  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having at least a symbol display device and a push-off member, and in particular, a gaming machine configured so that an effective presentation can be provided to a player when a reach occurs, a reach loses, or a big hit occurs. About.

In a general pachinko machine, when a player operates a launch handle provided below the game board and the launched game ball wins the start of the game board, a liquid crystal display (LCD) in the center of the game board is displayed. ) And a symbol display screen of a symbol display device such as a plasma display (for example, display symbols in the left and right middle columns) are variably displayed. In addition, when the start condition is established along with the winning at the start port, a big win lottery is performed in the main control device.
When the lottery result is a “hit”, the display design that has started the above-mentioned variation is, for example, a reach notice effect, a reach effect, a jackpot notice effect, etc. Is going. On the other hand, when the lottery result is “losing”, the change is stopped by the lost symbol through the reach notice effect and the reach effect (or without performing these effects). In addition, when the fluctuation is stopped by the jackpot symbol, it becomes a jackpot state, the big winning opening of the game board is intermittently released over a predetermined number of rounds so that a large number of gaming balls can be won, and a large number of winning balls are paid to the tray. The bonus will be given to the player.

By the way, the display on the display device becomes monotonous only by the effect due to the symbol variation and the stop, and the player gets bored of watching the symbol display screen of the display device. Therefore, some conventional pachinko gaming machines have a movable body as an accessory disposed on the front side (player side) of the display device (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This movable body is movable at the front position of the symbol display screen of the display device, and by linking the movement of the movable body and the screen effect of the display device, not only the variation of the symbol but also the movement of the movable body is added. When performing various performances, the player's expectation and joy can be raised to some extent.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the control processing of the display control board according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 9 is the control of the movable body control board according to the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a table chart showing the display contents of the display device and the movement of the movable body according to the variation pattern.
In the present embodiment, the push-out member of the present invention is expressed as a movable body. However, the portion where the display body of the symbol display device is fixed is moved, and the display body is pushed by the fixed movable body. It also includes an expanded configuration.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is provided in a game board 6 having a game area in which a game ball can roll and a game area of the game board 6 so that a game ball can be won. A start winning opening 2, a large winning opening (variable winning opening) 3 that is provided in the game area of the game board 6, and can be switched between a closed state in which game balls cannot be won and an open state in which game balls can be won; A jackpot lottery means (not shown) for determining whether or not to open the jackpot 3 based on the fact that the game ball wins the starting prize slot 2 and a jackpot lottery means for judging whether or not to open the jackpot 3 will be a jackpot Is determined to have a jackpot game means (not shown) for performing a jackpot game that opens the jackpot 3. In the game area of the game board 6, a windmill 1, an out port 4, a guide rail 5, a game nail (not shown), and the like are arranged at predetermined positions.
In addition, on such a game board 6, a function for notifying the player of the result of the jackpot lottery and / or an effect is notified to the player during the course until the result of the jackpot lottery is notified (notice display) And a display device (LCD) 7 having a function of displaying a game state and the like. A movable body 8 is provided on the rear side of the symbol display device 7 as an accessory that moves as described later.

As shown in FIG. 1, the symbol display device 7 includes a symbol display screen 9 that displays special symbols (for example, symbols, alphanumeric characters, symbols, etc.) and decorative symbols as images. For example, the symbol starts to fluctuate when a game ball enters the start winning opening 2 and stops after a predetermined time has elapsed.
In addition, the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7 has a plurality of symbols (four in this embodiment, but one if it is provided with a warm-shaped one with only the upper side fixed or a slit or the like. Alternatively, two, three, or five or more display bodies 9a) may be combined. These four display bodies 9a are formed using a paper-like resin plate (for example, electronic paper) having flexibility that can be flexibly deformed and having a strength that can withstand a predetermined number of uses. Has been. In each display body 9a, a part of the outer edge located on the outer peripheral side of the symbol display screen 9 indicated by a double line in FIG. 1 is fixed (may be fixed in a dotted line or fixed in a straight line) 1), the other joints indicated by cross lines in FIG. 1 are installed as free ends (unfixed parts) that are not fixed.
Furthermore, when the display body 9a is not pushed away by the movable body 8, the display body 9a is configured to be able to maintain a certain shape by its elasticity. Or you may make it the display body 9a maintain a fixed shape by providing the member which supports the display body 9a.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the movable body 8 is movable so as to push open the display body 9 a of the symbol display screen 9 and jump out to the front of the symbol display device 7. For this reason, the movable body 8 is disposed in the central portion of the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7 and at a rear position corresponding to the free end portion of the joint that is not fixed to each display body 9a. The movable body 8 includes an effect member (decoration part) 10 that imitates various characters and the like, and a protective cover 11 that accommodates the effect member 10 therein, and the effect member 10 and the protective cover 11 are integrated. It is designed to move.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the protective cover 11 is formed using a transparent container so that the effect member 10 inside can be seen from the outside. Of the protective cover 11, the front surface portion 11 a that contacts the display body 9 a of the symbol display screen 9 is capable of smoothly pressing each display body 9 a at the tip when moving toward the symbol display screen 9. It is formed in a circular arc shape that protrudes toward the symbol display screen 9. However, as long as the front surface portion 11a is formed in a tapered shape toward the front of the display body 9a, the front surface portion 11a may be formed not only in a curve as in the present embodiment but also in a shape combining straight lines and arcs. .
In addition, a portion of the protective cover 11 that is located behind the front surface portion 11a having a circular arc cross section and is located inside the outer edge that is visible by projecting the front surface portion 11a from the front, is deformed by the movable body 8. A storage portion 11b for storing a part of the body 9a is provided. The storage portion 11b is formed and extends in a tapered inclined surface toward the rear of the symbol display device 7, and the inclination angle of each display on the symbol display screen 9 is determined by the tapered inclined surface of the movable body 8. The size is set such that the body 9a can be further expanded.
In the present embodiment, the effect member 10 is provided as a decorative portion, but the decorative portion may have a picture drawn on the inner peripheral surface or the outer peripheral surface of the protective cover 11. In addition, the decoration unit may be provided with a display device.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the movable body 8 moves in the front-rear direction with respect to the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7 by receiving the power generated by the motor 12 through the power transmission mechanism. Each display body 9a is pushed out from the next portion, which is the end portion, so as to jump out from the symbol display screen 9 to the player side or to be retracted to the opposite side to the player. For this reason, the movable body 8 reciprocates by fixing the rear surface portion 11c of the protective cover 11 to the front end of the rack 13 of the power transmission mechanism and fixing the pinion 14 meshing with the rack 13 to the rotating shaft 12a of the motor 12. It is configured to be movable. The rotation and stop of the motor 12 are controlled by a sub-control board and a movable body control board, which will be described later. As a result, the movement of the movable body 8 includes the amount of protrusion from the symbol display screen 9 and the like. And it is controlled by the movable body control board.
That is, the movable body 8 arranged behind the symbol display screen 9 is, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), in the predetermined presentation pattern described later, first toward the front on the symbol display device 7 side. 9 is moved to a position where it comes into contact with the back surface of 9. Subsequently, when the movable body 8 is moved further forward, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the front surface portion 11a pushes and opens each display body 9a on the symbol display screen 9, and at the next of each display body 9a. Certain free ends are separated from each other. Thereafter, when the movable body 8 is moved further forward, as shown in FIG. 4C, each display body 9a of the symbol display screen 9 is shown in FIG. 4B by the tapered inclined surface of the storage portion 11b. While being swung in the vertical and horizontal directions further than in the state shown, it is pushed open from the horizontal position and fully opened, and the movable body 8 jumps out of the symbol display screen 9 and stops. Thereby, the player can see the effect member 10 in the protective cover 11, and the player has a sense of expectation such as a jackpot. When returning to the original position, the movable body 8 is moved in the reverse procedure.
Instead of the motor 12, another drive source (for example, a solenoid) may be used. Further, instead of the rack 13 and the pinion 14, another power transmission mechanism (for example, a belt, a chain, or the like) may be used. Further, the display body 9a and the movable body 8 move relative to each other, so that the movable body 8 pushes the display body 9a open and protrudes to the front side of the display body 9a. It is preferable that the front end portion protrudes forward from the outer edge portion (edge portion) visible by projecting the front surface portion 11a of the protective cover 11 from the front. If the movable body 8 is moved so that the tip portion comes behind the front surface portion 11a, the tip portion may be caught by the edge portion of the front surface portion 11a when the movable body 8 is retracted. If it is wound in this way, even if the display body 9a and the movable body 8 are moved to a position away from each other, the movable body 8 remains visible without the display body 9a returning to its original state. However, when the movable body 8 is retracted in a state where the distal end portion of the non-fixed portion of the display body 9a that is pushed open protrudes forward from the front surface portion 11a, the distal end portion is less likely to be caught on the edge portion of the front surface portion 11a, and is caught. Less likely.

Next, various control boards provided in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the control board of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment mainly includes a main control board 100 that realizes pachinko gaming by the pachinko gaming machine, and a control signal sent from the main control board 100. From the sub-control board 200, the control signal sent from the sub-control board 200, the display control board 300 for displaying the symbol on the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7, and the sub-control board 200 A movable body control board 400 that receives the transmitted control signal and controls the movement of the movable body 8 is provided. Note that the display control board 300 and the movable body control board 400 can be controlled in conjunction with the symbol variation on the symbol display screen 9 and the movement of the movable body 8 via the sub-control board 200. Yes.

In the control flow of the main control board 100, as shown in FIG. 6, it is first determined whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning opening 2 (see FIG. 1) (step S1). If it is determined that a game ball has entered the start winning opening 2 (YES), the next jackpot lottery is performed (step S2). If it is determined in step S1 that no game ball has entered the start winning opening 2 (NO), the control flow of the main control board 100 is terminated without doing anything.
Next, a later-described variation pattern corresponding to the result of the jackpot lottery in step S2 is selected (step S3), and a later-described stop symbol is selected (step S4). Thereafter, these fluctuation patterns and stop symbols are transmitted to the sub control board 200 (step 5), and the control flow of the main control board 100 is terminated.

In the control flow of the sub control board 200, as shown in FIG. 7, it is first determined whether or not a control signal is received from the main control board 100 (step S11). If it is determined that a control signal has been received from the main control board 100 (YES), an effect selection counter value (described later) is acquired (step S12). If it is determined in step S11 that a control signal has not been received from the main control board 100 (NO), the control flow of the sub control board 200 is terminated without doing anything.
Next, a later-described effect pattern is selected from the variation pattern transmitted from the main control board 100 and the effect selection counter value in step S12 with reference to the table chart of FIG. 10 (step S13). Thereafter, the effect pattern and the stop symbol are transmitted to the display control board 300 (step S14), and the effect pattern is transmitted to the movable body control board 400 (step 15), and the control flow of the sub control board 200 is ended.

On the other hand, in the control flow of the display control board 300, as shown in FIG. 8, it is first determined whether or not a control signal is received from the sub-control board 200 (step S21). If it is determined that a control signal has been received from the sub control board 200 (YES), display is performed in accordance with the selected effect pattern and stop symbol (step S22), and the control flow of the display control board 300 is terminated. . If it is determined in step S21 that the control signal has not been received from the sub control board 200 (NO), the control flow of the display control board 300 is terminated without doing anything.
In the control flow of the movable body control board 400, as shown in FIG. 9, it is first determined whether or not a control signal has been received from the sub-control board 200 (step S31). If it is determined that the control signal is received from the sub control board 200 (YES), the movable body 8 is moved in accordance with the selected effect pattern (step S32), and the control flow of the movable body control board 400 is ended. Let If it is determined in step S31 that the control signal has not been received from the sub control board 200 (NO), the control flow of the movable body control board 400 is terminated without doing anything.

Next, referring to FIG. 10, it is determined according to the variation pattern, the effect selection counter value, and the effect pattern sent from the main control board 100 and the sub control board 200 to the display control board 300 and the movable body control board 400. The display content of the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7 and the movement of the movable body 8 will be described. Here, the display content of the symbol display screen 9 and the movement of the movable body 8 are controlled separately and linked to each other in time, but are not controlled separately but controlled by one CPU. May be. Furthermore, although it is a separate control, a link may be established by performing bidirectional communication.
In addition, the downward arrow described in “Display contents + Movement of movable body” in FIG. 10 indicates fluctuations in three symbol groups (left symbol, middle symbol, right symbol), and “stop” indicates symbol stop. “◎” indicates that the movable body 8 pops out. The effect selection counter value is set in a range of 0 to 99, for example. Further, “reach” means a state in which other symbols are identical except for the remaining symbols that are still changing.

(1) When the sub control board 200 receives the variation pattern 1 from the main control board 100 and acquires the effect selection counter value 60 at the timing when the variation pattern 1 is received, the sub control board 200 displays the table chart of FIG. The effect pattern 1-A is determined based on the above, the determined effect pattern and the stop pattern are transmitted to the display control board 300, and the determined effect pattern is transmitted to the movable body control board 400.
When the display control board 300 receives the effect pattern 1-A, the display content corresponding to the effect pattern 1-A is “The symbol change starts, the left symbol stops after 2 seconds, and the right symbol stops after 4 seconds. , Stop the middle symbol after 6 seconds ”(the number of seconds for which the symbol is stopped is an example), and according to that information, the symbol variation starts first, the left symbol stops after 2 seconds, and then The right symbol is stopped after 4 seconds. At this time, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped in a state where they do not match. After that, the middle symbol is stopped after 6 seconds. Since the left symbol and the right symbol do not match, the player is notified of complete loss.
When the movable body control board 400 receives the effect pattern 1-A, the movable body control board 400 has the information “does not move” as the movement corresponding to the effect pattern 1-A.
(2) When the sub control board 200 receives the variation pattern 2 from the main control board 100 and acquires the effect selection counter value 80 at the timing when the variation pattern 2 is received, the sub control board 200 displays the table chart of FIG. The effect pattern 2-B is determined based on the above, the determined effect pattern and the stop pattern are transmitted to the display control board 300, and the determined effect pattern is transmitted to the movable body control board 400.
When the display control board 300 receives the effect pattern 2-B, the display content corresponding to the effect pattern 2-B is “Start symbol change, stop the left symbol after 3 seconds, and stop the right symbol after 6 seconds. , Stop the middle symbol after 12 seconds "(the number of seconds for which the symbol is stopped is an example), and according to that information, the symbol variation starts first, the left symbol stops after 3 seconds, and then The right symbol is stopped after 6 seconds. At this time, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped in a matching state. Thereafter, the middle symbol different from the left symbol and the right symbol is stopped after 12 seconds. Since the middle symbol does not match the left symbol and the right symbol, the player is notified as reach lose.
When the movable body control board 400 receives the effect pattern 2-B, the movement corresponding to the effect pattern 2-B is “6 seconds later the movable body 8 jumps out of the symbol display device 7 and 8 seconds later the movable body. Since the movable body 8 does not move until 6 seconds have passed, the movable body 8 is stopped without moving until the 6 seconds have elapsed, and the movable body 8 is moved to the front of the symbol display device 7. Control is performed so that the movable body 8 is moved and stored behind the symbol display device 7 when 8 seconds have elapsed.

Similarly to the above, the sub control board 200 determines the effect pattern based on the table chart of FIG. 10 from the change pattern received from the main control board 100 and the effect selection counter value acquired at the timing of receiving the change pattern. The display control board 300 and the movable body control board 400 perform the display control and the movable body control according to the effect pattern determined by the sub-control board 200, so that the movable body 8 moves or the reach loss pattern is stopped after the start of the pattern change. The player is informed that the movable body 8 will move later and the combination of jackpot symbols will be displayed, or that the movable body 8 will move and stop and display the symbols at the probability variation after the symbols stop at the uncertain variation. It becomes possible to do.
In addition, such display content and the movement of the movable body 8 are based on a part (patterns 1 to 7) of a large number of variation patterns, and are not limited to this, and various symbol variations and stop symbols. The movable body 8 can be moved at various timings. In addition, the movable body 8 can change not only the movement of popping out or retracting but also the distance of movement.

In the pachinko gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention, when a game ball is launched on the game board 6 by operation of a launch handle outside the figure and enters the start winning slot 2 shown in FIG. Depending on the effect pattern, the movable body 8 that is arranged behind the symbol display screen 9 and is not visible, such as in conjunction with the symbol variation stop symbol displayed on the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7, is displayed on each display. The body 9a is spread and moved so as to jump out from the symbol display screen 9 to the player side, and appears in front of the symbol display screen 9.
Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, even if the hidden movable body 8 suddenly emerges from the symbol display screen 9, the player will not miss it, and the movable body 8 with respect to the viewing display screen 9 will not be missed. Unexpected movements will give players a strong impact without getting bored. Accordingly, a large number of various contents of the production having a higher impact than the gaming machine having the conventional movable body can be made by the movement of the movable body 8 and the display contents of the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7. The effect can be further improved.
By the way, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, since the movable body protrudes from the top, bottom, left and right of the display device, it is necessary to provide a non-game area corresponding to the size of the display device and the size of the movable body. However, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the movable body 8 is arranged on the rear side of the symbol display device 7, the non-game area can be reduced by the area where the movable body is arranged. As a result, the game area can be expanded more than the conventional one.

  While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the movable body 8 is disposed on the rear side of the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7, and the movable body 8 is displayed on each display body 9 a on the symbol display screen 9 at a predetermined production pattern. As shown in FIG. 11, a small display screen 19 is provided at another position separately from the symbol display screen 9 of the symbol display device 7. Alternatively, the small movable body 8 may be arranged on the rear side of the display screen 19 so that the small movable body 8 pushes open each display body 19a of the display screen 19 and jumps out to the front of the display screen 19. Although this display screen 19 is small, it is composed of four display bodies 19 a similar to the symbol display screen 9. The display screen 19 may display a notice or display the current game state.
The shape of the protective cover 11 of the movable body 8 is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, and a protective cover formed in another shape may be used as long as the movable body 8 moves smoothly.
Furthermore, the display body 9a of the symbol display device 7 in the above-described embodiment is moved to the movable body 8, and the movable body 8 is brought into a fixed state so that the display body 9a comes into contact with the movable body 8. Alternatively, the non-fixed portion of the display body 9a may be expanded by the movable body 8 so that the movable body 8 jumps out of the non-fixed portion of the display body 9a. In this case, the drive mechanism that moves the portion where the display body 9a is fixed to the movable body 8 side can be realized by using the mechanism described above.
