The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
(Example 1)
This example is an example relating to a game information display device 1 attached to the gaming machine 51 and a game hall system 1S including the game information display device 1. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In a game arcade where game machines 51 such as pachinko machines and slot machines (not shown) are installed, as shown in FIG. 1, about 10 to 20 game machines 51 are arranged in a line facing the passage. Machine island 5 is formed. In the gaming machine island 5, a gaming device 52 that lends and counts gaming media such as balls and medals, and a gaming information display device 1 that displays various gaming information and guidance information are individually attached to each gaming machine 51. ing. The gaming device 52 is arranged in a narrow space between the tables with the other gaming machines 51 adjacent to the left of the corresponding gaming machine 51 or on the island edge. The game information display device 1 is attached to a wall surface between a curtain board 500 that is a decorative board that covers an upper portion of the gaming machine island 5 so as to be openable and closable, and a corresponding gaming machine 51.

  In the gaming machine island 5, as shown in FIG. 2, one relay device 59 is installed for every two gaming machines 51. A management device 50 for managing the game hall is installed in the management space in the game hall. The operation status of on-site devices such as the gaming machine 51, gaming device 52, gaming information display device 1 and the like in the gaming hall is centrally managed by the management device 50.

  In the amusement hall, as shown in FIG. 2, an in-field network 5N such as a wired LAN to which the management device 50 is communicably connected is constructed. Then, the gaming machine 51, the gaming information display device 1 and the gaming device 52 are connected to the in-place network 5N via the relay device 59 to constitute a gaming hall system 1S. In this game hall system 1S, various communications between the gaming machine 51 side including peripheral devices such as the game information display device 1 and the management device 50 are realized via the relay device 59.

(Game machine)
A gaming machine 51 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a pachinko gaming machine in which a game is performed by hitting a ball in a gaming area where a liquid crystal display unit (function) 511, a start opening 512, and the like are arranged. In this gaming machine 51, balls that are gaming media are used as gaming values. Below the game area, an upper plate 517 for supplying balls to a launching device (not shown) and a lower plate 518 for storing balls overflowing from the upper plate 517 are provided. On the edge portion surrounding the upper plate 517, a rental button and a return button (both not shown), which are operation buttons for causing the gaming apparatus 52 to perform a predetermined operation, are arranged.

  The gaming machine 51 is a pachinko gaming machine called a seven machine, and when a ball wins a start opening 512 (start winning), a big hit lottery is executed. As the start opening 512, a navel type first start opening 512A in which the winning rate does not change and an electric tulip type second start opening 512B in which the winning rate changes are provided. When the electric tulip at the second start opening 512B is opened, it functions like a ball receiving tray and a high winning rate is realized.

  The opening condition of the second start opening 512B by the operation of the electric tulip is the winning of the ordinary drawing lottery (the ordinary drawing winning). When the ball passes through the passing gate 514 which is a general prize winning opening, a lottery random number is extracted and a general figure lottery is executed, and a corresponding symbol variation is executed by a general figure display unit (not shown). The normal time fluctuation time is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the short time state (short time). In addition, the opening time of the second start opening 512B at the time of normal winning is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the short time state. While the short-time state continues, the normal fluctuation time becomes shorter than the normal state, and the opening time of the second start port 512B becomes longer, so that the start winning rate becomes higher.

  When a ball is won at the start opening 512 and the start condition is established, a lottery random number for jackpot determination is extracted internally, and the lottery lottery is executed, and the pattern variation is started in the liquid crystal display unit 511. When a big win is generated, after the symbol variation period is over, a matching symbol such as “777” is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 511 to notify the big win. After notifying of the big win, a big hit state (hit) is started in which a round in which the big prize opening 515 called an attacker is opened is repeated. The maximum number of winnings per round is set to 9 and the upper limit opening time is set to 30 seconds. When the upper limit winning number is reached or the upper limit opening time elapses, one round ends.

  As the big hit state, the 4R big hit state with four rounds of repetition and the 15R big hit state with 15 rounds are set, and the number of rounds under the big hit state is determined by lottery in the same way as the big hit lottery. The The distribution ratio between the 4R big hit state and the 15R big hit state is different between the big hit lottery triggered by the winning of the first starting port 512A and the big hit lottery triggered by the winning of the second starting port 512B. The allocation ratio in the big hit lottery triggered by the winning of the first start opening 512A is 55% in the 4R big hit state and 45% in the 15R big hit state. The distribution ratio in the big hit lottery triggered by the winning of the second start opening 512B is 10% in the 4R big hit state and 90% in the 15R big hit state.

  In addition, when a start winning is generated during the symbol variation of the big hit lottery / ordinary symbol lottery, the symbol variation corresponding to the extracted lottery random number is accumulated. The reserved symbol variation is started in order from the oldest after the symbol variation being executed is completed. However, when a predetermined upper limit value (for example, four) is set for the number of symbols to be retained, and if a start winning is generated in a state where the reserved upper limit value has been reached, the lottery random number is not extracted. Alternatively, the extracted lottery random numbers are erased as they are without being reserved as symbol variations. In addition, with respect to the hold of the symbol fluctuation corresponding to the big hit lottery, the hold originating from the second start opening 512B is digested in preference to the hold originating from the first start opening 512A, and the hold originating from the first start opening 512A is digested. Is digested when there is no longer any hold originating from the second starter 512B.

  As the big hits, there are a probabilistic big hit in which a probability variation state in which the winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery increases and a normal big hit in which the probability variation state does not follow. The probability variation rate, which is the ratio of the probability variation big hit in the jackpot winning, is 66.6% regardless of whether it is the normal state or the probability variation state. In other words, if the winning probability of the big hit lottery is the same, two out of the three big hit wins are probable big hits, and the remaining one is a normal big hit.

  While the big hit probability under the normal state is set to 1/260, the big hit probability is improved to 1/74 in the probability variation state. Furthermore, in the probability variation state, as described above, a short time state occurs in which the winning rate of the second start port 512B is increased. The end condition of the probability change state is the occurrence of a big hit. If the big hit is the probability change big hit, the probability change state continuously occurs after the end of the big hit state. The probability variation state continues until the normal big hit occurs after the big hit state ends, and after the big hit state corresponding to the normal big hit, the symbol variation digests the short time state for a predetermined number of times (for example, the number of start times is 100 times). To return to the normal state. Note that the specifications such as the exemplified jackpot probability and the round distribution rate differ depending on the model of the gaming machine, and there are various specifications.

  The gaming machine 51 externally outputs various game signals according to the progress of the game. Examples of game signals that are externally output to the gaming device 52, the gaming information display device 1, the management device 50, and the like via the relay device 59 include the following signals. Note that the game signal transmitted to the management device 50 is associated (linked) with the relay device 59 by a machine ID that is identification information of the gaming machine 51. On the management device 50 side, the game machine 51 of the transmission source can be specified by using the machine number ID associated with the game signal.

(1) Out signal (consumption signal): A signal (operation signal) that can specify a consumption value (out) output from an out BOX (not shown) that collects consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 consumed (used, driven, and collected) balls, “out signal number × 10” can be specified as out. An out signal output from the gaming machine 51 may be used.
(2) Safe signal (payout signal): An output signal of the gaming machine 51 that can specify a prize-giving value (safe). Since one pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “safe signal number × 10” can be specified as safe. In addition, it is good also considering the replenishment signal output from the replenishment apparatus (not shown) which replenishes a ball as a safe signal.
(3) Start signal: An output signal of the gaming machine 51 that can specify a start process (symbol change, accessory operation, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit (combination) 511 that changes (acts) by a start winning. Since the symbol variation is specified according to the signal input that is output when the symbol variation is determined, “the number of start signals × 1” can be specified as the number of start times (start count). Note that a signal indicating that the start opening 512 has been won may be used.
(4) jackpot signal: a signal that can be specified from the gaming machine 51 to identify the jackpot period. Since it is a state signal that is output at a level during a big hit, it is possible to specify that a big hit signal is being input as being a big hit.

(Game equipment)
The game device 52 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a device that lends game media used for the game and counts the game media acquired by the player. At the amusement hall, it is possible to enjoy a game with a pachinko gaming machine using balls borrowed from the gaming device 52. When the gaming device 52 executes money accepting processing for accepting money, the deposit amount is displayed on both the gaming machine 51 and the gaming device 52, and a lending ball (contribution value) for one lending unit (for example, 500 yen). Is paid out from the gaming machine 51 (consideration giving process), and according to the consideration giving process, the deposit amount is displayed as the balance excluding the consideration of the loaned balls.

  The gaming device 52 can accept, for example, 10,000 yen of money as a corresponding portion of the multiple payment processing. Then, when the lending button of the gaming machine 51 is pressed (lending operation or giving operation) in a state where there is a balance, a lending ball for 1 unit of lending is paid out from the gaming machine 51, and the consideration amount is deducted from the balance. In addition, it also has a so-called counting function for each car, and it is possible to count the number of balls acquired by the player and pay back the balls again as the consideration for the balls that have been counted. The number is specified as a ball.

  When the return button (not shown) of the gaming machine 51 is pressed (issue operation is accepted) with the balance or the remaining ball remaining, the gaming device 52 issues a general card (not shown) that can specify the balance or the retained ball. To do. In addition, the split issue where only the balance or a part of the ball is issued is not possible for simplification of explanation, but it may be possible.

  The gaming device 52 executes the currency acceptance process and the payment process, the balance, the number of balls, the number of borrowed balls, the number of paid-out balls, the deposit amount, the number of counting balls, the number of borrowed balls, and the borrowed balls through serial communication with the relay device 59. Can be specified on the management device 50 side for various information such as the amount of sales to be paid and general card acceptance and issuance processing, etc., but these are pulse signals (for example, one pulse for every 1000 yen received, every 100 yen for sales) 1 pulse or the like) may be specified.

(Game information display device)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the gaming information display device 1 is installed above each gaming machine 51 in a gaming machine island 5 where a plurality of gaming machines 51 are installed side by side, and various gaming information related to the gaming machine 51.

It is divided into 10R. On the upper and lower side portions of each display panel 10L, C, R, a lamp portion 108 in which LEDs are arranged is formed over the entire width, and the game information display device 1 provides effects by lighting or blinking the lamp portion 108, etc. It is feasible.

  Various connection harnesses from the main body of the game information display device 1 are connected to the relay device 59 (FIG. 2) except for the LAN line in a single connector. Further, the game information display device 1 is provided with a remote control 55 carried by the employee. The game information display device 1 can also input various commands from the remote controller 55 (FIG. 1) and execute a display operation in accordance with the command contents.

  The game information display device 1 can display various types of game information based on the game signal received from the gaming machine 51 side, and can respond to a command received from the management device 50 or a remote control operation by the remote controller 55 carried by the employee. Various kinds of guidance information can be displayed. For example, when a remote control signal indicating that it is in an empty state is input from the remote controller 55, a display described later indicating that it is in an empty state can be executed. Furthermore, the game information display device 1 can also execute a display effect in conjunction with another game information display device 1.

A central middle panel (central display panel) 10C among the three display panels 10L, 10C, and 10R is a touch-sensitive touch panel on which a touch screen sheet 100 (see FIG. 14, not shown in other figures) is stacked. It has become. On the lower side of the middle panel 10C, as shown in FIG. 3, there are operation buttons such as a call button 241 and a menu button 243, and a light receiving unit 245 for an infrared signal (remote control signal) of the remote control 55 (FIG. 1) operated by an employee. Is arranged. The call button 241 is an operation button for causing the game information display device 1 to execute a predetermined operation for calling an employee. The menu button 243 is an operation button for displaying a display menu for selecting display contents and a display format.
Left and right panels (left display panel and right display panel) 10L, R provided on both sides of the middle panel 10C are rotatable display panels. The left and right panels 10L and R can be rotated so that their display surfaces face inward or outward, and various controls are possible.

  In the game information display device 1, as shown in FIG. 4, a housing 12 that houses a control board (not shown) is provided on the back side of the middle panel 10 </ b> C. On the upper surface of the housing 12, a horizontally long and thin box-shaped gear box 11 for rotationally driving the left and right panels 10L and 10R is disposed. The configuration of the control board (not shown) will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The housing 12 accommodates control motors and drive motors 101L and 101R (see FIG. 14) for rotating the left and right panels 10L and 10R. Motor shafts 12S (see FIG. 8) of the drive motors 101L and R, to which the motor gear 12M (see FIG. 8) is externally fixed, are protruded from the upper surface side of the housing 12 and accommodated in the gear box 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an attachment portion 121 that is a base portion of the attachment structure 125 to the wall surface is formed on the rear surface of the housing 12. The game information display device 1 is attached to the upper wall surface of the gaming machine 51 via an attachment structure 125 including an inclination angle adjusting mechanism (see FIG. 1). 3 and 4, the illustration of the attachment structure 125 is omitted.

The tilt angle is an angle at which the display surface of the game information display device 1 located above the head of the player sitting on the gaming chair is tilted so as to be in a forward-facing posture. This inclination angle can be adjusted to a position of zero degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, and 25 degrees by using a motor (not shown) included in the adjustment mechanism of the mounting structure 125 with the vertical direction as a reference zero degree (see FIG. 5). is there. Thus, if the inclination angle exceeding zero degrees such as 15 degrees and 20 degrees is set, the display surface of each display panel 10L, C, R can be directed obliquely downward, and the display surface can be easily seen from the player side.
The inclination angle can be adjusted electrically by operating the remote controller 55, and can also be adjusted manually. Manual operation does not require a tool or the like, and the tilt angle can be increased by pulling the upper portion of the main body toward the front, and the tilt angle can be decreased by pressing the upper portion of the main body. The reference zero degree may not be set as the vertical direction, and may be an inclination range of about 25 degrees from the vertical direction as an inclination range from 25 degrees to 50 degrees.

  Since the game information display device 1 is attached under a so-called curtain plate 500 (see FIG. 1), the inclination angle shown in FIG. 5 is any of the above-described zero degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, and 25 degrees. Ideally, it does not interfere with the opening and closing of the curtain plate 500. However, if this requirement is made strict, the degree of freedom of installation of the game information display device 1 may be impaired. Therefore, it is sufficient that there is at least one inclination angle that does not interfere when the curtain plate 500 is opened and closed.

  The tilt angle adjusting mechanism shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a combination of two planes (not shown) that move relatively while maintaining a state of facing each other with a substantially constant gap when changing the tilt angle. ing. One plane is a plane on the mounting portion 121 side of the housing 12, and the other plane is a plane on the mounting structure 125 side fixed to the wall surface. A convex portion is provided on one of the two planes, and a concave portion into which the convex portion is fitted is located on the other plane at positions corresponding to inclination angles of zero degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, and 25 degrees. Is provided. When the inclination angle is changed, a click feeling is generated according to the fitting of the convex portion into the concave portion. Furthermore, after adjusting to any of the above four types of inclination angles, the protrusions are fixed with a certain degree of strength by fitting the protrusions to the recesses, and fluctuations in the inclination angles due to their own weight and the like are avoided beforehand.

  The gear box 11 is a thin box-like component that houses a gear mechanism 110 for rotating the left and right panels 10L and R (FIG. 3) by the rotation of the motor gear 12M of the housing 12, as shown in FIGS. is there. On the lower surface of the gear box 11, an accommodation hole 120 for penetrating the motor shaft 12 </ b> S protruding from the upper surface of the housing 12 is formed. The gear box 11 is formed wide so that both ends thereof slightly protrude from the housing 12, and a rotating shaft 11S is provided on the lower surface of the protruding portion so as to pivotally support the left and right panels 10L and 10R. Has been. The rotation shaft 11 </ b> S is provided at both end portions of the middle panel 10 </ b> C so as to extend along the side surface of the housing 12, and the tip is pivotally supported on the housing 12 side. The gear mechanism 110 of the gear box 11 constitutes a rotation mechanism (rotation means) for transmitting the rotation of the drive motors 101L, R to the rotation shaft 11S to rotate the left and right panels 10L, R. . This turning mechanism is configured to allow manual turning operation of the left and right panels 10L, R.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the gear mechanism 110 of the gear box 11 includes a spur gear 111 that engages with the motor gear 12 </ b> M on the housing 12 side, and a spur gear 112 that is coaxially fixed to the spur gear 111.

In FIG. 7, all gears including a spur gear which is originally shielded by other components and cannot be visually recognized are shown by solid lines. 6 and 7, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are not shown, and the gear mechanism 110 and the like that are originally invisible are shown by solid lines. In the combination of the gear mechanism 110 and the drive motors 101L, R, etc., the time required to rotate the left and right panels 10L, R by 90 degrees is about 1 second or less.

  In the gear box 11, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, a photo interrupter 118, which is a sensor in which a light receiving portion and a light emitting portion are arranged to face each other, is disposed on the outer periphery of the spur gear 111. The photo interrupters 118 are arranged at three locations within a range of about 120 degrees on the outer periphery of the spur gear 111. On the upper surface of the spur gear 111, a large-diameter fan-shaped light-shielding member 116 that can be detected by the photo interrupter 118 is attached so as to project outward.

  The arrangement of the three photo interrupters 118 and the size of the inner peripheral angle of the fan-shaped light shielding member 116 are rotated when the left and right panels 10L and 10R are folded along the side surface of the housing 12 as shown in FIG. The angle is set so that the position where the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated to 45, 90, and 135 degrees away from the housing 12 can be reliably detected when the angle is set to a reference zero degree. In the following description, the rotation angle when the left and right panels 10L and R are folded along the side surface of the housing 12 is assumed to be a reference zero degree (see FIG. 10), and 90 degrees on the side away from the housing 12 is set. The rotation position of the left and right panels 10L, R is referred to as a first position, 135 degrees is referred to as a second position, and 45 degrees is referred to as a third position.

  Inside the gear box 11, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, a rotation stopper 119 for mechanically restricting the rotation range of the left and right panels 10L, R is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the left and right rotation shafts 11S. Yes. The rotation stopper 119 is provided with two restriction surfaces 119A and 119B on which the restriction member 117 that is externally fixed to the rotation shaft 11S is brought together with the spur gear 114. One regulating surface 119A is a contact surface against which the first contact surface 117A of the regulating member 117 is pressed when the rotation angle of the left and right panels 10L, R is zero degrees as shown in FIG. The other restricting surface 119B is a contact surface against which the second contact surface 117B of the restricting member 117 is pressed when the left and right panels 10L and R face each other at a rotation angle of 180 degrees as shown in FIG. is there. In FIGS. 11 and 13, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are not shown.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the game information display device 1 is electrically configured around a main control unit 21 formed on a control board (not shown) housed in the housing 12. The main control unit 21 includes a CPU 211 that executes software to perform various calculations, a ROM 212 and a RAM 214 as memory means, and an I / O unit 215 that inputs and outputs signals.

The main control unit 21 is stacked on the external I / F unit 28 that performs signal transmission / reception with the outside, the display panels 10L, C, and R, the display control unit 22 that controls the drive motors 101L and R, and the middle panel 10C. The touch screen sheet 100, the call button 241, the remote control infrared light receiving unit 245, and the like are electrically connected.
In addition to the three display panels 10L, C, and R, the left and right drive motors 101L and R that rotationally drive the left and right panels 10L and R are connected to the display control unit 22.
Further, the game information display device 1 is connected in a communicable state with the gaming machine 51, the management device 50, and the game information display devices 1 on both the left and right sides via the external I / F unit 28 serving as a communication interface. .

The game information display device 1 can input game signals such as a payout signal, a driving signal, a start signal, a jackpot signal, etc. from the gaming machine 51 side, and can perform the following aggregation of game data.
(1) Number of big hits: Number of occurrences of big hit status.
(2) Number of start-ups between jackpots: Number of start-ups after the last big hit state is completed (number of lottery lotteries, start times).
(3) Cumulative number of starts today: Cumulative number of starts after the opening of the store on that day (start count).
(4) Number of difference balls: The balance of balls as seen from the player side. The number of balls is calculated by subtracting the number of balls to be added by 10 balls each time a driving signal is input from the number of balls to be added by 10 balls each time a payout signal is input.

The main control unit 21 has functions as the following means.
(1) Empty table determining means: means for determining whether or not the corresponding gaming machine 51 is in an empty state in which no one is playing. The empty table determining means determines that the empty table is empty when the empty information output from the remote controller 55 operated by the employee is input.
(2) Game information specifying means: means for specifying the game information of the corresponding gaming machine 51 by inputting a game signal. As the game information to be specified, there are various game data such as the number of big hits, the number of consecutive chunks, the number of start-ups, the number of balls, etc., in addition to the game state occurring in the corresponding gaming machine 51. For example, when a jackpot signal is input from the corresponding gaming machine 51, the game information specifying means specifies the gaming state as a jackpot state and updates the number of jackpots every time a jackpot signal is newly input. In addition, the game information specifying means regards a period until the symbol variation occurs 100 times (the number of start times is 100 times) after the big hit state is ended as a continuous channel period, and specifies this state as the continuous channel state. Then, the game information specifying means specifies a state where neither the big hit state is generated nor the continuous state is continued as the normal state.
(3) Determining means: effect conditions (overall effect conditions) that trigger the overall effect in which a plurality of game information display devices 1 are linked, and the display panels 10L, C of the game information display device 1 arranged on the gaming machine island 5 , Means for determining success or failure of the whole character display condition that triggers the whole character display using R (described later with reference to FIG. 23). The determining means determines whether or not an effect condition that can specify whether or not the event is established based on the game information specified by the game signal is determined based on the game information specified by the game information specifying means. Further, the determination means determines whether or not an entire character display condition (execution condition for displaying the entire character) that can be satisfied when a preset set time is reached and when a predetermined start operation is received. To do. Note that the entire character display condition may be only one of a case where a preset set time is reached and a case where a predetermined start operation is accepted.
(4) Effect signal transmission / reception means: means for transmitting / receiving effect signals to / from other game information display devices 1. The effect signal includes an effect jackpot signal that is transmitted when a big hit state occurs in the corresponding gaming machine 51, an effect achievement signal that is transmitted when the determination unit determines that the effect condition is satisfied. When the big hit state occurs in the corresponding gaming machine 51, the production signal transmission / reception means transmits the production big hit signal toward the game information display devices 1 on both the left and right sides. When an effect jackpot signal, an effect achievement signal, or the like is received from another game information display device 1, the effect signal is further output to the adjacent game information display device 1.
(5) Group means: means for grouping the game information display devices 1. The main control unit 21 stores an island group ID, which is group identification information of the gaming machine island 5, and a model group ID, which is group identification information of the model of the gaming machine 51, whereby the gaming information display device 1 Are divided into groups. It is also possible to provide a function as a group means in the management device 50, manage the island group ID and model group ID of each game information display device 1 on the management device 50 side, and group the game information display devices 1 into groups.

The display control unit 22 that controls the display panels 10L, 10C, and 10R has functions as the following means.
(1) Display control means: means for displaying game information specified by the game information specifying means on the middle panel 10C and the left and right panels 10L and 10R. The display control means displays various game information corresponding to the state of the gaming machine 51 on the display panels 10L, 10C, and 10R. The display control means can execute the following display control, for example.
-Control which displays the game information regarding a continuous change state on at least one of the left-right panels 10L and 10R when it is a continuous change state.
-Control that displays information indicating that the gaming machine 51 is in an empty state on at least one of the left and right panels 10L, R when it is determined that it is in an empty state.
Control that displays effect information that is integrated with information displayed on the other game information display device 1 when the jackpot state occurs and when an effect jackpot signal is input from the other game information display device 1 Display control, overall jackpot display control).
-When the game information such as the number of consecutive chans, the number of balls in the continuous chan (TY), the number of balls, or the number of games reaches the reference value (establishment of achievement conditions, achievement conditions as overall performance conditions), and other Control for displaying effect information integrated with information displayed on other game information display devices 1 when the effect achievement signal is input from the game information display device 1 (overall display control).
(2) Rotation control means: means for controlling the rotation positions of the left and right panels 10L and 10R. The rotation control means includes a first rotation control for rotating the left and right panels 10L, R to the second position ahead so that the display surfaces of the left and right panels 10L, R face inward with respect to the middle panel 10C; The second turning control for turning the left and right panels 10L, R to the rear third position so that the display surfaces of the left and right panels 10L, R face outward with respect to the middle panel 10C is a game of the gaming machine 51. It can be executed depending on the state.
(3) Setting means: means for setting a normal position where the left and right panels 10L, R are located under a normal state. In this example, as a normal position, in addition to a reference position described later with reference to FIG. 16C, the interval between adjacent game information display devices 1 is wider than that in the case of this reference position. A special position can be set.

Next, the contents of the game hall system 1S configured as described above will be described focusing on the configuration and operation of the game information display device 1.
First, the rotation positions of the left and right panels 10L and 10R, which are movable display means of the game information display device 1, will be described. As described above, the rotation positions of the left and right panels 10L, R are basically three types, the first position to the third position illustrated in FIG.

(First position)
In the first position of FIG. 15A, the rotation angle of the left and right panels 10L, R is 90 degrees, the orientation of the display surface is the same as the orientation of the display surface of the middle panel 10C, and each display surface is flush. This is the pivot position. This first position is a big hit position, and this corresponds mainly to the case where the effect is most desired, such as when the gaming machine 51 is a big hit.

(Second position)
In the second position in FIG. 15B, the rotation angle of the left and right panels 10L, R is 135 degrees, the display panel is turned inward and the display surface faces inward, and the game is played by the three display panels 10L, C, R. It is a rotation position where a person is surrounded. This second position is a continuous-changing position, and this continuous-changing position corresponds to a case where it is desired to increase the player's willingness to play, such as when the gaming machine 51 is in a special state (continuous-changing state).

(Third position)
The third position in FIG. 15C is a rotation position at which the rotation angle of the left and right panels 10L, R is 45 degrees, the display surface is directed outward, and the display surface is visible from the left and right outer sides. This third position is a normal position, and this corresponds to a case where the gaming machine 51 is in a standby state such as a normal state.

Here, with reference to FIG. 16 (A)-(D), the point which should be considered regarding installation of the game information display apparatus 1 in which the left-right panels 10L and R rotate is demonstrated.
FIG. 6A illustrates the state of the first position, that is, the big hit position, in which the rotation angle (see FIG. 15) of the left and right panels 10L, R is 90 degrees. In this state, the left and right panels 10L, R of the adjacent game information display device 1 are closest to each other, and each game information display device prevents the adjacent game information display device 1 from interfering with this big hit position. It is assumed that 1 is installed. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2A, the arrangement immediately before the left and right panels 10L, R of the adjacent gaming information display devices 1 are in contact is the narrowest arrangement interval, but the arrangement state of the gaming machines 51 on the gaming machine island 5 Accordingly, there is no problem if the distance between the left and right is wider than this arrangement.

  FIG. 16B illustrates a state in which the left and right panels 10L and R are folded along the side surface of the housing 12 so that the rotation angle becomes the reference zero degree. In this state, the left and right panels 10L and 10R of the adjacent game information display devices 1 are positioned so as to face each other most apart. In addition, in the same figure, the gaming machine island 5 in which the bill insertion slot 530 is arranged in the gap between the adjacent game information display devices 1 is illustrated. This bill insertion slot 530 is installed particularly when the gaming device 52 is installed in association with a slot machine. In the case of the gaming machine island 5 in which slot machines are arranged, a bill insertion slot 530 is not provided in the main body of the gaming device 52 due to the convenience of a bill transport path that is a rental fee for gaming media by the gaming device 52, and the upper side of the gaming device 52. In some cases, the insertion unit 53 is embedded and installed in the wall surface, and the bill insertion slot 530 is disposed at the position illustrated in FIG. Moreover, although the banknote insertion slot 530 was illustrated as a money insertion slot provided above the game apparatus 52, the insertion slot corresponding to other moneys, such as a coin insertion slot, may be sufficient.

  FIG. 16C shows a state of the third position, that is, the normal position (reference position) where the rotation angle of the left and right panels 10L, R is 45 degrees. This normal position is a position where the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated rearward so that the left and right panels 10L and R face outward with respect to the middle panel 10C. When the bill insertion slot 530 is disposed in the gap of the game information display device 1, the left and right panels 10 </ b> L and R located at the normal position (the third position) are obstructed when the bill is inserted into the bill insertion slot 530. The possibility increases. Therefore, the normal position of the third position is a very unfavorable position when the insertion unit 53 is provided above the gaming device 52.

  FIG. 16D illustrates a state in which a normal position with a rotation angle of 18.5 degrees that facilitates access to the bill insertion slot 530 is additionally set as a special position that prioritizes bill insertion. In this state, even if the insertion unit 53 is provided above the gaming device 52, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are inserted when the banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion slot 530, as compared with the case of FIG. The possibility of getting in the way can be reduced.

  In this way, the normal positions of the left and right panels 10L and 10R may be made different depending on whether or not the insertion unit 53 is provided above the gaming device 52. In the case of the gaming machine island 5 in which the insertion unit 53 is not installed, the reference position with a rotation angle of 45 degrees in FIG. On the other hand, if the insertion unit 53 is the gaming machine island 5 disposed above the gaming device 52, the rotation angle illustrated in FIG. 16D is illustrated so as not to obstruct the operation of inserting the bill into the bill insertion slot 530. The special position of 18.5 degrees should be the normal position. In addition, since various installation methods are assumed for the insertion unit, such as being provided with the banknote insertion port facing downward on the ceiling of the gaming machine island 5 further above the gaming information display device 1, it is an obstacle to the insertion of banknotes. If this is not the case, the reference position shown in FIG. 10C is selected as the normal position in consideration of the visibility of the left and right panels 10L and R, and if it is an obstacle, the special position shown in FIG. For example, the normal position can be selected.

  Also, a plurality of normal position candidates as shown in FIGS. 16 (C) and 16 (D) may be provided. Of course, three or more candidates may be provided, and the reference position and special position can be adjusted by adjusting the angle to an arbitrary angle. It may be settable. In short, it can be set to a different angle. Furthermore, there may be a case where it is desired to insert a bill even in the state of a big hit position ((A) in the same figure) at the time of achievement achievement of another stand. Therefore, in the game information display device 1 of this example, it is possible to rotate both the left panel and the right panels 10L and R by manual operation by pressing during execution of the overall effect. If such a rotation by manual operation is possible, it is possible to insert a bill into the bill insertion slot 530 disposed in the gap of the game information display device 1 even during execution of the overall effect. At this time, for each game information display device 1, only one of the left and right panels 10L and R may be manually operated. Further, even when the left and right panels 10L and R are in the normal position, it is assumed that the curtain plate 500 may be hindered from being opened and closed. Therefore, the left and right panels 10L and R may be manually moved (pushing operation, pulling operation, etc.). A configuration that enables rotation is useful.

  Next, the contents of the effect operation of the game information display device 1 will be described. In the following description, (a) an effect in a vacant state, (b) an effect in operation in a normal state, (c) an overall effect, (d) an individual effect (individual achievement effect) of an achievement effect, (e) a continuous channel The production will be described in order.

(A) Production in the empty state When the empty information output from the remote controller 55 operated by the employee is input, it is determined that the corresponding gaming machine 51 is in the empty state, and in this case, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are on the back side. The display surface is turned to the third position in FIG. Among the three display panels 10L, C, and R, the middle middle panel 10C displays information for the candidate player of the corresponding gaming machine 51, and the left and right panels 10L and R in the third position are the other players. Display information for.

FIG. 17 shows an example of a normal screen displayed on the three display panels 10L, C, and R in the empty state. On the default normal screen, game data of the corresponding gaming machine 51 is displayed on the middle panel 10C, and guidance information indicating that the game machine 51 is empty is displayed on the left and right panels 10L and 10R.
In the normal screen shown in the figure displayed on the middle panel 10C, the jackpot number display column for three days is the largest. A model name display field for displaying the model name of the game machine is arranged on the upper side of this jackpot number display field, a basic data display field is arranged on the left side, and a bar graph showing the number of starting times between the past maximum number of balls display field and the first hit. The graph display area to be displayed is arranged on the lower side.

  In the basic data display column, the first hit display column that displays the number of first hits that is the number of big hits in the normal state excluding the probability variation state, the jackpot breakdown that displays the type breakdown of the jackpot (super and small in the pachinko gaming machine illustrated) A display field and a start frequency display field for displaying the number of times of symbol variation are arranged in three stages.

(B) Production in operation in the normal state During the game in the normal state that is neither the continuous change state nor the big hit state, the left and right panels 10L and R are in the third position in FIG. The middle panel 10C in the center displays information for the player who is playing the game, and the left and right panels 10L and 10R display information for the other players.

  FIG. 18 is a display example using the display panels 10L, 10C, and 10R during operation in the normal state. The display content of the middle panel 10C is the same as that in FIG. On the other hand, the display contents of the left and right panels 10L and 10R are different from those in FIG. On the left panel 10L, the model name of the gaming machine 51 is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner by displaying characters and the like appearing in the game effects. On the right panel 10R, game spec information such as jackpot probability and probability variation probability is displayed. In addition, if a touch operation is performed on the display surface of the middle panel 10C on which the touch screen sheet 100 is laminated, for example, another normal screen (not illustrated) including a graph display of the number of balls obtained by subtracting the number of balls to be thrown out from the number of balls to be paid out. Switching is possible. Such switching display can be performed even during the display of the normal screen in the above-described empty state.

In the above-described production states (a) and (b), which can be referred to as a standby state of an overall production and an individual production described later accompanied by a rotation operation of the left and right panels 10L, R, for example, the following information is listed in the left and right panels 10L. , R can be displayed. Any one of these pieces of information can be selectively displayed according to the display setting or the like, or each piece of information can be displayed in turn.
(1) Images and specifications of gaming machine models.
(2) The number of balls possessed by the gaming device, and the number of balls possessed corresponding to the total number of balls sold and (safe-out).
(3) Status indications such as fraud, inspections, errors, vacancies, and meals.
(4) Display of maximum information such as maximum hit count and maximum number of balls.
(5) When the number of jackpots or the maximum number of balls has exceeded the reference value, the number of jackpots is displayed.
(6) Basic data such as start count (start count, start) and big hit count.

(C) Overall effect The overall effect is one of the characteristic effects in the game system 1S. This overall effect is executed in conjunction with a plurality of game information display devices 1. As the overall effects, two types of overall effects are set. One is the overall effect of the jackpot effect (the overall jackpot effect), and the other is the overall effect (the overall achievement effect) of the achievement effect. For any of the overall effects, not only the game information display device 1 (establishment device, jackpot device) corresponding to the gaming machine 51 (achievement table, generation table) that is the event generation source, The left and right panels 10L, R of the game information display device 1 (other device, other big hit device) corresponding to the other gaming machine 51 rotate to the big hit position (first position with a rotation angle of 90 degrees) in FIG. Then, an effect in which a plurality of game information display devices 1 are linked is executed.

(C.1) Overall production of jackpot production (overall jackpot production)
The overall jackpot effect is a game information display device 1 (big hit device) corresponding to the gaming machine 51 (generation unit) of the event (hit) when the big hit occurs, and a game corresponding to another gaming machine 51. This is an effect that is executed in conjunction with the information display device 1 (other jackpot device). In the overall big hit effect, the left and right panels 10L, R of the plurality of game information display devices 1 are rotated to the big hit position (first position with a rotation angle of 90 degrees) in FIG. The

  The overall jackpot production is based on the fact that the big hit has occurred according to the occurrence of the big hit (satisfaction conditions established, the overall presentation conditions established), the number of the generating base, the number of hits of the generating base, the number of jackpots for each model, etc. This is an effect that is displayed together with an image corresponding to the model of the generation table. Note that, for example, a big hit effect may be performed under conditions such as the fifth big hit.

  The game information display device 1 corresponding to the game machine 51 that is the source of the big hit rotates the left and right panels 10L and 10R to the first position (big hit position) shown in FIG. A production jackpot signal is output to the information display device 1. Further, the effect jackpot signal is output to the adjacent game information display device 1 by the adjacent game information display device 1. By such processing, when the big hit state occurs, the other game information display device 1 can input the production big hit signal.

  In the other game information display device 1, the left and right panels 10L, R are controlled to rotate to the first position shown in FIG. 15A in response to the input of the effect jackpot signal. Thereby, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the orientations of the display surfaces of the display panels 10 </ b> L, C, and R of the plurality of game information display devices 1 are substantially flush with the passage side. For the game information display devices 1 other than the game information display device 1 corresponding to the game machine 51 that has generated the big hit state, the display panels 10L, C, and R are temporarily turned off, and then the game machine 51 that has generated the game is displayed. The game information display device 1 corresponding to is produced only, and thereafter, the overall jackpot effect for 15 seconds is integrally executed as the overall effect in which the images by all the display panels 10L, 10C, 10R are interlocked. This figure is an example of the overall effect when a big hit occurs at the second gaming machine 51 from the front, and the big hit characters are displayed on the display panels 10L, C, R of the corresponding game information display device 1. Yes.

(C.2) Overall presentation of the achievement presentation (overall achievement presentation)
When the game information such as the number of consecutive chans, the number of balls (TY) in the consecutive chan, the number of games, the number of games, etc. reaches the reference value (satisfaction condition is achieved, the overall performance conditions It is an effect to display information and an image in accordance with the achieved content in the same manner as the big hit effect.

  When the game information reaches a reference value, the overall achievement effect is applied not only to the game information display device 1 (establishment device) corresponding to the game machine 51 (achievement stand) that generated the event, but also to other game machines 51. This is an overall effect that is executed in conjunction with the corresponding game information display device 1 (other device). In this overall achievement effect, the left and right panels 10L, R of the plurality of game information display devices 1 rotate to the big hit position (first position with a rotation angle of 90 degrees) in FIG. The overall presentation is then executed. Although the display contents are different, the rotation control of the left and right panels 10L, R during execution of the effect is the same as in the case of the overall jackpot effect.

  The game information display device 1 corresponding to the game machine 51 of the achievement stand rotates the left and right panels 10L and 10R to the first position (big hit position) shown in FIG. An effect achievement signal is output to the device 1. Further, the effect achievement signal is output to the adjacent game information display device 1 by the adjacent game information display device 1. Through such processing, an effect achievement signal is input to the other game information display device 1 in response to the occurrence of an event that the game information has reached the reference value.

  In the other game information display device 1 to which the effect achievement signal has been input, control for rotating the left and right panels 10L and 10R to the first position shown in FIG. As a result, the display panels 10L, C, and R of the plurality of game information display devices 1 are substantially flush with the display surfaces oriented in the passage side, and the display panels 10 are interlocked in this flush state. The overall achievement effect is executed (substantially the same as in FIG. 19 except for the display contents).

(D) Achievement production individual production (individual achievement production)
The individual achievement effect is an individual achievement effect that is individually executed only by the gaming machine 51 of the achievement stand after the completion of the above (c.2) overall achievement effect executed by the plurality of game information display devices 1 ( Individual production). In the individual achievement effect, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are set to the normal positions (third position, first rotation position) in FIG. 15C until the set number of seconds (reference time) has elapsed (for example, 10 seconds). After the achievement information is displayed at 10L, R, the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated to the continuous position (second position, second rotation position) in FIG. The display is executed until the set number of seconds (reference time) elapses, and thereafter, the process of rotating the left and right panels 10L, R to the normal position (third position) is repeatedly executed a set number of times (for example, 3 times). If achievement information is displayed on the left and right panels 10L, R at the normal position, the achievement information can be effectively notified to other players.
(E) Continuous Chan Effect The continuous change effect is an effect that is executed while the continuous change state continues. Here, the continuous change state (continuous change) means that, after a big hit occurs in the normal state, it returns to the normal state, from the return to the normal state to the time the symbol changes for the reference value or the game is played, etc. State. The number of consecutive chunks means the number of jackpots that occurred during consecutive chunks. In this example, from the end of the big hit until the symbol variation occurs 100 times is handled as a continuous state.

  In the continuous-changing state, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are rotated so that the continuous-changing position (second position) in FIG. This continuous position is a position where the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated forward so that the left and right panels 10L, R face inward with respect to the middle panel 10C. When the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated to the continuous position, the three display panels 10L, C, R surround the player.

  In this state, the three display panels 10L, 10C, and 10R display game information or effect display for all players. In the display example of FIG. 20, the middle panel 10 </ b> C executes the effect display during the continuous change, the left panel 10 </ b> L displays the remaining number of games in the continuous change state, and the right panel 10 </ b> R displays the number of the outstanding balls in the continuous change. It is an example.

  Next, explanation will be given on the grouping at the time of executing the overall effect and the priority effect order for executing the interrupt of the overall effect. The grouping is a grouping of the game information display device 1 that is a criterion for determining whether or not to execute the overall effect operation. The priority rendering order is a control arrangement when an overall rendering occurs during execution of another rendering.

(Grouping)
In the game hall system 1S, each game information display device 1 is grouped as a group for executing the overall effect.
The first group is a group of gaming machine islands 5 (see FIG. 1). The game information display device 1 as the first group performs movement blinking (so-called light flow) of the lamp unit 108 in units of groups when an event such as a big hit occurs.
The second group is a group of model units (corresponding to a group by group means). The overall effect of displaying the corresponding image with the left and right panels 10L, R being 90 degrees (big hit position, first position) in the second group unit is performed.
For example, the game information display device 1 corresponding to a gaming machine 51 installed on a certain gaming machine island 5 belongs to a first group corresponding to the gaming machine island 5 and is a second corresponding to the model of the gaming machine 51. Belongs to a group.

  The game information display device 1 is installed above the gaming machine 51 corresponding to the game information from which the determination result is obtained when the determination result that the achievement condition that is the effect condition (the overall effect condition) is satisfied occurs. The display surface of the left and right panels 10L, R in the establishment device that is the game information display device 1 and the other device that is the game information display device 1 that belongs to the same second group as the establishment device is the same orientation as the display surface of the middle panel 10C The overall effect control for rotating the left and right panels 10L and R is executed so that Further, when executing the overall effect control, the entire display control for displaying the effect information in conjunction with the establishment device and the other device is executed.

  For example, when an event such as a big hit occurs in any gaming machine 51 with the gaming machine island 5 as the first group and the model as the second group, the optical flow is performed in the entire gaming machine island 5 belonging to the same first group. On the other hand, the overall effect (the overall jackpot effect and the overall achievement effect) in which the rotation angles of the left and right panels 10L and R are set to 90 degrees is performed in units of models belonging to the same second group. That is, when an event occurs in another type of gaming machine 51 in the gaming machine island 5, the effect is that the light flow is performed but the overall effect is not performed.

  The first group and the second group do not necessarily correspond to each other. For example, when the same model is installed in different gaming machine islands 5, the first group may be different but the second group may be the same. The second group may be divided within the first group. Further, any grouping may be used, for example, the gaming machine island 5 facing each other is set as the first group.

(Priority production order)
In the game hall system 1S, when a new overall effect occurs during the execution of the overall effect or the individual effects, the new overall effect is preferentially executed. For example, when a big hit occurs at another stand during execution of the individual achievement effect, the individual effect is interrupted and the overall effect of the big hit is performed with priority.

  Each game information display device 1 performs display according to the state when the game state is switched, but gives priority to the overall effect when the game state is switched during the execution of the overall effect. For example, when the special state is finished and returned to the normal state during the whole production that occurred during the special state such as the continuous state, the whole production is continuously performed, and the display of the normal state is returned after the whole production is finished. On the other hand, when a big hit occurs during the overall presentation, the overall presentation by the big hit is given priority as described above.

If another overall production occurs during the overall production, etc., the latest overall production may be prioritized as described above, but the production was suspended and the whole production that was on hold was suspended after the production was completed. Production may be performed. Further, when an overall effect occurs during an individual effect, the overall effect may be given priority, but the remaining individual effects may be performed after the overall effect.
If the effects overlap, the priorities may be set as described above, but it is possible to separately set the priorities of which effects are prioritized.

  Further, as an overall effect, it is only necessary to display one image linked with all the game information display devices 1 belonging to the second group, but only the event occurrence table displays that the event has occurred, The game information display device 1 may display one or a plurality of images (for example, linked display in which the images are divided by the generation table such as the right side and the left side of the generation table). The images to be displayed may be displayed in conjunction with each other, for example, by synchronizing them.

  Next, the operation of the game information display device 1 in the game hall system 1S will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  In FIG. 21, circled numbers 1 to 11 attached separately from the processing step numbers indicate the flow of processing corresponding to (1) state processing that is switched depending on the gaming state and jackpot effect. The circled numbers 12 to 19 indicate the flow of (2) own stand effect processing regarding the own stand effect, that is, the effect related to the game of the corresponding gaming machine 51. The circled numbers 20 to 22 indicate the flow of (3) other stand processing that is switched by a production signal (production big hit signal, production achievement signal) from another table.

(1) State Processing In the state processing, each determination is made as to whether or not a big hit is being made (S101), whether or not a special state is being made (S102), and whether or not a big hit has been started (S105). The process flow when not in the big hit (S101: NO), not in the special state (S102: NO), and when the big hit state has not started (S105: NO) is the standby flow in the state process.

  When the big hit occurs (S105: YES), the game information display device 1 rotates the left and right panels 10L and 10R to the big hit position (the first position in FIG. 15A) (S106). Then, along with the transmission of the effect jackpot signal (S107), the jackpot effect as the overall effect is started (S108), and the number of jackpots is updated (S109). The flow during the execution of the big hit effect after the start of the big hit effect is as follows: during the big hit (S101: YES) → no big hit end (S161: NO) → during the big hit effect (S171: YES) → no big hit effect It is like the end (S172: NO).

  Thereafter, when the big hit effect ends (S172: YES), if the achievement condition that is the production condition is not satisfied by the number of big hits or the like (S173: NO), the left and right panels 10L, R are in the big hit position (FIG. 15A). The display panels 10L, C, and R are displayed in the big hit state (S174) with the first position) (S174), the big hit (S101: YES) → the big hit is not completed (S161: NO) → the big hit effect is ended (S171: NO) It becomes a waiting flow during the big hit. On the other hand, if the achievement condition is established by the number of big hits or the like (S173: YES), an effect achievement signal is transmitted (S149) and the overall achievement effect is started (S150).

(2) Own stand effect processing When neither the individual effect nor the overall achievement effect of the own stand (S110: NO → S141: NO), not the big hit effect (S146: NO), and the achievement condition that is the effect condition is not satisfied The process flow of (S147: NO) is a standby flow when the effect is not executed.
During the big hit production, the flow of YES is made in S146, while the overall achievement production using the above-mentioned own machine as a generating machine is not in the individual production but in the overall achievement production of the own machine (S110: NO → S141: YES) ), The overall achievement production flow has been completed (S142: NO).

  Thereafter, when the overall achievement effect is finished (S142: YES), the rotation numbers of the left and right panels 10L and R are initialized (S143), and the left and right panels 10L and R are moved to the normal positions (the third position and the third position in FIG. 15C). 1), the individual effect is started and the achievement information is displayed (S144, S145), and the individual effect is displayed during the individual effect (S110: YES) → the set number of seconds have not elapsed (S111: NO). When the set number of seconds (reference time) has elapsed (S111: YES) and the left and right panels 10L and R are in positions other than the continuous position (S112: NO), the left and right panels 10L and R are moved to the continuous position. It is rotated to (second position, second rotation position in FIG. 15B) (S131).

  When the left and right panels 10L and R are in the continuous position shown in FIG. 15B and the set number of seconds has passed (S112: YES), the number of rotations is added once and updated (S113). It is determined whether or not the number of movements reaches the set number (three times) (S114). If the number of rotations does not reach the set number (S114: NO), the left and right panels 10L, R are set to the normal positions in FIG. 15C (S115), and achievement information is displayed (S116), as described above. The opening / closing operation of the left and right panels 10L, R between the continuous position and the normal position is executed until the number of rotations reaches the set number, and individual effects (S114: YES) until the number of rotations reaches the set number (S114: YES). For example, (10 seconds + 10 seconds) × 3 times about 60 seconds) is executed (S132).

  Further, in the standby flow of S110: NO → S141: NO → S146: NO → S147: NO, for example, when the TY, the number of games, etc. reach the reference value and the achievement condition is satisfied (S147: YES), the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated to the big hit position of FIG. 15A (S148), and an effect achievement signal is transmitted (S149), and the overall achievement effect is started (S150).

  As described above, in the own stage effect process, when the determination result that the achievement condition (effect condition, overall effect condition) is satisfied after the overall achievement effect (entire display effect) is finished, the left and right panels 10L and 10L The left and right panels 10L and 10L are moved to a normal position different from the position where the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated by the first rotation control. Special effect control is performed in which second rotation control for rotating R is performed for a preset number of times. During the execution of the special effect control, the control unit maintains the state in the continuous position for a set number of seconds (reference time) and maintains the state in the normal position for a set number of seconds. The display content of at least one of the right panels 10L and 10R is different from the display content in the continuous position and the normal position. In addition, you may employ | adopt the back rotation control which rotates the left-right panels 10L and R back as 1st rotation control.

(3) Other stand processing The stand-by flow of the other stand processing is such that neither the production big hit signal nor the production achievement signal has been received (S117: NO), and the other stage is not in the overall production (S118: NO). When an effect big hit signal or the like is received from another stand (S117: YES), the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated to the big hit position (S135), and the overall effect for the other stand is executed (S136). Here, as the overall effect process for the other stands, as shown in the flow of the other stand overall effect process in FIG. 22, each display panel 10L, C, R is turned off and the end of the effect on the generation stand (corresponding stand) is awaited ( (S201) After that, image display in conjunction with other units is performed (S202), and after the image display is finished, processing for displaying information about the generated unit, game information that causes the generation of the unit number and production, etc. is performed. (S203).

Further, for example, the game information display device 1 of a generating table or a preset representative table becomes a host so that a plurality of game information display devices 1 are linked, and processing is performed so that the effects are linked by appropriately transmitting a synchronization signal. As shown in the flow, even when other effects such as individual effects are being received, if an effect jackpot signal or the like is received, priority is given to the entire other stage effect.
During the overall presentation, the flow is S117: NO → Overall presentation of another stand (S118: YES) → Unfinished overall presentation (S119: NO). As described above, when the overall effect is finished (S119: YES), the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated to positions according to the state (S120), and the display content according to the state is displayed on each display panel 10L, C, R. It is displayed (S121).

As described above, the gaming information display device 1 is a gaming information display device 1 installed above the gaming machine 51 in which the fact that the big hit state has occurred is specified when it is specified that the big hit state has occurred. The left and right panels 10L and 10L are arranged in the same direction as the display surface of the middle panel 10C in the big hit device and the other big hit devices which are game information display devices 1 belonging to the same second group as the big hit device. , R is the overall big hit effect control. When the overall jackpot effect control is executed, the overall jackpot display control for displaying effect information is executed in conjunction with the jackpot device and the other jackpot device (see FIG. 19). The overall jackpot effect control is executed in preference to the special effect control in the execution state when the game information display device 1 in the execution state of the special effect control becomes a new other jackpot device. Is done.
In addition, when the game information display device 1 obtains a determination result indicating that the achievement condition that is the effect condition (overall effect condition) is established, the game information display device 1 is located above the gaming machine 51 corresponding to the game information obtained. The display surface of the left and right panels 10L, R in the established device that is the game information display device 1 installed and the other device that is the game information display device 1 that belongs to the same group as the established device is the same orientation as the display surface of the middle panel 10C The overall effect control for rotating the left and right panels 10L and R is executed so that

  Note that (1) If the big hit ends in the big hit waiting flow (S101: YES → S161: NO → S171: NO) in the state processing (S161: YES), if the overall effect is not in progress (S162: NO) ), It is determined whether or not a special state (continuous state) has started (S163). If the special state has been started (S163: YES), the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated to the continuous position (S168), and the display of each display panel 10L, C, R is set to the display in the special state ( S169). If the special state is not started and is in the normal state (S163: NO), the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated to the normal position (S164), and the display on each display panel 10L, C, R is displayed in the normal state. (S165). On the other hand, if the overall effect is being performed (S162: YES), the overall effect is given priority over the switching of the state other than the big hit state, and the overall effect is continued.

  The standby flow during the special state is not a big hit (S101: NO) → in a special state (S102: YES) → no special state is finished (S103: NO) → before a big hit is started (S105: NO). When the big hit is started (S105: YES), it is the same as in the normal time, while when the special state is finished (S103: YES), if the overall production is being performed (S104: YES) as in the case of the big hit. If the overall effect is given priority and the overall effect is not being performed (S104: NO), the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated to the normal state (S164), and the display of each display panel 10L, C, and R is in the normal state. Displayed (S165).

  Thus, when it is specified that the gaming machine 51 is in the normal state, the positions of the left and right panels 10L and R in the gaming information display device 1 installed above the gaming machine 51 are other than the normal state. The normal rotation control for rotating the left and right panels 10L, R so as to be the normal position that is different from the positions of the left and right panels 10L, R corresponding to the gaming state is executed. The game information display device 1 executes overall display control for displaying effect information in conjunction with the establishment device and the other device when the overall effect control is executed, while executing the overall display control. In the state, the overall display control executed in response to the establishment of a new presentation condition (overall presentation condition) within the target group is executed in preference to the overall display control in the execution state, and the normal rotation The control is executed after the entire display control is completed when the gaming machine 51 is in the normal state in the execution state of the entire display control.

  Further, in the game hall system 1S of the present example, when the above-described overall character display condition is satisfied, the display surfaces of the left and right panels 10L and R in the plurality of adjacent game information display devices 1 are the same as the display surface of the middle panel 10C. Whole character effect control for rotating the left and right panels 10L, R so as to be oriented is executed. During the execution of the overall character effect control, as shown in FIG. 23, the overall character display control is executed in conjunction with the plurality of game information display devices 1 on which the overall character effect control is executed. In this whole character display control, character information is displayed with characters having a character size Hm longer than half of the vertical length Hd of the display panels 10L, C, R, while the display control is performed with a single background color. .

  As described above, the game information display device 1 in the game hall system 1S includes the left and right panels 10L and R located on the left and right sides in addition to the middle panel 10C located at the center. The left and right panels 10L and 10R can be rotated in the front-rear direction around a rotation shaft 11S provided on both ends of the middle panel 10C. According to the game information display device 1, for example, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are appropriately set according to whether the opponent whose information is to be displayed is a player who is playing a game, or another player or employee. Rotation control is possible. If such rotation control is executed for the left and right panels 10L, R, not only the player's willingness to play can be increased, but also the visibility of the display contents can be improved, and consequently the operating rate of the gaming machine 51 can be improved.

  When the vacant state is present, information indicating that the gaming machine 51 is vacant is displayed with the left and right panels 10L and 10L facing outward (see FIG. 17). If such a display is executed, for example, it is possible to appeal that a player who is looking for a gaming machine is in an empty state and start the game, and increase the operating rate of the gaming machine 51. Can do.

  When a big hit state occurs, a big hit signal is output to the other game information display devices 1 of the gaming machine island 5 so that the entire gaming machine island 5 is integrated in cooperation with the other game information display devices 1. The big hit effect can be displayed (see FIG. 19). If such an integrated display is executed, it is possible to greatly congratulate the occurrence of a big hit and to increase the atmosphere of the entire gaming machine island 5 and, consequently, the entire game arcade, so that the player's willingness to play can be enhanced.

  Further, in the continuous Chang state, the player is surrounded by the three display panels 10L, C, R with the left and right panels 10L, R facing inward, and game information relating to the continuous state is displayed (see FIG. 20). If such a display is executed, the player's expectation for the reaming can be enhanced.

  In the game information display device 1, when an achievement condition that is an effect condition is established, a first rotation control that is a front rotation control that rotates the left and right panels 10L and R to the front continuous position, and a first rotation. The special effect control is performed in which the second rotation control for rotating the left and right panels 10L and R to the normal position different from the position where the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated by the control is performed for a preset number of times. The

  In the game information display device 1, the left and right panels 10 </ b> L and R are rotated by the special effect control, thereby generating an effect that the effect condition that can be satisfied by the occurrence of the big hit or the specific game information reaching the reference value is satisfied. This makes it possible not only to give more satisfaction to the player who has established the production condition, but also to make it easier to appeal to other players that the production condition has been established.

  In the game information display device 1, the left and right of the game information display device 1 (established device) corresponding to the gaming machine 51 for which the achievement condition which is the production condition is satisfied, and other game information display devices 1 (other devices) belonging to the same group. The special effect control described above is executed after the completion of the overall achievement effect (entire display control) in which the panels 10L and R are flush with the middle panel 10C and display the effect information. Blessed that the achievement condition was established by the overall achievement effect, and raised the atmosphere of the entire gaming machine island 5 and eventually the entire game hall, the achievement condition was established in any gaming machine 51 by the special effect control. This not only enhances the player's satisfaction, but also increases the appeal to other players.

  In addition, the game information display device 1 controls the left and right panels 10L, R during the special effect process to maintain the state at the continuous position for a set time (reference time) and to maintain the state at the normal position for the set time. At this time, the display contents of at least one of the left and right panels 10L and 10R are set to display contents different in the continuous position and the normal position. In this way, if the display contents of the left and right panels 10L, R are different between the continuous channel position and the normal position during the special effect control, for example, when the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated even during the special effect control. When the position is easy to see for a player who plays the corresponding gaming machine 51, the game information is for the player, and when it is easy to see for other players, the game information is for other players. Can be displayed, and the production value of the special production control itself can be increased.

  When the game information display device 1 in the execution state of the special effect control newly becomes the other jackpot device, the overall jackpot effect control is executed with priority over the special effect control in the execution state. Even if special effect control is being executed, priority is given to the overall jackpot effect control, so that the overall jackpot effect control for greatly congratulating the occurrence of the big hit is part of the game information display device during the special effect It is possible to avoid the possibility of being carried out in a state where the so-called tooth loss is caused by the presence of 1.

  When a new production condition (overall production condition) is established in the target group during the execution of the overall display control by the game information display device 1, the overall display control executed in accordance with the new establishment is being executed. When the gaming machine 51 is in a normal state during the execution of the entire display control, the left and right panels 10L and 10R are rotated to the normal position after the entire display control is completed. Controlled. In this way, with respect to the entire display effect, by newly executing the entire display effect that is generated as needed, it is possible to greatly effect that the effect condition has been established, while at the same time the normal position corresponding to the normal state. By performing the normal rotation control to be returned after the entire display effect is completed, even if any of the gaming machines 51 in the group is in the normal state during the entire display effect, the entire display effect is a so-called tooth. It is possible to avoid the situation that is executed in the state of missing.

  In the game information display device 1, the normal position that is the rotation position of the left and right panels 10L, R when the corresponding gaming machine 51 is in the normal state is the reference position (for example, the rotation position of FIG. 16C). A special position (for example, the rotation position in FIG. 16D) where the interval between the adjacent game information display devices 1 is wider than that in the case of the reference position can be set.

  If there is no other device set on the gaming machine island 5, or if it does not interfere with the use of other devices installed on the gaming machine island 5, the reference position may be set as the normal position. . On the other hand, when the game information display device 1 may interfere with the use of other devices, the special position is set to the normal position, thereby reducing the possibility of disturbing the use of other devices. The rotation control of the display panels 10L and R can be executed without impairing the ease of use of the device or the like.

In the game information display device 1, the normal position is set at a position different from the big hit position, which is the rotation position of the left and right panels 10 </ b> L, R, when the overall big hit effect and the overall achievement effect are executed by the overall effect control.
It is possible to set a normal position at a different position from the positions of the left and right panels 10L and R when the atmosphere of the entire gaming machine island, and thus the entire game hall, is greatly blessed by the fact that the production conditions are established by the overall display control. For this reason, it is possible to perform rotation control of the display panel in consideration of the use of other devices and the like while making it possible to execute a sharp effect.

In the game information display device 1, in the execution state of the overall effect control, at least one of the left and right panels 10L, R can be rotated by a manual operation by pressing.
Even during the entire display control, for example, it may be assumed that another device or the like is to be used, such as inserting coins. In this case, the entire display can be performed by pressing the display panels 10L and R to be rotatable. It becomes possible to reduce the necessity of waiting for the use of another device or the like until the control is completed.

The continuous channel position, which is the rotational position of the left and right panels 10L, R in the continuous channel state, is a position where the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated forward so as to face the inner panel 10C. The normal position corresponding to the normal state is a position where the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated rearward so as to face outward with respect to the middle panel 10C.
Since the player of the corresponding gaming machine 51 is in a certain excitement state in the continuous state, the left and right panels 10L and R can be directed inward to enhance the excitement of the player. On the other hand, in the normal state, for example, money may be inserted, and the use frequency of other devices becomes higher than the continuous state, so the positions where the left and right panels 10L, R are rotated backward are set. By setting the normal position, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the use of other devices or the like is restricted, and thus it is possible to control the rotation of the left and right panels 10L and 10R so as to be in an appropriate position according to the gaming state.

The game information display device 1 can execute overall character effect control in which a plurality of game information display devices 1 are interlocked according to the establishment of the overall character display condition. In this whole character display control, character information is displayed with characters having a character size longer than half of the vertical length of the display panels 10L, 10C, 10R, while the background is displayed in a single color.
For example, by executing overall character display control immediately before the opening of the game hall, etc., it is possible to produce the opening of the game hall itself to the player, and since the background is monochromatic, the characters are more than when the game information is used as the background. It becomes possible to make the information itself stand out.

  As described above, the game information display device 1 is capable of displaying various kinds of information to the player by an unprecedented novel means, and has excellent characteristics that can further improve the visibility of the display content. An information display device.

Note that the following configuration may be employed instead of or in addition to the configuration of this example. Further, the above-described configuration or the following configuration may be combined as appropriate.
In the individual effects, it is illustrated that the normal position is changed to the continuous position, but the continuous position is changed to the normal position, and the continuous position or the normal position is changed to another position such as a big hit position. Any control may be used as long as the panel is rotated to different positions. Of course, you may rotate from the position according to a state to the position other than that, and it is good also considering the position which does not correspond to a state. Of course, the set number of seconds for standby during the individual effects may be different for each position.

Although the example of performing the individual effect after the overall effect is illustrated, it may be performed before the overall effect or may be performed without the overall effect. In addition, although the individual effect is performed only by the achievement stand, the rotation control performed by the individual effect may be performed together with the game information display devices belonging to the second group other than the achievement stand.
While it is exemplified that both the left and right panels 10L and 10R have different display contents at the normal position and the big hit position during the individual performance, if at least one of the left and right panels 10L and 10R has different display contents, the other is displayed. It is not necessary to change.
A condition that is established when a big hit state occurs, such as performing an individual effect when a big hit state occurs, may be used as the production condition.
Further, an integer is exemplified as the set number of times for the set number of times. For example, the first rotation position → the second rotation position → the first rotation position → the second rotation position → the first rotation. The moving position is 2.5 times, and the special effect control is ended 2.3 times before the final first turning position, but any setting may be used.

If the setting values illustrated are set in advance, the setting information can be obtained from an external management server (for example, chain store headquarters), whether it is arbitrarily set by the game hall manager, or set by the manufacturer of the management device. You may download and set it.
All illustrated game information may be specified directly by an input signal or indirectly by using an arithmetic expression. In addition, numerical values, the number of digits, items, and the like are examples, and any numerical values may be adopted.
Expressions such as not exceeding a certain value, reaching a certain value, and the like also include a configuration for determining whether or not the value exceeds or exceeds the reference value. Similarly, a configuration in which it is determined not to be less than the following is included.

  In this example, a pachinko gaming machine is illustrated as the gaming machine 51. The pachinko gaming machine may be a type that pays out balls according to winnings, or is a so-called encapsulated pachinko gaming machine in which balls are fired using points and points are awarded according to winnings. Also good. The gaming machine 51 may be a slot machine. Slot machines that are played using medals and coins as game media (game value) may be used, and medals can be used (gambling) using game value points and points are awarded when winning. May be a so-called complete credit type slot machine.

In the case of a gaming machine that does not output a special state signal such as a slot machine, the rotation control may be performed with the period from the end of the big hit until the reference game is executed as a special state.
The illustrated processing may be shared by any device such as a relay device, a game device, or a management device as well as the game information display device.

The display contents on the display panels 10L, 10C, and 10R are examples, and are not limited thereto. Arbitrary various game information on the game hall side can be displayed to the player.
In addition, the position according to the gaming state may be any correspondence or angle, such as the normal position is the second position and the continuous position is the third position.

In this example, it is assumed that the symbol change occurs 100 times after the big hit is finished, but the continuous change period can be appropriately set by the game hall side. It is desirable to arbitrarily set the number of start times regarded as a continuous channel period within a range of about 10 to 100.
A gaming machine capable of generating a high-probability state that improves the winning probability of jackpot can be set as a continuous state until it returns to a normal state, such as the end of the high-probability state, regardless of the number of starts. When applied to a slot machine, the number of game executions corresponds to the number of start times (start number).

  In this example, the game information display device 1 corresponding to the gaming machine 51 in which the big hit state has occurred outputs an effect big hit signal (effect signal) to the adjacent game information display devices 1, and the adjacent game information display device. 1 illustrates a configuration in which an effect jackpot signal is output to the adjacent game information display device 1 and all the game information display devices 1 on the gaming machine island 5 input an effect jackpot signal. Instead of this, the game information display device 1 that is the source of the big hit state may be configured to directly output the production big hit signal to all the other game information display devices 1 of the gaming machine island 5. Or the management apparatus 50 which received the production | presentation jackpot signal may be the structure of outputting a production | presentation jackpot signal with respect to the other game information display apparatus 1 installed in the same gaming machine island 5, and production conditions are satisfied. The same applies to the effect achievement signal in the case of the above.

The type of game information displayed by the game information display device 1 is not limited to this example, and various types of game information can be employed.
In the empty state, the left and right panels 10L and R indicate that they are vacant. However, it is also possible to display that only one of the left and right panels 10L and R is vacant. Similarly, the game information related to the continuous-changing state may be displayed on only one of the left and right panels 10L and 10R in the continuous-changing state.

  This example is an example in which the left and right panels 10L and R are rotated in the same manner. Different rotation operations may be performed on the left and right panels 10L and 10R. For example, the left panel 10L is rotated rearward and the right panel 10R is rotated forward, or the display surface of the left panel 10L is set to the same direction as the middle panel 10C while the right panel 10R is moved forward. It is also possible to perform a pivoting operation such as pivoting.

In this example, the rotation positions of the left and right panels 10L and R folded along the side surface of the housing 12 are set to 45 degrees and 90 degrees as the reference zero degrees as the rotation positions of the left and right panels 10L and R during production. , A rotation position of 135 degrees is illustrated. A rotation position with a rotation angle of zero degrees or 180 degrees may be added to the rotation position during the production.
You may make it adjust the rotation angle of the left panel 10L and the right panel 10R according to the shape of the whole gaming machine island. Specifically, for example, when the entire gaming machine island has an arc shape, the rotation angle can be adjusted so that the left panel 10L and the right panel 10R follow the arc.

  The determination of the vacant state may be performed based on an image of a camera provided in each gaming machine that can capture a player. It is also possible to provide a seating sensor on the gaming chair and determine the vacant state using the sensor output. When a game signal such as an out signal is not input for a predetermined time, there is a possibility that it can be determined to be free.

  As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described in detail, these Examples are only disclosing the example of the technique included by a claim. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the embodiments. The scope of the claims includes techniques that variously modify, change, or appropriately combine the embodiments using known techniques and knowledge of those skilled in the art.
