Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a gaming machine with a glass main door that allows light to pass through and prevents dust and spills from entering. The main door is made of a transparent glass material that can switch between a transparent and opaque state and can be dimmed or shone by a mirror. The glass material can also accumulate light from a game arcade's lamp, allowing the game to be played even at night without consuming electric power. These features improve the cleanliness and durability of the gaming machine, making it more resistant to damage and deterioration.

Problems solved by technology

However, since the material of the cabinet, a resin or metal plate, or the like, which forms the basis of designing, is the same as each other, there is a problem in differentiating oneself from other makers.
Furthermore, the resin or metal plate is ready to deteriorate due to its vulnerability to heat and a scratch.
Thus, there is a problem of maintenance or replacement costs.
