Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a pachinko machine equipped with an electrically variable display.

(Prior Art) The above-mentioned pachinko machine generally includes a plurality of light emitting parts arranged in a predetermined manner so that the electrically variable display can form a plurality of types of identification information, and the electrically variable display The device sequentially variably displays the plurality of types of identification information, and stops the variably displayed at a predetermined timing, that is, when the player operates a stop command or when the timer times out, and the fC identification information stops and the fC identification information is displayed as a specific identification. When it is information, the game board is set in a state where it is easy for pachinko balls to win.

According to this type of pachinko machine, since game operations other than hitting the ball are involved, the fun of the game can be further doubled, and the idea is that the player can predict by intuition which identification information will stop the variable display. The player can enjoy the target game, and since the probability of winning a prize is increased depending on the type of identification information, it is possible to give the player a thrill different from winning a prize by hitting a ball.

By the way, in this model, the appearance rate of specific identification information is
From the perspective of eliminating gambling, it is necessary to limit the amount of information to a certain extent, and for this reason, in the past, the number of types of specific identification information has been reduced.

However, this was an undesirable measure in the sense that it gave the player the impression that it was difficult to provide specific identification information and that it was difficult to win the prize ball, reducing his or her desire to play.

Therefore, in order to increase the number of types of specific identification information, we have added a display in addition to the electrically variable display to add judgment conditions, or we have decided to increase the number of types of specific identification information. It has been considered to add a computer control system to control its appearance so that it can be suppressed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, if such a front blade type is adopted, in the former case,
The overall display structure on the game board becomes complicated, and in the latter case, the control system becomes complicated.

In addition, although this type of pachinko machine is interesting in terms of changes in game play, there is a problem in that due to the change in game play, there is a lack of design on the game board surface, making it difficult to fully appeal to the players. In addition, since the player plays the game while paying attention to the constantly changing display, there is also the problem of eye fatigue for the player.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a control system for controlling the appearance rate of specific identification information. It is possible to increase the types of specific identification information without the need for a system and increase fc, and it is also possible to improve the design performance that accompanies the gameplay, and to reduce eye fatigue for players. It is possible to provide pachinko machines.

(Measures to Solve the Problem) Therefore, the present invention includes an electrically variable display including a large number of light emitting parts arranged in a predetermined manner so as to form a plurality of types of identification information,
Sequentially variably displaying the plurality of types of identification information using the electrically variable display, and stopping the variation of the display at a predetermined timing, when the stopped identification information is specific identification information, A pachinko machine that makes it easy for pachinko balls to win on a game board, characterized in that the display colors of the plurality of light emitting parts can be switched.

(Function) With this configuration, it is possible to increase the types of identification information by combining the change in display color with the change in display mode made up of the arrangement of a plurality of light emitting parts, and thereby maintain a predetermined appearance rate. It becomes possible to increase the types of specific identification information while maintaining the number of identification information.

For example, it is possible to change the display color depending on the state of the game, such as when specific identification information appears or when the probability of winning is increasing, and the color of the display becomes more colorful and the design becomes more appealing. At the same time, by adding game changes, it becomes possible to make the changes easier to understand for the players, and depending on the selection of display colors, it can reduce eye fatigue for the players. You can also aim for

The gate 93 will be closed even if it is before.

While opening the gate 93 jackpot, #! When a detection signal is output from the ribbon detection switch 125, the gate 93 will be opened again. And the number of repetitions is 1
The jackpot release operation ends when the number of times is 0.

During the above period, when pachinko balls are won in the winning holes 26' to 28, the winnings are stored in the RAM and made valid, for example, up to four balls.

First, since the LED displays 61 to 63 are normally displayed in green, this is effective in preventing player's eye fatigue. Moreover, this is an extremely large advantage since the LED indicators 61 to 63 are made considerably larger than conventional ones.

Furthermore, since the segments 81 to S and dots d in the KSLED displays 61 to 63 are equipped with light emitting diodes 77 and 78 that emit light in different colors, each segment S, to S and dot d are Together with the large size, the design effect can be significantly improved.

Then, using this, L
Since the display colors of the ED displays 61 to 63 are changed, when game changes are added, the changes can be easily understood by the players.

In the embodiment described above, only the LED displays 61 to 63 are configured to display in two colors; however, other indicators 67, 71, 72, etc. may also be configured to display in two colors. It is.

For example, regarding the display 72, if there is no memory of the starting winning ball, it will emit red light, and every time the starting winning ball is remembered, it may be switched to green. It may be kept constant and normally displayed in green, and may be changed to red depending on the start detection switches 44', 8B', and 89'.

~Q6, and these outputs Q1~Q6 are amplified by the driver 206, and the outputs Q1~Q6 are output to each digit (name display 61).
~63) diodes 77.781C for each color are input.

Therefore, in this circuit configuration, for example, the driver 2
04 of 08.0. If is H, LED 8. -77 and 8
．． -77 or IED8. -78 and 8. -78 will emit light, so the LED indicators 61 to 6
3 will be displayed as "1", so if the input Do-D to the latch 203 changes, the displayed number will change. For example, the driver 20
If the output 01 of 6 is H, the LBD of the LED display 61
Since any one of Sl-77 to Sl-77 to Sl-77 emits light and the display turns red, when the input to latch 205 changes to ~D6, the displayed digit and color change.

Here, a function is added to the CPU 126 to determine identification information by combining a three-digit number with a color, thereby increasing the types of identification information with the color also forming part of the identification information.

In other words, if there are only 3 digits, each digit is "0-9".
Even if all numbers are used, there will be 1000 types of identification information. However, if two colors are used, for example, the types of identification information can be increased eight times that amount to 8,000 types.

As a result, the types of specific identification information can be increased while maintaining a constant appearance rate.

For example, the CPU 126 sequentially changes the BCD signals for the LED indicators 61 to 63 to
Identification information is displayed on the D displays 61 to 63 in the following arrangement and variable time.

The LED display 61 is "001 1 223355778899舒)@atoki)
Wataru）Wataru×Green〕Wataru×Green）□□□■）Wataru）Wataru〕Cast）(To)
”, the lighting fluctuation time is set to 16.384 msec, and the LED
The display 62 sets the lighting variation time to 24.576 msec in the order of and sets the lighting variation time to 2 (L480 msec) in the order of .

In this display, there are 4096 types of identification information.

When the fluctuating display stops at, for example, the following 16 types of identification information, the CPU 126 determines that it is specific identification information. That is, 5-5 7-7-7 8-8-8 9-9-9 (all red) 5-5 7-7-7 8-8-8 9-9-9 (all green).

FIG. 15 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.

The feature of this embodiment is that two color LEDs are lit at the same time.
The reason is that an intermediate color is added to the two primary colors, making it possible to display three colors.

In this figure, 207 is a circuit that controls the lighting, and this lighting control circuit 207 is connected to the OR gates 208 to 21.
It consists of 0 and AND gate 211, and the name display digit (
A husband and a wife are provided for each of the display devices 61 to 63), and three display devices are installed in parallel. In the figure, only the CED display 61 is shown.

In this case, Do, D, , D, are red, D, , D
8. D, is green, J) a is intermediate color control, and has each data.

The output of latch 205 is 0o, 0. ,0. is passed through OR gate 208 to driver 2060 input 11. I, ,
I, Tonataku, same output 01.08.0. is or gate 20
The driver 2060 inputs I, , I through 9. z I
It becomes 8. The output of mano latch 205 is 00~0. enters OR Gate 210, and through this becomes AND Gate 211's sole power. Output 06 of latch 205 becomes the other input of this AND gate 211. The output of the AND gate 211 becomes the input of the OR game) 208 and 209.

According to this configuration, the outputs of the latch 205 are Oo and 02.

When only 04 is H, the output of the AND gate 211 is L, so only the output of the OR gate 208 is H, and the red display is displayed.On the contrary, the output of the latch 205 is O1゜08.0. When only the output of the OR gate 209 is H, only the output of the OR gate 209 becomes H, and the display becomes green. Then, the output Oo of the latte 205 is 0
2.046 or the same output 01.0. .

0 is H and the same output 06 is H, the output of the AND gate 211 becomes H, and both OR gates 208.20
The output of 9 becomes H, and an intermediate color between red and green is displayed.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, the display colors of the plurality of light emitting parts of the electrically variable display are configured to be switchable, so that the display mode consisting of the arrangement of the plurality of light emitting parts can be changed. In combination with the change in display color, the types of identification information can be increased, and accordingly, it is possible to increase the types of specific identification information while maintaining a predetermined appearance rate.

In addition, it is now possible to change the display color depending on the game status at that time, such as when specific identification information appears or when the winning probability is increasing, which adds a gorgeous look and improves the design. This has the effect of being able to achieve this.

Furthermore, since the display color can be changed depending on the state of the game, when game changes are added, the changes can be easily understood by the players.

Furthermore, there is an advantage that the player's eye fatigue can be prevented by selecting the display color.
