A combination (for example, 777) of the specific image 102a corresponding to the winning is displayed on the top, and the gaming machine 100 performs a predetermined winning operation such as opening the pocket 104.

[0003]

The display device 10 will now be described.
In 1, when the number of lines with which the images can be aligned, that is, the number of winning lines is as large as possible, the expectation for winning is increased, and the game becomes more thrilling.
In particular, when a state is formed in which all the remaining images 102a except one are of the same type (hereinafter, this is referred to as a reach state) with respect to the winning line, the player's expectation for winning. Although the feeling is enhanced to the highest degree, it can be said that such a reach state is easily formed as the number of winning lines is increased.

However, the display device 1 shown in FIG.
In 01, the number of images that can be visually recognized from the display window 105 in the image 102a is the same as that displayed in the vicinity of the center of the display window 105 and above and below it because the outer peripheral surface of the drum 102 is a cylindrical surface. However, the number of winning lines that can be formed is not so large and the number is limited to about 3 in total.

An object of the present invention is to adopt a mechanism different from the above-mentioned drum type display device so that a lot of winning lines can be formed and yet a novel impression can be given to the user of the gaming machine. To provide.

[0006]

The display device according to the present invention comprises:
A plurality of rotary display bodies that are independently rotatable around a common rotation axis of the book, and a rotary drive unit that independently rotates and drives the rotary display bodies. The rotating display body has a display surface formed so as to be substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis and directed to the same side on the rotation axis, and a plurality of images are displayed on the respective display surfaces between the display surfaces. It is formed along a circumferential path centering on the above-mentioned rotation axis while avoiding the overlapping.

In the above display device, the rotary display members may be arranged so as to avoid overlapping with each other at their outer edge portions, and the image may be formed on the outer edge portions. More specifically, each rotary display member can be formed in a disk shape having a different diameter. In this case, the rotary display bodies can be arranged so that the smaller the diameter thereof, the closer to the front side the rotation axis is.

The following can be exemplified as a specific mechanism for realizing the operation of the display device as described above. That is, one end of the rotation shaft that gives the rotation axis is fixed to the side opposite to the surface where the display surface is formed for each rotation display body, and the rotation by the rotation drive unit is transmitted to the other end side of the rotation shaft. A rotation transmission means is provided. And
Of these rotary shafts, at least those other than those arranged at the innermost side are formed in hollow cylindrical shapes having different diameters, and those having a smaller diameter are successively accommodated inside the one having a larger diameter. To do. With this configuration, the drive mechanism for the rotary display body can be made compact.

Next, one or a plurality of image alignment lines can be set along the radial direction of rotation of the rotary display. Then, in a state in which all of the rotary display bodies have stopped rotating, for each rotary display body, any one of the plurality of images is aligned on the image alignment line. . Then, either winning or losing can be made to correspond to a combination of images aligned on the image alignment line. That is, the above-mentioned image matching line can be used as a line (hereinafter, also referred to as a winning line) capable of displaying images of a specific combination corresponding to winning.

Here, each of the rotary display bodies may stop rotating at the same timing. As a result, each image is aligned with the image alignment line at the same time. On the other hand, at least two or more of the rotary display bodies may be stopped at a timing shifted from each other. By doing so, two or more of the images are sequentially aligned with the image alignment line. In this case, when all other than the last one of the rotation display bodies stop rotating, and the combination of images on the image alignment line satisfies the predetermined condition,
The last rotary display can be stopped after reducing or increasing its rotational speed. here,
As the predetermined condition, it is possible to adopt a state in which all the rotary display bodies except the last one display the same image above the image alignment line (hereinafter, also referred to as reach state). .

It is possible to form an image shielding portion that shields a part of the plurality of images formed on the rotary display member but excludes the others. The image shielding unit is, for example,
It can be configured so as to shield other portions of the display surface except the portion corresponding to the image alignment line.

Next, a gaming machine peculiar to the present invention can be constructed by adding the following requirements to the display device. Display device control means: Controls driving of the display device. Activation signal generating means: Generates an activation signal to the display device. Winning determination means: The presence or absence of winning is determined, and the determination result is output to the display device control means. The display device control means receives the activation signal from the activation signal generation means, starts rotation of the rotating display body, determines the combination of images based on the determination result of the winning determination means, and determines the combination of the determined combinations. The rotation stop of each rotary display is controlled so that the images are displayed on the image alignment line.

The gaming machine may be provided with a prize detecting means for detecting a prize and emitting a prize signal.
In this case, the winning determination means receives the winning signal and determines whether or not there is a winning, and the winning signal also serves as an activation signal.

Further, the gaming machine comprises a winning image combination storing means for storing a combination of images corresponding to the winning,
It is possible to adopt a configuration including a defocused image combination storage unit that stores a combination of images corresponding to the defocusing. In this case, the display device control means, based on one of the combinations stored in the winning image combination storage means when the determination result of the winning determination means is winning,
When the determination result is out of alignment, based on one of the combinations stored in the outlying image combination storage means,
The combination of images to be displayed on each image alignment line is determined.

[0015]

According to the display device having the above structure,
The images formed on the respective rotary display bodies are rotated and moved so as to draw concentric circles about the rotation axis.
As a result, it is possible to give the user of the gaming machine a novel impression different from the conventional drum type display device.
Further, since the image formed on the display surface of each rotating display body rotates in a plane substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis, and overlap with images on other display surfaces is avoided,
The number of images that can be viewed at the same time can be increased as compared with the conventional drum type display device. As a result, more image alignment lines (winning lines) can be formed than in the conventional display device, and expectations for winning are increased.

Further, according to the constitution in which the rotations are stopped at the timings where the respective rotary display elements are displaced from each other, it is possible to enjoy the process in which the images are sequentially aligned on the image alignment line. Particularly, according to the configuration in which the last rotary display body is stopped after the rotation speed is decreased or increased, the expectation while waiting for the stop of the image is further enhanced.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which the rotary display members 51 to 53 are formed of transparent or translucent plastic or the like into a disk shape having substantially the same size. As shown in (a) to (c), images 61 to 63 are respectively formed on the rotary display bodies 51 to 53 by printing or the like, and are located on the lower side in the assembled state shown in (d). The image of the rotary display is seen through the upper one. It should be noted that the images 61 to 63 are formed such that the lower one of the rotary display bodies is located closer to the inner side around the rotation axis 50.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 8, the rotary display 5
3 and 52 are formed in flat ring shapes having different diameters, and upper surfaces thereof are display surfaces 53a and 52a. The rotating display body 52 having a small diameter is disposed below and inside the display body 53 having a large diameter, while the rotating display body 51 formed in a disc shape is disposed further below the rotating display body 52. The display surface 51a is located inside the rotary display body 52. And
The rotary display body 51 is configured such that the rotation shaft of the motor 77 is directly connected to the center of the rotary display body 51 and is driven to rotate, while the other rotary display bodies 53 and 52 are provided with a gear portion formed on the outer surface thereof. Gears 79a and 78 meshing with 53b and 52b
a is rotated by being driven by motors 79 and 78, respectively. The rotary display bodies 52 and 53 are supported on the side opposite to the display surfaces 52a and 53a by a base 65 via bearings 52d and 53d embedded therein. Here, the display surfaces 51 a to 53 a of the rotary display bodies 51 to 53 can be covered with the image shielding portion 87. In this embodiment, only one window 88 is formed.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a display device that does not use an image shielding unit. Display surface 51 of the rotating display bodies 51 to 53
The sides a to 53a are covered with a transparent cover plate 92, and a plurality of winning line display lamp portions 91 are radially formed on the plate surface of the cover plate 92. As a result, the plate surface of the cover plate 92 is radially divided into a number of regions equal to the number of the images 61 to 63 formed on the rotary display members 51 to 53, respectively, and the winning line display lamp portions adjacent to each other. All the areas sandwiched by 91 can be used as image alignment lines.

Next, an example of a game machine incorporating the display device of the present invention and its operation will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram schematically showing an example of a gaming machine. The game machine 1 is provided with a start chucker 3 and a display device 4 (for example, shown in FIGS. 1 to 3) of the present invention at a predetermined position on the game board 2, and when a ball is won in the start chucker 3. The rotation display bodies 51 to 53 start to rotate.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the operation control system of the gaming machine 1. This operation control system includes a computer 10 including a CPU 11, a RAM 12, a ROM 13, a clock circuit 15, and the like. Here, the motors 77 to 79 of the display device 4 are connected to the CPU 11 of the computer 10 via the motor drive circuit 41. Further, the rotation sensor 44 for detecting the rotation angles of the rotary display bodies 51 to 53 and aligning the images 61 to 63 with the image alignment lines 88 to 90 (FIG. 1 etc.) is also connected to the CPU 11. . The winning line display lamp section 91 is connected to the CPU 11 via a winning line display lamp driving circuit 91a.
Here, the computer 10 and the motor drive circuit 41 constitute a display device control means.

Further, the random number generation circuit 26 is the computer 1
Connected to 0. Further, a speaker 20 for outputting a winning music or the like is output from a speaker 20 by a start prize sensor 16 provided in the start chucker 3 via a switch detection circuit 17 and a prize count circuit section 18.
Via, the lamp 22 for illumination via the lamp drive circuit 23, and the solenoid 24 for opening and closing the pocket 6 (FIG. 10) provided in the game board 2 via the solenoid drive circuit 25, respectively. It is connected to the computer 10. Here, the start winning sensor 16 and the switch detecting circuit 17 form winning detecting means. Further, the computer 10 forms a winning determination means together with the winning determination program 13a and the gaming machine control program 13c stored in the ROM 13.

As shown in FIG. 12, the random number generation circuit 26
Includes a counter 28 and a random number read register 27, for example. The counter 28 is configured as a ring counter, for example, and continues to count N numerical values upon receiving a predetermined clock. The counter 28 receives the start winning signal from the switch detection circuit 17 and writes the count value at that time into the read register 27. Start checker 3 (Fig. 10, etc.)
There will be balls at random time intervals, so register 28
The count value written in is also random. The read register 28 is configured to store a plurality of count values in the order in which they are input. The read value is sequentially read by the CPU 11 from the leading one and used as a random number value for winning determination.
When one count value is read, the count value stored below shifts and waits until the next read.

On the other hand, the winning count circuit section 18 is shown in FIG.
As shown in, the winning count register 29 and the OR circuit 3
Equipped with 0. When the switch detection circuit 17 outputs a start winning signal, the winning count register 29 counts the start winning signal. When the balls enter the start checker 3 continuously, the count is sequentially incremented, but the count number becomes full at a predetermined value, and in the full state,
Even if a start winning signal is received, further counting up is not performed. The OR circuit 30 outputs “H” to the CPU 11 if at least one start winning signal is counted in the winning count register 29,
"L" is output only when the start winning signal is not counted at all. Further, the count number of the winning count register 29 is 1 in response to a signal from the CPU 11.
Decrement by one.

Returning to FIG. 11, the ROM 13 stores the following programs and data. Winning determination program 13a: winning count register 2
If the winning signal is counted in 9, it is determined whether the winning or losing. Winning number table 13b: 1 or more winning numbers are included. Gaming machine control program 13c: When the winning signal is counted in the winning count register 29, a signal is sent to the motor drive circuit 41 to start the rotation of each of the rotary display bodies 51 to 53, and the winning and losing determination results are obtained. The image combination is determined based on the image combination lines 84 to 86.
The rotation display units 51 to 53 are controlled so that a predetermined image is aligned with (FIG. 1), and the game machine 1 is caused to perform a predetermined operation based on whether or not there is a win. Winning image combination table 13e: Contains combination data of images to be displayed on the image matching line at the time of winning. Out-of-focus image combination table 13f: Contains combined data of images to be displayed on the image alignment line when out of contact. Winning line random number table 13g: includes a random number value for determining an image alignment line on which an image of a specific combination should be displayed at the time of winning (or at the time of departure from the reach state).

The flow of processing by the winning determination program 13a will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step S1 (hereinafter, simply referred to as S1 and the like), it is confirmed whether or not the winning count register 29 (FIG. 12) counts the winning signal. If Yes, in S2, the read register 27 of the random number generation circuit 26 is read. The count value (random number) is read from. Next, in S3, the winning number table 13
The winning number is read from b, and the random number is compared in S4. If the numbers match, the winning determination result is output, and if they do not match, the determination result is output (S5, S6). This determination result is sequentially sent to and stored in the determination memory 12a (FIG. 11) provided in the RAM 12 (S9), but if there is no free area in the determination memory 12a, the already stored determination is performed. The result is shifted to forcibly form a free area, and the next determination result is stored there (S7, S8). The determination results stored in the determination memory 12a are sequentially read from the first one based on a request from the gaming machine control program 13c, which will be described later, and when read, the determination memory 12a is shifted (S1
0, S11). Then, in S12, the count number of the winning count register 29 is decremented by 1, the process returns to S1, and the same process is repeated thereafter. If the end signal is detected in S13, the process ends.

Next, the flow of processing by the gaming machine control program 13c will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. First, in step S21 of FIG. 14, the winning count register 29 is read and S22
If the winning signal is counted in the register 29, a signal is sent to each motor drive circuit 41 (FIG. 11) to start the rotation of the rotary display bodies 51 to 53, and the rotation is continued for a predetermined time. Next, in S25, the determination memory 12
One of the determination results stored in a is read, and it is determined whether or not the determination result is a win. Here, since the flow of the following processing differs depending on whether the read determination result is a win or a failure, they will be described separately for each case.

First, in the case where the determination result is winning, S2
6, one of the random numbers stored in the winning line random number table 13g is randomly read, and the image alignment line 84 of the display device 4 is read based on the read random number value.
˜86 (FIG. 1, etc.) to which to align the image.
Subsequently, in S27, the combination of images to be aligned is read from the winning image combination table 13e. And in FIG.
In S28, two of the rotary display bodies 51 to 53 are arranged so that two images of the same type are aligned on the determined image alignment line (for example, 53 and 52 whose display surfaces are located inside in FIG. 1). 4) are sequentially stopped to form a reach state (see FIG. 4B).

When the reach state is formed, a signal is sent to the speaker drive circuit 21 and the winning line display lamp drive circuit 91a (FIG. 11) in S29. This allows
A reach sound is transmitted from the speaker 20, and the corresponding winning line display lamp section 91 blinks to notify the line that has reached the reach state. In addition, the rotation speed of the remaining rotary display body (51 in FIG. 4B) is reduced,
The expectation for winning is raised (S30). Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time in this state, the rotation of the rotary display body 51 is stopped to create a state in which a predetermined image is aligned on the line (S31), and in S32, a predetermined amount is given to the gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. The winning action of is performed. For example, the pocket open signal is output to the solenoid drive circuit 25, and the solenoid 2
4 (FIG. 11) is operated to open the pocket 6 a predetermined number of times, the illumination lamp 22 is turned on, and the winning music is transmitted from the speaker 20 to celebrate the winning. When the above winning operation is completed, the process returns to S1 of FIG. 13 and is repeated.

Next, in the case where the judgment result is out of order,
First, in S34 of FIG. 14, one of the combinations of outlying images set in the outlying image combination table 13f is read. Here, the combination of the read out-of-focus images is divided into two types: a case where the reach state is reached after the reach state is formed on a specific line, and a case where the reach state is reached without forming the reach state. It is determined which of these cases applies. Then, when the reach state is not formed, the process proceeds to S37 in FIG. 16, the rotation display bodies 51 to 53 are sequentially stopped, the combination of images in the out-of-range state is displayed, and then the process returns to S21 in FIG. On the other hand, in the case of passing through the reach state, the process proceeds to S38 in FIG. And S
The processing in each step of 38 to S41 is almost the same as the processing (S28 to S31) corresponding to the reach state at the time of winning,
The difference is that the image displayed on the image alignment line by the rotary display that finally stops on the winning line,
This is a point that does not match the two images of the rotating display body that have already stopped. When the image stops, the reach state process is canceled in S42, and the process returns to S21 in FIG.

The gaming machine to which the display device of the present invention can be applied is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine, but is applied to various gaming machines such as a slot machine that displays the presence or absence of winning based on a combination of a plurality of images. be able to.
