FIG. 46 shows a state in which the light transmitting plate 1045, the screen sheet 1046, and the lower frame UD100 are assembled.

  As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the screen unit 1040 includes a light transmitting plate 1045 and a screen sheet 1046.

  The light-transmitting plate 1045 is mainly made of a resin such as an acrylic plate having a light-transmitting property, a glass plate, or the like, and is formed to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface. The light transmitting plate 1045 includes a flat portion 1045a located at the center, a curved portion 1045b continuously formed from both left and right side edges of the flat portion 1045a toward the rear, and a rearward portion from the rear end of the curved portion 1045b. And a side portion 1045c formed continuously. The plane portion 1045a and the side surface portion 1045c are formed in a planar shape, and their surfaces are substantially orthogonal to each other. The bending portion 1045b has a shape obtained by bending a flat plate.

  The screen sheet 1046 is a transmissive screen that is displayed by projecting a projected image from behind, and a rear incident surface on which light projected from the projector 9020 is incident, and a light incident on the incident surface is transmitted. And a front display surface on which a projection image is projected. The screen sheet 10 is formed so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface using a fat film as a main material, and exhibits a milky white color, a translucent color, or a gray color when not projected.

  The screen sheet 1046 includes a flat portion 1046a located at the center, and a curved portion 1046b continuously formed rearward from both left and right side edges of the flat portion 1046a. The flat portion 1046a is formed in a flat shape, and the bending portion 1046b has a shape obtained by bending a flat plate. The flat portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b of the screen sheet 1046 have substantially the same size and shape as the flat portion 1045a and the curved portion 1045b of the light transmitting plate 1045.

  The screen sheet 1046 is disposed on the back side of the light transmitting plate 1045. Specifically, the rear surface of the flat portion 1045a of the light transmitting plate 1045 and the front surface of the flat portion 1046a of the screen sheet 1046 are in close contact with each other, and the rear surface of the curved portion 1045b of the light transmitting plate 1045 is in close contact. 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 (the rear surface) of the screen sheet 1046, an image (such as a still image or a still image) related to a game is displayed on the display surface (the front surface) of the screen sheet 1046. (Moving image) is displayed. The light-transmitting plate 1045 is formed to be transparent, and there is no structure in front of the light-transmitting plate 1045 that blocks the player's view. Therefore, when an image is displayed on the screen sheet 1046, the image is displayed by the player. To be visible.

  Further, the screen sheet 1046 has a flat portion 1046a and a curved portion 1046b. Since the position in the depth direction is different between the flat portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b, an image is formed on both the flat portion 1046a and the curved portion 1046b. By displaying, it is possible to give a three-dimensional effect to the entire image displayed on the screen sheet 1046. In the light-transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046, the curved portion 1045b and the curved portion 1046b are formed by forming (forming in an open space), respectively. The deformation of the image can be suppressed as compared with.

  The light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 configured as described above are pressed by the lower frame UD100 and the upper frame UD110 in a state where the lower portion is pressed by the lower pressing member UD101 and the upper portion is pressed by the upper pressing member UD102. Supported.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 43, the lower frame UD100 is formed as a U-shaped member, and is provided with a horizontally disposed bottom plate UD100a and a projecting upward at the front end of the bottom plate UD100a. And a right side UD100c extending vertically at the right end of the bottom plate UD100a, and a left side UD100d extending vertically at the left end of the bottom plate UD100a. The translucent plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 are placed on the bottom plate UD100a in a state where the translucent plate 1045 is in contact with the bottom plate UD100a, the right side UD100c, and the left side UD100d. In this state, the lower part of the front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045 is in contact with the wall UD100b. The wall portion UD100b has a shape corresponding to the flat portion 1045a, the curved portion 1045b, and the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045 so that the entire lower front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045 can abut.

  As shown in FIG. 44, the lower pressing member UD101 is formed in a plate shape, and a front side surface (a pressing surface UD101a) has a curved shape with a flat portion corresponding to the screen sheet 1046. And a formed portion. With the translucent plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 being placed on the bottom plate UD100a of the lower frame UD100, the lower holding member UD101 is fixed to the lower frame UD100, so that the lower part of the screen sheet 1046 becomes the lower frame UD100. It is sandwiched between the wall UD100b and the light transmitting plate 1045, and the pressing surface UD101a of the lower pressing member UD101, and is pressed by the pressing surface UD101a. The lower holding member UD101 can be attached to the lower frame UD100 by screwing a screw through the screw insertion hole UD101b (see FIG. 43) into the screw hole UD100e of the lower frame UD100.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 45, the upper frame UD110 is formed as a member having a substantially rectangular outer shape when viewed from the front, and has a bottom surface UD110a extending in the left-right direction and a bottom surface UD110a extending downward from a front portion. And a protruding wall portion UD110b. In a state where the upper frame UD110 is fixed to the lower frame UD100, the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 have the upper edge of the light transmitting plate 1045 abutting against the bottom surface UD110a of the upper frame UD110, and the front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045. The upper part is positioned so as to contact the wall part UD110b of the upper frame UD110. The wall portion UD110b has a shape corresponding to the light transmitting plate 1045 so that the upper part of the front surface of the light transmitting plate 1045 can abut over a certain range.

  The front side surface (the pressing surface UD102a, see FIG. 44) of the upper pressing member UD102 has a portion formed in a planar shape and a portion formed in a curved shape corresponding to the screen sheet 1046. When the upper holding member UD102 has its upper surface in contact with the bottom surface UD110a of the upper frame UD110, a screw passing through the screw insertion hole UD102b (see FIG. 45) is screwed into a screw hole formed in the bottom surface UD110a of the upper frame UD110. It is attached to the upper frame UD110 by screwing it into the UD110c. Thus, the upper portion of the screen sheet 1046 is sandwiched between the wall portion UD110b and the light transmitting plate 1045 of the upper frame UD110 and the pressing surface UD102a of the upper pressing member UD102, and is pressed by the pressing surface UD102a.

  As described above, the lower portion of the screen sheet 1046 is pressed by the lower pressing member UD101, and the upper portion of the screen sheet 1046 is pressed by the upper pressing member UD102. The pressing surface UD101a of the lower pressing member UD101 and the pressing surface UD102a of the upper pressing member UD102 each have a curved portion corresponding to the shape of the screen sheet 1046. This makes it possible to make the screen sheet 1046 adhere to the light transmitting plate 1045 while suppressing the formation of a gap between the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 and the generation of wrinkles in the screen sheet 1046. Thus, it is possible to prevent the image visually recognized by the player from being disturbed.

  As shown in FIG. 46, when the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046 are in close contact with each other and viewed from the rear, the flat portion 1045 a and the curved portion 1045 b of the light transmitting plate 1045 become flat surface portions of the screen sheet 1046. While being covered by the 1046a and the curved portion 1046b, the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045 is in an exposed state without being covered by the screen sheet 1046.

  Although not shown, a cabinet G is arranged on the back side of the light transmitting plate 1045 and the screen sheet 1046. Therefore, there is a gap between the rear end of the screen sheet 1046 and the front end of the cabinet G (side wall G2) corresponding to at least the length in the front-rear direction of the side surface 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045. In FIG. 46, such gaps are indicated by oblique lines for simplicity.

  An image is displayed on a portion (the flat portion 1045a and the curved portion 1045b) of the light transmitting plate 1045 covered by the screen sheet 1046, while a portion of the light transmitting 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 hatched portion in FIG. 46). Thereby, it is possible to give the player the impression that the image is raised at a position separated from the front end of the cabinet G (the side wall G2) in the front direction, and realize various image expressions. be able to.

<Decoration unit 1050>
FIG. 47 is a perspective view of the upper frame, the first structure, the second structure, the third structure, the fourth structure, and the screen sheet as viewed from the rear.

  In FIG. 47, the first structure 1051, the second structure 1052, the third structure 1053, and the fourth structure 1054 show a state where they are assembled, and the upper frame UD110, the screen sheet 1056 , And the screen sheet 1057 show that they exist independently.

  As shown in FIG. 47, the decoration unit 1050 is adjacent to the first structure 1051 arranged at the center, the second structure 1052 arranged around the first structure 1051, and the second structure 1052. A third structure 1053, a fourth structure 1054 adjacent to the third structure 1053, and a screen sheet 1056 and a screen sheet 1057 disposed on the back side of these structures are provided.

  The first structure 1051, the second structure 1052, the third structure 1053, and the fourth structure 1054 are attached to the upper frame UD110 by screwing. The screen sheet 1056 is disposed on the back side of the first structure 1051 and the second structure 1052 while being pressed by the pressing member UD111. The screen sheet 1057 is arranged on the back side of the third structure 1053 while being pressed by the pressing member UD111. 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 housing UD110d of the upper frame UD110, and a speaker (not shown) is arranged on the back side of the speaker housing 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 has a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a flame). The third structure 1053 is formed of a translucent material (for example, an acrylic resin or the like) and has a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a chain). The fourth structure 1054 is formed of a light-transmissive material (for example, acrylic resin or the like) and has a predetermined three-dimensional shape (for example, a shape imitating a chain).

  The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are transmissive screens that are displayed by projecting a projection image from behind, and similarly to the screen sheet 1046, light incident on the rear side on which light projected from the projector 9020 enters. And a display surface on the front side on which a projection image is projected by transmitting light incident on the incident surface. The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are made of, for example, a translucent glass plate, an acrylic plate, or a resin film as a main material so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface. It has a transparent or gray color.

  When the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the incident surface (the rear surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057, the light is projected onto the display surface (the front surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057. , A game-related image (still image or moving image) is displayed.

  Here, the third structure 1053 has a configuration in which a half mirror (magic mirror) is formed on the front side. The half mirror can be formed by attaching a semi-transmissive film sheet to the surface of the substrate by a conventionally known method, or by depositing a metal film with a metal, and a part of incident light can be formed. It has the property of transmitting part while reflecting.

  By arranging such a half mirror on the front side of the screen sheet 1057, when no light is projected from the projector 9020, an object existing around the third structure 1053 is reflected, for example, black plating processing Will have the appearance of parts with As an object existing around the third structure 1053, for example, a structure imitating a chain as shown in FIG. 39 can be provided. Note that the structure having a shape imitating a chain may be provided near 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 being 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) flows and moves is displayed on the screen sheet 1057. This makes it possible to perform an effect as if the object that was stationary was moving when light was not projected from the projector 9020. As described above, according to the above configuration, an attractive effect can be created by both the modeled object and the image related to the modeled object.

  In addition, 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. Thereby, the light projected from the projector 9020 is diffused, and an attractive effect can be performed in combination with the modeled object arranged on the front side of the screen sheet 1056. For example, as shown in FIG. 39, when the first structure 1051 is formed in a character shape of “GOD”, an image corresponding to the character of “GOD” is displayed on the screen sheet 1056, and thereby “GOD” is displayed. Can be created as if the letters “Glittering” shine. The center of light projected from the projector 9020 (irradiation light emitted from near the optical axis of the projection lens) enters 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 a prism layer having a high light-condensing effect, it is possible to suppress a decrease in luminance of an image displayed on the screen sheet 1056. Note that, similarly to the screen sheet 1057, a half mirror may be provided on the front side of the screen sheet 1056.

Thus, in a state where the light guide member 1062 is attached to the lower frame UD100, the opening 1062d of the light guide member 1062 communicates with the opening UD100g of the lower frame UD100.

  As shown in FIG. 50, the inside of the light guide member 1062 is a reflector that changes the traveling direction of light emitted from the LED 1061a. The light emitted from the LED 1061a passes through the opening 1062a of the light guide member 1062, enters the inside of the light guide member 1062, changes its traveling direction from sideways to forward, and passes through the opening 1062d of the light guide member 1062. Are discharged forward from an opening UD100g of the right side UD100c (left side UD100d). The arrow in FIG. 50 indicates the traveling direction of the light emitted from the LED 1061a.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 50, the right side portion UD100c (the left side portion UD100d) of the lower frame UD100 is in contact with the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045. The rear end of the right side UD100c (left side UD100d) and the rear end of the side surface section 1045c have substantially the same position in the front and rear direction, and the length in the front and rear direction of the right side UD100c (left side UD100d) is It is shorter than the length of the portion 1045c in the front-rear direction. Although not shown, a cabinet G is arranged on the back side of the right side UD100c (left side UD100d) of the lower frame UD100. The front end of the cabinet G (side wall G2) is close to (substantially abuts) the rear end of the right side UD100c (left side UD100d), and the side wall G2 of the cabinet G and the right side UD100c (left side UD100d) They are positioned on substantially the same plane.

  The indirect lighting unit 1060 is disposed along the side surface 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045 so as to have the above-described positional relationship with peripheral members. Then, the light emitted from the LED 1061a is emitted forward along the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045. As described with reference to FIG. 46, the side surface portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045 is not covered with the screen sheet 1046, and no image is displayed in the corresponding portion (the hatched portion in FIG. 46), so that the image is raised. Such an impression can be given to the player. In this embodiment mode, the portion where the image is displayed and the image are not displayed because the light of the LED 1061a is emitted from the portion where the image is not displayed (along the side portion 1045c of the light transmitting plate 1045). By emphasizing the boundary with the non-displayed portion, it is possible to give the player a more remarkable impression that the image is raised.

Further, the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f are formed behind the front right side portion G120c and the front left side portion G120d, respectively. The height of the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f is These heights are higher than the height of the front end central portion G120b, front end right portion G120c, and front end left portion G120d. 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 G120g, and the front-side protruding member G120 is attached to the side wall G2 of the cabinet G from the inside with a screw inserted through the screw hole G120h. As shown in FIG. 53 and FIG. 54, by fixing the front-side protruding member G120 to the cabinet G, the front part (front end central part G120b, front end right part G120c, front end left part G120d, right part) of the main surface UD120a. The mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f) protrude 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 protruding member G2a (for example, a screw screwed into the inner surface of the side wall G2) is provided to protrude inward, and the hook portion UD120 is provided. Notch UD120b is hooked on the inner surface side protruding member G2a. As a result, the hook portion UD120 is locked to the cabinet G.

  As shown in FIG. 55, the lower frame UD100 includes a lower surface UD100h as a surface facing the lower side of the bottom plate UD100a (see FIG. 43). A plurality of downward projecting portions UD100i projecting downward are formed on the lower side surface UD100h.

  As shown in FIG. 56, the lower door mechanism DD includes an upper plate DD100 horizontally arranged in the left-right direction at an 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 formed by a lower protruding portion UD100i formed on the lower frame UD100. It is close to (almost 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 The notch UD120b of the hook UD120 is hooked on the inner projection member G2a while the lower surface of the upper wall of the UD110 is placed on the upper surface of the right mounting portion G120e and the left mounting portion G120f of the front projection member G120. 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 protrusion UD100i of the lower frame UD100, and the upper door mechanism UD is pushed backward. It is. 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 the hinge is provided, the range in which an image can be displayed on the side portion of the gaming machine is limited. However, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, only the portion where the hinge does not exist is provided. A wide range in the upper door mechanism UD can be secured as an image display area. Specifically, the range extending to the rear end of the screen sheet 1046 (the rear end of both the left and right curved portions 1045b of the light transmitting plate 1045) is included in the irradiation range in the left and right direction of the light projected from the projector 9020.

  When the upper door mechanism UD is closed as described above, a gap is formed between the upper door mechanism UD and the cabinet G (see FIG. 54), but foreign matter enters from the gap. Even in this case, the presence of the front-side projecting member G120 can prevent the foreign matter from entering the interior of the cabinet G.

(Third embodiment)
FIGS. 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 is different from the upper door mechanism UD of the first embodiment in the configuration of the upper frame portion 385 of the front panel 380. The configuration other than the upper frame portion 385 is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus the description of this embodiment is omitted. Further, in the upper frame portion 385 of the present embodiment, the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment is omitted.

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

  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 unit 394. The sub-screen mechanism 390 is attached to the back of the front wall 385A of the upper frame 385.

  The center screen 391 includes a center lens 391a formed in a spherical shape, 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. The center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392 each have a rear-side incident surface on which light projected from the projector device B2 enters, A front display surface on which a projection image is projected by transmitting light incident on the surface.

  The screen sheets 391b and 392b are formed, for example, using a translucent glass plate, an acrylic plate, and a resin film as main materials so as to have a uniform thickness over the entire surface. Alternatively, it takes on a gray color. Light projected from the projector device B2 is projected onto the screen sheets 391b and 392b from behind. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which light projected from the projector device B2 is projected from the rear onto the center lens 391a and the side lens 392a. The screen sheets 391b and 392b according to the present embodiment form the projection target according to the present invention.

  The decorative portion 393 is provided on the front side of the center lens 391a, and is provided with a predetermined gap formed between the decorative portion 393 and the center lens 391a. The decorative portion 393 is made of, for example, a resin material such as black.

  The lamp portion 394 is formed in a spherical shape having an opening on the rear side, and has a uniform thickness over the entire surface using, for example, a translucent glass plate, an acrylic plate, or a resin film as a main material. Is formed.

  Further, on the upper frame portion 385, a first reflex member 400, a second reflex member 410, a light guide lens 420, a lens member 421, and an LED board 430 are provided behind the sub-screen mechanism 390. Have been.

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

  The curved portion 400a is formed so that concave portions 400c that are concave rearward are arranged at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction. Three concave portions 400c are formed corresponding to a left LED 431L, a middle LED 431C, and a right LED 431R, respectively, to be described later, and are formed so as to decrease in diameter toward the rear.

  The rear end of the concave portion 400c is opened rearward, and the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R can emit light forward through the opening. Therefore, the light emitted by each of the left LED 431L, the middle LED 431C, and the right LED 431R is hard to interfere with each other, and can be distinguished from each other when the irradiation light of each LED is irradiated on the center lens 391. .

  The second reflex member 410 is provided behind the first reflex member 400, holds the light guide lens 420 in the front, and holds the lens member 421 in the rear. As shown in FIG. 63, the second reflex member 410 is installed such that a gap is formed between the second reflex member 410 and the first reflex member 400 in the front-rear direction. The light guide lens 420 is arranged in this gap.

  Each of the first and second reflex members 400 and 410 is formed of a non-light-transmitting resin member or the like that does not transmit light. Therefore, light passing through the light guide lens 420 disposed between the first reflex member 400 and the second reflex member 410 (light emitted from an LED 432 described later) is inward of the center screen 391 (first light). It does not leak to the side (space surrounded by the curved portion 400a of the reflex member 400 and the back surface of the center screen 391) or the rear side of the second reflex member 410. Accordingly, it is 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.

  As shown in FIGS. 63 and 64, a gap is formed between the front end 400b of the first reflex member 400 and the front end 410b of the second reflex member 410. Thus, the light guided by the light guide lens 420 is emitted forward. Further, the above-described gap is located behind the decorative member 393. For this reason, the light emitted forward from the aforementioned 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 includes a gap between a rear end face 420 a facing the LED 432, a front end 400 b of the first reflex member 400, and a front end 410 b of the second reflex member 410. And a front end face 420b located at

  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 that has entered from the rear end surface 420a and has been guided forward in the light guide lens 420 is emitted.

  As shown in FIG. 61, the lens member 421 has a columnar light guide 421 a that projects forward. The columnar light guide 421a is provided so as to be located in front of an LED 435 described later. Therefore, light is emitted from the LED 435 to the cylindrical light guide 421a, and the light emitted from the LED 435 is guided forward. The front end of the cylindrical light guide 421 a is located on the rear side inside the lamp 394. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED 435 is guided inside the cylindrical light guide 421a so as not to interfere with the light of the projector B2 projected on the lower center screen 391. In addition, since the front end of the cylindrical light guide 421a is located on the rear side inside the lamp 394, when the LED 435 emits light, is there a light source near the back of the lamp 394 for the player? You can give an impression like.

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the LED board 430 is included in the LED board 82 (see FIG. 37) of the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the triple LED 431, the LED 432, and the 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 a dashed line in the figure) of light projected from the projector device B2, reflected by the optical mirror 174, and traveling toward the center screen 391 and the pair of side screens 392. Have been.

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

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

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

  The sub-control board 72 (refer to FIG. 37) has a light emission mode of the triple LED 431, for example, when light is projected on the screen sheets 391 b and 392 b by the projector device B <b> 2, compared with other LEDs of the triple LED 431. The light emission mode can be controlled so that the LED in the light emission state with high brightness is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction. Thus, it is possible to execute an effect in which a brightly visible area in the image displayed on the center screen 391 is sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction. Note that, among the triple LEDs 431, the light emission mode may be controlled such that LEDs in a light emission state having lower luminance than other LEDs are sequentially changed in one direction in the left-right direction.

  The sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) can execute various effects described below using the triple LED 431 and the projector device B2 in addition to the effects described above.

  As shown in FIG. 65, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) is projected by the projector device B2 on the screen sheet 391b so that an image simulating a signal is displayed as an image (PM image) projected on the center screen 391. When the light is projected on the center screen 391, the display mode of the center screen 391 can be changed by changing the light emitting mode of the triple LED 431.

  Specifically, the image of each signal of red, yellow, and green in the PM image is projected with low luminance. For this reason, when the triple LED 431 is off, the appearance of the red, yellow, and green signals from the player (appearance) is such that the red, yellow, and green signals are off (darkly lit). It looks as if you are doing it.

  Here, an example in which the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 changes in the order of (1) to (4) in FIG. 65 will be described.

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

  Next, in (2), the left LED 431L located behind the red light image is turned on. Thus, although the PM image does not change, it appears to the player that the red light is lit.

  Conventionally, it was possible to display such that the signal is turned on just by changing the PM image, but by superimposing the LED light on the PM image from the rear, a realistic light texture that cannot be expressed by the PM image alone is obtained. Can be expressed.

  Here, the rear left LED 431L may emit red light to enhance red, or emit white light to enhance the luminance change of the red PM image. It should be noted that the red color of the PM image may be changed to a brighter red color almost simultaneously with the lighting of the left LED 431L to emphasize the change in color and apparent brightness.

  Next, in (3), the left LED 431L blinks. Thus, although there is no change in the PM image, the player sees as if the red light is blinking.

  Here, strictly speaking, when it is desired to limit the area to be illuminated by the LED so as to prevent the entire left area of the screen sheet 391b from being blinked around the rear of the image of the red light, a light guide is provided in front of the LED. It is desirable to provide a unit or a light shielding unit to limit an area affected by light from the LED.

  Since each LED of the triple LED 431 is partitioned by the concave portion 400c of the front first reflex member (light shielding member) 400, the light projecting positions of the left region, the middle region, and the right region can be roughly divided. When it is desired to limit the position at which light is projected in a pinpoint manner as in the case of an effect example, it is preferable that the concave portion 400c of the first reflex member (light-shielding member) 400 is set deeper than in the present embodiment and has a cylindrical shape.

  Next, in (4), the left LED 431L is turned off, and the middle LED 431C is turned on. Thus, although the PM image does not change, the blinking red signal is turned off and the yellow signal is turned on from the player. As described above, by changing the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 in the order of (1) to (4), it is possible to enhance the effect.

  In the effect example shown in FIG. 65 described above, the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 is changed after projecting the PM image. However, the light emission mode of the triple LED 431 may be changed at the same timing as the projection of the PM image.

  Alternatively, the triple LED 431 may be turned on or blinked first, and then an effect of projecting the PM image may be performed. In this case, since the lighting or blinking of the triple LED 431 indicates the appearance of the PM image, the player's attention can be attracted.

  In addition, when the PM image does not appear due to only the lighting or blinking of the triple LED 431, “losing” is disadvantageous to the player, and when the PM image appears, it is determined to shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player. For example, a staged effect (step-up effect) combining light emission by the triple LED 431 and the PM image may be performed. Here, for example, even if the PM images are the same, an effect may be obtained in which if the triple LED 431 emits light, the expectation of winning in the advantageous game state increases.

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

  In addition, a PM image with a changed brightness is projected, and when the PM image is changed to a relatively bright PM image, the brightness of the triple LED 431 is increased to emphasize the brightness. The brightness of the continuous LED 431 may be linked.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the position of the light emitting LED substrate 430 is fixed. However, a configuration in which the position can be changed by providing a triple LED 431 in the movable portion is also possible. Further, the triple LED 431 including a plurality of LEDs may include one or both of a fixed LED and a movable LED. As described above, when the LED can be moved, the variation of the effect in combination with the PM image is further expanded, and the interest of the game is increased.

  When the LED can be moved as described above, the LED may be moved in any direction, such as up and down, left and right, as viewed from the player. May be changed, and the projection angle of light on the screen sheet 391b (see FIG. 61) may be changed to change the appearance of light, thereby diversifying the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the light guide member is not arranged before reaching the screen sheet 391b (see FIG. 61), but the light projected from the triple LED 431 is arranged by disposing a light-transmitting light guide member. May be changed. In this case, the light guide member may be provided separately from the triple LED 431, or an auxiliary diffusion lens in which the triple LED 431 is integrated with a diffusion lens may be used to save space. .

  During a game or a non-game (demonstration display screen, etc.), the player can use a staging LED or a display screen (including a screen such as a liquid crystal in addition to the projection type as in the present embodiment). In the case of a gaming machine having a brightness adjustment function capable of adjusting the brightness, the brightness of the above-mentioned light emitting LED (triple LED 431) is influenced 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.

  Even if the light emitting LED (triple LED 431) emits light at a luminance linked to the luminance set by the luminance adjustment function, if there is no problem in the effect surface, it may be affected.

  The above-described brightness adjustment function may be such that only the hall manager can set 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 using the triple LED 431 and the projector device B2.

  In other words, the sub-control board 72 (see FIG. 37) executes a specific control pattern in which one or more specific LEDs at a predetermined location among the plurality of LEDs constituting the triple LED 431 have a light emission mode different from that of 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 controlled by the projector device B2. When the light is projected on the center screen 391 (the screen sheet 391b), the second specific control pattern can be executed after executing the first specific control pattern.

  The specific control pattern refers to a light emission mode in which one or a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter, referred to as a specific LED) at a predetermined location among the plurality of LEDs can be distinguished from other LEDs, and sequentially switches the specific control pattern. Thus, a light emission effect that makes the player feel a change in the light emission mode becomes possible.

Specifically, the following patterns (a) to (e) are exemplified.
(A) the specific LED has a higher luminance light emission pattern than the other LEDs; (b) the specific LED has a lower luminance (including off) light emission pattern than the other LEDs; Light emission pattern different from the emission color of the other LED (d) The specific LED is turned on or blinking, the other LED is turned off Light emission pattern (e) The specific LED is turned off, and the other LED is turned on or off Flashing flash pattern

  Of the above-mentioned light-emitting patterns, a pattern obtained by combining arbitrary pluralities may be used. For example, there is a pattern in which the specific LED is the left LED 431L, the left LED 431L blinks and emits light with high luminance and red, and the other LEDs, the middle LED 431C and the right LED 431R, emit light with blue and low luminance.

  Further, the light emission mode of the LED corresponding to the other LED does not need to be the same for all the other LEDs, and may be any mode that can be distinguished from the specific LED. For example, the specific LED may be the left LED 431L of the present embodiment and emit red light, the middle LED 431C which is one of the other LEDs emits light blue, and the right LED 431R which is another of the other LEDs 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 in the effect of making a change such that the light travels in a predetermined direction.

  For example, the following specific control pattern is given as a case where the specific LED blinks.

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

  In this case, by sequentially switching the specific control patterns 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) proceeds from left to right. The light emission 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 manner that involves a change in the PM image.

  In addition, the control mode of the specific LED does not need to be the same in the first specific control pattern, the second specific control pattern, and the third specific control pattern, and can be made to make the player feel the movement of light, that is, other modes. The control pattern may be changed in the middle if the light emission mode is characteristic 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 in the third specific control pattern, and the other LEDs are the first specific control pattern and the second In the specific control pattern or the third specific control pattern, the light may be appropriately switched in a light emission mode that can be distinguished from the specific LED, such as turning off or low-luminance white light emission.

  A variety of luminous effects, such as suggestion and notification of an internal winning combination, suggestion and notification of an advantageous gaming state or its precursor state, and suggestion and notification of a gaming state and set values, can enhance the interest of the game. . By performing such a novel effect in a state of waiting for a player (standby state), it is possible to attract the attention of the player in the game arcade and promote the operation of the gaming machine.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which light can be irradiated from the rear by the triple LED 431 to the center screen 391 for projecting the PM image has been described. However, the LED 199A described in the first embodiment in this configuration. May be combined with the configuration of the light guide panel that can emit light. In this case, similarly to the light guide panel 198 of the first embodiment, the center screen 391 is formed with projections and depressions so that the pattern emerges, and an LED for irradiating the center screen 391 with light, and a center screen 391. May be provided with an LED (triple LED 431) for irradiating light from the rear, and these LEDs may be properly used depending on the situation. Thereby, the effect variation can be increased.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the triple LED 431 capable of irradiating light to the screen sheet 391b on which the light projected by the projector device B2 is projected is transmitted from the projector device B2 to the screen sheet 391b. Since it is arranged at a position that does not block the optical path of light traveling toward 391b and 392b, it is possible to perform an effect of projecting light on the screen sheet 391b by the triple LED 431 while projecting images on the screen sheets 391b and 392b by the projector device B2. Can be. Thereby, a novel and various effects using the projector device B2 can be performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when light is projected on screen sheets 391b and 392b by projector device B2, sub-control board 72 is one of a plurality of LEDs constituting triple LED 431. Since the light emission mode is controlled so that the LEDs in the light emission state having a higher luminance than the other LEDs are sequentially changed in one direction in the left and right direction, the brightly visible area in the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is different between the left and right. An effect that sequentially changes in one direction can be executed. Thereby, a novel and various effects using the projector device B2 can be performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  According to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, since the triple LED 431 is located above the vertical center of the screen sheet 391b, when the player looks down at the screen sheet 391b from above, the triple LED 431 is formed. There is an effect that the image projected on the screen sheet 391b by the projector apparatus B2 is clearly visible, and the player looks up the screen sheet 391b from below. There is an effect that an image projected on the screen sheet 391b looks bright. For this reason, the display mode of the screen sheet 391b can be changed according to the viewing angle of the player.

  According to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, light is projected from below the vertical center of screen sheet 391b onto screen sheet 391b disposed above optical mirror 174. In contrast, while the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is visually recognized by the projector device B2, the light emitted to the screen sheet 391b by the light emitting unit can be visually recognized.

  Further, according to the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when light is projected on screen sheet 391b by projector device B2, sub-control board 72 changes the light emission mode of triple LED 431 to change projector device B2. Thus, the visibility of the image projected on the screen sheet 391b is changed, so that various display modes can be realized by a combination of the light emission 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 with a very low brightness is projected on the screen sheet 391b by the projector device B2, the image projected on the screen sheet 391b only momentarily at the timing when the triple LED 431 is turned on. Effects such as clearly visible can be performed.

It is. Therefore, here, the screen moving mechanism 550 will be described, and the description of the same configuration as that of the fourth embodiment will be omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 71 and 72, a screen opening 561 through which the second screens 502 and 503 are inserted is formed near the side edge of the upper display window UD1. A screen moving mechanism 550 for moving the second screens 502 and 503 is provided inside the upper display window UD1. The second screens 502 and 503 are inserted into the first position accommodated in the upper display window UD1 and the screen opening 561, and protrude forward of the first screen 501 (upper display window UD1). Move between positions.

  In a state where the second screens 502 and 503 are arranged at the projection position (second position) shown in FIG. 72, they are arranged to face each other with the first screen 501 interposed therebetween, and play a game in front of the upper display window UD1. Is visible. The second screens 502 and 503 only need to be at least partially housed in the upper display window UD1. For example, in the state where the second screens 502 and 503 are housed in the upper display window UD1, a part of the leading end portion is located in the upper display window UD1. It may project from UD1.

  The side edges 502b, 503b facing the front of the second screens 502, 503 are formed in a shape along the outer surface of the upper display window UD1 where the screen opening 561 is formed. Note that the second screens 502 and 503 are covered with the protective covers, respectively, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the protective covers covering the second screens 502 and 503 may be directly attached to the upper display window UD1. .

  The screen moving mechanism 550 is provided for the second screens 502 and 503, respectively, inside the upper display window UD1. The screen moving mechanism 550 includes a base 571, a pair of racks 572, a pair of pinions 573, a pair of guides 574, and a pair of motors (not shown).

  The base portion 571 is connected to a rear edge of the second screens 502 and 503, and supports the second screens 502 and 503. The pair of racks 572 are attached to the upper edge and the lower edge of the base portion 571, respectively, and extend in the direction in which the second screens 502 and 503 move inside and outside the upper display window UD1 (front and rear directions).

  The pair of pinions 573 mesh with the pair of racks 572, respectively, and rotate by driving a pair of motors (not shown). The pair of guides 574 is fixed to the upper display window UD1, and extends in a direction in which the second screens 502 and 503 move inside and outside the upper display window UD1 (front and rear directions). The pair of guides 574 slidably support the upper edge or the lower edge of the second screens 502 and 503, respectively.

  The pair of motors (not shown) are rotationally driven by a sub-control circuit constituted by a sub-control device SS (see FIG. 36), and synchronously rotate the pair of pinions 573. In the fifth embodiment, the motor constituting the screen moving mechanism 550 is described as a pair, but the present invention is not limited to this. As the screen moving mechanism 550 according to the present invention, for example, a motor may be provided only on the lower pinion 573, and a coupling mechanism that operates the upper pinion 573 and the lower pinion 573 in conjunction with each other may be provided. In this case, the number of motors can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

  The sub control circuit determines the effect contents based on the command signal transmitted from the main control circuit constituted by the main control board 71. Then, according to the determined effect contents, the motors of the screen moving mechanism 550 are respectively driven to rotate, and the pair of pinions 573 are rotated in synchronization. The sub-control circuit drives the motor to rotate by the number of steps according to the preset effect contents. Further, a detection element such as a photo sensor may be provided, the position of the second screen 502, 503 may be detected by the detection element, and the sub-control circuit may rotate the motor in accordance with the detected position.

[Drive control of screen moving mechanism]
Next, drive control of the screen moving mechanism 550 will be described. For example, the second screens 502 and 503 are arranged at the first position accommodated in the upper display window UD1 in the standby state, as shown in FIG. Light that has passed through the light transmitting unit 511 without entering the first screen 501 does not enter the second screens 502 and 503 arranged at the first position.

  The sub-control circuit drives the plurality of motors of the screen moving mechanism 550 to rotate in respective predetermined directions according to the effect content determined based on the command signal transmitted from the main control circuit. The effect contents in this case include, for example, an effect when an internal winning combination with a relatively low winning probability is won, an effect when a bonus is won, an effect when a bonus is started, a case where an ART start is determined, or an ART Can be mentioned when starting. Further, the effect content may be an effect when the occurrence of a game lock is determined or an effect when a game lock occurs.

  ART is an assist replay time function in which AT (assist time) and RT (replay time) operate simultaneously. AT is a function for navigating the formation of a specific small combination (combination relating to the payout of game media) with a lamp or the like, and RT is a function for operating a game state in which the winning probability of replay is higher than usual. Further, while the game lock is occurring, even if a throw-in operation or a stop operation is performed, the detection is treated as invalid or delayed.

  When the plurality of motors of the screen moving mechanism 550 are driven to rotate in the respective predetermined directions, the pair of pinions 573 engaged with the pair of racks 572 rotate in synchronization. As a result, the second screens 502 and 503 supported by the base portion 571 to which the pair of racks 572 are attached and covered by the protective member have their upper and lower edges supported by the pair of guides 574 while their side edges are supported. Projecting from the side of the upper display window UD1 from the sides 502b and 503b, the projection state shown in FIG. 72 is obtained.
