As shown in FIG. The second decorative cover body 45 and the second decorative base body 34 are screwed together to the top base body 50 .

The second decoration cover body 45 is made of non-permeable resin, and makes the peripheral wall 34B of the second decoration base body 34 difficult to see. The upper logo decorative portion 35 and the lower logo decorative portion 40 of the second decorative base body 34 described above are exposed from the upper and lower openings 46K of the frame portion 46 of the second decorative cover body 45, respectively, and are visible from the front. ing.

Next, the upper logo decorative portion 35 and the lower logo decorative portion 40 will be described in detail by taking the upper logo decorative portion 35 as an example. In this embodiment, the upper logo decorative portion 35 and the lower logo decorative portion 40 are different in length in the left-right direction and logo characters, but are mostly common.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper logo decorative portion 35 includes a curved base portion 36 that curves along the front wall 51A of the top base body 50, and a bulging portion that protrudes forward from the curved base portion 36 to form letters of the logo. A decorative portion 37 is provided. In the upper logo decoration portion 35, for example, three bulging decoration portions 37 made of letters "O" are arranged side by side.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the bulging decorative portion 37 has a character-shaped flat portion 37A and a rising portion 37B connecting between the flat portion 37A and the curved base portion 36. As shown in FIGS. The flat portion 37A extends parallel to the curved base portion 36, and the rising portion 37B is inclined so as to widen from the outer edge of the flat portion 37A toward the curved base portion 36. As shown in FIG. A non-transmissive colored layer 38 is provided on the front surface of the flat portion 37A. In this embodiment, as the colored layer 38, a gold seal having the same shape as the flat portion 37A is attached.

A decorative sheet 60 is arranged behind the upper logo decorative portion 35 . As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the decorative sheet 60 is sandwiched between the upper swelling portion 51 of the top base body 50 and the upper logo decorative portion 35. As shown in FIGS. The decorative sheet 60 includes a first colored portion 61A (corresponding to a “rear side decorative portion”) and a second colored portion 61B. For example, the first colored portion 61A is red and the second colored portion 61B is black. , each painted in a different color. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first colored portion 61A has the same shape as the bulging decorative portion 37 and faces the entire surface of the bulging decorative portion 37 from behind. The second colored portion 61B is a portion of the decorative sheet 60 excluding the first colored portion 61A.

In addition, the portion of the decorative sheet 60 covered from the front side by the colored layer 38 provided on the bulging decorative portion 37 is difficult for the player to visually recognize, while the outer edge portion thereof is visible from the rising portion 37B. It has become.

The description relating to the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as above. Next, the effects of this gaming machine 10 will be described. The second decorative portion 31 arranged on the upper portion of the game machine 10 is provided with a bulging decorative portion 37 in which logo characters are bulged forward. As a result, the decoration (logo text) becomes three-dimensional, improving taste. Moreover, since the bulging decorative portion 37 is decorated with the first decorative portion 61A facing the entire surface of the bulging decorative portion 37 from behind, only the transparent bulging decorative portion 37 and the entire upper logo decorative portion 35 have the same color. The bulging decorative portion 37 can be made more conspicuous than the case where it is decorated.

Further, in addition to the first decorative portion 61A, a colored layer 38 is provided on the flat portion 37A of the bulging decorative portion 37 to make the flat portion 37A of the bulging decorative portion 37 stand out, thereby giving a more three-dimensional effect. can. At this time, the rising portion 37B of the bulging decorative portion 37 is inclined, and the first decorative portion 61A can be visually recognized through the rising portion 37B. You can feel more three-dimensional from the difference between the two.

Moreover, since the colored layer 38 of the flat portion 37A and the first decorative portion 61A are colored differently, the difference between the colored layer 38 of the flat portion 37A and the first decorative portion 61A can be more easily recognized. ing. Further, the flat portion 37A located on the front side is colored with a color such as gold, yellow, and white, which is considered to have high saturation or lightness, and the first decorative portion 61A on the back side is colored with a higher saturation than the flat portion 37A. Alternatively, by using a color with a low brightness and using a brightness perspective method in which bright colors are seen in front and dark colors are seen in the back, depth is given by the bulging decorative portion 37, and a three-dimensional effect can be emphasized. can.

In addition, a color with particularly low lightness and saturation, such as black, is used for the second decorative portion 61B. That is, the flat portion 37, the first decorative portion 61A, and the second decorative portion 61B appear to be arranged in recessed positions as the lightness and saturation decrease in the order described above. As a result, the pattern displayed on the bulging decorative portion 37 can be seen to stand out more, and the dignified feeling of the decoration can be increased.

Also, the raised portion 37B of the bulging decorative portion 37 is provided so that the tapered surface faces forward, that is, toward the player side. As a result, even when the player views the second decorative portion 31 from the front, the first decorative portion 61A can be visually recognized through the rising portion 37B, so that the three-dimensional effect is not impaired. Furthermore, since the first decorative portion 61A is also arranged in the portion covered with the flat portion 37A, the first decoration can be viewed from various angles other than the front view, such as a position where the player looks up at the second decorative portion 31. Since the portion 61A is visible, it is a highly tasteful decoration.

Of the curved base portion 36, only the flat portion 37A is provided with the colored layer 38, and the portion other than the flat portion 37A is covered with a decorative sheet 60 from behind to allow the color to pass through. It looks as if it is colored. This eliminates the need to separately color each portion of the curved base 36, thereby facilitating the processing work.

In the present invention, only the second decorative base body 34 and the decorative sheet 60 are decorated with characters. Even if you want to change the decorative characters, you only have to replace these two, so it is economical.
