  As shown in FIG. 61, a switch cover frame 130 made of, for example, resin is provided on the right side wall GR of the cabinet G, and a base 131 and a cylindrical member 132 are provided on the switch cover frame 130. The base 131 and the cylindrical member 132 of the present embodiment form a switch cover of the present invention.

  The base 131 extends from the right side wall GR of the cabinet G to the inside of the cabinet G. Here, the inside of the cabinet G is the left side with respect to the right side wall GR, and the base 131 extends from the right side wall GR toward the left side wall GL of the cabinet G. In FIG. 61, the side wall G2 of the cabinet G is specifically described as a left side wall GL and a right side wall GR. The right side wall GR of the cabinet G of the present embodiment constitutes the side wall of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 63, the cylindrical member 132 is attached to the front of the base 131, and faces the base 131 in the front-rear direction. That is, the cylindrical member 132 is attached to the base 131 so as to be located on the lower door mechanism DD side in a closed state with respect to the base 131.

  As shown in FIG. 61, a medal auxiliary storage 30 is installed below the cylindrical member 132, and a hopper device 31 is installed to the left of the medal auxiliary storage 30 as a hopper mechanism HP. The hopper device 31 is installed below the cabinet G. The hopper device 31 has a structure capable of storing a large number of medals and discharging the stored medals one by one. The medals discharged from the hopper device 31 are discharged from the medal payout exit DD14 through the cancel chute 120.

  The medal auxiliary storage 31 stores medals overflowing from the hopper device 31. The medal auxiliary storage 30 is installed on the right side of the hopper device 31, and the cylindrical member 132 is installed above the medal auxiliary storage 30 in a space between the hopper device 31 and the right side wall GR of the cabinet G. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 62, the switch cover frame 130 extends vertically. The switch cover frame 130 is attached to the right side wall GR of the cabinet G, and extends vertically along the left side wall GL of the cabinet G.

  The base 131 is formed of a square plate-shaped member, and has a right end connected to the switch cover frame 130 and extends from the switch cover frame 130 toward the inside of the cabinet G.

  Projecting pieces 131A and 131B are provided on the upper end and the lower end of the base 131, respectively. A shaft member 133 is rotatably attached to the protruding pieces 131A and 131B, and the cylindrical member 132 is connected to the shaft member 133. Thus, the cylindrical member 132 is rotatably attached to the base 131 via the shaft member 133.

  As shown in FIGS. 62 and 63, the cylindrical member 132 has a circular contact portion 132A and an annular wall portion 132B protruding forward from the outer peripheral edge of the contact portion 132A and connected to the shaft member 133. .

  When the lower door mechanism DD is closed, as shown in FIG. 59, the cylindrical member 132 and the door open / close monitoring switch 61 face each other in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 58, the tip of the protrusion 123B of the knob 123 can be brought into contact with the contact portion 132A, and when the lower door mechanism DD is closed, the annular wall portion 132B becomes a cylindrical portion. 124e.

  That is, when the lower door mechanism DD is closed from the open state, the tip of the protrusion 123B of the knob 123 comes into contact with the contact portion 132A, and as the lower door mechanism DD is closed, the protrusion 123B becomes a cover member. It is pushed inward of 124.

  As a result, the tubular portion 124e enters the annular wall portion 132B, and the tubular portion 124e is surrounded by the annular wall portion 132B when the lower door mechanism DD is closed.

  When the plungers 122a and 122b are pushed into the door open / close monitoring switch main bodies 122A and 122B, the detection terminal comes into contact with the detected terminal. At this time, the door opening / closing monitoring switch bodies 122A and 122B transmit a security signal indicating that the lower door mechanism DD has been closed to the main control board 71 via the door relay terminal plate 54.

  When the lower door mechanism DD is opened, the protrusion 123B moves away from the contact part 132A due to the forward movement of the lower door mechanism DD. At this time, when the plungers 122a and 122b press the knob 123 by the urging force of the urging member, the protruding portion 123B largely protrudes outward from the cylindrical portion 124e.

  Thereby, the detection terminal is separated from the detected terminal. At this time, the door opening / closing monitoring switch bodies 122A and 122B do not transmit a signal to the main control board 71 via the door relay terminal plate 54. Thus, the main control board 71 determines that the lower door mechanism DD has been opened.

  As shown in FIG. 62, the left end 132a of the annular wall portion 132B is located on the inner side of the cabinet G, that is, on the left side wall GL side of the side surface 131a of the base 131 opposite to the right side wall GR (on the left side wall GL side). positioned.

  As shown in FIG. 64, when the lower door mechanism DD is open, the slit 124s is formed to have a length located behind the flange 123A. As shown in FIG. 65, when the lower door mechanism DD is closed, the slit 124s is formed to have a length such that the front end portion 124t in the extending direction is covered by the flange 123A. That is, the length of the slit 124s is set such that the tip 124t of the slit 124s overlaps the flange 123A in a direction orthogonal to the reciprocating direction of the knob 123 when the lower door mechanism DD is closed.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is installed in the lower door mechanism DD provided in the cabinet G so as to be openable and closable, and the door open / close monitoring switch 61 for detecting the opening and closing of the lower door mechanism DD; And a base member 131 and a cylindrical member 132 provided on the base member.

  The door opening / closing monitoring switch 61 includes plungers 122a, 122b and a knob 123 that are reciprocally movable, a door opening / closing monitoring switch body 122A, 122B, a housing member 121 that houses the door opening / closing monitoring switch body 122A, 122B, and a knob. A cover member 124 having a tubular portion 124 e for reciprocatingly supporting the knob 123 so that the distal end portion of the 123 protrudes to the outside, and being attached to the housing member 121.

  The cylindrical member 132 includes a contact portion 132A to which the protrusion 123B of the knob 123 can contact, and an annular wall projecting forward from the contact portion 132A and surrounding the cylindrical portion 124e when the lower door mechanism DD is closed. 132B.

  Thus, even if a wire or the like is inserted through a gap between the cabinet G and the lower door mechanism DD to access the door open / close monitoring switch 61, the wire or the like is blocked by the cylindrical member 132 and can be prevented from interfering with the knob 123. For this reason, a goto action can be prevented.

  The cylindrical member 132 is attached to a base 131 extending from the right wall GR of the cabinet G to the inside of the cabinet G. The left end 132a of the annular wall portion 132B of the cylindrical member 132 is connected to the right wall GR of the cabinet G. Is located on the inner side of the cabinet G than the side surface 131a of the base 131 on the opposite side.

  Thereby, when the worker accesses a part near the base 131, for example, the medal auxiliary storage 30 or the hopper device 31, the worker's hand or the like contacts the base 131 with the annular wall 132 </ b> B. The contact can be made to prevent the hand or the like of the worker from contacting the base 131. Since the outer peripheral portion of the annular wall portion 132B is curved, even if the hand or the like of the worker comes into contact, the hand or the like can be prevented from being damaged, and the worker can be protected.

  Further, projecting pieces 131A and 131B are provided at the upper end and the lower end of the base 131, and a shaft member 133 is attached to the projecting pieces 131A and 131B. In addition, the cylindrical member 132 is rotatably attached to the base 131 via the shaft member 133.

  Accordingly, when the hand or the like of the worker comes into contact with the annular wall portion 132B, the cylindrical member 132 swings (rotates) with the shaft member 133 as a fulcrum, so that the hand or the like of the worker can be rotated. It can reduce the impact when it comes into contact with. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hand and the like of the worker from being damaged, and it is possible to more effectively protect the worker.

  Further, according to gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, lower wall 124B of cover member 124 has slit 124s extending from engaging portion 124b along the reciprocating direction of knob 123.

  The knob 123 has a flange 123A that can abut on the rear wall 124E, and the slit 124s has a length such that the distal end 124t in the extending direction of the slit 124s is covered by the flange 123A when the lower door mechanism DD is closed. Is formed.

  Accordingly, even if a wire or the like is inserted into the inside of the cover member 124 through the slit 124s, the wire or the like can be prevented from being inserted in front of the flange 123A, and the knob 123 cannot be moved in the pushing direction. The position of the pushed knob 123 cannot be maintained. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the door opening / closing monitoring switch bodies 122A and 122B from erroneously detecting that the lower door mechanism DD is in a closed state despite the lower door mechanism DD being opened, and to prevent a malfunction. Actions can be more effectively prevented.

  Further, since the slit 124s is provided on the lower wall 124B of the cover member 124, it becomes more difficult to insert a wire or the like into the slit 124s as compared with the case where the slit 124s is provided on the upper wall 124A of the cover member 124. It can contribute to the deterrence of Goto behavior.

  Although the door opening / closing monitoring switch 61 of the present embodiment is housed in the housing member 121 provided at the right end of the cancel chute 120, it may be housed in an independent housing member.

  In addition, the door opening / closing monitoring switch 61 of the present embodiment has a pair of door opening / closing monitoring switch bodies 122A and 122B, but includes one door opening / closing monitoring switch body or three or more door opening / closing monitoring switch bodies. May be.

  In addition, the reciprocating member of the present embodiment includes the plungers 122a and 122b provided on the door open / close monitoring switch bodies 122A and 122B and the knob 123, but may include a single member.

[Configuration of identification information display section]
Next, the configuration of the identification information display section according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 66, in the gaming machine 1, identification information display sections 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505 are provided for each of the gaming machine components constituting the gaming machine 1.

  In the identification information display sections 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505, a two-dimensional code in which identification information for identifying the gaming machine component provided with each is displayed. Specifically, a sticker on which a two-dimensional code is printed is attached to each of the identification information display units 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505. The two-dimensional code may be displayed directly on each game machine component, for example, instead of being attached with a sticker, and is not particularly limited to a method of attaching with a sticker.

  The identification information for identifying each gaming machine component includes information indicating the date and time of manufacture of the gaming machine component and the location of the gaming machine component (such as a company factory or an external factory). The above-described identification information may include, for example, component manufacturer information, component type information, and the like, in addition to the above-described information.

  As the two-dimensional code, for example, a known QR code (registered trademark) or the like can be used.

  The identification information display section 500 is provided on an upper surface (top surface) of a cabinet G as a game machine main body. The identification information display section 500 displays a unique two-dimensional code for each cabinet G to distinguish it from other cabinets G.

  The identification information display section 501 is provided in the display unit A. The identification information display section 502 is provided in the power supply device 44. The identification information display unit 503 is provided in the hopper device 31. The identification information display section 504 is provided on the reel unit RU. The identification information display unit 505 is provided on the lower door mechanism DD.

  Such an identification information display section is provided on other game machine components such as the upper door mechanism UD, the selector unit, the liquid crystal unit, and the sub-board unit, in addition to the above-described game machine components. In the present embodiment, among the plurality of identification information display units, a representative identification information display unit is described with reference numerals.

  The identification information display units 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505 are two-dimensionally displayed by an operator using, for example, a portable terminal capable of reading a two-dimensional code in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine 1. The code is read. Thereby, the date and time of manufacture and the place of manufacture of each gaming machine component are grasped.

  Further, the read identification information is transferred to a data server for manufacturing management, and each gaming machine 1 and each gaming machine component attached to the gaming machine 1 are centrally managed on the data server.

  These identification information display portions 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505 are visually recognized from the outside (the front of the gaming machine 1) with the interior of the cabinet G open so as to be easily read in the manufacturing process as described above. They are located where possible.

  For this reason, when reading a two-dimensional code using a portable terminal or the like, there is no need to remove the gaming machine components from the cabinet G, and the gaming machine components remain attached to the cabinet G. The two-dimensional code displayed on the part can be read.

  Here, in a state where the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G (a state where the upper opening G101 is closed), the display unit A is hidden behind the upper door mechanism UD when viewed from the front of the gaming machine 1. I will.

  Therefore, when the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G, the two-dimensional code displayed on the identification information display unit 501 of the display unit A may be hidden behind the upper door mechanism UD.

  In the case where the upper door mechanism UD is configured to be detachable separately from the cabinet G (not to be rotatably attached to the cabinet G) as in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, one step is performed in the manufacturing process. After the completion of the assembling, the cabinet G is transported, for example, in a factory with the upper door mechanism UD attached. Therefore, when the gaming machine 1 is brought into a process of reading a two-dimensional code using a portable terminal or the like after the assembly is completed, the upper door mechanism UD is often attached to the cabinet G.

  In this case, in order to read the two-dimensional code displayed on the identification information display unit 501 of the display unit A, the upper door mechanism UD must be removed, which is troublesome.

  Therefore, the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the two-dimensional code displayed on the identification information display unit 501 of the display unit A can be read even when the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G. ing. Hereinafter, a specific configuration will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 66, the display unit A has a protrusion C100 protruding from the space behind the upper opening G101 toward the space behind the lower opening G102. The protruding portion C100 is formed so as to protrude downward from the front end of the bottom plate C1 (see FIGS. 5 and 9) of the projector housing C10.

  The protruding portion C100 is provided with an identification information display portion 501 of the display unit A. The identification information display unit 501 is provided on the protrusion C100 such that the display surface of the two-dimensional code faces the front of the gaming machine 1. That is, the identification information display section 501 is provided on the front surface of the protrusion C100.

  As shown in FIG. 69, the protruding portion C100 protrudes below the mounting surface G11 of the intermediate support plate G1 on which the display unit A is mounted.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 67, when the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G, the protruding portion C100 is located in the space behind the lower opening G102.

  For this reason, in the state where the upper door mechanism UD shields the upper opening G101 and the lower door mechanism DD opens the lower opening G102 (the state where the lower opening G102 is not shielded), the protrusion C100 faces the front of the gaming machine 1. The identification information display section 501 can be visually recognized from the side (outside the cabinet G).

  As shown in FIG. 68 (a), in the gaming machine 1 in which the assembling is completed, the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G so as to shield the upper opening G101, and the lower door mechanism DD is opened at the lower opening. With the section G102 closed, the sheet is transported to a place where the reading step of each identification information display section is performed in the manufacturing process.

  As shown in FIG. 68 (b), in the reading step, if only the lower door mechanism DD is opened while the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G, the identification information display section 501 provided on the protrusion C100 is provided. Are visible from the lower opening G102.

  Thus, the identification information display section 501 of the display unit A can be read without having to remove the upper door mechanism UD from the cabinet G as shown in FIG. Therefore, the two-dimensional codes of all the game machine components provided with the identification information display section can be read only by opening the lower door mechanism DD while the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G.

  Here, the upper door mechanism UD is configured to be detachable from the cabinet G, and the removal from the cabinet G is restricted when the lower door mechanism DD closes the lower opening G102. Has become. Thus, the upper door mechanism UD cannot open the upper opening G101 while the lower door mechanism DD closes the lower opening G102.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 69, the lower door mechanism DD has a restricting portion 550 formed at an upper portion thereof so as to protrude rearward. The regulation section 550 is provided to extend in the left-right direction of the gaming machine 1.

  In addition, the upper door mechanism UD has a groove 560 formed in a lower part in a concave shape toward the rear. The groove 560 is provided to extend in the left-right direction of the gaming machine 1.

  The regulating portion 550 of the lower door mechanism DD comes into contact with the groove 560 of the upper door mechanism UD when the lower door mechanism DD is closed with the upper door mechanism UD attached to the cabinet G.

  Thus, only the upper door mechanism UD cannot be opened or removed while the opening G100 (see FIG. 4) of the cabinet G is closed by the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD. I have.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the cabinet G is set in a state where the upper door mechanism UD blocks the upper opening G101 and the lower door mechanism DD does not block the lower opening G102. Of the display unit A disposed in the space behind the upper opening G101 even when the upper opening G101 is shielded in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine 1, for example. It becomes possible to read the two-dimensional code in which the is encoded by a portable terminal or the like. This makes it possible to read the two-dimensional code of the display unit A without removing the upper door mechanism UD which is troublesome to attach and detach.

  Therefore, even if the gaming machine 1 covers the opening G100 (see FIG. 4) of the cabinet G by the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD, the identification information display section 501 can be easily checked, and the manufacturing process can be easily performed. Work efficiency can be prevented from lowering.

  Further, since the protruding portion C100 protrudes below the mounting surface G11 of the intermediate support plate G1 on which the display unit A is mounted, when the display unit A is mounted on the intermediate support plate G1, the protruding portion C100 is used. When the rear side of the projection abuts against the intermediate support plate G1, the projection C100 can function as a stopper. Further, when the display unit A is detached from the intermediate support plate G1, the protrusion C100 can be made to function as a grip for the operator to put his finger on.

  The upper door mechanism UD may not be of a detachable type but may be of a rotary type similarly to the lower door mechanism DD. If the gaming machine components are arranged so that the identification information display section 501 can be viewed when either the upper door mechanism UD or the lower door mechanism DD is opened, both of them can be checked when the identification information display section 501 is checked. It is not necessary to open the doors (the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD), thereby improving work efficiency.

  In the present embodiment, only the lower door mechanism DD is of a rotary type, and the rotary lower door mechanism DD is provided with a key hole DD9 (see FIG. 3) for a door key used at the time of a door opening operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the upper door mechanism UD may be provided with a pivot type and the lower door mechanism DD may be provided with a detachable type, and a key hole for a door key may be provided in the upper door mechanism UD.

  In this case, for example, as in the present embodiment, the identification information display portion of the gaming machine component disposed behind the lower opening G102 is arranged from the space behind the lower opening G102 to the rear of the upper opening G101. It is preferable to provide it on a protruding portion protruding toward the space side. Thereby, when the upper door mechanism UD, which is the door that is easy to open, is opened, the identification information display section of the gaming machine component disposed behind the lower opening G102 can be visually recognized, and the working efficiency is increased. .

  When there are two or more door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G, all of the door members may be detachable. May be visible.

  Further, the identification information display section may be visually recognized when the attaching / detaching operation is performed halfway without completely completing the attaching / detaching operation of the door member. For example, if the identification information display section is configured to be visible when the detachable door member is slightly lifted in the attachment / detachment work, there is no need to attach / detach the entire door member when checking the identification information display section. Therefore, the working efficiency is improved and the fatigue of the worker is reduced.

  Further, the door member that shields the opening G100 of the cabinet G is not limited to two, the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD. As a configuration including three or more door members, identification is performed in a state where any one of the door members or a plurality of door members that are not all (for example, two of the door members are three in total) is opened. The information display unit may be made visible.

  The upper door mechanism UD may be attached to the cabinet G so as to be difficult to open and close or to attach and detach in a hall (game room). In this case, the upper door mechanism UD functions not as a door member but as a mere shielding member, making it difficult to access the inside of the gaming machine, and enhancing security.

  Further, when the number of door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G is three or more, it is optional whether any one of the door members is a rotating type or a detachable type. When two are detachable and one is rotatable, the identification information display section may be visible when the rotatable door member is opened. Further, in the case of a structure in which the rotation of the pivotable door member is restricted by another detachable door member, the identification information display section may be made visible when the detachable door member is detached.

  In the case where the number of door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G is two or more, the function is not limited to the configuration in which the two or more door members are arranged vertically, but may have a function of shielding the opening G100 of the cabinet G. For example, the arrangement of the door members is not limited to the arrangement of the present embodiment. For example, a so-called double door configuration may be adopted in which two door members are arranged side by side on the left and right, and these two door members are opened so as to rotate outward from the center of the gaming machine. Further, both of the two door members arranged on the left and right may be detachable, or one of them may be detachable. Further, another door member may be further arranged on either the upper or lower side of the two door members arranged side by side. Also in this case, all of the door members may be detachable, or any of the door members may be detachable.

  In such a case, it is desirable that the identification information display portion be visible when the door member that is easier to open and close or detach is opened.

  Further, the door member that shields the opening G100 of the cabinet G may be a door member having a main door provided with a sub door. The sub door is rotatably supported by the main door. In this case, it is possible to open only the subdoor, so that security can be improved.

  Alternatively, the sub-door may be configured to be detachable from the main door, and the sub-door may be provided with an engagement portion for the main door, so that the sub-door does not directly engage with the cabinet G. Further, the sub door may be configured to engage with both the cabinet G and the main door. Note that the sub door may be configured by an opening and closing member that is slidable with respect to the main door.

  In the case of a configuration in which the sub door is provided on the main door, the identification information display unit may be visible when the sub door is opened or removed.

  Further, the door member that shields the opening G100 of the cabinet G may be used as an outside door, and an inside door may be provided inside the cabinet G in addition to the outside door. The outer door may be pivotable or detachable.

  In this case, the configuration may be such that the identification information display section becomes visible when the outer door is opened or removed.

  Alternatively, a plurality of pivotable or detachable inner doors may be provided inside the cabinet G, and the identification information display unit may be visually recognized when any one of the inner doors is opened or removed. Good. In this case, the identification information display section can be checked without opening or removing all the inner doors, so that the efficiency of the checking operation can be increased.

  Further, one or more of the door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G may be configured by a sliding door member. In this case, the sliding direction of the sliding door member may be any of right and left, up and down, front and back, and oblique directions. Further, the sliding door member may be of a type that rotates around a certain fulcrum.

  Unlike the pivoting door member, the sliding door member does not require a large space in a direction outside the gaming machine (particularly in front of the gaming machine) when opening and closing the door member. It can be easily opened and closed even in a situation where gaming machines are densely arranged in a warehouse.

  When a sliding door member is used, the identification information display section may be visible when the sliding door member is opened.

  If the sliding door member can be opened and closed from the outside of the gaming machine, the opening of the door member by sliding from the outside of the gaming machine before shipment of the gaming machine is restricted in consideration of security when installing the gaming machine in the game arcade. It is preferable to provide a lock mechanism that can be locked.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the interior of the cabinet G is partitioned into the upper space and the lower space by the intermediate support plate G1, but the interior of the cabinet G may not be partitioned without the intermediate support plate G1. When a large game machine component is mounted inside the cabinet G, it is desirable not to partition the inside.

  In addition, in the case of a gaming machine that can be played only with a game value by electronic data without using a tangible object such as a medal or a game ball as a game medium, a hopper device or the like is not required, so that such a gaming machine also has an intermediate support. The plate G1 may not be provided. In this case, it is desirable to provide a mounting table that matches the height of the display window (the main display window DD4 in the present embodiment) for visually checking the reels, and to mount the reel unit RU on the mounting table.

  In addition, an opening may be provided in the intermediate support plate G1 of the present embodiment so that the upper space and the lower space inside the cabinet G communicate with each other through the opening. Alternatively, the rear of the upper space and the rear of the lower space inside the cabinet G may be configured to communicate with each other.

  In the case of these configurations, the upper space and the lower space inside the cabinet G communicate with each other, so that the air inside the cabinet G flows easily, and the reel unit RU, various substrates, the projector device B2, and the driving of the movable role are driven. It is possible to prevent the temperature inside the cabinet G from rising due to the heat generated when the motor or the like is energized being trapped in one place inside the cabinet G. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a problem caused by a rise in the temperature inside the cabinet G.

  Also, an example in which the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is applied to a pachislot machine having a box-shaped cabinet G has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a door member may be used for a frame-shaped gaming machine frame without a back plate. The present invention may be applied to a so-called pachinko game machine to which is attached. In the case of a pachinko gaming machine, a door member (front door) corresponding to the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD of the present embodiment is provided so as to shield the opening of the outer frame forming the outer shell of the pachinko gaming machine. Can be

  In addition, when the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is applied to an enclosed gaming machine that does not require a substantial game medium such as a medal or a game ball and can play using an electronic game value, There is no need to supply medals or game balls in the hall (game hall). Further, since the power of the gaming machine can be turned on and off with the power supply on the island side where the gaming machine is installed, there is no need to open the front door of the gaming machine.

  Therefore, when the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is applied to an enclosed gaming machine, the cabinet G is designed so that both the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD are difficult to open and close or to attach and detach in a hall (game room). It may be attached to. Even in such a case, in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine, the state before fixing the door member to be fixed last (if the upper door mechanism UD → the lower door mechanism DD is fixed in this order, only the upper door mechanism UD is fixed, In the state where the lower door mechanism DD is opened or the state where the lower door mechanism DD is not attached), by making the identification information display portion 501 visible, it is easy to confirm the unit number and the work efficiency is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the identification information is such that a two-dimensional code or the like is read by a predetermined portable terminal or the like. However, the identification information may be simply displayed by an operator for visual confirmation. For example, a model name, a unit number, or the like may be displayed on the identification information display unit. One or both of a display such as a two-dimensional code for reading using a portable terminal or the like and a display for viewing may be used. You may use together.

  Further, the identification information displayed on the identification information display section may be information other than the production management information such as the production date and time and the production place of the gaming machine component. For example, on the identification information display portion, there is a sticker indicating that the product is a product that has been properly licensed for a right that requires a license, such as a copyrighted work such as a song or image (movie, animation, game, etc.) used in the model. Alternatively, a license sticker of a manufacturer's union or a certificate of a patent management organization may be attached. Further, the identification information for manufacturing management and the other identification information may be displayed together, for example, in a single identification information display section.

In FIG. 75, the light transmitting plate 1045, the screen sheet 1046, the lower pressing member UD101, and the upper pressing member UD102 show a state where they are assembled, and the lower frame UD100 shows a state where they are present alone. I have. FIG. 76 shows a state where the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 are assembled, and the lower holding member UD101 and the upper holding member UD102 show that they exist independently. FIG. 77 shows that the upper holding member UD102 and the upper frame UD110 exist independently of each other. FIG. 78 shows a state in which the light transmitting plate 1045, the screen sheet 1046, and the lower frame UD100 are assembled.

  As shown in FIGS. 73 and 74, the screen unit 1040 includes a light transmitting plate 1045 and a screen sheet 1046.

  The light transmitting plate 1045 is mainly made of a resin such as an acrylic plate having a light transmitting property or a glass plate, and is formed so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface. The light transmitting plate 1045 includes a flat portion 1045a located at the center, a curved portion 1045b formed continuously from both left and right side edges of the flat portion 1045a toward the rear, and a rearward portion from the rear end of the curved portion 1045b. And a side portion 1045c formed continuously. The plane portion 1045a and the side surface portion 1045c are formed in a planar shape, and their surfaces are substantially orthogonal to each other. The bending portion 1045b has a shape obtained by bending a flat plate.

  The screen sheet 1046 is a transmissive screen that is displayed by projecting a projection image from the rear. The screen sheet 1046 has a rear incident surface on which light projected from the projector 9020 is incident, and transmits light incident on the incident surface. And a display surface on the front side on which a projection image is projected. The screen sheet 10 is formed so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface using a film made of fat as a main material, and exhibits a milky white color, a translucent color, or a gray color when not projected.

  The screen sheet 1046 includes a flat portion 1046a located at the center, and a curved portion 1046b continuously formed rearward from both left and right side edges of the flat portion 1046a. The flat portion 1046a is formed in a flat shape, and the bending portion 1046b has a shape obtained by bending a flat plate. The flat portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b of the screen sheet 1046 have substantially the same size and shape as the flat portion 1045a and the curved portion 1045b of the light transmitting plate 1045.

  The screen sheet 1046 is arranged on the back side of the light transmitting plate 1045. Specifically, the rear surface of the flat portion 1045a of the light transmitting plate 1045 and the front surface of the flat portion 1046a of the screen sheet 1046 are in close contact with each other, and the rear surface of the curved portion 1045b of the light transmitting plate 1045 is in close contact. And the curved surface 1046b of the screen sheet 1046 is in close contact with the front surface.

  When the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the incident surface (rear surface) of the screen sheet 1046, an image (such as a still image or a still image) related to a game is displayed on the display surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1046. (Moving image) is displayed. The light-transmitting plate 1045 is formed to be transparent, and there is no structure in front of the light-transmitting plate 1045 that blocks the player's field of view. Therefore, when an image is displayed on the screen sheet 1046, the image is displayed by the player. It becomes visible from

  Further, the screen sheet 1046 has a flat portion 1046a and a curved portion 1046b, and since the positions in the depth direction are different between the flat portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b, an image is formed on both the flat portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b. By displaying, a three-dimensional effect can be given to the entire image displayed on the screen sheet 1046. In the light-transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046, the curved portion 1045b and the curved portion 1046b are formed by forming (forming in an open space), respectively. The deformation of the image can be suppressed as compared with the case of FIG.

  The light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 configured as described above are pressed by the lower frame UD100 and the upper frame UD110 in a state where the lower portion is pressed by the lower pressing member UD101 and the upper portion is pressed by the upper pressing member UD102. Supported.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 75, the lower frame UD100 is formed as a U-shaped member, and is provided with a horizontally disposed bottom plate UD100a and a slightly projecting upward at the front end of the bottom plate UD100a. And a right side UD100c extending vertically at the right end of the bottom plate UD100a, and a left side UD100d extending vertically at the left end of the bottom plate UD100a. The light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 are placed on the bottom plate UD100a in a state where the light transmitting plate 1045 is in contact with the bottom plate UD100a, the right side UD100c, and the left side UD100d. In this state, the lower part of the front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045 contacts the wall portion UD100b. The wall portion UD100b has a shape corresponding to the flat portion 1045a, the curved portion 1045b, and the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045 so that the entire lower front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045 can abut.

  As shown in FIG. 76, the lower pressing member UD101 is formed in a plate shape, and the front side surface (pressing surface UD101a) has a curved shape with a flat portion corresponding to the screen sheet 1046. And a formed portion. With the translucent plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 being placed on the bottom plate UD100a of the lower frame UD100, the lower holding member UD101 is fixed to the lower frame UD100, so that the lower part of the screen sheet 1046 is the lower frame UD100. It is sandwiched between the wall UD100b and the light transmitting plate 1045, and the pressing surface UD101a of the lower pressing member UD101, and is pressed by the pressing surface UD101a. The lower holding member UD101 can be attached to the lower frame UD100 by screwing a screw that has passed through the screw insertion hole UD101b (see FIG. 75) into the screw hole UD100e of the lower frame UD100.

  As shown in FIG. 77, the upper frame UD110 is formed as a member having a substantially rectangular outer shape in a front view, and has a bottom surface UD110a extending in the left-right direction and a slightly lower portion from a front portion of the bottom surface UD110a. And a projected wall portion UD110b. In a state where the upper frame UD110 is fixed to the lower frame UD100, the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 have the upper edge of the light transmitting plate 1045 abutting against the bottom surface UD110a of the upper frame UD110, and the front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045. The upper part is positioned so as to contact the wall part UD110b of the upper frame UD110. The wall portion UD110b has a shape corresponding to the light-transmitting plate 1045 so that the upper part of the front surface of the light-transmitting plate 1045 can be abutted over a certain range.

  The front side surface (pressing surface UD102a, see FIG. 76) of the upper pressing member UD102 has a portion formed in a planar shape and a portion formed in a curved shape corresponding to the screen sheet 1046. With the upper holding member UD102 having its upper surface in contact with the bottom surface UD110a of the upper frame UD110, a screw passing through the screw insertion hole UD102b (see FIG. 77) is screwed into the bottom surface UD110a of the upper frame UD110. It is attached to the upper frame UD110 by screwing it into the UD110c. Accordingly, the upper portion of the screen sheet 1046 is sandwiched between the wall portion UD110b and the light transmitting plate 1045 of the upper frame UD110 and the pressing surface UD102a of the upper pressing member UD102, and is pressed by the pressing surface UD102a.

  As described above, the lower portion of the screen sheet 1046 is pressed by the lower pressing member UD101, and the upper portion of the screen sheet 1046 is pressed by the upper pressing member UD102. The pressing surface UD101a of the lower pressing member UD101 and the pressing surface UD102a of the upper pressing member UD102 each have a curved portion corresponding to the shape of the screen sheet 1046. Accordingly, the screen sheet 1046 can be closely attached to the light-transmitting plate 1045 while suppressing a gap between the light-transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 and wrinkling of the screen sheet 1046. Thus, it is possible to prevent the image visually recognized by the player from being disturbed.

  As shown in FIG. 78, when the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 are in close contact with each other and viewed from the rear, the flat portion 1045 a and the curved portion 1045 b of the light transmitting plate 1045 become flat surface portions of the screen sheet 1046. While being covered by the 1046a and the curved portion 1046b, the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045 is in an exposed state without being covered by the screen sheet 1046.

  Although not shown, a cabinet G is disposed on the back side of the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046. Therefore, between the rear end of the screen sheet 1046 and the front end of the cabinet G (side wall G2), there is a gap corresponding to at least the length in the front-rear direction of the side surface 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045. In FIG. 78, such a gap is indicated by oblique lines for easy understanding.

  An image is displayed on the portion (the flat portion 1045a and the curved portion 1045b) of the light transmitting plate 1045 that is covered with the screen sheet 1046, while the portion of the light transmitting plate 1045 that is not covered with the screen sheet 1046 is exposed. No image is displayed on the (side surface portion 1045c, that is, the hatched portion in FIG. 78). This makes it possible to give the player the impression that the image is raised at a position separated from the front end of the cabinet G (side wall G2) in the front direction, and realizes various image expressions. be able to.

<Decoration unit 1050>
FIG. 79 is a perspective view of the upper frame, the first structure, the second structure, the third structure, the fourth structure, and the screen sheet as viewed from the rear.

  Note that FIG. 79 shows a state where the first structure 1051, the second structure 1052, the third structure 1053, and the fourth structure 1054 are assembled, and the upper frame UD110, the screen sheet 1056 , And the screen sheet 1057 show that they exist independently.

  As shown in FIG. 79, the decoration unit 1050 is adjacent to the first structure 1051 arranged in the center, the second structure 1052 arranged around the first structure 1051, and the second structure 1052. It includes a third structure 1053, a fourth structure 1054 adjacent to the third structure 1053, and a screen sheet 1056 and a screen sheet 1057 disposed on the back side of these structures.

  The first structure 1051, the second structure 1052, the third structure 1053, and the fourth structure 1054 are attached to the upper frame UD110 by screwing. The screen sheet 1056 is arranged on the back side of the first structure 1051 and the second structure 1052 while being pressed by the pressing member UD111. The screen sheet 1057 is arranged on the back side of the third structure 1053 in a state where the screen sheet 1057 is pressed by the pressing member UD111. The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other, and have a shape that can be fitted at an adjacent portion. The fourth structure 1054 is arranged on the back side of the speaker housing UD110d of the upper frame UD110, and a speaker (not shown) is arranged together with the fourth structure 1054 on the back side of the speaker housing UD110d.

  The first structure 1051 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like), and is formed in a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a character shape). The second structure 1052 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and has a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a flame). The third structure 1053 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and has a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a chain). The fourth structure 1054 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like), and is formed in a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a chain).

  The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are transmissive screens that are displayed by projecting a projection image from the rear, and similarly to the screen sheet 1046, light incident on the back side on which light projected from the projector 9020 enters. And a front display surface on which a projected image is projected by transmitting light incident on the incident surface. The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are made of, for example, a translucent glass plate, an acrylic plate, or a resin film as a main material so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface. It has a transparent or gray color.

  When the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the incident surface (the rear surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057, the light is projected onto the display surface (the front surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057. , A game-related image (still image or moving image) is displayed.

  Here, the third structure 1053 has a configuration in which a half mirror (magic mirror) is formed on the front side. The half mirror can be formed by attaching a semi-transmissive film sheet to the surface of the substrate or by depositing a metal film with a metal by a conventionally known method, and a part of the incident light. It has the property of transmitting part while reflecting.

  By arranging such a half mirror on the front side of the screen sheet 1057, when no light is projected from the projector 9020, an object existing around the third structure 1053 is reflected. Will have the appearance of parts with As an object existing around the third structure 1053, for example, a structure imitating a chain as shown in FIG. 71 can be provided. Note that the structure having a shape imitating a chain may be provided near the third structure 1053, or the third structure 1053 (half mirror) itself may be formed in the shape. On the other hand, when light is being projected from the projector 9020, the image displayed on the screen sheet 1057 is reflected on the half mirror. For example, an image in which an object existing around the third structure 1053 or an object having a shape similar to the shape of the third structure 1053 (a shape imitating a chain) flows and moves is displayed on the screen sheet 1057. Accordingly, it is possible to perform an effect as if the object that was stationary was moving when light was not projected from the projector 9020. As described above, according to the above configuration, an attractive effect can be created by both the modeled object and the image related to the modeled object.

  In addition, the screen sheet 1056 has a diffusion layer for diffusing light and a prism layer in which a plurality of unit prisms having a shape convex on the incident surface side are arranged. Accordingly, the light projected from the projector 9020 is diffused, and an attractive effect can be performed in combination with the modeling object arranged on the front side of the screen sheet 1056. For example, as shown in FIG. 71, when the first structure 1051 is formed in a character shape of “GOD”, an image corresponding to the character of “GOD” is displayed on the screen sheet 1056, so that “GOD” is displayed. Can be created as if the letters “Glittering” shine. The center of light projected from the projector 9020 (irradiation light emitted from near the optical axis of the projection lens) enters the screen sheet 1046, and the screen sheet 1056 is arranged at a position away from the center of the angle of view. However, by providing a prism layer having a high light-condensing effect, it is possible to suppress a decrease in luminance of an image displayed on the screen sheet 1056. Note that, similarly to the screen sheet 1057, a half mirror may be disposed on the front side of the screen sheet 1056.

  As shown in FIGS. 94 and 95, the first reflex member 400 includes a curved portion 400a that is recessed rearward, and a front end portion 400b of the curved portion 400a projects in the left-right direction. The front end 400b is located behind the decorative member 393.

  The curved portion 400a is formed with concave portions 400c that are concave rearward so as to be arranged at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction. Three concave portions 400c are formed corresponding to a left LED 431L, a middle LED 431C, and a right LED 431R, respectively, and are formed so as to decrease in diameter toward the rear.

  The rear end of the concave portion 400c is opened rearward, and the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R can emit light forward through this opening. For this reason, the light emitted from each of the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R is hard to interfere with each other, and can be distinguished from each other when the light emitted from each LED is applied to the center lens 391. .

  The second reflex member 410 is provided behind the first reflex member 400, holds the light guide lens 420 in the front, and holds the lens member 421 in the rear. As shown in FIG. 95, the second reflex member 410 is installed such that a gap is formed between the second reflex member 410 and the first reflex member 400 in the front-rear direction. The light guide lens 420 is arranged in this gap.

  Each of the first reflex member 400 and the second reflex member 410 is formed of a non-light-transmitting resin member that does not transmit light. Therefore, light passing through the light guide lens 420 disposed between the first reflex member 400 and the second reflex member 410 (light emitted from an LED 432 described later) is inward of the center screen 391 (first light). It does not leak to the side (space surrounded by the curved portion 400a of the reflex member 400 and the back surface of the center screen 391) or to the rear side of the second reflex member 410. Thus, it is possible to prevent the light passing through the light guide lens 420 from affecting the image projected on the center screen 391 and the image projected on the main screen 182.

  As shown in FIGS. 95 and 96, a gap is formed between the front end 400b of the first reflex member 400 and the front end 410b of the second reflex member 410. Thus, the light guided by the light guide lens 420 is emitted forward. Further, the above-mentioned gap is located behind the decorative member 393. For this reason, the light emitted forward from the above-described gap is visually recognized by the player as indirect light emitted behind the decorative member 393.

  As shown in FIG. 96, the light guide lens 420 has a gap between a rear end face 420 a facing the LED 432, and a front end 400 b of the first reflex member 400 and a front end 410 b of the second reflex member 410. And a front end surface 420b located at

  Light emitted from the LED 432 is incident on the rear end surface 420 a of the light guide lens 420. From the front end surface 420b of the light guide lens 420, light that has entered from the rear end surface 420a and has been guided forward in the light guide lens 420 is emitted.

  As shown in FIG. 93, the lens member 421 is formed with a cylindrical light guide 421a that projects forward. The columnar light guide 421a is provided so as to be located in front of an LED 435 described later. Therefore, light is emitted from the LED 435 to the cylindrical light guide 421a, and the light emitted from the LED 435 is guided forward. The front end of the cylindrical light guide 421 a is located on the inner rear side of the lamp 394. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED 435 is guided inside the cylindrical light guide 421a so as not to interfere with the light of the projector B2 projected on the lower center screen 391. In addition, since the front end of the cylindrical light guide 421a is located on the rear side inside the lamp 394, when the LED 435 emits light, is there a light source near the back of the lamp 394 for the player? You can give an impression like.

  As shown in FIG. 91, the LED board 430 includes a left LED 431L, a middle LED 431C, and a right LED 431R arranged side by side at a predetermined interval along a left and right direction as a predetermined direction (hereinafter, when these are collectively referred to as a triple LED 431), two LEDs 432 provided left and right above the triple LED 431, and one LED 435 provided above the LED 432.

  The triple LED 431 irradiates light to the back side of the center screen 391. The LED 432 irradiates light toward the light guide lens 420. The LED 435 irradiates light toward the cylindrical light guide 421a. The triple LED 431 of the present embodiment constitutes a light emitting unit according to the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, the LED board 430 is included in the LED board 82 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment. Further, in this embodiment, the triple LED 431, the LED 432, and the LED 435 are included in the LED group 75 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment constitutes a light emission control unit.

  As shown in FIG. 92, the light projected by the projector device B2 reaches the screen sheets 391b and 392b (see FIG. 93) from the back side of the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392.

  Here, the LED substrate 430 is provided at a position that does not block the optical path (indicated by a dashed line in the figure) of light projected from the projector device B2, reflected by the optical mirror 174, and directed to the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392. Has been.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 93, the triple LED 431 provided on the LED substrate 430 is a light source that projects from the projector device B2, is reflected by the optical mirror 174, and travels toward the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392. It is provided at a position that does not block the optical path (indicated by a dashed line in the figure).

(Indicated by a dashed line).

  The triple LED 431 is located above the center in the vertical direction of the screen sheet 391b of the center screen 391. The screen sheet 391b of the center screen 391 is disposed above the optical mirror 174 (see FIG. 92) so that light is projected from below the center of the screen sheet 391b in the vertical direction.

(Emission mode of triple LED and image mode projected on screen sheet)
Next, the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 controlled by the sub control board 72 (see FIG. 37) and the image mode projected from the projector device B2 onto the screen sheet 391b via the optical mirror 174 will be described.

  The sub-control board 72 (refer to FIG. 37) has a light emission mode of the triple LED 431, for example, when light is projected on the screen sheets 391 b and 392 b by the projector device B <b> 2, compared with other LEDs of the triple LED 431. The light emission mode can be controlled so that the LED in the light emission state with high brightness is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction. Thus, it is possible to execute an effect in which a brightly visible area in the image displayed on the center screen 391 is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction. In addition, the light emission mode may be controlled so that, of the triple LEDs 431, LEDs in a light emitting state having lower luminance than other LEDs are sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction.

  The sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) can execute various effects described below using the triple LED 431 and the projector device B2 in addition to the effects described above.

  As shown in FIG. 97, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) is projected by the projector device B2 on the screen sheet 391b so that an image simulating a signal is displayed as an image (PM image) projected on the center screen 391. When the light is projected on the center screen 391, the display mode of the center screen 391 can be changed by changing the light emitting mode of the triple LED 431.

  Specifically, the image of each signal of red, yellow, and green in the PM image is projected with low luminance. For this reason, when the triple LED 431 is off, the appearance of the red, yellow, and green signals from the player (appearance) is such that the red, yellow, and green signals are off (dark). It looks as if you are doing it.

  Here, an example in which the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 changes in the order of (1) to (4) in FIG. 97 will be described.

  First, in (1), since the triple LED 431 is turned off, the appearance (appearance) from the player is such that the red, yellow, and green signals are turned off (darkly lit).

  Next, in (2), the left LED 431L located behind the red light image is turned on. As a result, although the PM image does not change, it appears to the player that the red light is lit.

  Conventionally, it was possible to display such that the signal is turned on just by changing the PM image, but by superimposing the LED light on the PM image from the rear, it is possible to create a realistic light texture that cannot be expressed only by the PM image. Can be expressed.

  Here, the rear left LED 431L may emit red light to enhance red, or emit white light to enhance the luminance change of the red PM image. It should be noted that the red color of the PM image may be changed to a brighter red color almost simultaneously with the lighting of the left LED 431L to emphasize the change in color and apparent brightness.

  Next, in (3), the left LED 431L blinks. Thus, although the PM image does not change, it appears to the player as if the red light is blinking.

  Here, strictly speaking, when it is desired to limit the area to be illuminated by the LED so that the entire left area of the screen sheet 391b does not blink and appear around the rear of the image of the red light, a light guide is provided in front of the LED. It is desirable to provide a unit or a light blocking unit to limit an area affected by light from the LED.

  Since each LED of the triple LED 431 is partitioned by the concave portion 400c of the front first reflex member (light shielding member) 400, the light projecting position of the left region, the middle region, and the right region can be roughly divided. When it is desired to limit the position at which light is projected in a pinpoint manner as in an effect example, it is preferable that the concave portion 400c of the first reflex member (light-shielding member) 400 is set deeper than in the present embodiment and has a tubular shape.

  Next, in (4), the left LED 431L is turned off, and the middle LED 431C is turned on. Thus, although the PM image does not change, the blinking red signal is turned off and the yellow signal is turned on from the player. As described above, by changing the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 in the order of (1) to (4), it is possible to enhance the effect.

  In the effect example shown in FIG. 97, the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 is changed after projecting the PM image. However, the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 may be changed at the same timing as the projection of the PM image.

  Alternatively, the triple LED 431 may be turned on or blinked first, and then an effect of projecting a PM image may be performed. In this case, since the lighting or blinking of the triple LED 431 indicates the appearance of the PM image, it is possible to attract the player's attention.

  In addition, when the PM image does not appear due to only the lighting or blinking of the triple LED 431, “losing” is disadvantageous for the player, and when the PM image appears, it is determined to shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player. For example, a staged effect (step-up effect) combining light emission by the triple LED 431 and the PM image may be performed. Here, for example, even if the PM images are the same, an effect may be achieved in which if the triple LED 431 emits light, the expectation of winning in the advantageous game state increases.

  Further, the higher the brightness of the light from the triple LED 431, the higher the expectation, the higher the blinking speed (the shorter the blinking interval), the higher the expectation.

  In addition, a PM image with a changed brightness is projected, and the brightness of the PM image is enhanced by, for example, increasing the brightness of the triple LED 431 to emphasize the brightness in accordance with the change to a relatively bright PM image. The brightness of the continuous LED 431 may be linked.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the position of the light emitting LED substrate 430 is fixed. However, a configuration in which the position can be changed by providing a triple LED 431 in the movable portion is also possible. Further, the triple LED 431 including a plurality of LEDs may include one or both of a fixed LED and a movable LED. As described above, when the LED is movable, the variation of the effect in combination with the PM image is further expanded, and the interest of the game is increased.

  When the LED can be moved as described above, the LED may be moved in any direction such as a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, or the like as viewed from the player. May be changed, and the appearance of light may be changed by changing the projection angle of the light on the screen sheet 391b (see FIG. 93) to diversify the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the light guide member is not arranged before reaching the screen sheet 391b (see FIG. 93), but the light projected from the triple LED 431 is arranged by disposing a light-transmitting light guide member. May be changed. In this case, the light guide member may be provided separately from the triple LED 431, or an auxiliary diffusion lens in which the triple LED 431 is integrated with a diffusion lens may be used to save space. .

  During a game or during a non-game (demo display screen, etc.), the player can use a staging LED or a display screen (including a screen such as a liquid crystal other than the projection type as in the present embodiment). In the case of a gaming machine having a brightness adjustment function capable of adjusting the brightness, the brightness of the above-described light emitting LED (triple LED 431) may be influenced by the brightness adjustment function so that the appearance when combined with the PM image does not become unnatural. It is desirable not to receive it.

  Even if the light emitting LED (triple LED 431) emits light at a luminance linked to the luminance set by the luminance adjustment function, if there is no problem in the effect surface, it may be affected.

  The brightness adjustment function described above may be set by the hall manager only in the hall menu, or may be arbitrarily set by the hall manager to set whether or not to allow the function to the player. There may be.

  Further, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) of the present embodiment can execute the following effect control using the triple LED 431 and the projector device B2.

  In other words, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) executes a specific control pattern in which one or more specific LEDs at a predetermined location among the plurality of LEDs constituting the triple LED 431 have a light emission mode different from that of the other LEDs. It is possible.

  The specific control pattern includes at least a first specific control pattern and a second specific control pattern in which at least a part of the LED controlled as the specific LED is different, and the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) is controlled by the projector device B2. When the light is projected on the center screen 391 (the screen sheet 391b), the second specific control pattern can be executed after the first specific control pattern is executed.

  The specific control pattern refers to a light emission mode in which one or a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter, referred to as a specific LED) at a predetermined position among the plurality of LEDs can be distinguished from other LEDs, and sequentially switching the specific control pattern. Thus, a light emission effect that allows the player to feel a change in the light emission mode becomes possible.

Specifically, the following patterns (a) to (e) are exemplified.
(A) the specific LED has a higher luminance light emission pattern than the other LEDs; (b) the specific LED has a lower luminance (including off) light emission pattern than the other LEDs; and (c) the specific LED has a light emission color of: Light emission pattern different from the emission color of the other LED (d) The specific LED is turned on or blinking, and the other LED is turned off. (E) The specific LED is turned off and the other LED is turned on or off. Flashing flash pattern

  Of the above-mentioned light-emitting patterns, a pattern in which an arbitrary plurality is combined may be used. For example, there is a pattern in which the specific LED is the left LED 431L, the left LED 431L flashes and emits light with high luminance and red, and the other LEDs, the middle LED 431C and the right LED 431R, emit light with blue and low luminance.

  Further, the light emission mode of the LED corresponding to the other LED does not need to be the same for all the other LEDs, and may be any mode that can be distinguished from the specific LED. For example, the specific LED may be the left LED 431L of the present embodiment and emit red light, the middle LED 431C which is one of the other LEDs emits light blue, and the right LED 431R which is another of the other LEDs may be turned off.

  As described above, by changing the position of the LED controlled as the specific LED, it is possible to enhance the interest by an effect in which the light travels in a predetermined direction.

  For example, when the specific LED blinks, the following specific control pattern can be used.

  That is, the first specific control pattern includes a pattern in which the left LED 431L blinks and the middle LED 431C and the right LED 431R light. The second specific control pattern includes a pattern in which the middle LED 431C blinks and the left LED 431L and the right LED 431R light. Further, as a third specific control pattern, a pattern in which the right LED 431R blinks and the left LED 431L and the middle LED 431C are lit is exemplified.

  In this case, by sequentially switching the specific control patterns in the order of the first specific control pattern, the second specific control pattern, and the third specific control pattern, the blinking area (specific LED) proceeds from left to right. The light emission effect can be visually recognized by the player. These light emission effects may be performed while the same PM image is being projected, or may be performed in a manner that involves a change in the PM image.

  In addition, the control mode of the specific LED does not need to be the same in the first specific control pattern, the second specific control pattern, and the third specific control pattern, and is a mode in which the player can feel the movement of light, that is, another mode. The control pattern may be changed midway if the light emission mode is characteristic compared to the LED.

  For example, the specific LED is blinking and blue in the first specific control pattern, blinking and red in the second specific control pattern, blinking and rainbow in the third specific control pattern, and the other LEDs are the first specific control pattern and the second In the specific control pattern and the third specific control pattern, switching may be appropriately performed in a light emission mode that can be distinguished from the specific LED, such as turning off or low-luminance white light emission.

  A variety of luminous effects, such as suggesting or notifying an internal winning combination, suggesting or notifying an advantageous gaming state or its precursor state, and suggesting or notifying a gaming state or a set value, can enhance the interest of the game. . By performing such a novel effect in a state of waiting for the player (standby state), it is possible to attract the attention of the player in the game arcade and promote the operation of the gaming machine.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which light can be irradiated from the rear by the triple LED 431 to the center screen 391 that projects the PM image has been described. However, the LED 199A described in the first embodiment can be applied to the configuration. May be combined with the configuration of the light guide panel to which light can be irradiated. In this case, similarly to the light guide panel 198 of the first embodiment, the center screen 391 is formed with irregularities so that the pattern emerges, and an LED for irradiating light into the center screen 391, and a center screen 391. May be provided with an LED (triple LED 431) for irradiating light from the rear, and these LEDs may be properly used depending on the situation. Thereby, the effect variation can be increased.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the triple LED 431 capable of irradiating light to the screen sheet 391b on which the light projected by the projector device B2 is projected is provided from the projector device B2 to the screen sheet. Since it is arranged at a position that does not block the optical path of the light traveling toward 391b and 392b, it is possible to perform an effect of irradiating the screen sheet 391b with light by the triple LED 431 while projecting an image on the screen sheets 391b and 392b by the projector device B2. Can be. Thereby, a novel and versatile effect using the projector device B2 can be performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when light is projected on screen sheets 391b and 392b by projector device B2, sub-control board 72 includes a plurality of LEDs constituting triple LED 431. Since the light emission mode is controlled so that the LEDs in the light emission state having a higher luminance than the other LEDs are sequentially changed in one direction in the left and right direction, the brightly visible area in the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is different from the left and right. An effect that sequentially changes in one direction can be executed. Thereby, a novel and versatile effect using the projector device B2 can be performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Also, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, since the triple LED 431 is located above the vertical center of the screen sheet 391b, when the player looks down at the screen sheet 391b from above, the triple LED 431 is displayed. There is little effect of the light of the projector device B2, and the image projected on the screen sheet 391b has an effect of being clearly seen. When the player looks up the screen sheet 391b from below, the effect of the light of the triple LED 431 is large and the projector device B2 There is an effect that an image projected on the screen sheet 391b looks bright. For this reason, the display mode of the screen sheet 391b can be changed according to the viewing angle of the player.

  According to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, light is projected from below the vertical center of screen sheet 391b onto screen sheet 391b disposed above optical mirror 174. On the other hand, while the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is visually recognized by the projector device B2, the light emitted to the screen sheet 391b by the light emitting unit can be visually recognized.

  Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when light is projected on screen sheet 391b by projector device B2, sub-control board 72 changes the light emission mode of triple LED 431 to change projector device B2. Thus, the visibility of the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is changed, so that various display modes can be realized by a combination of the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 and the image projected on the screen sheet 391b by the projector device B2. For example, by blinking the triple LED 431 while the projector device B2 projects an image with very low brightness on the screen sheet 391b, the image projected on the screen sheet 391b for a moment when the triple LED 431 is turned on is displayed. Effects such as clearly visible can be performed.
