<Action>
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the operation of the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 7A is an explanatory diagram showing a state of the waist 22 when the waist LED 205a is turned off, and FIG. 7B is an explanatory diagram showing a state of the waist 22 when the waist LED 205a is turned on.

  When the game is started by the player, the sub control circuit 72 determines the content of the effect, and turns on and off the waist LED 205a according to the lamp data designated by the determined content of the effect.

As described above, the second layer 212 of the waist film 202 attenuates light that enters from the first layer 211 side and passes through the second layer 212. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7A, on the waist panel 22a of the waist 22 when the waist LED 205a is turned off, the first symbol f1 of the first layer 211 is obstructed by the second layer 212 and is clearly displayed. Instead, only the second symbol f2 of the third layer 213 is clearly displayed. As described above, since the second symbol f2 is composed of the character symbol c1 arranged in the substantially central portion and the colorless background b2, the character symbol c2 is displayed in the substantially central portion, and the character symbol c2 is surrounded by The second layer 212 is exposed through the colorless background b2 and displayed in white.

On the other hand, in the waist panel 22a when the waist LED 205a is lit, the amount of light that enters from the first layer 211 side of the waist film 202 and passes through the second layer 212 increases. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7B, the first symbol f1 is displayed more clearly than when the waist LED 205a is turned off. That is, the first symbol f1 of the first layer 211 is displayed so as to float on the second layer 212, and the background symbol b1 of the first symbol f1 is passed through the colorless background b2 of the second symbol f2 on the third layer 213. Is displayed around the character symbol c2 of the second symbol f2.
The third layer 213 is formed on the second layer 212 such that the character symbol c2 overlaps the character symbol c1 via the second layer 212. For this reason, the character design c1 displayed so as to be raised on the second layer 212 and the character design c2 of the third layer 213 overlap each other, and the character is emphasized and displayed. Thereby, the effect of a production or decoration can be heightened.

  In the present embodiment, the display of the waist panel 22a can be changed with a simple configuration in which the first layer 211, the second layer 212, and the third layer 213 are formed on the waist film 202 with ink.

  In the present embodiment, since the same type of oil-based ink is used as the ink for forming the three layers on the waist film 202, the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where various types of ink are used.

<Modification>
The embodiment to which the invention made by the present inventor is applied has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited by the description and drawings which form part of the disclosure of the invention according to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention described in the claims. Is possible.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the second design f2 of the third layer 213 is a character design c2 arranged in the substantially central portion, and a colorless background formed of colorless ink arranged around the character design c2. The aspect which consists of b2 was demonstrated. However, instead of this, the colorless background b2 may be omitted, and a third layer consisting only of the character design c2 may be formed.

  In the present embodiment, three layers are formed on the front surface of the waist film 202 with ink. However, instead of this, three layers may be formed on the rear surface of the waist cover 201. In this case, the third layer 213 is formed on the rear surface of the waist cover 201 by the first printing, the second layer 212 is formed on the third layer 213 by the second printing, and the second layer 212 is formed by the third printing. A first layer 211 is formed thereon. For this reason, since the waist | hip | lumbar part film 202 can be abbreviate | omitted, a structure becomes simpler and the cost for manufacturing the pachislot 1 can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the second layer 212 is formed of white ink, but the color of the ink to be used can be appropriately changed to other colors such as silver.
In the present embodiment, the mode in which the second layer 212 transmits 30% of the light incident from the first layer 211 side has been described. However, the light transmittance of the second layer 212 can be changed as appropriate as long as a person viewing the waist panel 22a can recognize that the display of the waist panel 22a is changed by turning on and off the waist LED 205a.

  In the present embodiment, the character design c1 in the second design f2 and the character design c1 in the first design f1 are the same, that is, the contour and the color are the same design. However, instead of this, only the outline may be the same, and the color of the character design c1 may be different from the color of the character design c2. For example, the color of the cheek portion in the character design c1 may be colored more red than the color of the cheek portion in the character design c2. In this case, when the lower back LED 205a is turned on, the cheek red color of the character symbol c1 is raised on the second layer 212, so that the cheek portion of the character symbol c2 is displayed reddish. For this reason, it is possible to produce an effect that the facial expression of the character changes, and to further enhance the effect of the game effect.

  In the present embodiment, the lumbar panel 22a has been described as an example of the decorative portion of the present invention, but the decorative portion is not limited to the lumbar panel 22a. For example, the periphery of the 7-segment display or the periphery of the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 5 may be configured in the same manner as the waist panel 22a to form the decorative portion of the present invention.

  Further, in addition to the pachislot machine 1 as in the present embodiment, the present invention can be applied to other game machines such as a pachinko game machine and a slot machine that does not include the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R.
