[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotary type display device for displaying a display mode at a predetermined position on the rotary body when the rotary body is stopped after the rotary body is rotated and a method of using the rotary display apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a rotary display device is used for a pachinko machine as shown in FIG. 105, a slot machine as shown in FIG. 106, a fortune telling device, and various other devices. For example, in a pachinko machine, the display device main body 12 is provided in the center of the game board 10, and when a pachinko ball is won in the starting opening 14, the three rotary drums 16, 18, 20 provided in the display device main body 12 are rotated. Stop. Rotating drum 1
The symbols (numbers in this case) displayed at the stop positions of 6, 18, and 20 are arranged so that when the same symbols are lined up horizontally or diagonally, the prize balls are paid out as a hit. Similarly, in the slot machine, the rotation of the three rotary drums 22, 24, 26 is started by operating the start button 28, and the stop button 30, which corresponds to each rotary drum,
Stop 32 and 34 in accordance with the timing when each is operated. And the rotary drums 22 and 2 at this time
When the symbols displayed at the stop positions 4 and 26 have the same symbols in a horizontal or diagonal row, a coin or the like is paid out as a hit.

[0003]

The display device as described above has the rotary drums 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26.
The rotation stop operation is performed by one motor. In this way, each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 2
When rotating 2, 24 and 26 around one axis,
Each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 is
There is no room for movement other than rotation in one direction such as up and down and left and right. Therefore, the rotary drums 16, 18,
Even if an attempt is made to provide a variation in the operation pattern from the start of rotation of 20, 22, 24, 26 to the stop thereof, the rotation speed of each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 is changed or the rotation stop operation is performed. There is no other way than to combine, and the operation becomes uniform.

Further, each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 2
Each of the rotary drums 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 2 has a structure in which 2, 24, 26 rotate about one axis.
The symbols displayed on 6 are the rotary drums 16, 18,
When the rotation of 20, 22, 24, 26 is stopped, when viewed from the front, it only moves in one direction such as up and down or left and right and stops.

For this reason, one rotary drum 16, 18,
A variation of the display mode can be provided only for the plurality of symbols displayed on the outer peripheral surfaces of 20, 22, 24, and 26.
Therefore, each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24,
In order to increase the number of display symbols of 26, it is necessary to enlarge each rotary drum 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 or reduce each symbol accordingly. For example,
The rotary drums 16, 18, 20, 22 arranged in three rows
If you try to construct a game with a combination of 24 and 26 symbols, the probability that the same symbols will be lined up in a horizontal row is 1/225
If you try to set to each rotary drum 16, 18, 2
Fifteen kinds of symbols must be displayed on each of 0, 22, 24, and 26. In such a case, miniaturization of each design has a limit in visually recognizing the design, so that the rotating drum must be made large, and the display device becomes large. Therefore, in order to further reduce the probability that the symbol as the display mode is in the hit state, or to increase the variation when the symbol is in the hit state, it is necessary to upsize the display device.

In consideration of the above facts, the present invention can set various operation patterns from the start of rotation of the rotating body to the stop thereof, and the rotary type display can be miniaturized even if there are many variations of the display mode of the rotating body. The purpose is to obtain a device.

That is, one corresponding symbol is displayed on each one detected group 500 of the rotating body 56, and by detecting a detection signal of each detected group 500, a specific symbol corresponding to this is detected. Is configured to be detectable.

If the group to be detected 500 is configured to generate up to 21 different signals, for example, as shown in FIG.
And as shown in FIG. That is, each detected group 500 is composed of an identification element 502 arranged on the circumference and a reference element 504 arranged at the center of the circle.

As shown in FIG. 22, the reference element 504 has a rotation direction line 506 which the X axis traverses when the rotating body 56 rotates.
It is always placed in the prescribed position above.

When the identification element 502 corresponds to, for example, a maximum of 21 symbols, the identification element 502 is divided into eight equal parts on the circumference centered on the reference element 504 with respect to the rotation direction line 506. Among them, the singular number is selectively applied to six positions (positions of 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8) on the rotation direction line 506 except for 2 positions.
Alternatively, a plurality of them may be arranged. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 23, in the case of the pattern-1, in addition to the reference element 504, the identification elements 502 are arranged only at seven positions on the circumference.
Further, in the case of the design-2, in addition to the reference element 504, the identification elements 502 are arranged at positions 6 and 7 on the circumference. In this way, as shown in FIG. 23, the maximum symbol-1 to symbol-2

At this time, when each detected group 500 corresponding to the symbols -1 to -18 passes over the detection sensor 508, a unique signal is generated in the detection sensor 508. For example, the rotation direction line 5 of the rotating body 56

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, when the reference element 504 reaches the ninth sensor, the identification element 502 reaches the seventh sensor, and the output signals of the ninth sensor and the seventh sensor are sent to the control unit. . Then, the control unit detects that the symbol-1 is passing in view of the condition that the rotation direction angle is 0 degree and the output signals of the ninth sensor and the seventh sensor. Further, for example, when the rotation direction angle is 0 degree and in the case of the symbol-2, the output signals of the ninth sensor, the sixth sensor, and the seventh sensor are sent to the control unit, and the symbol-2
Is detected. In this way, other patterns-
3, the symbols -18, each symbol is detected by the output signal as shown in FIG.

Next, when the rotation direction angle shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 32 in which the rotary body 56 is rotated around the X axis is 45 degrees, the reference element 504 passes through the eighth sensor, and the reference sensor 504 is placed on the ninth sensor. Upon receipt of the output signals of the first sensor and the ninth sensor at the time of reaching, the control unit detects that the rotation direction angle is 45 degrees. Further, when the output signal of the ninth sensor is generated by the reference element 504 and the output signal of the sixth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, the control unit is passing the symbol-1 at the rotation direction angle of 45 degrees. Detect that. Other patterns-2
The same applies to the case of design-18.

Next, when the rotation direction angle is 90 degrees as shown in FIGS. 26 and 33, the reference element 504 generates the output signals of the seventh sensor and the ninth sensor, and the rotation direction angle is detected. At the same time, if the output signal of the fifth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. Also, other symbols-2 to-1
The same applies to the case of 8.

27 and 33, the reference element 504 generates output signals from the sixth sensor and the ninth sensor, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 135 degrees. Further, if the output signal of the fourth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. Further, in the case of other symbols-2 to 18 as well, it is similarly detected.

Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 28 and 34, the reference element 504 generates the output signals of the fifth sensor and the ninth sensor, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 180 degrees. Further, if the output signal of the third sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. Further, in the case of other symbols-2 to 18 as well, it is similarly detected.

Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 29 and 34, the reference element 504 generates the output signals of the fourth sensor and the ninth sensor, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 225 degrees. Further, if the output signal of the second sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. Further, in the case of other symbols-2 to 18 as well, it is similarly detected.

Next, in the case shown in FIGS. 30 and 35, the output signals of the third sensor and the ninth sensor are generated by the reference element 504, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 270 degrees. Further, if the output signal of the first sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. Further, in the case of other symbols-2 to 18 as well, it is similarly detected.

31 and 35, the reference element 504 generates output signals from the second sensor and the ninth sensor, and it is detected that the rotation direction angle is 315 degrees. Further, if the output signal of the eighth sensor is generated by the identification element 502, it is detected that the symbol-1 is passing. Further, in the case of other symbols-2 to 18 as well, it is similarly detected.

As described above, in the control unit of the fourth embodiment, the detected group 500 always passes the position of the detection sensor 508 even if the rotating body 56 rotates about the X axis and the Y axis. , When these are at the same position, this detected group 500
It is possible to detect what the symbol corresponding to. Therefore, by controlling the drive of the rotary drive source and the step motor which is the turning drive source by the control unit, the desired pattern displayed on the rotating body 56 is directed to the desired rotational direction angle and the window portion of the cover member is directed. Can be displayed from. Alternatively, when the rotating body 56 is rotated and stopped at an arbitrary position, what is the design on the rotating body 56 displayed from the window of the cover member, and the rotation direction angle to which the design is directed is detected. can do.

Further, when the control unit drives and controls the rotary drive source and the swing drive source, even if an error occurs between the control signal and the operation of each step motor, the detected group corresponding to each symbol Since the correction can be performed based on the relationship, the control operation can be improved. Further, since the detected group 500 of the rotary body 56 is directly detected by the detection sensor 508, complicated adjustment such as alignment of gears constituting the drive mechanism of the rotary body 56 is unnecessary, and the assembling work can be facilitated.

The configuration, operation, and effect of the fourth embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and hence the description thereof is omitted.

(Fifth Embodiment) Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The fifth embodiment is configured such that the rotating body can be rotated around the X axis around the Y axis by one drive source.

In the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIGS.
The rotary body 56 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7 is used.

(Drive Mechanism) The shaft rods 84 fixed to the rotating body 56 are rotatably supported by the bearing portions 88 of the holding frame 86 at the portions near both ends thereof. At the center of the holding frame 86,
As shown in the figure, a cylinder shaft portion 372 is provided, and this cylinder shaft portion 372
Is fixed to the main shaft 376 of the drive source 374.

Rotating member fixed gears 90, which are rolling members, are fixed to both ends of the shaft rod 84 of the rotating member 56. In addition, one of the two rotating body fixed gears 90 is attached to the shaft rod 8
It may be configured such that it is pivotally supported with respect to 4.

Corresponding to the rotation locus of the rotating body fixed gear 90, which is a rolling member that rotates together with the rotating body 56 about the X axis, as shown in the figure, it is a fixing member inside the side wall portion of the housing 50. A fixed gear 378 is provided so as to project. The fixed gear 378 has an annular shape, and a tooth portion 380 is provided on the free end peripheral surface thereof. The rotating body fixed gear 90 is meshed with the tooth portion 380 of this fixed gear, and the rotating body fixed gear 90 rolls on the annular tooth portion 380 as the rotating body 56 rotates. The rotating body 56 is configured to rotate about the Y axis.

(Rotating Body Position Detection) A position detecting sensor 382 is installed at a predetermined position on the side surface of the housing 50 where the drive source 374 is installed. The detected body 384 is installed at a predetermined corresponding position of the holding frame 86 corresponding to the position detection sensor 382, and the detected body 384 is located immediately above the position detection sensor 382.
Detect when the vehicle passes.

The output signal of this position detection sensor 382 is
It is sent to the display control circuit unit, and when the detected object 384 is positioned directly above the position detection sensor 382, the origin is set as the origin.
The rotation angle of 74 is calculated from the number of steps. Then, the rotational speed of the rotating body about the X axis, the rotating speed of the Y axis, and the directional state when the rotating body 56 is stopped are indicated by the rotating body fixed gear 9
It is calculated from the gear ratio between 0 and the tooth portion 380 of the fixed gear 378. Even when the drive source 374 itself has the origin detection function, the stopped directional state of the rotating body 56 can be calculated from the gear ratio as described above.

Next, the operation and operation of the fifth embodiment will be described. First, by controlling the rotation of the drive source 374, the holding frame 86 rotates integrally with the main shaft 376 around the X axis. At the same time, as the rotating body 56 rotates about the X axis, the rotating body fixed gear 90 rolls on the tooth portion 380 of the fixed gear 378, so that the rotating body 56 is integrated with the rotating body fixed gear 90 in the Y direction. Rotate around an axis.

The rotating motion of the rotating body 56 about the X axis and the Y axis is performed by the rotation speed of the drive source 374 and the rotating body fixed gear 90.
Since it is uniquely determined by the gear ratio between the fixed gear 378 and the tooth portion 380 of the fixed gear 378, the rotation state (rotation angle) of the drive source 374 is used to detect the directional state of the rotating body 56 stopped at an arbitrary position or to rotate. The body 56 can be set in a desired orientation.

In the fifth embodiment, with the configuration as described above, the rotating body is rotated in the X-axis and Y-direction by a single drive source.
It is possible to simultaneously perform the rotational movement and the turning movement in two axial directions different from the axis. Therefore, one drive source can be reduced as compared with the case where two drive sources are provided for each axis, so that the structure can be simplified and an inexpensive product can be provided.

The configuration, operation, and effect of the fifth embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and hence the description thereof is omitted.

(Sixth Embodiment) Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39. In the sixth embodiment, an outer peripheral display means for displaying the turning angle position (rotational direction) of the rotary body 56 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the rotary body 56.

A display peripheral portion 386 is integrally formed on the eighth side. The display peripheral portion 386 is formed in an annular shape, and the opening peripheral end portion thereof faces the vicinity of the circular opening window portion 388 through which the rotating body 56 is seen in the housing 50. In the diametrical direction of the display peripheral portion 386 that is orthogonal to the rotation axis 84 of the rotating body 56, that is, in the rotation direction of the rotating body 56 around the Y axis, as shown in FIG. 39, an arrow member 390 that is a triangular mark member. Set up.

As another structural example, as shown in FIG. 40, the holding frame 86 may be integrally formed with an annular flat side surface display peripheral portion 392 having a flange portion. In this case, as shown in FIG. 41, an arrow 394 is displayed at a predetermined position similar to FIGS. 38 and 39 on the outer peripheral flat surface portion of the flat side surface display peripheral portion 392.

Further, the circular opening window portion 388 of the housing 50.
39 and 41, the circumference is divided into 24 blocks, and a division scale that is a number from 0 to 23 is displayed on the outer peripheral surface of the.

Next, the operation and operation of the sixth embodiment will be described. In the sixth embodiment, when the rotating body 56 is rotated around the X axis, the holding frame 86 having the bearing portion 88 that pivotally supports the rotating shaft 84 of the rotating body 56 is integrally rotated around the X axis. Turn to.

Therefore, the arrow member 390 or the arrow 39
4 also rotates about the X axis, and the arrow member 3
90 or arrow 394 always indicates the rotation direction of the rotating body 56 around the Y axis.

The circular opening window portion 3 indicated by the arrow member 390 or the arrow 394 when the rotating body 56 is stopped.
The number displayed on the outer peripheral surface of 88 is specified as the direction in which the rotator 56 faces. During the turning motion of the rotating body 56 around the X axis, the current position of the rotating body 56 in the rotating direction around the Y axis is displayed.

With the above configuration, the stop position of the rotary body 56 around the X axis is finely divided (for example, 36).
When it is set), it is difficult to visually determine the turning stop position of the rotating body 56, but the arrow member 39
The direction of rotation of the rotating body 56 can be easily determined by reading 0 or the number on the division scale indicated by the arrow 394.

Furthermore, since it becomes easy to know the turning direction of the rotating body 56 during the turning motion moment by moment, it is possible to predict whether or not the symbols displayed on the rotating body 56 will stop in a hit state. As a result, the player can enjoy the game.

The structure, operation, and effect of the sixth embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and hence the description thereof is omitted.

(Seventh Embodiment) Next, a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 42 to 44. The seventh embodiment is provided with an outer peripheral rotation display mechanism as an outer peripheral display means provided on the outer peripheral portion of the rotating body 56.

In FIG. 42, an outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is mounted on the back side of the cover member 60 in the housing 50, around the rotary body 56.

The outer peripheral rotary display board 396 has a wide annular shape, and spur gear teeth 398 are formed on the outer peripheral part thereof, and is rotatably supported about the X axis by bearing means (not shown). As shown in FIG. 44, the outer flat surface portion of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is divided into 24 blocks, and each block is displayed with four hit symbols 400 or star-shaped deviating symbols 402 as shown. To be done.

The teeth portion 398 of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 meshes with the drive gear 404. The drive gear 404 is fixed to the free end of the long shaft 408 of the display panel drive source 406 which is a motor provided on the right side surface of the housing 50 in the figure.

The rotational position of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 about the X axis is uniquely determined by the number of rotations (rotation angle) of the display board drive source 406 and the gear ratio between the tooth portion 398 and the drive gear 404. The outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is stopped at a desired rotation position by the section, or the rotation position of the outer circumference rotation display board 396 stopped at an arbitrary position is detected.

(Drive Mechanism) The shaft bars 84 fixed to the rotating body 56 are axially supported by the bearing portions 88 of the holding frame 86 at their ends. At the center of the holding frame 86,
As shown in the figure, the shaft portion 320 is integrally projected. Shaft 32
At 0, a drive shaft of a swing drive source 98, which is a motor, is fixed for transmitting power.

Further, rotating body fixed gears 90 are provided at both ends of the shaft rod 84 of the rotating body 56 for power transmission. Of these two fixed rotating body gears 90,
One of them may be configured so as to be rotatably supported by the shaft rod 84. The rotating body fixed gear 90 meshes with the gear 106 of the intervening gear 102. The intervening gear 102 is formed in a hemispherical shape, and a gear 106 is formed around the opening that is wide open.

The shaft cylinder portion 104 provided at the central portion of the intervening gear 102 is inserted into a bearing cylinder portion 322 which is integrally formed as a cylindrical projection on the mechanism supporting plate 52, and is axially supported.

The shaft cylinder portion 104 of the intervening gear 102 is provided with a spur gear portion 324 which is provided in a protruding shape in the form of a collar and has teeth formed on its outer peripheral portion. The spur gear unit 324 is a rotary drive source 11 that is a motor.
It is constituted by meshing with the drive gear 112 of 0.

Next, the operation and operation of the drive mechanism configured as described above will be described. First, when the rotary drive source 110 is rotationally controlled, the driving force is transmitted from the drive gear 112 to the holding frame 86 and transmitted to the fixed rotor gear 90, which rotates the rotatable body 56 integrated with the fixed rotor gear 90 around the Y axis. Turn to.

When the turning drive source 98 is controlled to rotate, the holding frame 86 integrated with the drive shaft is directly rotated, and the rotating body 56 is rotated around the X axis.

When the seventh embodiment is constructed,
It may be configured as illustrated in FIG. In the structure shown in FIG. 43, a bevel gear tooth portion is formed by obliquely cutting the outer peripheral portion of the outer peripheral rotary display board 396 mounted on the back side of the cover member 60 in the housing 50 so as to be rotatable about the X axis. 410 is formed. The drive bevel gear 412 is meshed with the tooth portion 410. The drive bevel gear 412 is fixed to the shaft 414 of the display panel drive source 406, which is a motor provided on the upper side surface of the housing 50 in the drawing.

Next, the operation and operation of the seventh embodiment will be described. The display shaft drive source 406 is rotationally controlled to drive the drive shaft 40.
8 and 414 are rotated. Then, the drive shafts 408, 414
The outer peripheral rotation display board 396, which is meshed with the drive gears 404, 412 integrated with the rotary gear and transmits the rotational force, rotates around the X axis. Then, by stopping the display board drive source 406 at the position of the required rotation speed (rotation angle), the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 can be stopped at the desired rotation position. As a result, the specific hit symbol 400 displayed on the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 can be set at a desired rotation position. Alternatively, when the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is stopped at an arbitrary position, the rotation speed (rotation angle) of the display board drive source 406 can be detected to detect the rotation position of the outer periphery rotation display board 396. As a result, the position of the specific hit symbol 400 displayed on the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 can be detected.

The configuration, operation, and effect of the seventh embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and hence the description thereof is omitted.

(Eighth Embodiment) Next, an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 45 to 52. The eighth embodiment relates to a means for advancing a game by mounting a rotary display device displaying a plurality of symbols on a rotating body 56 in a pachinko machine.

In the eighth embodiment, since the rotary display device is used for a pachinko machine, a decoration member 550 as shown in FIG. 45 is installed on the front surface of the cover member.

(Design) The design divides the circumference of the rotating body 56 in the direction of rotation into 6 parts, and displays a winning design as a contractual meaning at 4 of them. That is, FIG. 46 of the winning symbol
In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the numeral 7 is displayed upright when the rotating body 56 rotates from the top to the bottom of the drawing. FIG. 4
In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the Victory mark is displayed upright when the rotating body 56 rotates from left to right toward the drawing. In the example illustrated in FIG. 48, a big mark is displayed upright when the rotating body 56 rotates from right to left toward the drawing. In the example illustrated in FIG. 49, the ace mark is displayed upright when the rotating body 56 rotates from the bottom to the top of the drawing.

(Outer Circumference Displaying Means) Indicator lamps 126 each composed of an LED or the like are arranged in the area around the rotator 56, which is divided into 12 by being divided into central angles of 30 degrees.

The rotary type display device having the rotating body displaying the above-mentioned symbols and the outer peripheral display means drives and controls the rotating drive source and the swinging drive source to rotate the rotating body 5.
6 is rotated about the X axis and the Y axis. At this time, the rotator 56 performs a complicated rotation operation around the X axis and the Y axis as illustrated in FIG. At the same time, as shown in FIG.
The required indicator light is turned on.

In the eighth embodiment, the symbols are controlled so as to stop at the corresponding turning positions so as to face any of the twelve indicator lamps 126, and the rotor 56 stops at predetermined six positions. Controlled. In this case, 12
The lighting position of each of the indicator lamps 126 is the first condition. Also,
The second condition is which one of the twelve turning stop positions around the X-axis the rotating body 56 stops. 6 of the rotating body 56
A third condition is which one of the divided rotation stop positions around the Y-axis is to be stopped. In this way, when the first condition is 1/12, the second condition is 1/12, and the third condition has a probability of 1/6, and there are four winning symbols, the winning probability is 21.
It becomes one sixth. A desired hit probability can be created by changing each of the first, second, and third probabilities.

Next, the operation and operation of the rotary display device along the flow of the game when the above rotary display device is used for a pachinko machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 51 and 52.

First, the pachinko machine is turned on to start the game (step 552). A pachinko ball is won in the starting opening while the game is in progress (step 554). Then, the control unit receiving the signal determines whether or not the rotating body of the rotary display device is rotating and the design is changing (step 55).
6). Then, when the symbol is changing, a starting process is held, a holding process (step 558) is carried out.
If the symbol is not changing, it is determined whether or not it is on hold (step 560), and if it is on hold, hold processing (step 558) is performed. If it is determined that the call is not on hold (step 560), it is determined whether or not the hit determination is to be performed with high probability (step 562). And
When the probability is high, the shortening fluctuation process (step 564) is executed, and when the probability is not high, the normal fluctuation process (step 566) is executed. Shortening fluctuation process (step 564)
Executes the control for turning on and turning the twelve indicator lights 126 one by one in order for 2 seconds. At the same time, the operation of rotating the rotating body 56 around the X axis is performed for 1 second.
At this time, as shown in Table 1, the operation of turning on the indicator light 126 in order is 1, low speed, 2, middle speed,
Since it can be set in three stages of 3, medium and high speed, and 4 and high speed, the indicator lamp 126 is turned on and the operation is stopped by turning the lamp at a high speed at the beginning and turning it at a low speed in the latter half. To do.

Further, as shown in Table 1, the operation of rotating the rotating body 56 is set in five stages of S, ultra-low speed, 1, low speed, 2, medium speed, 3, medium high speed, 4 and high speed. it can. Therefore, here, as shown in Table 2, the rotation speed of the rotating body 56 is increased in four steps from 1 low speed to 4 high speeds, and in the latter half, 5 speeds are increased from 4 high speeds to S ultra low speeds. After lowering, stop and display the design.

In the normal fluctuation process (step 566), the lighting control of the indicator lamp 126 is executed for 5 or 5 seconds. At the same time, the rotary motion of the rotary body 56 about the X axis is performed for 2 seconds.
Then, similarly to the above, the indicator lamp 126 is controlled to operate at a high speed at the beginning and finally to a low speed to stop. Also,
In the same way as described above shown in Table 2, the rotator 56 first increases its speed from 1 low speed to 4 high speeds, and in the latter half from 4 high speeds to S
Try to slow down to a very low speed and stop. The numerical values in Table 2 show the case where the power for the rotary drive source to rotate the rotary body 56 is not decelerated, and the power for the rotary drive source to rotate the rotary body 56 is reduced to 1/10. There is.

Next, it is judged whether or not the lighting position of the indicator light 126 of the first condition and the turning stop position of the rotating body 56 of the second condition are in the reach state suitable for hitting (step 56).
8). That is, the reach state is a state in which the indicator lamp 126 is turned on at the rotational direction position around the Y axis of the symbol, as shown in FIGS. 46 to 59. It should be noted that what is shown in the figure is a reference line 55 for each symbol in order to clarify the relationship with the display.
The two indicator lights 126 corresponding to 1 are also turned on. Further, the lighting position of the indicator lamp 126 is not limited to that shown in the figure, and any of the 12 indicator lamps 126 may be lit, and the lighting position and the rotating direction of the rotating body 56 may correspond to each other. If it reaches the reach state.

When it is determined that the reach state is not reached, 0.25 seconds later, the rotation of the rotor 56 about the Y-axis is stopped, and the process returns to before the start mouth winning (step 554) (step 570).

If it is in the reach state, lighting display processing for displaying the reach mode of the indicator lamp 126 is performed (step 572).

Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated around the Y axis at a medium speed of 3.
It is rotated for 6 to 4.9 seconds, that is, 3 to 4 rotations (step 574). Next, rotate the rotor 56 at a low speed for 4.8 seconds,
That is, it is rotated twice (step 576).

Next, the rotary member 56 is rotated for 2.4 seconds at an ultra-low speed from the specific symbol to be stopped, which is three symbols before the specific symbol (step 578).

Next, it is judged whether or not it is a super reach (step 580). If you are not super reach,
The rotating operation of the rotating body 56 is stopped (step 582), and the process proceeds to the next determination step 584.

Incidentally, as shown in Table 1, the rotating operation of the rotating body 56 about the Y axis can be set in 7 stages of forward rotation and 6 stages of reverse rotation. The rotation operation of the rotating body 56 around the Y axis is determined by the relative rotation operation of the rotation drive source and the turning drive source. Therefore, the seven stages of normal rotation are set as follows. First, as 1 ', the rotational speed of the rotary drive source is 1
0 (rpm) (corresponding to the turning drive source 2, medium speed).
As 2 ', a rotation drive source: 19 (rpm) (swing drive source: 1, low speed). 3 ', rotary drive source: 20 (rp
m) (Turning drive source: 1, low speed) In this case, the rotating body stops. As 4 ', a rotation drive source: 28 (rpm) (swing drive source: 2, medium speed). 5 ', rotary drive source: 40
(Rpm) (swing drive source: 3, medium and high speed). 6 ',
Rotation drive source: 54 (rpm) (swing drive source: 3, medium and high speed). As 7 ', the rotation drive source is 100 (rpm) (turning drive source: 4, high speed).

In the case of reverse rotation, as shown in Table 1, it is set to 1, ultra low speed, 2, low speed, 3, medium speed, 4, medium high speed, 5, high speed, 6, ultra high speed.

[0168]

[Table 1]

[0169]

[Table 2]

Then, the control operation of the rotary drive source is performed as shown in Table 2, for example. That is, the speed mode of the rotary drive source is set to 3'when the rotary drive source starts to rotate. As a result, the rotating body stops rotating around the Y axis and turns around the X axis. After that, as shown in Table 2, the rotating body is rotated in the normal direction to increase its speed and then decelerates again. The rotating body is rotated in the reverse direction immediately before the turning drive source is stopped. Let the action take place.

Next, when it is determined in step 580 that it is a super reach, the rotating body 56 is rotated at a low speed for half a turn (for 1 to 2 seconds) (step 586). Next, the rotator 56 is rotated 2-3 times at medium speed (for 2.4 to 3.6 seconds) (step 588). Next, the rotating body 56 is rotated at a low speed by half rotation (for 1 to 2 seconds) (step 590).

Next, when the stop pattern selection processing (step 592) is performed and the first selection branch is selected,
The rotation operation of the rotating body 56 is temporarily stopped, and 0.35 seconds later,
Rotate to stop by half a symbol and stop (step 59)
4). When the second selection branch is selected, the rotating operation of the rotating body 56 is immediately stopped (step 596). When the third selection branch is selected, the rotating operation of the rotating body 56 is temporarily stopped, and after 0.35 seconds, a half symbol is returned to stop (step 598).

Next, step 594, step 596,
After the process of step 598 or step 582, the process proceeds to step 584, and it is determined whether or not the hit. In the case of falling off, the process returns to the step before step 554 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. In the case of a hit, a big winning process is performed (step 600).

Next, it is judged whether or not the power is off (step 6
02) If not, go back to step 554 and wait until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. If it is off, the operation ends (step 604).

In the above-described eighth embodiment, the turning stop position around the X axis of the rotating body 56 is the second condition, and the rotation stop position around the Y axis is the third condition. However, in the eighth embodiment, as another configuration example, the rotation stop position around the Y axis of the rotating body 56 may be set as the second condition, and the turning stop position around the X axis may be set as the third condition. Even when the second and third conditions are interchanged as described above, all the hit probabilities of the first, second, and third conditions do not change. However, the probability of the second condition changes from 1/12 to 1/6. In this configuration, one of the indicator lights 126 of the first condition lights up,
When the symbol of the condition, for example, the symbol 7 that is a big hit is specified, the symbol 7 that may be a big hit turns around the X axis, and the symbol 7 stops at a position that matches the lighting position of the indicator lamp 126. If this is done, the third condition is complete and a big hit occurs, so the operation of turning the symbol 7 around the X axis has a strong appealing effect to the player of the pachinko machine. The probability that the design 7 will stop at the matching position of the indicator lamp 126 is 1/12. Further, as described above, the operation of turning around the X axis in the state where the hit symbol is displayed on the front is also effective as the display means for the demonstration.

The eighth embodiment can be carried out by utilizing the constitution of the rotary display device described above, and the constitution, action and effect other than those described above in the present embodiment are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment. Since it is similar to the above, the description thereof will be omitted.

(Ninth Embodiment) Next, a ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The ninth embodiment relates to means for advancing a game by a rotary display device displaying a plurality of symbols on a rotating body 56.

In the ninth embodiment, the circumference of the rotating body 56 in the direction of rotation is divided into six, and the big symbols, the Victory mark, the numeral 7, and the ace mark, which are the hitting symbols, are displayed at four of them.

Further, an outer peripheral rotation display board 396 as shown in FIG. 53 is mounted around the rotary body 56. The outer surface portion of the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is divided into 24 blocks,
In each block, four hit symbols 400 corresponding to the above-mentioned four hit symbols are arranged in quadrants, and a star-shaped deviating symbol 402 is displayed as a display means on the other parts.

Outside the outer peripheral rotation display board 396, contact position marks 520 for displaying the outer periphery are arranged at four positions in the up, down, left and right directions toward the drawing.

Next, the operation and game structure of the ninth embodiment will be described. In the ninth embodiment, the first condition is that the hit symbol 400 on the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is stopped at a position corresponding to the hit position mark 520. In addition, the rotation directions of the four hit symbols displayed on the rotating body 56 are the same as the hit symbols 400 corresponding to the respective hit symbols 400, and stop.
It is a condition. Then, when the first condition and the second condition are satisfied at the same time, the winning is achieved.

The outer peripheral rotation display board 396 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the device rotates clockwise in the figure and then stops. If the hit symbol 400 and the hit position mark 520 match as illustrated in FIG. 53 or 54, the first condition is satisfied. Further, as shown in FIG. 55 or FIG. 56, if the hit symbol 400 and the hit position mark 520 do not match, it is disengaged.

The rotary body 56 turns around the X axis (rotates counterclockwise in the figure) and rotates around the Y axis (rotates from right to left in the figure). By simultaneously executing the rotation and turning operations, the symbols are moved in various directions and then stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 53, the rotation direction of the big mark of the hit symbol as the contractual meaning of the rotating body 56 also coincides with the hit symbol 400 of the big mark, or the rotation direction of the Victory mark as shown in FIG. Similarly, if the hit symbol 400 of the Victory mark matches, the second condition is satisfied. Even if the figure number 7 or the ace mark appears,
As illustrated in FIG. 6, when the rotation direction of these symbols is directed to the deviation symbol 402, it is determined as deviation. Book No. 9
In the embodiment, four hit symbols 4 on the outer peripheral rotation display board 396 are used.
The probability that 00 matches the hit position mark 520 is 4/24. Also, the hit symbol 4 corresponding to the rotation direction of the hit symbol
The probability of matching 00 is 1/24. Further, the probability that the rotating body is stopped and a specific hit symbol is displayed is 1/6, and the hit symbol is four. Therefore, the overall hit probability can be set to 1/216. In this way, a combination of low probabilities can realize a large number of display forms with a simple structure of the rotating body 56 and the outer peripheral rotation display board 396, and a small number of designs, and the display device can be miniaturized.

The ninth embodiment can be implemented by utilizing the structure of the rotary display device described above, and the structure, action, and effect other than those described above in the present embodiment are the same as those of the eighth embodiment. Since it is similar to the embodiment and other embodiments, the description thereof is omitted.

(Tenth Embodiment) Next, a tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 57 to 59. Book tenth
In the embodiment, the rotating body 56 is rotated and swung in two different axial directions, and then hit at the stopped position to determine the disengagement.

In the tenth embodiment, the outer peripheral surface portion of the rotary member 56 that is most distant from the Y axis is divided into nine blocks with a central angle of 40 degrees. In one of the nine blocks, one jackpot character 606 and eight outlier patterns 608 are displayed.

Further, the cover member 60 accommodating the rotating body 56.
A scale plate 610 is arranged around the rotating body 56 in FIG. The outer surface of the scale plate 610 has a central angle of 15
A scale 612 is provided which is divided into 24 and is divided into 24.
Further, a hit position display 614 is arranged at the 0 o'clock position of the clock on the scale 612 as shown in FIG. With such a configuration, and when the hit state is set to the state in which the big hit character 606 is erected in the center and corresponds to the hit position display 614 as shown in FIG. 57, the hit probability can be reduced to 1/216. it can.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG.
The driving mechanism and the like around the X axis and the Y axis are similar to those of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG.

Next, the operation and operation of the rotary display device along the flow of the game when the above rotary display device is used for a pachinko machine will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the pachinko machine is turned on to start the game (step 622). A pachinko ball is won in the starting opening while the game is in progress (step 624). Then, the control unit receiving the signal determines whether or not the rotating body of the rotary display device is rotating and the design is changing (step 62).
6). Then, when the symbol is changing, the reserved ball process (step 628) for holding the starting mouth winning is held.
If the symbol is not changing, it is judged whether or not it is on hold (step 630), and if it is on hold, hold processing (step 628) is performed. When it is determined that the call is not on hold (step 630), it is determined whether or not the hit determination is performed with high probability (step 632). And
If the probability is high, the shortening fluctuation process (step 634) is executed, and if it is not high, the normal fluctuation process (step 636) is executed. Shortening fluctuation process (step 634)
Causes the rotating body 56 to rotate simultaneously about the X axis and the Y axis, and starts turning. First, the rotation and turning operations start at a low speed and immediately shift to a high speed operation. This high speed operation is maintained for several seconds and then shifts to the medium speed operation. Then, the rotation around the Y-axis is stopped, and at this time, the symbol displayed on the front surface of the rotating body 56 is rotated around the X-axis.

In the normal fluctuation process (step 636), first, the rotating body 56 is started to rotate around the Y axis at a low speed, and the medium speed operation is immediately started. After that, the rotating body 56 starts rotating around the X axis at a low speed, and the medium speed operation is immediately started. After that, the operation in which the rotating body 56 is rotating at the medium speed around the X axis and the Y axis is immediately transferred to the high speed operation. Next, the high-speed rotation operation of the rotating body 56 around the X-axis and the Y-axis gradually shifts to the medium-speed operation. After this, the rotating body 56
The rotation around the Y axis is stopped, and at this time, the symbol displayed on the front surface of the rotating body 56 turns around the X axis.

Next, it is determined whether or not the symbol displayed on the front surface of the rotating body 56 has become a winning symbol and is in the reach state (step 638). Then, when it is determined that the reach state is not the contractual meaning, the rotation of the rotating body 56 about the Y axis is immediately stopped, and the process returns to before the start mouth winning (step 624) (step 640).

If it is in the reach state, the rotational movement reach variation process about the Y axis is performed (step 64).
2). This reach variation process is a process in which the rotation operation of the rotating body 56 is gradually changed to a low speed, and then the rotating body 56 is rotated several times at an ultra-low speed and then stopped.

Next, it is judged whether or not it is a super reach (step 644). When it is not the super reach, the rotation of the rotating body 56 is stopped (step 646),
The process moves to the next hit determination step 648. On the other hand, if it is the super reach, the rotation operation super reach variation process is executed (step 670). In the super-reach variation processing, the rotation of the rotating body 56 about the Y-axis is set to an ultra-low speed, and then temporarily stopped, and then rapidly rotated at a high speed. Thereafter, the high-speed rotation of the rotating body 56 is gradually decelerated, and the processing is stopped after reaching a low speed.

Next, a hit determination is made (step 64).
8) On the other hand, if the ball is off, the process returns to the step before step 624 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. In the case of a hit, a big hit process is performed (step 650). In the big hit process, a hit symbol is displayed on the front surface of the rotating body 56, and as shown in FIG. 57, the big hit character 606 is stopped in a state where the big hitting character 606 is oriented toward the hit position display 614 in the center of the rotating body 56. After that, the rotating body 56 is slowly rotated once about the X axis.

Next, the operation of opening the special winning opening (first time) is performed. After this, the special winning opening opening operation is ended, and the rotating body 56 is rotated once around the X axis during the interval period until the next special winning opening opening operation is started.

Next, the special winning opening opening operation (second time) is started. In this way, the big winning opening opening operation is repeated up to a total of 18 times, for example, and the big hit process is completed.

Next, it is judged whether or not the power is turned off (step 65
2) If the power is not turned off, the process returns to step 624 and waits until the pachinko ball wins the starting opening. If the power is off, the operation is finished (step 65).
4).

In the description of the operation with the flowchart shown in FIG. 59, the rotation of the rotary body 56 about the Y axis is stopped first, and the rotation about the X axis is stopped later. . However, conversely, the turning of the rotating body 56 around the X axis is shortened and changed (step 63).
4), or the normal fluctuation process (step 636) may be stopped, and thereafter, the rotation around the Y axis may be stopped.

The tenth embodiment can be implemented by utilizing the structure of the rotary display device described above, and the structure, action, and effect other than those described above in this embodiment are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Since it is similar to the above, the description thereof will be omitted.

(Eleventh Embodiment) Next, an eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 60 to 103. Book first
One embodiment is configured to use a plurality of rotary display devices and to advance a game by a combination of a pattern displayed on the rotating body of each device and a display mode thereof.

In the case of combining a plurality of rotary display devices, for example, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 in which three rotary display devices are arranged side by side, or shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 is exemplified. It is constructed as in the third embodiment. Then, as shown in FIG. 60, when the three rotating bodies 56 are arranged side by side, the respective symbols are displayed side by side in a row. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 61, the three rotating bodies 56 may be arranged in a triangular shape that is convex upward toward the drawing.

In the state where the same symbol as the symbol displayed in Fig. 3 is displayed on the front surface of the third rotating body 56, after turning around the X axis, it is finally stopped, and hit and disengaged are displayed. To do so.

Alternatively, the turning motion of the third rotating body 56 around the X axis is stopped at an angle that matches the rotation angle direction of the first and second rotating bodies 56, and thereafter, the third rotating body 56 is rotated. To Y
After rotating it around the axis, stop it, hit it, and display that it is out. When the reach is reached in this way, by stopping only the turning operation around the X-axis or the rotating operation around the Y-axis and performing the changing operation only in the rotation or only in the turning, both the X-axis and the Y-axis are changed. It is possible to express a motion different from the normal motion of rotating around at the same time, and it is possible to attract the interest of a player who plays a game by using this rotary display device so that the player does not get tired of it.

Also, as shown in the above-mentioned display symbol example, a common symbol such as the all 7 or just all mark is displayed on the second and third rotating bodies, and the symbol is displayed in the rotation angle direction around the X axis. By providing an unrelated hit, the game can be improved. In addition, a specific symbol such as the number 7 such as the all 7 is targeted so that the user can easily understand how to play the game.

When a plurality of rotary display devices are used as a set, even if the number of symbols displayed on each rotor 56 is small, by combining the display modes of the symbols on the rotors 56, The number of combinations can be large.

Further, since the number of symbols displayed on each individual rotating body 56 is small, the area for displaying one symbol on each rotating body 56 can be made large, so that the large symbols can be displayed. Further, in the case of displaying the symbols of the same size, the rotating body itself can be miniaturized as compared with the conventional display of a large number of symbols.

[0273]

Since the invention is configured as described above, various operation patterns can be set from the start of rotation of the rotating body to the stop thereof, and the probability of the symbol being in the hit state is lowered, or when the symbol is in the hit state. Even if there are many variations of
It is possible to obtain a rotary pattern display device that can be miniaturized.
