The lower wall 51 extends from the right end to the left end of the lower side between the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the third light-transmitting panel 43, and extends between the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the left end. The left end of the lower side between the third translucent panel 43 is opened downward.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 19, the portion located between the front first spacer 55 and the second spacer 56 between the first light-transmitting panel 41 and the second light-transmitting panel 42 communicates with the right space (the space between the first light-transmitting panel 41 and the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the outer edge walls 46 and 51 of the front frame 45 and the rear frame 50). As shown in FIG. 20, two through holes 46K are formed in the outer edge wall 46 of the front frame 45 on the right side of the third projecting portion 45H4. As a result, the space between the first light-transmitting panel 41 and the second light-transmitting panel 42 communicates with the outside of the panel unit 40 via the air vent 40T and the through hole 46K.

The configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as described above. Next, functions and effects of the gaming machine 10 will be described. The gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with first to third translucent panels 41 to 43 that emit light, for example, during fluctuations in special symbols or during jackpot games. The first to third light-transmitting panels 41 to 43 are arranged to face each other, and the uneven decorative portions 41A to 43A can be made to emit light at different timings or at the same time, thereby increasing the variation of presentation. improve sexuality. In addition, when they are illuminated at the same time, depth can be given to the light emitted from the concave-convex decorative portions 41A to 43A, which improves taste.

These first to third light-transmitting panels 41 to 43 are sandwiched at their outer edges by a front frame 45, a rear frame 50 and spacers 55, 56, 60 and 61, and are fixed facing each other with a space therebetween. there is

Here, the first to third translucent panels 41 to 43 rattle, rub against the front frame 45, the rear frame 50 and the spacers 55, 56, 60, 61, and scrape the translucent panels 41 to 43. When the powder comes out, if the powder is visually recognized from the front, there is a possibility that the player loses interest. In particular, such a situation can occur when the first light-transmitting panel 41 arranged on the frontmost side is scraped off by the front frame 45 and the spacers 55 and 5 on the front side. On the other hand, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the inner edge ribs 55L1 and 56L1 of the first spacer 55 and the second spacer 56 on the front side are substantially entirely positioned from the display opening 11H of the game board 11 or the inner edge of the front frame 45. The portion of the first light-transmitting panel 41 that can rub against the inner edge ribs 55L1 and 56L1 of the first spacer 55 and the second spacer 56 on the front side is slightly inside the game board 11. Alternatively, since it is covered from the front by the front frame 45, the powder scraped out from the first translucent panel 41 is less visible from the front.

Thus, in this embodiment, the ribs (the inner edge ribs 55L1 and 56L1 of the first spacer 55 and the second spacer 56 on the front side) for sandwiching the first light-transmitting panel 41 are provided to form the first light-transmitting panel. 41 is determined, and the vicinity thereof is covered with the game board 11 or the front frame 45, so that the powder scraped out from the first light-transmitting panel 41 is less visible from the front. Deterioration of the appearance of the translucent panel 41 is prevented.

In addition, since the contact rib 47L2 of the front frame 45 that contacts the first light-transmitting panel 41 is arranged outside the inner edge of the front frame 45, the powder scraped by the contact rib 47L2 of the front frame 45 is removed. It is difficult to see from the front. Moreover, since the inner edge rib 47L1 protrudes rearward from the inner edge of the front frame 45 (the inner edge of the projecting wall 47), the powder scraped off by the contact rib 47L2 of the front frame 45 is less likely to move inside the front frame 45. there is

By the way, as in the present embodiment, when a plurality of translucent panels 41 to 43 are stacked and their outer edge portions are supported, scraped powder and dust are present between the translucent panels 41 to 43. If such dust enters, the dust cannot be removed, and there is a risk that the appearance will be deteriorated or that the light emission of the concave-convex decorative portions 41A to 43A will be affected. In order to avoid such a situation, in the present embodiment, a vent hole 40T opening downward is provided in the lower side portion between the first translucent panel 41 and the second translucent panel 42. . Dust disposed between the first light-transmitting panel 41 and the second light-transmitting panel 42 can be discharged from the air vent 40T.

In particular, in this embodiment, the first light-transmitting panel 41 and the second light-transmitting panel 42 are entirely opposed to the display opening 11H of the game board 11, making it easy to visually recognize if there is dust therebetween. Therefore, the effects described above can be more enjoyed.

Further, since a through-hole 46K communicating with the space between the first light-transmitting panel 41 and the second light-transmitting panel 42 is formed in the outer edge wall 46 of the front frame 45, the air is blown through the through-hole 46K. is blown in, it escapes from the vent 40T. As a result, dust placed between the first translucent panel 41 and the second translucent panel 42 can be easily discharged.

In addition, since the through-hole 46K is arranged on the right side portion of the panel unit 40 different from the upper side portion and the left side portion where the light-emitting substrate 71 is arranged, the air blown from the through-hole 46K moves toward the light-emitting substrate 71. It prevents it from hitting well and makes it easier to adjust the angle of blowing air.

The space between the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the third light-transmitting panel 43 is also through the space between the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the outer edge walls 46 and 51 of the front frame 45 or the rear frame 50. are in communication. Further, the left side of the lower wall 51 of the lower side portion between the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the third light-transmitting panel 43 is opened downward. As a result, when air is blown from the through hole 46K, part of the air passes through the space between the second light-transmitting panel 42 and the third light-transmitting panel 43. Part of the dust between it and the translucent panel 43 of No. 3 is also discharged.
