Abstract:
1. A gaming device comprising: a housing; a refractive light display connected to said housing, said refractive light display including a first side and a second side, said first side of said refractive light display including a first refractive surface and a second refractive surface, said first and second refractive surfaces each having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said first refractive surface is at a point on said first side and said first end of said second refractive surface is at a different spaced-apart point on said first side, said first and second refractive surfaces extending from said first side toward said second side, and wherein said first refractive surface and said second refractive surface define at least part of a groove in said first side; at least one light source connected to said housing for directing light into the refractive light display; and a processor for controlling the light source to selectively direct light into the refractive light display to pass the light through the first and second refractive surfaces and illuminate at least part of the groove defined by the first and second refractive surfaces in the first side of the refractive light display in coordination with a game function.
