Abstract:
1. A gaming terminal comprising: a notification unit including a display unit; a lever-type operation device configured to receive an operation of a player and that is provided below the display unit; a support mechanism which rotatably supports the operation device at one end portion of the operation device and includes a restriction member configured to restrict rotation of the operation device, the restriction member being positioned so that the operation device abuts the restriction member when the operation device is inclined at a first angle as a result of the rotation, the support mechanism being configured to allow the lever-type operation device to be inclined in a forward direction that is a direction toward the display unit and a backward direction that is a direction away from the display unit; an inclination detecting mechanism which detects an angle of inclination of the operation device; and a controller which causes the notification unit to output a predetermined sound and/or to give a visual indication in order to give a warning to the player when the angle of inclination of the operation device detected by the inclination detecting mechanism is greater than a second angle which is equal to or greater than the first angle, wherein the controller causes the notification unit to output the predetermined sound and/or to give the visual indication when a predetermined period of time has elapsed from a point of time when the angle of inclination of the operation device detected by the inclination detecting mechanism exceeds the second angle.
