A game machine configured to display such a determination result on an effect display unit is widely known. For example, a pachinko machine as a kind of such a gaming machine is a main body frame in which various members such as a game board and a control device are installed on an outer frame as a fixed frame installed on an installation frame base (not shown) of a game store. The front frame as a decorative frame provided with a glass plate for see-through protection of the game board is assembled to the front side of the middle frame so as to be opened and closed. In the game board, a game area in which a pachinko ball (game ball) flows down is defined, and a symbol display device as an effect display unit such as a liquid crystal type or a drum type that displays a symbol in a variable manner and produces a symbol variation effect In the game start condition that the pachinko ball flowing down the game area wins the start winning opening of the start winning device arranged on the game board, the winning lottery is performed and the symbol display device Symbol variation starts. In such a pachinko machine, one or a plurality of effective lines that are effective combinations of symbols stopped and displayed on the symbol display device are set, and a specific hit line is displayed according to the result of the winning lottery. A combination of symbols (for example, a triple of the same symbol) is stopped and displayed so that a winning game is given, and the player is given an opportunity to win a large number of prize balls (for example, Patent Document 1). .

  In such a pachinko machine, a light emitting effect device equipped with a light emitter such as an LED is disposed at an appropriate position on the game board, and the light emitter is turned on and blinking in accordance with the symbol variation effect of the symbol display device. In order to improve the production effect.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and achieve the intended purpose, a gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present application is
In a gaming machine configured to generate an advantageous state advantageous to a player,
A plurality of transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) formed so that the plate surface side emits light by light irradiated from the outer peripheral end surface and laminated in the thickness direction;
A plurality of light emitters that are provided to face the outer peripheral end faces of the respective transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) and emit light toward the outer peripheral end faces of the corresponding transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) ( 54,59) and
A notice effect execution decision means (20) for deciding to execute a notice effect that suggests the possibility of an advantageous state,
In the plurality of transparent panels, a first transparent panel (55) formed with a first figure which is visible from the plate surface side by reflecting the light introduced into the inside from the outer peripheral end face and reflected inside. The first transparent panel (55) is located on the front side of the first transparent panel and is visible from the plate surface side by reflecting the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face and introduced into the inside. And a second transparent panel (60) on which a different second pattern is formed,

As an effect based on the determination of the notice effect execution determining means (20), a first effect of causing any one of the transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) to emit light, and a plurality of transparent With a second effect that causes the panel to emit light,
The first effect and the second effect are set so that the possibility of an advantageous state is different,
When executing the second effect, the gist is that the light emission is not started simultaneously with respect to the plurality of transparent panels, but the light emission is started in order.

In this way, by laminating a plurality of transparent panels in the thickness direction and causing the light emitters disposed so as to face the outer peripheral end surfaces of the transparent panels to emit light, the plate surface side can be made to emit light for each transparent panel. That is, by changing the transparent panel that emits light, the effect mode of the light emission effect can be changed, and various light emission effects can be performed. Moreover, by providing a laminated body between the laminated transparent panels and preventing the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face of the transparent panel from being transmitted to another laminated transparent panel side, an unintended transparent panel Can be prevented from emitting light. As a result, it is possible to enhance an unexpected feeling that the effect mode of the light emission effect is changed and to improve the interest of the game.
In addition, since the plurality of transparent panels emit light in the notice effect, it is possible to increase interest in the change in the aspect of the light effect. Further, by configuring the light-emitting transparent panel to change the expectation that the advantageous state is generated, interest in the light emission of the transparent panel can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.
Furthermore, the first transparent panel and the second transparent panel in which different designs are formed can provide a light emission effect with variations. In addition, since the design of the second transparent panel is visible from the front side when light is introduced from the outer peripheral end face, the design formed on the second transparent panel obstructs the light emission effect by the first transparent panel. Never do.
Moreover, since it is preventing that the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end surface of the transparent panel permeate | transmits to the other laminated | stacked transparent panel side, it can prevent that the unintended transparent panel light-emits.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to diversify the production mode of the light emission effect and improve the interest of the game.

That is, the pre-reading notice process is executed before the next symbol variation effect is started after the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 26a, 29a. In other words, the pre-reading notice process is configured to be executed before the symbol variation effect. In the pre-reading notice process, the control device 20 sets the winning start hold information at the start of variation based on the winning start hold information acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 26a, 29a. In the case of information, it is determined in advance whether or not a jackpot display is displayed on the symbol display device 18 as a result of the symbol variation effect. Specifically, it is determined in advance whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 26a, 29a matches the prior jackpot determination value. Here, the prior jackpot determination value is set to the same value as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination. That is, if the advance jackpot determination based on the start hold information is affirmative, the start hold that has been determined to be affirmative is determined unless the gaming state (more specifically, the probability change state or the non-probability change state with different jackpot probabilities) changes. A big hit will occur when the actual variation effect (symbol variation effect) is performed using the information as start-up hold information at the start of variation.

  Further, when the pre-hit determination is made, the control device 20 generates pre-read effect information including pre-hit information indicating the determination result and sets the pre-read effect information in a predetermined storage area.

  In the control device 20 of the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, every time the pre-reading effect information is generated, it is set so as to determine whether or not to perform the continuous notice effect, and whether or not the continuous notice effect can be executed. The determination result of the determination is configured to be stored separately in association with the continuous notice execution frequency information. In the embodiment, the control device 20 stores up to four determination results as to whether or not the continuous notice effect can be executed. The control device 20 is configured to determine the number of changes (execution count) of the symbol variation effect for executing the continuous notice effect when the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided.

  The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured to perform the continuous notice effect by changing the type of light emission color of the light emission effect by the first start winning device (light emission effect device) 26. In this embodiment, four types of light emission colors are set, and these light emission color types are stored in the control device 20. As specific types of emission colors, the control device 20 stores four colors of “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, and “red”. Then, the control device 20 determines the light emission color of the light emission effect based on the pre-reading effect information set based on the start hold information stored at the time of winning the pachinko ball to the first start winning opening 26a, and in the continuous notice effect By changing the light emission color in the light emission effect as the unit effect, it is possible to suggest the possibility that the jackpot display is displayed on the symbol display device 18 (the jackpot is won). In the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of winning the big hit is set to be different depending on the light emission color of the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26. Specifically, the degree of expectation is set higher as the color changes stepwise from “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, and “red”. In addition, when the big hit is won, the probability that the control device 20 determines the emission color is set to increase in the order of “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, “red” and By setting the probability that the control device 20 determines the emission color in the case of a miss that has not been won in the order of “blue”, “yellow”, “green”, “red”, The jackpot expectation is different.

  In the embodiment, when the control device 20 determines “blue”, “yellow”, and “green” as the emission colors based on the pre-reading effect information, the control device 20 responds by controlling the third LED 54 to emit light. When the control device 20 determines “red” as the light emission color based on the pre-reading effect information, the control device 20 controls the fourth LED 59 to emit light and corresponds to the color. Is configured to emit light. That is, “blue”, “yellow”, and “green” light is emitted from the third LED 54 toward the outer peripheral end surface of the first transparent panel 55, so that the first transparent panel 55 emits surface light and the decoration. The first symbol D1 formed on the symbol display member 56 is lit and displayed. On the other hand, when the “red” light is emitted from the fourth LED 59 toward the outer peripheral end surface of the second transparent panel 60, the second pattern D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is raised. The light is displayed. That is, in the embodiment, the big hit expectation is higher when the second transparent panel 60 emits light than when the first transparent panel 55 emits light.

  In this way, the control device 20 determines the announcement effect (continuous notice effect) that suggests the possibility that the symbol display is displayed on the symbol display device 18 based on the determination result of the jackpot determination. It functions as an execution decision means. Here, in the embodiment, when the light emission color to be emitted in the continuous notice effect is determined, the LEDs 54 and 59 to be emitted are determined according to the determined light emission color, and thus the transparent panels 55 and 59 that necessarily emit light are also specified. The Rukoto. That is, since the transparent panels 55 and 59 to be lit are determined by determining the light emission color of the continuous notice effect, the control device 20 controls the transparent panels 55 and 59 to emit light in the notice effect (continuous notice effect). It has the function as a panel determination means to determine based on the determination of the control apparatus 20 as an execution determination means. When the number of executions in the continuous notice effect is plural, the control device 20 decides two (plural) transparent panels 55 and 60 when “red” is selected as the emission color and other emission colors. On the other hand, when only the emission color other than “red” is determined, only one transparent panel 55 is determined.

  In the embodiment, when the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined based on the pre-reading effect information, in the symbol variation effect executed next to the symbol variation effect being executed at the time of determination, the control device 20 An image prompting the operation of the operation button 19 is displayed on the symbol display device 18, and an operation valid period (time) for validating the operation (pressing) of the operation button 19 is set. When the player operates the operation button 19, after the operation signal of the operation button 19 is input to the control device 20, after the first LED 48a is emitted, the control is performed at the time when the continuous notice effect is determined. The unit effect (light emission effect) of the first change of the continuous notice effect that is performed using the oldest start hold information stored in the device 20 as the start hold information at the start of change is configured to be executed. If the operation signal is not input to the control device 20 before the operation effective period elapses, the first variation unit effect (light emission effect) is executed when the operation effective period elapses. Yes.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the control device 20 is configured to determine the emission color so that the big hit expectation indicated by the unit effect (light emission effect) in the continuous notice effect is not lowered. Specifically, when the emission color of the unit effect (light emission effect) of the first variation is “blue”, “blue”, “yellow”, and “green” are the emission colors of the unit effect (emission effect) of the second variation. If the emission color of the first variation unit effect (light emission effect) is “yellow”, the emission color of the second variation unit effect (light emission effect) is other than “blue”. Similarly, when the emission color of the unit effect (light emission effect) of the first variation is “green”, “blue” and the emission color of the unit effect (emission effect) of the second variation are determined. Light emission colors other than “yellow” can be determined.

When the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 12a wins the first start winning device 26 or the second start winning device 29, the symbol changing effect on the symbol display device 18 is started based on the control of the control device 20, and the symbol display effect is started. If a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the symbol display device 18 as a result of the variation effect, a big hit occurs. When a big hit occurs, according to the symbol combination displayed on the symbol display device 18, a big hit game is executed in which the special winning opening 27a of the special winning device 27 provided in the game board 12 is controlled to be opened under a predetermined condition. At the same time, a big hit effect is performed in the symbol display device 18 based on the control of the control device 20.

  In the pachinko machine 10, a plurality of types of LEDs 48a, 48b, 54, 59 provided in the first start winning device 26 are lit or blinked in accordance with a symbol variation effect or a jackpot effect performed by the symbol display device 18. Thus, the entertainment of the game is improved by the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26.

(About the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26)
In the first start winning device 26, when the first LED 48 a of the first light emitting substrate 48 emits light, the light transmitting member 57 accommodated in the accommodating member 38 is illuminated from the back side and formed on the light transmitting member 57. The displayed design 57a is displayed by light emission. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the first LEDs 48 a are accommodated in the respective illumination chambers 47 defined by the light shielding member 45, so that each first LED 48 a accommodated in the illumination chamber 47 is individually provided. By controlling the light emission, the light emission region of the light transmitting member 57 on which the design 57a is displayed can be changed, and the light emission effects can be diversified. In addition, when the second LED 48b of the first light emitting substrate 48 emits light, the outside of the light transmitting member 57 is illuminated from the back side, and the outside of the design 57a that is lit and displayed by the first LED 48a is illuminated and decorated. Can improve. Since the second LED 48b is arranged outside the light shielding member 45 as shown in FIG. 7, the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 is not illuminated by the light emitted from the second LED 48b. When not, the design 57a can be prevented from being illuminated.

  When the third LED 54 emits light with the first and second LEDs 48a and 48b turned off, the light emitted from the third LED 54 is introduced into the inside from the lower outer peripheral surface of the first transparent panel 55, The entire first transparent panel 55 emits surface light. As a result, the first symbol D1 formed on the decorative symbol display member 56 is lit and displayed. In this case, since the first laminated body 58 is disposed between the first transparent panel 55 and the light transmission member 57, the light introduced into the first transparent panel 55 is the light transmission member 57. Permeation to the side is prevented. That is, the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 is prevented from being lit and displayed by the light of the third LED 54, and the design that is lit and displayed behind the first design D1 that is lit and displayed on the front side of the first transparent panel 55. By overlapping 57a, it is possible to prevent the first pattern D1 from becoming inconspicuous.

  Next, when the fourth LED 59 emits light with the first and second LEDs 48a, 48b and the third LED 54 turned off, the light emitted from the fourth LED 59 is emitted from the lower outer peripheral surface of the second transparent panel 60. The light is displayed so that the second pattern D2 formed in the second transparent panel 60 is introduced into the interior of the second transparent panel 60. In this case, since the second laminated body 61 is disposed between the second transparent panel 60 and the decorative design display member 56, the light introduced into the second transparent panel 60 is displayed as a decorative design display. Transmission to the member 56 side is prevented. That is, the first symbol D1 of the decorative symbol display member 56 is prevented from being lit and displayed by the light of the fourth LED 59, and the first symbol D1 is behind the second symbol D2 that is lit and displayed on the second transparent panel 60. It is possible to prevent the second pattern D2 from becoming inconspicuous by overlapping and being displayed.

  Since the second symbol D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is visible from the front side when light is introduced from the outer peripheral end face, the second symbol D2 can arbitrarily emit light by turning on / off the fourth LED 59. It can be displayed, and a light emission effect with variations is possible. In addition, in the state where the fourth LED 59 is turned off, the second design D2 of the second transparent panel 60 is not lit and displayed, so that the second transparent design D2 is in the state where the light is not introduced from the outer peripheral end face. The light emission effect of the first pattern D1 by the panel 55 and the light emission effect by the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 by the first LED 48a are not hindered. Moreover, since the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face is prevented from being transmitted to the back side by the second laminated body 61, when the third LED 54 is turned off and the fourth LED 59 is turned on, the second symbol D2 is displayed. The unexpectedness at the time can be improved.

  In the first start winning device 26 of the embodiment, two transparent panels 55 and 60 are stacked in the thickness direction, and the LEDs 54 and 59 arranged so as to face the outer peripheral end faces of the transparent panels 55 and 60 individually emit light. Thereby, the plate | board surface side can be light-emitted every transparent panel 55,60. That is, by changing the transparent panels 55 and 60 to emit light, the effect mode of the light emission effect can be changed, and various light emission effects can be performed. Further, the second laminated body 61 is disposed between the laminated transparent panels 55 and 60, and the first laminated body 58 is disposed between the first transparent panel 55 and the light transmission member 57. Since the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face of 60 is prevented from being transmitted to the other transparent panels 55 and 60 and the light transmitting member 57 side which are laminated, the unintended transparent panels 55 and 60 and the light transmitting member 57 are prevented. Can be prevented from emitting light. As a result, it is possible to enhance an unexpected feeling that the effect mode of the light emission effect is changed and to improve the interest of the game.

  In the first start winning device 26 of the embodiment, the first to fourth LEDs 48a, 48b, 54, 59 arranged in the winning device 26 are caused to emit light individually, so that the plate surfaces of the transparent panels 55, 60 are illuminated. Thus, it is possible to switch between a light emission effect mode in which the first symbol D1 and the second symbol D2 are displayed in a light-emitting manner and a light emission effect mode in which the design 57a displayed on the light transmitting member 57 is visible from the plate surface side. The production can be diversified. In addition, a light-emitting effect that emits light on the plate surface side of the transparent panels 55 and 60 can be performed on top of the light-emitting effect that allows the design 57a displayed by the light emitted from the first LED 48a to be visually recognized. Is possible. Furthermore, since the second pattern D2 of the second transparent panel 60 is visible from the front side when light is introduced from the outer peripheral end face, it is emitted from the first LED 48a when light is not introduced from the outer peripheral end face. When the light emission effect for displaying the design 57 a displayed by light is performed alone, this light emission effect is not hindered by the second design D <b> 2 of the second transparent panel 60.

  Since the inner surface of the surrounding wall portion 56b that covers a portion other than the lower outer peripheral end surface of the first transparent panel 55 in the decorative design display member 56 is configured as a light reflecting surface, the light introduced from the lower outer peripheral end surface Thus, the light emission intensity of the first transparent panel 55 can be improved, and the first symbol D1 of the decorative symbol display member 56 can be displayed with strong light. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a second light passage opening 56c is formed in a portion of the surrounding wall portion 56b facing the lower side of the ball receiving portion 38a, and a part of the light of the plurality of third LEDs 54 is formed. The axis is set so as to face the second light passage opening 56c. As a result, the light introduced from the outer peripheral end face of the first transparent panel 55 into the ball receiving portion 38a to which the pachinko ball won from the first start winning opening 26a rolls through the second light passage opening 56c is rolled. It is possible to irradiate the bottom surface, and it is possible to improve the production effect by light emission. That is, by causing the third LED 54 to emit light, a light emitting effect by light emission of the first transparent panel 55 and a ball receiving portion that is a ball rolling portion of a pachinko ball that has won a prize at the first start winning opening 26a that the player is paying attention to. The light emission effect by the light emission of 38a can be realized at the same time.

  Further, in the first start winning device 26 of the embodiment, the first light passage opening is formed at a portion of the outer peripheral wall portion 45a of the light shielding member 45 facing the lower side of the rear spherical passage 49a provided in the substrate support member 49. Since the portion 45b is opened (see FIG. 6), the rear bulb passage 49a is illuminated by light leaked from each illumination chamber 47 through the first light passage opening 45b when the first LED 48a emits light. be able to. That is, by causing the first LED 48a to emit light, the light emitting effect of displaying the design 57a of the light transmissive member 57 by light emission and the ball rolling part of the pachinko ball won in the first start winning opening 26a that the player is paying attention to. It is possible to simultaneously realize a light emission effect by light emission from a certain rear sphere passage 49a.

  Next, in the case where the light emission effect of the first start winning device 26 is used as a unit effect of the continuous notice effect, the number of executions of the continuous notice effect is four and the light emission color is “blue” → “yellow” → “green” The case will be described where the order is determined in the order of “→ red”.

  When the control device 20 determines the execution of the continuous notice effect based on the pre-reading effect information, the oldest start hold information stored in the control device 20 at the time of determination of the continuous notice effect is used as the start change information at the start of variation. In the symbol variation effect performed as described above, the control device 20 displays an image prompting the operation of the operation button 19 and sets an operation valid period during which the operation of the operation button 19 is valid. When an operation signal of the operation button 19 is input to the control device 20 within the operation effective period, the control device 20 controls the first LED 48a mounted on the first light emitting substrate 48 to emit light. Thereby, as described above, the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 is lit and displayed. Further, the unit effect of the first change of the continuous notice effect is executed. That is, since the emission color as the unit effect of the first variation is determined to be “blue”, the third LED 54 emits blue light in the first start winning device 26, and the first transparent panel 55 is blue. By emitting light, the first symbol D1 of the decorative symbol display member 56 is lit and displayed in blue. When the operation signal of the operation button 19 is input to the control device 20, the control device 20 performs an effect that the lightning falls from the upper side to the lower side in the display unit of the symbol display device 18. By controlling 18, it is possible to improve the interest of the production in combination with the production in which the design 57 a is emitted and displayed.

  Next, in the unit effect of the second change of the continuous notice effect, the second oldest start hold information stored in the control device 20 at the time of determination of the continuous notice effect is used as the start change information at the start of change, the emission color is Since “Yellow” is determined, the third LED 54 emits yellow light in the first start winning device 26, and the first transparent panel 55 emits yellow surface light, so that the first symbol D1 is light-emitted yellow. Is done. Similarly, in the unit effect of the third change of the continuous notice effect performed using the third oldest start hold information stored in the control device 20 at the time of determination of the continuous notice effect as the change start start hold information, the emission color is Since “green” is determined, the third LED 54 emits green light in the first start winning device 26, and the first transparent panel 55 emits green light so that the first symbol D1 emits light in green. Is done. If the emission color is "blue", "yellow", or "green", the same first design D1 is displayed with light emission, but the game is expected to win a big hit by changing the emission color. Can enjoy.

  In the unit effect of the main change effect (fourth change) of the continuous notice effect, the red color is determined to be “red”, so that the fourth LED 59 emits red light in the first start winning device 26, and The second pattern D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is displayed in a light-emitting manner so as to be highlighted in red. That is, since the light emission color changes and the pattern of light emission display changes, the interest in the light emission effect can be enhanced.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the expectation level for displaying the jackpot display is set to be different depending on the type of light emission color in the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26, and the light emission display is performed according to the light emission color. The symbols D1 and D2 (transparent panels 55 and 60) are different from each other. Therefore, interest in the types of the transparent panels 55 and 60 that emit light in the light emission effect in the continuous notice effect can be increased, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, since the emission color changes in the continuous notice effect, that is, the expectation that the big hit is displayed by changing the transparent panels 55 and 60 that emit light is set to be high, the transparent panels 55 and 60 that emit light are set. It is possible to raise interest in the kind of game and improve the interest of the game.

  When the first transparent panel 55 emits light, the first symbol D1 composed of a transparent portion is displayed on the decorative symbol display member 56 while the second transparent panel 60 emits light. Is displayed in a light-emitting manner so that the second pattern D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is raised. Thus, since the light emission effect varies depending on the type of the transparent panels 55 and 60 that emit light, a light emission effect with variations is possible. In addition, since the type of the transparent panels 55 and 60 that emit light changes, the expectation that the jackpot display is displayed is also increased, so that the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided, the light transmitting member 57 is formed by emitting the first LED 48a before the transparent panels 55 and 60 emit light. Since the design 57a is displayed in a light-emitting manner, it is possible to attract attention to the subsequent notice effect using the transparent panels 55 and 60, and to improve the interest of the game.

(About another example)
FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the transparent panel disposed in the first start winning device 26 of the pachinko machine 10, and only the parts different from the above-described embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 9 shows a first transparent panel 64 and a second transparent panel 65 of another embodiment, and the third pattern D3 is formed on the first transparent panel 64 by the method described in the above-described embodiment.

By emitting light, the second pattern D2 is displayed in a visible manner so as to be visible from the front side. Since the first transparent panel 64 and the second transparent panel 65 are laminated so that the symbols D2 and D3 overlap each other, the symbols D2 and D3 formed on the transparent panels 64 and 65 emit light at the same place. be able to. That is, since different light emission effects can be performed at the same place, the effect modes of the light emission effects can be varied and the interest in the contents of the light emission effects can be increased.

When the light emitting effect device of the embodiment is adopted in the slot machine, detection of the start lever for starting the game satisfies the game start condition.

Regarding gaming machines, the following technical ideas can be grasped.

Panel determining means (20) for determining a transparent panel (55, 60, 64, 65) to emit light in the notice effect based on the determination of the notice effect execution determining means (20),
In the stacking direction of the plurality of transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65), a light transmitting member (57) on which a design (57a) is displayed is disposed, and behind the light transmitting member (57). , Another light emitter (48a) that irradiates light forward is disposed,
When the notice effect determining means (20) determines execution of the notice effect, the light emitter (54) facing the outer peripheral end face of the transparent panel (55, 60, 64, 65) determined by the panel determining means (20). , 60) before emitting light, the other light emitter (48a) is caused to emit light, and the design (57a) displayed on the light transmitting member (57) by the light emitted from the other light emitter (48a) is obtained.

Depending on the type of transparent panel that emits light (55, 60, 64, 65)
Based on the determination of the notice effect execution determining means (20), the panel determining means (20) is configured to determine a plurality of transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) to emit light in the notice effect, and The gist is that the plurality of transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) are configured to emit light in order of increasing expectation that an advantageous state is generated.
In this way, by laminating a plurality of transparent panels in the thickness direction and causing the light emitters disposed so as to face the outer peripheral end surfaces of the transparent panels to emit light, the plate surface side can be made to emit light for each transparent panel. That is, by changing the transparent panel that emits light, the effect mode of the light emission effect can be changed, and various light emission effects can be performed. Moreover, by providing a laminated body between the laminated transparent panels and preventing the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face of the transparent panel from being transmitted to another laminated transparent panel side, an unintended transparent panel Can be prevented from emitting light. As a result, it is possible to enhance an unexpected feeling that the effect mode of the light emission effect is changed and to improve the interest of the game.

A light emitting effect mode in which a light emitting body arranged to face the outer peripheral end face of each transparent panel emits light to emit light on the plate surface side of the transparent panel, and a design displayed on the light transmitting member by light emitted from another light emitting body Can be switched to a light emission effect mode that can be visually recognized from the plate surface side, and the light emission effect can be diversified. In addition, a light-emitting effect that emits light on the plate surface side of the transparent panel can be superimposed on a light-emitting effect that makes it possible to visually recognize the design displayed by the light emitted from another light emitter. It becomes. In addition, the pattern of the transparent panel is visible from the front side when light is introduced from the outer peripheral end face, and thus is displayed by light emitted from another light emitter when light is not introduced from the outer peripheral end face. When the light emission effect for displaying the design is performed alone, the light emission effect is not hindered by the transparent panel.
Furthermore, when the execution of the notice effect is decided, before the light emitter facing the outer peripheral end face of the transparent panel emits light, another light emitter is caused to emit light so that the design displayed on the light transmitting member is displayed. By doing so, it is possible to attract interest in the subsequent notice effect.

It does not hinder the light production. Moreover, each transparent panel is partitioned by the laminate to prevent the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end surface from being transmitted to another laminated transparent panel, which is unexpected when the pattern of the transparent panel is lit and displayed. Can increase the sex.
