Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-131424

In the configuration of Patent Document 1, since the display surface is bent at the boundary between the display surfaces, when an image covering a plurality of display surfaces is displayed, the image becomes unnatural at the boundary portion, and a sense of presence is obtained. It is damaged. Such a problem can be alleviated or solved by bending the display surface, but the adoption of a curved display significantly increases the cost. Further, the method of projecting on a curved screen is difficult to realize in the current general game machines because the installation space of the projector cannot be secured.

The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game machine capable of performing an effect display rich in a sense of reality as compared with the above-mentioned conventional configuration while suppressing an increase in manufacturing cost.

The present invention comprises a flat panel display, a central display arranged so that the display surface faces the player substantially, and a flat panel display, laterally arranged on at least one side of the central display. The side display is provided with a display, and the side display sets an angle at which the display surface of the side display and the display surface of the center display are parallel to each other in the same direction. It is configured so that it can be held in a forward tilted state in which it is set to 0 ° with respect to the display surface and extends diagonally forward at a predetermined angle greater than 0 ° and less than 90 ° with respect to the display surface of the central display. The display surface of the display is partially covered with a decorative member to form a central display area, and the display surface of the side display is partially covered with a decorative member to be inclined forward. In this state, a side display area extending diagonally forward at a predetermined angle is formed from a position close to one side of the center display area, and the center display area is displayed laterally from the center. A gaming machine characterized in that it has a shape that becomes wider as the regions approach the one side portion. Here, the angle formed by the two display surfaces is 0 ° when the two display surfaces face the same direction, and 180 ° when the two display surfaces are completely reversed. Further, the front of the game machine is the front direction of the game machine.

In such a configuration, the side display area is tilted forward and extends diagonally forward from both sides of the center display area, but the center display area becomes wider as it approaches the side display area. As a result, even though it is flat, it is perceived as if it extends forward toward the boundary with the side display area. As described above, in such a configuration, the central display area is also perceived as extending forward at the boundary with the side display area in the same manner as the side display area. Bending becomes less noticeable, and the sense of unity between the central display area and the side display area can be enhanced. Therefore, according to such a configuration, it is possible to realize a more realistic effect display than before by combining the flat panel displays.

In the present invention, one side display is arranged on each side of the center display, and the side display area is the center of each side display in the forward tilted state. It is formed so as to extend diagonally forward at the predetermined angle from a position close to both sides of the display area, and the central display area is curved in an arc shape in which at least one side edge is recessed inward. The width is narrower toward the center, and wider toward both sides where the side display areas are close to each other. It is proposed that the side edge extending diagonally forward and the side edge curved in an arc shape of the central display region are continuously visible from a predetermined front viewpoint.

According to such a configuration, the player can perceive the central display area and the side display area as if they are displayed on a continuous curved display surface in the forward tilted state of the side display. Therefore, the boundary portion between the two display areas becomes less noticeable.

Further, in the present invention, the display surfaces of the central display and the side display are each covered with a transparent panel, and the surface of the transparent panel covering the display surface of the central display is the central display. A transparent panel that is curved to the front side so that the wall thickness increases from the portion that covers the central portion of the region toward the one side portion that is closer to the lateral display region, and covers the display surface of the lateral display. It is proposed that the surface is inclined with respect to the display surface of the side display so that the portion closer to the one side portion of the central display region becomes thicker.

In such a configuration, at the boundary between the display surfaces of the central display and the side display, the angle formed by the surface of the transparent panel covering each display is smaller than the angle formed by the display surface of each display. The transparent panel that covers the display surface makes the bent portion of the display surface of the central display and the side display more inconspicuous.

Further, in the present invention, the effect control means for controlling the display contents of the central display and the side display according to the progress of the game is provided, and the effect control means displays a predetermined image at least in the center. It is provided with a specific effect of displaying over an area and the side display area, and in the specific effect, the size of the display object included in the predetermined image is determined by the central display area and the side of the position where the display object is displayed. A configuration is proposed in which the image is enlarged or reduced at a magnification that matches the width of the display area.

In such a configuration, during the specific effect, the display object of the predetermined image is displayed larger in the central display area as it approaches the side display area, so that the central display area is curved and both side portions extend forward. It becomes easier to perceive as if.

Further, in the present invention, the side display area has a shape that becomes narrower toward a portion closer to the one side portion of the center display area, and the display surface of the side display has the decorative member. A configuration is proposed in which a display area different from the side display area is formed in the vicinity of a portion of the side display area near the one side of the center display area by partially covering with. To. In such a configuration, the side display area is shaped so that the width becomes narrower toward one side of the center display area, so that the side display area extends forward from the actual game. Can be perceived by a person. Further, in such a configuration, since different display areas are formed in the vicinity of the portion where the side display area becomes narrow, the rectangular display surface of the side display can be effectively utilized.

Further, in the present invention, the side indicators are arranged one by one on each of the plate-shaped members rotatably supported on both sides of the central indicator, and both sides of the central indicator. Each plate-shaped member is arranged so as to rotate the display surface with an open position for holding the side display in the forward tilted state and a closed position for covering the front of the display surface of the central display. It is possible to easily see the display surfaces of the central display and the side display from the front at the open position of the pair of plate-shaped members, and at the closed position of the pair of plate-shaped members. The display surfaces of the central display and the side display are configured to be invisible or difficult to see from the front, and further, the open position of the plate-shaped member makes it invisible or difficult to see from the front, and the plate. A production device that is easily visible from the front at the closed position of the shaped member is provided, and a game event that requires notification to the player can be notified via the central display and / or the side display. In addition, the game event notification control means that can be notified via the effect device is provided, and at the open position of the pair of plate-shaped members, the game event via the central display and / or the side display. It is proposed that the notification of the game event is visually recognized by the effect device at the closed position of the pair of plate-shaped members.

In such a configuration, by rotating the plate-shaped member to the closed position, it is possible to provide an effect different from the effect by the central display and the side display. Further, since the game event that requires notification is notified to the player in either the closed position or the open position, the game is not hindered regardless of the position of the plate-shaped member.

Further, in the present invention, the side display can be converted into an open position for holding the side display in the forward tilted state and a closed position for covering the front of the display surface of the central display. The sound emitting hole is easily visible from the front at the open position of the plate-shaped member, and the sound emitting hole is invisible or difficult to see from the front at the closed position of the plate-shaped member. A configuration including a speaker is proposed.

In such a configuration, in the open position of the plate-shaped member, the sound of the speaker is directly radiated to the player, and in the closed position of the plate-shaped member, the sound of the speaker is reflected by the surrounding members and then the player. Since it reaches the ears of the player, the player can enjoy two kinds of directed sounds with different sound quality depending on the open position and the closed position of the plate-shaped member.

Further, as another aspect of the present invention, it is composed of a flat panel display, a central display arranged so that the display surface is substantially facing the player, and a flat panel display, and at least one side of the central display. The side display is provided with a side display arranged in the same direction, and the side display has an angle at which the display surface of the side display and the display surface of the center display are parallel to each other in the same direction. Is set to 0 ° with respect to the display surface of the central display, and can be held in a forward tilted state in which the central display extends diagonally forward at a predetermined angle greater than 0 ° and less than 90 ° with respect to the display surface of the central display. A central display area is formed on the display surface of the central display, and the display surface of the side display is close to one side of the central display area in the forward tilted state. A side display area extending diagonally forward at the predetermined angle is formed from the above-mentioned position, and the central display and the display surface of the side display are each covered with a transparent panel, and the center is covered with a transparent panel. The surface of the transparent panel that covers the display surface of the display is curved to the front side so as to become thicker from the portion that covers the central portion of the central display region to the one side portion that is closer to the lateral display region. The surface of the transparent panel covering the display surface of the side display is inclined with respect to the display surface of the side display so that the portion closer to the one side of the central display area becomes thicker. A game machine characterized by doing so is also proposed.

Even in such a game machine, the angle formed by the surface of the transparent panel covering each display at the boundary between the display surface of the central display and the side display is smaller than the angle formed by the display surface of each display. Therefore, the transparent panel covering the display surface makes the bent portion of the display surface of the central display and the side display less conspicuous, and the integrity of the central display area and the side display area can be improved. Therefore, according to such a configuration, it is possible to realize a more realistic effect display than before by combining the flat panel displays.

The configurations of the three indicators 8a and 8b according to the main part of the present invention will be described below.
The three displays 8a and 8b arranged in the upper decoration unit 15 are flat panel displays including a liquid crystal display. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the central display 8a has a rectangular display surface 14a, and the display surface 14a is arranged so as to face the player substantially. Specifically, the central display 8a is arranged at the center of the slot machine 1 in the width direction, and the flat display surface 14a is fixed to the upper decorative frame 42 in a posture orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the slot machine 1. On the other hand, the side display 8b has a rectangular display surface 14a having an area of about 70% of that of the central display 8a, and is symmetrically arranged left and right with the central display 8a as the center. As shown in FIG. 9, in the open state of the upper decorative unit 15, each side display 8b obliquely forwards each display surface 14b with respect to the display surface 14a of the central display 8a at a predetermined angle α. It is held in the extended state. Such an angle α is determined in the design stage of the slot machine 1 from a range of more than 0 ° and less than 90 °, and is usually selected from a range of 45 ° to 75 °. As shown in FIG. 10, the central display 8a is arranged so that the short side of the display surface 14a is along the vertical direction, whereas the side display 8b is arranged so that the long side is along the vertical direction. On the left and right sides of the central display 8a, the short side of the display surface 14a of the central display 8a and the long side of the display surface 14b of the side display 8b are close to each other in parallel.

As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the display surface 14a of the central display 8a is covered with the transparent panel 10a. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), the transparent panel is formed on the display surface 14a of the central display 8a by covering the outer peripheral portion of the display surface 14a with the frame portion 43 arranged on the front side of the transparent panel 10a. A central display area 16a that is visible through 10a is formed. Further, the central display area 16a is formed in the shape of the opening 46 of the frame portion 43, and has the linear left and right side edges 55a along the vertical direction and the upper and lower sides curved in an arc shape in which the central portion is recessed inward. The long side of the horizontally long rectangle, which is composed of the side edges 55b and 55c of the above, is curved inward in an arc shape.

As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), the display surface 14b of the side display 8b is covered with the transparent panel 10b. Then, as shown in FIG. 13C, the front cover 51 arranged on the front side of the transparent panel 10b covers the outer peripheral portion of the display surface 14b so that the display surface 14b of the side display 8b is covered. A side display area 16b that is visible through the transparent panel 10b is formed. The side display area 16b is formed in the shape of the opening 53 of the front cover 51, and has a base end side side edge 56a having substantially the same length as the left and right side edges 55a of the center display area 16a. It has a substantially trapezoidal shape consisting of a side edge 56b on the tip side that is parallel to the side edge 56a and wider than the side edge 56a, and upper and lower side edges 56c and 56d that are inclined so that the vertical width becomes narrower toward the tip side. There is. Each side display area 16b is formed so that the side edge 56a on the base end side is brought close to the left and right side edges 55a of the center display area 16a in parallel, and as shown in FIG. The display area 16b is formed by an angle (α) formed by the two display surfaces 14a and 14b with respect to the central display area 16a from a position close to the left and right sides of the central display area 16a in the open state of the upper decoration unit 15. Extend diagonally forward. At this time, since the side display area 16b has a substantially trapezoidal shape with a wide tip side, the player can be perceived as if the side display area 16b extends forward from the actual state.

In this embodiment, when the central portion of the central display area 16a is viewed from the average viewpoint of the player (hereinafter referred to as “average player viewpoint”) in the open state of the upper decoration unit 15, FIG. 14 shows. As shown, the left and right side edges 55a of the central display area 16a and the side edges 56a on the base end side of the side display area 16b are adjacent to each other in parallel with substantially the same length, and the center display area 16a and the side display are displayed side by side. The region 16b is visually recognized so as to be continuous to the left and right. As shown in FIG. 15, the "average player viewpoint" is statistically determined from the eye positions of many players who play the slot machine 1 installed at the height (H1) of a general game island. It is calculated by the above, and is defined by the height (H2) from the bottom surface of the slot machine 1 to the viewpoint and the horizontal distance D from the center of the display surface 14a of the central display 8a to the viewpoint. The "average player viewpoint" varies depending on the dimensions of the machine, but normally, the height (H2) from the bottom surface of the slot machine 1 to the viewpoint is about 50 to 90 cm, and the display surface of the central display 8a. The horizontal distance D from the central portion of 14a to the viewpoint is about 30 to 50 cm.

In such a configuration, the central display area 16a has a shape that is narrower toward the center and wider toward the left and right sides where the side display areas 16b are close to each other, so that the display surface 14a is flat. Instead, both sides of the central display area 16a are visually recognized as if they extend diagonally forward. As described above, in the present embodiment, both sides of the central display area 16a are perceived to extend diagonally forward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, the lateral display actually extends diagonally forward. At the boundary between the region 16b and the central display region 16a that does not extend diagonally forward, the bending of the display surfaces 14a and 14b forming the respective display regions 16a and 16b becomes inconspicuous. Therefore, according to such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the sense of unity between the central display area 16a and the side display area 16b.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 14, in the present embodiment, when the central portion of the central display region 16a is viewed from the average player's viewpoint, the upper edge 55b of the central display region 16a curved in an arc shape and the upper edge 55b of the central display region 16a are produced diagonally forward. The upper edge 56c of each side display area 16b is visually recognized so as to be smoothly continuous without refraction, and similarly, the lower edge 55c of the center display area 16a and the lower edge of the side display area 16b. It is visually recognized that 56d and 56d are smoothly continuous without refraction. According to this configuration, the central display area 16a and the side display area 16b can be perceived by the player as if they are displayed on a continuous curved display surface, so that the two display areas 16a and 16b can be perceived. There is an advantage that the boundary part becomes more inconspicuous.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 16, the transparent panel 10a covering the display surface 14a of the central display 8a is flat on the back surface side, but the surface of the portion covering the central display area 16a has an arc shape in a plan view. The concave surface 60 is curved so that the portion covering the central portion of the central display region 16a is thinner and the portion covering both side portions is thicker. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 16, the transparent panel 10b covering the display surface 14b of the side display 8b is flat on the back surface side, but the surface of the portion covering the side display area 16b is flat. Visually, the inclined surface 61 is inclined with respect to the display surface 14b, and is thicker toward the base end side and thinner toward the tip end side.
