In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and achieve the intended purpose, the gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present application is:
In a gaming machine configured to bring about an advantageous state for the player,
A plurality of transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) formed so that the plate surface side emits light by light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face, and laminated in the thickness direction;
A plurality of light emitters provided so as to face the outer peripheral end face of each transparent panel (55, 60, 64, 65) and emitting light toward the outer peripheral end face of the corresponding transparent panel (55, 60, 64, 65) 54, 59),
A preview production execution determining means (20) for deciding to execute a preview production that suggests the possibility that an advantageous state will occur;
A first transparent panel (55) for emitting light to the first pattern located on the front side by emitting light from the outer peripheral end surface to the plurality of transparent panels so that the plate surface side emits plane light by the light introduced from the outer peripheral end face And a second pattern formed on the front side of the first transparent panel (55) and visible from the plate surface side by reflecting light introduced from the outer peripheral end surface and introduced into the inside. Two transparent panels (60) and
Before SL covers the whole front side of the second of the first symbol is positioned on the back side of the transparent panel (60), said second transparent panel light is first irradiated from the outer peripheral end face (60) It has a laminated body (61) which prevents permeation to the transparent panel (55) side,
As an effect based on the determination of the preliminary announcement effect execution determining means (20), a first effect for causing one of the plurality of transparent panels (55, 60, 64, 65) to emit light, and a plurality of transparent Equipped with a second effect to make the panel glow,
The first effect and the second effect are set so that the possibility of the occurrence of an advantageous state is different.
When executing the second effect, the gist is configured not to simultaneously start light emission to a plurality of transparent panels, but to sequentially start light emission.

Thus, the plate surface side can be made to emit light for each transparent panel by laminating the plurality of transparent panels in the thickness direction and causing the luminous body disposed to face the outer peripheral end face of each transparent panel to emit light. That is, by changing the transparent panel to be lighted, it is possible to change the effect mode of the light emission effect, and it is possible to perform various light emission effects. In addition, a laminate is provided between the laminated transparent panels to prevent transmission of light emitted from the outer peripheral end face of the transparent panels to the side of another laminated transparent panel, thereby making the transparent panel unintended. Can be prevented from emitting light. As a result, it is possible to enhance the sense of surprise to the change of the effect mode of the light emission effect and improve the interest of the game.
Further, by configuring the plurality of transparent panels to emit light in the advance presentation effect, it is possible to increase interest in the change of the aspect of the emission presentation effect. Further, by changing the degree of expectation in which the advantageous state is generated by changing the transparent panel that emits light, the interest for the light emission of the transparent panel can be enhanced, and the interest of the game can be improved.
In addition, the first transparent panel and the second transparent panel make it possible to have a variety of light emission effects. In addition, since the design of the second transparent panel is visible from the front side by the introduction of light from the outer peripheral end face, the design formed on the second transparent panel inhibits the light emission effect by the first transparent panel. There is nothing to do.
In addition, since light transmitted from the outer peripheral end face of the transparent panel is prevented from being transmitted to the side of another laminated transparent panel, it is possible to prevent an unintended transparent panel from emitting light.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to diversify the effect mode of the light emission effect and improve the interest of the game

  In the pachinko machine 10, the plurality of types of LEDs 48a, 48b, 54, 59 provided in the first start winning device 26 emit light or blink according to the symbol variation effect or the big hit effect performed by the symbol display device 18 The interest of the game is enhanced by the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26.

(On the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26)
In the first start winning device 26, when the first LED 48a of the first light emitting substrate 48 emits light, the light transmitting member 57 housed in the housing member 38 is illuminated from the back side and formed on the light transmitting member 57 The lighted design 57a is displayed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, since the first LEDs 48a are accommodated and disposed in each of the illumination chambers 47 defined by the light shielding member 45, each first LED 48a accommodated and disposed in the illumination chambers 47 is individually By controlling the light emission, it is possible to change the light emission area of the light transmitting member 57 on which the design 57a is displayed, and to achieve diversification of the light emission effect. Further, when the second LED 48b of the first light emitting substrate 48 emits light, the outside of the light transmitting member 57 is illuminated from the back side, and the outside of the design 57a which is displayed by the first LED 48a is illuminated and decorated. Can improve. Since the second LED 48b is disposed outside the light shielding member 45 as shown in FIG. 7, the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 is not illuminated by the light emitted from the second LED 48b. It is possible to prevent the design 57a from being illuminated when not.

  When the third LED 54 emits light in a state in which the first and second LEDs 48a and 48b are turned off, the light emitted from the third LED 54 is introduced into the inside from the lower outer peripheral surface of the first transparent panel 55, The entire first transparent panel 55 emits surface light. As a result, the first symbol D1 formed on the decorative symbol display member 56 is displayed in a luminous manner. In this case, since the first laminate 58 is disposed between the first transparent panel 55 and the light transmitting member 57, the light introduced into the first transparent panel 55 is the light transmitting member 57. Permeation to the side is prevented. That is, the design 57 a of the light transmitting member 57 is prevented from being displayed by light emission by the light of the third LED 54, and the light emission display is displayed behind the first pattern D 1 displayed by light emission on the front side of the first transparent panel 55. It can prevent that 1st design D1 becomes inconspicuous by 57a overlapping.

  Next, when the fourth LED 59 emits light in a state in which the first and second LEDs 48 a and 48 b and the third LED 54 are turned off, the light emitted from the fourth LED 59 is from the outer peripheral surface on the lower side of the second transparent panel 60 After being introduced to the inside, the second design D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is displayed in a luminous manner so as to be raised. In this case, since the second laminate 61 is disposed between the second transparent panel 60 and the decorative symbol display member 56, the light introduced into the second transparent panel 60 is the decorative symbol display. Permeability to the member 56 side is prevented. That is, the first symbol D1 of the decorative symbol display member 56 is prevented from being displayed by light emission by the light of the fourth LED 59, and the first symbol D1 is displayed behind the second symbol D2 which is indicated by light emission in the second transparent panel 60. The second symbol D2 can be prevented from becoming inconspicuous by being displayed by light emission and overlapping.

  Since the second symbol D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 can be viewed from the front side by introducing light from the outer peripheral end face, the second symbol D2 arbitrarily emits light by turning on / off the fourth LED 59 It can be displayed, and variations in the light emission effect become possible. In the state where the fourth LED 59 is turned off, the second symbol D2 of the second transparent panel 60 is not displayed by light emission, so that the second symbol D2 is said first transparent in a state where light is not introduced from the outer peripheral end face The light emission effect of the first design D1 by the panel 55 and the light emission effect by the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 by the first LED 48a are not inhibited. Moreover, since the second laminated body 61 prevents the light irradiated from the outer peripheral end face from transmitting to the back side, the second symbol D2 is lighted and displayed when the third LED 54 is turned off and the fourth LED 59 is turned on. It is possible to enhance the unexpectedness of the occasion.

  In the first start winning device 26 of the embodiment, two transparent panels 55 and 60 are stacked in the thickness direction, and the LEDs 54 and 59 arranged to face the outer peripheral end face of each transparent panel 55 and 60 individually emit light. Thus, the plate surface side can be made to emit light for each of the transparent panels 55, 60. That is, by changing the transparent panels 55 and 60 to emit light, it is possible to change the effect mode of the light emission effect, and it is possible to perform various light emission effects. Further, the second laminated body 61 is disposed between the laminated transparent panels 55 and 60, and the first laminated body 58 is disposed between the first transparent panel 55 and the light transmitting member 57. Since it is made to prevent that the light irradiated from the perimeter end face of 60 is transmitted to the other transparent panels 55 and 60 and the light transmission member 57 side, transparent panels 55 and 60 and the light transmission member 57 which are not intended Can be prevented from emitting light. As a result, it is possible to enhance the sense of surprise to the change of the effect mode of the light emission effect and improve the interest of the game.

  In the first start winning device 26 of the embodiment, the first to fourth LEDs 48a, 48b, 54, 59 disposed in the winning device 26 individually emit light, so that the plate surface side of the transparent panels 55, 60 is illuminated. It is possible to switch between a light emission effect mode in which the first symbol D1 and the second symbol D2 are caused to emit light and a light emission effect mode in which the design 57a displayed on the light transmitting member 57 is visible from the plate surface It is possible to diversify the effects. In addition, it is possible to superimpose on the light emission effect which enables the design 57a displayed by the light emitted from the first LED 48a to be visible by making the light emission effect to make the plate surface side of the transparent panels 55 and 60 emit light. Is possible. Furthermore, since the second design D2 of the second transparent panel 60 can be viewed from the front side by introducing light from the outer peripheral end face, in a state where light is not introduced from the outer peripheral end face, the second pattern D2 is irradiated from the first LED 48a When the light emission effect for displaying the design 57a displayed by light is performed alone, the light emission effect is not inhibited by the second symbol D2 of the second transparent panel 60.

  Since the inner surface of the surrounding wall portion 56b covering a portion other than the outer peripheral end face on the lower side of the first transparent panel 55 in the decorative symbol display member 56 is configured as a light reflecting surface, light introduced from the outer peripheral end face on the lower side The luminous intensity of the first transparent panel 55 can be improved, and the first design D1 of the decorative symbol display member 56 can be luminously displayed with strong light. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a second light passage opening 56c is opened in a portion of the surrounding wall 56b opposite to the lower side of the ball receiving portion 38a, and light of a part of the plurality of third LEDs 54 is formed. The axis is set to face the second light passage opening 56c. As a result, the light introduced into the interior from the outer peripheral end face of the first transparent panel 55 is rolled by the pachinko ball which wins from the first start winning opening 26a via the second light passage opening 56c. The bottom surface can be illuminated, and the effect of light emission can be improved. That is, by causing the third LED 54 to emit light, a light receiving effect by the light emission of the first transparent panel 55, and a ball receiving portion which is a ball rolling portion of a pachinko ball which has won the first start winning opening 26a focused by the player The light emission effect by the light emission of 38 a can be realized simultaneously.

  Further, in the first start winning device 26 of the embodiment, the first light passing opening is formed in the portion of the outer peripheral wall 45 a of the light shielding member 45 facing the lower side of the rear ball passage 49 a provided in the substrate support member 49. Since the portion 45b is opened (see FIG. 6), when the first LED 48a emits light, the rear ball passage 49a is illuminated with light leaked from each illumination chamber 47 through the first light passage opening 45b. be able to. That is, by emitting light of the first LED 48a, a light emitting effect of displaying the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 by light emission and a ball rolling portion of a pachinko ball winning the first start winning opening 26a at which the player pays attention. It is possible to simultaneously realize the light emission effect by the light emission of a certain rear side ball passage 49a.

  Next, in the case where the light emission effect of the first start winning device 26 is used as a unit effect of continuous notice effect, the number of times the continuous notice effect is performed is four, and the light emission color is "blue" → "yellow" → "green This will be described in the case where it is determined in the order of “red”.

  When the control device 20 decides to execute the continuous advance notice effect based on the pre-read effect information, the oldest start hold information stored in the control device 20 at the determination time of the continuous advance effect is changed at the start of start change information at start time In the symbol variation rendition performed as, the control device 20 displays an image prompting the operation of the operation button 19 and sets an operation valid period in which the operation of the operation button 19 is validated. When an operation signal of the operation button 19 is input to the control device 20 within the operation valid period, the control device 20 controls the first LED 48 a mounted on the first light emitting substrate 48 to emit light. Thereby, as described above, the design 57a of the light transmitting member 57 is displayed in a light emission manner. Also, the unit effect of the first change of the continuous advance notice effect is executed. That is, since "blue" is determined for the light emission color as the unit effect of the first change, the third LED 54 emits light in the first start winning device 26 and the first transparent panel 55 is in blue. By emitting light, the first symbol D1 of the decorative symbol display member 56 is displayed in a blue color. In addition, when the operation signal of the operation button 19 is input to the control device 20, the control device 20 performs the effect that the lightning falls from the upper side to the lower side in the display unit of the symbol display device 18 By controlling 18, it is possible to improve the interest of the effect in combination with the effect that the design 57a is displayed by light emission.

  Next, in the second variation unit effect of the continuous advance presentation effect performed as the start / up suspension information of the second oldest start pending information stored in the control device 20 at the determination time of the continuous advance presentation effect, the light emission color is Since "yellow" is determined, the third LED 54 emits light in yellow in the first start winning device 26, and the first transparent panel 55 emits light in yellow, and the first symbol D1 emits light in yellow. Be done. Similarly, in the third variation unit effect of the continuous advance presentation effect performed as the fluctuation start time start on-hold information as the third oldest start hold information stored in the control device 20 at the determination time of the continuous advance notice effect, the light emission color is Since "green" is determined, the third LED 54 emits light in green in the first start winning device 26, and the first transparent panel 55 emits light in green, and the first symbol D1 emits light in green. Be done. When the light emission color is "blue", "yellow", "green", the same first symbol D1 is lighted and displayed, but the change in the light emission color makes it possible to expect that the jackpot is won You can enjoy

  Then, in the unit effect of the continuous fluctuation effect (the fourth fluctuation) of the continuous notice effect, “red” is determined for the light emission color, so the fourth LED 59 emits light in red in the first start winning device 26, The second symbol D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is displayed with light emission so as to float out in red. That is, since the light emission color changes and the pattern to be displayed is also changed, it is possible to enhance the interest of the light emission effect.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the expectation for displaying the big hit is different depending on the type of light emission color in the light emission effect executed by the first start winning device 26, and the light emission color is displayed by the light emission color The symbols D1 and D2 (transparent panels 55 and 60) are also configured to be different. Therefore, it is possible to increase the interest in the types of transparent panels 55 and 60 that emit light in the light emission effect in the continuous advance notice effect, and to improve the interest of the game. In addition, since the light emission color is changed in the continuous notice effect, that is, the change in the light emission of the transparent panels 55 and 60 is set to increase the expectation for displaying the big hit, the light emission transparent panels 55 and 60 are emitted. To increase interest in the type of game and to enhance the interest of the game.

  In the case where the first transparent panel 55 emits a surface light, the first symbol D1 formed of the transparent portion in the decorative symbol display member 56 is displayed while the second transparent panel 60 emits light. The second symbol D2 formed on the second transparent panel 60 is displayed in a luminous manner so that the second symbol D2 floats out. As described above, since the light emission effect is different depending on the type of the transparent panels 55 and 60 to be emitted, the light emission effect with variation is possible. In addition, since the type of the light-emitting transparent panels 55 and 60 changes, the expectation for displaying the big hit is also increased, so that the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when it is decided to execute the continuous notice effect, the light emitting member 57 is formed by emitting light by the first LED 48a before the transparent panels 55 and 60 emit light. Since the design 57a is displayed so as to emit light, interest can be drawn to the notice effect using the transparent panels 55 and 60 to be performed subsequently, and the interest of the game can be improved.
