The DLP system of the projector device B2 is mainly composed of a DLP control circuit 883, an LED driver 884, and an LED light source and a DMD of the optical mechanism B24.

The DMD is a collection of mirrors corresponding to pixels corresponding to the display resolution on the main surface of the semiconductor chip. The DMD is configured so that each mirror is tilted by + 10 ° or −10 ° about an axis along the diagonal line with respect to the main surface due to the static electric field action of the memory element directly under each mirror. With such a configuration, each mirror of the DMD is switched between an ON state (a state of reflecting light in a predetermined direction) and an OFF state (a state of reflecting light outside the predetermined direction). That is, each mirror of the DMD guides the light incident from the LED light source through the dichroic mirror or the like (not shown) to the lens unit again through the dichroic mirror or the like when it is in the ON state, while the LED light source is in the OFF state. Light incident from the dichroic mirror or the like is reflected in a direction other than the lens unit.

The DLP control circuit 883 controls the LED driver 884 that drives the LED light source, and causes the light of each RGB color from the LED light source to be incident on the DMD in a time-divided manner through a dichroic mirror or the like (not shown). At this time, the DLP control circuit 883 turns the mirror corresponding to which pixel into the ON state or the OFF state at which timing according to the projected image, that is, which color of the RGB light has which timing. Determines whether to reflect in a predetermined direction, and controls the ON / OFF state of each mirror of the DMD.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the worker's hand or the like from being injured, and it is possible to protect the worker more effectively.

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

The knob 123 has a flange 123A capable of contacting the rear wall 124E, and the slit 124s has a length such that the tip portion 124t of the slit 124s in the extending direction is covered with the flange 123A in a state where the lower door mechanism DD is closed. It is formed.

As a result, even if a wire or the like is inserted into the cover member 124 through the slit 124s, it is possible to prevent the wire or the like from being inserted in front of the flange 123A, and the knob 123 cannot be moved in the pushing direction. It is also not possible to maintain the position of the pushed knob 123. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the door open / close monitoring switch main bodies 122A and 122B from erroneously detecting that the lower door mechanism DD is in the closed state even though the lower door mechanism DD is open. The act can be prevented more effectively.

Further, since the slit 124s is provided on the lower wall 124B of the cover member 124, it is 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 acts.

The door open / close monitoring switch 61 of the present embodiment is housed in a housing member 121 provided at the right end of the cancel chute 120, but may be housed in an independent housing member.

Further, the door open / close monitoring switch 61 of the present embodiment has a pair of door open / close monitoring switch main bodies 122A and 122B, but includes one door open / close monitoring switch main body or three or more door open / close monitoring switch main bodies. But it may be.

Further, the reciprocating member of the present embodiment is composed of the plungers 122a and 122b and the knob 123 provided on the door open / close monitoring switch main bodies 122A and 122B, but may be composed of one member.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 66 to 69, the configuration of the identification information display unit according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

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

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

The identification information for identifying each game machine component includes information indicating the manufacturing date and time of the game machine component and the manufacturing location (own factory, external factory, etc.) of the game machine component. In addition to the above-mentioned information, the above-mentioned identification information may include, for example, parts manufacturer information, part model information, and the like.

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

The identification information display unit 500 is provided on the upper surface (top surface) of the cabinet G as the main body of the gaming machine. The identification information display unit 500 displays a two-dimensional code unique to each cabinet G in order to distinguish it from other cabinets G.

The identification information display unit 501 is provided in the display unit A. The identification information display unit 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 unit 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 unit is provided not only in each of the game machine components described above, but also in other game machine components such as an upper door mechanism UD, a selector unit, a liquid crystal unit, and a sub-board unit. In the present embodiment, the representative identification information display unit among the plurality of identification information display units 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 game machine 1. The code is read. As a result, the manufacturing date and time and the manufacturing location of each game machine component can be 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 units 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, and 505 are visually recognized from the outside (front of the gaming machine 1) with the inside of the cabinet G open so that they can be easily read in the manufacturing process as described above. It is placed in each possible location.

Therefore, when reading the two-dimensional code using a portable terminal or the like, it is not necessary to remove the game machine component from the cabinet G, and the game machine configuration is configured with the game machine component attached to the cabinet G. The two-dimensional code displayed on the part can be read.

Here, in the state where the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G (the 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. It ends up.

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 of a configuration in which the upper door mechanism UD is separately removable from the cabinet G (not a configuration rotatably attached to the cabinet G) as in the game machine 1 of the present embodiment, one step is taken in the manufacturing process. After the assembly of the street is completed, the cabinet G is transported, for example, in the factory with the upper door mechanism UD attached. Therefore, when the gaming machine 1 is brought into the process of reading the 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 so 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 rear space side of the upper opening G101 toward the rear space side of the lower opening G102. The projecting portion C100 is formed so as to project downward from the front end of the bottom plate C1 (see FIGS. 5 and 9) of the projector housing C10.

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

As shown in FIG. 69, the projecting portion C100 projects 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, the protrusion C100 is located in the rear space of the lower opening G102 when the upper door mechanism UD is attached to the cabinet G.

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

As shown in FIG. 68A, in the assembled gaming machine 1, 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 has the lower opening. In a state where the unit G102 is closed, the unit G102 is transported to a place where the reading process of each identification information display unit in the manufacturing process is performed.

As shown in FIG. 68B, 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 unit 501 provided on the protrusion C100 is provided. Becomes visible from the lower opening G102.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 68 (c), it is possible to read the identification information display unit 501 of the display unit A without having to remove the upper door mechanism UD from the cabinet G. Therefore, the two-dimensional code of all the game machine components provided with the identification information display unit can be read only by opening only the lower door mechanism DD with the upper door mechanism UD attached to the cabinet G.

Here, the upper door mechanism UD is configured to be detachably attached to the cabinet G, and removal from the cabinet G is restricted when the lower door mechanism DD closes the lower opening G102. It has become. As a result, the upper door mechanism UD cannot open the upper opening G101 when the lower door mechanism DD closes the lower opening G102.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 69, the lower door mechanism DD has a restricting portion 550 formed above the lower door mechanism DD so as to project rearward. The regulation unit 550 is provided so as to extend in the left-right direction of the gaming machine 1.

Further, the upper door mechanism UD has a groove portion 560 formed in a concave shape toward the rear in the lower portion thereof. The groove portion 560 is provided so as 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 portion 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.

As a result, it becomes impossible to open or remove only the upper door mechanism UD 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. There is.

As described above, according to the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the cabinet G is in a state where the upper door mechanism UD shields the upper opening G101 and the lower door mechanism DD does not shield the lower opening G102. Since the identification information display unit 501 can be visually recognized from the outside of the door, for example, the identification information of the display unit A arranged in the rear space of the upper opening G101 even when the upper opening G101 is shielded in the manufacturing process of the game machine 1. It becomes possible to read the coded two-dimensional code by a mobile 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 in the game machine 1 that 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 unit 501 can be easily confirmed, and the manufacturing process can be performed. It is possible to prevent the work efficiency of the work from being lowered.

Further, since the projecting portion C100 projects below the mounting surface G11 of the intermediate support plate G1 on which the display unit A is mounted, the projecting portion C100 is used when the display unit A is mounted on the intermediate support plate G1. The protruding portion C100 can function as a stopper by abutting the back surface side of the intermediate support plate G1. Further, when the display unit A is removed from the intermediate support plate G1, the protruding portion C100 can function as a gripping portion on which the operator puts a finger.

The upper door mechanism UD may not be a detachable type but may be a rotary type like the lower door mechanism DD. If the gaming machine components are arranged so that the identification information display unit 501 can be visually recognized when either the upper door mechanism UD or the lower door mechanism DD is opened, both of them are confirmed when the identification information display unit 501 is confirmed. Since it is not necessary to open the doors (upper door mechanism UD and lower door mechanism DD), work efficiency is improved.

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

In this case, for example, the identification information display unit of the gaming machine component arranged behind the lower opening G102 is located behind the upper opening G101 from the rear space side of the lower opening G102, as in the present embodiment. It is preferable to provide it on a protruding portion protruding toward the space side. As a result, when the upper door mechanism UD, which is the door that is easier to open, is opened, the identification information display unit of the gaming machine component arranged behind the lower opening G102 becomes visible, and the work efficiency is improved. ..

Further, when there are two or more door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G, all the door members may be removable, and the identification information display unit may be attached / detached when the door member that is easier to attach / detach is attached / detached. May be configured to be visible.

Further, even if the door member attachment / detachment work is not completely completed, the identification information display unit may be visible when the attachment / detachment work is performed halfway. For example, if the identification information display unit can be visually recognized when the detachable door member is slightly lifted in the attachment / detachment work, it is not necessary to attach / detach the entire door member when checking the identification information display unit. , Work efficiency is improved and it leads to reduction of worker fatigue.

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

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

When there are three or more door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G, it is arbitrary which door member is rotatable or removable, for example, of the three door members. Of these, when two are detachable and one is rotatable, the identification information display unit may be visible when the rotary door member is opened. Further, in the case of a structure in which the rotation of the rotatable door member is restricted by another removable door member, the identification information display unit may be visible when the removable door member is attached / detached.

Further, when there are two or more door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G, the structure is not limited to the configuration in which the two or more door members are arranged vertically, and the cabinet G has a function of shielding the opening G100. For example, the arrangement of the door members is not limited to the arrangement of the present embodiment. For example, two door members may be arranged side by side, and the two door members may be opened so as to rotate outward from the center of the gaming machine, that is, a so-called double door structure may be used. Further, both of the two door members arranged side by side may be detachable, or one of them may be detachable. Further, another door member may be further arranged above or below the two door members arranged side by side. In this case as well, all of them may be removable, or any door member may be removable.

In such a case, it is desirable that the identification information display unit becomes visible when the door member that can be easily opened / closed or attached / detached is opened.

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

Further, the sub-door may be configured to be detachable from the main door, and the sub-door may be provided with an engaging portion with respect to 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. The sub door may be composed of a sliding opening / closing member with respect to the main door.

In the case of the 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 detached.

Further, the door member that shields the opening G100 of the cabinet G may be used as the outer door, and the inner door may be provided inside the cabinet G in addition to the outer door. The outer door may be either rotatable or removable.

In this case, the identification information display unit may be visible when the outer door is opened or detached.

Alternatively, even if a plurality of rotary or removable inner doors are provided inside the cabinet G and the identification information display unit can be visually recognized when one of the inner doors is opened or detached. good. In this case, since the identification information display unit can be confirmed without opening or attaching / detaching all the inner doors, the efficiency of the confirmation work can be improved.

Further, one or a plurality of door members that shield the opening G100 of the cabinet G may be formed of a sliding door member. In this case, the sliding direction of the sliding door member may be left / right, up / down, front / back, or diagonal. Further, the sliding door member may be of a type that rotates around a certain fulcrum.

Unlike the rotary door member, the sliding door member does not require a large space in the 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 the sliding door member is used, the identification information display unit 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, in consideration of security when installing it in the game hall, opening by sliding the door member from the outside of the gaming machine is restricted before shipping the gaming machine. It is preferable to provide a locking mechanism that can be locked so as to do so.

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

Further, in the case of a gaming machine that can be played only by the game value based on electronic data without using tangible objects such as medals and gaming balls as the gaming medium, a hopper device or the like is not required, so that such a gaming machine also has intermediate support. It is not necessary to provide the plate G1. In this case, it is desirable to provide a mounting table that matches the height of the display window (main display window DD4 in the present embodiment) for visually recognizing the reels, and mount the reel unit RU on the mounting table.

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

With these configurations, the air inside the cabinet G can easily flow due to the communication between the upper space and the lower space inside the cabinet G, and the reel unit RU, various boards, the projector device B2, and the movable accessory can be driven. It is possible to prevent the temperature inside the cabinet G from rising by storing the heat generated when the motor or the like is energized in one place inside the cabinet G. This makes it possible to prevent problems caused by the temperature rise inside the cabinet G.

Further, 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, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the door member is applied to a frame-shaped gaming machine frame without a back plate. It may be applied to a so-called pachinko gaming 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 constituting the outer shell of the pachinko gaming machine. Be done.

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

Therefore, when the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment is applied to the enclosed gaming machine, the cabinet G is such that both the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD are difficult to open / close or attach / detach in the hall (game hall). It may be attached to. Even in such a case, in the manufacturing process of the gaming machine, only the upper door mechanism UD is fixed in the state before the last door member to be fixed (if the upper door mechanism UD → the lower door mechanism DD is fixed in this order). By making the identification information display unit 501 visible when the lower door mechanism DD is open or not attached), the unit number can be easily confirmed and the work efficiency is improved.

In the present embodiment, the identification information is such that the two-dimensional code or the like is read by a predetermined mobile terminal or the like, but it may be simply displayed for the operator to visually confirm. For example, the model name, unit number, etc. may be displayed on the identification information display unit, and either or both of a two-dimensional code or the like for reading using a mobile terminal or the like and a visual display may be displayed. It may be used together.

Further, the identification information displayed on the identification information display unit may be information other than the manufacturing control information such as the manufacturing date and time and the manufacturing place of the game machine component. For example, on the identification information display unit, a sticker indicating that the product has a regular license for the rights that require a license, such as copyrighted works of music, images, etc. (movies, animations, games, etc.) used in the model. , The license sticker of the manufacturer's union or the certificate stamp of the patent management organization may be affixed. Further, the identification information for manufacturing control and the other identification information may be displayed together, for example, by writing them together in one identification information display unit.

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

The translucent plate 1045 is mainly made of a resin such as a translucent acrylic plate or a glass plate, and is formed so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface. The translucent plate 1045 has a flat surface portion 1045a located at the center, a curved portion 1045b formed continuously from the left and right side edges of the flat surface portion 1045a toward the rear, and the curved portion 1045b toward the rear from the rear end. The side surface portion 1045c formed continuously is provided. The flat surface portion 1045a and the side surface portion 1045c are formed in a planar shape, and their surfaces are substantially orthogonal to each other. The curved portion 1045b has a shape in which a flat plate is curved.

The screen sheet 1046 is a transmissive screen displayed by projecting a projected image from the rear, and the incident surface on the back surface on which the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident and the light incident on the incident surface are transmitted. It has a display surface on the front side on which a projected image is projected. Screen sheet 10 The main material is a fat film, which is formed so as to have an even thickness over the entire surface, and exhibits a milky white, translucent, or gray color when not projected.

The screen sheet 1046 includes a flat surface portion 1046a located at the center and a curved portion 1046b formed continuously from both left and right side edges of the flat surface portion 1046a toward the rear. The flat surface portion 1046a is formed in a planar shape, and the curved portion 1046b has a shape in which a flat plate is curved. The flat surface portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b of the screen sheet 1046 have substantially the same size and shape as the flat surface portion 1045a and the curved portion 1045b of the translucent plate 1045.

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

When the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the incident surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1046, an image (still image or still image) related to the game is applied to the display surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1046. Moving image) is displayed. Since the translucent plate 1045 is formed transparently and there is no structure in front of the translucent plate 1045 that blocks the player's view, when an image is displayed on the screen sheet 1046, the image is displayed by the player. It becomes visible from.

Further, since the screen sheet 1046 has a flat surface portion 1046a and a curved portion 1046b, and the positions in the depth direction are different between the flat surface portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b, images are displayed on both the flat surface portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b. By displaying the image, it is possible to give a three-dimensional effect to the entire image displayed on the screen sheet 1046. Further, in the translucent plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046, the curved portion 1045b and the curved portion 1046b are formed by forming (molding in an open space), respectively, and thereby, for example, when the curved portion is formed by vacuum processing or the like.

The pressing surface UD101a of the lower pressing member UD101 and the pressing surface UD102a of the upper pressing member UD102 each have a portion formed in a curved shape corresponding to the shape of the screen sheet 1046. As a result, the screen sheet 1046 can be brought into close contact with the translucent plate 1045 while suppressing the formation of a gap between the translucent plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 and the occurrence of wrinkles on the screen sheet 1046. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the image visually recognized by the player from being disturbed.

As shown in FIG. 78, when the translucent plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 are in close contact with each other and viewed from the rear, the flat surface portion 1045a and the curved portion 1045b of the translucent plate 1045 are the flat surface portions of the screen sheet 1046. While the 1046a and the curved portion 1046b are covered, the side surface portion 1045c of the translucent plate 1045 is not covered by the screen sheet 1046 and is exposed.

Although not shown, the cabinet G is arranged on the back side of the translucent 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 at least a gap corresponding to the length in the front-rear direction of the side surface portion 1045c of the translucent plate 1045. For the sake of clarity, such gaps are shown by diagonal lines in FIG. 78.

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

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 on the surface of a substrate by a conventionally known method, and a part of the incident light can be formed. While reflecting, it has the property of transmitting part of it.

By arranging such a half mirror on the front side of the screen sheet 1057, when light is not projected from the projector 9020, an object existing around the third structure 1053 is reflected, for example, black plating is applied. It will look like a part with a sword. As the object existing around the third structure 1053, for example, a structure having a shape imitating a chain as shown in FIG. 71 can be provided. The structure having a shape imitating a chain may be provided in the vicinity of the third structure 1053, or the third structure 1053 (half mirror) itself may be formed in the shape. On the other hand, when the light is 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) is flowing and moving is displayed on the screen sheet 1057. This makes it possible to produce an effect as if the stationary object is moving when no light is projected from the projector 9020. As described above, according to the above configuration, an attractive effect can be produced by both the modeled object and the image related to the modeled object.

Further, 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. As a result, the light projected from the projector 9020 is diffused, and in combination with the modeled object arranged on the front side of the screen sheet 1056, an attractive effect can be produced. For example, as shown in FIG. 71, when the first structure 1051 is formed in the character shape of "GOD", the image corresponding to the character "GOD" is displayed on the screen sheet 1056 to "GOD". It is possible to create an appearance in which the characters "" are shining. Further, the center of the light projected from the projector 9020 (irradiation light emitted from the vicinity of the optical axis of the projection lens) is incident on 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 the prism layer having a high light-collecting effect, it is possible to prevent the brightness of the image displayed on the screen sheet 1056 from being lowered. As with the screen sheet 1057, a half mirror may be arranged on the front side of the screen sheet 1056.

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

The sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) is compared with other LEDs among the triple LEDs 431 as a light emitting mode of the triple LEDs 431, for example, when light is projected onto the screen sheets 391b and 392b by the projector device B2. It is possible to control the light emitting mode so that the LED in a light emitting state having high brightness is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction. As a result, it is possible to execute an effect in which the area that looks bright in the image projected on the center screen 391 is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction. Of the triple LEDs 431, the light emitting mode may be controlled so that the LED in a light emitting state having a lower brightness than the other LEDs is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction.

In addition to the above-mentioned effects, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) can perform various effects as described below by using the triple LED 431 and the projector device B2.

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

Specifically, the images of the red, yellow, and green signals in the PM image are projected with low luminance. Therefore, when the triple LED 431 is turned off, the red, yellow, and green signals are turned off (dark lighting) from the player's appearance (appearance) of the images of the red, yellow, and green signals. It looks as if you are doing it.

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

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

Then, in (2), the left LED 431L located behind the image of the red traffic light is turned on. As a result, although there is no change in the PM image, it appears to the player that the red light is lit.

In the past, it was possible to display a signal that lights up just by changing the PM image, but by superimposing the LED light on the PM image from behind, a realistic light texture that cannot be expressed by the PM image alone can be achieved. Can be expressed.

Here, the rear left LED 431L may be made to emit red light to emphasize red, or may be made to emit white light to emphasize the change in brightness of the red PM image. Here, at substantially the same time as the left LED 431L is turned on, the red color of the PM image may be changed to a brighter red color to emphasize the change in color and apparent brightness.

Then, in (3), the left LED 431L blinks. As a result, although there is no change in the PM image, the player sees the red light as if it is blinking.

Strictly speaking, if you want to limit the area illuminated by the LED so that the entire left area of the screen sheet 391b does not blink around the rear of the red light image, the light guide is directed to the front of the LED. It is desirable to provide a section or a light-shielding section to limit the area affected by the light from the LED.

Since each LED of the triple LED 431 is partitioned by a recess 400c of the front first reflex member (light-shielding member) 400, the light projection positions can be roughly divided into a left region, a middle region, and a right region. When it is desired to limit the position where the light is projected pinpointly as in the production example, it is preferable that the recess 400c of the first reflex member (light-shielding member) 400 is set deeper than that of the present embodiment to form a cylinder.

Then, in (4), the left LED 431L is turned off and the middle LED 431C is turned on. As a result, although there is no change in the PM image, the player sees that the blinking red traffic light is turned off and the yellow traffic light is turned on. In this way, the effect of the effect can be enhanced by changing the light emitting mode of the triple LED 431 in the order of (1) to (4).

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

Further, the triple LED 431 may be turned on or blinked first, and then the PM image may be projected. In this case, since the lighting or blinking of the triple LED 431 suggests the appearance of the PM image, it is possible to attract the attention of the player.

In addition, if the PM image does not appear only by lighting or blinking the triple LED 431, it is a "loss" that is disadvantageous to the player, and if a PM image appears, it is determined to shift to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. For example, a step-up effect (step-up effect) may be performed by combining the projection light by the triple LED 431 and the PM image. Here, for example, even if the PM images are the same, if the light projection of the triple LED 431 is generated, the winning expectation of the advantageous gaming state may be increased.

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

In addition, the brightness of the PM image and 3 are such that a PM image with a change in brightness is projected and the brightness of the triple LED 431 is increased to emphasize the brightness when the PM image is changed to a relatively bright PM image. It may be linked with the brightness of the continuous LED 431.

Further, in the present embodiment, the position of the LED substrate 430 for light projection is fixed, but a triple LED 431 may be provided in the movable portion so that the position can be changed. Further, among the triple LEDs 431 composed of a plurality of LEDs, one or both of a fixed LED and a movable LED may be provided. In this way, when the LED is movable, the variation of the production by the combination with the PM image is further expanded, and the fun of the game is enhanced.

When the LED is movable as described above, the LED may be moved in any direction such as a vertical direction or a horizontal direction when viewed from the player, and the relative position itself does not change, and the LED is displayed on the spot. The effect may be diversified by changing the projection angle of the light with respect to the screen sheet 391b (see FIG. 93) and changing the appearance of the light so that the angle of the light can be changed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the light guide member is not arranged up to the screen sheet 391b (see FIG. 93), but a translucent light guide member is arranged and the light projected from the triple LED 431 is arranged. The traveling direction of the light may be changed. In this case, the light guide member may be provided separately from the triple LED 431, or an attached diffusion lens in which a diffusion lens is integrated with the triple LED 431 may be adopted to save space. ..

It should be noted that during the game or non-game (during the demo display screen, etc.), the player can use the effect LED, the display screen (including the screen such as the liquid crystal display in addition to the projection method as in the present embodiment), etc. In the case of a game machine having a brightness adjustment function that can adjust the brightness, the brightness of the above-mentioned floodlight LED (triple LED431) is affected 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.

Further, even if the light projecting LED (triple LED 431) emits light with the brightness linked to the brightness set by the brightness adjustment function, if there is no problem in terms of production, it may be affected.

The above-mentioned brightness adjustment function may be set only by the hall manager in the hall menu, or the hall manager can arbitrarily 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 by using the triple LED 431 and the projector device B2.

That is, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) executes a specific control pattern in which one or a plurality of specific LEDs at a predetermined position among the plurality of LEDs constituting the triple LED 431 emit light differently from 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 provided by the projector device B2. When the light is projected on the center screen 391 (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 emitting mode in which one or a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter referred to as specific LEDs) at a predetermined position among a plurality of LEDs can be distinguished from other LEDs, and the specific control pattern is sequentially switched. It is possible to produce a light emitting effect that makes the player feel the change in the light emitting mode.

Specifically, the patterns shown in the following (a) to (e) can be mentioned.
(A) Light emission pattern of the specific LED with higher brightness than other LEDs (b) Light emission pattern of the specific LED with lower brightness (including extinguishing) than other LEDs (c) Light emission color of the specific LED Light emission pattern different from the light emission color of other LEDs (d) Specific LED is on or blinking, other LED is off Light emission pattern (e) Specific LED is off, other LED is on or Flashing light emission pattern

Among the above emission patterns, a pattern in which any plurality of them are combined may be used. For example, the specific LED is the left LED 431L, the left LED 431L blinks and emits light with high brightness and red, and the middle LED 431C and the right LED 431R, which are other LEDs, illuminate and emit light with blue and low brightness.

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

In this way, by changing the position of the LED controlled as the specific LED, it is possible to enhance the interest by the effect of changing the light traveling in a predetermined direction.

For example, the following specific control pattern can be mentioned as a case where the specific LED blinks.

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

In this case, by sequentially switching the specific control pattern 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) advances from left to right. The light emitting 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 mode accompanied by a change in the PM image.

The control mode of the specific LED does not have to be the same in the first specific control pattern, the second specific control pattern, and the third specific control pattern, and the mode in which the player can feel the movement of light, that is, another mode. The control pattern may be changed on the way as long as it has a characteristic light emission mode as compared with 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 color in the third specific control pattern, and the other LEDs are the first specific control pattern and the second. The specific control pattern and the third specific control pattern may be appropriately switched in a light emission mode distinguishable from the specific LED such as extinguishing or low-intensity white light emission.

It is possible to enhance the interest of the game by performing the suggestion and notification of the internal winning combination, the suggestion and notification of the advantageous game state or its precursor state, the suggestion and notification of the game state and the set value, etc. with these various light emitting effects. .. By performing such a novel effect in the state of waiting for the player (standby state), it is possible to attract the attention of the players in the game hall and promote the operation of the game machine.

Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the center screen 391 for projecting the PM image can be irradiated with light from the rear by the triple LED 431 has been described, but the LED 199A described in the first embodiment for the configuration has been described. The configuration of the light guide panel capable of irradiating with light may be combined. In this case, as in the light guide panel 198 of the first embodiment, the center screen 391 is formed with irregularities so that the pattern emerges, and the LED for irradiating the inside of the center screen 391 with light and the center screen 391. An LED (triple LED 431) that irradiates light from the rear may be provided in the screen, and these LEDs may be used properly according to the situation. This makes it possible to increase the production variation.

As described above, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the triple LED 431 capable of irradiating the screen sheet 391b on which the light projected by the projector device B2 is projected has the screen sheet from the projector device B2. Since it is arranged at a position that does not block the light path toward 391b and 392b, the projector device B2 projects an image on the screen sheets 391b and 392b, and the triple LED 431 illuminates the screen sheet 391b. Can be done. As a result, it is possible to perform a novel and various production using the projector device B2, and it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, among the plurality of LEDs constituting the triple LED 431, when the sub-control board 72 is projected with light onto the screen sheets 391b and 392b by the projector device B2. Since the light emission mode is controlled so that the LED in a light emitting state having a higher brightness than other LEDs is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction, the area that looks bright in the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is left and right. It is possible to perform an effect that changes sequentially in one direction. As a result, it is possible to perform a novel and various production using the projector device B2, and it is possible to improve the fun of the game.

Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the triple LED 431 is located above the center of the screen sheet 391b in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the player looks down at the screen sheet 391b from above, the triple LED 431 The effect of the light is small and the image projected on the screen sheet 391b by the projector device B2 can be clearly seen. When the player looks up at the screen sheet 391b from below, the influence of the light of the triple LED 431 is large and the projector device B2. This has the effect of making the image projected on the screen sheet 391b look bright. Therefore, the display mode of the screen sheet 391b can be changed depending on the viewing angle of the player.

Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the light is projected from below the center of the screen sheet 391b in the vertical direction to the screen sheet 391b arranged above the optical mirror 174, so that the player On the other hand, the light emitted from the screen sheet 391b by the light emitting unit can be visually recognized while the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is visually recognized by the projector device B2.

Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the sub-control board 72 changes the light emitting mode of the triple LED 431 when the light is projected on the screen sheet 391b by the projector device B2, the projector device B2 Since the visibility of the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is changed by the above, various display modes can be realized by combining the light emitting 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 in a state where an image having a very low brightness is projected on the screen sheet 391b by the projector device B2, the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is momentarily displayed at the timing when the triple LED 431 is turned on. It is possible to produce an effect such as making it look clear.
