ABSTRACT:
A gaming machine includes a liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal panel and a light guiding plate placed at the rear of the liquid crystal panel and formed with a light deflection pattern for guiding light emitted from illumination means into the liquid crystal panel, and a variable display device placed at the rear of the liquid crystal display and having a plurality of reels provided in a row. Parts of the light guiding plate to which the reels are opposed are made light transmission areas. The light guiding plate is formed with a first light deflection pattern on the periphery of the light transmission areas and is formed with a second light deflection pattern in a portion more distant from the light transmission areas than the first light deflection pattern. The first light deflection pattern is denser than the second light deflection pattern.
