Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spinning drum type gaming machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A spinning-type gaming machine is provided with a plurality of symbol display portions capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of gaming symbols in a substantially box-shaped outer frame with an open front, and is pivotally attached to the front side of the outer frame. Each front frame is provided with a symbol display window corresponding to each symbol display section, and the variation of a plurality of symbol display sections is started based on the player's operation of the start lever, and lottery is performed by the lottery means, and based on the lottery result. Advantageous profit for the player, provided that the stop permission means outputs the stop permission signal in the predetermined winning mode and the stop symbol of the symbol display section stopped by the player's operation of the stop button becomes the predetermined winning mode. It is designed to generate a condition.

Further, in this type of spinning machine, a display window portion is provided on the front frame, for example, above the symbol display window, and the display window portion has, for example, a winning mode or the number of medals paid out at the time of winning. There is known a display plate on which predetermined information is displayed, or a display plate on which electric display means such as liquid crystal display means for variably displaying an effect image is arranged.

[0004]

In the conventional spinning type game machine, the display window and the electrical display means are provided in the front frame body, so that the display panel and the electrical display are provided. It is necessary to prepare a dedicated front frame for each model equipped with means, and for example, when changing from a model equipped with a display board to a model equipped with electrical display means, it is necessary to replace the entire front frame. However, there is a drawback that the cost associated with development and model change becomes enormous.

Further, even if the display plate and the electrical display means are interchangeable in one front frame, the design of the front side of the front frame cannot be easily changed correspondingly, and the model It also had the drawback that it was difficult to appeal to each individuality.

In view of such problems, the present invention makes it possible to easily replace the display plate and the electric display means without replacing the entire front frame, and the display window without replacing the entire front frame. An object of the present invention is to provide a spinning drum type game machine in which the design of the portion and its peripheral portion can be easily changed.
