  Now, regarding the decoration of the game hall, it is considered that the change of the decoration form is important. In other words, even if the decoration itself is flashy, if it is monotonous with little change, the impression given to the player will gradually fade, and a satisfactory effect will not be obtained.

  In addition, the area constructed by arranging gaming machines is called an island. The space of islands available for decoration is limited, and it is very important to determine how effective decorations can be applied to the island when a gaming machine is newly replaced, for example. This is an important issue.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this situation, The objective is to provide the apparatus which implement | achieves the more elaborate decoration, utilizing the space of a game hall effectively.

  The invention described in claim 1 of the present application is a translucent case body arranged at an upper part of the gaming machine in a decoration device for a gaming hall that decorates a gaming hall in which gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are arranged. And a light emitting means arranged inside the case body, and a projector arranged on the front side of the case body, and a first decorative form for causing the case body to emit light by turning on the light emitting means; And a second decoration form for projecting an image on the front surface of the case body by the projector.

  The invention described in claim 2 of the present application is that, in claim 1, the case bodies are respectively arranged with respect to the plurality of gaming machines, and the side surfaces of the adjacent case bodies face each other with a gap. The video of the projector is a decoration device for a game hall configured to straddle the front of the adjacent case bodies.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the apparatus which implement | achieves the more elaborate decoration can be provided, utilizing the space of a game hall effectively.

It is a front view which shows the game hall where the game machine was lined up in the Example of this invention. It is a top view which shows the decoration device of a game hall concerning the Example of this invention. It is a side view which shows the decoration device of a game hall concerning the Example of this invention. It is a cross-sectional view which concerns on the Example of this invention and shows the inside of a case body. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which concerns on the Example of this invention and shows the inside of a case body.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The decoration device 100 of this example is for decorating a game hall in which gaming machines 2 such as pachinko machines and slot machines are arranged. FIG. 1 shows one island 1 constructed by arranging a plurality of pachinko machines in a hall of a game hall. A display device 3 is provided at the top of each gaming machine 2. Furthermore, a curtain plate 4 is provided on the upper portion of the display device 3. Inside the curtain 4, a device for supplying pachinko balls to the gaming machine 2 is provided.

  The decoration device 100 of this example is disposed on the front side of the case body 110, a translucent case body 110 disposed at the upper part of the gaming machine 2, a plurality of light emitting means 120 disposed inside the case body 110, and the case body 110. The projector 130 is provided. The light emitting means 120 is provided on a support 140 fixed to the curtain plate 4 by screwing. The case body 110 is configured to be detachably attached to the support body 140 by screwing or fitting to the support body 140. The display device 3 is located between the gaming machine 2 and the case body 110.

  The decoration device 100 has a first decoration form in which the case body 110 emits light by turning on the light emitting means 120, and a second decoration form in which an image is projected on the front surface of the case body 110 by the projector 130. It has become. The light emitting means 120 and the projector 130 are controlled by a control means (not shown), and the first decoration form and the second decoration form are switched according to a predetermined program set in advance.

  The case body 110 is formed by applying milky white coating to the inner surface of a transparent resin box. It is a turbid colored translucent body. That is, in the present application, the case body 110 is referred to as translucent in terms of the property of transmitting light, not light transparency. As the light emitting means 120, an LED or a fluorescent tube is adopted. As the projector 130, a liquid crystal projector or a CRT projector that projects a moving image is adopted. The light of the light emitting means 120 is transmitted to the outside through the case body 110. The image of the projector 130 is projected onto the case body 110 by the case body 110 acting as a screen.

  In the case of this example, the case bodies 110 are respectively arranged with respect to the plurality of gaming machines 2. The side surfaces of the adjacent case bodies 110 face each other with a gap therebetween, and the image of the projector 130 is configured to straddle the front surface of the adjacent case bodies 110. The space | interval of a clearance gap is about 5-30 mm. The illustrated island 1 has nine gaming machines 2 arranged in a row. Three projectors 130 are provided, and an image of each projector 130 is projected so as to straddle the front of three adjacent case bodies 110. Each projector 130 is supported on the ceiling. In terms of cost, the number of projectors 130 should be small. However, it is also necessary to ensure the clarity of the image. In consideration of cost performance, it is preferable to provide one projector 130 for two to four case bodies 110. As a video projected by the projector 130, a demonstration video introducing the gaming machine 2 may be used. In addition, a video for notifying the business guidance of the game hall may be prepared and projected.

  According to such a configuration, a plurality of case bodies 110 can be used as one screen. And by changing the 1st decoration form and the 2nd decoration form alternately, the decoration which was rich in change is realizable. The first decoration form and the second decoration form are both forms of electric decoration, and since the electric decoration methods thereof are different, it is very effective in that the decoration is changed. The space of the amusement hall can also be used effectively.

  In the case of this example, the control means of the decoration device 100 is configured to acquire game information from the gaming machine 2 and reflect the information on the switching of the decoration form. For example, the second decoration form is normally used, and when a so-called hit occurs in any of the gaming machines 2 on the island 1, the projection by the projector 130 is stopped for a certain period of time and the first decoration form is switched. It has become. Although the first decoration form is not particularly limited, in the case of this example, the light emitting means 120 provided inside the case body 110 above the gaming machine 2 where the hit has occurred is turned on, and the other case bodies 110 are also turned on. The light emitting means 120 provided in the interior of the island 1 is lit so as to flow from one side to the other side of the island 1. In particular, since the existing display device 3 also acquires game information from the gaming machine 2, it is possible to acquire game information using the wiring in common. It is also possible for the control means of the display device 3 to control the decoration device 100 together with the display device 3.

  As described above, the decoration device of the present example is extremely rationally configured as a device for decorating a game hall in which gaming machines are arranged. In addition, it is needless to say that the configuration of each part in the present example can be appropriately changed in design within the technical scope described in the claims, and is not limited to that illustrated in the drawings.

  The game hall decoration device of the present invention can be used very suitably as a device for decorating a game hall in which game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are arranged.
