The spaces are connected by intermediate communication surfaces 51C, 51E, 54C, and 54E that are inclined toward the outside of the fan.

The second and third fan dividing members 52 and 53, like the first and fourth fan dividing members 51 and 54, have central plane portions 52A and 53A near the center of the fan. Further, the areas outward from the central plane portions 52A, 53A of the second and third fan-dividing members 52, 53 are slightly forward, with radial bending lines 52R, 53R extending in the radial direction at the center of the circular arc direction as valleys. broken. Among the second and third fan dividing members 52 and 53, the upper side in FIG. 11 from the radial bending lines 52R and 53R is taken as upper dividing surface 52B and 53B, and the lower side is taken as lower dividing surface 52D and 53D.

The upper dividing surfaces 52B, 53B of the second and third fan dividing members 52, 53 are divided into three in the radial direction, similar to the upper dividing surfaces 51B, 54B of the first and fourth fan dividing members 51, 54. It has inner dividing surfaces 52B1, 53B1, intermediate dividing surfaces 52B2, 53B2, and outer dividing surfaces 52B3, 53B3. The dividing surfaces 52B3 and 53B3 are connected by intermediate communication surfaces 52C and 53C, respectively, which are inclined so as to face the outside of the fan.

The lower dividing surfaces 52D, 53D of the second and third fan dividing members 52, 53 are divided into two in the radial direction, with inner dividing surfaces 52D1, 53D1 and outer dividing surfaces 52D2 tilted toward the center of the fan. , 53D2. The radial size of the outer dividing surfaces 52D2 and 53D2 is about 2 to 4 times the radial size of the inner dividing surfaces 52D1 and 53D1. Moreover, between the central plane parts 52A, 53A and the inner dividing surfaces 52D1, 53D1, and between the inner dividing surfaces 52D1, 53D1 and the outer dividing surfaces 52D2, 53D2, there are intermediate portions that are inclined toward the outside of the fan. Communication is made through communication surfaces 52E and 53E.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the second and third fan dividing members 52 and 53 are arranged rearward than the first and fourth fan dividing members 51 and 54. As shown in FIGS. As described above, in the first to fourth fan dividing members 51 to 54, the second and third fan dividing members 52 and 53 are normally connected to the first and fourth fan dividing members 51 and 54, respectively. They are overlapped at the rear and are covered from the front by the circular decorative body 40 and the strip decorative body 41, and are in a standby state where they are not visible. For example, when the "fan accessory performance" is started, the first and fourth fan dividing members 51 and 54 rotate downward by 45 to 60 degrees, and the second and third fan dividing members 52 , 53 are rotated downward by 90 to 100 degrees, and the lower ends of the second and third fan-dividing members 52 and 53 come into contact (or come close to each other). As a result, the fan-shaped decorative body 50 is expanded into a fan shape and becomes visible from the front. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 12, when the first to fourth sector dividing members 51 to 54 are unfolded, the fan-shaped decorative body 50 has a shape that is half of a mortar that is concave toward the rear. ing.

The entire surface of the fan-shaped decorative body 50 is a silver mirror surface. As a result, the surface of the fan-shaped decorative body 50 in the unfolded state has a configuration in which a plurality of mirror surfaces divided by bends and steps are arranged in a concave shape concave toward the rear.

As shown in FIG. 8, a versatile lighter 45 is disposed in front of the fan-shaped decorative body 50. As shown in FIG. The versatile writer 45 has a shape that is a combination of a circle and a cross, and a band plate part 47 extends from a disk part 46 in all directions. As shown in FIG. 13, the versatile writer 45 includes a light emitting board 45B, which includes a plurality of light emitting elements 45A that emit light backward, housed in a case 45C. The light emitting board 45B has a shape that is slightly smaller than the versatile writer 45, and the plurality of light emitting elements 45A are arranged on a straight line extending in the extending direction of the strip plate portion 47. Of the cases 45C, a front case 45C1 disposed in front of the light emitting board 45B is, for example, black, and a rear case 45C2 disposed behind the light emitting board 45B is transparent. Further, the rear surface of the light emitting board 45B (the surface on which the light emitting element 45A is mounted) is black.

The versatile writer 45 is rotatable around a rotation axis 45J (see FIG. 9) passing through the center of the disc portion 46, and rotates while emitting light from the light emitting element 45A. Furthermore, by controlling the rotational speed and the light emission of each light emitting element 45A, the versatile writer 45 can display arbitrary characters, pictures, etc. using the afterimage of the light emission of the light emitting element 45A.

As shown in FIG. 4, although a portion of the band plate portion 47 of the versatile lighter 45 protrudes laterally from the circular decorative body 40, the majority of the versatile lighter 45 is covered from the front by the circular decorative body 40.

The versatile lighter 45 is rotated by a slip ring that transmits power and signals via a metal ring and a plurality of brushes, but the connection between the rotating shaft 45J of the versatile lighter 45 and the metal ring is made so that no gap is created. It is stuffed. This makes it difficult for the versatile writer 45 to become eccentric, and the occurrence of a problem in which some of the brushes are worn out due to eccentricity and the light flickers can be suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the fan-shaped decorative body 50 moves downward as the first to fourth fan-divided members 51 to 54 are expanded and forms the forehead of the character's face X. do. In addition to the fan-shaped decorative body 50, the character's face It is composed of and.

Next, the upper decorative body 60 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 7, the upper decorative body 60 is normally placed at standby positions on both sides of the center of the right cheek 72 in the height direction. The upper decorative body 60 in the standby position is inclined by about 10 to 20 degrees from the vertical direction, and extends downward toward the inner side in the left-right direction. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 14, one end of a first arm 66 is fixed to the upper end of the upper decorative body 60. As shown in FIGS. The other end of the first arm 66 is pivotally supported on the upper side of the right cheek section 72 . Further, one end of a second arm 67 is pivotally supported at a position near one end of the first arm 66 . The other end of the second arm 67 is pivotally supported by a lower movable base 80 that moves up and down relative to the right cheek portion 72 . As shown in FIG. 7, the lower movable base 80 bridges a lower shaft 93 extending from the lower end of the right cheek part 72 to a length of about 1/2 of the height of the right cheek part 72.

When the lower movable base 80 moves upward, the second arm 67 pushes up one end of the first arm 66, and the upper decorative body 60 rotates upward and inward in the left-right direction around the other end of the first arm 66. It is arranged at a presentation position tilted by about 20 to 30 degrees from the horizontal direction (see FIGS. 6 and 14(B)).

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 14(B), each upper decorative body 60 has a shape that resembles raised eyebrows and eyes. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, in the presentation position, each upper decoration body 60 is curved or curved so that it goes forward as it goes upward from the eye part (lower center) and goes forward as it goes to both sides. It's bent. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper end portion of the upper decoration body 60 overlaps the outer edge portion of the fan-shaped decoration body 50 from the front.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 16, a lower decorative body 70 is fixed to the lower movable base 80. As described above, the lower decorative body 70 is formed by imitating the part of the character's face X below the eyes. The lower decoration body 70 is divided into left and right parts, a left cheek part 71 (located on the right side when viewed from the front) and a right cheek part 72 (located on the left side when viewed from the front), which are divided into left and right cheek parts 71 (located on the left side when viewed from the front), which are divided into left and right cheek parts 71 (located on the left side when viewed from the front), which are divided into left and right cheek parts 71 (located on the left side when viewed from the front), which are divided into left and right cheek parts 71 (located on the right side when viewed from the front). The entire structure is curved as if it were caved in. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, the lower decorative body 70 has a ridgeline portion 73 disposed furthest forward in the center in the left-right direction (border portion between the left cheek portion 71 and the right cheek portion 72). have The surface of the lower decorative body 70 extends from the ridgeline 73 sideways and backward while being curved.

The upper part of the lower decorative body 70 curves backward halfway from the ridgeline part 73 and then curves forward. In the upper part of the lower decorative body 70, the ridgeline portion 73 is located forward of both side end portions of the lower decorative body 70. Further, the rearmost portions of the left cheek section 71 and right cheek section 72 of the lower decoration body 70 are located outside the center of the left cheek section 71 and right cheek section 72 in the left-right direction. Thereby, the left cheek part 71 and the right cheek part 72 of the lower decorative body 70 are slightly turned outward as a whole.

In the lower decorative body 70, the ridgeline portion 73 is inclined toward the front as it advances upward. Further, the left cheek part 71 and the right cheek part 72 of the lower decorative body 70 are also inclined forward as they move upward (see FIGS. 18 and 19), but the inclination is greater than the inclination of the ridgeline part 73. is also smaller. In other words, the drop when moving from the ridgeline portion 73 to the side is larger at the top than at the bottom.

Further, the vertical inclination of the left cheek part 71 and the right cheek part 72 of the lower decoration body 70 is smaller than the slope of the upper decoration body 60 in the vertical direction. As a result, when the upper decoration body 60 and the lower decoration body 70 are arranged vertically, the upper ends of the left cheek part 71 and the right cheek part 72 of the lower decoration body 70 form a concave left face part 75 and a face right part. 76 are arranged on the left and right (see FIGS. 16 and 18).

As shown in FIG. 6, the upper decorative body 60 and the lower decorative body 70 have a pattern in which silver specular parts 60M, 70M and black colored parts 60C, 70C are mixed together. In other words, the surfaces of the upper decorative body 60 and the lower decorative body 70 are divided into a plurality of mirrored parts 60M and 70M by the black colored parts 60C and 70C.

As shown in FIG. 20, versatile writers 34 and 37 are disposed on the back side of the lower decorative portion 33 at both left and right ends, respectively. Similar to the versatile lighter 45 on the back side of the circular decorative body 40, these versatile lighters 34, 37 also have a shape in which band plate portions 36, 39 protrude in all directions from the disk portions 35, 38, and light emitting elements are housed in the cases 34C, 37C. It has a built-in light-emitting substrate (not shown) having a plurality of . Hereinafter, when the three versatile writers 34, 37, and 45 are to be distinguished, they will be referred to as the right versatile writer 34, the left versatile writer 37, and the upper versatile writer 45.

Similarly to the upper versatile writer 45, the light emitting boards of the right versatile writer 34 and the left versatile writer 37 are provided with light emitting elements on their rear surfaces so as to emit light rearward, and the rear surfaces are black. Further, as shown in FIGS. 18, 19, and 21, the right versatile writer 34 and the left versatile writer 37 are arranged such that their upper portions are located at approximately the same height as the lower ends of the left cheek portion 71 and the right cheek portion 72. and are inclined so as to face upwardly inward in the left-right direction, that is, so that at least a portion thereof faces the recesses of the mortar of the left face part 75 and the right face part 76.

Next, we will explain in detail the operation of the ``fan role performance.'' When the "fan accessory effect" is started, the first to fourth fan division members 51 to 54 of the fan-shaped decorative body 50 rotate as described above, and the fan-shaped decorative body 50 becomes in an expanded state (see FIG. 5). ), the upper versatile lighter 45 rotates while emitting light. Then, the light emitted from the upper versatile lighter 45 is reflected on the mirror surface constituting the surface of the fan-shaped decorative body 50, and the mirror image becomes visible from the front. At this time, since the surface of the fan-shaped decorative body 50 is composed of a plurality of mirror surfaces divided by bends and steps, a plurality of mirror images of the upper versatile lighter 45 are visually recognized.

Further, when the versatile writer 45 is controlled to display arbitrary characters, pictures, etc., the characters, pictures, etc. are reflected on the plurality of mirror surfaces. At this time, since the outer dividing surfaces 52D2, 53D2 of the lower dividing surfaces 52D, 53D of the second and third fan dividing members 52, 53 are relatively large flat surfaces, these lower dividing surfaces 52D, 53D It becomes relatively easy to see characters, pictures, etc. reflected in the screen from the front.

Next, we will explain in detail the operation of the ``face role effect''. When the "face accessory effect" is started, the movable base 44 moves downward while the fan-shaped decorative body 50 is in an expanded state. Further, the lower movable base 80 moves upward. As a result, the upper decorative body 60 moves to the presentation position, and the lower decorative body 70 moves upward, and the fan-shaped decorative body 50, the upper decorative body 60, and the lower decorative body 70 constitute the character's face X. Then, the versatile lighters 34, 37, and 45 rotate while emitting light, and the light is reflected on the left face part 75, the right face part 76, and the fan-shaped decorative body 50, respectively, and their mirror images become visible from the front.

At this time, the surface of the fan-shaped decorative body 50 is made up of a plurality of mirrored parts divided by bends or steps, and the upper decorative body 60 and the lower decorative body 70 are divided into a plurality of mirrored parts 60M by black colored parts 60C and 70C. , 70M, a plurality of mirror images of one versatile writer 34, 37, 45 are visually recognized. In addition, the lower decoration body 70 has a ridgeline part 73 located at the most forward position in the center part in the left-right direction, and the left cheek part 71 and the right cheek part 72 are slightly facing outward, so that the gaming machine 10 The player sitting in front of the player is difficult to be reflected in the mirror surface 70M of the lower decorative body 70.

The configuration of the gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is as described above. Next, the effects of the gaming machine 10 will be explained. As described above, in the gaming machine 10, a fan accessory performance and a face accessory performance are performed depending on the progress of the game. Here, in the fan accessory performance and the face accessory performance, the light emitted backward from the versatile lights 34, 37, and 45 is transmitted to the fan-shaped decorative body 50, the upper decoration body 60, and the lower decoration body 70 (in the fan-shaped decoration body Since it is visible from the front by being reflected in the decorative body 50 (only the decorative body 50), conventional game machines that include a decorative body in which light is emitted forward from a light-emitting element or a decorative body that receives light from a light-emitting element on the side are not available. , it is possible to provide an innovative light emission effect.

Further, the surface of the fan-shaped decorative body 50 is divided into a plurality of mirror surfaces by stepped portions and bends, and the upper decorative body 60 and the lower decorative body 70 are divided into a plurality of mirror surfaces 60M and 70M by colored portions 60C and 70C. Therefore, the light from one light emitting element is reflected on a plurality of mirror surfaces (mirror surfaces), making the light emitting effect more noticeable and improving the taste. Furthermore, the colored parts 60C and 70C of the upper decorative body 60 and the lower decorative body 70 are black, and the light emitting substrates of the left and right versatile writers 34 and 37 are also black, so when the light emitting elements are not emitting light, the light emitting substrates are the mirror surface parts 60M, Even if it is reflected in 70M, it will line up with the colored parts 60C and 70C of the same color, making it difficult to stand out. Moreover, since the light emitting board is black, it looks like a shadow to some players, making it less noticeable.

Furthermore, since most of the versatile lighters 34, 37, and 45 are covered from the front by the lower decorative portion 33 and the circular decorative body 40, the appearance of the versatile lighters 34, 37, and 45 is lower than when the versatile lighters 34, 37, and 45 are directly visible from the front. improves. Moreover, it is possible to provide a novel way of displaying decoration (in this embodiment, light emission) in which something that is not directly visible (or difficult to see) from the front is made visible by reflecting it on a mirror surface. Furthermore, since the lower decoration part 33 and the circular decoration body 40 are equipped with light emitting elements that emit light forward, it is possible to show the player the difference between emitting light directly to the front and reflecting the light on a mirror surface. I can do it.

Further, the left face part 75, the right face part 76, and the fan-shaped decorative body 50 are each shaped like a mortar, making it easier for light to be reflected on the whole, making the effect more noticeable and improving the taste. Furthermore, the character's face X is made up of three mortars, and the decoration has a sense of unity compared to a case where a plurality of mortars are simply lined up, and the taste of the presentation is improved.
