Also, in accordance with the movement of the minute hand 9 which is substantially the same as the movement of the second hand of the analog clock, the musical scales do, si, la, so, fa, mi, le, do,
The generation of the sound of "do", "do" and "do" further increases the degree of excitement.

As described above, the center display device 1 of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment changes the display content in conjunction with the win of the pachinko ball to the start chucker, and changes the specific number,
A picture display section 2 that indicates a hit depending on a display state of a picture or the like;
An analog timepiece is provided with an hour hand, minute hand-shaped hour hand 8 and minute hand 9, and a reach action auxiliary display section 6 which expresses the reach action in parallel with the display state of the picture display section 2 indicating the reach action. The display part which constitutes a part of numbers, pictures, etc. provided in the picture display part 2 is a middle display part 4 having a regular hexagonal prism, and is disposed with the middle display part 4 interposed therebetween. Unit 3 and right display unit 5
It is composed of Each of these three display units is capable of displaying numbers on the side surface, by turning the side surface toward the front, and the numbers displayed on the display surfaces of all display units match with the same number Display hits. The left display unit 3 and the right display unit 5 are designed to display a picture other than a number on the side face, and the end face of the middle display unit 4 is also provided with a picture displayed on the left display unit 3 and the right display unit 5. Is displayed. The symbols displayed on the display surfaces of these three display units also constitute a single symbol, thereby indicating a hit.

Therefore, the center display device 1 of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment performs the reach action for expecting a hit not only by the movement of the picture display unit 2 but also by the movement of the hour hand and minute hand 8 and minute hand 9 of the analog timepiece. Is also expressed, so that the player who plays the game can more clearly recognize the reach action, and can increase the expectation of winning.

Further, since the left display unit 3 and the right display unit 5 are equilateral triangular prisms, the middle display unit 4 is a regular hexagonal prism, and the movement of the picture display unit 2 looks three-dimensional, the fine movement of the picture display unit 2 can be reduced. Can be caught.

Further, the end surface of the regular hexagonal prism is different from the shape of one side surface, and the display surface of the middle display portion 4 for displaying numbers, pictures, and the like is usually the side surface of the regular hexagonal prism and is in a state of reach by the picture showing the four seasons. Since the end face of the regular hexagonal prism is reached when the state changes from the hit state to the hit state, the shape of the display surface is changed, the display of the hit becomes clearer, and the degree of excitement in the hit state increases.

By the way, in the above description, the hit state indicated by the picture display section 2 is common to all the display surfaces of the three display sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10,1
When one of the twelve numbers of 1, 12 is aligned, a hit is displayed, and when the pattern displayed on the display surface of the three display units constitutes one of the patterns representing the four seasons as a whole The hit display is also provided, but the hit display is not necessarily limited to these numbers and patterns, and may be expressed by other numbers, characters, patterns, and the like.

In the above description, each display surface of the left display unit 3 and the right display unit 5 has a side surface of a regular triangular prism, and a display surface of the middle display unit 4 has a side surface and an end surface of a regular hexagonal prism. Each display surface of one display unit does not necessarily need to be a side surface or an end surface of a regular triangular prism or a regular hexagonal prism, and may be a side surface or an end surface of another regular polygonal prism. Even if the respective display surfaces of these three display units are the side surfaces or end surfaces of other regular polygonal prisms, the movement of the picture display unit 2 looks three-dimensional, so that the fine movement of the picture display unit 2 can be captured. . In particular, at least one of the display surfaces of each display unit is usually a side surface of a regular polygonal prism, and the end surface of the regular polygonal prism from a reach state to a hit display state is defined as an end surface of the regular polygonal prism. Since the change is given, the display of the hit is more clear and the degree of excitement in the hit state is increased.

However, the regular hexagonal prism has the least number of side surfaces among the regular polygonal prisms whose opposing side surfaces are parallel and, when viewed from one side surface, can be seen from both sides sandwiching the side surface. Due to the shape, the central display part 4 of the three display parts is made to be a regular hexagonal prism, so that it looks three-dimensional when viewed from the side, and the left display part 3 on both sides when viewed from the end face. The combination with the display unit 4 is preferable because a continuous surface can be formed as a whole.

Further, in the above description, the hits are displayed on the display surfaces of the three display portions. However, it is not always necessary to display the hits on the display surfaces of the three display portions. Even if the hitting is displayed on the display surface, the same effect can be obtained.

In the above description, the reach action auxiliary display section 6 is linked only to the middle display section 4 located at the center of the three display sections. The reach action assisting display unit 6 may be linked to two of which two are aligned with predetermined numbers, characters, patterns, etc., and finally, only one number, characters, patterns, etc. are not determined. In particular, the hour hand 8 and the minute hand 9 may be displayed simultaneously with the start of the reach action, but may be always displayed as they were when the previous reach action was completed. In the case where the hour hand 8 and the minute hand 9 are always displayed,
The hour hand 8 and the minute hand 9 are not necessarily displayed as a part of the image, but may be hour and minute hands of a mechanical analog clock.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing a picture display section of the center display device of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals and symbols as those in the first embodiment denote the same or corresponding parts as in the first embodiment.
