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 image to be projected, 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.

Under the control of the DLP control circuit 883, the light reflected in the predetermined direction by the DMD travels to the lens unit, passes through the projection lens, and is incident on the mirror mechanism B3, and finally the mirror mechanism B3 (FIG. 5). It is guided to the projection target by reflecting at (see). As a result, the irradiation light is projected onto the screen or the accessory to be projected, and an image corresponding to the effect is formed.

In the present embodiment, the projector device B2 is configured as a so-called DLP projector. Further, the projector device B2 gains a projection distance to the projection target by folding back the irradiation light by the mirror mechanism B3, and makes the projection distance of the irradiation light as short as possible by, for example, setting the contrast ratio to 1000: 1. ing. As a result, the display unit A provided with the projector device B2 is configured to be cheaper and smaller, and is easily mounted in the limited space in the cabinet G of the gaming machine 1.

The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other, and have a shape that can be fitted in the adjacent portion. The fourth structure 1054 is arranged on the back side of the speaker storage portion UD110d of the upper frame UD110, and a speaker (not shown) is arranged on the back side of the speaker storage portion UD110d together with the fourth structure 1054.

The first structure 1051 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and is formed in a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a character shape). The second structure 1052 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and is formed in a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a flame). The third structure 1053 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and is formed in a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a chain). The fourth structure 1054 is formed of a translucent material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and is formed in a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a chain).

The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are transmissive screens displayed by projecting a projected image from the rear, and like the screen sheet 1046, the incident on the back side where the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident. It has a surface and a display surface on the front side on which a projected image is projected by transmitting light incident on the incident surface. The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are formed of, for example, a transparent glass plate, an acrylic plate, and a resin film as main materials so as to have an even thickness over the entire surface, and are milky white and semi-white when not projected. It is transparent or has a gray color.

When the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the incident surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057, the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the display surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057. , Images related to the game (still images and moving images) are displayed.

Here, the third structure 1053 has a configuration in which a half mirror (magic mirror) is formed on the front surface side thereof. The half mirror can be formed by pasting a semi-transmissive film sheet on the surface of a substrate or by depositing a metal film on a metal film 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, a black plating process. It will look like a part with a split. As the object existing around the third structure 1053, for example, a structure having a shape imitating a chain as shown in FIG. 39 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 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. 39, 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.

As described with reference to FIG. 46, the side surface portion 1045c of the translucent plate 1045 is not covered by the screen sheet 1046, and the image is not displayed in the portion (the shaded portion in FIG. 46), so that the image stands out. It is possible to give such an impression to the player. In the present embodiment, the portion where the image is displayed and the image are due to the fact that the light of the LED 1061a is emitted from the portion where such an image is not displayed (along the side surface portion 1045c of the translucent plate 1045). It is possible to emphasize the boundary with the invisible part and give the player the impression that the image is embossed more prominently.

And the left mounting portion G120f formed by bending the front end of the main surface G120a upward and backward between the right mounting portion G120e formed by bending backward and the front end central portion G120b and the front end left side portion G120d. And a rear side portion G120g formed by bending the rear portions of both the left end and the right end of the main surface G120a downward.

The front end right side portion G120c and the front end left side portion G120d are formed behind the front end central portion G120b, and the heights of the front end central portion G120b, the front end right side portion G120c, and the front end left side portion G120d are substantially the same. Further, the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f are formed behind the front end right portion G120c and the front end left portion G120d, respectively, and the heights of the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f are set. , The heights thereof are higher than the heights of the central portion G120b at the front end, the right portion G120c at the front end, and the left portion G120d at the front end. Further, the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f have horizontally arranged surfaces.

A screw hole G120h is formed in the rear side portion G120g, and the front side projecting member G120 is attached to the side wall G2 of the cabinet G from the inside by a screw inserted through the screw hole G120h. As shown in FIGS. 53 and 54, the front protruding member G120 is fixed to the cabinet G so that the front portion of the main surface UD120a (front end central portion G120b, front end right portion G120c, front end left portion G120d, right). The mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f) project forward from the cabinet G.

On the other hand, on the inner surface of the side wall G2 of the cabinet G, an inner surface side projecting member G2a (for example, a screw screwed into the inner surface of the side wall G2) is provided so as to project inward. The notch UD120b is hooked on the inner surface side projecting member G2a. As a result, the hooking portion UD120 is locked to the cabinet G.

As shown in FIG. 55, the lower frame UD100 includes a lower side surface UD100h as a surface facing the bottom plate UD100a (see FIG. 43). A plurality of downward projecting portions UD100i are formed on the lower side surface UD100h. The downward projecting portion UD100i has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and extends from the rear end of the lower side surface UD100h toward the front. A screw hole UD100e (see FIG. 43) is formed at the rear end of the downward protrusion UD100i.

As shown in FIG. 56, the lower door mechanism DD includes an upper plate DD100 horizontally arranged horizontally in the upper portion thereof. As shown in FIG. 57, in a state where the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD are closed with respect to the cabinet G, the rear end edge DD100a of the upper plate DD100 is a downward projecting portion UD100i formed on the lower frame UD100. It is in close proximity (substantially in contact) with the front end.

Since the upper door mechanism UD and the lower door mechanism DD are configured as described above, when attaching the upper door mechanism UD to the cabinet G (closing the upper door mechanism UD with respect to the cabinet G), first, the upper frame While mounting the lower side surface of the upper wall of the UD 110 on the upper surfaces of the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f of the front surface side projecting member G120, the notch UD120b of the hooking portion UD120 is hooked on the inner surface side projecting member G2a. By closing the lower door mechanism DD with respect to the cabinet G in this state, the rear end edge DD100a of the upper plate DD100 of the lower door mechanism DD hits the lower protruding portion UD100i of the lower frame UD100, and the upper door mechanism UD is pushed backward. Will be. As a result, the upper door mechanism UD is also closed with respect to the cabinet G.

In the present embodiment, since the upper door mechanism UD can be closed as described above, the upper door mechanism UD is not provided with a hinge for connecting to the cabinet G. When a hinge is provided, the range in which an image can be displayed is limited on the side portion of the gaming machine. However, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the amount of the hinge does not exist. A wide range in the upper door mechanism UD can be secured as an image display area. Specifically, the range up to the rear end of the screen sheet 1046 (the rear end of the curved portion 1045b on both the left and right sides of the transmissive plate 1045) is included in the irradiation range of the light projected from the projector 9020 in the left-right direction. Will be possible. This makes it possible to produce a powerful effect with a large screen.

Further, three screens, a screen sheet 1046, a screen sheet 1056, and a screen sheet 1057, are provided. If information indicating an image displayed on each screen is included in one image data, the one image data is provided. Images can be displayed on each of the three screens by using.

In the state where the upper door mechanism UD is closed as described above, a slight gap is formed between the upper door mechanism UD and the cabinet G (see FIG. 54), but foreign matter enters through the gap. Even in the case where the foreign matter is present, the presence of the front-side protruding member G120 can prevent the foreign matter from invading the inside of the cabinet G.

(Third embodiment)
58 to 65 are views showing a gaming machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 58, the upper door mechanism UD2 of the present embodiment differs from the upper door mechanism UD of the first embodiment in the configuration of the upper frame portion 385 of the front panel 380. Since the configurations other than the upper frame portion 385 are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, the description of the present embodiment will be omitted. Further, in the upper frame portion 385 of the present embodiment, the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

The upper frame portion 385 of the present embodiment includes a front wall 385A, side walls 385B and 385C formed on both sides of the front wall 385A in the left-right direction, an upper wall 385D extending rearward from the upper end of the front wall 385A, and a rear wall. It has an upper frame (not shown) of the back panel constituting the above.

As shown in FIGS. 58 and 59, the upper frame portion 385 is provided with a sub-screen mechanism 390. The sub-screen mechanism 390 includes a center screen 391, a pair of side screens 392, a decorative member 393, and a lamp portion 394. The sub-screen mechanism 390 is attached to the back surface of the front wall 385A of the upper frame portion 385.

The center screen 391 includes a spherically formed center lens 391a and a screen sheet 391b superimposed on the back surface of the center lens 391a. The pair of side screens 392 includes a side lens 392a and a screen sheet 392b superimposed on the back surface of the side lens 392a. The center lens 391a and the side lens 392a each have translucency.

The center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392 are transmissive screens that are displayed by projecting an image from the rear, and are incident on the incident surface on the back side where the light projected from the projector device B2 is incident. It has a display surface on the front side on which a projected image is projected by transmitting light incident on the surface.

The screen sheets 391b and 392b are formed of, for example, a transparent glass plate, an acrylic plate, and a resin film as main materials so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface, and are milky white and translucent when not projected. Alternatively, it exhibits a gray color. The light projected from the projector device B2 is projected onto the screen sheets 391b and 392b from the rear. The light projected from the projector device B2 may be projected from the rear onto the center lens 391a and the side lens 392a. The screen sheets 391b and 392b of the present embodiment constitute a projected portion according to the present invention.

The decorative portion 393 is provided on the front surface side of the center lens 391a and is provided so as to form a predetermined gap between the decorative portion 393 and the center lens 391a. The decorative portion 393 is made of a resin member such as black.

The lamp portion 394 is formed in a spherical shape having an opening at the rear, and for example, the main material is a translucent glass plate, an acrylic plate, or a resin film, so that the lamp portion 394 has a uniform thickness over the entire surface. It is formed.

Further, the upper frame portion 385 is provided with a first reflex member 400, a second reflex member 410, a light guide lens 420, a lens member 421, and an LED substrate 430 behind the subscreen mechanism 390. Has been done.

As shown in FIGS. 62 and 63, the first reflex member 400 includes a curved shape portion 400a recessed rearward, and a front end portion 400b of the curved shape portion 400a projects in the left-right direction. The front end 400b is located behind the decorative member 393.

The curved shape portion 400a is formed so that recesses 400c recessed rearward are arranged at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction. Three recesses 400c are formed corresponding to each of the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R, which will be described later, and are formed so as to reduce their diameters toward the rear.

The rear end of the recess 400c is open to the rear, and through this opening, each of the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R can irradiate light forward. Therefore, the light emitted by each of the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R is less likely to interfere with each other, and when the irradiation light of each LED is applied to the center lens 391, they can be distinguished from each other. ..

The second reflex member 410 is provided behind the first reflex member 400, and holds the light guide lens 420 in the front and the lens member 421 in the rear. As shown in FIG. 63, the second reflex member 410 is installed so as to form a gap in the front-rear direction with the first reflex member 400. The light guide lens 420 is arranged in this gap.

Both the first reflex member 400 and the second reflex member 410 are made of a non-transmissive resin member or the like that does not allow light to pass through. Therefore, the light passing through the light guide lens 420 arranged between the first reflex member 400 and the second reflex member 410 (light emitted from the LED 432 described later) is inside the center screen 391 (first). The space surrounded by the curved shape portion 400a of the reflex member 400 and the back surface of the center screen 391) and the rear side of the second reflex member 410 are prevented from leaking. This makes it possible to prevent the light passing through the light guide lens 420 from affecting the image projected on the center screen 391 and the image projected on the main screen 182.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 63 and 64, a gap is formed between the front end portion 400b of the first reflex member 400 and the front end portion 410b of the second reflex member 410, and this gap is formed. Therefore, the light guided by the light guide lens 420 is emitted forward. Further, the above-mentioned gap is located behind the decorative member 393. Therefore, the light emitted forward from the above-mentioned gap is visually recognized by the player as indirect light emitted behind the decorative member 393.

As shown in FIG. 64, the light guide lens 420 has a gap between the rear end surface 420a facing the LED 432 and the front end portion 400b of the first reflex member 400 and the front end portion 410b of the second reflex member 410. It has a front end face 420b located at.

The light emitted from the LED 432 is incident on the rear end surface 420a of the light guide lens 420. From the front end surface 420b of the light guide lens 420, light incident from the rear end surface 420a and guided forward in the light guide lens 420 is emitted.

As shown in FIG. 61, the lens member 421 is formed with a columnar cylindrical light guide portion 421a projecting forward. The cylindrical light guide portion 421a is provided so as to be located in front of the LED 435 described later. Therefore, the cylindrical light guide unit 421a is irradiated with light from the LED 435, and the light emitted from the LED 435 is guided forward. The front end portion of the cylindrical light guide portion 421a is located on the inner rear side of the lamp portion 394. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED 435 is guided in the cylindrical light guide unit 421a so as not to interfere with the light of the projector device B2 projected on the lower center screen 391. Further, since the front end portion of the cylindrical light guide portion 421a is located on the inner rear side of the lamp portion 394, when the LED 435 emits light, is there a light source near the back surface of the lamp portion 394 for the player? Can give an impression like.

As shown in FIG. 59, the LED substrate 430 has a left LED 431L, a middle LED 431C, and a right LED 431R (hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as a triplet) arranged side by side at predetermined intervals along a left-right direction as a predetermined direction. It is configured to include (referred to as LED 431), two LEDs 432 provided on the left and right above the triple LED 431, and one LED 435 provided above the LED 432.

The triple LED 431 irradiates the back side of the center screen 391 with light. The LED 432 irradiates light toward the light guide lens 420. The LED 435 irradiates light toward the cylindrical light guide portion 421a. The triple LED 431 of the present embodiment constitutes a light emitting unit according to the present invention.

In this embodiment, the LED substrate 430 is included in the LED substrate 82 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the triple LED 431, LED 432 and LED 435 are included in the LED group 75 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment constitutes a light emission control means.

As shown in FIG. 60, the light projected by the projector device B2 reaches the screen sheets 391b and 392b (see FIG. 61) from the back side of the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392.

Here, the LED substrate 430 is provided at a position that does not block the optical path (indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure) of light projected from the projector device B2 and reflected by the optical mirror 174 toward the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392. Has been done.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 61, the triple LED 431 provided on the LED substrate 430 is projected from the projector device B2 and reflected by the optical mirror 174 to direct the light toward the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392. It is installed at a position that does not block the optical path (indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure). Further, the range (irradiation area) of the light path (indicated by the dotted line in the figure) irradiated by the triple LED 431 and the optical path of the light projected from the projector device B2 and reflected by the optical mirror 174 toward the center screen 391 (FIG. (Indicated by the alternate long and short dash line).

Further, the triple LED 431 is located above the center of the screen sheet 391b of the center screen 391 in the vertical direction. Further, the screen sheet 391b of the center screen 391 is arranged above the optical mirror 174 (see FIG. 60) so that light is projected from below the center in the vertical direction of the screen sheet 391b.

(Light emission mode of triple LED and image mode projected on screen sheet)
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. 65, 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. 65, 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. 65 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. 61) 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. 61), 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 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-luminance white light emission.
