Description
The article pertaining to the design of the subject application
constitutes a type of slot machine game machine. As is shown in
"reference perspective drawing showing the usage state", the
subject article is used by arranging operating buttons and so on in
an operating part and other operating part.
A pattern display part of which the rear side is visible and on
which images can be represented, and an display part for the
representation of images in a section other than the pattern
display part, are provided in a display panel (liquid crystal
monitor or the like) for displaying a main game, and rotating reels
are arranged in the rear of the pattern display part. The pattern
drawn by the rotating reels is visible by way of the pattern
display part, and various representation effects can be produced in
the pattern display part by image control. The image control is
performed in the display part in accordance with the action of the
rotating reels, thereby producing various representation effects.
Furthermore, a range of play information including play history and
jackpot information can be displayed on the display part by the
operation of the player. A second game independent of or auxiliary
to the slot machine game played on the display panel can be
displayed on other display panel together with, for example,
related play information. As is shown in FIG. 6, i.e. a sectional
view taken along line 6--6 in FIG. 1 omitting the interior
mechanism, the other display is arranged to incline downward, and
the visual field in the downward direction is expanded and the
visibility thereof for the player is improved by the incline.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a slot machine showing our new
design;
FIG. 2 is a right side view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a left side view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along ling 6--6 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line 7--7 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 8 is a perspective view thereof; and,
FIG. 9 is a reference perspective view showing a using condition
thereof.
The broken lines are for illustrative purposes only and form no
part of the claimed design.
The portion shown by the solid lines is the claimed design to be
registered as the partial design. The portion to be registered as a
partial design is identified by the all drawings. The ridgelines
shown in the perspective view showing the ridgelines identify
respectively the surface of the three dimensional shape.
