During a slot machine game, game effects are also displayed on a liquid
crystal panel 39d provided in a reel display window unit 39, and thus the
liquid crystal panel 39d serves as a new machine component for performing
game effects. Therefore, new effects for the game can be performed on the
liquid crystal panel 39d, which facilitates maintaining the novelty of
game effects. Furthermore, since the reel glass base 39b is
black-colored, any light incident on the reel glass base 39b is not easy
to be reflected on the liquid crystal panel 39d. Consequently no light
incident on the reel glass base 39b is mirrored into the liquid crystal
panel 39d.
