  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 (pachinko gaming machine) according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 10. The game board 10 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 103 that constitutes a passage for guiding a game ball launched by the operation of the launching device 62 (shooting handle) to the gaming area 102 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 102, a start winning port 104, a big winning port 106, an out port 107, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that is visible through the opening 101 formed in the game board 10.

  Further, the game area 102 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the game balls flowing down collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 102 changes into various modes according to the conditions when it collides with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 102 by operating the launch device 62. When game balls flowing down the game area 102 win a winning opening such as the start winning opening 104 or the big winning opening 106, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  It should be noted that description of components and control modes of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as a lower plate and an upper plate for storing game balls, a jackpot lottery method, and the like are omitted. About these, the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  Hereinafter, the game board 10 provided in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail. The game board 10 as a whole has a plate shape extending along a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction (the player's viewpoint direction facing the gaming machine 1; the player side is the front). The specific planar shape of the game board 10 may be any.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game board in the present embodiment includes a base portion 11, a reflection portion 12, and a subject portion 13. The base part 11 is a main body part constituting the skeleton of the game board. As will be described later, since the reflecting portion 12 and the subject portion 13 in the present embodiment are thin-film portions, it can be said that the shape of the base portion 11 is the shape of the game board itself. The said base part 11 is formed with the material which has a light transmittance. The base part 11 in this embodiment is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material.

  The reflection portion 12 (see FIGS. 2 and 3A) is a portion fixed to the rear surface of the base portion 11. The front surface of the reflection unit 12 is a reflection surface 121 (mirror surface) that reflects light. That is, the reflecting portion 12 is fixed to the base portion 11 such that the reflecting surface 121 is in close contact with the rear surface of the base portion 11. Any method may be used for forming the reflection portion 12. The reflection part 12 may be formed by bonding (attaching) a sheet-like member on which the reflection surface 121 is constructed to the front surface of the base part 11, or printing a mirror surface part on the rear surface of the base part 11. The reflection part 12 may be formed by the following. Since the base part 11 is light transmissive, the reflective surface 121 of the reflective part 12 is visually recognized by the player through the base part 11. A decorative surface other than the reflective surface 121 (hereinafter referred to as a rear decorative surface 122) may be formed on the front surface of the reflecting portion 12. If such a rear decorative surface 122 is formed, the rear decorative surface 122 is visually recognized by the player through the base portion 11.

  The object portion 13 (see FIGS. 2 and 3B and 3C) is a portion fixed to the front surface of the base portion 11. That is, a part of the base portion 11 is sandwiched between the reflecting portion 12 and the subject portion 13 in the front-rear direction. The subject portion 13 is fixed to the base portion 11 such that the rear surface thereof is in close contact with the front surface of the base portion 11. Any method may be used to form the subject portion 13. The portion to be imaged 13 may be formed by joining (pasting) a sheet-like member on which a first decorative surface 131 and a second decorative surface 132, which will be described later, are constructed, to the front surface of the base portion 11. The imaged portion 13 may be formed by printing on the front surface of.

  The rear surface of the portion to be imaged 13, that is, the surface on the base portion 11 side is a first decorative surface 131 to which a predetermined decoration is applied. Any decoration may be used. As will be described in detail later, the first decorative surface 131 is a portion that is visually recognized by the player by being reflected by the reflective surface 121 of the reflective portion 12, so the first decorative surface 131 (the subject portion 13). It is preferable that at least a part of be disposed so as to overlap the reflective surface 121 (reflecting portion 12) in the front-rear direction. However, a portion where the player's line of sight is oblique (referred to as a direction inclined with respect to the facing direction (front-rear direction)) is the first decorative surface even if the first decorative surface 131 does not overlap the reflective surface 121. Since 131 is visually recognized through the reflective surface 121, at least a part of the first decorative surface 131 does not necessarily have to overlap the reflective surface 121. For example, the portion on the outer side in the width direction of the game board is a portion where the line of sight of the player is oblique, and the positional relationship between the first decorative surface 131 and the reflective surface 121 is set based on this.

  The front surface of the imaged portion 13, that is, the surface opposite to the base portion 11 side is a second decorative surface 132 that is provided with a predetermined decoration. Any decoration may be used. The second decorative surface 132 is the decoration itself constructed on the front surface of the game board. That is, it is a decorative part that is directly visible to the player.

  The operation of the gaming machine 1 (game board) configured as described above will be described below although partially overlapping with the above description.

  The front surface of the game board is decorated by the front surface of the subject portion 13, that is, the second decorative surface 132. It may be decorated with a member other than the subject portion 13. As described above, the second decorative surface 132 of the subject portion 13 is a portion that is directly visible to the player, and directly decorates the game area 101 constructed on the front surface of the game board (see FIG. 2). ).

  On the other hand, the player can visually recognize the reflecting surface 121 of the reflecting portion 12 fixed to the rear surface of the base portion 11 through the light-transmitting base portion 11. A first decorative surface 131 (image S), which is the rear surface of the portion to be imaged 13, is projected onto the reflecting surface 121 (see FIG. 2). That is, the first decorative surface 131 is visually recognized through the reflective surface 121. Depending on the line of sight of the player, the first decorative surface 131 and the second decorative surface 132 are shifted and viewed by the thickness of the base portion 11. That is, it is visually recognized as a three-dimensional (depth sense) decoration mode. If the sizes of the first decorative surface 131 and the second decorative surface 132 are substantially the same, the decoration having the same size is captured as if they are shifted, so that the decorative effect is high.

  The higher the reflectance of the reflecting surface 121 is, the clearer the first decorative surface 131 projected on the reflecting surface 121 is. Further, since the image S of the first decorative surface 131 projected on the reflecting surface 121 is visually recognized through the base portion 11, depending on the level of light transmittance of the base portion 11 and the color of the base portion 11, Various aspects of the image of the first decorative surface 131 projected on the reflecting surface 121 change. For example, the image S of the first decorative surface 131 projected on the reflecting surface 121 is visually recognized by reducing the reflectance of the reflecting surface 121 or reducing the light transmittance of the base portion 11. Fantastic decorative aspects can also be constructed.

  Hereinafter, modifications of the above embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the above embodiment. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied each modification demonstrated below independently, and good also as a structure applied in combination of multiple.

First Modification In the above-described embodiment, the object portion 13 has the first decorative surface 131 formed on the rear side (base portion 11 side) and the second decorative surface 132 formed on the front side (opposite side of the base portion 11). However, it is not always necessary to have a decorative surface on both sides. The decorative surface means a surface on which some kind of image is intentionally drawn.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the rear surface of the imaged portion 13 can be a single color surface that is not decorated. When the object portion 13 is constructed by a seal-like member, the color of the seal (the color of the base material of the seal) itself may be used. In this way, even if no decoration is applied to the rear surface of the imaged portion 13, a decorative effect due to the rear surface of the imaged portion 13 being projected onto the reflecting portion 12 is exhibited. Specifically, when the rear surface of the imaged portion 13 is projected onto the reflecting portion 12, the projected image is a “shadow” of the decoration constructed by the second decorative surface 132 that is the front surface of the imaged portion 13 (FIG. 4 (shown as S1 in FIG. 4). Therefore, an unprecedented decoration effect that the decoration constructed by the second decoration surface 132 is viewed three-dimensionally is exhibited. By setting the rear surface of the imaged portion 13 to “black” or “black color”, the effect of being visually recognized as if it is the “shadow” is enhanced.

Second Modification The imaged portion 13 does not necessarily have to be a thin film portion for decoration. Various members constituting the game area 102 (hereinafter referred to as the game area constituting member 20) fixed to the game board (base portion 11) such as game nails and fixed accessories may function as the subject portion 13. . For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that a member (hereinafter referred to as a winning member) that forms a winning opening through which a game ball wins a game board is provided as the gaming area constituting member 20. Since the winning member is fixed to the front surface of the base portion 11, the reflecting portion 12 (reflecting surface 121) is positioned at a position where the shadow of the winning member (indicated by S2 in FIG. 5) is projected. Thus, it is possible to construct a decoration aspect in which the winning member is visually recognized in three dimensions (decorative aspect in which the “shadow” of the winning member is visually recognized). A predetermined decoration may be applied to the rear surface of the winning member, and the decoration may be projected onto the reflecting surface 121.

Third Modification In the above embodiment, as a function of projecting the first decorative surface 131 onto the reflecting surface 121, if the player's line of sight is inclined, the position where the first decorative surface 131 actually exists and the visual recognition It is mentioned that the position where it is done shifts. By using this, it is possible to construct a state as if decoration is provided at a place where decoration is difficult to apply.

  For example, it is assumed that it is difficult to decorate the part because the game area constituting member 20 such as a game nail or a fixed accessory is provided (hereinafter, this part is referred to as a difficult decoration part). In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, in the plane direction of the game board, the portion to be imaged 13 (first decoration surface 131) (the decoration pattern of the front and rear surfaces is shown in FIG. b) (see (c)), the subject portion 13 (first decoration surface 131) is not actually provided in the difficult-to-decoration portion, but depending on the direction of the player's line of sight, the reflection portion 12 The image projected on the reflecting surface 121 (shown as S3 in FIG. 6A) is as if the part is decorated. In this way, the subject portion 13 (first decorative surface 131) is provided in a region other than the difficult decoration portion where the game area constituting member 20 is provided, and depending on the direction of the player's line of sight, the subject portion 13 (first decorative surface 131) is provided. It is possible to apply a decoration to a part that has been difficult to decorate in the past (as if the decoration was applied) by making the part 131) appear as a difficult decoration part. Become.

-4th modification Although the reflection part 12 was fixed to the rear surface of the base part 11, and the to-be-photographed part 13 was fixed to the front surface of the base part 11 in the said embodiment, it is an example to the last. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the base portion 11 is composed of two light-transmitting members (a first base portion 111 and a second base portion 112), and the reflecting portion 12 and the subject portion are interposed between the two members. 13 may be sandwiched. That is, the reflecting portion 12 and the imaged portion 13 do not necessarily have to be formed on the rear surface or the front surface of the base portion 11, and the reflecting portion 12 and the imaged portion 13 in the front-rear direction (the thickness direction of the base portion 11). It suffices if the base portion 11 is partly sandwiched between them. In other words, it suffices if the imaged part 13 is located in front of the reflecting part 12 (player side).

-Fifth Modification A configuration similar to the above may be applied to game members other than the game board. For example, a configuration similar to the above may be applied to a so-called accessory (a movable accessory that operates within a predetermined range or a fixed accessory fixed at a predetermined position).

  As mentioned above, although embodiment (and modification) of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. .
