It may be a thing. Therefore, each of the main control unit 300, the first sub control unit 400, and the second sub control unit 500 can be regarded as a predetermined control means, or one of these three control units (300, 400, 500) combined. One can be regarded as a predetermined control means, or one combined with the first sub control unit 400 and the second sub control unit 500 can be regarded as a predetermined control means.

<Main control unit>
First, the main control unit 300 of the pachinko machine 100 will be described.

  The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, a ROM 306 for storing control programs and various data, and temporary data. RAM 308 for storing data, I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, counter timer 312 for measuring time and frequency, and WDT 314 for monitoring abnormalities in program processing are mounted. . Note that other storage devices may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and this is the same for the first sub-control unit 400 described later. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined period output from the crystal oscillator 316b as a system clock.

  The basic circuit 302 also includes a random value generation circuit 318 for deriving a numerical value in the range of 0 to 65535 each time a clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 316a is received (this circuit includes three random value generation circuits). 1), the main body opening sensor 1041, the front frame door sensor 1061, the door sensor with ball storage tray 1082, and the lower tray 128 shown in FIG. Receives signals output from various sensors 320 including a full tank detection sensor, a ball detection sensor provided inside each start opening, winning opening and variable winning opening, and disturbs the result of amplification and comparison with reference voltage.

  The random value generation circuit 318 generates a random value used in the basic circuit 302. Random number generation in the random value generation circuit 318 can be broadly divided into two types of methods: counter mode and random number mode. In the counter mode, a numerical value that is counted up (down) at a predetermined time interval is acquired, and the numerical value is derived as a random number. There are two more methods in the random number mode. The first method in the random number mode performs an operation using a predetermined function (for example, a modulus function) using a seed of random numbers, and derives the operation result as a random number. In the second method, a numerical value is read from a random number table in which numerical values in the range of 0 to 65535 are randomly arranged, and the read numerical value is derived as a random number. The random value generation circuit 318 acquires an irregular value using white noise superimposed on a signal input from the various sensors 320 to the sensor circuit 322. The random value generation circuit 318 uses the acquired value as an initial value of a counter that counts up (down) in the counter mode, uses it as a seed of random numbers, or determines a read start position of the random number table. .

  When the sphere detection sensor among the various sensors 320 detects that the sphere has won the first special figure starting port 230, the sensor circuit 322 sends a signal indicating that the sphere has been detected to a random value generation circuit. Output to 318. The random value generation circuit 318 that has received this signal latches the value at that timing of the random value generation circuit corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230, and the latched value is incorporated in the random value generation circuit 318. It is stored in a random value storage register corresponding to the first special figure starting port 230. Similarly, when the random value generation circuit 318 receives a signal indicating that a ball has won the second special figure starting port 232, the timing of the random value generation circuit corresponding to the second special figure starting port 232 is also the same. Is latched, and the latched value is stored in a random value storage register corresponding to the second special figure starting port 232 incorporated in the random value generation circuit 318. Further, when the random number generation circuit 318 receives a signal indicating that the ball has won the universal start port 228, the random value generation circuit 318 latches the value at the timing of the random value generation circuit corresponding to the general start port 228. Then, the latched value is stored in a random value storage register corresponding to the normal start port 228 built in the random value generation circuit 318.

  In addition, as the ball detection sensor referred to in this specification, specifically, a predetermined prize opening such as a general prize opening 226, a first special figure starting opening 230, a second special figure starting opening 232, a variable winning opening 234 or the like is won.

It corresponds to the member 118. That is, the transparent plate member 118 has a three-layer structure. Note that the translucent member 703 itself may have a laminated structure. The glass unit 700 is provided with a side light emitting means 709. The side light emitting means 709 is an LED light source that emits light between the front side surface (player side surface) 703a and the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703, and is referred to as the first irradiation in the present invention. It corresponds to an example of means. In addition, it replaces with the side light emission means 709, arrange | positions reflection members, such as a mirror, a light source is provided in another position, the light originating in the light source is reflected with a reflection member, and the front side surface of the translucent member 703 You may make it irradiate between 703a and the rear side 703b.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an optical relationship between the big hit lamp 207 and the side light emitting means 709 in the pachinko machine 100 according to the first embodiment.

  FIG. 8A shows the game board 200 in a state where the big hit lamp 207 is not lit and the side light emitting means 709 is lit, and FIG. AA ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. Further, FIG. 8C shows the game board 200 in a state where the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the jackpot lamp 207 is lit, and FIG. BB 'sectional drawing of (c) is shown. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6C, when the variable winning opening 234 is set to the 6 o'clock position, the side light emitting means 709 is positioned between 10:00 and 11:00. The big hit lamp 207 provided at the top of the effect device 206 is arranged at the 1 o'clock position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B and FIG. 6D, a reflecting means 7031 is provided in the vicinity of the side light emitting means 709 of the translucent member 703. The reflecting means 7031 is, for example, made by performing a fine processing (for example, microlens processing) with a laser on a translucent member 703 that is a resin plate, or an injection molding method or hot embossing using a mold obtained by electroforming. It is formed by a molding method. In this example, the reflection means 7031 is formed in a lens shape on the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703. That is, the reflecting means 7031 in the present embodiment reflects the light irregularly reflected inside the light guide plate in a predetermined direction outside the light guide plate by carving a cut pattern in a part of the translucent member 703 that is the light guide plate. It is a thing. The side light emitting means 709 is lit by the control of the first sub-control unit 400 while the first special figure display device 212 or the second special figure display device 214 is variably displayed, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the side light emitting means 709 that is an LED light source emits light, light is transmitted between the front side surface (player side surface) 703 and the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703. Is irradiated. That is, light is incident on the reflecting means 7031 from the horizontal direction (or substantially horizontal direction). The light emitted from the side light emitting means 709 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 in a predetermined direction on the player side (see the arrow in the figure), and a predetermined design 7091 appears in the predetermined direction, and FIG. As shown to a), the design 7091 is visually recognized by the player. The predetermined design 7091 corresponds to an example of the first design referred to in the present invention. The reflecting means 7031 is provided along the optical axis of the side light emitting means 709 from the vicinity of the side light emitting means 709, and the design 7091 visually recognized by the player is also along the optical axis of the side light emitting means 709. It will be extended.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 8D, the big hit lamp 207 includes an LED light source 2072 mounted on the LED substrate 2071 and a translucent case 2073 that covers the LED light source 2072. The LED light source 2072 is a back light source, and the big hit lamp 207 corresponds to an example of the second irradiation means in the present invention. That is, the big hit lamp 207 irradiates light to the reflecting means 7031 from a direction different from the irradiation direction of the side light emitting means 709. A black letter “big hit” is printed on the surface 2073a on the player side of the translucent case 2073, and the light emitted from the LED light source 2072 does not transmit the letter “big hit”. The portion of the sex case 2073 excluding the word “big hit” is transparent, and the character “hit” is visually recognized by the player. It should be noted that the character portion of “big hit” is made transparent by making it a slit, and the portion other than the character portion is made transparent, or the character portion of “big hit” and the portion excluding that portion are translucent. Even if the color is changed, the player can visually recognize the word “big hit”. The big hit lamp 207 is turned on by the control of the first sub-control unit 400 when the first special figure display device 212 or the second special figure display device 214 stops displaying the big hit symbol. The big hit lamp 207 and the side light emitting means 709 may be turned on at the same time, but here, the description will be continued assuming that the side light emitting means 709 is turned off when the big hit lamp 207 is turned on. As shown in FIG. 8D, when the big hit lamp 207 disposed on the top of the effect device 206 provided on the game board 200 is turned on, the diffused light is irradiated toward the player side (arrow in the figure). reference). The wavy lines shown in FIG. 8B and FIG. 8D are symbols indicating omission, and the big hit lamp 207 and the reflecting means 7031 are considerably separated. For this reason, a part of the irradiation light from the big hit lamp 207 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 toward a predetermined direction on the player side (see the arrow in the figure). That is, the diffused light emitted from the LED light source 2072 which is a light source on the game board 200 side first passes through the translucent case 2073 and is translucent from the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703. The light enters the member 703 and exits from the front side surface (player side surface) 703 a of the translucent member 703. Part of the diffused light emitted from the LED light source 2072 is incident on the reflecting means 7031 formed on the rear side surface (game board side face) 703b of the translucent member 703 from the direction intersecting in the horizontal direction, and the reflecting means Reflected by 7031, a predetermined design 7091 or a part of the design 7091 appears in a predetermined direction. The predetermined design 7091 that appears here or a part of the design 7091 corresponds to an example of the second design referred to in the present invention. The reflecting means 7031 has a shape for reflecting light incident from the horizontal direction (or substantially horizontal direction) in a predetermined direction on the player side, so that light irradiated from the direction intersecting the horizontal direction is used. The design 7091 is less noticeable than the case where the incident angle is not determined and the light incident from the horizontal direction is reflected. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8C, the player can visually recognize the design 7091 or a part of the design 7091 as well as the big hit lamp 207 shining. However, the further away from the LED light source 2072 on the game board 200 side, the harder the diffused light emitted from the LED light source 2072 reaches the reflecting means 7031, and the light reflected by the portion of the reflecting means 7031 near the LED light source 2072. Is high (bright), and light reflected at a portion far from the LED light source 2072 has low luminance (dark). The design 7091 shown in FIG. 8C is expressed in a darker color as the luminance is higher. Thus, by turning on the big hit lamp 207 itself, information different from the information indicated by the pattern displayed by the reflecting means 7031 can be notified. As a result, when the big hit lamp 207 corresponding to the back light source is turned on, it is possible to indicate the presence of decoration indicating other information while notifying one information. The “1 information” here is, for example, information related to the determination result (“big hit” here). Further, the “other information” mentioned here includes information independent of the above “1 information”. For example, information on the type of jackpot, more specifically, information indicating a transition to a predetermined control state (for example, a probable change state) advantageous to the player after the jackpot ends. Of course, the pattern displayed by the reflecting means 7031 may not indicate any information.

  FIG. 8 (e) shows the game board 200 in a state where the big hit lamp 207 and the side light emitting means 709 are turned on at the same time, and FIG. 8 (f) on the right side thereof shows C in FIG. 8 (e). -C 'cross-sectional view is shown.

  In this example, light from the side light emitting means 709 enters the reflecting means 7031 from the horizontal direction (or substantially horizontal direction). Further, part of the diffused light from the big hit lamp 207 enters the reflecting means 7031 from the direction intersecting in the horizontal direction. The reflecting means 7031 shown in FIG. 8 (f) reflects both the light from the side light emitting means 709 and part of the diffused light from the big hit lamp 207 toward a predetermined direction on the player side (see arrows in the figure). ). As a result, a design 7091 having a luminance different from that shown in FIG. 8A in which only the side light emitting means 709 of the side light emitting means 709 and the big hit lamp 207 are turned on appears (see FIG. 8E). . That is, in the case shown in FIG. 9A where only the side light emitting means 709 is turned on, the design 7091 has a substantially uniform brightness, whereas the jackpot lamp 207 is also turned on in addition to the side light emitting means 709. In this case, the brightness is higher as a part of the diffused light from the big hit lamp 207 is received and reflected by a portion of the reflecting means 7031 near the big hit lamp 207. In this way, the display mode of the design 7091 that appears when the side light emitting means 709 is lit changes according to the lighting state of the big hit lamp 207 that is the back light source.

  As described above, the reflecting means 7031 reflects light incident from different directions (here, the direction intersecting the horizontal direction and the horizontal direction), and all or one of the predetermined designs 7091 according to the luminance of the incident light. The part appears in a predetermined direction. In the present embodiment, when both the jackpot lamp 207 and the side light emitting means 709 are turned off, neither the design of the letter “big hit” nor another predetermined design 7091 appears (not visible to the player). ) By simultaneously lighting both the big hit lamp 207 and the side light emitting means 709, the letters “big hit” appear, and another predetermined design 7091 appears with high brightness, and only the big hit lamp 207 lights up. As a result, the word “big hit” appears, and another predetermined design 7091 or only a part of the design 7091 appears with low luminance, and only the side light emitting means 709 is turned on to turn on the predetermined design. Only 7091 appears with medium luminance, and a variety of effects with various changes can be performed using light. In addition, the optical configuration described above requires fewer parts than conventional ones, and there is a case where it is not necessary to execute complicated processing such as lighting control.

  Then, the modification of the pachinko machine 100 of the modification of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated. In the following description, components having the same names as the components described so far will be described using the same reference numerals as those used so far, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment.

FIG. 9 (a) shows the game board 200 in a state where the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the jackpot lamp 207 is lit, and FIG. 9 (b) on the right side shows the game board 200. AA ′ cross-sectional view of FIG.

  In this modified example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the variable winning opening 234 is set to the 6 o'clock position, the side light emitting means 709 is disposed at the 12 o'clock position and is located above the effect device 206. The provided big hit lamp 207 is disposed at the 1 o'clock position, and the reflection means 7031 is formed closer to the big hit lamp 207 than in the first embodiment. A part of the diffused light emitted from the LED light source 2072 of the big hit lamp 207 corresponding to an example of the second irradiating means of the present invention is reflected by the reflecting means 7031, and a predetermined design 7091 appears in a predetermined direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, the player can visually recognize the design 7091 (corresponding to an example of the second design according to the present invention) as well as the appearance of the big hit lamp 207. Also in this modified example, the light reflected by the reflection unit 7031 near the LED light source 2072 has a high luminance (bright), and the light reflected by a portion far from the LED light source 2072 has a low luminance (dark). A design 7091 corresponding to an example of the second design referred to in the present invention shown in a) is also expressed in a darker color as the luminance is higher. As described above, in the modification, since the distance between the reflecting means 7031 and the big hit lamp 207 is short, the reflecting means 7031 is likely to reflect much of the light from the big hit lamp 207, and the brightness of the design 7091 appearing by the reflecting means 7031 is high. The high area is large. In contrast to this modification, in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 8, since the distance between the reflection means 7031 and the big hit lamp 207 is long, the light from the big hit lamp 207 is difficult to reach the reflection means 7031, and the reflection means 7031. The area of high brightness of the design 7091 appearing by is small.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, an intense lamp is provided in the upper part of the effect device 206 provided on the game board 200 in place of the big hit lamp 207. This intense lamp corresponds to an example of the second irradiation means in the present invention.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an optical relationship between the intense lamp and the side light emitting means 709 in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 10 (a) shows the game board 200 in which both the intense lamp 209 and the side light emitting means 709 are not lit, and FIG. 10 (b) shows the AA of FIG. 10 (a). 'Cross section is shown. Further, FIG. 10C shows the game board 200 in a state where the intense lamp 209 is not lit and the side light emitting means 709 is lit, and FIG. BB 'sectional drawing of this is shown. Further, FIG. 10 (e) shows the game board 200 in which the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the intense lamp 209 is lit, and FIG. 10 (f) shows the gaming board 200. A CC ′ cross-sectional view is shown.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), when the variable winning opening 234 is set to the 6 o'clock position, the side light emitting means 709 is disposed at the 2 o'clock position, The violent lamp 209 provided at 1 is arranged at the 1 o'clock position, and the reflecting means 7031 is located on the rear side surface (side surface of the game board) 703b of the translucent member 703 on the right side of the violent lamp 209. Is formed. The intense lamp 209 is formed with a slit called “geki” on the surface 2093a on the player side of the translucent case 2093, and the light emitted from the LED light source 2092 is a portion excluding the slit called “geki”. Is not translucent, the slit “Geki” is translucent, and the character “Geki” is visually recognized by the player. As shown in FIG. 10 (f), when the “geki” lamp 209 is turned on, the diffused light is emitted toward the player side (see the arrow in the figure). The reflecting means 7031 in the second embodiment reflects incident light toward a predetermined direction on the player side, and causes the word “heat” to appear in the predetermined direction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (d), when the side light emitting means 709 (corresponding to an example of the first irradiation means in the present invention) that is an LED light source emits light, the front side surface of the translucent member 703 (player) Light is irradiated between the side surface 703a and the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b, and the irradiated light is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 in a predetermined direction on the player side (see the arrow in the figure). As shown in c), the player visually recognizes the design 7092 of the whole character “heat”. The design 7092 of the entire character “heat” corresponds to an example of the first design referred to in the present invention.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), a part of the diffused light from the “geki” lamp 209 is given on the player side by a reflecting means 7031 formed at a position adjacent to the right side of the “geki” lamp 209. Reflected toward the direction (see arrows in the figure), as shown in FIG. 10 (e), the player sees that the letters “Geki” and part of the letters “Heat” are shining. Visible. This suggests the existence of the design 7092 with the letters “heat”. The design of the letter “heat” in which part of the figure (e) is shining corresponds to an example of the second design according to the present invention.

  As described above, the reflecting means 7031 reflects the light incident from different directions (here, the direction intersecting the horizontal direction and the horizontal direction), and either all of the letters “heat” depending on the luminance of the incident light or Some designs appear in a predetermined direction. In the second embodiment, the design of the character “Intense heat” does not appear to the extent that the player can recognize that both the intense lamp 209 and the side light emitting means 709 are turned off (visible to the player). 1) When both the intense lamp 209 and the side light emitting means 709 are turned on at the same time, the word “extreme heat” appears, and when only the intense lamp 209 is turned on, the letters “extreme” and “heat” A part of the letters “L” is turned on and only the side light emitting means 709 is turned on, so that only the letters “Heat” are turned on, and a variety of various effects can be performed using light.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment, the brightness of the LED light source 2092 of the intense lamp 209 can be adjusted. This brightness adjustment is performed by the first sub-control unit 400.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining that the appearance of the word “heat” is changed by adjusting the luminance of the LED light source 2092 of the intense lamp 209 in a state where the side light emitting means 709 is turned off. In FIG. 11, the higher the luminance, the darker the color.

  FIG. 11A is a diagram showing how the character “heat” appears when the LED light source 2092 of the intense lamp 209 emits light with an intermediate brightness. The appearance of the word “heat” is exactly the same as the appearance of the letter “heat” shown in FIG. That is, part of the diffused light from the LED light source 2092 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 and the left half of the word “heat” is visually recognized by the player.

  FIG. 11B is a diagram showing how the character “heat” appears when the luminance of the LED light source 2092 of the intense lamp 209 is lowered as compared with the case of FIG. Compared with the case shown in FIG. 5A, the visible region of the characters “heat” is reduced.

  FIG. 11C is a diagram showing how the letters “heat” appear when the luminance of the LED light source 2092 of the intense lamp 209 is increased as compared with the case of FIG. Compared with the case shown in FIG. 5A, the visible region of the characters “heat” is increased.

  Subsequently, a pachinko machine according to a third embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, a rotation lamp is provided in the upper part of the effect device 206 provided in the game board 200 in place of the big hit lamp 207. The rotating lamp 205 can change the light irradiation direction like a so-called rotating lamp, and corresponds to an example of the second irradiation means in the present invention.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an optical relationship between the rotating lamp and the side light emitting means in the pachinko machine 100 according to a modification of the third embodiment. Also in the third embodiment, when the variable winning opening 234 is set to the 6 o'clock position, the side light emitting means 709 is arranged at a position between 10:00 and 11:00. Further, the rotary lamp 205 provided at the top of the effect device 206 is disposed at the 1 o'clock position, and the side light emitting means 709 is disposed on the left side as viewed from the player. In FIG. 12A, the side light emitting means 709 is not lit, and the rotating lamp 205 emits light toward the side (left side) opposite to the side (left side) where the side light emitting means 709 is disposed. The gaming board 200 is shown in the state shown in the figure, and the right side of FIG. 2B shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12A, the character design does not appear even when the rotary lamp 205 emits light. While the light source 2052 of the rotating lamp 205 is fixed so as not to rotate, the reflecting plate 2054 is rotatable so as to face in the left-right direction around the light source 2052. The light emission of the light source 2052 and the rotation of the reflection plate 2054 are controlled by the first sub-control unit 400. Note that the reflector 2054 may be rotatable about the light source 2052 so as to face in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 12B, when the rotating lamp 205 turned so that the reflecting plate 2054 is turned to the right side is turned on, the diffused light is irradiated toward the right side on the player side (see the arrow in the figure). . For this reason, the irradiation light from the rotary lamp 205 does not reach the reflecting means 7031, and the design 7091 that appears after being reflected by the reflecting means 7031 does not appear here. Accordingly, in the state shown in FIG. 12A, the rotating lamp 205 remains in a state where it emits light except for a part on the left side.

  FIG. 12 (c) shows the game board 200 in a state where the rotating lamp 205 rotated so that the reflector 2054 slightly turns to the right side and the side light emitting means 709 are also turned on. FIG. 4D is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB ′ of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12 (d), even if the rotating lamp 205 rotated so that the reflecting plate 2054 slightly turns to the right side, the irradiation light from the rotating lamp 205 does not reach the reflecting means 7031. However, here, the side light emitting means 709 corresponding to an example of the first irradiation means according to the present invention emits light, and the light from the side light emitting means 709 enters the reflecting means 7031 from the horizontal direction (or substantially horizontal direction). . The light emitted from the side light emitting means 709 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 toward a predetermined direction on the player side (see the arrow in FIG. 12D), and a predetermined design 7091 (in the present invention) is provided in the predetermined direction. Appears as an example of the first design). As a result, as shown in FIG. 12C, the player can visually recognize the design 7091 as well as the rotating lamp 205 shining over the entire surface.

  FIG. 12 (e) shows the game board 200 in a state in which the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the rotation lamp 205 is irradiated with light toward the side (left side) where the side light emitting means 709 is disposed. FIG. 5F on the right side thereof shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC ′ of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12 (f), when the rotating lamp 205 turned so that the reflecting plate 2054 is directed to the left side is turned on, the diffused light is irradiated toward the left side on the player side (see the arrow in the figure). . For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12E, the rotary lamp 205 remains in a state where only the left half emits light. The wavy lines shown in FIG. 12 (f) and the like are symbols indicating omission, and the irradiation light from the rotating lamp 205 rotated so that the reflecting plate 2054 faces the left side although the rotating lamp 205 and the reflecting means 7031 are considerably separated. Reaches the reflecting means 7031. The irradiation light from the rotary lamp 205 corresponding to an example of the second irradiation unit according to the present invention is incident on the reflection unit 7031 from a direction intersecting in the horizontal direction. The irradiation light is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 toward a predetermined direction on the player side (see the arrow in FIG. 12F), and a part of the predetermined design 7091 appears in the predetermined direction. Part of the predetermined design 7091 that appears here corresponds to an example of the second design according to the present invention. Here, the reflecting means 7031 is also shaped to reflect the light incident from the horizontal direction (or substantially horizontal direction) in a predetermined direction on the player side, and is therefore irradiated from the direction intersecting the horizontal direction. As for the emitted light, the output angle is not fixed, and the design 7091 is less noticeable than when the light incident from the horizontal direction is reflected. In the third embodiment, by adjusting the direction in which the reflecting plate 2054 of the rotating lamp 205 faces, the amount of light irradiated to the reflecting means 7031 from the light source 2052 (back light source) of the rotating lamp 205 can be changed. The visible region of the design formed by the reflecting means 7031 can be changed. That is, as the distance from the light source 2052 that is the back light source increases, the light reflected by the reflecting means 7031 in a predetermined direction on the player side becomes weak, and as a result, only a part of the design displayed by the reflection is visible. Become. Note that the visible region of the design displayed by the reflecting means 7031 can be changed by adjusting the luminance of the light source 2052 which is a back light source.

  As described above, also in the third embodiment, the light emission mode of the rotary lamp 205 and the display mode of the predetermined design 7091 can be changed, and a variety of various effects can be performed using light. Can do.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment, the big hit lamp 207 is omitted, and an effect lamp is provided on the left part of the effect device 206. Further, the position of the side light emitting means is also changed. The effect lamp corresponds to an example of the second irradiation means in the present invention.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an optical relationship between the effect lamp and the side light emitting means in the pachinko machine 100 according to a modification of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 13 (a) shows the game board 200 in a state where the side light emitting means 709 and the effect lamp are not lit, and FIG. 13 (b) on the right side of FIG. -A 'cross-sectional view is shown.

  The effect lamp 203 includes two LED light sources 2032 mounted on an LED board 2031 provided in the effect device 206 and a transmissive case 2033 that covers the two LED light sources 2032. These two LED light sources 2032 also correspond to back light sources. The transparent case 2033 in the third embodiment is not printed with characters. Further, the reflection means 7031 is provided so as to face the effect lamp 203 on the player side (predetermined direction side). That is, it is provided on the optical axis 203L of the effect lamp 203. The reflecting means 7031 is formed on the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703 and causes the design of the letters “Yoshimune” to appear. In FIG. 13A, the character “Yoshimune” is indicated by a dotted line, but in the state shown in FIG. 13A, this character is not actually visible to the player. The side light emitting means 709 is disposed on the left side of the reflecting means 7031.

  FIG. 13C shows the game board 200 in a state in which the effect lamp 203 is not lit and the side light emitting means 709 is lit, and FIG. 13D on the right side of FIG. BB 'cross-sectional view is shown. As shown in FIG. 13C, when the side light emitting means 709 emits light, light is irradiated between the front side surface (player side surface) 703a and the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703. . That is, light is incident on the reflecting means 7031 from the horizontal direction (or substantially horizontal direction). The light emitted from the side light emitting means 709 corresponding to an example of the first irradiation means according to the present invention is uniformly reflected by the reflecting means 7031 in a predetermined direction on the player side (see the arrow in the figure). A design 7093 with the letters “Yoshimune” appears in a predetermined direction, and the player sees the design 7093. The design 7093 having the character “Yoshimune” shown in FIG. 13C corresponds to an example of the first design according to the present invention. The brightness of the design 7093 of the character “Yoshimune” derived from the light from the side light emitting means 709 is uniform, and the effect lamp 203 arranged on the rear side (game board side) of the reflecting means 7031 is visually recognized by the player. Have difficulty.

  FIG. 13 (e) shows the game board 200 in a state where the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the effect lamp 203 is lit, and FIG. 13 (f) on the right side shows the same (e). CC ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 13 (f), when the effect lamp 203, which is a back light source, is turned on, the diffused light is emitted toward the player side (see arrows in the figure). That is, the diffused light emitted from the two LED light sources 2032 that are the light sources on the game board 200 side first passes through the transmissive case 2033 and enters the reflecting means 7031. In the reflecting means 7031 of the fourth embodiment, the light incident from the direction intersecting in the horizontal direction is hardly reflected and passed through the optical path as it is, and a design 7093 having the character “Yoshimune” is provided in a predetermined direction on the player side. Appears and the player sees the design 7093. In the design 7093 of the character “Yoshimune” derived from the light from the effect lamp 203 which is the back light source, the light is diffused light, so that the left and right end portions are the center portions in the left and right direction (FIG. 13F). Then, the brightness tends to be darker than that directly above the two LED light sources 2032. A design 7093 having a character “Yoshimune” shown in FIG. 13E corresponds to an example of a second design according to the present invention. In addition, it is possible for the player to visually recognize how each of the two LED light sources 2032 of the effect lamp 203 disposed on the rear side (game board side) of the reflecting means 7031 is shining.

  As described above, also in the fourth embodiment, the display mode of the design 7093 of the character “Yoshimune” can be changed, and a variety of effects can be performed using light.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 100 of the fourth embodiment, game nails 238 are provided on both sides in the left-right direction of the transmissive case 2033 of the effect lamp 203, and between these game nails 238 (hereinafter referred to as game nails). Game balls may pass through. A game ball corresponds to an example of a movable object referred to in the present invention. Further, the position between the game nails corresponds to an example of the first position according to the present invention, and the position below the space between the game nails on the game board corresponds to an example of the second position according to the present invention.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a game ball passing between game nails.

  FIG. 14A shows a state in which the game ball B passes between the game nails in a state where the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the effect lamp 203 is lit, and FIG. (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. Between the game nails 238 provided on both sides in the left-right direction of the transmissive case 2033 of the effect lamp 203 (see FIG. 4D) is reflected between the two LED light sources 2032 as the rear light source and the reflection. Between the means 7031, the space between the game nails is an irradiation region of these two LED light sources 2032. That is, a movable object called a game ball B moves on the player side (front side) from the light source. For this reason, when the game ball B passes between the game nails W, the light from the two LED light sources 2032 is blocked by the game ball B passing therethrough. As a result, every time the game ball B passes between the two LED light sources 2032 and the reflection means 7031 (between game nails) that are the back light sources, a shadow is formed on the design 7093 with the letters “Yoshimune” from the player. The visible design changes.

  On the other hand, FIG. 14C shows a state in which the game ball B passes between the game nails W in a state where the effect lamp 203 is not lit and the side light emitting means 709 is lit. FIG. 14D shows a BB ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. In this case, since the light source (side light emitting means 709) is located on the side of the reflecting means 7031, the movable object called the game ball B moves on the game board side (rear side) from the light source. For this reason, even if the game ball B passes through the space between the game nails W, the light from the side light emitting means 709 corresponding to an example of the first irradiation means in the present invention is blocked by the game ball B passing therethrough. No change occurs in the design 7093 of the character “Yoshimune” (corresponding to an example of the first design in the present invention).

  Here, the game ball B has been described as an example of the movable object. However, regardless of the game ball B, the movable object may be a disc-shaped hitting direction changing member 236 called a windmill or a variable prize opening 234 called an attacker. May be a door member 2341 or the like, or may be an effect device such as a shielding device 246. Further, if the movable state changes based on the determination result or the progress of the game, the visually recognizable design changes accordingly, so that it is easy to attract the player's attention.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a fifth embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment, the form of the big hit lamp 207 is different.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an optical relationship between the big hit lamp and the side light emitting means in the pachinko machine 100 according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 15 (a) shows a view of the gaming board 200 in the fifth embodiment as seen from the player side, and FIG. 15 (b) on the right side shows AA of FIG. 15 (a). 'Cross section is shown.

  The big hit lamp 207 includes an LED light source 2072 mounted on an LED board 2071 provided in the effect device 206, and a decorative lens 2075 provided on the player side of the LED light source 2072. The decorative lens 2075 is a decorative member for making the LED light source 2072 invisible to the player. Here, the decorative lens 2025 may be provided with a predetermined decoration as in the above-described embodiments. The side light emitting means 709 is provided above the decorative lens 2075 and at a position away from the game board 200. In other words, the side light emitting means 709 is provided on the front side surface (player side surface) 703a and the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703 even if an abnormality occurs in the mounting position or mounting angle of the front frame door 106. It is fixed to the front frame door 106 so as to emit light in between. The reflection means 7031 is provided below the height position where the big hit lamp 207 is provided. That is, the reflecting means 7031 is provided on the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703 b of the translucent member 703 and below the optical axis 207 L of the big hit lamp 207. The reflecting means 7031 causes the design of the letters “big hit” to appear in a predetermined direction on the player side. The first sub-control unit 400 turns on the side light emitting means 709 when the first special figure display device 212 or the second special figure display device 214 stops and displays the big hit symbol. FIG. 15A shows a state in which the side light emitting means 709 is turned on, and the player visually recognizes the design 7094 with the letters “big hit”. In addition, the reflecting means 7031 reflects light from the LED light source 2072 in a predetermined direction on the player side.

  In FIG. 5B, the eye E of the inspector at the game machine manufacturing factory is shown. Actually, the inspector removes the decorative lens 2075 from a position a little further away from the translucent member 703. An inspection is performed as to whether or not the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 is normally attached, as seen from below.

  FIG. 15C is a diagram showing a design that appears when the attachment position of the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 is normal.

  In the inspection of whether or not the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 is normally attached, the side light emitting means 709 corresponding to an example of the first irradiation means according to the present invention and the second irradiation means according to the present invention. The LED light source 2072 of the jackpot lamp 207 corresponding to an example is simultaneously turned on, and the inspector looks at the decorative lens 2075 from below. In this way, the design 7094 with the letters “big hit” appearing when the light from the side light emitting means 709 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 and the light from the LED light source 2072 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031 and appears. Design 7095 also appears to overlap the design 7094 with the letters “big hit”. That is, the predetermined design 7095 derived from the light from the LED light source 2072 is a design that is visible only when viewed from a predetermined viewpoint position. This predetermined design 7095 corresponds to an example of the second design referred to in the present invention. The design 7094 with the letters “big hit” corresponds to an example of the first design according to the present invention. Here, the predetermined viewpoint position is a position that is about 45 degrees below the optical axis of the LED light source 2072 that is the back light source, and the player does not normally see the LED light source 2072 from this viewpoint position. That is, the LED light source 2072 is a light source used for abnormality determination, and is provided at a position that is difficult to see from the viewpoint position of the player assumed in a normal game. As will be described later, the position where the predetermined design 7095 appears with respect to the design 7094 with the letters “big hit” changes depending on the mounting position and mounting angle of the front frame door 106, so that the player is abnormal due to this change. In order not to misunderstand that this occurs, the LED light source 2072 is preferably provided at a position that is difficult to visually recognize from the viewpoint position of the player. As long as the front frame door 106 is not opened using a key or the like, it may be provided at a position where it cannot be visually recognized. The character design 7094 of “big hit” shown in FIG. 15C is arranged horizontally, and a predetermined design 7095 derived from the light from the LED light source 2072 overlaps a predetermined position of each character. The predetermined design 7095 is a rectangular pattern, but when it overlaps the design 7094 of the character “big hit”, a circular pattern 7095 ′ is generated in the design 7094 of the character “big hit”.

  FIG. 15 (d) is a diagram showing a design that appears when there is a deviation in the attachment angle of the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703.

  When there is a deviation in the mounting angle of the front frame door 106, the design 7094 with the letters “big hit” appears obliquely from a predetermined viewpoint position. Here, the letters are lined up to the right, and “RI” Is not overlapped with a predetermined design 7095 derived from the light from the LED light source 2072. For this reason, the inspector knows that there is an abnormality in the attachment of the front frame door 106.

  FIG. 15E is a diagram illustrating a design that appears when the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 is displaced upward.

  When the front frame door 106 is attached at a position that is misaligned, the position deviated from a predetermined position (see FIG. 15C) of each character constituting the design 7094 of the character “big hit” from the predetermined viewpoint position. In addition, a predetermined design 7095 derived from the light from the LED light source 2072 appears. Here, since the predetermined design 7095 does not overlap the character “T”, the inspector can understand at a glance that there is an abnormality in the attachment of the front frame door 106.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the fifth embodiment, information indicating whether or not the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 is normally attached using light is not overlooked by the inspector. Can tell.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a sixth embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine of the sixth embodiment, the big hit lamp 207 is omitted and a back light source is provided. This back light source corresponds to an example of the second irradiation means in the present invention.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an optical relationship between the back light source and the side light emitting means in the pachinko machine 100 according to the sixth embodiment. FIG. 16 (a) shows a view of the gaming board 200 in the sixth embodiment as seen from the player side, and FIG. 16 (b) on the right side shows AA of FIG. 16 (a). 'Cross section is shown.

  The back light source 201 is disposed obliquely on the side of the outer periphery 200a of the game board 200, that is, on the side of the game board 200, facing the player side. The position of the rear light source 201 in the front-rear direction is substantially the same as the position of the game board 200. Red light is emitted from the back light source 201. The reflecting means 7031 is provided on the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703, and causes the design of the letters “emergency” to appear in a predetermined direction on the player side. That is, in the sixth embodiment, the design of the letters “emergency” is played by the reflecting means 7031 reflecting the light from the back light source 201 and the light from the side light emitting means 709. Appears in a predetermined direction. The front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 provided with the reflection means 7031 shown in FIG. 16A is normally attached so as to be parallel to the game board 200. Even if the angle of the front frame door 106 with respect to the game board 200 is different, the side light emitting means 709 emits light between the front side surface (player side surface) 703a and the rear side surface (game board side surface) 703b of the translucent member 703. It fixes to the front frame door 106 so that it may irradiate. White light is emitted from the side light emitting means 709 corresponding to an example of the first irradiation means in the present invention. In FIG. 16A, the word “emergency” is indicated by a dotted line. However, in the state shown in FIG. 16A, the back light source 201 and the side light emitting means 709 are turned off. Yes, this character is actually not visible to the player.

  FIG. 16C shows a state in which the rear light source 201 and the side light emitting means 709 are simultaneously turned on with the front frame door 106 being parallel to the game board 200, and FIG. d) shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB ′ of FIG.

  When the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 provided with the reflecting means 7031 is parallel to the game board 200, that is, when the front frame door 106 is firmly closed without being deformed. The angle X shown in FIG. 16C is 90 degrees. When the front frame door 106 is firmly closed without being deformed, the reflecting means 7031 makes a predetermined angle with respect to the optical axis 201L of the rear light source 201 corresponding to an example of the second irradiation means according to the present invention. It has a posture. FIG. 16D shows the eyes H of the player who is directly in front of the pachinko machine 100. The reflecting means 7031 shown in FIG. 16 (d) reflects white light from the side light emitting means 709 corresponding to an example of the first irradiating means according to the present invention, so that a predetermined direction on the player side (here, a game) A design 7096 (corresponding to an example of the first design in the present invention) of white letters “emergency” appears in front of the person H. However, the design 7096 of white characters “emergency” is hardly conspicuous for the player directly in front of the pachinko machine 100. On the other hand, the reflecting means 7031 does not reflect the light from the back light source 201, and the design of the letters “emergency” derived from the light from the back light source 201 does not appear. As described above, in the pachinko machine 100 according to the sixth embodiment, when the front frame door 106 is firmly closed without being deformed, it is difficult to see from the viewpoint position that the player will normally play. Is provided with a back light source 201.

  FIG. 16 (e) shows a state in which the rear light source 201 and the side light emitting means 709 are turned on simultaneously with the front frame door 106 tilted with respect to the game board 200, and FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC ′ of FIG.

  When the front frame door 106 having the translucent member 703 provided with the reflection means 7031 is tilted with respect to the game board 200 as shown in FIG. 16 (f), the angle y shown in FIG. It becomes less than 90 degrees. That is, when the front frame door 106 is inclined with respect to the game board 200, the reflection means 7031 is the above with respect to the optical axis 201L of the back light source 201 corresponding to an example of the second irradiation means according to the present invention. The posture has an angle different from the predetermined angle. FIG. 16 (f) also shows the eyes H of the player who is directly in front of the pachinko machine 100. The tilted reflecting means 7031 shown in FIG. 16 (f) reflects red light from the back light source 201 corresponding to an example of the second irradiating means according to the present invention, and a predetermined direction on the player side ( Here, a design 7096 ′ (corresponding to an example of the second design in the present invention) of a red character “emergency” appears in front of the player H). On the other hand, the reflecting means 7031 also reflects the light from the side light emitting means 709, but is in an inclined state, so that the light from the side light emitting means 709 is directed to a predetermined direction (here, the player H) The design of the white character “emergency” derived from the white light from the side light emitting means 709 does not appear in a predetermined direction on the player side. The design 7096 of the white character "emergency" derived from the white light from the side light emission means 709 shown in the figure (c), and the red light from the back light source 201 shown in the figure (e) In contrast to the design 7096 ′ of the red character “emergency” derived from the above, the back light source 201 is different from the design 7096 ′ derived from the white light from the side light emitting means 709 in addition to the brightness and the color of the character. The design 7096 ′ derived from the red light from the player is much more conspicuous for the player in front of the pachinko machine 100. When the front frame door 106 is tilted with respect to the game board 200, the front frame door 106 is half-opened, or the front door 106 is pry open (for example, deformed) due to fraud. To do. In these cases, the positional relationship between the back light source 201 and the reflecting means 7031 changes, and the design from a predetermined viewpoint position (here, the front in front of the player H) changes, and an abnormality or an illegal act may be noticed. It becomes easy. In the present embodiment, since the colors of the light sources are different from each other, the color of the design changes based on a change in the angle of the front frame door 106 with respect to the game board 200, so that the occurrence of an abnormality can be easily noticed.

  In the sixth embodiment, the design 7096 ′ derived from the red light from the back light source 201 is configured to be visible to the player located in front of the game table due to the occurrence of an abnormality. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the back light source 201 is provided at a corresponding position so that the design 7096 ′ can be photographed by a monitoring camera provided on the ceiling of the amusement shop only when an abnormality occurs, and the light emitted from the back light source 201 is You may make it reflect in the reflection means 7031 and go to the direction of the said monitoring camera. As a result, the design “emergency” is not reflected on the surveillance camera when the components that make up the gaming table are installed normally. Since it is possible to shoot the “situation”, it may be possible to detect the occurrence of fraud and abnormalities at an early stage.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing another aspect of the reflecting means. FIG. 17A shows the game board 200 in a state where the big hit lamp 207 is not lit and the side light emitting means 709 is lit, and FIG. 17B on the right side shows the game board 200. AA ′ cross-sectional view of FIG. Also, FIG. 17C shows the game board 200 in a state where the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the jackpot lamp 207 is lit, and FIG. BB 'sectional drawing of (c) is shown. Note that the position of the big hit lamp 207 shown in FIG. 17 is different from the position of the big hit lamp 207 shown in FIG. 8, and the big hit lamp 207 shown in FIG.

  In the above description, the reflecting means 7031 is formed in a lens shape on the rear side surface (side surface of the game board) 703b of the translucent member 703. However, in this different mode, FIG. 17B and FIG. As shown in the figure, light scattering particles and bubbles that reflect the irradiated light are dispersedly arranged inside the translucent member 703. These light scattering particles and bubbles correspond to the reflecting means 7031. Also by doing this, the reflection means 7031 reflects light incident from different directions (here, the direction intersecting the horizontal direction and the horizontal direction), and all or one of the predetermined designs 7097 according to the luminance of the incident light. The part appears in a predetermined direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 17A, when the side light emitting means 709 is turned on and the big hit lamp 207 is turned off, a predetermined design 7097 appears in a predetermined direction on the player side, and FIG. In the state where the side light emitting means 709 is turned off and the big hit lamp 207 is turned on, a part of the predetermined design 7097 appears in a predetermined direction on the player side. That is, the reflecting means 7031 causes the design 7098 to appear excluding a part of the predetermined design 7097. In other words, the reflecting means 7031 causes a design 7098 different from the predetermined design 7097 to appear.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a seventh embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine of the seventh embodiment, a moving light source is provided instead of the big hit lamp 207. This moving light source corresponds to an example of the second irradiation means referred to in the present invention.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an optical relationship between the moving light source and the side light emitting means in the pachinko machine 100 according to the seventh embodiment. FIG. 18 (a) shows the gaming board 200 in which both the side light emitting means 709 and the moving light source are not lit, and FIG. 18 (b) on the right side of FIG. -A 'cross-sectional view is shown. As shown in FIG. 18A, a rail member 217 that extends horizontally in the left-right direction is provided at the top of the effect device 206, that is, above the decorative symbol display device 208. The moving light source 219 is guided by the rail member 217 and moves in the left-right direction of the game board 200. The moving light source 219 shown in FIG. 18A is located near the center of the rail member 217, that is, near the center of the moving region. When the side light emitting means 709 emits light while the moving light source 219 is turned off, the predetermined design shown in FIG. 8A (the first design of the present invention) is displayed in a predetermined direction on the player side. Appears as an example).

  FIG. 18C shows the game board 200 in which the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the moving light source 219 located at the right end of the moving area is lit. BB 'sectional drawing of the same figure (c) is shown. The moving light source 219 shown in FIG. 18C is located at the position (first position) farthest from the reflecting means 7031. In other words, the side light emitting means 709 is located farthest from the irradiation region of the side light emitting means 709. When the moving light source 219 is turned on at this first position, a small amount of light reaches the reflecting means 7031, and a part of the light from the moving light source 219 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031, and is predetermined in a predetermined direction on the player side. 7091 '(corresponding to an example of the second design referred to in the present invention) appears. In FIG. 18 as well, the design using light is expressed in a darker color as the luminance is higher.

  FIG. 18 (e) shows the gaming board 200 in which the side light emitting means 709 is not lit and the moving light source 219 located at the left end of the moving area is lit, and FIG. CC sectional view of the same figure (e) is shown. The moving light source 219 shown in FIG. 18E is at a position (second position) closest to the reflecting means 7031. When the moving light source 219 is lit at this second position, sufficient light reaches the reflecting means 7031, and most of the light from the moving light source 219 is reflected by the reflecting means 7031, and a predetermined direction on the player side is predetermined. A part of the design 7091, or in some cases, the entire predetermined design 7091 appears.

  In the seventh embodiment, the moving light source 219 always emits light with the same brightness regardless of the position. Even if the brightness (brightness) of the moving light source 219 is the same, the amount of light emitted to the reflecting means 7031 differs depending on the position (irradiation position) of the moving light source, so that the design that appears differs. The visibility of the design varies depending on the position of the light source, the directivity of the light emitted from the light source (the direction of light), the brightness of the light source, and the like, but the design is changed by irradiation with a movable light source (here, the moving light source 219). When it becomes visible, at least when the light source emits light from a predetermined position, the design that is visible to the player is one of the designs that can be seen when light is emitted from the side light emitting means 709. The part is missing. It should be noted that the movable movable object (here, the moving light source 219) provided with the light source may be moved based on an opportunity such as winning of a predetermined role by the determination of winning / failing (lottery). For example, when the determination result is a hit, the moving light source 219 is moved to the second position to cause the moving light source 219 to emit light at the second position. When the determination result is lost, the first light source The moving light source 219 may be moved to the position so that the moving light source 219 emits light at the first position.

  As described above, in the seventh embodiment, the side light emitting unit 709 corresponding to an example of the second irradiation unit is movably provided, and the irradiation at the first position and the irradiation at the second position are as follows. Make the visibility of the second design changeable. Even in this way, it is possible to produce a variety of various effects using light.

  In addition, as described above, as a countermeasure against fraud, when the distance between the reflecting unit and the second irradiation unit such as the back light source is different from a predetermined state, the visual state at a predetermined position changes. You may comprise so that it may do.

  In some cases, the first design and the second design can be made the same by providing a plurality of second irradiation means such as a back light source and irradiating the reflection means with light from all directions.

  Furthermore, the color of the light irradiated by the second irradiation unit and the color of the light irradiated by the first irradiation unit such as the side light emitting unit 709 may be different.

  The appearance direction of the design is preferably a direction toward the front surface of the game table, but is not limited to this direction.

  In addition, a specific design may be caused to appear by light irradiation of the second irradiation means such as the back light source immediately before the predetermined design appears by light irradiation of the first irradiation means such as the side light emitting means 709. Good. In this case, whether or not the second irradiating means irradiates the light while the first irradiating means irradiates light is free, and the second irradiating is to suggest the existence of the predetermined design. The aspect which irradiates the light of a means may be sufficient.

  In addition, a plurality of second irradiating means such as a back light source is provided, light irradiation from the second irradiating means provided at the predetermined first position, and from the second irradiating means provided at the predetermined second position. The specific visual state of the design may be different from the light irradiation. In this case, the specific design that can be visually recognized by light irradiation from the second irradiation means provided at the first position, and the visual recognition by light irradiation from the second irradiation means provided at the second position. Of course, the specific design may be different. For example, in the example in FIG. 21, “BO” becomes visible by irradiation of light from the second irradiation means provided at the first position, and light from the second irradiation means provided at the second position. It may be configured such that “NUS” can be visually recognized by irradiation, or may be configured such that “BON” and “NUS” partially overlap each other.

  In the above description, “when the result of the determination is a specific determination result (for example, big hit), the first control state (for example, non-big hit game) in which the advantage for the player is the first advantage. In the gaming machine that shifts the control state from the state) to the second control state (for example, jackpot gaming state) that is the second advantage that is higher than the first advantage, the translucent material is used. A translucent member (703) formed and having a first surface (for example, front side surface 703a) and a second surface (for example, rear side surface 703b) facing the first surface, and a first of the translucent member A first irradiating means (for example, a side light emitting means 709) for irradiating light between the surface and the second surface; and a light emitted from the first irradiating means in a predetermined direction. (For example, the player side) by reflecting toward the predetermined direction The first design (for example, the predetermined design 7091 shown in FIG. 8) to appear, and the second irradiating light to the reflection unit from a direction different from the irradiation direction of the first irradiation unit Irradiating means (for example, a big hit lamp 207), and the reflecting means reflects the light emitted from the second irradiating means toward the predetermined direction, whereby the first design is applied in the predetermined direction. A game machine characterized by causing a second design (for example, a part of the predetermined design 7091 shown in FIG. 8) to appear. Is explained.

  For example, the first surface may be a front surface (player side), and the second surface may be a back surface. Further, for example, both the first irradiation unit and the second irradiation unit may be mirrors that reflect light emitted from a predetermined light emitter (light source) and irradiate in a predetermined irradiation direction. (Light source) itself may be sufficient. Further, the reflecting means may be formed on one of the first surface and the second surface. For example, when the second surface is a back surface, It may be formed. Further, the reflecting means may be provided between the first surface and the second surface, for example, may have a laminated structure. Furthermore, the reflecting means may be in the shape of a lens. Further, the second design may be a shape, a pattern, a color, or a combination thereof composed of at least a part of the first design.

  According to this game stand, there is a case where the interest of the player can be improved by executing various effects with various changes. In addition, when the light from the first irradiation means is reflected while suggesting to the player that the reflection means is provided on the translucent member by reflecting the light from the second irradiation means. Since the visual recognition state of the reflecting means can be different from that when the second irradiating means performs illumination, the player may be surprised.
