Can produce more innovative effects.

  A gaming machine according to a third aspect is the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein the transmissive liquid crystal and the rear image of the front image display unit are located behind the rear image display unit in the housing. A background image visible through the display unit is arranged.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention configured as described above, the background image arranged behind the rear image display unit in the housing can be viewed through the transmissive liquid crystal and the rear image display unit of the front liquid crystal display unit. Therefore, a more innovative effect can be exhibited by the superimposed display of the image and the background image by the front liquid crystal display unit and the rear stereoscopic image display unit.

It is a perspective view of game machine 1 of an embodiment. It is a side section of game machine 1 of an embodiment. It is a perspective view which shows the example of a front display image, a back display image, and a background image. It is a front view which shows the example of a front display image, a back display image, and a background image.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following embodiment, It is possible to implement in various aspects.
[1. Description of the configuration of the gaming machine 1]
As shown in FIG. 1, a gaming machine 1 such as a slot machine or a pachinko machine includes a housing 10 that houses a configuration for playing a game.

The housing 10 includes a housing main body 11 that is a box having an opening formed on the front surface, and a front cover 12 that covers the opening of the housing main body 11.
The front cover 12 has a portion made of a light-transmitting material, and has various configurations inside the casing body 11 from the front (transmission liquid crystal display section 20, stereoscopic image display section 30, and interior of the casing body 11 described later). The background image is visible.

  In addition, a rotary reel unit 13 is provided on the front upper portion of the housing 10 (the upper portion of the front cover 12). The rotating reel unit 13 is provided with three reels (a left reel 13L, a center reel 13C, and a right reel 13R) in a horizontal row in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on each outer peripheral surface. It has been. Each reel can be rotated by a built-in motor. The symbols on each reel can be observed through the display windows 14L, 14C and 14R. In addition, the part which faces the player of each reel corresponds to each fluctuation range. For this reason, the rotary reel unit 13 can display a plurality of types of symbols in each of a plurality of variable regions (three in the present embodiment) and then statically display the symbols in each variable region.
