Linked production lottery for whether or not linked production will be performed, linked production lottery for whether or not linked production will be performed, or whether or not linked production of movable accessory 570 and light guide plate 540 will be performed When it is decided to perform the linked effect, the linked effect is performed, and when it is determined not to perform the linked effect, the other effects are executed without performing the linked effect.

  In addition, the linked production lottery for performing the linked production in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are linked, and the linked production lottery for performing the linked production in which the movable tool 570 and the image display device 84 are linked, Both lotteries may be performed, or the linked production lottery determined by the lottery may be performed by performing the lottery of which linked production lottery is performed. Only one linked production lottery determined in advance according to the result of the lottery or the game state may be performed.

Here, in the case where the AT transition lottery is won, it is set so that it is easier for the lottery to determine the linked effect than in the case where the AT lottery is not won.
Thereby, it is suggested that when the interlocking effect is executed, the expectation that the privilege is given to the player is higher than when the interlocking effect is not executed.

In addition, it is not limited to the case where the lottery is performed at the end of the CZ, and the interlocking effect may be executed when an effect that informs the player that some kind of privilege is to be given is performed.
For example, when a CZ transition lottery or an AT transition lottery, which will be described later, is won, an interlocking effect may be executed.

(About combination of symbols for roles)
Next, although not shown in the drawings, the winning combinations drawn by the winning lottery means 210 will be described.
Specifically, as a bonus transition combination, a combination of symbols such as “BE, BE, W1” in the order of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, and the right rotation reel 68 (hereinafter the same), a replay combination As a combination of symbols such as “RP, BE, RP”, as a role of CH (cherry), as a combination of symbols such as “CH, any, any”, as a role of WM (watermelon), “W1 , W1, W1 ", etc., a combination of symbols such as" RP, BE, W1 "is provided as a WM combination and BE combination (Bell combination).
Here, the CH combination (cherry combination) and the WM combination (watermelon combination) are set as so-called rare combinations with low winning probabilities.
Note that “any” means that the type of the symbol does not matter.

  In addition, as a result of the role lottery, a plurality of roles are set to win simultaneously (overlapping wins), and the combination of the winning combinations is determined by the pressing order of the stop switch 50 at the same time. Is set to

(Description of gaming state using FIG. 16)
Next, the “gaming state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “game state” is managed by the main control means 200, and as shown in FIG. 16, there are “normal game”, “RT game”, and “bonus game”. “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when “RT game” is entered, a lottery probability of winning a re-game player, that is, a re-game probability increases.

The “normal game” is controlled by the normal game control means 251 and includes “RT0” and “RT1”.
“RT0” is a game state in which the user stays after changing the setting at the time of factory shipment.
From “RT0” to “RT1”, the transition is made when the AT role spilling symbol which is the RT1 transition symbol, the so-called bell spilling symbol, is stopped and displayed. Here, “AT role spilled symbol” is not shown, but for example, when the middle first stop is won as the correct role, and the push order is incorrect (stop switch 50 left first operation or right first operation) It is a symbol stopped and displayed. In “RT0”, the pressing order is not notified, and the player basically operates the stop switch 50 in the first left stop in many cases. In this case, for example, when the winning combination with the correct middle first stop is displayed, the AT role spilling symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT1”.

“RT game” is controlled by the RT control means 252, and there is “RT2” having a higher probability of winning a re-game player than “normal game”.
Here, the transition from “normal game” to “RT game”, specifically, from “RT1” to “RT2”, is performed when the RT2 transition symbol, the so-called promoted replay symbol, is stopped and displayed. For example, although not shown, when the RT2 transition symbol is stopped and displayed during the correct answer of the push order replay combination, the transition is made.

  Further, when the RT1 symbol such as the AT role spilled symbol or the fall replay symbol is stopped and displayed in “RT2”, the process shifts to “RT1”. Here, as described above, the “AT role spilled design” is, for example, when the middle first stop is won as the correct role, and the push order is incorrect (stop switch 50 left first operation or right first operation). It is a symbol stopped and displayed. For example, in the “RT2” game state, the push order is notified in the ART game of FIG. 17, but when the AT game ends, the push order is not notified, and the player basically sets the stop switch 50 to the left first. It is often operated by stopping. In this case, for example, when the winning combination with the correct middle first stop is displayed, the AT role spilling symbol is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT1”.

The “bonus game” is controlled by the bonus game control means 253, and shifts by aligning “bonus symbols” (a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to bonus transition combinations).
In the present embodiment, the “bonus game” is a challenge bonus (CB), and the “bonus game” is completed in one game, and then the process shifts to “RT0”.
The “bonus game” is not limited to the challenge bonus (CB), but may be a game in which a so-called “BB” continuously operates and ends when a predetermined number of medals, for example, 280, are paid out. .

(Description of production state using FIG. 17)
As shown in FIG. 17, the production state includes “general section” and “special section”.
Here, the “normal performance state” is the game state performance state of “RT0” and “RT1” (mainly “RT1”) in FIG. 16, and the “AT state” is “RT1”, “RT2” ( This is an effect state of a game state of “RT2”).
Also, the “ART ready state” to be described later in the “AT state” is an effect state of the gaming state of “RT1”, and the “ART state” is an effect state of the gaming state of “RT2”.

(General section)
The “general section” is a section excluding a “special section” to be described later, and is a section that does not permit notification of a small-comb push order accompanied by a payout of medals.
As the “general section”, there is a “normal performance state”.
The type and number of “general sections” are not limited to those described above.
Moreover, the transition conditions of each effect state are not limited to what is mentioned later.

(Normal production state)
The “normal performance state” is a state excluding special states such as “CZ (chance zone)” and “AT state” in a “special section” to be described later.
In the present embodiment, when the predetermined transition opportunity is satisfied during the normal performance state, in the present embodiment, when the CZ transition lottery is won based on the winning lottery performed by the role lottery means 210, “CZ” of the “special section” Transition to "Status".

  When shifting from the “general section” to the “special section”, first, the “special section” is shifted to the “CZ state”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the “CZ state” is not passed. It is also possible to shift to the “AT state”.

In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that triggers the CZ transition lottery is set so that there is no difference due to the set value.
That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.
Further, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that becomes a trigger when the state is shifted to the “AT state” without passing through the “CZ state” is also set so as not to differ depending on the set value.

(Special section)
The “special section” is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the “general section”, and is a section that allows notification of the pushing order of the small part accompanied by the payout of medals.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the “special section” is performed by the role lottery means 210 when the transition to the “special section” is determined by satisfying a predetermined transition opportunity in the “general section” as described above. It starts from the next game when the CZ transition lottery is won based on the winning combination of the role lottery.

In the “special section”, an instruction relating to a combination of symbols related to winning in which the maximum payout number is obtained at least once is to be given.
For example, when the small combination related to the maximum payout number among the plurality of small combinations is “BE combination”, the order of pressing “BE combination” is notified at least once in the special section.

(CZ (Chance Zone))
CZ (chance zone) is a state with a high possibility of shifting to the AT state from the normal performance state.
Here, “high possibility of shifting” includes not only the case where the lottery probability of the AT transfer lottery is high but also the case where the lottery probability of the role that triggers the AT shift lottery is high.

In the present embodiment, the CZ is composed of 32 games, and within the 32 games, the lottery to shift to the AT state (AT transfer lottery) is performed based on the winning combination of the role lottery performed by the role lottery means 210.
Then, if the AT transition lottery is won, the game shifts to the AT state after the CZ 32 game digestion, and if not, the CZ shifts to the normal performance state after the 32 game digestion.

  In the present embodiment, at the end of the CZ, the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked based on the lottery probabilities determined in advance depending on whether the AT transition lottery is won or not. The linked production lottery is performed, and the linked production lottery of whether or not the linked production in which the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 are linked is executed. If it is determined that the linked production is not performed, the other production is performed without performing the linked production.

In addition, when winning the AT transition lottery, the game is not limited to the case of shifting to the AT state after the CZ 32 games are exhausted, and the game may be shifted to the AT state from the next game won in the AT transition lottery.
The CZ is not limited to 32 games. For example, the CZ is continued until the above-mentioned small combination relating to the maximum payout number is won or until a predetermined falling symbol is won. May be. In this case, the player may be made to recognize as if the player has transitioned to the normal performance state by starting the performance in the normal performance state when the 32 games are consumed.

(AT state)
The “AT state” is an example of an advantageous game that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal performance state”. When the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the push order of the selected small role is notified is started. By operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified pressing order, the combination of symbols of the winning small combination and re-playing combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.
Then, the “AT state” and the gaming state “RT” in FIG.

In the present embodiment, the “AT state” is a game whose end condition is to consume 50 games per set. Then, when 50 games are consumed, AT continuous lottery is performed by the AT control means 270, and when the AT continuous lottery is won, the AT state of 50 games per set is continued again, and the AT continuous lottery is not won. In this case, the “AT state” is terminated and the process returns to the “normal production state”. When the “AT state” is ended, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is ended, and when the RT0 symbol is displayed, the gaming state shifts to “RT0” and “RT” ends. That is, the RT0 symbol is displayed when the left first stop and middle first stop are selected as incorrect answers, and the push order is “wrong answer” (stop switch 50 is operated with left first stop and middle first stop). The symbol 61 is displayed in a stopped state. Since the AT is finished, the push order is not notified, and the player operates the stop switch 50 at the first left stop, so the RT0 symbol is stopped and displayed even if he wins the bell role, and the process shifts to “RT0”. To do.
If 1500 games have been consumed since the start of the “special section” before the number of games in the “AT state” has been consumed, the “AT state” is terminated without waiting for the number of games in the “AT state” to be consumed. Then, the process proceeds to the “normal production state”.

(Example of production)
An example of an effect using the light guide plate 540 will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, FIG. 18A shows a state where the first light emitting means 521 does not emit light.
This state is a state in which it is difficult to visually recognize the characters “ON AIR” that is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550.

FIG. 18B shows a state where the second light emitting means 522 emits light.
This state is a state in which the characters “LIVE”, which is the image pattern of the diffusing portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560, are visible.

In the state where the second light emitting means 522 in FIG. 18B emits light, the light from the second light emitting means 522 is also applied to the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550.
By combining the states of FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b), it will appear to the player as shown in FIG. 18 (c).
That is, the characters “LIVE”, which is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560, and the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550 are conspicuous as effects for the player.
In FIG. 18C, the state in which the edge portion 551 is irradiated with light is indicated by a bold line.

Next, an example of an effect using the light guide plate 540 will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, FIG. 19A shows a state where the first light emitting means 521 emits light.
This state is a state in which the characters “ON AIR”, which is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550, are visible.
Further, the light that has passed through the first light guide plate 550 reaches the edge portion 551 and is reflected by the edge portion 551, so that the edge portion 551 can also be recognized.

FIG. 19B shows a state where the second light emitting means 522 does not emit light.
Such a state is a state in which it is difficult to visually recognize the characters “LIVE” that is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560.

By combining the states of FIGS. 19A and 19B, the player looks like FIG. 19C.
That is, the characters “ON AIR”, which is the image pattern of the diffusion portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550, and the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550 are conspicuous as effects for the player.

  As described above, the player can visually recognize the case where only the second light emitting means 522 shown in FIG. 18 emits light and the case where only the first light emitting means 521 shown in FIG. 19 emits light. Diffusion parts 554 and 561 are different, but in either case, the light reaches the edge part 551 and the edge part is conspicuous, so that the effect is as if different effects are being executed with one light guide plate. It becomes possible to do.

  In this embodiment, since the diffusing portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the diffusing portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 are provided at positions overlapping in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine, In order to prevent the display from being confused by making the image pattern visible at the same time, both the first light emitting means 521 and the second light emitting means 522 are not lit simultaneously. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be turned on simultaneously. In the case of lighting simultaneously, the positions of the diffusion part 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the diffusion part 561 of the second light guide plate 560 may be provided at positions that do not overlap in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 10, or Interrelated image patterns that can be recognized as an integrated image when the image pattern of the diffusion portion 554 of the first light guide plate 550 and the image pattern of the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 appear to overlap. By doing so, it is desirable that the display is not confused even if it is visible at the same time.

Next, an example of an interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked will be described with reference to FIGS.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, the interlocking effect control unit 321 emits the second light emitting unit 522 without causing the first light emitting unit 521 to emit light while the movable accessory 570 is in the standby position. Then, the light of the second light emitting means 522 is diffused by the diffusion portion 561 of the second light guide plate 560 and irradiated to the edge portion 551 of the first light guide plate 550, thereby making the edge portion 551 stand out, Focus on the edge 551.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21, by driving the left and right motor 583, the movable accessory 570 is moved from the standby position to the advanced position, and the player is informed that the movable accessory 570 moves to the edge portion 551. Perform the production to be recognized.
In such a state, it looks as if the movable accessory 570 itself is lit.
Such an effect is more effective because the shape of the edge portion 551 and the shape of one end portion of the movable accessory 570 in the advanced position are the same as viewed from the front side of the gaming machine 10.

Then, while the second light emitting means 522 is lit, the left and right motors 583 are driven to move the movable accessory 570 from the advanced position to the standby position, so that the movable accessory 570 is in the advanced position. It is possible to produce an effect for the player to recognize and an effect for the player to recognize as if the movable accessory 570 is still in the advanced position.
Further, in such an interlocking effect, the diffusion portion 561 and the movable accessory 570 of the second light guide plate 560 can be visually recognized.
Although the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position after the second light emitting means 522 emits light, the second light emitting means 522 is caused to emit light after the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position. Also good.

Although not shown, an example of an interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked will be described.
In the state where the accessory device 570 is in the standby position, the first light emitting unit 521 is caused to emit light without causing the second light emitting unit 522 to emit light, and the light of the first light emitting unit 521 is directly emitted to the first light guide plate 550. By irradiating the edge portion 551, the edge portion 551 is made conspicuous and attention is paid to the edge portion 551.

Thereafter, by driving the left / right motor 583, the movable accessory 570 is moved from the standby position to the advanced position, and an effect is given to allow the player to recognize that the movable accessory 570 moves to the edge portion 551.
In such a state, it looks as if the movable accessory 570 itself is lit.
Such an effect is more effective because the shape of the edge portion 551 and the shape of one end portion of the movable accessory 570 in the advanced position are the same as viewed from the front side of the gaming machine 10.

Then, the left and right motors 583 are driven while the first light emitting means 521 is lit to move the movable accessory 570 from the advanced position to the standby position, so that the movable accessory 570 is in the advanced position. It is possible to produce an effect for the player to recognize and an effect for the player to recognize as if the movable accessory 570 is still in the advanced position.
Further, in such an interlocking effect, the diffusion portion 554 and the movable accessory 570 of the first light guide plate 550 can be visually recognized.
Although the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position after the first light emitting means 521 emits light, the first light emitting means 521 is caused to emit light after the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position. Also good.

  In addition, when this interlocking production | presentation is performed, it is suggested that the expectation degree which a privilege is given to a player is high compared with the case where an interlocking production is not performed.

Next, although not shown in the drawings, an example in which an interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the light guide plate 540 are interlocked is not executed will be described.
When the light emitting means 520 emits light while the movable accessory 570 is in the standby position, the effect of only the light guide plate 540 (see FIGS. 18 and 19) is executed.
When the movable accessory 570 is moved to the advanced position and the light emitting means 520 is not caused to emit light, an effect that only the movable accessory 570 moves is executed.

An example of an interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 are interlocked will be described with reference to FIGS.
Specifically, the interlocking effect is to display an image interlocked with the movement on the image display device 84 as the movable accessory 570 moves from the standby position to the advance position.
First, as shown in FIG. 22, an image G that clarifies the outline of the movable accessory 570 as an image interlocked with the movement in a state where the movable accessory 570 is in the standby position, for example, one end of the movable accessory 570. The image G that is irradiated with light from the unit is displayed on the image display device 84 to make the movable accessory 570 stand out.

  Then, by driving the left / right motor 583 from the standby position of the movable accessory 570 by the interlocking effect control means 321, the left movable accessory 571 is moved to the right and the right movable accessory 572 is moved to the left. Move to the indicated advance position and stop moving. At the time of such movement, an image G that is displayed on the image display device 84 as an image linked to the movement and that clarifies the outline of the movable accessory 570, for example, light is irradiated from one end of the movable accessory 570. An effect such that the image G as it is pushed out by the movable accessory 570 is displayed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23, an image that makes the outline of the movable accessory 570 clear, for example, an image G that is irradiated with light from one end of the movable accessory 570 is displayed on the image display device 84 as it is. Continuing, it is conspicuous that the movable accessory 570 is in the advanced position.

  After that, the left and right movable accessory 571 is moved in the left and right direction by driving the left and right motor 583, and the right and left movable accessory 572 is moved in the left and right direction, thereby moving the movable accessory 570 as the advance position. You may make it perform the operation | movement which makes a player hold a feeling of expectation by going back and forth in a stand-by position.

24, when the left and right motor 583 is driven to move the movable accessory 570 from the advanced position to the standby position, the movable accessory 570 is moved to the image display device 84 at the same position as the advanced position. By continuing to display the image G that makes the outline of the moving object clear, the effect is as if the movable accessory 570 is still in the advanced position.
In addition, when this interlocking production | presentation is performed, it is suggested that the expectation degree which a privilege is given to a player is high compared with the case where an interlocking production is not performed.

Further, in addition to the interlocking effect in which the movable accessory 570 and the image display device 84 are interlocked, an interlocking effect in which the light guide plate 550 is interlocked may be executed.
That is, when the interlocking effects described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21 are further combined and interlocked, and the movable accessory 570 is in the advanced position, the light emitting means 520 emits light and the edge portion 551 is made more conspicuous. An effect that emphasizes that the movable accessory 570 is in the advanced position can be achieved.
And when this interlocking production | presentation is performed, it may be made to suggest that the expectation degree which a privilege is given to a player is high compared with another interlocking production.

  In addition, the light emission of the first light emitting means 521, the light emission of the second light emitting means 522, the movement of the movable accessory 570, the movement of the up and down moving accessory 590, the display of the image on the image display device 84, Can be executed independently of each other, moving the movable accessory 570 with the first light emitting means 521 emitting light, and moving the movable accessory with the second light emitting means 522 emitting light. It is possible to produce effects in various combinations, such as moving the object 570, or moving the movable accessory 570 in a state where neither the first light emitting means 521 nor the second light emitting means 522 emits light.

(Description of basic flow of game using FIG. 25)
A general game control process executed by the main control unit 200 for each game will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control means 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a prescribed number of bets (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

  In step S12, rotation variation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, when the main control means 200 operates the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotation reel 62 that is rotating, the reel control means 220 causes the rotation reel 62 to The rotation is stopped. The push order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control means 200, It is read in the subsequent processing.

In addition, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 280 of the main control unit 200 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control unit 300. Then, when the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the determination result data of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 230. Note that if the result of the determination is that payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Modification)
Further, as shown in FIG. 26, the first light guide plate 550 is not divided into the left light guide plate 552 and the right light guide plate 553, but is formed by one light guide plate to form a groove-shaped edge portion 551. May be.
The edge portion 551 is not limited to a groove shape having a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 27, and may be a groove shape having a cross-sectional shape or other shapes, or may be penetrated instead of the groove shape. It may be a hole. Moreover, you may make it form not the groove shape but the convex shape protruded from the surface of the light-guide plate.
Further, the cut of the diffusion portion 554 is formed by a groove shallower than the edge portion 551, and is not limited to the V-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 27, but may be a cross-shaped letter shape or other shapes.

  Further, the cut of the diffusion portion 554 is preferably formed so that the diffused light is directed toward the edge portion 551, but is not limited thereto, and the light amount is adjusted so that the light reaches the edge portion 551. Thus, the light does not necessarily have to go directly to the edge portion 551.

As described above, this embodiment has the following effects.
In other words, in the present embodiment, the present invention can produce an effect as if the second light guide plate is provided with an edge portion while producing an effect by irradiating the second light guide plate with light. It is possible to provide an amusement machine rich in interest.
In addition, such an effect can also be realized by providing the second light guide plate with an edge portion similar to the first light guide plate, but it is not necessary to process the edge portion on the second light guide plate, Cost reduction. Furthermore, if the edge portions of the first light guide plate and the second light guide plate are located at the same position, a processing error may occur, and if the processing error is eliminated, there is a problem that productivity decreases. However, it is possible to avoid this effect.

  In the present embodiment, the diffusion portion of the second light guide plate that is visible by the light of the second light emitting means and the edge portion of the first light guide plate irradiated with the light of the second light emitting means are interlocked. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of performing the performance.

In the present embodiment, the edge portion can be irradiated with the light of the second light emitting means diffused by the diffusing unit without directly irradiating the light of the second light emitting unit on the first light guide plate. Can provide a machine.
In addition, it is possible to enhance the effect by providing the light from the second light emitting means to other than the corresponding second light guide plate.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to execute an effect in which the diffusing portion of the second light guide plate and the edge portion of the first light guide plate are interlocked only by controlling the second light emitting means.
For this reason, it is not necessary to control the first light emitting means in order to irradiate the edge portion of the first light guide plate, and the timings of the control of the first light emitting means and the control of the second light emitting means are matched. This eliminates the need to shift the light emission of each light emitting means, eliminates the need for incorporating the control of the first light emitting means, and reduces the processing.

In this embodiment, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of executing an effect in which the light guide plate and the movable accessory are interlocked.
That is, the edge of the first light guide plate is irradiated with light by causing the second light emitting means to emit light without causing the first light emitting means to emit light while the movable accessory is in the standby position. By making the movable part move from the advanced position to the standby position while making the second part light emitting, while making the part stand out and paying attention to the edge part, the movable accessory was in the advanced position It is possible to perform an effect for the player to recognize and an effect for the player to recognize as if the movable accessory is at the advanced position.

In this embodiment mode, a light-emitting element substrate can be shared by a light-emitting unit and an outer light-emitting unit, and a gaming machine capable of reducing costs and saving space can be provided.
Can be provided.
