Reference numeral 7 temporarily stores the image data generated by the VDP 313. The image data generated by the VDP 313 and stored in the VRAM 317 is a character identification number in units of a set of a predetermined number of dots. The image data includes identification numbers of a plurality of characters in accordance with the displayed layout relationship. This is called map data. The identification number of each character is stored in advance in the control ROM 315. The identification number of the character required to form the screen displayed on the display unit 32 is read from the control ROM 315, and is stored in the VRAM 317 by the VDP 313 as map data for indicating the layout relationship of the following characters on the display screen. .

Next, the function of display control in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 shows the VDP31.
It is a block diagram which shows the structure of 3 functionally. VDP31
3 is a CPU interface (I / F) 321, various registers 322, a timing generator 323, a function controller 324, and a palette RAM 32.
5, including a screen selector 326.

The above-mentioned functional units are connected to each other via the internal bus 327, and the CPU 311 outside the VDP 313, the VRAM 317, and the character RO.
It is connected to M319.

The CPU 311 is the CPU interface 3
21 is connected to the internal bus 327 via the VDP 313.
Registers 322, palette RAM 325, and V
Access the RAM 317.

The registers 322 receive various command signals and data signals sent from the CPU 311.
The timing generator 323 outputs a pulse signal for synchronizing the processing of each functional unit. The function controller 324 controls the processing inside the VDP 313 based on the command signal and the data signal received by the registers 322. The VRAM 317 stores data of various screens displayed on the display unit 32 (see FIG. 2).
The image data stored in the VRAM 317 is a set of identification numbers of character data forming the display screen.

The character ROM 319 is the VRAM 31.
The dot information corresponding to the identification number of the character data stored in 7 is stored in advance. Palette RAM 325
Stores color data corresponding to the palette data included in the dot information. The screen selector 326 is
The color data signal output from the palette RAM 325 is associated with the screen described later. When displaying a screen on the display unit 32, the CPU 311 controls the control ROM 315.
A command signal and a data signal are set in the registers 322 based on the program data (see FIG. 8), and the identification number of the character data is written in the VRAM 317. The VDP 313 reads the identification number of the character data stored in the VRAM 317 under the control of the function controller 324, and reads the dot information corresponding to the read identification number from the character ROM 319.

The VDP 313 stores the color data corresponding to the palette data included in the dot information in the palette ROM.
It is read from 325 and output to the screen selector 326 as a color data signal. Screen selector 326
Associates the color data signal output with reference to the palette RAM 325 with the specified screen, forms screen data as necessary, and outputs it to the LCD driver 321 (see FIG. 8) as an RGB signal. LC
The driver 321 drives the LCD display unit 303 based on the sent RGB signals to display a predetermined screen on the display unit 32.

As described above, the VDP 313 is a device for generating image data to be displayed on the display section 32 at a predetermined timing. Although the display screen is configured in dot units, in the present embodiment, dots are grouped in certain block units, each block is assigned an identification number, and the blocks are managed. It is configured by combining types. Such a method is called a character method. By generating the display screen data by the character method, an image composed of many dots can be processed in a relatively short time, and the VRAM 317 for storing the display screen data can be formed by a memory having a relatively small capacity. Can be configured.

In this embodiment, one character as a block unit is 16 × 16 dots. Each dot data is composed of four planes to represent 16 kinds of palette data. Here, the palette data is data including a total of 12-bit color data in which data for three colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) is configured by 4 bits each. In this embodiment, the character ROM 319 is a memory of 8 bits per word. The amount of data per character is 16 (dots) × 16 (dots) × 4 (plane) = 1024 (bits) = 128 (bytes).

FIG. 10 shows the correspondence between the address of the character ROM 319 and the identification number of the character data. As shown in the figure, the character ROM 319 stores 128 bytes of dot data for each character in order from the start address. The stored order becomes the character identification number. Here, the identification number of the character data is referred to as "map data". The image data is formed by collecting a plurality of map data. The map data is combined and stored in the VRAM 317 according to the type of display screen. Here, VRAM3
Storing map data in a predetermined storage area 17 is called “mapping”.

The map data stored in the VRAM 317 is sent from the CPU 311 via the VDP 313.
In this case, the CPU 311 sets the write address of the VRAM 317 and the map data in a predetermined register included in the registers 323, and writes the map data in the designated address.

FIG. 11 schematically shows the storage state of the VRAM 317. In the figure, the number in each cell is VR
It is the address of AM317, and the numerical value in () is the dot coordinate at the upper left of the character data stored at that address.

Next, the structure of the display screen will be described.
FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the display screen, (a)
Is a plan view and (b) is a perspective view. The VDP 313 configures the data on the display screen 701 with three types of data: a first screen 703, a second screen 705, and a border screen 707. First and second screen 70
Reference numerals 3 and 705 are areas displayed by dot data on the display screen. In this embodiment, the size of one screen is 320 dots in the horizontal direction × 22 in the vertical direction.
It is set to 4 dots.

The border screen 707 is the display screen 70.
1 is a region in which the dot data is not displayed, and is a region serving as a background of the first and second screens 703 and 705. Although the dot data cannot be displayed on the border screen 707, the specified color can be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 12B, the display screen 7
The data of 01 is configured by setting the border screen 707 at the lowest level and superimposing the second screen 705 and the first screen 703 on it. In the figure, a screen viewed from the direction of the arrow is displayed on the display unit 32.
Which dot data of the first screen 703 and the second screen 705 is displayed with priority can be arbitrarily changed by changing the setting of the registers 322.

The color of the border screen 707 is displayed in the area where the dot data is not included in either the first screen 703 or the second screen 705. The display color of the border screen 707 can also be selected from a plurality of colors by setting the registers 322. In addition, the first screen 703 and the second screen
The pallet data is set independently for each of the screens 705. That is, up to 16 types of color data can be set for each screen.

As described above, in this embodiment, the data on the two screens can be displayed in an overlapping manner on the display screen. Note that, in FIG. 12, the first screen 703 is shown for ease of explanation.
Although the size of the second screen 705 and the size of the second screen 705 are shown to be smaller than the size of the display screen 701, in reality, the first and second screens 703 and 705 both correspond to the display screen 701 in almost one-to-one correspondence. . Therefore, in the actual pachinko gaming machine, when the dot data is set on any screen, the border screen 70
The area in which the color 7 is displayed is a very small range in the peripheral portion of the display screen 701.

Two screens 70 of the display screen 701
Two systems are provided for the storage area of the VRAM 317 corresponding to each of No. 3 and 705. However, VRAM317
Rather than having two storage areas physically located inside, the same device can be used by switching to one of two systems as necessary by the time share switching process using a fixed address. I am trying. The size of the storage area of one system is 102 in the horizontal direction.
4 dots × 1024 dots in the vertical direction. As described above, since one screen has 320 dots in the horizontal direction × 224 dots in the vertical direction, one system of storage area is
It will have a capacity of 12 screens.

Next, the scroll function of the VDP 313 will be described. FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram showing the contents of the scroll function. The first screen 703 and the storage area 721 of the first system will be described as an example. As described above, the storage area of one system in the VRAM 317 has a capacity of 12 screens. As shown in the figure, by changing the position of the screen 703 on the storage area 721, the range of reading the screen data stored in the storage area 721 can be changed, and the position of the screen 703 on the display unit 32 can be changed. It is possible to perform variable display of the image corresponding to the change of. This is called a scroll function. This scroll function can be controlled by changing the value set in the register for specifying the coordinates of the screen contained in the registers 322.

The left end A in the storage area 721
Is logically connected to the right end portion A'and the upper end portion B to the lower end portion B'as shown. Therefore, when the screen 703 is set at the position indicated by the chain double-dashed line, among the areas included in the screen 703, the areas 725a, 726a, which extend outside the storage area 721,
For 727a, areas 725b, 726b, 727
The map data of b is displayed.

As a result, when the scroll screen is moved in the storage area 721, it is as if the storage area 7
21 can be displayed as if they are infinitely connected. The first screen 703 and the second screen 705 are respectively the storage areas 721 of the first system.
Then, it is possible to scroll individually on the storage area (not shown) of the second system.

Next, the window function of the VDP 313 will be described. FIG. 14 is a conceptual diagram showing the contents of the window function. With the window function, a rectangular area (window area) 731a is set in the first screen 703 set in the storage area 721, and the map data of the window area 731a is different from the storage area 721. This is a function of displaying the map data of the window area 731b set at the location. In this embodiment, four window areas can be set in the first screen 703.

The above four windows can be displayed in an overlapping manner. FIG. 14B shows a schematic view of a state in which windows are overlapped. In the figure, four WAs set on the first screen 703,
WB, WC, WD windows 741a, 743a, 74
For 5a and 747a, map data of OA, OB, OC, and OD offset areas 741b, 743b, 745b, and 747b set at different locations on the storage area 721 are displayed. Further, the number of windows is not limited to four.

In this embodiment, the priority order of displaying windows is set in the order of WA>WB>WC> WD. This setting is fixed. Therefore, WA, WB, WC, W
D windows 741a, 743a, 745a, 747a
When all are set to the display mode, the image represented by the map data of the offset area 741b is displayed in the WA window area 741a, and the remaining area of the WB window area 743a is displayed by the map data of the offset area 743b. The image represented is displayed. Similarly, for the remaining area of the WC window area 745a, the image represented by the map data of the offset area 745b, the WD window area 7
For the remaining area of 47a, the offset area 747
The images represented by the map data of b are displayed respectively. The control of the window function is performed by setting the data of the starting point coordinates and the ending point coordinates indicating the position of the rectangle of the window area in the window register included in the registers 322.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing the types and contents of random counters used in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment. The random counter is a counter that counts random numbers used to control the variable display of the variable display device 24. In this embodiment, WCRND1 and WCR
ND_L, WCRND_C, WCRND_R, WCRN
Five types of random counters of D_ACT are used.
The values of these random counters are read at a predetermined timing during the pachinko game, and the variable display operation of the variable display device 24 is controlled based on the values. The reading process of the count value of the random counter is performed by the basic circuit 46 (see FIG. 6).
The CPU provided in the CPU executes the program according to the control program stored in the control ROM.

WCRND1 is a random counter for determining in advance whether or not a big hit should be generated as a result of variable display of symbols on the variable display device 24. The procedure for determining in advance whether or not to generate a big hit is shown in FIG. 16 described later. WCRND1 is in the range of 0 to 214,
Count up by 1 every 0.002 seconds. In addition,
The 0.002 second is an interval at which the control program is repeatedly executed in the basic circuit 46 in response to the regular reset signal output from the regular reset circuit 50.

WCRND_L, WCRND_C, WCR
ND_R is a result of variable display of the symbols on the variable display device 24, and when it is determined in advance that it is not a big hit,
It is a random counter for determining the types of symbols to be stopped and displayed in each of the left, center, and right symbol display areas. WCRND_L, WCRND_C, WCR
The count range of ND_R is 0 to 14. WCRN
D_L is incremented by 1 when carrying WCRND_C. WCRND_C is executed in the remaining time of the interrupt process and counts up by 1 at a predetermined timing. WCRND_R is incremented by one when carrying WCRND_L.

WCRND_ACT is a random counter for determining the number of reach operation designations for designating a predetermined reach operation from among a plurality of reach operations. “Reach” means that two hit symbols of the same type are stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas on the left side, the center, and the right side.
Furthermore, if one symbol of the same type is stopped and displayed, it means that a big hit occurs. There are six types of reach determined by this WCRND_ACT. Among these 6 types of reach, there are included procedures for the case of a final big hit combination. WCRND_ACT is 0 to 127
Within the range, the count is incremented by 1 at a predetermined timing in the remaining time of the interrupt processing. While there are 6 types of reach, the count range of WCRND_ACT is 0 to 127, so the occurrence probability can be changed according to the type of reach. That is, for example,
If the count range in which one reach is generated is set larger than the counter range in which another reach is generated, the probability of occurrence of that reach can be increased, and if it is set to be smaller, the occurrence probability can be decreased.

FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing a control for presetting whether or not a big hit will be generated based on the value of the random counter. With reference to the figure, it is determined in advance whether the result of variable display of the symbols on the variable display device 24 is a big hit or something other than a big hit, and further, it is stopped in each of the left, center, and right symbol display areas. A procedure for determining the type of symbol to be displayed will be described.

Whether or not to be a big hit is determined by determining the value of WCRND1. If the value of WCRND1 is "7", it is a big hit,
If it is other than "7", it is determined in advance that it is not a big hit. When it is determined to be a big hit, the value of WCRND_L is subsequently determined to determine the type of symbol for generating a big hit. On the other hand, if it is decided not to be a big hit, then WCR continues.
By determining the values of ND_L, WCRND_C, and WCRND_R, the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas on the left side, the center, and the right side (hereinafter referred to as "stop symbols")
The type of each is determined. Note that WCRND_L, WCRND_C, WCRND, except for the big hit
The combination array of symbols determined based on each value of _R,
If it happens to be a combination arrangement of symbols that will be a big hit, W
"1" is subtracted from the value of CRND_C, and it is forcibly adjusted and adjusted so as to be stopped and displayed in the combination arrangement of the symbols.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing a correspondence relationship between the stop symbols displayed in the symbol display areas on the left side, the center, and the right side and the values of the respective counters. Stop design is "0" ~
"9" 10 kinds of numerical design and "X", "F",
Includes five types of alphabetic symbols, "G", "P", and "R". WCRND_L, WCRND_C, WCRND
The value of _R "0" corresponds to the alphabet design "X". Similarly, the value “1” corresponds to the numerical symbol “0”,
The values “2” to “9” correspond to the numerical symbols “2” to “9”, the value “10” corresponds to the alphabet symbol “F”, and the value “11” corresponds to the numerical symbol “1”. , Value "12"
Corresponds to the alphabet symbol “G”, the value “13” corresponds to the alphabet symbol “P”, and the value “14” corresponds to the alphabet symbol “R”.

The above 15 types of stop symbols are variably displayed in the symbol display area of the display unit 32, and the result of the variability display is that a big hit occurs if the stop symbols on the left side, the center, and the right side are all of the same type. .

Next, control of variable display of symbols on the display unit 32 will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing types of varying states of symbols. There are 15 types of variation states A to J as the variation states of the symbols. In the fluctuation state A, the symbols are variably displayed at a constant speed. Specifically, one symbol changes in 16.7 ms. In the fluctuation state B, the speed is gradually reduced to finally stop the fluctuation. In this fluctuation state B, fluctuations of three symbols are performed. In the fluctuation state C, the symbol is gradually decelerated. In the fluctuation state C, fluctuations of three symbols are performed. In the fluctuation state D, the symbol is changed at a constant speed. Specifically, one symbol fluctuates during 333.3 ms, and one cycle is 5.00
It will be 0 seconds. In the changing state E, the symbol is gradually decelerated and finally the symbol is stopped. In the fluctuation state E, the fluctuation for one symbol is performed. In the fluctuation state F, the pattern is gradually decelerated and finally the symbol is stopped. In the variation state F, the variation for one symbol is performed. In the fluctuation state G, the symbol is gradually decelerated. In the fluctuation state G, the fluctuation for one symbol is performed. In the fluctuation state H, the symbol is finally accelerated and decelerated to finally stop the symbol. In the fluctuation state I, the deceleration is gradually reduced to finally stop the symbol. In the fluctuation state J, the acceleration / deceleration is gradually performed. In the fluctuation state J, a fluctuation of 4.875 symbols is performed. In the fluctuating state K, the rotation is reversed and the speed is gradually reduced to finally stop the symbol.

FIGS. 19 and 20 are timing charts showing the control procedure of variable display of symbols other than the reach or when the reach is released (hereinafter referred to as “off”). The data for time management of each timing chart shown below is stored in the time table of the ROM of the basic circuit 46. Referring to FIG. 19, starting port 5
When a hit ball wins (see FIG. 1), the winning ball is detected by the starting ball detector 6 (see FIG. 1). At the timing when the detection pulse rises, the basic circuit 46 (see FIG. 6)
Value of WCRND1 is extracted by the CPU of
Stored in.

Subsequently, the CPU stores the WCRN stored in the RAM at the falling edge of the detection pulse 0.002 seconds after the winning of the ball hitting the starting opening 5 is detected.
The value of D1 is read out, and based on the read value, whether or not the result of the variable display is a big hit is determined in advance. The process of previously determining whether or not to make a big hit is performed by the procedure shown in FIG. After reading the value of WCRND1 and performing the determination process, in this case, since the time is out, the CPU
CRND_L, WCRND_C, and WCRND_R
Extract each value of. Furthermore, the extracted WCRND_L,
When the reach is established by the values of WCRND_C and WCRND_R, the value of WCRND_ACT is extracted.

In normal time, the specific procedure for displaying the left, center, and right stop symbols in a variable manner is as follows. The basic circuit 46 is an LCD based on the determination result by the CPU.
A control command is sent to the circuit 48, and the LCD circuit 48 outputs a display control signal to the LCD display 35 based on this control command. As a result, in the display unit 32, the variable display of the symbols is started in the symbol display regions on the left side, the center, and the right side when 0.004 seconds have elapsed since the winning of the hitting ball at the starting opening 5 was detected.

In the symbol display area on the left side, the symbols are varied at a constant speed by the display control of the variation state A for 4.600 seconds after the variation is started. 4. When 600 seconds have elapsed, the symbol before 3 symbols in the symbol arrangement of the symbol (hereinafter, “scheduled symbol stop”) determined in advance by the value of WCRND_L is set to the stop position, and then the fluctuation state B display control is performed. The display control of the variation state B is performed for 1,250 seconds, during which three symbols are varied, and finally the planned stop symbol is stopped and displayed.

In the symbol display area on the right side, the symbols are varied at a constant speed by the display control of the variation state A for 5.850 seconds after the variation is started. When 5.850 seconds have elapsed, the symbol three symbols before in the symbol arrangement of the symbols determined in advance by the value of WCRND_R is set to the stop position, and then the display control of the variation state B is performed. The display control of the variation state B is performed for 1.250 seconds, during which three symbols are varied, and finally the planned stop symbol is stopped and displayed.

Next, the variation of the middle symbol in the central symbol display area will be described. The variation of the middle symbol makes the display control procedure different when the reach is not established (other than the reach) and when the reach is established. Further, when the reach is established, the variation of the symbols is displayed so as to be any one of the reach modes selected from the six types of reach modes of reach 1 to reach 6 according to a predetermined condition described later.

Referring to FIG. 20, in the case other than reach,
7.100 seconds after the fluctuation starts, the display control of the fluctuation state A causes the symbol to fluctuate at a constant speed. continue,
For 0.850 seconds, the symbols are changed by the display control of the changing state B and stopped. In the fluctuation state B, similarly to the left and right fluctuation displays, the symbol before the three symbols of the planned stop symbol is set at the stop position, and then the three symbols are varied, and finally the planned stop symbol. Is stopped.

Next, the variation of the middle symbol when the reach is established will be described. There are five types of reach modes, Reach 1 to Reach 5, as the reach operation at the time of detachment.
The selection of the reach mode will be described later with reference to FIG.

First, the reach 1 will be described. In the reach 1, the symbols are changed at a constant speed by the display control in the variation state A for 7.100 seconds after the symbols start to change. The above 7.100 seconds is the time when there is no spin, which will be described later, and the fluctuation time in parentheses is the time when there is spin. That is, when the spin is present, the display control of the variable state A is performed for 9.290 seconds. The same applies to each reach described below. After the display control according to the fluctuation state A is performed, the symbol before the four symbols of the reach symbol is set to the stop position. After that, display control of the variation state C is performed for 5.664 to 10.340 seconds, and variation of 17 to 31 symbols is performed. Next, the display control of the variation state E is performed for 1.184 seconds, the variation for one symbol is performed, and finally the scheduled stop symbol is stopped and displayed.

Next, reach 2 and 3 will be described. Although the reach 2 and 3 have different display states on the display unit 32, the display control timings are the same, so the display states are controlled at the same timing. As a result, the capacity of time management data (time table) in the basic circuit 46 can be reduced, a ROM having a smaller storage capacity can be used, and the cost can be reduced. In reach 2 and 3, 7.100 seconds (9.290 seconds) after the fluctuation of the symbol is started, the display control of the fluctuation state A is performed, and after that, the symbol 4 symbols before the reach symbol is set. Change state C for 0.420 seconds
Display control is performed, and fluctuations of three symbols are performed.
Next, the display control of the fluctuation state D is 14.675 to 15.3.
It is carried out for 40 seconds, and a variation of 44 to 46 symbols is carried out. Next, the display control of the variation state E is performed for 1.184 seconds, the variation for one symbol is performed, and finally, the previously determined stop symbol is stopped and displayed.

Next, the reach 4 will be described.

21 and 22 are timing charts showing a control procedure of variable display of symbols when a big hit is generated (hereinafter referred to as "at the time of big hit"). At the timing when a ball hits the starting opening 5 and the detection pulse thereof rises, the CPU of the basic circuit 46 causes the WCRND1
Value is extracted and stored in RAM.

Subsequently, the CPU reads the value of WCRND1 stored in the RAM 0.002 seconds after the start winning is detected, at the timing of the fall of the detection pulse, and judges this value to make a big hit. Decide in advance whether or not In the case of this timing chart, the value of WCRND1 is “7”, and it is determined in advance that a big hit will be made. When it is a big hit, the CPU continues to WCRND
The value of _L is extracted, and the value of WCRND_ACT is further extracted.

At the time of a big hit, the variation of the symbols is controlled in any one of the 6 types of reach modes of reach 1 to reach 6. At the time of a big hit, the reach mode is selected according to the value of WCRND_ACT. The selection of the reach mode will be described later.

The concrete procedure of the variable display of the symbols, which is carried out in each of the left, center and right symbol display areas at the time of a big hit, is as follows. The control procedure of the variable display of the right symbol and the left symbol is the same as the normal time, and after the same control procedure, the jackpot symbol previously determined by the value of WCRND_L is stopped and displayed.

Next, the variation of the middle symbols will be described. There are 6 kinds of reach modes that are a big hit, reach 1 to reach 6, and the variation of the symbols is controlled so as to be one of the reach modes selected according to a predetermined condition.

Next, the display control of the variation state G is performed for 0.384 seconds, and the variation for one symbol is performed. Next, the display control of the variation state H is 2.354 to 3.3.
It is performed for 90 seconds, and after 3 to 5 symbols are changed, the big hit symbol is finally stopped and displayed.

Next, the reach 6 will be described. In the reach 6, after the fluctuation of the symbol is started, the display control of the fluctuation state A is performed for 7.100 seconds (9.290 seconds), and then, at the time of e, the symbol before the 4 symbols of the reach symbol is displayed. After being set, the display control of the variation state C is performed for 0.420 seconds, and the variation of three symbols is performed. Next, display control of the variation state D is performed for 13.670 seconds, and variation of 41 symbols is performed. Next, the display control of the variation state G is performed for 0.384 seconds, and the variation for one symbol is performed. Next, the display control of the variation state J is performed for 2.306 seconds, and the variation of 4.875 symbols is performed. Next, the display control of the variation state K is performed for 1.234 seconds, and then 0.8
The 75 symbols are rotated in the reverse direction, and finally the big hit symbols are stopped and displayed.

FIG. 23A is a timing chart showing the time relationship between the end of the variable display of the symbols and the opening / closing / closing of the opening / closing plate 7 serving as the special winning opening. The variable display of the symbols is started on the display unit 32, the symbol on the left side is stopped, then the symbol on the right side is stopped, and finally the symbol in the center is stopped, and 1.000 seconds from the time when the variable display is finished. After the lapse of time, whether or not it is a big hit is determined by checking the hit flag that is set when the big hit occurs. If the combination of the stopped symbols is a big hit in which three symbols of the same type are gathered, the special winning opening is opened when 7.300 seconds have elapsed from the time of the above determination. The open state of the special winning opening ends when 30 seconds elapses or when 10 hitting balls are won in the special winning opening, whichever comes first. In addition, when the special winning opening is in the open state, and there is a V winning, when 2.000 seconds have elapsed after the open state of that time has ended,
Once again, the special winning opening is opened. As described above, the continuous operation effective time is set to 2.000 seconds in order to secure the time for relieving the hit ball just before the opening / closing plate 7 is closed.

FIG. 23B is a timing chart showing the time relationship between the opening / closing of the opening / closing plate 7 which is the special winning opening and the start of the variable display of the symbols on the display unit 32 at the next time. . At the time when the special game state for a certain number of times ends and the special winning opening that has been in the open state becomes the closed state, if there is a start memory, at the time when 11.002 seconds have elapsed, the start memory Based on, the process for performing the variable display of symbols for the next time is started. When the process starts
The CPU of basic circuit 46 reads and determines the value of WCRND1. These processes are the same as the processes performed in response to the fall of the detection pulse of the ball hitting the start opening 5 in the timing charts of FIGS. 19 and 21. Further, the control procedure of the variable display of symbols thereafter is as shown in FIGS. 19 to 22.

Next, referring to FIG. 26B, when the race further progresses and the first character image 62 and the fourth character image 65 collide with each other, the variable display of the middle symbol 68 is stopped, and the decision is made. The selected pattern is displayed. In the case of this display example, the left symbol 66, the right symbol 67, and the middle symbol 68 are all "7" symbols, which means that a big hit has occurred.

27 and 28 are screen configuration diagrams showing a display example when the symbol is stopped. However, the first character image 6 shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 26 is displayed on the road in each figure.
Although the state in which 2 is running is displayed, the display of the first character image 62 is omitted in each drawing for ease of explanation. In the demonstration screen shown below, the basic circuit 46 is LC
"20H" (hereinafter "H" is 1 is 1 as command data COM0 (main status) described later on the D display 35.
By sending command data (in hexadecimal notation), L
The CD display 35 displays the demonstration screen shown below.

First, with reference to FIG. 27A, the basic circuit 46 causes the LCD display 35 to display "20" as COM0.
After receiving the “H” command data, the screen shown in FIG. 20 (A) is displayed on the display unit 32 for 5 seconds. In addition, the background screen displayed on the display unit 32 is shown in FIGS.
Similarly, the first background image 60 and the second background image 61 are separated and the image processing described below is performed.

Next, after the screen shown in FIG. 27A is displayed for 5 seconds, the screen shown in FIG. 27B is displayed.
In FIG. 27B, the road shown in the second background image 61 is displayed in a state of turning to the left, and in response, the two buildings and the two mountains in the first background image 60 also move to the left. It is displayed in the opened state.

Next, after the screen shown in FIG. 27B is displayed for 5 seconds, the screen shown in FIG.
Is displayed for 5 seconds. In (C) of FIG. 27, the road shown in the second background image 61 is a straight road as in (A) of FIG. 27, and accordingly, the first background image 60 also moves to the central portion. It is displayed in the opened state.

Next, after the screen shown in FIG. 27C is displayed for 5 seconds, the screen shown in FIG. 28A is displayed for 5 seconds. In (A) of FIG. 28, the road shown in the second background image 61 is displayed in a state of being bent to the right, and correspondingly, the first background image 60 is also displayed in a state of being moved to the right. There is.

Next, after the screen shown in FIG. 28A is displayed for 5 seconds, the screen shown in FIG. 28B is displayed for 5 seconds. In (B) of FIG. 28, a state where the road shown in the second background image 61 is traveling straight is displayed, and correspondingly, a state where the first background image 60 is also moved to the center is displayed.

Next, after the screen of FIG. 28 (B) is displayed for 5 seconds, the screen of FIG. 28 (C) is displayed for 5 seconds.
In (C) of FIG. 28, the first background image 60 is the same as that shown in (B) of FIG. 28, but the road shown in the second background image 61 is shown with unevenness. The contour of the road is displayed by a substantially cubic curve, that is, the width of the road is wider toward the front and narrower toward the back, thereby indicating the undulating state of the road. It is possible to display a more realistic screen.

Next, various image processing methods used in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment to give a more realistic presence on the screen will be described. First, the first background image 60 shown in FIGS. 25 to 28 will be described. The first background image 60 is realized by the scroll function described above. That is, in the storage area of the VRAM 317, for example, in the storage area corresponding to the first screen 703,
The data of the background image larger than the image displayed as the first background image 60 is stored in advance, and the first background image 60 is stored.
The image data required for are displayed while scrolling sequentially. As a result, it is not necessary to rewrite the data stored in the VRAM 317, the background image can be moved at high speed, and a realistic background image can be displayed at high speed even if a storage device having a low data rewriting speed is used. It becomes possible.

Next, an image processing method for giving a sense of speed in the running state of the vehicle will be described. FIG. 29 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an image processing method for giving a sense of speed in a traveling state of a vehicle. As shown in FIG. 29A,
The second background image 61 is divided into a plurality of regions in which the width of the screen in the vertical direction gradually increases as the screen goes from the upper part to the lower part. That is, the width L1 at the uppermost portion is the narrowest, the width gradually increases, and finally the region is divided into the regions having the width L2 at the lowermost portion. Each area is displayed alternately in black and white. That is, first, the uppermost area is displayed in black, the next area is displayed in white, the colors of the respective areas are alternately displayed thereafter, and the color of the lowermost area is displayed in black. The first background image 60 is, for example, as shown in FIG.
Although the first background 60 shown in FIGS. 5 to 28 is displayed, the display is omitted here to simplify the description.

After the screen shown in FIG. 29A is displayed, the screen shown in FIG. 29B is displayed. The screen shown in FIG. 29B is displayed in the second background image 61 in FIG.
The part shown in black in (A) of 9 is displayed in white, and the part displayed in white is displayed in black. Figure 29 above
By alternately displaying the screens shown in (A) and (B), the second background image 6 is displayed due to the afterimage effect of human eyes.
The road displayed in 1 looks as if it were moving.

The image processing method for displaying the above two screens is performed by changing the color palette data which is the display color data referred to by the palette RAM 325. That is, the contour data of the image to be displayed on the second background is stored in the VRAM 317 and the character ROM 319.
Color palette RAM3 that is stored in advance and referred to
Change the 25 color palette data. In particular,
For example, in the uppermost area (area of width L1), the black pallet data is first referenced, and then the white color pallet data is referenced to alternately display the image in white or black, and from the bottom. In the area below, first,
By referring to the white color palette data and then to the black color palette data, white or black is displayed alternately. In each of the following divided areas, black or white is alternately displayed by switching the color palette data referenced from the color palette RAM 325 in the same manner as above. In the above process, of the image data, the image data for displaying the shapes stored in the VRAM 317 and the character ROM 319 is not rewritten, but only the image data relating to the colors stored in the palette RAM 325, that is, the color palette data is changed. Since the image is changed by doing so, the amount of data to be changed is extremely small, and it becomes possible to rewrite the image data at high speed and display the above screens on the display unit 32. As a result, it is possible to give a sense of speed in the running state of the vehicle and further improve the sense of presence.

In the above description, the method of changing the color palette data to be referred to for each of a plurality of divided areas has been described.
For example, it is divided into two groups, and one group stores color palette data in which the second background image 61 is alternately displayed in black and white as shown in FIG. 29A, and the other group is stored. 29B, color palette data is stored in advance so that white and black images are alternately displayed, and a group of color palette data is alternately selected. May be displayed in the same manner as above. In this case, since it is not necessary to select the color palette data stored in the color palette RAM 325 for each divided area, the color palette data can be selected for each group, so that the rewriting time of the image data can be further shortened and the speed can be increased. It is possible to switch and display images.

Note that the value shown in the figure is set in “* 1” in FIG. 32, but since this bit is not actually used, it indicates the part in which another value may be set. The same applies to FIG. 33.

Next, the relationship between the value of WCRND_ACT and command data at the time of a big hit will be described. FIG.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a relationship between a value of WCRND_ACT and command data COM0, COM4, COM5 at the time of a big hit. There are 6 types of reach 1 to 6 as the types of reach at the time of a big hit. Also in this case, similarly to the above, there are two modes with / without spin. As an example, the case of the uppermost stage shown in FIG. 33 will be described.
When the value of CRND_ACT is 0 to 7, reach 1 corresponds and a state with spin corresponds. The reach occurrence probability in this state is 8/128. Further, COM0 transferred at this time is “25H”, bit4 of COM4 is “1”, bit3 and 2 are “00”, bit1 and 0 are “01”, and bit of COM5.
6 is "1", bit5 is "0", bit4
Is "1", bit3 is "0", and bit2
0 is “101”. Hereafter, similarly to the above, WCRND corresponding to each reach type and with / without spin
The value of _ACT is assigned and predetermined command data COM
0, COM4, and COM5 are transferred from the basic circuit 46 to the LCD display 35, and the reach screen corresponding to the value of WCRND_ACT is displayed on the display unit 32.

Next, a method of transferring the above command data will be described. FIG. 34 is a timing chart for explaining the command data transfer method. The basic circuit 46, via the LCD circuit 48 to the LCD display 35,
The above predetermined command is issued to control the operation of the LCD display 35. Transfer of command data from the basic circuit 46 to the LCD display 35 is one-way transfer.
The display 35 has a configuration in which it cannot transmit its own status to the basic circuit 46. However, basic circuit 4
6 is configured to always issue a sequential status, the LCD display 35 side always fetches the status, and when the status which is not currently being executed is transmitted, the transmitted status is displayed. Is configured to run. As a result, even if some trouble occurs on the LCD display 35 side, it is possible to always return to the normal operation after the acquisition of the new status. Therefore, with the above configuration, malfunctions on the LCD display 35 side can be prevented, simple data transfer can be performed, and the circuit configuration and the data bus configuration can be simplified.

The above-mentioned command data communication is 8-bit parallel transfer, and 8-bit data is transferred by one transfer. Also, in order to transfer the necessary data,
One command is composed of the blocks described below. First, one command is always transferred at a fixed time interval. Further, the data length and data order of the command block are the same in any sequence. Further, the checksum byte COMC of the final byte described above is added to the command, so that the command can be received more reliably. LCD display 3 on the receiving side
In 5, the new command reception is started by the reception of the header command COMH, and after the specified byte is received, the command data is inspected by the COMC. Here, the command block length is fixed at 8 bytes, valid command data is 6 bytes, and the checksum is 1 byte.

Referring to FIG. 34, the command block is
The command is transmitted in 9 consecutive bytes, but the command data interval is 2 mS. The signal output from the basic circuit 46 is composed of an 8-bit data line and one IND signal, for a total of nine unidirectional buses. The basic circuit 46 on the transmitting side outputs the command data 1, which is output data, to the data line (the data line is a latch output).
Then, the IND signal is transmitted in the “H” state for 500 μS each time. Thereafter, similarly, command data 2 and command data 3 are sequentially transferred from the basic circuit 46 to the LCD display 35. The beginning of the command block is determined by COMH (fixed at "0CAH") which is a header command.

Next, a display example in the big hit state by the above transfer method will be described. FIG. 35 is a screen configuration diagram showing a display example in the big hit state. Referring to FIG. 35, in the big hit state, a big hit pattern 71, which is a big hit stop symbol, is displayed at the upper left of the screen, a course diagram 70 is displayed at the upper left of the screen, and is displayed at the lower left of the screen. The number of rounds 73 is displayed. In this display example, “777” is displayed as the jackpot pattern 71. In the course diagram 72, a course diagram in which ten white circles are initially connected to the jackpot is displayed, and a white circle portion lights up in accordance with the number of winning prizes (shown by diagonal lines in the figure) to notify the player of the winning number. The number of rounds 73 is a letter indicating the alphabet letter R and the number of rounds, "5" is displayed here, and the value of the number changes according to the number of rounds. The above display example is displayed by transferring the command data of COM0 and COM6 described above from the basic circuit 46 to the LCD display 35.

Next, the method of controlling the movable member 34 will be described in more detail. FIG. 36 is a timing chart for explaining the method of controlling the movable member. Referring to FIG. 36, first, when the middle symbol is in a changing state, that is, when the display content is in a state of changing a symbol, the movable member 3
No. 4 is stopped in the horizontal state as shown in FIG. 2, and the detection signal output from the cam switch 69 is output in the ON state.

Next, the fluctuation of the middle symbols is stopped, and the display unit 3
The display content of 2 is in the state of symbol stop. At this time, the movable member 34 is stopped at the horizontal position as in the state of the symbol variation. When the state of this symbol stop continues for 30 seconds, it shifts to the demo display state in which the demonstration screen is displayed. In order to shift to the demo display state, the basic circuit 46
OM0 is transmitted to the LCD display 35 with "20H".

Upon receiving the COM0 of "20H", the LCD display 35 displays the demonstration screen 1 shown in FIG. 27A for 5 seconds. After that, the LCD display 35
Is the demonstration screen 2 shown in FIG.
Is displayed for 5 seconds, then the demonstration screen 3 shown in (C) is displayed for 5 seconds, the demonstration screen 4 shown in (A) of FIG. 28 is displayed for 5 seconds, and the demonstration screen 5 shown in (B) is displayed for 5 seconds. The demonstration screen 6 shown in (C) is displayed for 5 seconds. After that, the LCD display 35 is displayed on the demonstration screen 1
The process of sequentially displaying ~ 6 for 5 seconds is repeated.

On the other hand, the basic circuit 46 is a CO of "20H".
After a further 5 seconds have elapsed after transmitting M0, a motor control signal is output to the motor drive circuit 59 for 2 seconds in order to rotate the movable member 34 in the left direction, that is, in the CW (clockwise) direction. The motor drive circuit 59 drives the movable member 34 leftward for 2 seconds in accordance with the input motor control signal, and is stopped at a predetermined angle. The demonstration screen 2 displayed on the display unit 32 at this time shows that the road is curved to the left, and it looks as if the movable member 34, which is the handle, is rotated in accordance with the way the road is curved. At this time, the cam switch 69 is
Since the movable member 34 is rotated by a predetermined angle from the horizontal position,
The detection signal is output in the off state.

Next, the basic circuit 46 moves the movable member to the right, that is, CCW (counterclockwise), when 10 seconds have elapsed from the time when COM0 was transmitted.
The motor control signal for rotating in the (e) direction is output to the motor drive circuit 59. The motor drive circuit 59 drives the movable member 34 to rotate rightward in response to the input motor control signal. When the movable member is rotated to the right and the movable member reaches the horizontal position, the cam switch 69 is turned on again, and the basic circuit 46 stops the output of the motor control signal in response to the detection output, and the motor drive circuit Reference numeral 59 stops the rotational drive of the motor 45. As a result, the movable member 34 is stopped at the horizontal position.

On the other hand, in the above state, the demonstration screen 3 is displayed on the display unit 32, and the road is displayed in a straight traveling state. Therefore, by rotating the movable member 34 to the right and stopping it at the horizontal position as described above, it looks as if the movable member 34 was rotated according to the straight road. Thereafter, similar to the above, the basic circuit 46 rotates the movable member 34 to the right when the demonstration screen 4 is displayed, and rotates the movable member 34 to the left when the demonstration screen 5 is displayed. Then stop in a horizontal position. As described above, the movable member 34, that is, the steering wheel is rotated in accordance with the displayed road by rotationally driving the movable member 34 according to the state of the curved road displayed on each of the demonstration screens 1 to 6. It looks as if they are in the air, and it is possible to improve the sense of presence.

In the above embodiment, after the transmission of COM0, the basic circuit 46 outputs the motor control signal to the motor drive circuit 59 at a predetermined timing to control the rotational position of the movable member 34. The number of signal lines output from the circuit 46 is increased, and a control signal corresponding to each state such as “straight ahead”, “right curve”, “left curve”, and “spin” is set to L.
By outputting to the CD display 35 and the motor drive circuit 59, screen display and rotation control of the movable member 34 may be performed according to the road condition and the like. In this case, the switching of the display screen and the rotation control of the movable member are simultaneously performed according to the same signal, so that the rotation control of the movable member 34 can be performed with higher accuracy. Further, in the present embodiment, since the rotational drive of the movable member 34 is controlled only by the time management after the transmission of COM0, the display screen and the rotation of the movable member 34 can be synchronized by transmitting the minimum command data. Therefore, the circuit configuration and data transfer are simplified. Also, the program for signal transfer is simplified, and the capacity can be reduced.

Further, as another method, according to the state of the demonstration screen displayed on the display unit 32, each signal such as "straight ahead", "right curve", "left curve", "spin", etc. The operation of the motor drive circuit 59 and the motor 45 may be controlled according to the signal transmitted from the LCD display 35 to the basic circuit 46 and input by the basic circuit 46. As yet another example, the LCD display 35
Thus, the operations of the motor drive circuit 59 and the motor 45 may be controlled directly. Further, in this embodiment, the movable member is operated on the demonstration screen, but it may be operated during the change of the symbol.

Next, a pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display device itself moves back and forth and swings left and right according to the state of the screen displayed on the display unit of the liquid crystal display device. FIG. 37 is a sectional view showing the configuration of the variable display device of the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Since the other configurations of the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted below.

Referring to FIG. 37, the pachinko gaming machine includes a central unit 100 and a mounting substrate 120. Central device 100

Next, the central unit 1 configured as described above.
The operation of 00 will be described. First, the front-back motion will be described. The front-back motor 113 is rotationally driven, and the rotary cam 109 is rotated. When the rotary cam 109 rotates, the front-rear crank 108 moves back and forth. As a result, the rotary motion of the rotary cam 109 is converted into the reciprocating motion of the front and rear cranks 108. When the front and rear cranks 108 move back and forth, the liquid crystal display device 101 supported by the rollers 102 and 111 and the support rails 103 and 112 so as to be movable back and forth moves back and forth.

Next, the horizontal swing of the liquid crystal display device 101 will be described. When the swing motor 105 rotates, the rotary cam 104 is rotationally driven. When the rotary cam 104 rotates, the rotary crank 106 reciprocates left and right. As a result, the rotary motion of the rotary cam 104 is changed by the rotary crank 10.
Converted to 6 reciprocating motions. When the rotary crank 106 reciprocates left and right, the rotary gear 107 rotates left and right. When the rotary gear 107 rotates left and right, the rotation center axis 1
The liquid crystal display device 101 is rocked to the left and right around the rotation center 10. As a result, the left and right reciprocating motion of the rotary crank 106 is converted into the left and right swinging motion of the liquid crystal display device 101.

The drive control of the swing motor 105 and the front-rear motor 113 can be controlled by the basic circuit 46 and the motor drive circuit 59 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, as in the first embodiment. Further, the control method is the same as in the first embodiment, the LCD display 35 controls the display screen on the display unit 32 in accordance with the command data output from the basic circuit 46, and the LCD display 35 displays the display screen. Accordingly, the rotation of the swing motor 105 and the front-back motor 113 may be controlled at a predetermined time, or the LCD display 35 may directly control the swing motor and the front-back motor.

Next, the specific movement of the liquid crystal display device 101, that is, the display unit, which can move back and forth and swing left and right as described above, will be described. FIG. 38 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the movement of the display unit according to the character image. FIG.

For example, the display unit 121 is rocked to the left or right according to the motion of the character images 122 and 123 of the racing car when the player reaches the reach or the jackpot, or before and after each reach or jackpot. Here, the character image 122 and the character image 123 are in contact with each other, the middle symbol is stopped and displayed, and the display unit 121 is swung to the left and right when a big hit occurs.

Next, with reference to FIG. 38 (b), the movement of the forward / backward movement associated with the movement of the character image will be described. For example, similarly to the above, when the reach or the big hit occurs, or before and after the reach or the big hit, the display unit 121 is moved back and forth according to the change of the character image. Here, the display unit 121 is moved back and forth in accordance with the state in which the character image 122 is spinning. As described above, since the display unit is oscillated in the left-right direction or moved back and forth in accordance with the motion of the character image, the sense of presence is improved compared to the case where only the image is displayed using the fixed display unit.

Next, the movement of the display unit according to an image other than the character image will be described. FIG. 39 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a motion according to an image other than the character image. Referring to FIG. 39 (A), during normal operation, for example, when a straight road is shown in background image 125 below display unit 121, display unit 121 is not swung left / right or moved back and forth. Stop it. Next, FIG.
As shown in (B), the display section 121 is swung left and right in accordance with the display change of the background image 126 which is an image other than the character image. Here, when the road displayed at the bottom of the background image 126 is bent to the right, and when the building above the background image 126 is moved to the left, the display unit 121 is rotated counterclockwise. Let The above display example is performed in accordance with the display of the demonstration screen, for example. Further, when the displayed road turns to the right, the display unit 121 may be rotated clockwise. Further, as shown in FIG. 28C, when the road undulations are displayed, the display unit 121 may be moved back and forth in accordance with the road undulations. In the above-described embodiment, since the display unit 121 is horizontally swung or moved back and forth according to the change of the image other than the character image, for example, the background image 126, only the image is displayed using the fixed display unit. Compared with the case, it is possible to improve the sense of presence.
