It is shaped to form. In the present embodiment, the pattern is drawn in a curved shape by making it thicker than the other part of the base member 35 for the second start winning device, and the decorativeness is improved. In the present embodiment, the thick decorative portion 47 is formed by using a curved pattern, but the shape of the thick decorative portion 47 is not limited to this, and the thick decorative portion 47 is not limited to this. The wall thickness in the meat decoration part 47 may also be determined arbitrarily.

  The thin decorative portion 48 forms a predetermined decoration on the surface 35a of the second starting prize-winning apparatus base member 35 by making the thickness of the second starting prize-winning apparatus base member 35 thinner than other portions. It is shaped as follows. In the present embodiment, the thin decorative portion 48 is formed in a star shape that is thinner than the thickness of the base member 35 for the second starting prize-winning device, but the shape of the thin decorative portion 48 is limited to this. In addition, the thickness of the thin decorative portion 48 may be arbitrarily determined.

  The decorative hole 46, the thick decorative portion 47, and the thin decorative portion 48 may be used separately, but the decorative hole 46, the thick decorative portion 47, and the thin decorative portion 48 are combined. It is preferable to arrange and use. By arranging them in combination, the decorativeness on the surface of the base member 35 for the second start winning device can be further improved, and the presentation effect accompanying the progress of the game of the gaming machine 1 can be further improved. become.

  Next, the effect of the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the second start winning device unit 20 is attached and fixed to the board surface 11 a of the game board 11 by screwing or the like from the surface side of the game board 11. FIG. 4 shows a partially enlarged view in which the portion of the game board 11 to which the second start winning device unit 20 is attached is enlarged. In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the second start winning device unit 20 is attached and fixed to the game board 11, the color arrangement of the second start winning device base member 35 and the color arrangement of the board surface 11a of the game board 11 are different. ing. Therefore, in addition to visually recognizing the color of the base member 35 for the second start winning device, the player can visually recognize the color of the board surface 11a of the game board 11 visible through the decorative hole 46. Further, in the region where the color of the base member 35 for the second start winning device can be visually recognized, the second start winning device includes the region where the thick decorative portion 47 or the thin decorative portion 48 is formed and the other region. The visible color in the base member 35 can be changed. Therefore, when the player visually recognizes the second start winning device unit 20, the color of the region where the thick decorative portion 47 or the thin decorative portion 48 is formed in the second start winning device base member 35; Different colors such as the color of the region where the thick decorative portion 47 or the thin decorative portion 48 is not formed and the color visible through the decorative hole 46 can be simultaneously recognized. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the interest of the player in the game.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the decorative hole portion 46, the thick decorative portion 47, and the thin decorative portion 48 are formed in the second starting prize-winning device unit 20 that the player often pays attention during the game. As a result, it is possible to further improve the production effect accompanying the progress of the game, and to further improve the interest of the player.

  Although the present embodiment has been described using an example in which the decorative hole 46, the thick decorative portion 47, and the thin decorative portion 48 are formed in the second starting winning device unit 20 from among the winning device units, The present invention may be applied to the first start winning device unit 17 other than the two start winning device units 20, the big winning device unit 18, and the passing winning device unit 19. Further, when the decoration hole 46, the thick decoration 47 and the thin decoration 48 are formed in these winning apparatus units including the second start winning apparatus unit 20, one of the winning apparatus units can be selected. And may be applied to a plurality of winning device units. Further, when the gaming machine 1 includes a winning device unit having a configuration other than the winning device unit described in this specification, the winning device unit may be applied to the winning device unit.

  As mentioned above, although the embodiment of the gaming machine according to the present invention has been described in detail, the configuration and operational effects of the gaming machine described in the present specification are merely examples of the gaming machine according to the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the configuration may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
