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 the fluctuating display, and lighting display means that display lighting effects in which the state of illumination changes during the display of the fluctuating display, and the entertainment value for the player 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 body provided to the frame so as to be openable and closable, and a predetermined area visible from a viewing section provided on the door body, wherein the machine comprises a variation display means capable of performing a variation display in the predetermined area 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, wherein the machine is capable of performing a predetermined lottery when predetermined starting conditions are met, and when the result of the predetermined lottery is a predetermined result, the variation display means performs a predetermined variation display, and the machine is capable of granting a benefit after the predetermined variation display ends, wherein the door body is equipped with a light performance means capable of displaying a light performance in which the visible light state can change, at least during the variation display period, and the gaming machine is capable of allowing players The gaming machine is configured to output predetermined decorative image information so that, when the gaming machine is viewed from outside the gaming machine, 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 effects means in the gaming machine, and the decorative image information is configured so 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 effects means of the door of the gaming machine when the player views the light-emitting effects means of the door of the gaming machine from a predetermined position on the front side of the gaming machine, and the gaming machine is configured such that, when the decorative image is displayed on the predetermined decorative image display surface, the decorative image has an opaque portion which is made of an opaque image that is not visible on at least the back side. 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.
