Can do. Therefore, the light from the illuminant does not become a spotlight, and attention can be drawn by an impact design while maintaining a good appearance.

  The light diffusing outer wall 66 of the second light diffusing member 64 is provided with a second light diffusing portion 66a extending in the up-down direction in parallel with the first light diffusing portion 65c in parallel in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the light emitted from the third light emitter 42b and the light reflected by the light diffusing inner wall 65 are introduced into the light diffusing outer wall 66 and are multiple-reflected by the second light diffusing portions 66a. This spreads over a wide area. That is, in the embodiment, the light in which the extending direction intersects (orthogonally) the facing light diffusion inner wall portion 65 and the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 in the second light diffusion member 64 irradiated with light from the third light emitter 42b. Since the diffusion portions 65c and 66a are provided in parallel, the light from the third light emitter 42b can be diffused in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction, and the light diffusion inner wall portion 65 and the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 are uniformly brightened uniformly. can do. In other words, even if the inner wall member 59 and the outer wall member 61 of the third decorative cover 45 that accommodates the second light diffusing member 64 have regions with different separation distances from the third light emitter 42b, the third light emitter. The inner wall member 59 and the outer wall member 61 can be uniformly brightened by the light of 42b. Furthermore, the light reflected by the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 can be focused and brightened by the lens effect of the first light diffusion portion 65c provided on the light diffusion inner wall portion 65, and the front end portion separated from the third light emitter 42b. Even on the side, the inner wall member 59 can be brightened evenly.

  Therefore, the translucent part 61b formed on the outer wall member 61 located outside the light diffusing outer wall part 66 can be uniformly bright as a whole, and can improve the appearance of the translucent part 61b. In addition, since the light diffusion sheet 67 is located between the light diffusion outer wall portion 66 and the outer wall member 61, the light transmissive portion 61 b is brightened more uniformly by the light diffusion sheet 67. That is, the light striking the light diffusing sheet 67 spreads over a wide range and the entire light diffusing sheet 67 itself shines brightly, so that the translucent portion 61b shines uniformly. That is, in the third decorative cover 45 that can attract attention by increasing the forward projecting dimension in the pachinko machine 10, the translucent part 61b evenly attracts the attention of the customer who is looking for the pachinko machine 10 to play a game. It can be attracted more by brightening. Further, since the inner wall member 59 located on the side of the window 15a in the third decorative cover 45 is transparent, a light emission effect with a depth is provided by the bright aspect of the light diffusing inner wall portion 65 seen through the inner wall member 59. Yes, it can improve interest. Since the non-translucent edge decorative component 62 is disposed at the rear edge of the inner wall member 59, that is, the edge close to the see-through protective plate 15b, the light of the third light emitter 42b is seen through. It can prevent that it reflects in the protection board 15b, and can prevent that the display part of the game board 12 or the symbol display apparatus 14 becomes difficult to visually recognize from the front side. In addition, when the whole light-diffusion sheet 67 shines, the said light-diffusion inner wall part 65 also has the effect that the whole shines.
