Gaming machine candle device

摘要

The present invention relates to a gaming machine candle device. Gaming machines utilize electric "candles" placed thereon to inform patrons of a machine's particular denomination. In other words, yellow signifies a quarter machine and red a nickel machine. The improved candle device described herein uses colored and transparent plastic plates in conjunction with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to more visibly and aesthetically inform patrons. A first transparent colored plate is illuminated to signify the machine's denomination. A second plate behind said first plate is used to inform gaming machine operators of concerns with said machine or player. Said second plate may also display words or logos affiliated with operators, manufacturers or the like. Frosting and beveling techniques along edges and surfaces of said plates cause LED light to refract highlighting those areas. A transparent second plate permits the color of said first plate to be viewed throughout a gaming establishment.
