The center of rotation of the motoris the center of the roulette wheel. The LED tapeis provided on the front side of the roulette wheeland emits light. The light guide plateis provided on the front side of the roulette wheel, and the light emitted from the LED tapeis incident thereon. The control unitcontrols the LED tapeso as to switch between a display produced by the light guide plateand a display of the first graphics on the roulette wheelby lighting or not lighting the incident surface of the light guide plate, according to the state of play on a gaming machine

A illumination deviceis attached to a housingof a gaming machine, and comprises LEDsthat emit light, light guide plates, a rotating body, a plate-shaped member, a motor, a lower case, and a control unit. A plurality of light guide platesare attached to the plate-shaped member. The light guide plateseach have an end surfaceon which the light emitted from the LEDsis incident, and a flat surfacefrom which the incident light is emitted. The plate-shaped memberholds the light guide plate. The motorrotates the rotating bodyin the desired direction. The lower caseis provided with the motor, the rotating bodyand the like are connected thereto in a state of being incapable of relative rotation, and the lower caseis installed in the housingof the gaming machine

A pushbutton switch according to one or more embodiment may include a first attachment, an operable portion, and a detector. The first attachment has a loose-fitting hole to loosely receive a locking magnet. The detector includes a switcher that selectively places an attraction magnet or a repulsion magnet at a position facing the locking magnet.

There is provided a push button device with which a support plate can be disposed close to a display screen without providing the support plate with a latching mechanism, and which can be easily attached and detached. The invention comprises a push button device that is inserted into the opening of a transparent plate from the front side, and an annular lock plate that is disposed on the back side of the transparent plate and is fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the bottom part of the push button device from the back side. A snap-fit structure that is fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the bottom part by rotating the lock plate is provided to the outer peripheral portion of the bottom part of the push button device and to the inner peripheral portion of the lock plate. The lock plate is configured to have a larger diameter than the opening in the transparent plate, and such that the surface on the support plate side hits the support plate in a state of being fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the bottom part.

Push button device
