Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a display control device for a game machine with an electrically variable display, and more specifically, an electrically variable display that can electrically display different types of display information. An electrically variable display device in which the display device is arranged in a visible position and a predetermined value is given based on the fact that the displayed information becomes a predetermined specific type when the display of the electrically variable display device stops. The present invention relates to a display control device for a gaming machine.

[Prior Art] Among display control devices for gaming machines with electrically variable displays of this type, the one described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 54-68344, for example, is one that has been generally known. Ta. This conventional display control device for a game machine with an electrically variable display has a probability that the displayed information when the electrically variable display is stopped will be of a specific type predetermined so that a predetermined value can be assigned. It was configured so that it could be controlled to a desired value on the gaming parlor side. That is, in this prior art, the electrically variable display sequentially variably displays display information based on the pulses oscillated from the pulse generating circuit, and on the gaming hall side, the pulses oscillated from the pulse generating circuit Among them, the width of the pulse for displaying the specific type of display information can be changed and adjusted, and by increasing the pulse width, the probability of appearance of the specific type of display information is increased. By reducing the pulse width, the probability of appearance of the specific type of display information can be adjusted to be small.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this kind of conventional display control device for a game machine with an electrically variable display, the pulse width is changed and adjusted in accordance with the control of the appearance probability, and the change and adjustment are not performed. The electrically variable display variably displays in accordance with the pulses set, and since the appearance probability of the specific type is controlled from the variable display stage, the result of the change adjustment of the appearance probability is reflected in the electrically variable display. It appears in a variable display state. Specifically, for example, if the probability of displaying the specific type of display information is adjusted to be lower, the specific type of display information during the variable display of the electrically variable display can be adjusted accordingly. will be displayed for a shorter time.

In short, in a conventional display control device for a gaming machine with an electrically variable display, the probability of appearance of the predetermined specific type of display information when the display of the electrically variable display is stopped is set to a predetermined value desired by the gaming hall. If the electrically variable display is controlled to have a variable display state, the influence of the control result of the appearance probability will appear in the variable display state, so that the control result of the appearance probability will be transmitted to the player's side through the variable display state. This may lead to inconveniences such as the players becoming distrustful of the players, or the players concentrating only on controlled gaming machines where the probability of the specific type of display information appearing is high. occurs.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has been developed so that the probability of occurrence of a specific type of information being displayed when the display of an electrically variable display is stopped can be controlled to a predetermined value so as to be able to give a predetermined value. An object of the present invention is to provide a display control device for a gaming machine with an electrically variable display in which the variable display state of the electrically variable display is not affected by the magnitude of the appearance probability.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an arrangement in which an electrically variable display capable of displaying multiple types of identification information is arranged in a visible position, and the identification information when the electrically variable display stops displaying. In a display control device for a gaming machine with an electrically variable display that gives a predetermined value based on a predetermined specific type, a signal is generated to instruct the variable display state of the electrically variable display to stop. stop command signal generating means for generating a variable display control signal for causing the electrically variable display to display identification information for the variable display while the electrically variable display is displaying variable display; stop display control signal generating means for generating a stop display control signal for displaying identification information arbitrarily selected from a plurality of pieces of identification information to be displayed when the electrically variable indicator stops; Probability control means for controlling the probability that the stop display control signal generated from the display control signal generation means becomes a signal for displaying the specific identification information to a predetermined value; and variable display control of the variable display control signal generation means. A signal is applied to the electrically variable display to display the variable display, and based on a stop command signal from the stop command signal generating means, the variable display of the electrically variable display is controlled to stop, and the display at the time of stop is performed. The present invention is characterized in that it includes variable display control means for applying a stop display control signal from the control signal generating means to the electrically variable display to cause the electrically variable display to stop display.

[Operation] According to the present invention, the electrically variable display displays during variable display based on the variable display control signal issued from the variable display control signal generating means. Further, the stop display control signal generating means causes the electrically variable display to display an arbitrarily selected type of identification information from among the plurality of types of identification information displayed on the electrically variable display. A stop display control signal is issued for this purpose. When a stop command signal is issued from the stop command signal generating means, the variable display of the electrically variable display is controlled to stop based on the stop command signal, and the stop display control signal generating means is stopped. A time display control signal is applied to the electrically variable display, and predetermined types of identification information are stopped and displayed based on the stop time display control signal. Furthermore, the probability that the stop display control signal issued from the stop display control signal generating means becomes a signal for displaying the specific identification information is:
It is controlled to a predetermined value by the function of the probability control means.

In other words, two types of control signals, a variable display control signal for controlling the display during variable display, and a stop display control signal for controlling the display when the display is stopped, are separately generated in the electrically variable display. In order to control the appearance probability of the specific identification information being stopped and displayed by controlling the signal generation state of only the display control signal at the time of stop, the probability of appearance of the specific identification information at the time of stop is set to a predetermined value. Even though it can be controlled, the control of the appearance probability does not have any influence on the display state during variable display.

[Embodiments of the Invention] Specific embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, a pachinko game machine (hereinafter referred to as pachinko machine) will be described as an example of a game machine equipped with an electrically variable display.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a pachinko machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the configuration, on the game board 1 of the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, there are a winning hole or a first winning ball device 2, an example of a second winning ball device 3a to 3e, and a safe hole 4.
a and 4b, and an out ball inlet 5 are formed. The winning ball device 2 is configured with openable and closable wing pieces that can be opened and closed on both the left and right sides, and a safe hole in which a pachinko ball can be won is formed in the upper part of the wing piece. The winning balls that have entered the winning ball device 2 are detected by a winning ball detection switch (22 shown in FIG. 2), which will be described later.
It is used to issue a variable display start command to the segment display 21, which is an example of an electrically variable display to be described later.
The conditions for instructing the segment display 21 to display a variable display are as follows: Instead of or in conjunction with the winning balls entering the winning ball device 2, the ball passing areas 6a to 6c provided in the lower part of the game board 1 It may be a passing ball.

A display window is formed approximately in the center of the first winning ball device 2. A segment display 21 is arranged in this display window. This segment display 21
is a numeric display with multiple segments formed in the shape of a Japanese character, such as a segment LED.
and a liquid crystal display device. The types of display information that can be displayed on the segment display 21 are numbers 0, 1 to 9 if a numeric display is used, but it goes without saying that alphabets and other various identification symbols may also be used.

In addition, as another example of an electrically variable display, for example, a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged in a circle,
An identification symbol may be drawn at each position of each light emitting diode, or a cover may be formed on the front surface of the light emitting diode with an identification symbol drawn thereon. It goes without saying that various other electrically variable indicators may also be used.

Further, below the front frame 11 of the pachinko machine 10, there are a prize ball dispensing port 12, a batted ball waiting gutter 13, a batting handle 14 for adjusting the batting strength, a prize ball tray 15, and a surplus prize ball dispensing port 16. provided. Further, a stop command switch 17, which is an example of a stop command means, is provided in a part of the front frame. In addition,
As a stop command means, instead of the stop command switch 17 which generates a stop command signal by the player's operation as shown in the figure, a stop command switch 17 which generates a stop command signal after a certain period of time from the start of the variable display on the segment display device is used. It may also be a timer.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a display control device 20 for explaining the probability control means of the present invention. In the configuration, the display control device 20 of this embodiment includes a winning ball detection switch 22, which is an example of a start command means for instructing to start variable display on the segment display 21, and a winning ball detection switch 22, which is an example of a start command means for instructing the segment display 21 to start variable display. A display control means 23 for sequentially displaying variably, a stop command switch 17 which is an example of a stop command means, and a signal for giving a predetermined value with a preset probability according to the output of the stop command switch 17. It includes probability control means 24 and a predetermined value assigning circuit 25 that assigns a predetermined value based on a predetermined value assigning state.

FIG. 3 is a time chart for explaining the operation of FIG. 2, and particularly shows the output pulse P1 of the pulse oscillator 23a and the output pulse P2 of the variable pitch oscillator 24a.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. A player plays a ball hitting game by putting pachinko balls borrowed from a ball rental machine into the ball waiting gutter 13 and adjusting the hitting strength by rotating the ball hitting handle 14. In response to this, the ball hitting motor (not shown) is rotated to drive the ball hitting rod (not shown).
is rotated intermittently to drive one pachinko ball into the game board 1 one after another. At this time, the hit ball is the winning ball device 2
Or Yakumono 3a to 3e or Safe Hole 4
When a prize is won in either a or 4b, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out for each winning ball in the same manner as in conventional pachinko machines.

Incidentally, the segment display 21 normally continuously displays the number when the variable display was stopped last time. When the hit ball enters the winning ball device 2, the winning ball enters the winning ball detection switch 2.
Detected at 2. The output (high level) of the winning ball detection switch 22 causes a flip-flop 23b included in the display control means 23 to be set. The set output Q of the flip-flop 23b is applied as an activation signal to the pulse oscillator 23a, and is also applied to the AND gate 24d via the inverter 24b included in the probability control means 24, thereby disabling the AND gate 24d. Pulse oscillator 23a
generates a pulse p1 at regular intervals in response to an activation signal. The output pulse p of this pulse oscillator 23a
The period 1 is selected to be a period (for example, 0.1 seconds) that allows the player to understand that the sequential display on the segment display 21 is changing. This pulse p1
has a constant period (0.1 seconds) and a constant pulse width. The output pulse p1 of the pulse oscillator 23a is given to the decimal counter 23c. Ten
The advance counter 23c increments its count value by 1 each time the pulse p1 is input, sequentially counts the numerical values from 0 to 9, and resets the count value every time it counts 10. . That is, the decimal counter 23c functions as a ring counter that sequentially counts numerical values 0 to 9. This decimal counter 23
c includes output terminals corresponding to count values 0 to 9,
A high level signal is derived from the output terminal corresponding to the count.

By the way, the display information or display state of the segment display 21 that is determined to give a predetermined value is determined to be when the number 7 is displayed, for example. In this case, the output terminals of the count values 0 to 6 of the decimal counter 23c are connected to the AND gates 230 to 236.
The output terminals of count values 8 and 9 are provided as one input of AND gates 238 and 239. Each AND gate 230 to 236,
The other input of each of 238 and 239 has
The output of inverter 23d is given. At this time, if the flip-flop 23b is set, the output of the latch circuit 24e is at a low level. This low level signal is inverted to high level by the inverter 23d, and the AND gates 230 to 23
6,238,239. Therefore,
Each AND gate 230 to 236, 238, 239
When a high level is applied from the output terminal corresponding to the count value of the decimal counter 23c, a high level signal is derived and applied to the decoder 23e. Therefore, the decoder 23e decodes the count value of the decimal counter 23c and sends the output to the driver 23f.
give to The driver 23f drives the segment display 21 to display based on the output of the decoder 23e. As a result, after the winning ball detection output is received on the segment display 21, the count value 23c becomes 0.
~ 6, 8, 9 as the number 0 progresses sequentially
~Display 6, 8, 9. Here, the reason why the number 7 is not driven to be displayed on the segment display 21 is because the signal instructing the display of the number 7 is not given from the latch circuit 24e to the decoder 23e.

As described above, when the segment display 21 is sequentially and variably displayed in synchronization with the period of the output pulse of the pulse oscillator 23a, the player can select the display state (number 7) determined to give a predetermined value.
The stop command switch 17 is set so that the display state of
operate. Now, assuming that the stop command switch 17 is operated, the flip-flop 23b is reset in response to the operation of the stop command switch 17. Therefore, the set output Q becomes low level. In response to this, the pulse oscillator 23a stops its oscillation operation. At the same time, inverter 24
b inverts the low level to high level, and applies the high level signal as one input to the AND gate 24d, and also applies a latch command signal to the latch circuit 24e. This AND gate 24d has
The output pulse of the variable pitch oscillator 24a is provided as the other input.

The variable pitch oscillator 24a includes a variable resistor 2
The pulse generation period α is changed by adjusting 4c. For example, variable pitch oscillator 24
By selecting the pulse width of one of the output pulses p2 of a to be the same as the period of the output pulse p1 of the pulse oscillator 23a and varying the period α, the probability that the number 7 is displayed can be varied. For example, set the period α to a time corresponding to the pulse width of pulse p2 (for example, 0.1
seconds), the probability that the number 7 will be displayed on the segment display 21 can be set to 1/2. Also,
By selecting the period α to be twice the time corresponding to the pulse width of the pulse p2, the probability that the number 7 will be displayed can be set to 1/3. Similarly, by adjusting the variable resistor 24c to vary the period α,
The probability that the number 7, which is determined to give a predetermined value, is displayed can be varied.

The latch circuit 24e reads and stores the output state (high level or low level) derived from the AND gate 24d at the timing when the inverter 24b becomes high level and derives the latch command signal. Therefore, at the timing when the AND gate 24d derives the low level, the stop command switch 17
When the flip-flop 23b is reset in response to the operation, the latch circuit 24e reads and stores the low level signal. At this time, decoder 2
3e, since the signal stored and held in the latch circuit 24e is at a low level, a decode output for displaying the number 7 is not derived. Therefore,
In this case, the previous number on the segment display 21 remains displayed.

On the other hand, the output pulse p of the variable pitch oscillator 24a
When the stop command switch 17 is pressed at the high level timing of step 2, the AND gate 24
d derives a high level signal. At this time, the latch circuit 24e outputs the AND gate 2 at the timing when the output of the inverter 24b becomes a high level.
The output state of 4d (ie, high level signal) is read and stored. The high level signal stored in the latch circuit 24e is applied to the decoder 23e as a signal for commanding the display of the number 7 to which a predetermined value is to be assigned. For this reason, decoder 2
3e provides the decoded output of the number 7 to the driver 23f. In response, the driver 23f causes the segment display 21 to display the number 7.

Further, the output of the decoder 23e is given as a comparison input to a comparison circuit 25a included in the value adding circuit 25. The comparison circuit 25a is given a set value of the number 7, which is set by the setter 25b and is to be given a predetermined value, as a reference input. Further, the reset output of the flip-flop 23b is given to the monostable multi-channel 25c. Accordingly, the monostable multi 25c activates the stop command switch 17.
A high level signal is derived for a certain period of time after the press of , and is given to the comparison circuit 25a as a comparison command signal. Therefore, when the comparison command signal is given, the comparison circuit 25a compares the output of the decoder 23e and the reference signal from the setting device 25b, and if they match, derives a matching output and outputs the matching output to the Yakumono drive circuit. Give to 25d. In response to this, the Yakumono drive circuit 25d electrically energizes a solenoid provided in connection with the Yakumono that is predetermined to open according to a predetermined display state among the Yakumono 3a to 3e, and Control the development of Yakumono. As a result, when the display state of the segment display 21 becomes a display state determined to give a predetermined value, a predetermined number of Yakumono are controlled to be released as an example of the predetermined value. For this reason, the winning probability of the hit ball becomes high, and the player can easily win the prize ball.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the resistance value of the variable resistor 24c is adjusted and the variable pitch oscillator 2
By varying the period α of the output pulse 4a, there is an advantage that the probability that the segment display 21 displays display information determined to give a predetermined value can be freely adjusted. Also, variable resistor 2
By simply adjusting the resistance value of 4c, the probability of giving a predetermined value can be changed, so as a result, it is possible to adjust the number of prize balls to be paid out, and the game board 1
This has the advantage of being able to change the ball output rate of the pachinko machine without adjusting the nails installed in the machine.

By the way, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, in order to adjust the probability that the segment display 21 will be in a display state determined to give a predetermined value, the period α is varied using the variable pitch oscillator 24a. Although the case has been described, the technical idea of the present invention can also be achieved by various other embodiments.

FIG. 4 shows a display control device 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. In this embodiment, 33 is used in place of the display control circuit 23 in FIG. 2, and 34 is used in place of the probability control means 24. The rest of the configuration (value adding circuit 25) is the same as that in FIG. 2, and will therefore be omitted.

FIG. 5 is a time chart for explaining the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the specific configuration and operation of FIG. 4 will be described.

If the condition is not such that the segment display 21 can be variably displayed, the flip-flop 33b included in the display control circuit 33 remains reset. Therefore, the data selector 33d selects the counter 34b. This counter 34b increments its count value by 1 every time a pulse output from the pulse oscillator 34a is applied, and cyclically counts from 0 to 9. The output pulse of the pulse oscillator 34a is selected to be lower than the oscillation frequency of the pulse oscillator 33a. Therefore, before the hit ball enters the winning ball device 2, the data selector 33d
gives the count value of the counter 34b to the driver 33e and displays it on the segment display 21. That is, the segment display 21 is connected to the pulse oscillator 34.
0 to 9 are displayed sequentially and periodically at a relatively slow speed synchronized with the oscillation frequency of a. At this time, since the set output Q (low level) of the flip-flop 33b is input to the monostable multi-channel 34d, it remains disabled. Therefore, even if the counter 34b counts the number 7,
Do not work. That is, the display time of the number 7 becomes equal to the display time of the other numbers.

On the other hand, when a hit ball enters the winning ball device 2, the winning ball detection switch 22 detects this and sets the flip-flop 33b. Accordingly,
The data selector 33d selects the count value of the counter 33c and provides it to the decoder 33e. counter 3
3c increments the count value each time an output pulse from the pulse oscillator 33a is given, and repeats the count from 0 to 9. At this time, the pulse oscillator 3
Since the oscillation frequency of pulse oscillator 3a is selected to be considerably higher than the oscillation frequency of pulse oscillator 34a, the step speed of counter 33c becomes faster. Therefore, the segment display 21 displays numbers 0 to
9 are displayed sequentially and periodically at a speed synchronized with the oscillation frequency of the pulse oscillator 33a. At this time, the set output Q is given to the monostable multi 34d as an activation signal. Therefore, the monostable multi 34d sets the output level to high level by the signal inputted when the decoder 34c detects the count value 7 of the counter 34b, and the variable resistor 3
The output is inverted after a delay of a certain time T1 determined by the time constants of the resistor 4g, the resistor 34f, and the capacitor 34e. The counting operation of the counter 34b is prohibited during the signal output period of the monostable multi 34d for a certain period of time T1. Then, when the counting operation prohibition signal of the monostable multi 34d disappears, the counter 34b increments the count value again every time there is an input pulse. However, the counter 34b increments the count value to 8 when the next pulse input is given after the output of the monostable multi 34d disappears. In this way, after the winning ball is detected, the counter 3
The time it takes for 4b to count the number 7 is monostable multi 34
It changes depending on the counting operation prohibition signal period of d. At this time, the counting operation prohibition command signal of the monostable multi 34d can be freely varied by adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor 34g. When the player presses the stop command switch 17, the flip-flop 33b is reset by the press signal. At the same time, a reset output from flip-flop 33b is applied to counter 34b, instructing it to hold the counted value. Therefore, the count value of the counter 34b at this time is selected by the data selector 33d and provided to the driver 33e. Therefore, the segment display 21 has a counter 34.
A number based on the counted value held in b is displayed. At the same time, the monostable multi 34d is disabled.

In this way, when a stop command is issued, the counter 34b retains the count value at that time.
The probability that the counted value of the counter 34b will be a value determined to give a predetermined value (for example, the number 7) is that the counting operation prohibition signal from the monostable multi 34d is generated for one cycle period of the counted value of the counter 34b. Since it is determined by the ratio of the given periods, the probability can be changed freely only by adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor 34g.

The operation of stopping the display state of the segment display 21 and then assigning a predetermined value based on the display state is similar to the operation shown in FIG. 2. For that purpose, the output of the data selector 33d is applied to the comparison circuit 25a and the flip-flop 23
The reset output of b is given to the monostable multi 25c. The operation of the value assigning circuit 25 in this case is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, so a description thereof will be omitted.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the case of a pachinko machine was explained as an example of a gaming machine, but the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, but can be applied to coin gaming machines, slot machines using electrically variable displays, etc. can also be applied.

The entered prize detection switch 22 constitutes a stop command signal generating means for generating a signal for commanding to stop the variable display state of the electrically variable display. The pulse oscillator 33a and the counter 33
c and the data selector 33d constitute variable display control signal generating means for generating a variable display control signal for displaying identification information for variable display while the electrically variable display is in variable display. The pulse oscillator 34a and the counter 34
b and data selector 33d, a stop display control signal for displaying identification information arbitrarily selected from a plurality of pieces of identification information displayed on the electrically variable display when the electrically variable display stops. A stop display control signal generating means is configured to generate a stop display control signal. Furthermore, the probability control means 34
sets the probability that the stop time display control signal generated from the stop time display control signal generating means becomes a signal for displaying specific identification information predetermined to give a predetermined value to a predetermined value. It has the function of controlling. Furthermore, the probability control means 34
The display control circuit 33 applies the variable display control signal of the variable display control signal generating means to the electrically variable display to display the variable display, and based on the stop command signal of the stop command signal generating means, Variable display control means is configured to stop and control the variable display of the electrically variable display and cause the electrically variable display to stop display the stop display control signal of the stop display control signal generating means. There is. Note that the probability control means may have a plurality of probabilities stored therein in advance, and select any one of the plurality of probabilities with a switch to set the probability. Further, the identification information displayed by the stop display control signal may be specified when the variable display is stopped, or may be specified when the variable display control signal is generated.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the probability of appearance of the identification information when the electrically variable display stops displaying becomes specific identification information determined to be able to provide a predetermined gaming value is determined by a predetermined value. Although the value can be controlled,
Since the control of the appearance probability does not have any influence on the display state during variable display, the control of the appearance probability of the specific identification information cannot be seen through by the player, and it may cause a sense of distrust to the player. Inconveniences such as players concentrating only on gaming machines with a high appearance probability can be prevented.
