  Since the display surface of the display device that displays the battle type game screen is shared by a plurality of players, it is usually arranged so that the display surface is substantially horizontal. In the case of the game machine arranged so that the display surface is substantially horizontal in this way, the game screen cannot be confirmed unless it is looked from above, so that the game screen is difficult to see, and the display device and the game displayed there The screen is inconspicuous. Furthermore, a speaker unit may be disposed on the upper surface of the game machine housing due to problems of sound effects or manufacturing costs. In such a case, since the line of sight is blocked by the speaker unit, the display device and the display surface are less noticeable.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device and a game machine that can make a game screen displayed thereon stand out.

  The game machine of the present invention has at least one housing (2) for housing various devices therein, a display device (3) for displaying a game screen on a display surface (3D), and an enclosure part (4E). Two speaker units (4), and the display device is configured such that the display surface formed with an inclination that draws an upward gradient when viewed from the front of the housing 2 forms an upper surface of the housing. The speaker unit is provided in the casing, and the speaker unit forms an upper surface of the casing at a position on a side of the display device, the highest position being lower than the display surface of the display device. , Provided in the housing.

  According to the present invention, the display device and the speaker unit are arranged on the upper surface side of the casing of the game machine. Since the display device is formed with an inclination that draws an upward gradient when viewed from the front of the casing, that is, when viewed from the player positioned in front of the casing, the player can display the screen to check the game screen. There is no need to look into it. Further, the reflection of light from above can be suppressed as compared with the case where the display device is arranged substantially horizontally. Furthermore, the speaker unit having the enclosure part is disposed so as to form the upper surface of the casing, and is positioned relatively close to the player. For this reason, an acoustic effect can be improved. On the other hand, since the speaker unit has an enclosure portion, a certain amount of space is required for placement, but the highest position is displayed on the display device by using the inclination formed on the display surface of the display device. It arrange | positions so that it may become lower than a surface. For this reason, it is located so that the display surface of a display apparatus may become the highest compared with a housing | casing and a speaker. Thereby, it is possible to make the display device and the game screen displayed thereon more conspicuous than the housing and the speaker while improving the acoustic effect.

  In one aspect of the game machine of the present invention, a shelf plate (25) that divides the inside of the housing up and down is provided inside the housing, and the display device includes the display device. A base (28) supported from below so as to form the inclination on the display surface of the apparatus may be disposed on the shelf board so as to be interposed between the shelf board and the shelf board. In this case, the height position of the display surface of the display device can be freely set by a base interposed between the shelf and the shelf provided inside the housing.
