Further, it is possible to prevent light or the like from being reflected on the lens 214, and to improve the visibility of the image through the lens 214.

  The display control means (production control device 40) controls to display the production image 250 in a region overlapping the lens unit 211 in the display unit 42, and the lens 214 is a convex lens that enlarges the production image 250. The image 250 includes an effect display unit 251 and is enlarged by the lens 214 so that the periphery of the effect display unit 251 coincides with the periphery of the penetrating part 213.

  Therefore, the display control means displays the effect image 250 in the area overlapping the lens unit 211 in the display unit 42, so that the image display device separate from the image display device 41 on the back surface is provided inside the frame member 212. Shown and can improve the fun of the game. Further, since the lens 214 is a convex lens that magnifies the effect image 250, the integration degree of the display elements constituting the display unit 42 that can be seen through the lens 214 is different from the integration degree of the display elements that can be seen without passing through the lens 214. Therefore, it can be shown on an image display device having a different texture, and the interest can be improved. Furthermore, since the depth of the image seen through the lens 214 and the image seen without passing through the lens 214 look different, it is as if there is a display device separate from the rear image display device 41 inside the frame member 212. Can show. Further, the effect image 250 has an effect display unit 251 and is enlarged by the lens 214 so that the periphery of the effect display unit 251 coincides with the periphery of the penetrating part 213. The visible image and the image that does not pass through the lens 214 are continuous without a sense of incongruity, and the decorativeness can be improved.

  The display control means (production control device 40) displays a variable display game that displays a plurality of symbols as an effect image, and pauses the fluctuation of the variable display game when the lens unit 211 moves. Yes.

  Further, the display control means displays a variable display game that displays a plurality of symbols as the effect image 250, and temporarily stops the change of the variable display game when the lens unit 211 moves, so that the processing load of the control circuit is reduced. Can be reduced.
