Description

  The present invention is configured such that a game board having a game area on which a game ball flows down is detachably attached to a front frame and a display game is played in a display area set on the game board. Related to gaming machines.

  A conventional gaming machine is provided with a game board forming a game area and a front frame (main body frame) to which the game board is attached. A game board mounting portion for detachably mounting the game board is formed on the front frame, and the game board can be replaced with a new one. When the game board is mounted on the mounting part, the game board is mounted so that the game area faces the front side, but electrical devices (such as a liquid crystal display device) are disposed on the game board. In addition, since the electric device is attached to the back surface of the game board or attached through the game board, the electric device protrudes rearward when attached to the game board. In recent years, with the increase in the size of electric devices arranged on game boards, in particular, liquid crystal display devices, electric devices have come to project over a wide area on the rear side of the game board.

In a conventional gaming machine, since an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device is attached to the game board, a relatively expensive image display device must be replaced at the same time every time the game board is replaced. It was a wasteful configuration. In view of this, a gaming machine in which the image display device is arranged on the front frame side so that the image display device can be left on the front frame when the game board is replaced is also considered (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

Held one by one. The sprocket 190d is rotated by a predetermined angle by the driving source 190e, and accordingly, the game ball held in the ball receiving recess 190c also moves downward and rotates to an angle that cannot be held in the ball receiving recess 190c. A game ball flows into a discharge passage 190i formed below the sprocket 190d.

  Similarly to the guide channel 202, the discharge device 190 is also provided with two channels arranged in the front-rear direction. Correspondingly, two sprockets 190d are provided in the front-rear direction. However, the front and rear sprockets 190d are rotated together by a single drive source 190e, and the positions of the ball receiving recesses 190c are provided at positions shifted from each other along the circumferential direction (provided by shifting the phases). Thus, the game ball is alternately flowed downward from the front and rear flow paths every time it rotates by a predetermined angle. That is, it is configured such that one game ball can be discharged from the game ball channel. The flow path downstream of the sprocket 190d is a single flow path.

  The game ball that has flowed into the flow path formed below the sprocket 190d is detected by the discharge ball sensor 190g and then discharged from the discharge port 190b formed below the discharge device 190. The outlet port 190b is connected to the inlet of the lower channel 198 formed in the channel component 197, and the game balls discharged from the outlet port 190b flow into the lower channel 198 and further downward. You are guided down.

  Further, the discharge device 190 is provided with a relay board 190f for relaying the wiring, and the connector 190h of the relay board 190f faces the upper communication portion 183b where the connection recess 183 and the discharge device installation recess 185 communicate. It is exposed to the side surface of the discharging device 190 that performs. The wiring connected to the connector 190h reaches the lower communication portion 183c from the upper communication portion 183b through the connection recess 183, and is connected to the discharge / fire control device 34. 34 can control the discharge device 190 under the control of the game control device 30.

  A flow path constituting member 197 is attached to the lower part of the right flow path forming recess 184 with the discharge device disposition recess 185 as a boundary, and a lower flow path that guides the game ball discharged from the discharge device 190 downward. 198 is formed. The lower channel 198 has an inlet connected to the outlet 190 b of the discharging device 190, and the game balls that have flowed in from here are guided downward along the lower channel 198. And the discharge port of the lower end part of the lower flow path 198 is connected to the flow path connected to the upper plate on the front side of the gaming machine, whereby a predetermined number of game balls discharged from the discharge device 190 are discharged into the launch operation unit. It is paid out to the upper plate formed on the front surface of 150.

  The flow path component 197 also forms a lower ball removal flow path 199 that forms a part of a ball discharge flow path for discharging game balls from the induction flow path 202 to the outside of the gaming machine without using the discharge device 190. ing. The lower bulb passage 199 is connected to the discharge port of the upper bulb passage 196g provided at the lower end of the guide passage formation member 196, and extends downward through the side of the discharge device 190. The discharge port at the lower end is connected to a flow path that communicates with the outside of the gaming machine 100 (a recovery bin of the island facility).

  With the configuration as described above, the game balls supplied from an island facility supply device (not shown) and stored in the storage tank 192 are guided to the discharge port located on the back side of the back mechanism frame 160 by the inclination of the bottom surface of the storage tank 192. Is done. The game ball discharged from the discharge port flows down the lead-out flow path 201 formed on the back side of the back mechanism frame 160 and reaches the discharge device 190 through the guide flow path 202. Then, when the discharge device 190 is operated, the discharge device 190 is discharged to the upper plate formed on the front surface of the firing operation unit 150 through the lower flow path 198. Note that game balls are always waiting in the flow path from the discharge port of the storage tank 192 to the discharge device 190, and the game balls in the flow path are discharged by the discharge device 190. Along with this, a game ball flows from the storage tank 192 into the flow path. In addition, the various members described above disposed on the back surface of the rear surface portion 161a are formed to have a front-rear width such that the back surfaces are substantially the same surface.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the display unit 173 includes a display unit case 174 formed in a rectangular box shape (frame shape) whose front side is open, and a liquid crystal display housed in the rectangular box-shaped display unit case 174. A panel (including a liquid crystal display 55 and a backlight 56). The front surface of the liquid crystal display panel 175 having the image display surface 171 is exposed from the front surface side of the display unit case 174.

  The display unit case 174 is made of metal and has guided portions 18, 18,... Guided by the guide portions 169, 169,... Of the above-described back mechanism frame 160, and the display unit storage portion of the back mechanism frame 160. It is arranged so as to be movable back and forth within 168. The guided portions 18, 18,... Are the upper and lower side portions of the display unit case 174, and are provided so as to protrude outward from the four portions in total, including the left end portion and the right end portion. . The guided portions 18, 18,... Are formed by fixing guided members 18 a made of a material having a low friction coefficient (for example, polyacetal, metal) to the upper and lower portions (both left and right ends of the upper and lower surfaces) of the display unit case 174. Is formed. The guided portions 18 and 18 provided on the lower surface of the display unit 173 include a roller (not shown) having a rotation axis extending in the left-right direction as a sliding body at the lower portion thereof. , 169 is in contact with the bottom surface.

  With such a configuration, the guided portion 18 made of a material having a low friction coefficient or a rotatable roller comes into contact with the guide portion 169, and the frictional resistance between the guided portion 18 and the guide portion 169 is reduced. Thus, the display unit 173 can be smoothly moved in the front-rear direction.

  On the back surface of the display unit case 174, the wiring for connecting the liquid crystal display panel 175 housed in the display unit case 174 and the effect control device 33 disposed on the back surface side of the back mechanism frame 160 is passed in front and rear. A wiring opening (not shown) penetrating therethrough is formed. The wiring opening is formed corresponding to the position of the connector portion provided on the back side of the liquid crystal display panel 175. When the liquid crystal display panel 175 is housed in the display unit case 174, the wiring opening is connected to the connector portion. Is exposed. The position where the wiring opening is formed is also a position corresponding to the wiring opening 165a formed in the rear surface portion 161a when the display unit 173 is stored in the display unit storage portion 168.

  The liquid crystal display panel 175 has a rectangular plate shape and is just large enough to fit in the display unit case 174. The liquid crystal display panel 175 includes a liquid crystal display 55 and a backlight 56, and is arranged so that the image display surface 171 of the liquid crystal display 55 faces the front side.

  The area of the image display surface 171 of the liquid crystal display 55 is an area that can cover most of the lower side of the game board 1 that is fitted in the opening formed in the front frame body 130 from the back side. It is wider than the opening 15 formed in the game board back surface constituting member 11. That is, the area of the image display surface 171 is at least larger than the opening 15 formed in the game board back surface constituting member 11, and even if the size of the opening 15 formed in the game board back surface constituting member 11 is changed, It can be supported. As described above, the image display surface 171 of the liquid crystal display 55 covers the back side of the game board 1 widely, so that various game contents of the gaming machine 100 can be changed by replacing the game board 1. It corresponds to the game board 1.

  Further, since the area of the image display surface 171 is wider than the opening 15 formed in the game board back surface constituent member 11, the liquid crystal display 55 is an area exposed from the opening 15 formed in the game board back surface constituent member 11. The effect control device 33 controls the predetermined image to be displayed. Initial information regarding the size and position of the opening 15 formed in the game board back surface constituting member 11 of the game board 1 for determining the image display area and information regarding the image of the variable display game are stored in the effect data device 32. However, the effect data device 32 is attached to the game board 1, and the effect data device 32 is exchanged together with the game board 1. Therefore, with the replacement of the game board 1, for example, the image display area corresponding to the previous game board can be changed to the image display area corresponding to the new game board 1.

  With the above configuration, the display unit 173 including the liquid crystal display 55 is held by the back mechanism frame 160 so as to be movable back and forth.

Next, the front / rear position adjustment of the display unit 173 will be described. The position of the display unit 173 is adjusted, for example, when the game board 1 is attached to the front frame 120 with the back mechanism frame 160 closed, or when the game board 1 is attached to the front frame body 130 for maintenance or the like. This is performed when the back mechanism frame 160 is changed from being opened to being closed.
Here, as an example, position adjustment of the display unit 173 when the game board 1 is attached to the front frame 120 with the back mechanism frame 160 closed will be described. It is assumed that the old game board 1 has already been removed from the opening, and the back mechanism frame 160 is in a state where the display unit 173 faces the back side of the front frame body 130 (closed state). In addition, it is assumed that the box 30a in which the game control device 30 attached to the back side of the effect data device 32 on the back side of the game board 1 is accommodated is rotated rearward and is in a horizontal state.

  A locking member (not shown) for locking one side of the game board 1 is provided on the left side of the opening of the front frame body 130 as viewed from the front side, that is, on the side where the back mechanism frame 160 is pivotally attached. In order to attach the game board 1 to the opening, first, a locked portion (not shown) provided on one side of the game board 1 is locked from the front side of the opening. Insert it diagonally so that it is locked to the member. Then, the game board 1 is fitted into the opening while being rotated to the rear side of the gaming machine 100 with the side locked by the locking member as an axis.

  Here, the display unit 173 held by the back mechanism frame 160 is movable forward and backward within the display unit storage portion 168 and is urged forward by a compression coil spring 182 as display unit urging means. In the state where the back mechanism frame 160 is opened, the front surface of the guided portion 18 is disposed at a position in contact with the guide portion 162 that forms the front end of the guide portion 169.

  In the process of rotating the game board 1 to the rear side as described above, the pressing parts 17, 17,... Protruding rearward of the game board 1 are displayed by the pressing members 17 b, 17 b,. The unit 173 contacts the display unit case 174 that forms the periphery of the front surface. Then, as the game board 1 is fitted further into the opening, the display unit 173 moves backwards against the urging force of the compression coil spring 182 as the display unit urging means as it is further rotated rearward. It will be pushed into.

Here, since the game board 1 rotates around one side portion locked by the locking member,
Of the pressing portions 17, 17,... Provided on the back surface of the game board back surface constituting member 11, the pressing portions 17, 17 provided on the right side when viewed from the back surface side, that is, on the side close to the rotation axis of the gaming board 1 are provided. First, it contacts the front surface of the display unit 173. More specifically, the display unit case in which the roller 20 provided on the pressing member 17b attached to the rear end portion of the pressing portion 17 on the side close to the rotation axis of the game board 1 forms a peripheral edge on the front surface of the display unit 173. 174 abuts. The display unit 173 can be in a slightly inclined state (the display unit 173 is not parallel to the left-right direction of the back mechanism frame 160) in the display unit storage portion 168, and the pressing portion 17 (roller 20) is in contact with the display unit storage portion 168. The contact side moves in an inclined state so as to be pushed further backward.

  In the process of rotating the game board 1, the pressing portion 17 provided on the side close to the rotation axis of the game board 1 moves the display unit 173 backward while the roller 20 is in contact with the front surface of the display unit 173. It moves along the left-right direction while pressing. At this time, the roller 20 can be smoothly moved by rotating.

  In addition, the game board 1 gradually moves along the left-right direction of the gaming machine 100 by rotating, but in this process, the pressing member 17b abuts on the front surface of the display unit 173 in addition to the roller 20, and the display unit 173 It moves along the left-right direction, pushing back. At this time, since the pressing member 17b is made of a material having a low friction coefficient, the pressing member 17b can move smoothly.

  Further, in the process of rotating the game board 1, the display unit 173 moves backward in the display unit storage portion 168, and the display unit 173 is guided on the upper and lower side surfaces as described above. The parts 18, 18,... Can be moved along the front-rear direction by being guided by the guide parts 169, 169,. .. Are formed by a guided member 18a made of a material having a low friction coefficient, and the outer side in the left-right direction contacting the inner walls of the guide portions 169, 169,. And the rollers are provided on the lower surfaces of the guided portions 18 and 18 provided on the lower side surface of the display unit 173, thereby enabling smooth back and forth movement. Since the display unit 173 is urged forward by the display unit urging means (compression coil spring 182), the front surface is in close contact with the pressing member 17b provided at the rear end portion of the pressing portion 17, and the game board It will be pushed back, maintaining 1 and a predetermined space | interval.

  When the gaming board 1 is completely fitted in the opening, the gaming machine 1 is parallel to the left-right direction of the gaming machine 100. Further, the inclination of the display unit 173 gradually follows the left-right direction of the gaming machine 100 by rotating the game board 1. Thus, in a state where the game board 1 is completely fitted into the opening, the front surface of the display unit 173 comes into surface contact with the pressing member 17b provided at the rear end portion of the pressing portion 17. The rear end surfaces of the pressing members 17b provided at the rear end portions of the respective pressing portions 17 are at the same front-rear position, and the display unit 173 is arranged in parallel with the game board 1.

  Further, the display unit 173 is urged forward by the display unit urging means (compression coil spring 182), the front surface is in close contact with the pressing member 17b provided at the rear end portion of the pressing portion 17, and the game unit 1 and a predetermined board Is maintained in a state where the interval is maintained. That is, a space portion 8 having a predetermined interval is formed between the game board 1 and the display unit 173. Further, the front / rear position of the display unit 173 at this time is the front / rear position when the gaming machine 100 is used. Note that the rearward protrusion amount of the display area partition wall 16 is smaller than the rearward protrusion amount of the pressing portion 17 and does not contact the front surface of the display unit 173, but is arranged at a close position.

  By rotating the game board 1 backward, the connector part 32f of the effect data device 32 attached to the back surface of the game board 1 and the connector part 33m of the effect control device 33 extending below the back mechanism frame 160 are provided. The effect data device 32 and the effect control device 33 are directly connected. In addition, the game control device 30 attached to the back side of the effect data device 32 passes under the back mechanism frame 160 and reaches the back side of the back mechanism frame 160.

  When the gaming board 1 is fitted into the opening, the fixing board (not shown) provided on the right side when viewed from the front side of the opening is engaged with the fixed part (not shown) to fix the gaming board 1. To do.

  Further, the game control device 30 in a state of being rotated backward is rotated in the forward direction to be in a standing state, and is stored in a recess formed in the lower portion on the back side of the back mechanism frame 160. At this time, since the game control device 30 is pressed forward, the connection portion between the effect control device 33 and the effect data device 32 (the connection portion between the connector portion 33m and the connector portion 32f) located in front of the game control device 30 is also simultaneously. It is pressed and the connection between the two is assisted (when the connection is not complete, it is pushed in by this operation). And the state which the game control apparatus 30 stood up is hold | maintained by the holding member 32i. Furthermore, the attachment of the game board 1 is completed by connecting various wirings and the like.

In the gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, the back mechanism frame 160 can be opened and closed. However, in the configuration in which the game board 1 is attached to the front frame 120 from the front side, the back mechanism frame 160 that cannot be opened and closed may be used. However, the front frame body 130 is detachable.
Further, the guide portions 169, 169,... May be formed on the back side of the front frame body 130 without separately providing the back mechanism frame 160.

In the gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, the game board 1 is attached to the front frame 120 from the front side, but the game board 1 may be attached to the front frame 120 from the rear side (or slide-inserted from the side). good. In this case, the back mechanism frame 160 is closed after the game board 1 is mounted on the front frame 120, and the position of the display unit 173 is adjusted at this time. Further, even when the game board 1 is mounted from the front side as in the present embodiment, when the back mechanism frame 160 is opened in the case of maintenance or the like, the display unit 173 is closed when the back mechanism frame 160 is closed again. Position adjustment will be performed.
As described above, even when the back mechanism frame 160 is opened from the opened state while the game board 1 is attached to the front frame body 130, the game board 1 and the back mechanism frame 160 are relatively relative to each other. The operation is substantially the same as the case, and the position of the display unit 173 is adjusted in the same manner as described above.

  That is, when the game board 1 is attached to the front frame 120, the back of the game board 1 faces the front of the display unit 173 provided in the back mechanism frame 160, or the game board attached to the front frame 120. The position of the display unit 173 is adjusted when the display unit 173 is positioned behind the game board 1 as in the case where the back surface side of 1 is changed from the opened state to the closed state.

  Also, rollers are provided laterally outside the guided members (upper and lower) 18a, 18a,..., And the rollers roll when the guided portions 18, 18,... Contact the outer walls of the guide portions 169, 169,. You may do it.

Next, a game in the gaming machine 100 having the above configuration will be described.
When a game ball that has been driven into the game area 3 passes through a normal start gate (not shown), a normal variable display game is played on the normal variable display. Here, the common figure change indicator is composed of, for example, LEDs, etc., and a change display game of normal symbols (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) displays the lighting state of the common figure change indicator for a predetermined time. This is done by stopping the display. Note that the universal map display game may be displayed in a part of the display area of the display unit 173.

  If, as a result of the usual fluctuation display game, the stop indication on the ordinary fluctuation display becomes a special result mode, the opening / closing member of the normal fluctuation prize-winning device is operated for a predetermined time (for example, 0.00. 5 seconds). Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device, and it is easy to start a variation display game of a special figure.

  When the game ball that has been driven into the game area 3 enters the normal variation winning device that also serves as the starting port of the special figure and is detected by the starting port sensor 50, the detection signal is input to the game control device 30. . The game control device 30 performs a process of determining whether or not a special display variation display game is missed based on an input of a detection signal of a game ball from the start port sensor 50 provided in the normal variation winning device. Based on this result, the special figure fluctuation display game is executed on the special figure fluctuation display. In addition, a process for determining a variation pattern (for example, the type of reach action) is performed, and a control signal including these results is output to the effect control device 33 via the effect data device 32.

  In the effect control device 33 and the effect data device 32 connected thereto, a process of displaying a display game corresponding to the special display variable display game on the liquid crystal display panel 175 of the display unit 173 based on the control signal from the game control device 30. I do. As a result, a display game corresponding to the special display variable display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are displayed in a variable manner on the image display surface 171 is executed. Further, based on the control signal from the game control device 30, as an effect in the reach state, a reach image display and a process of controlling the second effect member 80 via the board decoration driver board 35 are performed. The first effect member 70 is indirectly controlled by controlling the second effect member 80. In addition, a process for controlling the game board decoration device 54 such as a sound output from the speaker 58, a lamp, an LED, and a decoration accessory, and a process for controlling the frame decoration device 57 such as a lamp and an LED are performed.

  As the display game, for example, the image display surface 171 is divided into a left region, a middle region, and a right region, and plural types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are sequentially changed for a predetermined time in each region. After the display, the change display of each of the three areas is stopped in order (for example, stop in the order of the left area, the right area, and the middle area), and one identification information is displayed in each area as a stop symbol. . Also, when the change display of the two areas is stopped, and the remaining one area is changing, the numbers of the two stopped areas stop at the same number, and the change display of the remaining areas is also the same number. When it stops, when it becomes the state (reach state) which will be in a special game state, the stop method of the symbol which stops last can be changed. Examples of such a change in the method of stopping the change display in the reach state (reach action) include, for example, making the display time of the change display longer than usual or causing a character or the like to appear.

  In this reach state, when the first reach action is developed to another reach action, that is, when entering the so-called special reach, the first effect member 70 and the second effect member 80 produce effects.

  As the special reach, three different stages are prepared, and each of the first effect members 70 corresponds to the three stages. Then, at the time of entering the special reach, the effect control device 33 drives the motor 92 of the operating device 90 via the effect data device 32 and the board decoration driver board 35, and the second effect member 80 is moved to the right display area partition wall. It moves to the left from the normal position (non-operating position) adjacent to 16. At this time, also on the image display surface 171, a human character is displayed in accordance with the operation of the second effect member 80, and a display as if the character is moving the handgun left and right is performed.

  The position of the second effect member 80 can be detected by the position detection sensor 93, and the detection signal is input to the effect control device 33 via the board decoration driver board 35 and the effect data device 32. Based on this detection signal, the effect control device 33 stops the second effect member 80 at a position immediately after the first effect member 70 corresponding to a predetermined stage (proximity position). At that position, the effect control device 33 controls a switching circuit (relay) provided on the board decoration driver board 35 and supplies current to the power transmission coil member 83 provided on the second effect member 80.

  As a result, an induced current is generated in the coil member 73 for receiving power of the first effect member 70 facing by electromagnetic induction, and this induced current is appropriately adjusted by the drive circuit 72 and output to the LED 71 so that the LED 71 is lit. It has become. At the same time, the production control device 33 outputs the firing sound of the handgun from the speaker 58, and also displays an image of the character firing the handgun on the image display surface 171, as if the handgun was fired. I do. Then, after the effect as described above is performed by the second effect member 80, the notified special reach at the stage is displayed on the image display surface 171. At this time, the second effect member 80 returns to the normal position.

  From the above, the operation control means (the game control device 30, the effect control device 33, the effect data device 32, the board decoration driver board 35) for controlling the operation device 90 according to the contents of the display game is provided.

  And, as a result of the special figure variation display game, when the display mode of the special figure variation display device becomes a special result mode (for example, “7”), it becomes a big hit and a special gaming state (so-called big hit state) It becomes. Correspondingly, the display mode of the image display surface 171 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”).

  In the special game state, the game control device 30 controls the special prize opening SOL53 to open the opening / closing door of the special variable prize-winning device, thereby converting the special prize opening from the closed state to the opened state, and into the special prize opening. A cycle game that facilitates the inflow of game balls is performed.

In the above-described embodiment, the second effect member 80 is movable in the space 8 between the game board 1 and the display unit 173, but is fixed at a position immediately after the first effect member 70. May be.
In addition, although the entire second effect member 80 (the main body 81 and the support member 82) is activated (moved), only a part of the second effect member 80 may be activated. May be a doll and only its arms may be activated.

In the first effect member 70, the LED 71 is used as the light emitting member, but a light bulb or the like may be used. By using the light bulb, the drive circuit 72 for driving the light emitting member can be simplified.
Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, a belt is used in the operating device 90 to translate the second effect member 80 left and right, but other drive mechanisms may be used.
In addition, the second effect member 80 is operated when selecting a stage at the time of entering the special reach. However, the second effect member 80 is not limited to this. For example, the second effect member 80 operates at the start of the display game to reach the player. A notice of occurrence of a big hit may be made.

  In addition, the movement mode of the second effect member 80 is such that the second effect member 80 moves in the space portion 8 and can move from a position where power cannot be supplied to the first effect member 70 to a position where it can be supplied. Any movement mode may be used. For example, by attaching the support member 82 of the second effect member 80 to the operating device and rotating the support member 82 according to the rotation of the motor, the second effect attached to the rotating end side thereof. The member 80 may be moved. That is, the second effect member 80 performs a rotation operation like a pendulum. Therefore, each arrangement of the first effect member 70 also needs to be arranged on the rotation path (arc shape) of the second effect member 80. Further, the movement is not limited to the movement in the left-right direction, and may be moved in the front-rear direction.

Further, the normal position of the second effect member 80 (position at the time of non-operation) is set to a position that can be seen by the player (position in the display area), but the second effect member 80 is not visible to the player in the normal state. You may provide so that it may exist in a position (outside of the display area division wall 16). In this case, a notch-shaped introduction part is formed in the display area partition wall 16 so that the second effect member 80 moves into the display area partition wall 16 through the introduction part when the second effect member 80 is operated. To. In addition, if the operation of the second effect member 80 is a rotation operation like the above-described pendulum, the display area partition wall 16 can be easily moved from the outside to the inside.
Further, the first effect member 70 may be configured to be operable, and the first effect member 70 may be effected (actuated or moved) on the front surface of the game board 1.

  In the gaming machine as described above, a game board 1 having a game area 3 in which a game ball flows down on the front side is detachably attached to the front frame 120, and the display area set for the game board 1 A gaming machine 100 configured to play a display game, which includes a display unit 173 for displaying a display game at a predetermined distance from the game board 1 at a position behind the game board 1 in a front frame 120. At the same time, by forming the game board 1 from transparent synthetic resin, the display game can be viewed from the front of the gaming machine through the game board 1, and the display game is displayed in the game area 3 of the game board 1.
