  • Patent number: 5984780
    Abstract: An image input section 1530 of a storage medium issuing system inputs image information and an image processing unit 420 performs image processing for the image information input through the image input section 1530. The image information processed by the image processing section is stored on a storage medium by an image write section 1500.When the storage medium on which the image information is stored is inserted into a gaming machine, the image information is read by a read section of the gaming machine. A game execution section of the gaming machine executes a predetermined game in accordance with image information concerning the game stored in a game image storage section. A display control section controls display of the image information read from the storage medium instead of reading a specific symbol among the image information stored in the game image storage section.

  • Patent number: 5810665
    Abstract: When a predetermined specific condition is satisfied, input time detection means instructs an image input section to input image information. When receiving the instruction from the input time detection means, the image input section inputs the image information. An image processing section performs image processing of the image information input through the image input section. A specific image storage section stores the image information processed by the image processing section. A game execution section executes a predetermined game in accordance with image information concerning the game stored in a game image storage section. Change time detection means detects a predetermined specific condition being satisfied. Upon detection of the condition, a display control section changes predetermined image information of the image information concerning the game to a specific amount of image information processed by the image processing section and displays it.

  • Patent number: 5702303
    Abstract: A game machine, having a game display screen, for paying out game play media for a winning game if a given condition is satisfied after a game is started after game play media are input. The game machine comprises an input counter for cumulatively counting and outputting the number of input game play media, a payout counter for cumulatively counting and outputting the number of paid-out game play media, a processing unit for finding a difference between outputs of the input counter and the payout counter and outputting the difference as a profit/loss count of game play media, and a memory for sequentially storing the profit/loss count output from the processing unit every specific period together with the actual time. A processing section displays information, representing change of the profit/loss count with time, stored in the memory, in a part of the game display screen.

  • Patent number: 5584775
    Abstract: An automatic transmission for a transverse engine vehicle having a first shaft aligned with an engine crankshaft, a second shaft and third shafts driving front wheels of the vehicle. The first, second and third shafts are arranged in a triangular configuration in an end view. A fluid coupling, a main transmission and a counter drive gear are arranged on the first shaft. A counter driven gear, meshing with the counter drive gear, and a reduction gear are both arranged on the second shaft. A differential unit is interposed to drive the third shafts and has a ring gear meshing with the reduction gear. The counter drive gear is located on the first shaft between the fluid coupling and the main transmission, has a supporting boss portion extending toward the main transmission and is supported by the transmission case. The first shaft extends from the fluid coupling and through the counter drive gear for connection to at least one input element of the main transmission.

  • Patent number: 5516104
    Abstract: A slot machine which uses pachinko balls as game media. It stores in a memory the number of pachinko balls (unit number) economically equivalent to a medal. During take in of pachinko balls for starting a game and dispensing of pachinko balls as prizes, pachinko balls corresponding to an integral multiplication of the unit number are handled. When the unit number is changed, it can be easily accomplished by a change in a value of the unit number using the change instruction inputting apparatus. In the slot machine, the sprocket which controls the dispensing of the pachinko balls and the ratchet wheel are preferably set on the same axis and disengageably linked by a fixing projection and a fixing concave provided on them for conjoint rotation when required.

  • Patent number: 5472195
    Abstract: A system for displaying occurrence of an event at a game machine island (10) having at least one game machine row comprising a plurality of game machines (1) placed side by side. The display system comprises a dome display (200) having a display area provided along the game machine row of the game machine island (10) for displaying in the display area and a display controller (300) for controlling the operation of the dome display. A plurality of display units are distributed into those positioned to the left, when viewed facing the game machine row, and those positioned to the right, with the position corresponding to the position of a game machine when an event occurs as reference. The display units positioned to the left are made to display in a display mode representing directionality from the left end to the reference position and the display units positioned to the right are made to display in a display mode representing directionality from the right end to the reference position.
