Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a game machine such as a slot machine, a so-called pachi-slot machine, a pachinko machine, and an exterior panel of the game machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for example, a game machine called a pachi-slot installed in a pachinko parlor, etc., when you insert a medal from the medal slot and pull the lever, multiple reels installed inside the game machine body will stop and stop, When the reels displayed on the display window are aligned, a predetermined number of medals are paid out based on the payout table. Therefore, the medal slot, the reel pattern, the symbol display window, etc. are indispensable for the functions of the game machine. On the other hand, the game machine is not directly related to the function of the game machine, but for decorative purposes, the product name of the game machine and the casino are recalled on the upper and lower sides of the front of the game machine body. A design or the like that makes them appear is shown.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional decorative design on the exterior of the game machine is not interesting because it only shows two-dimensional characters or patterns through the exterior panel or directly on the game machine body. , The role of decorating the outer surface of the game machine has not been fully fulfilled.

The present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems as described above, and the present invention provides a decorative effect to the design displayed on the outer surface of the game machine so as to attract the attention of the viewer. , The aim is to provide a game machine with a high ability to attract customers and an exterior panel used for the game machine.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and the means for solving the problem is shown on the outer surface of the game machine body 1 such as a slot machine. This is because the pattern intended for decorative decoration is represented by a stereoscopic image.

Further, the means according to claim 3 is mounted on the outer surface side of the game machine body 1 such as a slot machine, and the desired pattern is displayed on the exterior panel of the game machine in which the desired pattern is displayed. It is represented by three-dimensional printing.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the amusement machine having the above-mentioned configuration, since the pattern for decoration, which is displayed on the outer surface of the game machine body, is configured by the stereoscopic image, the pattern on the outer surface of the game machine body can be expressed in a three-dimensional manner. It is possible to realistically express pictures that are difficult to express with. Therefore, the decorative effect is increased, so that it is easy to attract the attention of the viewer, and it is also interesting for those who are playing on the game machine.

Further, as in the means described in claim 3, if the desired pattern is displayed on the exterior panel by three-dimensional printing, it is possible to manufacture a game machine having a different appearance simply by exchanging the exterior panel. Becomes

【Example】

 First Embodiment An embodiment of the game machine and the exterior panel of the game machine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a game machine body generally called a pachi-slot. Inside the main body 1 of the game machine, three reels 2 on which predetermined symbols are printed are rotatably provided, and when the stop button 3 is pressed, the respective reels 2 which rotate are arbitrarily stopped. The design of the reel 2 is displayed to the player through a design display window 4 provided at a substantially central portion of the outer surface of the game machine body 1. In addition, 5 shows a payout table showing a payout by a combination of symbols, 6 shows a medal insertion slot, 7 shows a lever for rotating the reel 2, and 8 shows a medal tray.

Further, on the upper side and the lower side of the symbol display window 4, plate-shaped exterior panels 10 and 11 on which a pattern for decoration is represented by vertical printing are attached, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the three-dimensional printing of the exterior panels 10 and 11 is performed by superimposing a photograph of a desired design and an illustration to create an original image having a three-dimensional effect, and based on the original image, an offset method is used to make a transparent image. After sticking one side of the printed matter 12 printed on the film to the transparent plastic plate 14 made of acrylic resin, several fine grooves were formed on the other side of the printed matter 12 on the surface of the transparent plastic plate. It is constructed by further attaching a lenticular screen 15 which is a lens body.

The exterior panels 10 and 11 having the above-described structure can obtain a stereoscopic effect with the naked eye without using special glasses or the like. Therefore, even in a game hall where several types of amusement machines are lined up, the decorative effect is more enhanced than that of a game machine in which a pattern is printed by flat printing, so that it is easier for the viewer to pay attention to It has a higher ability to attract customers.

Further, if a desired picture is displayed on the exterior panel by three-dimensional printing, there is an advantage that many kinds of game machines having a realistic appearance can be manufactured only by exchanging the exterior panel.

In the above embodiments, the three-dimensional printing applied to the exterior panel is exemplified by a method using a lenticular screen, but the method is not limited to such a method, and hologram printing may be used, for example. Good. The point is that it is only necessary that the desired pattern is expressed by three-dimensional printing on the exterior panel, and a known method may be used for the three-dimensional printing.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the exterior panel on which the desired pattern is displayed is attached to the game machine main body 1, but it is not always necessary to attach the exterior panel, and the game machine is not always required. The pattern may be directly displayed on the main body 1. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the pattern displayed for the purpose of decoration is displayed by printing, but the pattern is not necessarily printed but is displayed by the stereoscopic image by the liquid crystal panel. May be. The point is that the design of the game machine main body for decoration purposes should be three-dimensionally processed with the naked eye to give the viewer a three-dimensional effect.

Further, in the above embodiment, the exterior panel is attached to the outer surface of the pachi-slot, but the game machine to which the exterior panel is attached is not limited to the pachi-slot. For example, a slot machine, a pachinko machine, a pinball, etc. It may be a game machine such as.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the game machine according to the present invention, since the pattern for the decoration shown on the outer surface of the game machine body is composed of the stereoscopic image, the pattern that is difficult to express on a plane is realistic. It will be able to be expressed in, and will attract the eyes of the viewer. Therefore, in a game arcade where several types of amusement machines are lined up, when a person trying to play a game chooses a machine, the ability to attract customers is conspicuously higher than that of a conventional amusement machine. Further, for a player playing with the game machine according to the present invention, a visual effect in which a desired pattern is three-dimensionally raised is produced, and the game is more interesting and hard to get tired of.

Further, as in the means described in claim 3, if a desired pattern is displayed on the exterior panel by three-dimensional printing, it is possible to manufacture a game machine having a different appearance simply by exchanging the exterior panel. Becomes
