ILLUMINATED BEZEL FOR A GAMING MACHINE

摘要

A gaming system includes an outcome display device and a reel bezel assembly. The reel bezel assembly includes a bezel encompassing the outcome display device. The bezel includes a light pipe that extends between a proximal end and a distal end of the bezel, where the proximal end is closer to a player position in front of the gaming machine and the distal end is immediately adjacent to the outcome display device. A light source emits light directed at the proximal end of the bezel that propagates through the light pipe and illuminates the bezel. The bezel is made from a light-transmissive material and has a front surface facing the player position and a reflective rear surface. The bezel may also include light windows in the rear surface allowing one or more light sources to provide light emitted directly onto the outcome display device transversely through the bezel.

主权项

1. A reel bezel assembly for a gaming machine, the gaming machine including an outcome display device, the assembly comprising:
a bezel encompassing the outcome display device, the bezel forming a light pipe extending between proximal and distal ends of the bezel, the proximal end being closer to a player position in front of the gaming machine than the distal end, the distal end being immediately adjacent to the outcome display device; and a light source arranged to emit light directed at the proximal end of the bezel such that the light passes through the light pipe and illuminates the bezel.
