DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine having a display device capable of displaying an image three-dimensionally.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a variable display device for variably displaying a symbol is provided, and a bonus such as a big hit is given to a player by a combination of symbols when the variably displayed symbol stops. Is configured to enhance the interest of the game.

[0003] As described above, the variable display device in the gaming machine is recognized as a component that determines the magnitude of the profit of the game result, rather than a component for simply performing a symbol matching game that is a part of the game. This is the most watched thing for the player.

In general, a variable display device has a display in which light emitting diodes (LEDs) are arranged vertically and horizontally, a liquid crystal display (L).
Displays such as CDs and cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are used, and the symbols displayed on these displays are not only figures but also characters such as animals and cartoons. Various effects such as capturing and displaying are performed. Then, the game in the variable display device is started on condition that the game ball wins the starting port, and is sequentially stopped after a predetermined time elapses. In addition, during the period from when the display of the variable display device is activated to when it stops, not only does the display image add various effects to give the player an expectation and anxiety and enhance the interest of the game, but also stops at the big hit symbol. In addition to this, there is a demand for an image having excellent decorativeness and an impact even when variable display is started. For this reason, when selecting a gaming machine, a player often chooses a fun gaming machine with a devised display image rather than a vague criterion that a large profit is likely to be obtained.

In recent years, a so-called 3D display device has been developed as a display device capable of realizing a more realistic display, in which a display image is viewed in a three-dimensional manner. There is a display device using a parallax barrier method, a lenticular method, or the like. Therefore, if these 3D display devices are provided in a gaming machine, a three-dimensional display can be performed,
Unprecedented entertainment can be provided.

[0006]

However, since a 3D display device capable of displaying a stereoscopic image is configured to be stereoscopically displayed by utilizing the parallax of both eyes,
If the player's eyes are at a specific position (stereoscopically visible position), the displayed image will appear three-dimensional. However, if the player deviates from this stereoscopically visible position, the image will not only appear three-dimensionally but will appear blurred or redundant. Or an image that is hard to see. To adjust the position of the eyes that are out of the stereoscopically viewable position and adjust the focus requires familiarity, it is not easy, and it takes time to adjust the position again, so the key effect is immediately I can't get it.

[0007] In addition, since the player playing the game moves his / her eyes in various directions following the whereabouts of the game ball, the player is not allowed to play the game.
Even if the user suddenly turns his or her gaze on the D-type display device, it cannot be easily focused.

[0008] Still further, the user turns his or her eyes on the display device to obtain a 3D image.
When an image is viewed, if a mark or the like for adjusting the stereoscopically visible position interferes with the game, the interest may be impaired, and the player may be disadvantaged.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a game provided with a display device which enables a player playing a game to easily and accurately adjust the position of eyes to a stereoscopically visible position, and in which a display image does not interfere with the game. The purpose is to provide a machine.

[0010]

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 which is a typical gaming machine, and FIG. 2 is a front view of a gaming board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is of a type for lending a ball using a prepaid card. The pachinko machine main body has an inner frame 5 attached to an outer frame 4 so as to be openable and closable, and a glass frame 6. The game board 2 is configured to be seen through the glass 7, and an upper plate 9 is provided below the glass frame 6.
A ball lending control box 1 provided with a lower plate 10 and a hit ball launching operation handle 11 and the like below the pachinko machine main body.
A card insertion slot 13 is opened on the front of the card slot 2. When a prepaid card is inserted into the card insertion slot 13 and the ball lending operation button 14 provided on the upper plate 9 is operated, the ball ejection device provided on the pachinko machine main body is activated. When the ball is ejected to the upper plate 9 to operate and the hitting ball firing operation handle 11 is operated, the hitting ball firing device is operated, and the game balls introduced from the upper plate 9 are played one by one on the game area 15 on the surface of the game board 2. Can be fired within.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 2 is partitioned by a partition member such as a guide rail 16 to form a substantially circular game area 15, and a three-dimensional image can be displayed substantially at the center of the game area 15. The variable display device 3 can be converted into a first state in which game balls are not accepted and a second state in which game balls are easily accepted by disposing a tulip-type ordinary electric starting port 17 below the variable display device 3 and operating the variable display device 3. A variable winning prize device (an award winning type, which is an attacker type that opens and closes a horizontally long door in this embodiment and converts the state) is provided, and an ordinary symbol variable display 20 is provided below the variable prize winning device 19. A normal symbol starting port 21 is arranged on the left and right.

The variable display device 3 includes a mounting board 22 mounted on the surface of the game board 2, a case provided on the back side of the mounting board 22, a concave chamber in a case having a front face communicating with an opening of the mounting board 22, An eave-shaped armor 23 protruding from the upper edge of the opening of the mounting substrate 22, a winning opening 24 formed integrally with the armor 23, and a display window 25 opened on the inner wall of the recess. And an image display unit 26. Note that the armor portion 23 is a member for preventing the flowing game balls from flowing directly into the concave room. Further, the image display unit 26 displays a three-dimensional image. In the present embodiment, the image display unit 26 is configured to display the symbols in three horizontal rows (for example, “777”) and to display the symbols three-dimensionally. .

Next, the detailed configuration of the image display unit 26 and the principle of a stereoscopic image will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the principle of the parallax barrier method. In FIG.
The image display unit 26 has a liquid crystal panel 30, and the liquid crystal panel 30 is configured so that left images L and right images R are alternately arranged. The left image L is an image corresponding to the left eye of the player, and the right image R is an image corresponding to the right eye of the player. Note that a backlight unit is disposed on the back surface side of the liquid crystal panel 30, and illuminates the image display unit 26 from behind.

A parallax barrier section 31 is disposed on the front side of the liquid crystal panel 30. The parallax barrier section 31 has barriers 31a and slits 31b alternately, and the barrier 31a is a closed portion for viewing an image. In this case, the slit 31b is an opening and allows an image to be viewed. The slits 31b are formed at equal intervals. Therefore, a portion between the slits 31b and the slits 31b serves as a barrier 31a to block a part of the image, and by positioning the player's eyes at a predetermined position, only the right-eye image R is displayed on the right eye. The left eye can see only the image L for the left eye. At this time, a stereoscopic effect is artificially created by showing the two images to the left and right eyes according to the principle of the “binocular parallax method”. That is, a so-called three-dimensional effect such as a depth and a perspective sensed when looking at an object can be obtained by viewing different images with the left and right eyes. Then, the position of the eye from which the stereoscopic effect can be obtained is the position at which stereoscopic viewing is possible.

The distance between the liquid crystal panel 30 and the parallax barrier portion 31 is desirably, for example, about 1 to 2 mm. The distance between the liquid crystal panel 30 and the position of the player's eyes is, for example, liquid crystal. Panel 30 is 4-6 inch type and 5
About 0 cm is desirable. In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 1,
Due to the size of the game area 15, a liquid crystal panel 30 of about 4 inches is often used, and about 50 cm is appropriate.

By employing such a parallax barrier method, the present embodiment has an advantage that a stereoscopic image can be realized at low cost without using special glasses. When a two-dimensional image (2D), that is, a two-dimensional image is shown, the same image is displayed on the left and right eyes.
In this case, a planar image is displayed on the image display unit 26.

As described above, in order to produce a three-dimensional effect, it is necessary for the right eye of the player to see only the image R for the right eye, and for the left eye to see only the image L for the left eye. , The player's eyes must be located at a predetermined position (stereoscopically visible position). Therefore, in the present invention, a visual assistance display image (stereoscopic visual confirmation position confirmation image) is displayed on the image display unit 26 of the display device 3, and the stereoscopic visible position at which the image of the image display unit 26 can be seen three-dimensionally is determined by the visual assistance display Adjustment is possible depending on the appearance of the displayed image.

The principle that the position at which stereoscopic viewing is possible can be grasped based on the appearance of the viewing auxiliary display image is based on, for example, the liquid crystal panel 30.
A red image is alternately arranged at the position of the left image L and a blue image is alternately arranged at the position of the right image R, and these red image and blue image constitute and display a visual assistance display image.

With the right eye closed and the left eye alone viewing the visual assistance display image, if the left eye is located at a stereoscopically visible position, only the left image L can be seen by the left eye through the slit 31b, and the right image R can be seen by the barrier 31a. Will be cut off and cannot be seen. In other words, if the position of the eyes is a stereoscopically visible position, only the red color of the left image L appears in the eyes, and the blue color of the right image R cannot be seen. Therefore, the player can recognize that the current eye position is a stereoscopically visible position because the visual assistance display image looks red.

On the other hand, if the left eye of the player is shifted to the left from the stereoscopically visible position, not only the left image but also the right image R can be seen through the slit 31b. Will correspond.
That is, it is possible to grasp the magnitude of the displacement of the eye position based on the mixing state of the red image of the left image L and the blue image of the right image R. Therefore, it is possible to find a position where only the red image of the left image L appears in the left eye by moving the head little by little to the left and right (moving in the direction of increasing red color) while feeling the degree of color mixing at this time. This position is a stereoscopically visible position.

Regarding the front and rear positions of the eyes, the red image of the left image L can be viewed over the entire width as long as the left eye is located at the stereoscopically visible position. However, if it is too close, when viewed through the slit 31b, not only the left image L but also the right image R adjacent to the left image L will be seen, and blue will be mixed with red. When viewed through, the entire width of the red image of the left image L cannot be seen, and the red images on the left and right side edges are blocked by the barrier, resulting in insufficient red. Therefore, the position of the eyes can be adjusted to the stereoscopically visible position by searching for the position where the red color is maximized while moving the head little by little back and forth.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the position of the head while looking at the visual assistance display image with the left eye and searching for the position where the red image looks most red (ie, adjusting the appearance of the visual assistance display image). (Eye position) little by little,
The position that looks reddest is the stereoscopically visible position.

FIG. 4A shows an image display section 26 of the display device 3.
In this embodiment, the image display unit 26 of the display device 3 displays a large main symbol area 32a at the center involved in the progress of the game for making a game value assignment determination, and a game above and below the main symbol area 32a. The display includes a horizontally long decorative design area 32b which is not involved in the progress of the pattern, and the design itself displayed in the main design area 32a, that is, the image of the numeral itself is used as the visual assistance display image. The boundary between the main symbol area 32a and the decorative symbol area 32b does not need to be clearly divided, and may be appropriately displayed according to the background design to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 4B, when viewing with the left eye, the visual assistance display image “77” is seen not as red but as blue mixed color (shown by light oblique lines).
That is, when viewed at a position shifted from the stereoscopically visible position, the rightmost symbol “1” is shifted and appears as an overlapping stereoscopic image. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when the user sees “77” as the visual assistance display image with the left eye, the blue color is not mixed and looks red (indicated by the dark oblique lines), that is, the three-dimensional image. When viewed in a state where the eyes are aligned with the viewable position, the symbol “7” at the right end appears to be raised toward the front as a stereoscopic image.

As described above, if the number displayed in the main symbol area 32a is the visual assistance display image, since this number is the part that the player pays the most attention to, the position of the eyes can be adjusted naturally without moving the line of sight. It can be carried out.

The symbols are not limited to numbers as long as the symbols are displayed in the main symbol area 32a. For example, FIG. 5A is a front view of the image display unit 26 of the display device 3, and in the second embodiment, the symbols displayed on the image display unit 26 display ordinary numbers as three-dimensional images. A horizontal strip 33 is also displayed as a visual assistance display image in the background of a number, also serving as a symbol stop line.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the band 33, which is the visual assistance display image, is viewed with the left eye, the color is not red but is mixed with blue (indicated by numerous innumerable points in the figure). When viewed in a visible state, that is, at a position shifted from the stereoscopically visible position, the pattern “711” is shifted and appears as an overlapping stereoscopic image. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), when the band 33, which is a visual assistance display image, is viewed with the left eye and looks blue (shown by dark oblique lines) without mixing blue.
That is, when viewed in a state where the eyes are aligned with the stereoscopically visible position, the symbol “777” appears to be raised to the front as a stereoscopic image.

As described above, when the visual assistance display image is constituted by the symbol stop line 33, it is the most watched part in the variable game, and the position of the eyes for viewing the stereoscopic image can be easily adjusted, and the line of sight of the stereoscopic image is not changed. The game results can be visually checked, so there is less fatigue.

FIG. 6 (a) is a front view of an image display section 26 of the display device 3. In the third embodiment, the symbols displayed on the image display section 26 display ordinary numbers as three-dimensional images. Above this number, the number of stored variable game rights to be played on the display device 3 (the number of balls won in the starting port is limited to four).
Is displayed in the storage display area 34 for displaying the image, and a portion around a small rectangular storage display image 35 for indicating that there is a memory is displayed as the visual assistance display image. Accordingly, FIG. 6A shows that the number of storages is two, and FIGS. 6B and 6C show that the number of storages is three.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, when looking at the periphery of the storage display image 35, which is a visual assistance display image as viewed with the left eye, a color in which blue is mixed instead of red (the countless fine When viewed at a position shifted from the stereoscopically visible position, the symbol “711” is shifted and appears as an overlapping stereoscopic image. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), when looking around the storage display image 35 which is the visual assistance display image when viewed with the left eye, the blue color is seen as red (shown by a dark oblique line) without mixing. That is, when the eye is viewed in a state where the eyes are aligned with the stereoscopically visible position, the pattern “7”
77 ”appears as a stereoscopic image in the foreground.

As described above, when the visual assistance display image is constituted by the display section around the storage display image 35, it is a portion to be watched in order to confirm the storage number in the variable game, and the position of the eyes for viewing the stereoscopic image can be easily adjusted. , And the game result can be visually recognized without largely moving the line of sight.

Further, as in the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the stored image 35 itself may be used as the visual assistance display image. Also in this embodiment, when viewed with the left eye, the stored display image 35, which is a visual assistance display image, is seen not as red but as a mixed color of blue (indicated by countless points in the figure), that is, stereoscopic viewing. When viewed at a position shifted from the possible position, the pattern “711” is shifted and appears as an overlapped three-dimensional image. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), when the stored display image 35, which is a visual assistance display image, is viewed with the left eye and looks red (shown by dark oblique lines) without mixing blue, that is, When viewed in a state where the eyes are aligned with the stereoscopically visible position, the symbol “777” appears to be raised to the front as a stereoscopic image.

The visual assistance display image is not limited to the one displayed in the main symbol area 32a. FIG. 8A is a front view of the image display unit 26 of the display device 3. In the fifth embodiment,
A large main symbol region 32a involved in the progress of the game for making a game value assignment determination on the image display unit 26 of the display device 3;
Above the main symbol area 32a, a horizontally elongated decorative symbol area 32b that is not involved in the progress of the game is included and displayed. In the main symbol area 32a, numerals are displayed as a three-dimensional image, and the symbol stop line 36 is displayed as a planar image. The decorative design “77777” displayed and displayed in the decorative design area 32b is used as the visual assistance display image. The decorative pattern “77
In the case of “777”, one character in the central portion is displayed larger in order to enhance the decorativeness, and gradually becomes smaller as it goes to the side.

As shown in FIG. 8 (b), when viewing the "77777" which is a visual assistance display image when viewed with the left eye, the color becomes mixed with blue instead of red (indicated by countless fine points in the figure). When viewed in a visible state, that is, at a position shifted from the stereoscopically visible position, the pattern “711” is shifted and appears as an overlapping stereoscopic image. Then, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), when seeing with the left eye the "77777" which is a visual assistance display image, the blue color is not mixed and looks red (shown by dark oblique lines), that is, the three-dimensional image. When viewed in a state where the eyes are aligned with the viewable position, the symbol “777” appears to emerge as a stereoscopic image.

As described above, if the symbol displayed in the decorative symbol area 32b is the visual assistance display image, the position of the eyes can be corrected by moving the line of sight very slightly, if necessary, so that during the game, Even if there is, you can easily adjust,
No hassle.

In any area, the display device 3
When the visual assistance display image is displayed on the image display unit 26 of the above, it does not hinder the game, and it is easy to adjust the position of the eyes to be stereoscopically visible without greatly moving the line of sight. It can be used well and can enhance the interest of the game from the visual side. Then, the visual assistance display image is not limited to one that is always displayed. For example, by an external operation of the player,
A visual assistance display image display state in which a visual assistance display image can be displayed on the image display unit 26 of the display device 3 (an activated state of the visual assistance means), and a visual assistance display image non-display state in which the visual assistance display image is not displayed (visual recognition) Inactive state of auxiliary means)
May be provided.

More specifically, a push-button-type visual assistance display switch 39 is provided on the upper plate 9 as a visual assistance display operation unit, and this visual assistance display switch 39 is connected to a control device to be described later. It is configured so that it can be performed.

When the visual assistance display operation section is provided in this manner, for example, as shown in FIG.
When the visual assistance display switch 39 is operated in a non-visual assistance display image non-display state in which a stereoscopic image (2, 5, and 4 of symbols) is displayed but no visual assistance display image is displayed in FIG.
As shown in (b), a decorative assistance display image “77” is displayed in the decorative symbol area 32b arranged above the image display unit 26.
777 "can be switched to the visual assistance display image state. Then, by operating the visual assistance display switch 39 again, the visual assistance display image non-display state shown in FIG. 9A can be returned. Therefore, when the player operates the visual assistance display switch 39 as necessary, the visual assistance display image can be displayed or erased in the image display unit 26. For this reason, it is possible to enjoy the game in a state where it is erased if it is a used player and in a state where it is displayed if it is an inexperienced player.

The need for the visual assistance display image is for displaying a stereoscopic image. Therefore, the visual assistance display image is displayed when the stereoscopic image is displayed, and is erased when unnecessary. As described above, it can be performed under the control of the control device.

The image itself displayed on the image display section 26 of the display device 3 may be configured so that a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image can be selected by an external operation of the player. In this case, a selection operation section for selecting a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional image may be separately provided, but the above-mentioned visual assistance display switch 39 may be used as well. For example, as shown in FIG.
The symbol “254” is displayed as a planar image in the main symbol region 32a of No. 6
Is displayed, and "Normal game" (flat image display state) is displayed in the upper decorative design area 32b. When the player operates the visual assistance display switch 39,
As shown in FIG. 10B, a stereoscopic image “254” is displayed as a stereoscopic image in the main symbol region 32a, and “7777” which is a visual assistance display image is displayed in the decorative symbol region 32b.
7 ”is displayed. By operating the visual assistance display switch 39 again, it is possible to return to the planar image display state shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a timing chart showing the relationship between the operation of the visual assistance switch and the image.

When displaying the visual assistance display image,
A message to that effect may be displayed in the image display unit 26 so that the player can easily understand the usage method and the like. For example,
As shown in FIG. 12A, when the visual assistance display switch 39 is operated in a state where the planar image is displayed, FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and 12 (c), a message is displayed in the decorative symbol display area, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), a symbol "357" is displayed as a visual assistance display image. You may comprise. Note that “357” may be a so-called lucky number that can be set at the gaming shop.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (e), the effect that the symbol is displayed three-dimensionally is displayed in the decorative image area, and then the symbol in the main symbol area 32a is three-dimensionally stopped and displayed. The visual assistance display image “3D game” may be displayed in the decorative image area, and thereafter, the symbol (number) of the main symbol area 32a may be variably displayed.

With such a configuration, the effect can be further enhanced by giving a change to the image, and the state is notified to the player by a message, so that the state can be easily grasped.

Further, as shown in FIG.
When the variable display game being performed while being variably displayed on the plan symbol is in a specific state, for example, when two symbols are stopped at the same symbol and the possibility of a big hit is high (reach) (FIG. 14B) In this state, the display “reach” to that effect is displayed in the decorative image area, and the image being variably displayed is thereafter displayed as a stereoscopic image, and the display of “reach” is displayed as a visual assistance display image, and then stopped. If all three symbols become a big hit, a "big hit" may be displayed in the decorative image area to that effect.

With this configuration, the effect can be further enhanced by giving a change to the image, and the expectation of a big hit can be increased. Further, since the state is notified to the player by a message, the state can be grasped. easy.

Next, control of the display device 3, control of a game, and the like will be described. In the game of the present embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine 1, a special game for changing the content of the display symbol of the variable display device 3 is performed when a game ball is won in the ordinary electric starting port 17, and the variable display is stopped. When the symbol becomes a special symbol (for example, a slotted symbol such as “777”), a big hit is made and the variable winning device 19 is opened. The symbols displayed on the variable display device 3 are not limited to numbers and symbols, and images using characters may be used. Then, the display symbol is scrolled in the order of left, center, and right to stop, but is not limited thereto, and may be stopped in the order of left, right, and center. At this time, a reach scroll may be performed.

Further, during the variable display on the variable display device 3, the symbols may all be seen three-dimensionally, or when the symbols are stopped in a specific state, for example, a big hit symbol (eg, “777”). The display of the three-dimensional image may be limited to a specific time according to the progress of the game, such as displaying the image three-dimensionally only, or, as described above, displaying the three-dimensional pattern even when the player reaches the reach.

CPU 40, RAM 41, ROM 42
Constitutes a game control means (the accessory control control device 71) as a whole. Also, a CPU 62, a RAM 64, a ROM 6
3. The video memory 65, the video display controller 66, the LCD drive section 67, and the font ROM 69 constitute an image control means (display control device 58) as a whole.
These control means and image control means realize functions as display control means and image type switching means, and control not only the symbols displayed in the main symbol area 32a but also the visual auxiliary display images, that is, the visual auxiliary display images are displayed. The image is displayed or erased in a predetermined area, or the image is switched between 2D and 3D, or is switched to a stereoscopic image (3D) after a predetermined time has elapsed since the display of the visual assistance display image.

Next, the procedure of the game control will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when the power of the gaming machine is turned on, it is determined in S1 that the power is turned on. If the power is turned on for the first time, initialization processing such as initializing the work area of the RAM 41 is performed in S2, and a reset wait is performed. If it is not turned on, that is, if the power is turned on, then it is determined in S3 whether or not the probability is set. This is to determine whether or not to perform a process of setting a large hit probability or a normal symbol hit probability. When setting a probability, the probability setting process is performed in S4. here,
The probability value is set to the probability value set by the probability setting device. For example, the big hit probability of the variable display device 3 is set 3 (big hit probability: 1/200), and the setting 2 (big hit probability: 1/21)
0) and setting 1 (big hit probability: 1/220). It should be noted that if the model can set the normal symbol probability, the normal symbol probability may be set in S4. When the probability setting process ends, the process waits for a reset.

On the other hand, if the probability is not set in S3, no
Then, a prize ball control process is performed in S5. This is to transmit prize ball data from the accessory control device 71 to the discharge control device 57. Upon receiving the prize ball data, the discharge control device 57 activates the ball discharge device to correspond to the number of prize balls. The ball is ejected. Next, a random number update process is performed in S6. This is because the random number for performing the lottery for determining whether or not the symbol of the variable display device 3 becomes a big hit is updated every time the main routine is repeated to maintain the at randomness.

Next, switch input processing is performed in S7.
This is to perform necessary processing according to the start winning prize,
When there is a winning start, a random number for jackpot determination is extracted.

Next, in step S8, a visual assist display switch input monitoring process is performed. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 18, this is determined in S8a as to whether or not the visual assistance display switch 39 has been input. If the input has not been input, the process branches back to no. Determine whether the display is displayed. If the visual assistance display is not displayed, the process proceeds to S8c to set the visual assistance display data, and returns. If the display is displayed, the process branches to S8d to clear the visual assistance display data, and returns. The visual assistance display data is data for displaying a visual assistance display image on the image display unit 26, and is in a state where it can be captured and displayed by operating the visual assistance display switch 39 in any game state. . This will be described later.

When the visual assist display switch input monitoring process is completed, a branch is determined in a time division process in S9. This is to sequentially branch to the following four branch destinations every time the routine is repeated.
0 special figure game processing, symbol control editing processing of S11, S1
2 and a data transfer process of S13.

The special figure game process is a process for performing a special figure game (special game, symbol matching game) in which the symbol of the variable display device 3 is changed to determine a big hit or a miss. On the basis of this, a game process such as a big hit determination or a symbol determination is performed. The transmission command editing process is performed from the accessory control device 71 to the variable display device 3.
This is a process for editing the transmission command to be sent to the subroutine.

The symbol control editing process is a process of editing a symbol sent from the accessory control device 71 to the variable display device 3, and will be described later in detail in a subroutine. The data transfer process is a process for transferring data from the accessory control device 71 to the variable display device 3.

After any of the time-sharing processes of S10 to S13, the general-purpose electric power process is performed in S14. This is to change the symbol of the ordinary symbol display device 3 to control the solenoid of the ordinary variable winning device (ordinary electric starting port 17), and to open the ordinary variable winning device 17.

Next, SOL / external information processing is performed in S15. This is a process for transmitting a signal for controlling the solenoid of the variable winning device 19, a rotation signal of the special symbol display device 3 (variable display device 3), a big hit signal, and the like to the external management device 56.

Next, output processing is performed in S16. This outputs data to an output port and outputs signals to various display devices 3 inside the gaming machine 1. Then, a lamp / LED process is performed in S17. This is to control lighting or blinking of various lamps / LEDs of the game board 2 such as a prize ball discharge lamp, a replenishment lamp and the like according to the content of the game. Thereafter, a sound output process is performed in S18. This is the sound generator 49
, A sound effect necessary for the game is generated, and the generated sound effect is amplified by the amplifier 50 and emitted from the speaker 51.

Next, fraud monitoring and fraud processing are performed in S19. This is to monitor for fraud on the gaming machine 1 and perform necessary processing when fraud occurs. For example, if there is no ball winning in the variable winning device 19 when a big hit occurs, no count processing is performed. This is a process of performing an alarm sound, etc., when it is determined to be illegal. After S19, a reset is awaited, and the main routine is repeated by, for example, a hardware interrupt every 2 ms.

FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing a subroutine of the transmission command editing process in S12 in the main routine described above. When this subroutine is started, first, in S12a, table data corresponding to the mode is calculated.

FIGS. 20 and 21 are diagrams showing control states, modes corresponding to each control state, and a plurality of data (symbol data or stored information) corresponding to each mode. For example, the normal operation state of the 3D is the mode “01H”, and the left symbol number, the middle symbol number, the right symbol number, and the visual assistance display data of the variable display device 3 are in the mode “01H”.
H ", and the normal operation state of 2D is mode" 02H ". At this time, the left symbol number, middle symbol number, right symbol number, and visual assistance display data of the variable display device 3 are set to the mode" 02H ". Are set in advance and are table data. Similarly, each mode is determined according to the control state of fanfare, big hit, big hit end, and illegal, and a plurality of data corresponding to each mode are a left symbol number, a middle symbol number, a right symbol number, and visual assistance display data. Is set in advance as table data. In addition, each mode is determined corresponding to the fluctuation control state of the special figure such as high-speed fluctuation, loss, reach stop, and a plurality of data corresponding to each mode are left, middle,
Symbol numbers, symbol positions, and visual assistance display data corresponding to the three symbols on the right are set in advance and are table data. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in either 2D or 3D, the player can display the visual assistance display image on the image display unit 26 by operating the visual assistance display switch 39, or erase the visual assistance display image. Therefore, visual assistance display data is also included in the table data as the data 7 of each mode.

The symbol position is position data in dot units when one symbol is formed in dot units. In addition, in FIG. C indicates that there is no data. The reason why the mode is included in the data 4 is to make the same thing read twice to improve the reliability. The round is the number of rounds of a big hit in a big hit game, and the count is the number of balls that have won the variable winning device 19 (attacker) in the big hit game.

At S12a, a process of calculating table data corresponding to the mode of the current routine is performed. Specifically, the left symbol number, the middle symbol number, the right symbol number, and the visual assistance display data of the variable display device 3 are calculated as the data corresponding to any one of the modes according to the state. Next, in S12b, usage information is obtained from the table data. For example, use information such as a left symbol number, a middle symbol number, a right symbol number, visual assistance display data, and visual assistance display data corresponding to the mode calculated in S12a is looked up from the table data. Next, the process proceeds to S12c, where the obtained information is set in the data transfer area, and the subroutine ends. As a result, table data such as the left symbol number, the middle symbol number, the right symbol number, and the visual assistance display data corresponding to the mode acquired in S12a is set in the data transfer area, and the variable display device is set in the data transfer process in S13 of the main routine. 3 is output.

FIG. 22 shows S in the above-mentioned main routine.
It is a flowchart which shows the subroutine of 11 symbol control edit processing. When this subroutine is started, first, a control data table is calculated in S11a. The control data table is a table that stores data having symbols of the previous routine. Next, control data is acquired in S11b. Thereby, the symbol data of the previous routine is read. Next, the symbol position is updated in S11c. A dot is a symbol which is divided into a plurality of parts and displayed because the symbol is divided into a plurality of parts. It should be noted that a dot is not necessarily a single pixel, and it is normal for a plurality of pixels to collectively form a dot (a plurality of portions as one unit forming a design), for example.

The symbol position is dot position data when a symbol is formed. For example, when a symbol "1" is to be formed, "1" is displayed on the screen by a plurality of dots. However, the dot formation position is updated. When all the dot positions are updated, the entire image of the symbol "1" appears. Next, in S11d, the symbol point position is updated. The symbol point position means that when there are a plurality of symbols, it is changed to the next higher symbol. For example, if the symbol is "1" in the previous routine, the symbol point position is updated to symbol "2". After S11d, the subroutine ends.

Next, the symbol display control of the variable display device 3 will be described. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a main routine of symbol display control of the variable display device 3. This main routine is executed after the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on. When the main routine starts, first in S20, the RAM
Is initialized. As a result, the work area of the RAM is initialized and flags and the like are reset.

Next, the setting of the I / O register is performed in S21. This initializes the I / O registers of the CPU 62 and other elements. Next, a register in the system is set in S22. This is to initialize the internal registers of the CPU 62 and other elements. Next, in S23, it is determined whether or not the V_SYNC flag is present (is "1"). The V_SYNC flag updates the image displayed on the image display unit 26 every 1/60 minute, and thus is set to “1” at the time of the update.

If the V_SYNC flag is not set,
It is determined that it is not time to update the image displayed on the image display unit 26, and the process waits in S23. And V_SY
When it is time to update the image displayed on the image display unit 26 with the NC flag raised, a branching process for each mode is performed in S24. In the subroutine of this mode-specific branch processing, first, as shown in FIG. 24, a processing number branch is determined (S24).
a). This is to determine a branch corresponding to the mode shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, and specifically branches to the following steps. Step S25: Normal operation (3D) Step S26: Normal operation (2D) Step S27: High-speed fluctuation (3D) Step S28: High-speed fluctuation (2D) Step S29: Left symbol stop (3D) Step S30: Left symbol stop (2D) Step S31: Middle symbol stop (3D) Step S32: Middle symbol stop (2D) Step S33: Reach stop (3D) Step S34: Reach stop (2D) Step S35: Right symbol stop (3D) Step S36: Right symbol stop ( 2D) Step S37: Loss (3D) Step S38: Loss (2D) Step S39: Fan fare (3D) Step S40: Fan fare (2D) Step S41: Big hit (3D) Step S42: Big hit (2D) Step S43: Big hit end ( 3D) Step S 4: jackpot ends (2D), where the 2D is that of a stereoscopic image and a plane image, 3D. When a command is transmitted from the accessory control device 71, the process branches to a step having a process number corresponding to the command.

After any of S25 to S44, the symbol data sorting process is performed in S45. This is a process for dividing the design data in order to fetch the font data from the font ROM 69 and display it on the image display unit 26. When the symbol data sorting process is completed, the process returns to S23, and the same loop is repeated.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a routine of the interrupt processing in the variable display device 3. This interrupt processing routine is repeatedly executed at a certain interrupt timing. In the interrupt processing routine, first, an interrupt prohibition process is performed in S46. As a result, other interrupt processing is prohibited, and only this interrupt processing routine is executed. Then
At S47, the register is saved. This is to temporarily save the data in the I / O register, the CPU 62, and the I / O registers of other elements, and the saved data is returned again in S53 described later.

Next, in S48, it is determined whether or not a communication interrupt has occurred. This is from the accessory control device 71 to the variable display device 3
It is determined whether or not it is an interrupt timing for performing a communication for transmitting a transmission command to the CPU. If it is a communication interrupt, the process proceeds to S49 to perform a communication process. Thereby, communication for transmitting a transmission command from the accessory control device 71 to the variable display device 3 is performed. After S49, the process jumps to S53.

On the other hand, if it is not a communication interruption in S48, S5
Proceeding to 0, it is determined whether or not a V_SYNC interrupt has occurred.
Since the image displayed on the image display unit 26 is updated every 1/60 minute, the V_SYNC interrupt determines whether or not it is an interrupt timing for the update.

In the case of V_SYNC interruption, the flow advances to S51 to transfer image data. This is because the font RO is used in the symbol data sort process of the symbol data sort in the main routine.
The data obtained by performing the processing of taking in the font data from the M69 and dividing the data is transferred from the video memory 65 to the LCD drive section 67, whereby the image is displayed on the image display section 26.

Next, in step S52, an interrupt flag of V_SYNC is set (set to "1"). With this processing, it is possible to determine whether or not the V_SYNC interrupt flag is set in S23 of the main loop.

Next, the register is restored in S53. This is because the I / O register, CPU 62, and other elements
Since the data in the / O register is temporarily saved (S47), the saved data is returned to each register again.

Then, an interrupt is permitted in S54. As a result, execution of another interrupt process other than the interrupt process routine is permitted again. After S54, this interrupt processing routine ends and returns to the normal state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the variable display device 3 is configured to be able to display a three-dimensional image.
During high-speed fluctuation, each symbol stop, big hit, and the like, a flat image is displayed on the variable display device 3 or control for switching from the flat image to a three-dimensional image is performed, and the three-dimensional image is displayed on the variable display device 3.

When the visual assistance display switch 39 is turned on and activated, the visual assistance image is displayed on the image display section 26 of the variable display device 3, and the visual assistance display switch 39 is turned off. In the deactivated state, the visual assistance image is not displayed on the image display unit 26.

Since the visual assistance display image is used only when the stereoscopic image is displayed, the visual assistance display image is displayed in the mode in which the stereoscopic image is displayed in accordance with the operation of the visual assistance display switch 39. May be displayed. In this case, as shown in the flowchart of the input processing of the visual assistance display switch 39 shown in FIG. 26, it is determined whether or not the visual assistance display switch 39 has been input in S8e. If so, the flow advances to S8f to determine whether the current display mode is 3D. If it is determined that the display mode is not 3D, that is, if the display mode is the 2D display mode, the process proceeds to S8g to set the visual assistance display data, and the mode is set to 3D in S8h. These visual assistance display data and the 3D-compatible mode are as shown in FIGS. On the other hand, if the current display mode is 3D,
The process branches to S8i to clear the visual assistance display data, and then to S8i.
Set the mode to 2D with j. In this manner, in the present embodiment, the display image itself can be switched to 2D or 3D by operating the visual assistance display switch 39.

The visual assist display image according to the present invention is an image for adjusting the position of the eyes to an optimal stereoscopically visible position, so it is not limited to the above-mentioned figures and patterns such as the band 33, and may be a design that does not hinder the game.
