Abstract

A gaming machine includes a cabinet, an emission control unit, an exterior member, a conductive sheet, a ground unit, and a controller which runs a game. The emission control unit provided to the cabinet includes a light emitting portion and causes the light emitting portion to light. The exterior member is placed to a position surrounding the emission control unit and transmits light emitted by the light emitting portion to outside. The conductive sheet is provided to a position interposing between the exterior member and the emission control unit. The ground unit grounds the conductive sheet.

Claims (24)

1. A gaming machine comprising:

a cabinet;

an emission control device provided on the cabinet, the emission control device including a light emitting portion and being configured to cause the light emitting portion to emit light;

an exterior member which surrounds the light emitting portion, and is configured to allow the light emitted by the light emitting portion to pass therethrough;

a conductive sheet which is interposed between the exterior member and the emission control device;

a ground unit which grounds the conductive sheet; and

a controller which runs a game.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the exterior member is made of a material having electrostatic propensity.

3. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive sheet discharges static electricity accumulated in the exterior member to ground.

4. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting portion is disposed in through-holes formed in the conductive sheet and exterior member.

5. A gaming machine comprising:

a cabinet;

an emission control device provided on the cabinet, the emission control device including a light emitting portion and being configured to cause the light emitting portion to emit light;

an exterior member which surrounds the light emitting portion, and is configured to allow the light emitted by the light emitting portion to pass therethrough;

a conductive sheet which is interposed between the exterior member and the emission control device, and contacts the exterior member;

a ground unit which grounds the conductive sheet; and

a controller which runs a game.

6. A gaming machine comprising:

a cabinet;

an emission control device provided on the cabinet, the emission control device including a light emitting portion and being configured to cause the light emitting portion to emit light;

an exterior member made of a material having electrostatic propensity, the exterior member being configured to allow the light emitted by the light emitting portion to pass therethrough, and surrounding the light emitting portion;

a conductive sheet which is interposed between the exterior member and the emission control device, and contacts the exterior member;

a ground unit which grounds the conductive sheet; and

a controller which runs a game.
