Title:
PINBALL GAME MACHINE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009240426
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a pinball game machine capable of enhancing its presentation properties by dividing a projection image from a projector, reflecting the divided images on reflection surfaces of different surface shapes to be projected in different directions, projecting one projection image on a first projection surface while enlarging and projecting the other projection image on a second projection surface, and allowing a player to visually recognize an appropriate image by correcting the trapezoidal distorsion significant when the image is enlarged and projected.

A first moving image P1 projected from the projector 41 is reflected on a flat first reflection surface toward a rotating body 36, and a second moving image P2 projected from the projector is enlarged and reflected on a convex-curved second reflection surface toward a screen 40. Then, correcting means corrects the trapezoidal distortion of the second moving image P2 reflected on the second reflection surface and projected on the screen. In this way, the first moving image is projected on the rotating body while the second moving image is enlarged and projected on the screen with the trapezoidal distortion appropriately corrected by the correcting means, so that the presentation properties can be significantly enhanced.
