Abstract:
The present invention provides a gaming machine where players can play without giving them a sense of unfairness or suspicion and it is possible to identify die spots with a comparatively simple and uncomplicated structure. A gaming machine involving the present invention is characterized as a gaming machine comprising a die, a die container and a means of turning, the body of the die having transparency and the spot display panels formed on each face of the die having light shielding properties, the die container comprising a die shaker and a die slide where the die shaker is connected to the die slide in order to enable the die to move between the die shaker and the die slide, the die shaker has transparency, part of the die slide has light shielding properties, the die slide can slide without the die rolling, the means of turning turns the die container and comprises a motor and a plurality of gears connected to the motor. A means of reading comprising a light sensor is disposed on the bottom surface of the die slide, a means of illumination is disposed on the upper surface of the die slide, the die shaken in the die shaker is designed to stop in the prescribed position of the die slide that has light shielding properties, the means of illumination is disposed on the No. 1 face equating to the spots on the die stopped in the prescribed position and the means of reading is disposed on the No. 2 face opposite the No. 1 side, and the spots on the die are identified based on information obtained by the means of reading.
