  As described above, by providing the speaker units 12 and 12B including the light emitting means 11 in the decoration portion 32, various rendering effects can be obtained by combining the sound output from the speaker 1 and the light emission mode of the light emitting means 11. In addition, since the frame 7 of the speaker units 12 and 12B is formed of a light-transmitting resin, there is nothing that obstructs the irradiation of the LED 14 and the portion where the speaker 1 is located does not stand out. Without damaging the appearance, the speaker units 12 and 12B can be used as part of the design, and a continuous electric decoration with a high decoration effect is also possible, and the pachinko gaming machine 100 with a more decorative effect can be obtained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the game board 27 is provided with a belt-like light emitting portion 45, and the partition plate 35 of the decoration portion 32 is provided so as to be continuous in association with the belt-like light emitting portion 45. Since it is visually recognized that the light emission mode of the partition plate 35 is continuously emitted from the light emission of the belt-like light emitting unit 45 on the game board 27, the decoration effect and the effect effect can be enhanced over the entire gaming machine.

  In the above embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine has been described as an example of the gaming machine. However, the present invention is also applied to a sparrow ball gaming machine, an arrangement ball gaming machine, and a revolving or image-type slot gaming machine. be able to. Further, the present invention is not limited to the contents shown in the embodiments, and various forms can be implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention.
