GAME MACHINE

To execute a game machine provided with a performance button capable of enhancing a game interest.SOLUTION: A shielding member composed of a light-shielding member is provided between a surface area (an adjacent area) adjacent to a pressing surface a player presses among surface areas of depression members and a panel member. As a game progresses, the shielding member is moved from between the adjacent area and the panel member. Although the panel member is formed by a light transmitting member, the adjacent area becomes invisible from the player in the state that the shielding member is positioned between the panel member and the adjacent area. When the shielding member is moved in this state, the player comes to see an area adjacent to the pressing surface as well as the pressing surface that has been visible. Therefore, it is possible to give the player an impression that the pressing surface is widened. Thus, it is possible to attract attention of a player by surprising the player, so that interest of a game can be enhanced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】遊技の興趣を向上可能な演出ボタンを備えた遊技機を実現可能とする。【解決手段】押下部材の表面領域のうち、遊技者が押下する押下面に隣接する表面領域（隣接領域）とパネル部材との間に、遮光性の部材からなる遮蔽部材を設けておく。遊技の進行にともなって、この遮蔽部材を隣接領域とパネル部材との間から移動させる。パネル部材は透光性の部材で形成されているものの、パネル部材と隣接領域との間に遮蔽部材が位置する状態では、遊技者からは隣接領域が視認不能となる。この状態から遮蔽部材を移動させると、遊技者には、それまで見えていた押下面に加えて、押下面に隣接する領域が見えるようになる。このため、あたかも押下面が広がったかのような印象を遊技者に与えることが可能である。こうすれば、遊技者に驚きを与えて遊技者の興味を引き付けることができ、遊技の興趣を向上させることが可能となる。【選択図】図９
