Abstract
A gaming machine for operating a wagering game comprises a user input deck and an emotive lighting structure. The user input deck includes a transmissive panel, a plurality of light sources, and an etched graphic. The plurality of light sources is constructed and arranged to transmit light into the transmissive panel via an edge thereof. The etched graphic is etched into a surface of the transmissive panel and is illuminated by the transmitted light. The emotive lighting structure is configured to present content related to the wagering game. The user input deck is disposed between the emotive lighting structure and a player position in front of the gaming machine. The emotive lighting structure extends below a height of the user input deck such that at least a portion of the content is visible through the transmissive panel.
