  • Publication number: 20200184763
    Abstract: There is provided a gaming machine capable of providing diverse type of image representation. The gaming machine 1 includes: a screen unit 10040 whose surface at least partially includes curved portions 10042; and a projector 10020 accommodated inside a casing 2, which is configured to project light to the screen unit 10040. Light projected by the projector 10020 is incident on a back surface side of the screen unit 10040 from the inside of the casing 2. The screen unit 10040 lets the light incident on the back surface side of the screen unit 10040 pass the screen unit 10040, thereby enabling displaying of an image on the front surface side of the screen unit 10040 positioned on the surface of the casing 2.

  • Patent number: 8641506
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an effect with its high entertainment property. Those which are printed in a superimposed manner on the effect panel 813 are: the first picture 813a that is printed in an ordinary manner with the use of color ink (such as silk printing or offset printing, for example); and the second picture 813b that is printed with a polarizing pearl ink with its higher light transmission property than that of color ink. Further, the lamp 813c is disposed on a rear side of the effect panel 813, and light is emitted to a rear face of the effect panel 813 at higher luminance than that of external environmental light in accordance with the progress of game.
