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 body provided to be openable and closable with respect to the frame, and a predetermined region visible from a viewing section provided on the door body, wherein the gaming machine comprises a variable display means capable of performing a variable 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 variable display, and a benefit granting means capable of granting a corresponding benefit when the variable display is completed, wherein the gaming 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 variable display means performs a predetermined variable display, and after the predetermined variable display is completed, a benefit granting is performed, 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 period of variable display, and the gaming machine provides a predetermined decorative image surface that is different from the variable display means and predetermined display performance means in a situation where a player views the gaming machine from outside the gaming machine, The game machine is configured to output decorative image information so that it can be displayed on the display surface and seen, and the decorative image information is configured such that, when a decorative image is displayed on a predetermined decorative image display surface, the decorative image can be displayed in a position that avoids the front side of the game machine of the door's light-emitting effect means when a player views the game machine's door from a predetermined position on the front side of the game machine, and the game machine is configured such that, at least during the variation display, the predetermined decorative image displayed on the predetermined decorative image display surface can be displayed so as to be movable from at least a first position to a second position, and when a predetermined decorative image is displayed on the predetermined decorative image display surface, the game machine is configured so that, regardless of whether the predetermined decorative image is displayed at the first position, the second position, or an intermediate position between the first and second positions, it can be displayed in a position that avoids the front side of the game machine of the door's light-emitting effect means. 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.
