A projection mechanism including a projector emitting projection light by which a game effect image is generated and a projection target mechanism including a projection surface which generates a three-dimensional structure corresponding to a game content, in association with the game effect image generated by projection of the projection light are included.

Gaming machine and effect assemblage of gaming machine

Provided is a presentation effect device capable of providing a new presentation effect in which it is possible to change the state where a player can visibly recognize an object to be visibly recognized to the state where a player can visibly recognize the object without any movable member. A presentation effect device is provided with a plate-like panel, an accommodation space partitioned by the plate-like panel, the accommodation space for accommodating an object to be visibly recognized, and an illumination device for illuminating the object to be visibly recognized by a signal from the outside, wherein the plate-like panel is composed of a beam splitter for dividing incoming light into reflection light and transmitted light.

Presentation effect device for use in gaming machine and gaming machine

A gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: at least one display panel configured to display images of a game, the display panel including a screen facing downward; at least one beam splitter disposed under the display panel and inclined with respect to the screen to partially reflect the images from the display panel into a forward direction; and a controller configured to execute the game and to control the display panel, wherein an image from each of the at least one display panel is reflected by at least one of the at least one beam splitter.

Gaming machine

A gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display panel configured to display images of a game, the display panel including a screen facing downward; a partial mirror disposed under the display panel and inclined with respect to the screen to partially reflect the images from the display panel into a forward direction; a background member disposed rear to the partial mirror such that an image of the background member passes through the partial mirror into the forward direction to overlap the images from the display panel; and a controller configured to execute the game and to control the display panel.

A gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a display panel configured to display images of a game, the display panel including a screen facing downward; a partial mirror disposed under the display panel and inclined with respect to the screen to partially reflect the images from the display panel into a forward direction; and a controller configured to execute the game and to control the display panel.

A gaming machine has an armrest for a player to rest his/her arm(s) thereon. The armrest has a woofer specialized in low-pitched sound output inside the armrest. Vibrations produced with the sound output of the woofer are transmitted to the player through the armrest.

A gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first display panel configured to display game images of a game, the first display panel including a screen facing downward; a plurality of first beam splitters disposed under the first display panel and inclined with respect to the screen to partially reflect the images from the first the display panel into a forward direction; a background image generator disposed rear to the first beam splitters and generating background images, the background images from the background image generator passing through the first beam splitters toward the forward direction to overlap the game images; and a controller configured to execute the game and to control the first display panel.

An image processing device for enlarging an image includes an attribute determining unit, a pattern matching determining unit, and a data selecting unit. The attribute determining unit determines an attribute of each pixel constituting an input image. The pattern matching determining unit determines whether a pattern of the input image, constituted by a target pixel and target-pixel-neighboring pixels that are determined to have the same attribute, matches a predetermined interpolation pattern while assuming each pixels of the input image as the target pixel. The data selecting unit selects pixel data for each of N&#xd7;N pixels, obtained by enlarging the target pixel N-times, on the basis of the result of the matching determination performed by the pattern matching determining unit, where N is an integer equal to or greater than 2.

Image processing device image processing method, and computer program

Game machine

The present invention provides an image processing apparatus and an image processing method. The image processing apparatus includes: a first to a fourth writing FIFO unit and a first to a fourth reading FIFO unit (hereinafter referred to as 'FIFO units') for temporarily retaining image data to write to and read from a data retaining memory; a memory access control unit for performing access to the data retaining memory, the access being requested by the FIFO units; and a writing data control unit for shifting, at all times by a predetermined time, timing of the request made by at least one of the FIFO units to the memory access control unit in comparison with timing of the request made by the other FIFO units to the memory access control unit.
