When the big hit signal from 1 is input, the unit number of the gaming machine 10 to which the big hit state is given is confirmed by reading the information about the unit number from the big hit signal. Then, the unit number and the contents of the big hit announcement stored in the memory 51a are read, and the announcement signal is output to the second speaker unit 20 of each gaming machine 10 via the amplifier 45. At this time, for the gaming machine 10 in which the big hit state occurs,
The hall management computer 51 outputs an announcement signal different from that of the other gaming machines 10.

Then, each gaming machine 10 which is not in the big hit state
From the second speaker unit 20 of, the announcement "Congratulations to our customers in the XX range, congratulations on the big hit" is issued as a voice. And the gaming machine 1 in which the big hit state has occurred
From 0, for example, "Customers in the XX range, here is a big hit, isn't it?"
An announcement different from is issued. As a result, the player who has won the big hit state can raise the sense of superiority by issuing an announcement different from the other gaming machines 10.

When the player who is playing the game wants to stand up for a meal break or the like, he pushes the special purpose switch 33 provided on the upper bowl plate 15. Then, an operation signal is input to the hall management computer 51 via the machine side terminal 49. It should be noted that this operation signal is provided with information regarding the machine number.

The hall management computer 51 reads the information about the machine number from the operation signal and confirms the machine number of the gaming machine 10. Then, the unit number and the announcement content for game interruption stored in the memory 51a are read, and the announcement signal is output to the second speaker unit 20 of the gaming machine 10 that has output the operation signal. Then, from the second speaker unit 20 of the gaming machine 10, for example, "customers in the XX range, 1
It's a break for time. " Also at this time, since the second speaker unit 20 for in-house announcement is provided in the game machine 10, it is possible to individually provide necessary information as compared with the in-house speaker provided on the ceiling or the like of the game hall. .

In this way, different sound information such as sound effects, on-site announcements, music, etc. are output from the plurality of speaker units 19 to 21 provided in the game machine 10, and only the sound effects are provided in the game machine 10. The player can obtain various kinds of information, unlike the conventional case in which the speaker emits the information.

The second and third speaker units 20, 21 for outputting music and announcements in the venue are provided on the upper bowl 15 of the gaming machine 10 and sound is output from a position in the vicinity of the player. As compared with the conventional case where the speaker is provided on the ceiling or the like in the game arcade, the sound is not scratched by noise, and the player can suitably hear the sound information content output from each gaming machine 10.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) In the above embodiment, one gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of speaker units 19 to 21, and the speaker units 19 to 21 can output different sound information such as a sound effect, an announcement in the hall, and music. I chose For this reason, unlike the conventional method in which the in-house speaker is installed on the ceiling or the like in the game hall, the information from the speaker units 19 to 21 is not difficult for the player to hear due to other noise, and various information is transmitted from the vicinity of the player. It can be suitably provided.
