Animal Katsumi’s Silver Ball Memoirs Vol.017 This time, I would like to take a break from talking regarding my personal memories and write regarding a story regarding pachinko hardware. When a specific pattern matches, you win a jackpot and can get a large amount of balls all at once.The so-called “Seven machine” or “DigiPachi” brought the gameplay similar to that of a slot machine to pachinko. is a gaming machine classified as “first class”. Born in 1980 (Showa 55). At the time, the pachinko industry was in a serious situation, losing customers to video game players led by Invaders, which had become a social phenomenon following its appearance in 1978. The emergence of DigiPachi, which had game features and ball payout performance that fundamentally overturned conventional wisdom, saved the day. The purpose of this article is to look back on the evolution and diversification of the “design display device” that is the lifeblood of DigiPachi, focusing on the period from the end of the Showa era to the beginning of the Heisei era. ■Evolution and diversification of DigiPachi display devices Part 1: Drum Sankyo (currently SANKYO)’s “Fever”, which appeared as the first DigiPachi machine in history, brought the gameplay of slot machines to Pachinko as mentioned earlier. The symbol display device used a “drum” that resembled the reels of a slot machine, and the drum-type feeper machine became widely recognized as a synonym for the company for many years. The first revolution in drum-type fever machines occurred in 1989, when the turbulent Showa era ended and the Heisei era began. The “Fever Lexus” series would later create a huge boom with “a method of promoting single-shot rotations in the morning.” For more details, see the link below, but by using a stepping motor, which is familiar from pachislot machines, it has become possible to control the drum freely, and the variety of expressions such as reach effects has expanded rapidly. Now, drum-type digipachi was Sankyo’s specialty for a long time, but in the 1990s, other manufacturers started selling it, such as Nugin’s “Excite Cam Cam” and “Excite Jack,” and the largest pachislot manufacturer, Universal’s “GIGA” and “GENESIS.” Drum-type machines appeared one following another. ■Evolution and diversification of DigiPachi display devices Part 2 7-segment digital In the early 1980s, DigiPachi products from other manufacturers appeared one following another in response to Sankyo’s “Fever,” which caused a huge boom that became a social phenomenon. Competing manufacturers other than Sankyo used 7-segment digital, a general-purpose component used in various electronic devices, for display devices. Initially, they were all simple red and one color, but towards the end of the 1980s, two-color red and green digital types increased, starting with Maruhon’s “Sleep Part 3” and “Pearl Seven.” Around the same time, display formats began to diversify, and Newgin released digital products such as “New Yankee III” and “News Snowbirds IV,” which had 3-digit digital data in two colors arranged crosswise in a vertical and horizontal cross pattern. Various variations have appeared and become a hot topic, including the 4-digit one and even the “Excite 123,” which has digital data arranged in fan shapes of 1, 2, and 3 digits.
