The present invention relates to a display device comprising at least one display unit and an illumination device for illuminating an edge region of the at least one display unit. The invention further relates to a method for operating such a display device and to an entertainment device comprising such a display device. The display device according to the invention comprises, in addition to the at least one display unit and the illumination device, at least one determination means for determining a color information from an image block of the at least one display unit, and further comprises a color control means for controlling the color and/or color spectrum of the light emitted by the illumination device as a function of the color information. The color information can be obtained from the light which is actually emitted by the display unit in said image block, for which a light detection device having an observation region that is limited to the image block can be provided.

Display device and method for operating such a display device

A gaming and/or entertainment device, in the form of a coin or token-operated slot machine and/or gambling device, having a plurality of separate display units for displaying game information. At least one of the display units is provided with a touch panel for inputting control commands by touch. The touch panel is of continuous design over, in each case, at least part of at least two different display units, at least one display unit of which has a concave display surface. As a result of the touch panel extending over the boundary region or the intermediate space between two display units, it is possible, despite the use of a plurality of display units, to obtain a continuously closed-off device front. The design of the corresponding device wall is simplified and the protection against penetration into the housing at gap areas is increased.

Electronic gaming and/or entertainment device

The present disclosure relates to a display device comprising at least two display units as well as an illuminating device for illuminating a transition area between the at least two display units. The disclosure further relates to a method of operating such a display device as well as an entertainment machine comprising such a display device.

Display device and method for illuminating an edge area thereof

A lighting system including a lighting panel, wherein at least one light source, assigned to a narrow side of the lighting panel, is provided for coupling light into the lighting panel. The lighting system also includes a reflector facing a flat side of the lighting panel, wherein the flat side of the lighting panel facing the reflector and/or the reflector and/or an intermediate layer between the reflector and the lighting panel is provided with a surface structure. The surface structure is formed as a line grid made of continuous and intersecting grid lines. According to the lighting system, a high level of homogenization of the light emission from the lighting panel can be achieved in a simple manner. In this way, in particular, greater transmission losses in the edge regions of the lighting panel are prevented.

Lighting system

A terminal system including a device terminal () and an operator seat () which can be connected together and both having energy and/or signal coupling parts () and mechanical positioning coupling parts () that are coupled to each other by pushing together the seat () and terminal (), the positioning coupling parts () including separately formed vertical and horizontal positioning means for orienting the seat () with respect to the terminal (), the vertical positioning means () having a clearance in the horizontal direction transversely to the coupling and decoupling direction () and the horizontal positioning means () having a clearance () in the vertical direction, the vertical positioning means () and/or the horizontal positioning means () each having at least two pairs of coupling pieces () transversely spaced apart with respect to a longitudinal center plane through the seat () and/or the terminal ().

Terminal system

An illuminated frame system for framing a display unit, such as a screen and the like, comprises a frame on which lighting means, preferably in the form of LEDs, are arranged. An illuminated frame system of this kind may advantageously be used in gaming devices which have at least one screen.

Illuminated frame system

The present invention relates generally to a gaming and/or entertainment device having at least one screen which is adjustably arranged at a device panel. In this respect, the invention in particular relates to a multigame table having a plurality of player positions at which one respective screen is arranged at a table panel and/or desk panel. In accordance with the invention, the at least one screen is adjustable between a lowered position lowered into the device panel substantially without projecting over the device panel and an operating position protruding out of the device panel. The lowered position can in particular serve as an idle position in which the respective screen is so-to-say not in the way and a substantially planar device surface, in particular a table surface, can be provided. In the named lowered position, the screen can optionally be lowered beneath the device panel and the corresponding cut-out can be closed by a cover. Preferably, however, the screen in the named lowered position is lowered substantially flush with the panel surface.

Gaming and/or entertainment device

The present invention relates to an illuminated frame system for framing a display unit, such as a screen and the like, comprising a frame on which lighting means, preferably in the form of LEDs, are arranged. An illuminated frame system of this kind may advantageously be used in gaming devices which have at least one screen.

A game and/or entertainment device, more particularly in the form of a coin operable or token operable gaming machine and/or gambling device with multiple separate display units for presenting information, more particularly game contents and/or game information, wherein at least one of the display units is furnished with a touch panel for inputting control commands by touching. The touch panel is formed continuously over at least one part of each of at least two different display units. By extending the touch panel across the boundary region or intermediate space between two display units, it is possible to achieve a continuously closed off front of the device, despite the use of multiple display units, whereby the structure of the corresponding device wall is simplified and the security against intrusion into the housing at gaps is increased.

Electronic game and/or entertainment device

The present invention relates to a gaming machine and/or entertainment machine, in particular in the form of slot machines and/or gambling machines operable by coins and/or by monetary equivalents, having a plurality of screens for the presentation of information, in particular of game contents and/or of game information, which are directed toward a machine operating position, and having a control device for the control of the screens and/or for the control of game procedures. It is proposed to arrange a plurality of screens staggered behind one another and overlapping one another so that the viewing window onto at least one screen remains behind the actual screen surface of the screen with respect to format and/or size in order to accommodate a maximum number of screens in a compact arrangement, on the one hand, and in order not to be restricted to the desired field of view with respect to the formats of the screens to be used. Provision is made in accordance with the invention that at least one of the screens is arranged partly or fully hidden behind at least one further screen viewed from the machine operating position.

Electronic gaming machine

A device for inserting bank notes into a bank note processing device. The bank note processing device has a main body, a support surface for supporting a bank note to be inserted on a flat side, and at least one lateral positioning edge for laterally positioning the slot on the bank note processing device and/or for connecting the slot to the bank processing device in an accurately fitting manner. The device for inserting bank notes into a bank note processing device is characterized by a setting mechanism for variably setting the position of the positioning edge transversely to the insertion direction of the bank note through the slot.
