Description

従来より、ボリュームで設定される音量に応じたレベルに増幅した音声信号をスピーカに出力する遊技機が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１）。 Conventionally, a gaming machine that outputs an audio signal amplified to a level corresponding to a volume set by a volume to a speaker has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1) .

特開２０１１−３０６５１号公報JP 2011-30651 A

ところで、遊技機は、異常状態の発生をホールの店員等に報知するための報知音をスピーカから流すため、ボリュームを絞って音量が小さく操作されると、演出音の音量に加えて報知音の音量も小さくなりホールの店員等が異常状態の発生を気付き難くいという問題があった。 By the way, the gaming machine plays a notification sound from the speaker to notify the clerk of the hall of the occurrence of an abnormal state. There was a problem that the volume was reduced and it was difficult for hall clerk to notice the abnormal state .

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、演出音の音量を小さくしても、報知音によりホールの店員等が異常状態の発生を気付き難くなることを防止することができる遊技機を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to make it difficult for hall clerk or the like to notice the occurrence of an abnormal state due to the notification sound even if the volume of the production sound is reduced. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can prevent this .
