Game machine and effect producing method for game machine

Abstract

A game machine 10 includes a game board 12 and a glass unit 15 disposed in front of the game board 12. The glass unit 15 contains a luminescent material that emits visible light having a wavelength of 380 to 780 nm by excitation light.

1 . A game machine comprising:
 a game board; and   a glass unit disposed in front of the game board, the glass unit containing a luminescent material that emits visible light having a wavelength of 380 to 780 nm by excitation light.   
     
     
         2 . The game machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a light source that irradiates the glass unit with excitation light.   
     
     
         3 . The game machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the light source irradiates the glass unit with the excitation light from an outer circumferential surface side of the glass unit, or irradiates the glass unit with the excitation light from the game board side. 
     
     
         4 . The game machine according to  claim 2 , wherein the light source is an LED light source or an LD light source capable of irradiating the glass unit with light having an excitation wavelength, or constitutes a projection system. 
     
     
         5 . The game machine according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the glass unit has a multilayer structure in which at least one transparent plate and a resin layer are laminated, and   the resin layer contains a resin and a luminescent material that emits the visible light by an incident excitation light.   
     
     
         6 . The game machine according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the glass unit includes two transparent plates and an interlayer film provided between the two transparent plates, and has a glass structure in which the two transparent plates are bonded via the interlayer film, and   the interlayer film, includes one or more resin layers, and at least one of the resin layers is a light emitting layer containing a resin and a luminescent material that emits the visible light by an incident excitation light.   
     
     
         7 . The game machine according to  claim 1 , wherein when any game operation selected from the group consisting of prize-winning, winning, reaching, losing, occurrence of probability variation, mode change due to change of probability variation, end of probability variation, and end of winning period is performed, a state of light emission of the glass unit is changed. 
     
     
         8 . A presentment method of a game machine including a game board and a glass unit disposed in front of the game board, the glass unit containing a luminescent material that emits visible light having a wavelength of 380 to 780 nm by excitation light, the method comprising:
 irradiating the glass unit with excitation light to emit the visible light.
