However, it is not used as a device that causes a visual change in the motion of the pachinko ball. Also, a liquid crystal panel having the entire game board surface enables various kinds of operations on the screen, but the so-called feeling of each picture space is inevitable, and it is expensive, so that it is not feasible.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure in which a liquid crystal panel is dynamically linked with a pachinko ball that is driven into a play board surface to enable a variety of operations.

[0005]

The first means of the present invention is to arrange a liquid crystal panel on a game board surface, and to provide one to a plurality of ball insertion holes in the width direction along the upper edge of the liquid crystal panel, A plurality of ball exit holes are provided in the width direction along the lower edge of the liquid crystal panel, and a ball detection sensor is provided for each ball entry hole, and each ball entry hole communicates with a ball ejection path. A ball discharging device that communicates with the supply path and discharges one ball supplied from the ball supply path from the required ball exit hole to the game board surface is provided, and at the same time from the predetermined ball entry hole to any ball exit hole on the liquid crystal panel. An image memory that stores a moving image group that includes at least a passing image that depicts the movement of a floating figure such as a ball figure, and an image from the image-specified random number that accompanies the detection operation of the ball detection sensor in the ball entry hole that contains the ball. By the lottery of the specified value, the ball entry hole stored in the image memory is used as a starting point for playing. From the moving image group that draws the movement of the figure, the image is read from the image memory from the image selecting means for designating one of the images and the image designating value selected by the image selecting means, and is displayed on the liquid crystal panel. When the image output means and the passing image are selected, the ball ejecting device is driven to open substantially in synchronization with the arrival of the floating figure displayed on the liquid crystal panel to the ball ejection hole, and the ball is ejected from the ball ejection hole. It is characterized by comprising a ball ejection control means for ejecting one piece.

Here, the image designating random number of the image selecting means is
A hit drive control means for executing a predetermined hit operation on the pachinko machine board surface by including a hit specified value for generating a predetermined operation that is profitable to the player and selecting the hit specified value by the image selection means. Can be provided.

Further, the moving image group stored in the image memory may include a disappearing moving image in which the ball disappears without reaching from the ball entrance hole at the inflow position to the ball exit hole.

Furthermore, the ball supply path for supplying the balls to the ball exit hole may be connected to the ball supply path and not directly connected to the ball discharge path communicating with the ball entrance hole. The ball supply path communicating with the ball supply path may be connected to a ball discharge path communicating with the ball entrance hole, and the ball discharge device may be configured to distribute the balls entered from the ball entrance hole to a required ball exit hole or an exclusion path. .

On the other hand, as a second means of the present invention, a ball detection sensor is provided for each ball entry hole, and a ball standby path is communicated with each ball exit hole, and a ball detection sensor is provided in the ball standby path. A ball discharging device is provided in the ball standby path below the ball detection sensor to temporarily wait for a ball, and a ball dropped from the ball entry hole row between the ball entry hole row and the ball standby path row. However, a ball disturbing area that disturbs and involuntarily enters one of the ball waiting paths is provided, and a floating figure such as a ball figure moves from a predetermined ball entry hole to a predetermined ball exit hole in the liquid crystal panel. The image memory in which a moving image group including at least a passing image is stored, and the ball detection hole of the ball detection sensor is turned on in accordance with the detection operation of the ball detection sensor. Moving image depicting the movement of the floating figure to the ball exit hole of the ball detection sensor Based on the image selection means to be designated and the image designation from the image selection means, the image is read from the image memory and displayed on the liquid crystal panel, and the passing image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel when the passing image is selected. A structure is also proposed in which a ball discharge control means for driving the ball discharging device to open and discharging a standby ball from the ball discharging hole is substantially synchronized with the arrival of the floating figure in the ball discharging hole. obtain.

[0010]

When a ball hit on the surface of the game board enters the ball entry hole, the ball passes through the ball discharge path and is detected by the ball detection sensor. Along with the detection of the balls, the image selecting means selects the image specifying value for specifying the moving image group from the specified random numbers. The image designation value selected by lottery is limited to one that designates any one of the moving image groups that describe the movement of a floating figure such as a ball figure with the ball entry hole as the starting point.

Then, the designated moving image read from the image memory by the image output means is displayed on the liquid crystal panel. At this time, if the moving image is a passing image depicting the movement of the floating figure from the ball entry hole to any one of the ball exit holes, the moving image communicates with the ball exit hole substantially in synchronization with the arrival of the ball movement image at the ball exit hole. The ball discharging device in the ball supply path is driven to open, and one ball is discharged from the ball exit hole.

Therefore, visually, when the hitting ball enters the ball entry hole, a floating figure such as a ball figure is displayed from the ball entry hole position on the liquid crystal panel, and the ball moves to one of the ball exit holes. With the transition, one actual ball comes out from the ball exit hole, and the illusion that the ball entered the ball entrance hole moves and comes out from the ball exit hole on the liquid crystal panel is felt. Moreover, since the movement of the floating figure displayed on the liquid crystal panel is due to the image processing, it is possible to perform the movement of the floating figure which is rich in change which cannot be realized by the normal mechanical operation.

If the image designation value group designated by the image selection means includes a hit image designation value that causes a player to perform a predetermined operation, the moving image is displayed on the liquid crystal by selecting the designation value. The display operation is performed on the panel and the hit operation is executed.

Further, the moving image group stored in the image memory can include a lost moving image. The disappearance movement image is displayed in such a manner that the floating figure that appears on the liquid crystal panel from the ball insertion hole disappears, for example, when it is held by a bird and carried to the side. In this case, no balls are ejected from the ball exit hole.

On the other hand, in the second means of the present invention, the moving image is extracted based on the balls that have moved to the ball exit hole. That is, the balls that have entered the ball entrance holes are additionally distributed to any of the ball exit holes according to the disturbance area, and a moving image corresponding to the ball exit holes is displayed on the liquid crystal panel.
The image is made to match the actual operation of the ball. Then, in the ball standby path communicating with the ball output hole, the ball temporarily held by the ball discharging device is discharged from the ball discharging hole to the game board surface side by the operation of the ball discharging device when the image processing is completed. ing.

The winning device is opened a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time corresponding to the ball projecting holes 13a to 13e. In this case, control may be performed according to the image designation value.

In the case of a specific image, a so-called big hit operation is performed. For example, when the disappeared image y is displayed, the combination winning device (so-called fever stand) having a conventional structure is used as a big hit to give a great benefit to the player. In this case, the image designating random number is set in the first means so that the probability that the lost image y will be randomly selected is low. For example, if the random number is 20
With about 0 frames, one of them is set as a hit image designated value, and when the designated value is drawn, an image of the disappeared image y is displayed and the hit drive control means causes a known big hit operation. Therefore, the image designation random number also serves as a random number.

The above-mentioned respective aspects 1 to 5 can be appropriately combined.

As described above, various benefits can be given to the player by using the panel device 10.

In the above structure, the ball insertion holes 12a-12
Although a plurality of e are provided, only one ball insertion hole may be provided.
