ABSTRACT:
During a slot machine game, game effects are also displayed on a liquid crystal panel39dprovided in a reel display window unit39, and thus the liquid crystal panel39dserves as a new machine component for performing game effects. Therefore, new effects for the game can be performed on the liquid crystal panel39d, which facilitates maintaining the novelty of game effects. Further, the openings5b, 6band7bare formed corresponding to the rows of the variable displays of the symbols. Accordingly, by means of the light guiding plates39galso located between the opening5band the opening6b, and between the opening6band the opening7b, the light from the cold-cathode tubes40ais guided toward the liquid crystal panel39d. Consequently by means of the liquid crystal panel39din areas between the respective display windows5-7, light luminance can be obtained.
