, the player It is possible to prepare (implement) various jackpot gaming states in which the degree of advantage (for example, the number of winning balls (the number of balls)) is different.

  Also, in addition to the value that the player gets from the big hit gaming state itself (the value that the player gets during the big hit gaming state), the kind of state of the gaming machine 1 controlled after the big hit gaming state (for example, A period (for example, the number of times of time reduction, the number of times of ST) in which the normal state, the time reduction state, the distinction of the definite change state) or the state of the gaming machine 1 controlled after the big hit gaming state By making the length etc. different, the value obtained by the player after the big hit gaming state may be made different.

  In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R arranged in the display area of the screen 5, the first special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special figure game by the second special symbol display device 4B In response to any one of the special drawing games being started, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started. Then, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, the variable display state of the decorative symbol is variable during a period from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when variable display is ended by stop display of the decorative symbol. It may be in the predetermined reach state which constitutes a part of the combination of a display.

  With the reach state, when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed in the display area of the screen 5 constitutes a part of the big hit combination, about the decorative pattern (also referred to as “reach fluctuation pattern”) not displayed yet. It is a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or part of the decoration patterns are synchronously fluctuated while constituting all or a part of the jackpot combination. In the following description, reaching the reach state is also referred to as reaching.

  In addition, when all the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed among the combinations of decorative symbols displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, a combination other than the above-mentioned big hit combination is referred to as a lost combination. In addition, the combination of the decorative symbols stopped and displayed as part of the big hit combination is also referred to as a reach combination. Further, among the lost combinations, the combination of the decorative designs including the reach combination is also referred to as a reach losing combination, and the combination of the decorative designs not including the reach combination is also referred to as a non-reach losing combination. In addition, when the reach combination is displayed, the reach variation symbol may or may not be displayed along with the reach combination. Further, the reach combination may be displayed in an area other than the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, which is an area in the screen 5 or the special screen 205A, as the reach effect is performed.

  Also, in response to the reaching state, the variation speed of the decorative pattern is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the decorative pattern is displayed in the display area of the screen 5. By changing the display mode of the background image, reproducing the moving image different from the decorative pattern, or changing the fluctuation mode of the decorative pattern, a different rendering operation than before reaching the reach state is executed. There is a case. Such a rendering operation as displaying a character image, changing a display mode of a background image, reproducing and displaying a moving image, and changing a change mode of a decorative pattern is called reach effect (or reach effect display). Further, the reach effect of this embodiment includes setting the operation (stationary, fine movement, movement, etc.) of the special screen device 205 etc. to an operation mode different from the operation mode before reaching the reach state. Further, the reach effect may include not only the display operation on the screen 5 but also an audio output operation by the speaker 8 and a light emission operation (lighting operation, blinking operation, extinguishing operation) of the lamp 9 or the like.

  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. Then, depending on the rendering pattern, the possibility that the big hit combination and the like will be finally stopped and displayed after the reach effect may be made different (also referred to as “big hit expectation” or “big hit reliability”). As a result, it is possible to make the jackpot expectation different depending on which one of the plurality of reach effects is performed, that is, depending on which reach effect is to appear. As an example, in the present embodiment, the reach mode of the normal reach and the reach mode of the super reach having a high jackpot expectation degree higher than the normal reach are set (prepared) in advance.

  In addition, during the variable display of the decorative symbol, as one aspect of the variable display effect, it is possible to execute a pseudo continuous effect or the like realized by a variable display operation such as the decorative symbol. In the pseudo-series effect, in response to one of the first start condition and the second start condition of the special drawing game being met once, the fixed display that becomes the variable display result after the variable display of the decorative pattern is started Until all the symbols are derived and displayed, all of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R are decorative symbols (for example, a predetermined pseudo chance sequence etc. is displayed and any one of the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R is displayed) Or temporarily displayed on all, and then, again, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, re-variable display which is effect display to start variable display of all decorative symbols is predetermined. It can be done once (eg up to 4 times).

  In this embodiment, a so-called preview advance notice effect can be executed as a notice effect for giving notice of becoming a big hit, reach or super reach (informing the big hit expectation degree or reach possibility). The preview advance notice effect determines the type of variable display result or variation pattern (variation category, reach, super reach, presence or absence of pseudo link etc.) at start winning, and is a notice effect executed based on the determination result is there. In this embodiment, a hold display notice to change the display mode of the hold display is executed as the prefetch notice effect.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process (S75) included in the predetermined effect control main process. The effect control CPU 120 is activated upon receiving the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply substrate 16 or the like, and executes the effect control main process. In the effect control main process, initialization of effect control is performed by executing an initialization process. After that, each time a predetermined interruption time for effect control (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses and a timer interruption for effect control occurs, a command analysis process, an effect control process process, an effect random number update process, etc. are executed. Be done. In addition to the timer interrupt for effect control, when an interrupt for command reception occurs, the control signal that is the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11 is taken in, for example, in a predetermined area (rendering control buffer setting unit) of the RAM 122 The effect control command is stored in the provided effect control command reception buffer or the like. For example, in the command analysis process, when it is determined that the command for start winning is received, the reception command is stored in the command buffer for start winning. When a first start opening winning combination designation command or a first special view hold storage number specification command is received as a start winning combination command, a start winning combination command (first start opening winning combination designation command, first special view hold storage number specification command The symbol determination result designation command and the variation pattern determination result designation command) are stored in a first start winning command buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. When a second start opening winning combination designation command or a second special view hold storage number specification command is received as a start winning combination command, a start winning combination command (second start opening winning combination designation command, second special view hold storage number specification command The symbol determination result designation command and the variation pattern determination result designation command are stored in a second start winning command buffer provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122.

  In the effect control process shown in FIG. 19, first, the effect determination process at the time of winning is executed (step S150). In the effect determination process at the time of winning, the CPU 120 for effect control first checks the storage content in the start winning time reception command buffer (the first start winning time reception command buffer 194A or the second start winning time reception command buffer 194B) or , And a process of determining whether or not a starting opening winning combination designation command has been received as a reception command, and a process of determining a display mode (also referred to as an addition display mode) of the hold display when additionally displaying in the hold display area 5H. Or, a hold display process (FIG. 20) described later is executed.

  After executing the prize effect determination process of step S150, the effect control CPU 120 executes an after-mentioned special screen device initial operation process (step S151). After execution of the special screen device initial operation process, for example, one of the processes in steps S170 to 177 below is selected according to the value of the effect process flag provided in the effect control flag setting unit 191 or the like Run.

  The variable display start waiting process of step S170 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0”, which is the initial value. This variable display start waiting process is based on whether or not the first variation start command (or the second variation start command), the variation pattern designation command, the variable display result notification command, etc. transmitted from the main board 11 are received. It includes a process of determining whether or not variable display of the decorative design in 5 is to be started, and a process of displaying a process of executing a demonstration effect (display of customer waiting demonstration). When it is determined that variable display of the decorative symbol is to be started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1". The variable display start waiting process of step S170 will be further described later.

  The variable display start setting process of step S171 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". This variable display start setting process is variable in the decorative symbol on the screen 5 in response to the start of variable display of the special symbol in the special drawing game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to perform display and various other rendering operations, processing for determining a finalized decorative symbol according to the variation pattern of the special symbol, the type of display result, and the like is included. Thereafter, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "2".

  The variable display effect process of step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In the variable display effect process, the effect control CPU 120 is based on the effect control pattern determined in the variable display start setting process, corresponding to the timer value in the effect control process timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit 192. The various control data are read out, and various effect control (for example, variable display control of the decorative symbol during variable display of the decorative symbol) is performed. Specifically, based on the read control data (process data), the effect control CPU 120 outputs a video signal (effect image) to the screen 5 and causes the screen 5 to be displayed, and the effect sound signal is transmitted to the sound control board 13. Control to output the effect sound from the speaker 8, control to output the electric decoration signal to the lamp control board 14 to turn on / off / flash the lamp 9, drive control of the special screen device 205, and various other control effects. Run.

  After performing such effect control, for example, the end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol has been read out from the effect control pattern, or that the symbol determination command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received, etc. The finalized display of the finalized decorative design (final stop design), which is the result of the variable display of the decorative design, is displayed. When the determined decoration pattern is completely stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3".

  The process for waiting for a special figure in step S173 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "3." In this special drawing waiting process, processing for counting the number of times of ST (number of probability variations) and the number of time reductions, processing for updating the value of the effect number counter, processing for changing the gaming state according to the value of the effect number counter, etc. Can be included. In this special view-per-wait process, the CPU for effect control 120 sets the fanfare effect and updates the value of the effect process flag to "4" when the stop symbol is a big hit symbol, and the stop symbol is not a big hit symbol At the same time, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value.

  The jackpot start process of step S174 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "4". This big hit start processing is executed before the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is opened, and sets the processing to execute fanfare effect and the effect to be executed when the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened. Includes processing and so on. Thereafter, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "5".

  The process in the round of step S175 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "5". The processing during the round is executed when the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is in the open state, the processing for executing effects when the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is in the open state, or the special variable winning prize ball device 7 It includes a process of setting an effect to be executed when the closed state is reached. Thereafter, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "6".

  The post-round process in step S176 is a process that is executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". The round post-processing is executed when the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is in the open state. When the special winning opening open notification command from the main substrate 11 is received, the effect to be executed when the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is in the open state is set, and the value of the effect process flag is set to "5". Update. Further, when the hit end designation command from the main substrate 11 is received, the ending effect is set, and the value of the effect process flag is updated to "7".

  The jackpot end post-processing in step S177 is processing that is executed when the value of the rendering process flag is “7”. This big hit end post process is executed before the special variable winning ball device 7 is closed, processing to execute ending effect, processing to set the gaming state, and set the number of times ST (number of probability variation) and time reduction Processing etc. are included. Thereafter, the value of the rendering process flag is updated to "0".

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the hold display process. In the hold display process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a start winning has occurred (step S101). In step S101, it may be determined whether the first starting opening winning combination designation command or the second starting opening winning combination designation command is newly received from the main substrate 11.

  When it is determined that the start winning has occurred (step S101; Yes), it is determined whether or not to execute the hold display advance notice, and an effect mode in the case of execution (step S102). In step S102, based on the display result indicated by the command (design designation command, variation category command) indicating the determination result at the time of winning received from the main substrate 11, for example, is the hold display advance notice executed at the determination ratio shown in FIG. Whether or not to execute may be determined. As shown in FIG. 21, in this embodiment, the display color of the hold display when the hold display advance is not executed is “white”, and when the hold display advance is executed, “blue”, “green” or It becomes "red". As shown in FIG. 21, the jackpot reliability is “red”> “green”> “blue”. As described above, in the on-hold display notice, the big hit reliability and the execution ratio of effects such as super reach may be different according to the display mode (display color here) of the on-hold display.

  After the presence / absence of execution of the hold display advance notice and the presentation mode (display color) in the case of execution are determined in step S102, display control for causing the hold display LED 34 to emit light is executed according to the determination result (step S103). Further, display control is performed to cause the projector 32 to project a color according to the determination result (step S104).

  In step S103, for example, the effect control CPU 120 causes the sub LED control unit 270 to display the hold display LED 34 of the hold display area 5H (or the current display area 5K) corresponding to the current winning in the display color determined in step S102. It is sufficient to transmit a command for causing the light emission.

  In step S104, the effect control CPU 120 instructs, for example, the projector control unit 260 to project the color corresponding to the display color determined in step S102 on the hold display area 5H corresponding to the current winning ( The control command may be transmitted. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, as a hold display device for displaying a hold display, the hold display LED 34 emits light in “white”, “blue”, “green”, “red”. The projector 32 projects the same color as well. In this way, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the visibility of the hold display due to the projection image from the projector 32, and it is possible to emphasize the hold display by projecting the same color.

  After execution of the process of step S104 or when a new start winning combination has not occurred (step S101; No), it is determined whether or not it is a timing to shift the hold display (step S105). In step S105, the effect control CPU 120, for example, displays a pending display when receiving a command indicating a command indicating that the variation is ended or that the variation is started (a variation pattern specification command, a variable display result notification command, etc.) It may be determined that it is the timing to shift the In addition, when the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern designation command has elapsed, it may be determined that it is the timing to shift the hold display.

  If it is not the timing to shift the hold and hold (Step S105; No), the hold display process is ended. If it is the timing to shift the hold (step S105; Yes), control is performed to turn off the hold display LED 34 of the hold display area 5H of the shift source (step S106), and the projector to the hold display area 5H of the shift source Control to end the projection from 32 is executed (step S107).

  In steps S106 and S107, the effect control CPU 120 transmits a command (effect control command) for turning off the hold display to the sub LED control unit 270 or the projector control unit 260 as in the case of displaying the hold display. do it.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, when the holding display LED 34 is not on, the projection from the projector 32 to the holding display area 5H is also not performed. By doing this, when there is no hold corresponding to the hold number, the hold display area 5H becomes black. As a result, by projecting an image or video on the hold display area 5H, it is possible to prevent misunderstanding that there is hold even though there is no hold. When the projection from the projector 32 to the reserve display area 5H is not performed, for example, the control may be performed to reduce the projection range as a whole. When the hold display LED 34 is not on, a color not used for the hold display, such as black, may be projected to the hold display area 5H. Further, when white is not used as a display color of the hold display, white may be projected.

  After the process of turning off (erasing) the shift display of the hold display in steps S106 and S107, the hold display LED 34 of the shift display hold display area 5H (or the current display area 5K) is illuminated in the same color as the shift source. The control is executed (step S108), and control for causing the projector 32 to project the same color as the shift source is executed (step S109). Thereafter, the pending display process is ended.

  Next, the special screen device initial operation process of step S151 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the special screen device initial operation process.

  In the special screen device initial operation process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the initialization designation command or the power failure recovery designation command is stored in the initialization designation command storage region or the power failure recovery command storage region formed in the RAM 122 It judges (step S1511). The initialization designation command or the power failure recovery designation command is stored in the above-mentioned command analysis process. If it is determined that the initialization designation command or the power failure recovery designation command is not stored (step S1511; NO), the effect control CPU 120 ends the special screen device initial operation processing.

  On the other hand, when determining that the initialization designation command or the power failure recovery designation command is stored (step S1511; YES), the effect control CPU 120 performs processing for executing the initial operation A (step S1512). The initial operation A is an initial operation for confirming that the special screen device 205 can move in the entire movable range. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the special screen device initial operation process.

  The initial operation (initial operation) of the special screen device 205 described in this embodiment includes a long initial operation and a short initial operation. Among these, the initial operation A is an initial operation corresponding to the long initial operation. Further, an initial operation B described later is an initial operation corresponding to a short initial operation.

  The long initial operation is an initial operation for checking whether or not a problem occurs in the special screen device 205 in a normal rendering operation (normal operation confirmation). On the other hand, the short initial operation is an initial operation in which the special screen device 205 is operated by omitting a part of the normal rendering operation. Therefore, in the long initial operation, the special screen 205A is operated, but in the short initial operation, the special screen 205A is operated in a simpler operation than the long initial operation. The short initial operation is an operation process for causing an origin return (origin detection) to the last. For this reason, the short initial operation has less movement compared to the long initial operation. By performing the short initial operation, it is possible to check the operation of the special screen device 205 in a short time as compared to the case where the long initial operation is performed.

  Next, an initial operation A execution process (long initial operation) of step S1512 in the special screen device initial operation process (step S151) will be described using FIG. As shown in FIG. 24, in the initial operation A execution process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether preparation for the initial operation A execution is completed (step S1521). The effect control CPU 120 determines that the special screen 205A is in the storage state and the falling time timer and the rising start timer are not set in the determination of preparation for execution of the initial operation A. The storage state is determined based on the origin position signal transmitted from the left origin sensor 205YL and the right origin sensor 205YR. If the effect control CPU 120 determines that the initial operation A has not been executed (step S1521; NO), it prepares for the initial operation A (step S1522). In preparation for execution of the initial operation A, the special screen 205A is put in the storage state, and the falling time timer and the rising start timer are cleared.

  The effect control CPU 120 operates the elevating motor 205M to lower the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR and lowers the elevating frame 205F when performing the storing operation to put the special screen 205A in the storing state. The effect control CPU 120 repeats the storage operation and continues until it is determined in step S1521 that preparation for execution of the initial operation A is completed. When the special screen 205A is in the storage state, the effect control CPU 120 sets the lower left stopper solenoid 205DL and the lower right stopper solenoid 205DR. By setting the lower left stopper solenoid 205DL and the lower right stopper solenoid 205DR, a shift or the like of the special screen 205A in the stored state is suppressed.

  If the effect control CPU 120 determines in step S1521 that preparation for execution of the initial operation A is completed (step S1521: YES), it determines whether the falling time timer is being set (step S1523). The falling time timer is a time for projecting a demonstration effect image on the special screen 205A when the special screen 205A appears. When determining that the falling time timer is not in progress (step S1523; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the rising start timer is being set (step S1524). The rising start timer is a time for projecting the demonstration effect image on the screen 5 when the special screen 205A is in the storage state.

  If the effect control CPU 120 determines that the rising start timer is not set (step S1524; NO), the rising control timer (= tu) is set (step S1525), and the process proceeds to step S1526. If the effect control CPU 120 determines that the rise start timer is being set (step S1524; YES), the effect control CPU 120 proceeds directly to step S1526 without setting the rise start timer (= tu).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 projects a demo image on the main screen 5 (step S1526). Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the rise start timer has counted up (tu = 0) (step S1527). As a result, when the effect control CPU 120 determines that the rising start timer has not counted up (tU ≠ 0) (step S1527; NO), the demonstration effect to be executed on the screen 5 has not ended yet . Therefore, the effect control CPU 120 ends the initial operation A execution process as it is.

  If it is determined that the rise start timer has counted up (tu = 0) (step S1527; YES), the effect control CPU 120 cancels the lower left stopper solenoid 205DL and the lower right stopper solenoid 205DR, and operates the lift motor 205M. Then (step S1528), the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR are raised. The effect control CPU 120 also raises the lifting frame 205F by raising the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR (step S1528).

  The special screen 205A appears on the front side of the screen 5 as the lifting frame 205F rises, and is gradually set. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project a predetermined image (step S1529). The predetermined image is an image of a single color, for example, white, having no creature (person) such as a character or a pattern. Further, the effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project a predetermined image, changes the focus of the image to be projected from the screen 5 to the special screen 205A (step S1530), and adjusts the focus according to the special screen 205A. In order to change the focus of the image to be projected from the screen 5 to the special screen 205A, the effect control CPU 120 operates the projector moving device 32A to retract the projector 32 from the first normal position to the second normal position.

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the special screen 205A has reached the top stage based on the origin position signal transmitted from the upper left end sensor 205ZL and the upper right end sensor 205ZR (step S1531). As a result, when the effect control CPU 120 determines that the special screen 205A has not reached the top (step S1531; NO), the initial operation A execution process is ended as it is. Therefore, the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR continue to rise until the special screen 205A reaches the top.

  When the effect control CPU 120 determines that the special screen 205A has reached the top (step S1531; YES), the special screen 205A appears entirely and is in the set state. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 stops the lift motor 205M (step S1532), and ends the lifting of the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR. At the same time, the lifting of the lifting frame 205F is ended. Subsequently, the upper left stopper solenoid 205UL and the upper right stopper solenoid 205UR are set to restrict the downward movement of the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR. Then, the effect control CPU 120 clears the rise start timer (step S1533).

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 sets a falling time timer (= td) (step S1534). Then, the effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project the demonstration effect image on the special screen 205A (step S1535). At this time, since the focus of the image projected from the projector 32 corresponds to the special screen 205A which appears entirely and is in the set state, the image in focus is projected on the special screen 205A.

  Also, if the effect control CPU 120 determines in step S1523 that the falling time timer is being set (step S1523; YES), the process proceeds to step S1535. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the falling time timer has counted up (td = 0) (step S1536). As a result, if it is determined that the falling time timer has not counted up (td ≠ 0) (step S1536; NO), it means that the demonstration effect executed on the special screen 205A has not ended yet. In this case, the initial operation A execution process is ended as it is, and the demonstration effect on the special screen 205A is continued.

  If it is determined that the descent time timer has counted up (td = 0) (step S1536; YES), the effect control CPU 120 cancels the upper left stopper solenoid 205UL and the upper right stopper solenoid 205UR and operates the elevating motor 205M. Then, the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR are lowered (step S1537). Further, the effect control CPU 120 also lowers the elevation frame 205F by lowering the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR (step S1537).

  The special screen 205A is gradually stored on the front side of the screen 5 as the elevating frame 205F is lowered. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project a predetermined image (step S1538). The predetermined image may be an image projected in step S1529, or may be an image different from this image. The effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project a predetermined image, changes the focus of the image to be projected from the special screen 205A to the screen 5 (step S1539), and adjusts the focus according to the screen 5. In order to change the focus of the image to be projected from the special screen 205A to the screen 5, the effect control CPU 120 operates the projector moving device 32A to advance the projector 32 from the second correct position to the first correct position.

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the special screen 205A is accommodated based on the origin position signal transmitted from the left origin sensor 205YL and the right origin sensor 205YR (step S1540). As a result, when the effect control CPU 120 determines that the special screen 205A is not stored (step S1540; NO), the initial operation A execution process is ended as it is. Therefore, the descent of the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR is continued until the special screen 205A is stored.

  If the effect control CPU 120 determines that the special screen 205A is stored (step S1540; YES), the lift motor 205M is stopped (step S1541) to lower the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR. End. At the same time, the lowering of the lifting frame 205F is ended (step S1541). At this time, the upper left stopper solenoid 205UL and the upper right stopper solenoid 205UR are set to restrict the upward movement of the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR. Subsequently, the falling time timer is cleared (step S1542). Thus, the initial operation A execution process is ended.

  Next, the variable display start waiting process executed in step S170 of the effect control process (step S75) will be described using FIG. In the variable display start waiting process shown in FIG. 25, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not there is a reception of a first change start command (or a second change start command) (step S1000).

  If it is determined in step S1000 that the first change start command (or the second change start command) is not received (step S1000; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the demonstration effect flag is on It determines (step S1002). The demonstration in-progress flag is a flag indicating whether or not the customer waiting demonstration display is being performed. When the demonstration effect flag is on (for example, the value "1"), it indicates that the customer waiting demonstration display is being performed, and when the demonstration effect flag is off (for example, the value "0") Indicates that the customer waiting demonstration display has not been performed. The value of the demonstration effect flag may be stored in the effect control flag setting unit 191, for example.

  If it is determined in step S1002 that the demonstration effect flag is not in the on state (step S1002; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the customer waiting demo specification command is received (step S1004). If it is determined in step S1004 that no customer waiting demo specification command has been received (step S1004; NO), the variable display start waiting process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1004 that the customer waiting demo specification command is received (step S1004; YES), the demonstration effect flag is set to the on state (step S1006), and according to the demonstration effect (customer waiting demonstration display) The selected process data (effect control pattern) is selected (step S1008), and the effect control process timer is started (step S1010). As a result, on the basis of the reception of the customer wait demo specification command, demonstration effect (display of customer wait demonstration) is started. Thereafter, the variable display start waiting process is ended. In the present embodiment, the variable display start waiting process of step S170 has been described as the condition for starting the demonstration effect to determine whether or not the customer waiting demo specification command is received. The conditions are not limited to this. For example, the demonstration effect may be started when a predetermined time has elapsed since the variable display stop. Also, the demonstration effect may be started by detecting that the player is not in the gaming state by a sensor or the like.

  If it is determined in step S1002 that the demonstration effect flag is on (step S1002; YES), that is, if the demonstration effect has already been performed, the effect control CPU 120 performs a predetermined operation (for example, the stick controller 31A). It is determined whether or not there is a predetermined operation (e.g., push button 31B, cross button 31E, etc.) (step S1012). If it is determined in step S1012 that a predetermined operation has not been made (step S1012; NO), the CPU for effect control 120 executes an initial operation execution process during demonstration described later (step S1014). After executing the demonstration initial operation execution process of step S1014, the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display start waiting process of step S170. That is, when a predetermined operation using the stick controller 31A or the like is not performed during the demonstration effect, the demonstration effect is continued.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1012 that there is a predetermined operation (step S1012; YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes menu processing (step S1013). The menu processing in step S1013 displays a menu on the screen 5 and enables the player to perform an operation according to the menu contents. After executing the process of step S1013, the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display start waiting process of step S170.

  If it is determined in step S1000 that the first change start command (or the second change start command) is received (step S1000; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the demonstration effect flag is on or not. It determines (step S1022). If it is determined in step S1022 that the demonstration effect flag is on (step S1022; YES), that is, if the demonstration effect has already been performed, the demonstration effect flag is reset to the off state (step S1024). Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “1” which is a value corresponding to the variable display start setting process (step S1026).

  After executing the processing of step S1026, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the initial operation completed flag (step S1027). The initial operation execution completion flag is a flag that is turned on when the initial operation is executed in the process of step S1014, and is set next by turning off the variable display start waiting process of step S170 When the demonstration effect is executed, the initial operation of the special screen device 205 etc. can be executed again. After executing the process of step S1027, the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display start waiting process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S1022 that the demonstration effect flag is not in the on state (step S1022; NO), the processing of step S1024 is omitted (skipped), and the value of the presentation process flag corresponds to variable display start setting processing After updating the value to “1” (step S1026), the variable display start waiting process is ended.

  Next, the details of the demonstration operation initial operation execution process of step S1014 in the variable display start waiting process (step S170) of FIG. 25 will be described using FIG. While the special screen device initial operation process (step S151) described with reference to FIG. 23 is executed when the initialization designation command or the power failure recovery designation command is received from the main substrate 11, the demo shown in FIG. The middle initial operation execution process (step S1014) is performed while the gaming machine 1 is in a demonstration. That is, the present embodiment exemplifies the case where the initial operation is performed at the timing when the power is turned on and is performed at other timing. Therefore, it is possible to check for defects in the special screen device 205 etc. except when the power is turned on, and to return to the origin position even when the special screen device 205 etc. is not at the origin position.

  In the demonstration initial operation execution process shown in FIG. 26, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the initial operation execution completion flag is in the on state (step S10141). The initial operation is performed only once during the demonstration. The initial operation completed flag is a flag indicating that the initial operation has been performed in the demonstration initial operation execution process of step S1014 when the gaming machine 1 starts the demonstration effect. Therefore, when determining that the initial operation execution completion flag is in the on state (step S10141; YES), the effect control CPU 120 ends the demonstration initial operation execution process of step S1014. As described above, the initial operation execution completion flag is turned off in the process of step S1027 in the variable display start waiting process (step S170) of FIG.

  On the other hand, when determining that the initial operation execution completion flag is not in the on state (step S10141; NO), the effect control CPU 120 turns on the initial operation execution completion flag (step S10142). The initial operation completed flag may be stored, for example, in an area (a data holding area for effect control) which is provided in the RAM 122 and holds various data used to control the effect operation. After executing the process of step S10142, the effect control CPU 120 performs a process for executing the initial operation B (step S10146). In the initial operation B, the special screen 205A is operated from the storage state to the set state without projecting an image on the special screen 205A, and processing for immediately moving the special screen 205A to the storage state without maintaining the set state is performed. After executing the process of step S10146, the effect control CPU 120 ends the demonstration initial operation execution process of step S1014.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 27, the variable-displayed effect process executed in step S172 of the effect control process process (step S75) shown in FIG. 19 will be described. In the variable display effect process shown in FIG. 27, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variable display time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern has elapsed based on, for example, the effect control process timer value etc. (step S541) ). As an example, in the process of step S541, the effect control process timer value is updated, and when the end code is read from the effect control pattern corresponding to the effect control process timer value after the update, the variable display time elapses It may be determined that the

  If the variable display time has not elapsed in step S541 (step S541; NO), it is determined whether it is a special screen appearance effect period for executing special screen appearance effects (step S542). That is, the CPU 120 for effect control determines whether or not it is a special screen appearance effect period when the variable display of the decorative symbol is being executed. In the special screen appearance presentation period, a command corresponding to a specific fluctuation pattern (for example, a specific super reach fluctuation pattern for executing a specific super reach presentation corresponding to the execution of the special screen appearance presentation) is given as the fluctuation pattern designation command. Set when sent from. When it is determined in step S 542 that it is a special screen appearance effect period (step S 542; YES), a special screen appearance effect process is performed (step S 543).

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of the special screen appearance presentation process. The special screen appearance presentation process shown in FIG. 28 is a process for projecting a predetermined presentation image mainly on the main screen 5 and the special screen 205A. The effect control CPU 120 executes a special screen control process (not shown) for controlling the position of the special screen 205A in conjunction with the process.

  In the special screen control process, first, the effect control CPU 120 operates the lift motor 205M until the special screen 205A reaches the top stage according to the start of the special screen appearance presentation process, and the special screen 205A reaches the top stage. If it is determined that the lift motor 205M is determined, the lift motor 205M is stopped. As a result, the special screen 205A is in the set state. Subsequently, when determining that it is a special screen lowering period described later, the effect control CPU 120 operates the raising and lowering motor 205M to lower the raising and lowering frame F. The special screen 205A is gradually stored on the front side of the screen 5 as the elevating frame 205F is lowered. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the special screen 205A is stored based on the origin position signal transmitted from the left origin sensor 205YL and the right origin sensor 205YR. Then, when it is determined that the special screen 205A is stored, the lift motor 205M is stopped to end the lowering of the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR, and to end the lowering of the lift frame 205F. Further, the lower left stopper solenoid 205DL and the lower right stopper solenoid 205DR are set to restrict the upward movement of the left slider 205SL and the right slider 205SR.

  Now, the special screen appearance presentation process shown in FIG. 28 will be described. In the special screen appearance rendering process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether the special screen 205A is operable (step S901). Here, when the special screen appearance effect process is started, the effect control CPU 120 executes the special screen control process described above to operate the elevating motor 205M to raise the special screen 205A, but operates the elevating motor 205M. Even if control is performed, for example, the gear mechanism 205H connecting the lifting motor 205M and the left slider 205SL or the right slider 205SR may have a problem, or the left slider 205SL or the right slider 205SR may be disconnected from the lifting frame 205F. It is conceivable that the Therefore, it is determined whether or not to continue the special screen appearance effect here. If the special screen 205A does not operate normally, the special screen reach effect described later will not be executed.

  If it is determined that the special screen 205A is not operable (step S901; NO), special screen non-appearance effect of projecting the effect image on the screen (main screen) 5 is executed (step S902). In the special screen non-appearance presentation, presentation is performed by projecting the projection image on the screen 5 instead of performing reach presentation by the projection image of the special screen 205A. Here, in this embodiment, when the specific super reach effect is started, the projection image from the projector 32 is displayed in the first color mode CL1 (see FIG. 32 and the like) as a monochrome mode. Then, when the special screen non-appearance effect of step S902 is executed, the color tone change effect of changing the projection image from the first color mode CL1 to the second color mode CL2 (see FIG. 34) as a color mode is not performed . Therefore, the projection image at the time of execution of the special screen non-appearance effect remains the first color mode CL1 as the monochrome mode. The tone change presentation will be described in detail later.

  It should be noted that, as a configuration not provided with the determination process of step S901 or the execution process of the special screen non-appearance effect of step S902, the effect by the projection image is continued even if there is a problem with the drive mechanism of the special screen 205A. It is also good. As described above, the special screen control process for controlling the movement of the special screen 205A is a process different from the special screen appearance presentation process for performing projection control of the effect image, and thus the special screen 205A is temporarily defective. Even if there is an effect by the projected image is continued. Also, the special screen appearance presentation process may be integrated with the drive control of the special screen 205A as in the initial operation A execution process (step S1512) shown in FIG.

  In the special screen control process for controlling the movement of the special screen 205A, the storage state of the special screen 205A is determined based on the origin position signal transmitted from the left origin sensor 205YL and the right origin sensor 205YR, and the upper left end sensor The set state of the special screen 205A is determined based on the home position signal transmitted from the sensor 205ZL and the upper right sensor 205ZR. The present invention is not limited to this, and more sensors may be provided in the movable range of the special screen 205A, or a sensor (such as an optical sensor) capable of sequentially detecting where the special screen 205A is currently located may be provided. If it is determined that some problem has occurred in the movement of the special screen 205A even during the movement of the middle (in the middle of rising or falling), the special screen non-appearance effect (step S902) is executed or the predetermined image is projected ( Steps S904 and S909) may not be performed, or focus change processing (steps S905 and S910) may not be performed. In this way, even when the special screen 205A suffers from any problems, it is possible to reduce the sense of discomfort in the projected image.

  Referring back to FIG. 28, when it is determined that the special screen 205A is operable (step S901; YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is a special screen rising period (step S903). The special screen rising period may be determined in advance so as to be synchronized with the drive control of the special screen 205A by the special screen control process in the effect control pattern corresponding to the contents of the special screen appearance effect. The same applies to each period, such as the special screen top row stop period, the special screen falling period, and the special screen storage period, which is the determination target in each process of steps S906, S908, and S914 described later.

  When it is determined that it is a special screen rising period (step S 903; YES), the effect control CPU 120 projects a predetermined image (step S 904). The predetermined image may be an image projected in step S1529, or may be an image different from this image. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 executes a focus change (from main to special) process of causing the projector 32 to project a predetermined image and changing the focus of the image to be projected from the main screen 5 to the special screen 205A (steps) S 905). That is, the focus is adjusted according to the special screen 205A.

  In this focus change (main to special) processing, as shown in FIG. 29, it is determined whether or not the number of executions of focus change from the first focus position to the second focus position is a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time). (Step S921). The effect control CPU 120 stores the number of executions of focus change from the first focus position to the second focus position in the execution count storage area. If it is a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) (step S921; YES), the projector 32 is once returned from the first positive position to the home position and then moved to the second positive position (step S922). And the value "0" is stored in the execution count storage area as the number of executions. Specifically, the projector display control unit 213 shown in FIG. 8 controls the projector moving device 32A to return the projector 32 to the origin position. When the projector 32 is positioned at the origin position, the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is turned on, and the projector display control unit 213 stops the movement of the projector 32 based on the detection signal being turned on. Subsequently, the projector display control unit 213 causes the second number of pulse signals for advancing the projector 32 from the origin position to the second normal position (the number of step signals corresponding to the step angle in the positive direction from the origin position to the second positive position). The pulse signal is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A moves the projector 32 from the home position to the second positive position based on the input second number of pulse signals. As described above, the focal position is shifted and the image is blurred because the focal position is not accurately positioned due to the step out of the front and rear stepping motor in the projector moving device 32A for changing the focal point of the projector 32. Can be reduced. More specifically, the stepping motor can be solved by returning the projector 32 to the home position, and by changing the home position to the second positive position, the backlash of the gear of the ball screw mechanism or the like is accurate. It is possible to solve the problem of not being in focus position. Thereby, the focus change can be performed accurately.

  On the other hand, if the number is not the predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) (step S921; NO), that is, if the number of times of execution is less than four, the projector 32 moves from the first positive position to the second positive position without returning to the origin position. (Step S 923), the number of executions is incremented, and the number of executions obtained by adding “1” is stored in the number of executions storage area. The projector display control unit 213 generates a third number of pulse signals which is the number obtained by subtracting the first number from the second number, that is, the third number of pulses for moving the projector 32 from the first positive position to the second positive position A signal (a number of pulse signals corresponding to negative step angles from the first positive position to the second positive position) is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A directly moves the projector 32 from the first positive position to the second positive position based on the input third number of pulse signals. As described above, when the predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) is not reached, the projector 32 is moved from the first normal position to the second normal position without returning to the origin position. That is, since the projector 32 is not always returned from the first positive position to the home position and moved to the second positive position, it is possible to prevent the ball screw mechanism from being overloaded more than necessary.

  After step S922 or after step S923, the process of changing focus (from main to special) is ended.

  Referring back to FIG. 28, after execution of step S905 or when it is not the special screen rising period (step S903; NO), the effect control CPU 120 selects the special screen according to the period during which the special screen 205A is stopped at the top. It is determined whether it is the uppermost stage stop period (step S908). When it is determined that it is the special screen top row stop period (step S908), the effect control CPU 120 displays the special screen reach effect on the special screen 205A and executes it (step S907).

  After execution of step S 907 or when it is not the special screen top row stop period (step S 908; NO), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is the special screen descent period according to the descent period of the special screen 205 A. It determines (step S908). If it is determined that the special screen falling period is in progress (step S 908; YES), the effect control CPU 120 causes the projector 32 to project a predetermined image (step S 909). The predetermined image may be an image projected in step S904 or may be an image different from this image. Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 executes a focus change (from special to main) process of causing the projector 32 to project a predetermined image and changing the focus of the image to be projected from the special screen 205A to the main screen 5 (step S910). That is, the focus is adjusted according to the screen 5.

  In this focus change (from special to main) processing, as shown in FIG. 30, it is determined whether the number of executions of focus change from the second focus position to the first focus position is a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time). (Step S931). The effect control CPU 120 also stores the number of times of execution of focus change from the second focus position to the first focus position in the execution number storage area. If it is a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) (step S 931; YES), the projector 32 is once returned from the second normal position to the home position and then moved to the first normal position (step S 932). And the value "0" is stored in the execution count storage area as the number of executions. Specifically, the projector display control unit 213 shown in FIG. 8 controls the projector moving device 32A to return the projector 32 to the origin position. When the projector 32 is positioned at the origin position, the detection signal from the origin position sensor 32B is turned on, and the projector display control unit 213 stops the movement of the projector 32 based on the detection signal being turned on. Subsequently, the projector display control unit 213 performs a first number of pulse signals (a number corresponding to a step angle in a positive direction from the origin position to the first positive position) for advancing the projector 32 from the origin position to the first positive position. The pulse signal is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A moves the projector 32 from the home position to the first positive position based on the input first number of pulse signals. As described above, the focal position is shifted and the image is blurred because the focal position is not accurately positioned due to the step out of the front and rear stepping motor in the projector moving device 32A for changing the focal point of the projector 32. Can be reduced. More specifically, the stepping motor can be solved by returning the projector 32 to the home position, and by changing from the home position to the first positive position, the backlash or the like of the gear of the ball screw mechanism is accurate. It is possible to solve the problem of not being in focus position. Thereby, the focus change can be performed accurately.

  On the other hand, if it is not the predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) (step S 931; NO), that is, if the number of times of execution is less than four, the projector 32 moves from the second normal position to the first normal position (Step S933), the number of executions is incremented, and the number of executions obtained by adding "1" is stored in the number of executions storage area. The projector display control unit 213 generates a fourth pulse signal which is the number obtained by subtracting the second number from the first number, that is, the fourth number of pulses for moving the projector 32 from the second positive position to the first positive position. A signal (a number of pulse signals corresponding to the positive step angle from the second positive position to the first positive position) is output to the projector moving device 32A. The projector moving device 32A directly moves the projector 32 from the second positive position to the first positive position based on the input fourth pulse signal. As described above, when the predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) is not reached, the projector 32 is moved from the second normal position to the first normal position without returning to the origin position. That is, since the projector 32 is not always returned from the second normal position to the home position and moved to the first normal position, it is possible to prevent the ball screw mechanism from being overloaded more than necessary.

  Subsequently, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the color tone change effect execution determination flag is in the on state (step S911). Then, if the color tone change effect execution determination flag is in the on state (step S 911; YES), the color tone change effect is executed (step S 912). On the other hand, if the color tone change effect execution determination flag is in the OFF state (step S911; NO), the color tone non-change effect is executed (step S913). Here, “tone change effect” means that the color tone of the projected image by the projector 32 is changed according to the movement from the set state (an example of the first position) of the special screen 205A to the storage state (an example of the second position). It is an effect that On the other hand, the “color tone non-change effect” is an effect that does not change the color tone of the projected image by the projector 32 according to the movement of the special screen 205A. In this embodiment, when the execution of the tone non-change effect is determined, the tone change effect is not executed.

  For example, in the variable display start setting process (S171) shown in FIG. Here, in the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines a final stop symbol or the like to be a finalized decorative symbol as a variable display result of the decorative symbol. Based on the variable display content, such as the change pattern indicated by the change pattern designation command transmitted from the main substrate 11 and the variable display result indicated by the variable display result notification command, the effect control CPU 120 performs the final stop symbol decide. For example, the variable display contents according to the combination of the fluctuation pattern and the variable display result include "non reach (loss)", "reach (loss)", "non probability change (big hit)", "probability change (big hit)", etc. is there. If the special pattern display result is "loss", the CPU 120 for effect control determines the combination of the finalized design symbol forming the final stop symbol constituting the non-reach combination if the variation pattern is the non-reach variation pattern, and the non-reach If it is not a fluctuation pattern, the combination of the finalized design which becomes the final stop design which constitutes a reach combination is determined. On the other hand, when the special figure display result is "big hit", the combination of the finalized design which will be the final stop design constituting the big hit combination is determined. In this case, the decorative symbols having the same symbol number to be stopped and displayed on the left, middle, and right in the display area of the image display device 5 are determined. . The effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, numerical data indicating random number values for decorative symbol determination of each combination updated by the effect random counter or the like provided in the predetermined region of the random number circuit 124 or the RAM 122. The various finalized decorative designs may be determined by referring to the decorative design determination table of each combination stored and prepared. In the case where the fluctuation pattern is a pseudo continuous fluctuation pattern, the effect control CPU 120 also determines a combination of decorative symbols (temporary stop symbols) to be displayed temporarily. For example, after the determination of such a final stop design, the CPU 120 for effect control executes a process of determining whether or not to perform tone change effect when the variation pattern corresponds to the “specified super reach”. In addition, it is desirable that the big hit expectation of the fluctuation pattern in which the specific super reach effect is executed is high. For example, the big hit expectation may be high in the reach production. By doing this, the appearance of the special screen 205A can increase the player's sense of expectation.

  For example, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the color tone change effect is to be performed at a determination ratio as shown in FIG. In the determination example shown in FIG. 31, the execution ratio of the tone change effect and the tone non-change effect depending on whether the variable display result is "big hit (specified super reach)" or "loss (specified super reach)". Is defined. In the example of FIG. 31, when the color tone change effect is executed, the variable display result may be a "big hit" as compared with the case where the color tone change effect is not executed (when the color tone non-change effect is executed). It is configured to be high. Further, when the tone non-change effect is executed, the variable display result is more likely to be "lost" than when the tone change effect is executed. Since it did in this way, it can be made to pay attention to whether color tone change presentation is performed. The determination example of FIG. 31 is defined by, for example, a table stored and prepared in advance in the ROM 121, and the effect control CPU 120 determines the color tone change effect, which is updated by the random number circuit 124 or the effect random counter. Numerical data indicating numerical values are extracted, and various decisions are made by referring to the table. For example, the color tone change effect execution determination flag is provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, is set to the on state when the color tone change effect is determined to be executed, and is cleared to the off state after the execution of steps S912 and S913. .

  After execution of steps S912 and S913 or when the determination in step S908 is NO, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether it is a special screen storage period according to the period when the special screen 205A is stopped in the storage state. It determines (step S914). When it is determined that it is a special screen storage period (step S 914; YES), the effect control CPU 120 executes the winning result display effect by displaying it on the main screen 5 (step S 915). The hit result display effect is an effect that is displayed on the main screen 5 after the special screen 205A is stored, and is an effect that a big hit combination or a lost combination is displayed on the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. . After the processing in steps S915 and S902 or when it is determined that the special screen storage period is not in progress (step S914; NO), the CPU for effect control 120 ends the special screen appearance effect processing.

  Returning to the effect during variable display shown in FIG. 27, the CPU for effect control 120 corresponds to, for example, the fluctuation pattern, after step S543 or when it is determined in step S542 that it is not a special screen appearance effect period (step S542; NO) After performing the rendering operation control including the variable display operation of the decorative pattern based on the setting etc. in the special figure fluctuation time production control pattern (step S548), the variable display production process is ended.

  If the variable display time has elapsed in step S 541 (step S 541: YES), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the symbol determination command transmitted from the main substrate 11 has been received (step S 549) ). At this time, if the symbol determination command is not received (step S549; NO), the variable display effect processing is ended and the process waits. In addition, after the variable display time elapses, when the predetermined time elapses without receiving the symbol determination command, a predetermined error processing is executed in response to the failure to receive the symbol determination command normally. You may

  In step S549, when the symbol determination command is received (step S549; YES), for example, in the variable display of the decorative symbol such as transmitting a predetermined display control command to the VDP of the display control unit 123 or the like. Control is performed to derive and display the final stop symbol as the display result (step S550). Further, a predetermined time set in advance as the hit start designation command reception waiting time is set (step S551). Then, after the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3” which is a value corresponding to the special-image-per-wait process (step S 552), the variable-display effect process is ended.

  Next, an example of the special screen appearance rendering operation will be described with reference to FIG. 32 to FIG. The special screen appearance presentation is performed during the execution period of the specific super reach presentation as described above. The special screen 205A does not appear until the special screen appearance presentation is performed except for the initial operation, and is projected from the projector 32 onto the main screen 5 in the state where the special screen 205A does not appear The image to be displayed is displayed, and the focus of the image projected from the projector 32 corresponds to the main screen 5.

  FIG. 32 (A) shows a state (reach state) in which a reach is established after variable display of a decorative symbol is started. In the reach state, two decorative symbols are displayed as reach symbols at respective upper positions on the left and right of the main screen 5, and the decorative symbols are variably displayed at positions between them. The decorative symbols displayed on the left and right are common "7" symbols. Further, at the center of the main screen 5, a main character (hereinafter also referred to as "main character MC") displayed by the main character image MC is displayed. In response to the establishment of such reach, an effect corresponding to the specific super reach (specific super reach effect) is executed. The specific super reach effect is an effect including special screen reach effect and color tone change effect (or color tone non-change effect). Further, in this embodiment, when the specific super reach effect is started, the projection image from the projector 32 is displayed in the first color mode CL1 as the monochrome mode. Then, when the color tone change effect is executed, the image displayed on the main screen 5 in the projection image is displayed by the second color mode CL2 as the color mode. The color aspect in this embodiment is, for example, a combination of three primary colors and four primary colors, and also includes a full color aspect. In addition, when color tone change production is not performed (that is, when color tone non-change production is performed), it is from projector 32 until specific super reach production is finished, or until a decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, for example. The projected image remains in monochrome mode.

  When reach is established, as shown in FIG. 32 (B), the lifting frame 205F ascends on the front side of the main screen 5, and the special screen 205A gradually appears on the front side of the main screen 5. While the elevation frame 205F is elevated and the special screen 205A is set, the effect control CPU 120 focuses the image projected from the projector 32 from the focus according to the main screen 5 to the focus according to the special screen 205A. change.

  Here, while the special screen 205A is set, a part of the image projected from the projector 32 is displayed on the main screen 5, and the other part is displayed on the special screen 205A. Further, the distance from the projector 32 to the main screen 5 and the distance from the special screen 205A are different. Therefore, when the special screen 205A is set, the image projected from the projector 32 is focused even if the focus thereof corresponds to one of the main screen 5 and the special screen 205A. Because they do not match, there is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable.

  Therefore, when the special screen 205A is set, the effect control CPU 120 projects a white non-patterned predetermined image as an image projected from the projector 32, as shown in FIG. 32 (B). This predetermined image does not include an image that allows the player to recognize a predetermined shape, such as a person, a character, or a symbol. Therefore, even if the subject is not in focus, the player feels less discomfort. Further, even if the focus is changed when the predetermined image is displayed, the discomfort given to the player can be reduced. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a predetermined white non-patterned image is projected while the special screen device 205 is set (that is, advanced), or when the special screen device 205 is moving up or down. However, it is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined image with no white pattern may be projected only while the special screen device 205 advances and ascends and retracts. Moreover, not only a white non-pattern, but also a black display or a light emission mode display may be used.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 33A, the elevation frame 205F ascends and the special screen 205A appears, and the projector 32 continuously projects a predetermined image until the special screen 205A is set. Note that even after the set state, the predetermined image may be projected continuously for a predetermined period. After the special screen 205A is in the set state and projection of the predetermined image is finished, special screen reach effect as shown in FIG. 33 (B) is executed. For example, the effect may be displayed in the first color mode CL1 as a monochrome mode, and may be performed in a moving image mode in which the main character MC, another character not shown, background display, and the like are appropriately changed.

  When the special screen reach effect is finished, the lowering of the special screen 205A is started. Then, for example, immediately after the start of lowering of the special screen 205A, the focus of the image projected from the projector 32 is changed from that of the special screen 205A to that corresponding to the main screen 5. In this case, as in the case where the special screen 205A is lifted, a predetermined image may be projected from the projector 32 at the timing of changing the focus. As a result, when changing the focus, it is possible to reduce the discomfort given to the player.

  After changing the focus to one corresponding to the main screen 5, as shown in FIGS. 34 (A) and (B), the color tone change effect is executed according to the movement from the set state of the special screen 205A to the stored state. Ru. The color tone change effect is performed according to each of the special screen 205A in which the appearance area gradually narrows downward and the main screen 5 in which the exposure area gradually widens downward. Specifically, of the projected images from the projector 32, an image displayed on the special screen 205A, which is gradually narrowed, is displayed in the first color mode CL1 as a monochrome mode, and is gradually enlarged. The image displayed on 5 is displayed in a second color mode CL2 as a color mode. As described above, by changing the color tone of the projected image in conjunction with the operation of the special screen 205A, it is possible to improve the game interest. When the tone non-change effect is executed, the image projected on the main screen 5 remains unchanged as the first color mode CL1 as the monochrome mode. In this case, the images projected onto the main screen 5 and the special screen 205A remain in the same first color mode CL1. As described above, by providing a pattern for changing the color tone and a pattern for not changing the color tone, it can be noticed whether or not the color tone change effect is performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 31, the ratio in which the big hit is controlled is higher in the case where the color tone change presentation is performed than in the case where the color tone non-change presentation is performed. Therefore, it is possible to make the player more interested in whether or not the color tone change effect is executed, and it is possible to improve the game interest.

  After the special color change effect is executed with the lowering of the special screen 205A and the special screen 205A is stored, for example, as shown in FIGS. 35A and 35B, the main character MC is displayed on the special screen 205A. After being displayed, the jackpot combinations of "7", "7" and "7" are stopped and displayed. In this embodiment, the image projected on the main screen 5 shown in FIGS. 35A and 35B is a second color mode CL2 as a color mode. If the variable display result is determined to be “losing (specific super reach)”, for example, after displaying characters other than the main character MC, etc., the losing combination (reach losing combination) may be stopped and displayed. For example, in the case of a loss, after the special screen 205A is stored, an image projected on the main screen 5 shown in FIGS. It may be returned to the first color mode CL1 as. Thus, the special screen appearance presentation ends. In the case where the tone change effect is not executed (that is, when the tone non-change effect is executed), the projection image is not changed from the first color mode CL1 to the second color mode CL2, and the special screen 205A is lowered. Even in this case, the first color mode CL1 remains as the monochrome mode before the start of the lowering of the special screen 205A.

  Here, the special screen 205A is in the set state, and the effect image in the special screen reach effect to be executed as shown in FIG. 33 (B) and the color tone change effect being executed as in FIGS. 34 (A) and (B) The effect image in is the same. Specifically, the images before and after the color tone is changed by the color tone change effect may at least show the same effect contents. The images showing the same effect contents are, for example, icon images and characters in the images before and after the color tone is changed by the color tone change effect, as shown in FIG. 33 (B) and FIG. 34 (A) (B). The image (here, the main character MC) may be common, or the background pattern (pattern of the background image, etc.) may be common. In addition, without using a common image, the story in the special super reach effect and the special screen reach effect is taken over even during the tone change effect, so the images before and after the tone is changed by the tone change effect The same effect contents may be shown. Further, in this embodiment, the tone change effect can be executed while the specific super reach effect is in progress, and the color tone change effect is executed in the process in which the video (moving image) progresses according to the effect. As the effect image is displayed in the still image mode during execution of the color tone change effect, the images before and after the color tone is changed by the color tone change effect may be completely the same except that the color tone is different. In the above, the projection image is displayed in the first color mode CL1 as the monochrome mode when the special screen 205A is in the set state, and is projected onto the main screen 5 gradually exposed as the special screen 205A descends. Although the example which made the image to be 2nd color aspect CL2 as a color aspect was demonstrated, you may make it change from a color aspect to a monochrome aspect. That is, when the special screen 205A is in the set state, the projection image is displayed in the first color mode CL1 as a color mode, and the image projected on the main screen gradually exposed as the special screen 205A descends is monochrome The second color mode CL2 may be used as the mode.

  Further, the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2 are not limited to those in which one is a monochrome mode and the other is a color mode. Various modes can be adopted for the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2, as long as the player can make a difference that can be recognized as "the color tone or the color tone has changed". For example, one of the first color aspect CL1 and the second color aspect CL2 may be a color aspect and the other may be a single color aspect (for example, an aspect represented by gradation in a single color (such as red)) that is not monochrome. . Also, one of the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2 may be monochrome and the other may not be monochrome, or one may be monochrome with one side being red and the other may be a single color mode with one side being blue. (In other words, the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2 may be different single color modes). Also, one of the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2 may be a color mode or a monochrome mode, and the other may be a sepia mode. Also, one and the other of the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2 may have a negative-positive inversion relationship. In addition, since one or the other of the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2 is different in at least one of the saturation, the lightness and the contrast, a difference which makes it possible for the player to recognize the change of the color tone You may put it out.

  Further, in the color tone change effect, not all of the images projected on the main screen 5 gradually exposed may not be displayed in the second color mode CL2. That is, in the color tone change effect, at least a part of the image projected onto the main screen 5 may be displayed in the second color mode CL2. For example, for an image showing important information in the game, the first color mode CL1 is not changed to the second color mode CL2, and the tone change effect is executed for the other images, and the second color mode CL2 It is also good. For example, for a decorative symbol (the numeral “7” in FIGS. 34A and 34B), a so-called fourth symbol, and a right-handed notification image when the big winning opening is on the right side of the game area, etc. Instead of changing to the two-color mode CL2, the first-color mode CL1 may be left as it is, and a tone change effect may be performed on the main character MC or the background image to obtain the second color mode CL2. That is, the color pattern may not be changed even at the time of color tone change presentation about the decorative design and the like. In this way, it is possible to reduce the odd feeling that the image showing the important information in the game changes. Conversely, the character image such as the main character MC and the background image are kept in the first color mode CL1 without changing to the second color mode CL2, and the color tone change effect is produced for an image showing important information in the game such as a decorative pattern The second color mode CL2 may be performed to give the player a surprise and improve the interest. In addition, a projected image (see FIG. 32A) displayed on the main screen 5 at the start of specific super reach effect production, and a projected image displayed on the special screen 205A at start of special screen reach effect production (figure All of 33 (B) may not be the first color mode CL1. At least a part of these projection images may be the first color mode CL1.

  Further, an area (important display area) for displaying an image indicating important information in the game may be provided in advance at an end (for example, an upper end) of the main screen 5 or the like. FIG. 33 shows an example in which the elevating frame 205F reaches the upper end of the main screen 5 and the special screen 205A reaches the upper end of the main screen 5 when the special screen 205A is set, for example, the special screen 205A An area not covered by the special screen 205A may be provided even in the set state, and the area may be set as the important display area. In this way, since the image showing important information in the game is displayed on the main screen 5 without being influenced by the behavior of the special screen 205A, a sense of security can be given to the player, which is user friendly. is there.

  Further, during execution of the color tone change effect shown in FIGS. 34 (A) and (B), an intermediate color aspect between the first color aspect CL1 and the second color aspect CL2 is set for the area near the lifting frame 205F For example, the blurring process may be performed on the color calculated by averaging the color coordinates in the first color mode CL1 and the color coordinates in the second color mode CL2. In this way, even if a deviation occurs between the movement control of the special screen 205A and the image control by the tone change effect due to some problem, the deviation can be made inconspicuous.

  In the above, an example was described in which the projected image at the start of the specific super reach effect starts, for example, the first color mode CL1 as a monochrome mode. However, when the special color is changed to the first color mode CL1 according to the start of the special screen reach effect, the image projected on the main screen 5 which is gradually exposed is set as the second color mode CL2, etc. You may In addition, the image projected on the main screen 5 after the tone change effect is executed and the special screen 205A is in the storage state may be the second color mode CL2 or may be returned to the first color mode CL1. May be

  Further, in the above, an example of changing the focus of the image projected from the projector 32 from the focus according to the special screen 205A to the focus according to the main screen 5 before the tone change presentation (or tone non-change presentation) is performed. Although (see step S 910 in FIG. 28) has been described, the focus may be changed according to the main screen 5 during or after the execution of color tone change presentation. For example, when the special screen 205 is stored and the main screen 5 is completely exposed according to the timing at which the main screen 5 is completely exposed, the effect that the blurred projected image becomes sharp sharply by suddenly changing to the focus according to the main screen 5 Can give the player a surprise because it can bring In addition, by intentionally omitting predetermined image projection (see step S 909 in FIG. 28) immediately after the start of descent of the special screen 205A, blurring due to an out-of-focus condition is regarded as one aspect of the effect, and surprises the player. Good. Similarly, the projection process of the predetermined image in step S909 may be omitted.

  Further, although the example in which the color tone change presentation is performed when the special screen 205A moves (falls) from the set state to the storage state has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto. When the special screen 205A moves (rises) from the stored state to the set state, a color tone change effect may be performed. In addition, the tone change effect may be performed both when the special screen 205A descends and when it ascends. In this case, there is provided an effect pattern capable of producing a color tone change effect when the special screen 205A descends from the set state to the accommodated state, and an effect pattern capable of producing a color tone change effect when ascending from the accommodated state to the set state. Improve the fun of the game by making the proportion controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state etc.) higher when direction according to the other effect pattern is executed rather than one effect pattern May be

  In the above embodiment, in the special screen appearance effect, the lifting frame 205F provided in the special screen device 205 performs only one reciprocating vertical movement, and the special screen 205A is set once, but the lifting frame The 205F may move up and down twice or more. Also, even when the lifting frame 205F is between the highest position and the lowest position, the lifting frame may be stopped or the moving direction in the vertical direction may be changed. The special screen 205A is also movable between the first specific position and the second specific position in the set state, the storage state, and the section, and one of the first specific position and the second specific position of the special screen 205A. In accordance with the movement from one to the other, it may be possible to execute tone change presentation. That is, the color tone change effect is not limited to the movement from one to the other of the set state where the special screen 205A is at the highest position and the storage state where the special screen 205A is at the lowest position.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the special screen 205A appears from the lower side by raising the lifting frame 205F, but may appear from another direction. For example, by lowering the lowering frame, a special screen may appear from above, or a special screen may appear from the left and right sides. In addition, fragments of the special screen may appear from a plurality of directions among these or directions including the other directions, and may be combined in front of the main screen to make the special screen appear. Alternatively, the special screen may be made to appear by retracting the main screen 5 in any of the upper, lower, left, and right directions. At this time, the main screen may be divided into a plurality of pieces, which may be retracted in different directions or in the same direction so that the special screen appears. Even in such a case, color tone change effects can be performed according to the movement of the special screen 205A.

  In the above-described gaming machine 1, the special screen appearance presentation in which the special screen 205A appears is executed in the specific super reach presentation when the specific super reach fluctuation pattern is determined. When specific super reach production is performed, the jackpot expectation level becomes high. In this manner, since the special screen appearance presentation is executed in the specific super reach presentation with a high hit probability, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, in order to execute the special screen appearance presentation, it is a condition that the special screen 205A operates properly. Therefore, in the special screen appearance presentation, the special screen reach presentation is performed when the special screen 205A rises, and the special screen non-appearance presentation is performed when the special screen 205A does not rise. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a defect from appearing in the image projected on the main screen 5 by performing the focusing while the special screen 205A is not operating normally.

  Further, in the above-described gaming machine 1, it is possible to execute normal operation confirmation processing (processing to execute a long initial operation) for confirming the normal operation of the special screen 205A when the power is turned on. At this time, during execution of the normal operation check process, an image focused in accordance with the special screen 205A is projected based on the normal operation of the special screen 205A. For this reason, it can be confirmed that the focusing control is operating normally.

  Further, although a flat image display area is formed on the special screen 205A, a three-dimensional image display area like the main screen 5 may be formed. Further, in the special screen, the three-dimensional image display area may be moved relative to the image display area on the plane.

  Further, the contrast of the lower part of the image displayed in the image display area 5X is high (dark). In the lower part of the image display area 5X, the distance from the projector 32 is longer than the upper part of the image display area 5X. Therefore, the image displayed in the image display area 5X has a large impression of being blurred as compared with the image displayed above the image display area 5X. Therefore, by making the contrast in the lower part of the image displayed in the image display area 5X high (dark), blurring of the image displayed in the image display area 5X is softened. As a result, image representation can be suitably performed. When adjusting the color tone of the image projected from the projector 32, the contrast may be adjusted, or another adjustment method may be used.

  Further, a color correction filter 28F is disposed between the projector 32 and the image display area 5X. Therefore, image representation can be suitably performed. In the gaming machine 1 described above, the color correction filter 28F is provided on the surface of the reflection mirror 28. However, if the image (light) emitted from the projector 32 passes through, the color correction filter 28F is reflected You may provide in positions other than 28 surfaces. For example, it may be provided outside the lens in the projector 32 or may be provided on the surface of the main screen 5. Alternatively, it may be provided on the surface of the special screen 205A. In other words, the color correction filter 28F may be disposed between the projector 32 and the reflection mirror 28, or even between the reflection mirror 28 and the screen (the main screen 5 and the special screen 205A). Good.

  By providing the color correction filter 28F on the surface of the main screen 5 or the surface of the special screen 205A, the contrast of the image displayed on one of the main screen 5 or the special screen 205A can be easily enhanced. Further, the color correction filter 28F can perform correction of color tone, but may be capable of adjusting another element of the three attributes of color, such as hue. Further, instead of the color correction filter 28F, characteristics other than the three attributes of color in the image projected from the projector 32 may be adjusted, or the three attributes of color may be appropriately combined and adjusted.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. In the above embodiment, when the number of times of execution of the focus change from the first focus position to the second focus position is a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) (see step S921 in FIG. 29) If the number of executions after the focus has been changed to the position is a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time) (see step S931 in FIG. 30), the projector 32 is temporarily returned to the home position and then moved to the first positive position or the second positive position Although it does not limit to this. For example, the projector 32 is temporarily set based on only one of the number of executions of focus change from the first focus position to the second focus position and the number of executions of focus change from the second focus position to the first focus position. It may be made to move to the first positive position or the second positive position after returning to the origin position. Although the focus change in the focus change process (steps S1530 and S1539) in the initial operation A execution process (step S1512) shown in FIG. 24 is not included in the number of executions, it may be included. In addition, when the time measured by the real time counter has passed a predetermined time (for example, 2 pm, 5 pm, 8 o'clock) or the time measurement is started after the power is turned on and the measured time is a predetermined time (for example 2 In the special screen appearance rendering process (step S543), the projector 32 is temporarily returned to the home position and then moved to the first normal position or the second normal position. You may make it move. In addition, when the effect control board 12 receives a predetermined command (for example, a customer wait command or a big hit ending command) from the main board 11, the projector 32 is once returned to the home position, and then the first normal position or the second positive position is received. It may be moved to a position. In these cases, the focus change can be performed at a timing (period) that does not look strange from the player etc., and the focus change can be performed accurately when there is no sense of incongruity for the player. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 36A and FIG. 37, the projector 32 may be once returned to the home position in the specific super reach and then moved to the first normal position or the second normal position as in the modified example 1 shown in FIG. In the modified example 1 shown in FIG. 36 (A), in the specified super reach, the first specific effect (pre-reach effect) and the second specific effect (during in-reach effect) are at a predetermined determination ratio (for example, 80% for the former, the latter) Is feasible at 20%). As shown in FIG. 37A, in the focus change (main to special) process (step S905), it is determined whether or not it is an execution period of the first specific effect (pre-reach effect) (step S941), If it is the execution period of the first specific effect (pre-reach effect) (step S941; Yes), the projector 32 is moved from the first normal position to the second normal position without returning to the origin position (step S942) , This focus change (main to special) processing ends. On the other hand, when it is not the execution period of the first specified effect (demonstration before reach) (step S941; No), it is judged whether it is the execution period of the second specified effect (demonstration during reach) (step S943). 2) If it is the execution period of the specific effect (during in-reach effect) (step S943; Yes), the projector 32 is returned from the first normal position to the origin position and then moved to the second normal position (step S944) Finish the focus change (main to special) processing. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 37B, in the focus change (from special to main) processing (step S 910), it is determined whether or not it is the end period of the first specific effect (pre-reach effect) (step When it is the end period of the first specific effect (pre-reach effect) (step S951; Yes), the projector 32 is moved from the second normal position to the first normal position without returning the projector 32 to the original position (S951). Step S952), this focus change (from special to main) processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is not the end period of the first specified effect (demonstration before reach) (step S951; No), it is determined whether it is the end period of the second specified effect (demonstration during reach) (step S953), 2) If it is the end period of the specific effect (during in-reach effect) (step S953; Yes), the projector 32 is returned from the second normal position to the origin position and then moved to the first normal position (step S954). End the process of changing focus (from special to main).

  According to the first modification, when it is necessary to quickly change the focus as in the first specific effect (pre-reach effect), the second positive position can be obtained from the first positive position without returning to the home position. By moving it to the next position or moving it from the second normal position to the first normal position, it is possible to cope with a rapid focus change. The first specific effect (pre-reach effect) has a short execution period (for example, it is desirable to surprise the player), so the projector 32 is not returned to the home position, and the first normal position to the second normal position. Preferably, it is moved to the second normal position from the second normal position. On the other hand, in the second specific effect (during reaching), the projector 32 is temporarily returned to the origin position and moved to the first positive position or the second positive position, whereby the gear back of the ball screw mechanism in the projector moving device 32A is It is possible to solve the problem of not being in the correct focus position by the rush etc. Thereby, the focus change can be performed accurately. In addition, since the second specific effect (during in-reach effect) has a long execution period, it is easy to ensure that the projector 32 is once returned to the origin position and moved to the first positive position or the second positive position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 36 (B), the first specific effect (pre-reach effect), the second specific effect (during in-reach effect), and the first specific effect (reach) for the specific super reach. Both of the pre-production) and the second specific presentation (during in-reach) may be executable at a predetermined determination ratio (for example, 70% for the former, 20% for the middle person, and 10% for the latter). In addition, it is assumed that only one of the first specific effect (pre-reach effect) or the second specific effect (during in-reach effect) can be produced as the specific super reach, and the projector 32 is once returned to the origin position during such a production period. (1) It may be moved to the normal position or the second normal position. In addition, it is possible to execute in reach production other than specified super reach, it is possible to execute in the big hit production, the promotion production (probability change promotion production, the big hit promotion production and the like) etc as the production other than the reach production.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 38A, in the focus change (main to special) processing in the initial operation A execution processing of the third modification, the projector 32 is returned from the first normal position to the origin position, and then the second You may make it move to a normal position (step S981). For example, if the number of times the focus change execution has been performed since the last calibration is the predetermined number of memories, the projector 32 is returned from the first normal position to the origin position and then moved to the second normal position. The projector 32 may be moved from the first normal position to the second normal position without returning the projector 32 to the home position. As shown in FIG. 38 (B), in the focus change (special to main) process in the initial operation A execution process of the third modification, the projector 32 is returned from the second normal position to the origin position, and then the first normal position is performed. (Step S982). For example, if the number of times of execution storage of focus change from the time of the last calibration is a predetermined number of memories, the projector 32 is returned from the second normal position to the origin position and then moved to the first normal position; The projector 32 may be moved from the second normal position to the first normal position without returning the projector 32 to the home position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 38C, the same focus return process of the projector 32 may be executed in the demonstration initial operation execution process of the fourth modification. In the demonstration initial operation execution process of the fourth modification, it is determined whether the initial operation execution completion flag is ON (step S10141). If the initial operation completed flag is off (step S10141; No), the initial operation completed flag is turned on (step S10142), and the projector 32 at the first positive position is once returned to the home position, and then the same first positive one is performed. The position may be returned (step S11001). Further, in step S11001, the projector 32 in the second normal position may be returned to the original position and then returned to the same second normal position. According to this, by returning the projector 32 to the home position once and returning it to the first positive position or the second positive position, the focus position of the ball screw mechanism in the projector moving device 32A does not come to an accurate focus position. Can solve Thereby, the focus change can be performed accurately. Further, when the predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the number of times of execution of the focus change has reached a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time)), the predetermined time or predetermined time has elapsed. In the case where a specific effect (for example, a specific super reach) is executed, it may be performed in a predetermined command (for example, when a customer waiting command or a big hit ending command).

  For example, when the effect image is projected from the projector 32 so as to straddle the hold display area 5H or the current display area 5K, such as an effect in which the effect image acts on the hold display, the projected hold display area 5H or the current display area The effect image may not be projected on at least a part of 5K. For example, as shown in FIGS. 39 (A) and 39 (B), when performing an effect such that an arrow image acts on the protruding current display area 5K, the arrow image is displayed on the current display area 5K. Instead of displaying, the display area 5K may be displayed such that the arrow penetrates this time. By doing this, it is possible to prevent the image from being distorted and causing a sense of incongruity by projecting the image across the protruding portion. In this case, an image corresponding to the current display area 5K (such as the same color as the display color of the hold display LED 34) may be projected on the current display area 5K.

  In addition, the amount of projection of the hold display area 5H or the current display area 5K changes in response to the other movable members acting on the hold display area 5H or the current display area 5K. The hold display area 5H and the current display area 5K may be changed in conjunction with each other.

  In the above embodiment, the character images MC, SC1, and SC2 are mainly displayed in the central three-dimensional display area 5BC, the right three-dimensional display area 5BR, and the left three-dimensional display area 5BL. The decorative design is variably displayed in the display area 5BUR and the upper left three-dimensional display area 5BUL, but as shown in FIG. May be variably displayed, and each character image MC, SC1, SC2 may be mainly displayed in the upper middle three-dimensional display area 5BUC, the upper right three-dimensional display area 5BUR, and the upper left three-dimensional display area 5BUL. By doing this, the decorative design can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner.

  Further, in the above embodiment, in the overall adjustment of the adjustment image 45, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, any adjustment item (X, Y in the embodiment) in the color display of the adjustment image 45 The display 5 is displayed on the screen 5 in such a manner that it can be identified as either of the movement adjustment in the direction and the rotation adjustment, but is not limited thereto. For example, instead of or in addition to the color display of the adjustment image 45, character display such as “movement adjustment in the X and Y directions”, “rotation adjustment”, voice notification, or the like may be performed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the markers PS1 to PS13 are provided in the stereoscopic display area 5B of the screen 5, but the planar display area 5A (for example, a plane near the stereoscopic display area 5B) which is a peripheral area of the stereoscopic display area 5B. It may be provided at an arbitrary place or the like in the display area 5A.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, one marker is provided for each three-dimensional display area 5B of the screen 5, but two or more markers may be provided. For example, in the case of projecting and displaying an image of an aspect in which the outer shapes serving as motifs are different in one stereoscopic display area 5B, alignment can be performed for each of the images in different aspects. The marker PS1 of the screen 5 shown in FIG. 10 is a marker indicating the central point (reference point) of the screen 5, and the marker PS11 is an alignment marker of the central three-dimensional display area 5BC. It is added that it differs from what provides two or more markers here.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 41A in partial adjustment of the adjustment image 45, divided adjustment images 45a to 45i (for example, partial adjustment image 45f in FIG. 41A) constituting the adjustment image 45 Although it is moved as it is, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (B), divided adjusted images 45a to 45i (for example, partially adjusted image 45f in FIG. 41 (B)) are composed of images of the main image area MS and its outer peripheral area OS, Even if the displacement X1 of the main image MS1 in the main image area MS is larger than the displacement X2 of the outer peripheral area image OS1 in the outer peripheral area OS, the image displacement may be different depending on the area. Good. Further, the aspect of the division adjustment image 45f may be changed and adjusted by, for example, changing the line of sight in the elevation direction to the polygon according to the division adjustment image 45f. For example, if the division adjustment image 45f is a human face, it changes from a state looking down from the front (a face with a large forehead displayed) to a state looking front (a face seen from the front) and further looking up from the front Change to a state (a face with a large jaw).

  In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the amount of projection (length) of reservation display area 5H differs according to a reservation number, it may be made to differ in the projection area and the shape (circle and square) to project. The projecting area and projecting shape (round or square) of the reserved display area 5H and the current display area 5K may be different. For example, the smaller the holding number is, the larger the projecting area may be, and the projecting area of the display area 5K this time may be the largest.

  In the above embodiment, when the hold display LED 34 emits light, the projector 32 projects the same color, but the projector 32 projects a normal image (variable display or various effect images). You may That is, the hold display may be displayed only by the light emission of the hold display LED 34 or the hold display advance notice may be executed.

  In addition, when the hold display LED 34 emits light, the projector 32 may also project a different color. In this case, the color of the pending display may be adjusted by the light emission color of the pending display LED 34 and the color projected from the projector 32. In this case, at least a part of the hold display LED 34 may be configured by a single color LED. By using a single color LED, the cost can be reduced. In addition, when the hold display LED 34 can not emit light due to a failure or a defect, the hold display may be displayed only by the projection from the projector 32. In this case, the holding display LED 34 may be provided with detection means for detecting a failure or a defect, and control may be performed to display the holding display only by the projection from the projector 32 when the failure or the defect is detected.

  Also, when the hold display LED 34 is not on, the projection from the projector 32 to the hold display area 5H is not executed, but the projection from the projector 32 is not completely executed, For example, the type of the image to be projected may be limited, for example, by stopping the projection of the color used for the hold display.

  Further, the range in which the image is projected from the projector 32 to the screen 5 may be varied depending on whether or not a game is being played. For example, in order to perform effects on a large screen during a game, while projecting an image on the entire screen 5 while displaying a demonstration screen in which a game is not being executed, the projection range is reduced overall You may control to project an image on a part. Since the hold display LED 34 does not light up while the demonstration screen is displayed, the image may be projected below the hold display area 5 H of the screen 5.

  Further, the vicinity of the hold display LED 34 may be projected so that the light emission color of the hold display LED 34 is prominent. For example, when the hold display LED 34 is turned on, the projector 32 may be controlled to make the color in the vicinity different from the light emission color of the hold display LED 34 or to decrease the brightness in the vicinity. Further, when the hold display LED 34 lights up, a color complementary to the light emission color of the hold display LED 34 may be projected near the hold display LED 34 so that the light emission color of the hold display LED 34 becomes prominent. By doing this, it is possible to make the light emission color (pending display) of the pending display LED 34 stand out, and it is possible to make the pending display notice easy to understand.

  In addition, a shielding unit that shields the projection from the projector 32 to the hold display area 5H (the current display area 5K) may be provided above the hold display area 5H (the current display area 5K). By doing this, it is possible to prevent an unintended shadow from being generated and a drop in the visibility of the projected image being caused by the light being projected onto the projecting reserved display area 5H (the current display area 5K). The shielding means may be housed in the screen 5 or the like to shield the projection onto the hold display area 5H (the current display area 5K) as necessary. For example, when the reserved display area 5H (the current display area 5K) protrudes, the shielding unit may be operated to shield the protruding portion.

  Other than partial adjustment according to FIG. 15 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 42A, adjustment of a specific part so that an image displayed in an important area such as the center in the image display area 5X is displayed in the area May be performed. Here, the important area may include, for example, an area in which a stereoscopic display area 5B or a specific image (a specific information image or a complete display request image) is displayed. In addition, each image is an image displayed when various effects are performed, and in adjustment of a specific part, for example, a character or the like is reliably displayed in an image display area such as the stereoscopic display area 5B. Adjustments are made by the VDP 262. When performing adjustment of a specific part, some sample images are prepared from various images, and adjustment is performed so that a specific image included in this sample image is displayed in a predetermined display area such as a stereoscopic display area. Do.

  The VDP 262 divides the real drawing area 262A as shown in FIG. The actual drawing area 262A includes a central specified divided area 262B and a non-specified divided area 262C around the specified divided area 262B. Among these, the specific divided area 262B and the non-specific divided area 262C can be converted independently. With the division of the actual drawing area 262A, the original image data stored in the actual drawing area 262A is similarly divided. Further, the display image corresponding to the display image data stored in the specific divided area 262B is a specific part, and the display image corresponding to the display image data stored in the non-specific divided area 262C is a nonspecific part other than the specific part . The specific divided area 262B may include a heavy area such as a stereoscopic display area 5B or an area where a specific image (a specific information image or a complete display request image) is displayed.

  The polygons of the specified divided area 262B are divided into polygons finer than the non-specified divided area 262C. As shown in FIG. 42A, in the image display area 5X, original image data or display image data (hereinafter, also referred to as "original image data etc.") stored in the specific divided area 262B at the center of the actual drawing area 262A. A specific display area 35T in which the image of is displayed is set, and a nonspecific display area 35U in which an image such as original image data stored in the nonspecific divided area 262C is displayed is set around the specific display area 35T. An image display area 5X is formed by the specific display area 35T and the nonspecific display area 35U.

  As shown in FIG. 42A, when the image displayed in the specific display area 35T matches the predetermined area, adjustment of the original image data and the like stored in the specific divided area 262B is unnecessary. On the other hand, when the image displayed in the specific display area 35T does not fit the predetermined area, the original image data etc. stored in the specific divided area 262B are adjusted. When the original image data and the like stored in the specific divided area 262B are adjusted, the positions of the four corners in the non-specific display area 35U around the specific display area 35T are not changed as shown in FIG. The original image data and the like in the specific divided area 262B are sequentially converted and adjusted.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 43, the polygons in the specific divided area 262B are made finer than the polygons in the non-specific divided area 262C. For this reason, it is possible to finely adjust the specific part when performing alignment or the like in the specific divided area 262B. In addition, polygons are roughly set for the non-specified divided area 262C. The information displayed in the non-specific display area 35U is less important than the information displayed in the specific display area 35T, so the processing load of the processing can be increased by enlarging the polygons in the area where the less important information is displayed. Can be reduced.

  To adjust the specified divided area 262B, as shown in FIG. 44A, after adjusting the non-specified divided area 262C except for the specified divided area 262B, the adjustment of the specified divided area 262B is performed. You may Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 44 (B), after the specified divided area 262B and the non-specified divided area 262C are adjusted together, the adjustment for the specified divided area 262B may be performed.

  Thus, when adjustment of the specific part is performed as necessary, as shown in FIG. 42C, characters are displayed and focus adjustment is performed again. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42D, a predetermined confirmation image (target image) is displayed on the image display area 5X, and final confirmation of the image is performed. After the final confirmation is performed, the adjustment of the display image is completed.

  Further, in the above-described gaming machine 1, the original image data etc stored in the specific divided area 262B corresponding to the specific part of the image displayed on the screen 5 and the non-specific part of the image displayed on the screen 5 The original image data and the like stored in the nonspecific divided area 262C can be adjusted independently. For this reason, with respect to the original image data and the like stored in the specific divided area 262B, it is possible to adjust the specific part independently of the original image data stored in the non-specific divided area 262C. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of image distortion in a specific part.

  The adjustment of the original image data and the like stored in the specific divided area 262B is performed after the adjustment of the original image data and the like stored in the non-specific divided area 262C. For this reason, after the adjustment is performed on the entire non-specific divided area 262C, the adjustment on the partial specific divided area 262B is performed. Therefore, the display image can be adjusted efficiently.

  Further, in the specific divided area 262B and the non-specific divided area 262C, the original image data is divided into a plurality of parts and converted. Therefore, the display image can be finely adjusted. In particular, the specified divided area 262B is divided into smaller parts than the non-specified divided area 262C. Therefore, the display image corresponding to the specific divided area 262B can be adjusted more finely.

  Further, the specific part is an image displayed in the stereoscopic display area 5B of the display image. In the three-dimensional display area 5B, a characteristic effect is often performed more than the flat display area 5A, and therefore, the portion with high importance in the effect display is obtained. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of distortion of the image in the stereoscopic display area 5B having such a high degree of importance.

  In the above embodiment, the hold display LED 34 is provided as the light emitting means on the screen 5 (the part to be projected by the projector 32), but another light emitting means may be provided. For example, a so-called fourth symbol may be displayed on the screen 5 by a light emitting means such as an LED, which indicates the fluctuation state of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B. In addition, the screen 5 may be provided with light emitting means for other effects.

  In the above embodiment, the part (specific area) of the screen 5 for displaying the hold display or the current display as the specific information on the game is projected forward of the flat display area 5A (the player side). The specific information on the game is not limited to this, and the specific information may be a decorative symbol, a fourth symbol, a notice image, a right hit notification image when the big winning opening is on the right side of the game area, or the like. That is, the portion displaying the decorative symbol, the fourth symbol, the advance notice image, and the right-handed notice image may be projected to the player side from other portions. A plurality of projecting specific areas for displaying such specific information may be provided. Then, at least a part of the plurality of specific areas may have a variable protrusion amount. For example, the specific area may be protruded only when specific information is displayed in the specific area.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 45A, a button image BGA indicating the cross button 31E may be displayed at the time of partial adjustment. In FIG. 45A, the button image BGA is displayed in the divided adjusted image 45f to be adjusted. For this reason, a worker or the like can easily operate the cross button 31E at the time of partial adjustment. In addition, the button image BGA may be displayed at the time of overall adjustment, or the display position or the display mode may be different in adjustment items (for example, movement adjustment in the X and Y directions, rotation adjustment, partial adjustment, etc.) You may When the button image BGA is displayed at the time of the overall adjustment, the display mode of the button image BGA itself may not be changed even if the adjustment image 45 is rotated or the like. In addition, the button image BGA may be displayed at different positions or displayed in different modes in the overall adjustment and the partial adjustment. In addition, the button image BGA may not be displayed at the time of the overall adjustment or the partial adjustment.

  In the above embodiment, the markers PS1 to PS13 are provided at the positions shown in FIG. 10A of the screen 5, but may be provided at other positions. For example, it may be provided in each of the flat display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B, or a flat display surrounded by a specific position in the flat display area 5A, for example, the central position of the flat display area or the stereoscopic display area 5B. It may be provided at a predetermined position of the area or the like. Further, it may be provided in a characteristic portion in the stereoscopic display area 5B, for example, a portion where the face of the character is displayed, or may be provided in the boundary between the planar display area 5A and the stereoscopic display area 5B. Also, the marker is not limited to a circular shape or a point shape (see FIG. 10A), but may be, for example, a predetermined shape such as a straight line, a curved line, a cross shape, a V shape, a polygon such as a regular hexagon, or an ellipse. It may be Further, as shown in FIG. 45 (B), at least a part of the outer shape of the stereoscopic display area 5B (for example, the outer end, the groove, the recess, etc.) is a marker as an alignment target (FIG. 45 (B) It may be a marker PS11).

  In the above embodiment, only workers other than the player can adjust the projection (positioning of the adjusted image 45), but the player may adjust the projection. The projection adjustment by the player is such that when the game is over (for example, the player leaves the seat), the projection adjustment by the player is automatically returned to the initial adjustment, or the projection adjustment range by the player is limited. You may

(A1) The gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) 1 described above is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and a projection unit (projector 32) for projecting an image, and a projection target on which an image is projected from the projection unit A first projection member (for example, the screen 5) and a second projection member (for example, the special member) (for example, the screen 5 and the special screen 205A); And the projection unit can project an image according to the first focal length according to the first projection target member (for example, in a state where the projector 32 is positioned at the first correct position). Project an image on the screen 5), and can project the image according to the second focal length according to the second projected member (eg, position the projector 32 at The image is projected onto the special screen 205A in a state where it is made different, and the original point position (for example, the projector 32 shown in FIG. 13C) which becomes the origin point as the focal length unlike the first focal length and the second focal length. And changing the focal length from the first focal length to the original position when changing the focal length from the first projected member to the second projected member, and The focal length can be changed by changing to two focal lengths (for example, the effect control CPU 120 performs step S922 in FIG. 29, step S944 in FIG. 37A, and step S981 in FIG. 38A). , Etc. by changing the focal length by performing processing, etc.). Since this is done, it is possible to reduce the problem that the focus position is shifted and the image is blurred by not being accurately aligned with the focus position due to step out of the stepping motor of the projector moving device 32A for changing the focus of the projection means. . More specifically, the step out of the motor can be solved by returning the projection means to the home position, and by changing the home position to the second focal length, backlash of the gear of the ball screw mechanism in the projector moving device 32A. It is possible to solve the problem that the focal position is not accurate with Thereby, the focus change can be performed accurately.

(A2) Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied when changing the focal length from the first projection member to the second projection member, for example, the number of executions of the focus change is predetermined. When a number (for example, the fourth time) is reached, when a predetermined time or a predetermined time has elapsed, or when a specific effect (for example, a specific super reach) is executed, a predetermined command (for example, a customer waiting command or a big hit) When an ending command etc. is received (When a customer waiting command is received, a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) elapses from such reception and then a big hit ending command is received when a big hit ending command is received) etc) The focal length is changed by changing the first focal length to the origin position and changing the origin position to the second focal length. Since this is done, it is not always executed to return the projection means to the origin position and to change it to the first focal length or the second focal length, so that the ball screw mechanism's gear etc. is overloaded more than necessary. It is possible not to get caught.

(A3) In addition, when changing the focal length from the first projection member to the second projection member, the projection unit performs the focus change when the number of executions of the focus change has reached a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time). The focal length is changed by changing the first focal length to the origin position and changing the origin position to the second focal length. Since this is done, it is possible to execute focus change accurately every time the number of executions of focus change reaches a predetermined number (for example, the fourth time). In addition, because it is not always performed, it is possible to prevent the load of the ball screw mechanism from being overloaded more than necessary.

(A4) In addition, when the focal length is changed from the first projection member to the second projection member, the projection unit performs a specific effect (for example, a specific super reach) from the first focal length when the specific effect is performed. The focal length is changed by changing to the home position and changing from the home position to the second focal length. Since this is done, it is possible to accurately execute the focus change each time the specific effect is executed. In addition, because it is not always performed, it is possible to prevent the load of the ball screw mechanism from being overloaded more than necessary.

(A5) Further, when changing the focal length from the second projected member to the first projected member, the projection means changes the second focal length to the origin position, and changes the origin position to the first focal length The focal length is changed by performing (for example, the effect control CPU 120 performs processing such as step S932 in FIG. 30, step S954 in FIG. 37B, and step S982 in FIG. 38B). Change the distance etc) Since this is done, it is possible to reduce the problem that the focus position is shifted and the image is blurred by not being accurately aligned with the focus position due to step out of the stepping motor of the projector moving device 32A for changing the focus of the projection means. . More specifically, the step out of the motor can be solved by returning the projection means to the home position, and by changing the home position to the second focal length, backlash of the gear of the ball screw mechanism in the projector moving device 32A. It is possible to solve the problem that the focal position is not accurate with Thereby, the focus change can be performed accurately.

(B1) Further, the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) 1 is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and has projection means (projector 32) for projecting an image, and a projection target (image) projected from the projection means A screen 5), the projection target member has an alignment target portion (markers PS1 to PS13), and an adjustment for adjusting a display position of an image projected onto the projection target member from the projection unit The image 45 can be displayed on the projection target member, and the adjustment image has adjustment indications (markers PG1 to PG13) for adjusting to the alignment target portion. Since it did in this way, the adjustment display (markers PG1-PG13) of the adjustment image 45 can be united with the positioning object part (markers PS1-PS13) of a to-be-projected member (screen 5). Thereby, position adjustment of the projection image 45 with respect to a to-be-projected member (screen 5) can be performed suitably. The interest of the game by displaying the projection image on the projection target member (screen 5) can be improved.

(B2) Further, the projection device includes an operation means (the cross button 31E, the command input device 38, the controller 210, etc.) operated by the operator, and the projection target projects on the surface on which the image is projected For example, it has a stereoscopic display area 5B, a reserve display area 5H, a present display area 5K, a reserve number display area 5F, etc., and the protrusion or the surrounding region of the protrusion has the alignment target portion By adjusting the adjustment display to the alignment target portion based on the operation of the means, the position adjustment between the adjustment image and the projection target member is possible. Since it did in this way, position adjustment of projection picture 45 to a projection member (screen 5) can be performed suitably. For example, when adjusting the entire adjustment image 45 with respect to the projection target member (screen 5), adjustment elements (adjustment axis, adjustment point, etc.) such as the center marker PS1 can be determined.

(B3) In addition, when adjusting the position of the adjustment image 45 and the projection target member (screen 5), any adjustment item among plural kinds of adjustment items (for example, movement adjustment in X, Y directions, rotation adjustment, etc.) Is displayed on the projection target member (for example, the adjustment image 45 is displayed in green for movement adjustment in the X and Y directions, the adjustment image 45 is displayed in blue for rotation adjustment, etc.) . Since it did in this way, a worker etc. can know the adjustment item under execution without taking a look from the projected member (screen 5), and support the operation of the operation means by the worker etc (support, assistance, etc.) can do. For example, it is possible to eliminate the need for the operation for confirming the adjustment item currently being executed, and to reduce the operation error of the operation means by the operator or the like. Thereby, each adjustment item can be quickly performed, and the efficiency of the position adjustment can be improved.

(B4) Further, based on the operation of the operation means, the adjustment display of one of the plurality of divided adjustment images 45a to 45i constituting the adjustment image is one or more projecting portions of the projection target member and the projection display The one division adjustment image and the one position are adjusted by aligning the one alignment target portion corresponding to the one division adjustment image among the alignment target portions of at least two or more places in the peripheral region of the protrusion The position adjustment with the alignment target portion is possible (for example, aligning the marker PG6 of the divided adjustment image 45a with the marker PS6 of the screen 5 in FIG. 15B or the marker PG11 of the divided adjustment image 45f in FIG. 15C). And the marker PS11 on the screen 5). Since it did in this way, position adjustment can be performed for every some division adjustment images 45a-45i which comprise the adjustment image 45. FIG. Thereby, position adjustment of the projection image 45 with respect to a to-be-projected member (screen 5) can be performed suitably. In addition, partial adjustment may be performed after overall adjustment of the adjustment image 45. Thus, adjustment that can not be compensated by the overall adjustment can be realized by partial adjustment.

(B5) Further, one type of adjustment display can be selected from among a plurality of types of adjustment displays having different sizes (for example, any one of a plurality of types of position adjustment patterns PP1 to PP25 shown in FIG. 14D) Or you can choose one) Since this is done, by selecting an adjustment display larger than the adjustment display selected initially (for example, changing the size of the marker of the adjustment image shown in FIG. 14D to a large one), the position adjustment operation can be performed. The position adjustment can be achieved by speeding up or selecting an adjustment display smaller than the adjustment display initially selected (for example, changing the size of the marker of the adjustment image shown in FIG. 14D to a smaller one). To achieve high accuracy. Therefore, it is possible to change to a position adjustment operation corresponding to the subsequent adjustment needs, and to improve the convenience of the position adjustment operation.

(B6) Further, the projection target member has a first area where the projection distance from the projection means is equal to or less than the first distance, and a second area where the projection distance is larger than the first distance (for example, Area (first area) located above the X-direction center line SCL of the screen 5 which coincides with the direction center line GCL, and the lower area (second area) located below the center line SCL And have). In the lower area (second area), since the projection distance from the projection means (projector 32) is larger than that in the upper area (first area), positional deviation of a projected image tends to occur. Therefore, by aligning the adjustment display on the protrusion of the second region or the alignment target portion in the peripheral region of the protrusion, it is possible to reduce the positional deviation caused by the large projection distance. That is, it is possible to suppress a failure that occurs according to the projection distance.

  The lower region (second region) has a larger number of protrusions than the upper region (first region) (in FIG. 3B, the lower region (second region) has a central stereoscopic display region 5BC, the right three-dimensional region There are five of display area 5BR, left stereoscopic display area 5BL, current display area 5K and number-of-holds display area 5F, upper middle stereoscopic display area 5BUC in upper area (first area), upper right stereoscopic display area 5BUR and upper Since the left three-dimensional display area 5BUL is more than three), the position adjustment is performed more than the upper area (first area) for the lower area (second area) where positional deviation of the projected image is likely to occur. Since it did in this way, the position shift which arises by having a large projection distance can be reduced. That is, it is possible to suppress a failure that occurs according to the projection distance.

(B7) Further, the second area has a plurality of areas for variably displaying the design symbol (in FIG. 40, a central three-dimensional display area 5BC for variably displaying the decorative pattern in the lower area (second area)) 5BR, left stereoscopic display area 5BL). In the lower area (second area), since the projection distance from the projection means is larger than that in the upper area (first area), positional deviation easily occurs in the image of the decorative pattern projected on the second area. Since the image of the decorative symbol is an image that the player pays attention to, it is necessary to prevent a sense of discomfort from being displayed due to the positional deviation. Therefore, the positional deviation of the image of the decorative pattern due to the large projection distance can be reduced by aligning the adjustment display with the alignment target portion in the protrusion of the second area. That is, it is possible to suppress a failure that occurs according to the projection distance.

(C1) In addition, the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine) 1 is a special screen capable of moving the screen 5 (an example of the display means) for displaying an image, the first position, and the second position different from the first position. 205A (an example of a movable object). Then, in response to the movement of the special screen 205A from the first position to the second position, it is possible to execute tone change effect. Since this is done, the color tone of the image is changed in conjunction with the movement of the movable object, so that the game interest is improved.

(C2) In addition, the gaming machine 1 is provided with a projector 32 (an example of a projection means) for projecting an image, and the display means is a projection target on which the image is projected from the projector 32. The image is projected from the projection means. According to such a configuration, since the color tone of the image changes in conjunction with the movement of the movable object, the game interest is improved.

  The movable object is not limited to the special screen 205A. The movable object may be a rod-like accessory that moves on the front side of the screen 5 (for example, the special screen 205A in FIGS. 34 (A) and (B) does not exist and corresponds to the shape of the lifting frame 205F). . And it is good also as composition which can perform color tone change production according to a field of screen 5 which is divided by such movable things and changes according to movement of a movable thing. In addition, such movable objects are not limited to those which move in parallel, but are rod-like members that rotate and move like the wiper of the vehicle on the front side of the screen 5 or a door-shaped frame that can be opened and closed in front of the screen 5 It may be the body. Even in such a case, the color tone change presentation may be performed according to the movement of the movable object. Further, the display means for displaying an image is not limited to the screen 5 on which the projector 32 projects the image. The display means may be an image display device (main image display device) such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. In this case, the movable object may be a sub image display device (composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like) capable of parallel movement or rotational movement on the front side of the image display device. Then, in the main image display device in which the exposure area changes in accordance with the movement of the sub image display device, the tone change effect may be performed. Also, it is possible to make the sub image display device appearable from the back side of the main image display device, and to execute tone change effect according to the display area of the sub image display device which changes as the sub image display device moves. . In addition, the display means may be an image display device such as a liquid crystal display, and the movable object moving on the front side may be a rod-like character or the like. Also, the configuration of the projector 32 is optional. For example, the light from the LED may be reflection-controlled by a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) and projected onto a predetermined screen, or an image displayed on a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display may be reflected by a mirror. It may be configured to project on a predetermined screen.

  Furthermore, although the example in which the color tone change effect is performed during variable display (during variation) has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the menu processing (step S1013) which enables the player to perform an operation according to the menu contents shown in FIG. 25, the predetermined operation of the player (for example, the predetermined operation by the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B) Depending on, it may be executed. For example, in the mode in which the color mode (for example, monochrome or color) of the effect image at the time of predetermined effect can be selected, the color tone change effect is executed when the color mode is selected according to the player's operation. May be Further, in the menu processing, it may be selectable whether or not the color tone change effect can be performed in a predetermined case by the operation of the player. Further, for example, it is possible to execute color tone change presentation during fluctuation according to the fluctuation pattern accompanied with the reach production and during fluctuation according to the fluctuation pattern not accompanied with the reach production, and the expectation degree for reaching the color change presentation is reached It may be configured to have a notice effect to be shown. In this case, for example, when the tone change effect is performed, the ratio of being controlled to the reach state may be higher than when it is not performed. Further, in the prize effect determination process (step S150) shown in FIG. 19, the color change effect may be determined according to the prize determination result, and the tone change effect may be an aspect of the advance notice effect. In addition, as the effect in the big hit game state, color tone change effect may be executed.

(C3) Further, in the gaming machine 1, the first position is a position at which the movable object overlaps the display means. As a result, the color tone of the image changes in conjunction with the movement of the movable object moving on the front side of the display means, so that the game interest is improved.

  For example, in the case where the movable object is the rod-like shaped product or the frame body, the first position and the second position do not have to overlap with the display means. This corresponds to, for example, the case where the rod-like product moves from the lower position of the screen 5 to the upper position of the screen 5 (note that neither the lower position nor the upper position overlaps the screen 5). . The first position and the second position may be different positions from each other, and as described above, are not limited to the position in the set state of the special screen 205A and the position in the stored state. For example, the first position and the second position may be any positions in the section between the set state and the storage state.

(C4) In addition, in the game machine 1, in the color tone changing effect, according to the movement of the movable object from the first position to the second position, the image displayed on the display means is one of the single color mode and the multicolor mode from the other. Change to Thus, the player can be surprised because the image changes from one of the single color mode and the multicolor mode to the other in conjunction with the movement of the movable object. Note that, as described in the description of the first color mode CL1 and the second color mode CL2, the change of the image mode in the color tone change effect can be various as long as the player can recognize the change of the color mode. Can be adopted.

(C5) Further, in the gaming machine 1, according to the movement of the movable object from the first position to the second position, a pattern for changing the color tone of the image displayed on the display means and a pattern for not changing the color tone of the image is there.

(C6) Further, the pattern for changing the color tone is controlled to be in an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) more than the pattern for which the color tone is not changed (for example, FIG. 31). Since it did in this way, it can be made to pay attention to whether color tone change presentation is performed.

  In addition, at the time of specific reach production execution, color tone change presentation may be performed by all means. Further, in the above, the advantageous state in which the rate of control is higher is not limited to the jackpot gaming state if the color tone change effect is executed. The advantageous state may be any state that is advantageous to the player, such as a probability change state in which probability change control is performed, and a time reduction state in which time reduction control is performed. Further, as described above, it may be configured such that it is easier for the user to be in the reach state (another example of the advantageous state) when the color tone change presentation is performed.

(C7) The gaming machine 1 further comprises: projection means (for example, the projector 32) for projecting an image; and a projection target (for example, the screen 5) onto which the image is projected from the projection means A light emitting means (pending display LED 34) capable of emitting light is provided in a part (for example, the pending display area 5H, the present display area 5K). According to such a configuration, it is possible to execute a new effect which has never been done so far, and the interest is improved.

(C8) Further, the gaming machine 1 is a gaming machine 1 capable of playing a game, and a projection unit (for example, a projector 32) for projecting an image, and a projection target (for example, a screen) onto which an image is projected from the projection unit 5), and the specific information on the game (for example, hold display, present display, decorative symbol, fourth symbol, notice image, right-on notification) by projecting from the projection means onto a part of the projection target member A specific area (for example, the hold display area 5H or the current display area 5K) for displaying an image is provided, and the specific area is projected forward (for example, FIGS. 17 and 18). According to such a configuration, it becomes easy to visually recognize the specific information, and the interest is improved.

  Other changes and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the present invention can be applied to so-called enclosed game machines.

  In each of the above embodiments, a pachinko machine is shown as a gaming machine, but a medal is inserted to set a predetermined number of bets, and a plurality of types of symbols are rotated according to the operation of the control lever by the player. A slot in which a predetermined number of medals can be paid out to the player when the combination of the stop symbols becomes a combination of specific symbols when the symbols are stopped in response to the operation of the stop button by the player. The present invention is also applicable to aircraft (eg, slot machines equipped with one or more of a big bonus, regular bonus, RT, AT, ART, CZ (hereinafter referred to as a bonus, etc.)). As means for displaying an image in such a slot machine, the projectors, screens, sub LEDs, etc. shown in the above embodiments and modifications may be provided.
