Description

Conventionally, gaming machines equipped with variable display execution means for displaying multiple patterns in a variable manner are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this gaming machine, when a game ball enters the operating port (start ball entry area), a predetermined lottery such as a jackpot lottery is performed, and the variable display of patterns is started. If, for example, the jackpot lottery is won, the gaming machine will ultimately stop displaying a specific combination of patterns on the variable display execution means, and will transition the game state to a specific control state that is advantageous to the player. In this specific control state, the gaming machine will dispense a large number of game balls by, for example, transitioning the variable prize entry device to a state in which game balls can be entered. Incidentally, such gaming machines are equipped with three-dimensional structures that perform predetermined effects by moving during the display of fluctuations, and lighting display means that display lighting effects in which the state of illumination changes during the display of fluctuations, and the entertainment value for players is enhanced by executing these effects in combination. However, there is a problem in that three-dimensional structures must be prepared for each type of gaming machine. Furthermore, if these three-dimensional structures move during the display process, they can reduce the visibility of other effects, such as light-emitting displays. The objective of this invention is to provide a gaming machine that can enhance the enjoyment of players. The present invention provides a gaming machine comprising: a frame; a door provided to the frame so as to be openable and closable; a predetermined region visible from a viewing section provided on the door; a variation display means capable of performing a variation display in the predetermined region when predetermined starting conditions are met; a predetermined display performance means capable of performing a predetermined display performance in response to the variation display; and a benefit granting means capable of granting a corresponding benefit when the variation display ends; a predetermined lottery can be performed when predetermined starting conditions are met; a predetermined variation display is performed by the variation display means when the result of the predetermined lottery is a predetermined result; and a benefit granting is performed after the predetermined variation display ends, wherein the door is visible at least during the period of variation display. The gaming machine is equipped with a light-emitting effect means capable of displaying a light-emitting effect in which the emitted state can change, and is configured to output decorative image information in order to ensure that the decorative image in the gaming machine is displayed on a predetermined decorative image display surface different from the variable display means and predetermined display effect means in the gaming machine when a player views the gaming machine from outside the gaming machine, and the decorative image information is configured to be information that, when the decorative image is displayed on the predetermined decorative image display surface, the decorative image can be displayed in a position that avoids the front side of the light-emitting effect means of the door of the gaming machine when a player views the light-emitting effect means of the door of the gaming machine from a predetermined position on the front side of the gaming machine. Furthermore, it is preferable that the gaming machine has a designated decorative image display surface that is separate from the gaming machine itself. Furthermore, it is preferable that a predetermined decorative image display surface is provided on the gaming machine. According to the present invention, the gaming machine can enhance the player's enjoyment.
