Conversion means for converting the position of the diffusing means from a front position of the light emitting means to a position covering a predetermined image displayed on the image display means according to display contents in the display game; and Conversion control means for performing conversion control of the conversion means based on the lottery result.

  The present invention is effective when applied to pachinko gaming machines, pachislot gaming machines, and the like. Here, for pachinko gaming machines, the “image display means” means an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device that is provided in the approximate center of the game board and plays a variable display game. "" Means that when a big win is won, the special winning opening is converted to an open state to generate a special gaming state in which the game ball is easy to win.

  On the other hand, for the pachislot machine, the “image display means” is provided in addition to the reel that performs the main variable display game, and an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device that performs auxiliary display corresponding to the main variable display game “Granting predetermined game value” means, for example, a game with a higher probability of winning a small role than usual when winning a BB (Big Bonus) or RB (Regular Bonus) This means that a special gaming state that can be executed is generated.

  Further, if “the position covering the predetermined image displayed on the image display means” is a position covering the image display surface (position overlapping in the front-rear direction), a part of the image display surface is also covered partially. The position may be included, and the position where the result mode corresponding to the lottery result of the lottery means is displayed is included. For example, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, the display position of the result mode of the variable display game and the display position of an image (such as a notice effect character) for notifying the lottery result of the lottery means are applicable, and in the case of a pachislot machine, the internal winning The display position of the character displayed corresponding to the type of the winning prize, the display position of the result mode of the auxiliary variable display game for notifying whether or not the bonus winning is won, and the like are applicable.

  According to a second aspect of the invention, the light emitting means has a plurality of light emitting sections, and the light emission control means selects the number of light emitting sections to emit light according to the lottery result of the lottery means.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, when the conversion control means wins a prize as a result of the lottery by the lottery means, the diffusion means has a higher probability than when the prize is not won. Conversion control of the conversion means is performed so that the position covers the image.

  In the invention according to claim 4, the conversion control means moves the conversion means alternately in the conversion direction and the return direction a plurality of times in a state where the diffusion means covers the front side of the light emitting means. Is.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, when the holding unit is formed of a translucent member, and the conversion control of the conversion unit is performed so that the diffusion unit is positioned to cover the predetermined image, The diffusing unit is configured to partially cover a part of the image display unit that is spaced inward from the edge of the image display surface.

  The invention according to claim 6 includes a plurality of the conversion means, and each conversion means is arranged such that the respective diffusion means overlap in the front-rear direction, and the conversion control means individually performs the conversion operation of each conversion means. It is configured to be controllable.

  The invention according to claim 7 is characterized in that the diffusion means is rotatably mounted on the holding means, an operating member capable of contacting the diffusion means is provided in the middle of the conversion path of the conversion means, and the conversion operation of the conversion means The diffusing unit is configured to rotate by moving part of the diffusing unit in contact with the actuating member in the middle of the process.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the position of the diffusing unit is converted from the position covering the front of the light emitting unit to the position covering the front of the image display unit, so that it is simply as in the invention described in Patent Document 1. Compared to moving the movable member to the front position of the image display means, it is possible to change the appearance of the light emitting means at the same time as the change in the appearance of the image display surface, and to produce a more interesting effect it can.

  In addition, when the position of the diffusing unit is converted to the front position of the image display unit, not only the image display surface is simply blocked, but also an expression of whether or not the image display itself (result mode, etc.) can be recognized. This makes it possible to prolong the player's interest and produce an extremely high expectation rather than simply hiding the image display with a movable member. Further, normally, since the diffusing means covers the front of the light emitting means, the light from the light emitting means can be effectively scattered, while when the diffusing means is converted to the front position of the image display means, Since the light emitting means is exposed, the appearance changes significantly, and more various effects are possible.

  According to the second aspect of the invention, the number of light emitting units that emit light in the light emitting means changes according to the lottery result of the lottery means, so the player pays attention to the light emission mode of the light emitting means, and the light emitting means The production by becomes more effective.

  For example, when the diffusing means covers the front of the light emitting means, the number of light emitting parts emitting light cannot be recognized, but the degree of difference in light intensity may be recognized. It is possible to realize a highly interesting game content such as predicting a game result. On the other hand, when the position of the diffusing unit is converted to the front of the image display unit, the number of light emitting units that are emitting light by exposing the light emitting unit can be clearly recognized. Further expectation can be given to the result, and it is possible to produce an extremely high expectation.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the position of the diffusing means is converted to the front position of the image display means, the lottery result of the lottery means may be a winning prize (for example, a big hit) Therefore, the player's expectation can be enhanced by the conversion operation itself of the conversion means.

  According to the invention of claim 4, since the converting means is repeatedly finely moved in a state where the diffusing means covers the front of the light emitting means, the light emission from the light emitting means is novel that is not conventional. It is possible to enhance the production effect.

  Further, when the lottery result of the lottery means is highly likely to be a big hit, after the conversion means is finely moved, the conversion control of the conversion means is performed so that the diffusion means is positioned in front of the image display means. If it does in this way, a player's expectation can be changed with the conversion operation | movement of a conversion means, and an interest can be improved.

  According to the invention of claim 5, when only a part (important part) inside the image display surface of the image display means is covered with the diffusing means, the portion covered with the holding means is completely shielded. It is possible to prevent the image display from becoming difficult to see.

  According to the invention of claim 6, by providing a plurality of converting means so that each diffusing means is superposed in the front-rear direction, the light-emitting modes from the light-emitting means can be made more diverse and the decoration effect is enhanced. Can do. Also, since the plurality of conversion means are configured so that the conversion operation can be individually controlled, it is possible to change the player's expectation according to the conversion state (how many conversion means have been converted, etc.). Can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, the appearance of the image display can be changed variously depending on the conversion state of the conversion means. For example, if each conversion means is provided with diffusion means having different diffusivities, it is possible to diversify the light emission mode of the light emission means and the appearance of the image display surface.

  According to the invention of claim 7, when the position of the diffusing means is converted to the front position of the image display means, that is, the diffusing means covers the front of important information related to the result of the variable display game in the image display means. In this state, it is possible to realize a state in which the diffusing means is rotating, and it is possible to hide the image display surface in a highly interesting state. In addition, since the rotation of the diffusing unit gradually becomes gentle and stops before long, the image display can hardly be recognized at the initial stage of conversion, but as time passes, the image display gradually changes to a state that is easy to recognize. It is possible to produce an extremely interesting performance. Further, a dedicated drive source for rotating the diffusing unit is not necessary, and the diffusing unit can be efficiently rotated using the conversion operation.

In this case, the display of a character or the like corresponding to the type of prize winning in the inside is covered by the diffusing means 3a.

  FIG. 5 shows a start lever sensor 6S input to the game control device 50, detection signals from the reel stop sensors 7Sa, 7Sb, 7Sc, control signals output from the effect control device 30 to the image display device 2 and the light emitting means 31, 4 is a timing chart showing a variation pattern of the conversion means 3.

  First, when a detection signal is input from the start lever sensor 6S based on the operation of the start lever 6, a variation display game by the reel 4 is started, and at the same time, a predetermined auxiliary variation display game is executed in the image display device 2. At the same time, the LED is turned on in the predetermined light emission mode in the light emitting means 32 (timing (a)). Next, when a detection signal is input from the reel stop sensors 7Sa, 7Sb, 7Sc based on the operation of the reel stop buttons 7a, 7b, 7c, the change display of the reel corresponding to the operated reel stop button is stopped. (Timing (b), (c), (d)). Then, after all the reels 4 are stopped, the auxiliary variation display game in the image display device 2 displays the result mode and ends (timing (e)), and then the light emitting means 32 is turned off (timing (f)). .

  Corresponding to the variable display game by the reel 4, the image display device 2 and the light emitting means 32 are controlled as described above. At this time, the conversion means 3 is controlled according to any one of the following fluctuation patterns 1 to 3.

  Specifically, the fluctuation pattern 1 is a pattern that does not change the conversion means 3. In the variation pattern 1, first, when the variation display game by the reel 4 is started, as shown in FIG. 6A, an auxiliary variation display game in which the dice rotates in the image display device 2 is executed, and the light emitting means. 32 is lit. At this time, since the light emitting means 32 is covered with the diffusing means 3a, the light from the light emitting means 32 is diffused by the diffusing means 3a.

  Next, when all the reels 4 are stopped, as shown in FIG. 6B, after the auxiliary variation display game in the image display device 2 displays the result mode and ends, the light emitting means 32 is turned off. In FIG. 6 (b), the player's dice roll is “2”, which is smaller than the opponent's dice roll “4”, so that the bonus winning is not won internally.

  The fluctuation pattern 2 is a pattern in which the converting means 3 is repeatedly finely moved in a state where the diffusing means 3 a covers the front side of the light emitting means 32. That is, the production control device 30 as the conversion control means performs conversion control so that the conversion means 3 is alternately moved a plurality of times in the conversion direction (image display device 2 side) and the return direction (light emission means 32 side). I have to.

  In the variation pattern 2, first, when the variation display game by the reel 4 is started, as shown in FIG. 7A, an auxiliary variation display game in which the dice rotates in the image display device 2 is executed, and the light emitting means. 32 is lit. At this time, since the light emitting means 32 is covered with the diffusing means 3a, the light from the light emitting means 32 is diffused by the diffusing means 3a.

  Next, at the time when the first reel stop button is operated (timing (b)), the fine movement of the conversion means 3 is started as shown in FIG. 7B, and then the conversion is performed until all the reels 4 are stopped. The fine movement of the means 3 is continued.

  Next, when all the reels 4 are stopped, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the auxiliary variation display game in the image display device 2 is displayed with the result form, and then the light emitting means 32 is turned off at the same time. The fine movement operation of the conversion means 3 is also stopped (timing (f)). In FIG. 7C, the player's dice roll is “3”, which is smaller than the opponent's dice roll “4”, so that the bonus winning is not won internally.

  Thus, according to the variation pattern 2, the conversion means 3 is repeatedly finely moved in a state where the diffusing means 3a covers the front of the light emitting means 32, so that the light emission from the light emitting means 32 is conventionally performed. It is possible to improve the production effect.

  The variation pattern 3 is a pattern in which the conversion unit 3 is rotated to the image display device 2 side after the conversion unit 3 is finely moved with the diffusion unit 3 a covering the front side of the light emitting unit 32. That is, the effect control device 30 as the conversion control means converts the diffusion means 3a so as to cover a predetermined image displayed on the image display device, here a dice image, based on the lottery result of the lottery means. 3 conversion control is performed. At this time, the diffusing unit 3a partially covers a part spaced inward from the edge of the image display surface. However, since the holding unit 3b is colorless and transparent, an image display other than the portion covered by the diffusing unit 3a is displayed. Can be seen as it is.

  In the variation pattern 3, first, when the variation display game by the reel 4 is started, as shown in FIG. 8A, an auxiliary variation display game in which the dice rotates in the image display device 2 is executed, and the light emitting means. 32 is lit. At this time, since the light emitting means 32 is covered with the diffusing means 3a, the light from the light emitting means 32 is diffused by the diffusing means 3a.

  Next, when the first reel stop button is operated (timing (b)), the fine movement of the conversion means 3 is started as shown in FIG. 8B, and then the third reel stop button is operated. Until then, the fine movement of the conversion means 3 is continued.

  Next, when the third reel stop button is operated (timing (d)), as shown in FIG. 8C, the conversion means 3 is rotated about 90 ° toward the image display device 2 side. That is, the position of the diffusing unit 3 a is converted from the front position of the light emitting unit 32 to the dice display position in the image display device 2. At this time, the display of the dice covered by the diffusing means 3a cannot be clearly recognized, but can be recognized to some extent. For example, if the number of dice rolls is clearly different, such as "1" and "6", it will be possible to recognize which roll is larger through the diffusion means 3a. As the number of eyes increases, such as “4”, “5”, and “6”, it becomes impossible to identify which of the larger eyes is due to the diffusion of light.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, since the light emitting means 32 covered by the diffusing means 3a appears until the third reel stop button is operated, the light emission mode by the light emitting means 32 can be recognized. become able to. In FIG. 8C, ◯ representing the light emitting means 32 indicates a lighted LED, and ● indicates a lighted LED. That is, in FIG.8 (c), it becomes the light emission aspect with which 1 LED of the center is light-extinguished and 12 surrounding LEDs are lighted.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (d), the auxiliary variation display game in the image display device 2 is displayed with the result form, and the light emission means 32 is turned off, and at the same time, the conversion means 3 is returned to the original position. (Timing (f)). Then, the outcome of the dice as a result mode of the auxiliary variation display game can be clearly recognized. In FIG. 8D, the player's dice roll is “6”, which is larger than the opponent's dice roll “4”, so that the bonus winning is won internally.

  Thus, according to the variation pattern 3, the position of the diffusing unit 3a is converted from the front side of the light emitting unit 32 to the front position of the image display device 2, so that the light emitting unit simultaneously with the change in the appearance of the image display surface. It is possible to change the appearance of 32, and it will be a highly interesting production. Further, since the diffusing unit 3 a covers the front of the light emitting unit 32 in normal times, the light from the light emitting unit 32 can be effectively scattered, while the diffusing unit 3 a is positioned at the front position of the image display device 2. When converted, the light emitting means 32 is exposed, so that the appearance changes and a variety of effects are possible.

  Further, after the conversion means 3 is finely moved, the conversion means 3 is controlled so that the diffusion means 3a is positioned in front of the image display device 2, so that the player's expectation can be obtained by the conversion operation of the conversion means 3. I am changing and trying to improve interest.

  In the present embodiment, the conversion means 3 is converted by the above-described three variation patterns. Further, depending on which variation pattern is executed, the expectation that the bonus winning is won internally will be different. ing.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the bonus winning is internally won, after the conversion means 3 is finely moved at a rate of 55%, the rotating variation pattern 3 is selected and at a rate of 35%. The change pattern 2 in which the conversion means 3 performs only fine movement is selected, and the change pattern 1 in which the conversion operation of the conversion means 3 is not performed at a rate of 10% is selected. On the contrary, when the bonus winning is not won internally, the changing means 3 is finely moved at a rate of 10%, and then the turning variation pattern 3 is selected, and the converting means 3 is only finely moved at a rate of 35%. The fluctuation pattern 2 is selected, and the fluctuation pattern 1 that does not perform the conversion operation of the conversion means 3 is selected at a rate of 55%. That is, it can be expected that the bonus winning is won in the order of variation pattern 1 → variation pattern 2 → variation pattern 3.

  As described above, the conversion operation of the conversion means 3 is developed by developing the conversion operation of the conversion means 3 with a higher probability when the bonus prize is won as a result of the internal lottery than when not winning. Can raise the player's expectation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of LEDs that emit light is selected according to the result of the internal lottery by the effect control device 30 as the light emission control means. Thereby, the player pays attention to the light emission mode of the light emission means 32, and the effect by the light emission means 32 becomes more effective. Further, when the conversion means 3 is converted to the image display device 2 side and the light emitting means 32 appears, various expectations can be given to the player from the number of LEDs emitting light.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the number of LEDs to be emitted is controlled when the bonus winning is won as a result of the internal lottery, and the number of LEDs to be emitted when the bonus winning is not won. Control so that there is less. According to FIG. 10, if the number of light-emitting LEDs is 8, the possibility of winning a bonus prize is very low. However, as the number of light-emitting LEDs increases, an internal prize is won. If all 13 LEDs are lit, it means that 100% bonus winning has been won internally.

  In the state shown in FIG. 8B, since the diffusing unit 3a covers the front of the light emitting unit 32, the number of light emitting LEDs cannot be recognized, but the degree of difference in light intensity can be recognized. Thus, the player can predict the result of the variable display game. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 8 (c), the player can recognize the light emission mode by the light emission means 32, so that the reliability with respect to the predicted result of the variable display game is changed. Become.

  As described above, before the result mode is derived in the auxiliary variation display game, the player can have various expectations for the bonus winning by the light emission mode of the light emission means 32. For example, in FIG. 8C, since 12 LEDs emit light, it can be expected that a bonus winning is won internally with a considerable probability.

  Note that the start timing of the auxiliary variation display game in the image display device 2, the lighting timing of the light emitting means 32, and the operation timing of the converting means 3 may be other than the patterns described above.

  For example, the auxiliary variation display game is not started at the operation timing of the start lever 6, but after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start lever 6 was operated, or at the operation timing of the reel stop button 7 (any stop operation may be performed). You may make it do. Similarly, the light emitting means 32 may also be lit after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start lever 6 was operated, or at the operation timing of the reel stop button 7 (any stop operation).

  Further, regarding the converting means 3, the fine movement operation and the rotation operation may be started at a timing other than the operation timing of the reel stop button 7 described above. For example, in the fluctuation patterns 2 and 3, the fine movement operation is started at the operation timing (timing (a)) of the start lever 6, or in the fluctuation pattern 3, the first or second reel stop operation (timing (b), ( In c)), the turning operation of the conversion means 3 may be started.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the auxiliary | assistant fluctuation display game, the lighting of the light emission means 32, and the conversion operation | movement of the conversion means 3 are complete | finished within the period of 1 game, each said operation | movement is continued during several games. You may do it.

  For example, the auxiliary variation display game is started in the first game, the auxiliary variation display game is not ended after the game is ended, and the light emission means 32 is turned on in the second game and the progress of the auxiliary variation display game is developed. Even after the game is over, the auxiliary variation display game and the lighting means 32 are kept on. Next, the fine movement operation of the conversion means 3 is started in the third game, and the auxiliary variation display game is further developed. Even after the game ends, the auxiliary variation display game, the lighting of the light emitting means 32, and the fine movement operation of the converting means 3 are continued. Next, the rotation operation of the conversion means 3 is started in the fourth game, and the auxiliary variation display game is further developed. Then, after deriving the result mode of the auxiliary variation display game at the end of the game, the light emission means 32 is turned off and the conversion means 3 is returned to the light emission means 32 side. That is, the effect control means 30 as the light emission control means continuously performs the lighting operation of the light emission means 32 in the predetermined number of games among the plurality of games, and the effect control means 30 as the conversion control means is at least the final in the plurality of games. In the game, the conversion means 3 is rotated to the image display device 2 side. The auxiliary variation display game, the lighting of the light emitting means 32, and the converting operation of the converting means 3 may be started at the operation timing of the start lever 6 or the reel stop button 7.

  In this way, it is possible to realize a continuous effect over a plurality of games. For example, when an internal winning (bonus flag is established) is won for a bonus prize, a continuous effect is started with the game (bonus flag established game) as the first game, and it is informed that the bonus winning is internally won at the end of four games. Will be. On the other hand, when the bonus winning is not won internally, the above-described continuous effect may not be continued until the fourth game. Further, as described above, when the auxiliary variation display game is performed over a plurality of games, it corresponds to the bonus winning in the internal winning in the game before the result mode of the auxiliary variation display game is derived (for example, the first to third games). When the symbol combination form is formed on the reel 4, the above operations are naturally not continued, and the operation is switched to the operation when the bonus winning is obtained.

  Further, in the above embodiment, after the third reel stop button is operated, before the result mode of the auxiliary variation display game is displayed or before the conversion member 3 is returned to the original position, the next game When a betting operation is performed, it is determined that the production is canceled, and when a winning is won internally, an operation corresponding to each winning (notification of winning a bonus winning or the like) is started. On the other hand, when no winning is won, the converting means 3 is immediately returned to the normal position (the front position of the light emitting means 32), and the light emitting means 32 and the image display device 2 are started to operate normally. Control may be performed so that the next game cannot be moved until the presentation ends.

  Further, in the state shown in FIG. 8C, after one (for example, the left side) conversion means 3 is restored, the other (for example, the right side) conversion means 3 may be restored.

(Second Embodiment)
In the second embodiment, a plurality of conversion means are provided in the first embodiment. For simplicity, a case where two conversion means are provided will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of conversion means 301 and 302 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11A, the two conversion means 301 and 302 have diffusion means 301a and 302a having different diffusion rates. The diffusing means 301a and 302a are cut differently. For example, the diffusing means 302a is cut larger than the diffusing means 301a so that the diffusing rate is reduced. As shown in FIG. 11B, these conversion means 301 and 302 are arranged such that the conversion means 302 is the front and the conversion means 301 is the rear so that the respective diffusion means 301a and 302a overlap in the front-rear direction. . At this time, the conversion means 301 and the conversion means 302 are attached to the gaming machine main body so as to be rotated about the same axis (attachment members may not be the same).

  Moreover, the conversion drive means 33 is provided corresponding to each conversion means 301 and 302, and the production control device 30 as the conversion control means individually performs conversion control on the two conversion means 301 and 302. It is configured to be able to.

  FIG. 12 is a timing chart illustrating an example of the conversion operation of the conversion units 301 and 302, and FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the conversion operation of the conversion units 301 and 302. In FIG. 12, detection signals from the start lever sensor 6S, reel stop sensors 7Sa, 7Sb, and 7Sc that are input to the game control device 50, and controls that are output from the effect control device 30 to the image display device 2 and the light emitting means 31. Since the signal timing chart is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 13, the display of the auxiliary variation display game on the image display device 2 is the same as in the first embodiment (FIG. 8), and is omitted.

  First, when the variable display game using the reel 4 is started, the light emitting means 32 is turned on as shown in FIG. At this time, the light emitting means 32 is covered with two diffusion means 301a and 302a.

  Next, when the second reel stop button is operated (timing (c)), as shown in FIG. 13B, the conversion means 302 is rotated by about 90 ° toward the image display device 2 side. At this time, since the diffusion rate of the diffusion means 302a is small, the display of the dice covered by the diffusion means 302a can be recognized to some extent. That is, at this time, the dice variation display in the auxiliary variation display game can be recognized. On the other hand, the light emitting means 32 is covered only by the diffusing means 301a, and the light emission mode changes.

  Next, when the third reel stop button is operated (timing (d)), as shown in FIG. 13C, the conversion unit 301 is rotated about 90 ° toward the image display device 2 side. At this time, since the diffusion rate of the diffusion means 301a is large, the display of the dice covered by the diffusion means 301a and 302a can hardly be recognized. On the other hand, until the third reel stop button is operated, the light emitting means 32 covered by the diffusing means 301a appears, so that the light emission mode by the light emitting means 32 can be recognized.

  Next, at the timing (f), the auxiliary variation display game in the image display device 2 displays the result mode and ends, and the light emission means 32 is turned off and the conversion means 301 and 302 are returned to their original positions. Then, the outcome of the dice as a result mode of the auxiliary variation display game can be clearly recognized.

  Thus, according to 2nd Embodiment, since the light emission mode from the light emission means 32 can be made more colorful, a decoration effect can be heightened. Further, the appearance of the image display on the image display device 2 can be changed variously depending on the conversion states of the conversion units 301 and 302 (how many conversion units have been converted, etc.).

  Furthermore, since the conversion means 301 and 302 are configured to be individually controllable, it is possible to change the player's expectation according to the conversion state of the conversion means. For example, when the bonus winning is won as a result of the internal lottery, the number of conversion means for performing the conversion operation may be increased with a higher probability than the case of not winning. Further, when the conversion means 301 and 302 are restored from the state of FIG. 13C, if one conversion means 301 is first restored and then the other conversion means 302 is restored, the result is gradually increased. Since the aspect can be recognized, the interest can be improved.

  Note that the conversion operations of the conversion units 301 and 302 are not limited to the above-described patterns, and for example, the fine movements of the conversion units can be combined as in the first embodiment. In this case, the conversion means 301 and 302 may be finely moved when the first reel stop button is operated (timing (b)). Moreover, you may make it receive 3 or more conversion means.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a conversion operation of the conversion unit 3 according to the third embodiment.
In the third embodiment, the diffusion means 3a of the conversion means 3 is rotated according to the conversion operation in the first embodiment. That is, the conversion means 3 is configured by rotatably attaching the diffusion means 3a to the holding means 3b. Further, since the actuating member capable of contacting the diffusing unit 3a is provided in the middle of the conversion path of the converting unit 3, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated drive source for rotating the diffusing unit.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (a), normally, the conversion means 3 is stationary with the diffusing means 3a covering the front side of the light emitting means 32.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the converting means 3 is rotated to the image display device 2 side, the operating member 41 comes into contact with the outer peripheral portion of the diffusing means 3a, and the conversion of the diffusing means 3a is performed on that portion. A force in the direction opposite to the direction is applied, and the diffusing means 3a rotates counterclockwise. Then, as shown in FIG. 14C, after the conversion unit 3 is rotated about 90 ° to the image display device 2 side, the rotation of the diffusion unit 3a gradually slows down and stops. That is, at the beginning of the conversion control of the conversion means 3, the image display covered by the diffusion means 3a can hardly be recognized, but gradually becomes easier to recognize over time.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, when the position of the diffusing unit 3a is converted to the front position of the image display device 2, a state in which the diffusing unit 3a is rotating can be realized. The image display surface can be hidden in a high state.

  As mentioned above, although the invention made | formed by this inventor was concretely demonstrated based on embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.

  Although the first to third embodiments have described the pachislot machine as a gaming machine, the present invention can also be applied to a pachinko gaming machine. In this case, the image display device 2 in which the auxiliary variation display game is executed in the above-described embodiment is an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device that is provided in the approximate center of the game board and performs the variation display game. In addition, the position covered by the diffusing means in the image display device is the display position of the result mode of the variable display game and the display position of the image (notice effect character etc.) for notifying the lottery result of the lottery means.
