Abstract:
An operation switch unit attached to a game machine includes a spin button that receives an input operation of an operator, an input detector that detects that the input operation of the operator is performed, and a controller that controls a directional speaker such that the directional speaker emits a directional sound, which does not spread uniformly but has directionality, to the operator as a notification that an operation input is performed based on a detection signal from the input detector.
