Patent ID: 7476154

Claim:
A gaming machine comprising: a cabinet; a cylindrical illumination device disposed at a side of the cabinet and including a plurality of light emitting members, wherein the cylindrical illumination device creates a visual illusion of light emitting rings from light emitted by the plurality of light emitting members; and a light emission controller for controlling the light emitting members, wherein the light emission controller comprises: a first light emission controller that selects at least one of the light emitting members and makes the selected light emitting member emit light in a first light emitting mode in which a light emission position is fixed, according to a current game state; a second light emission controller that makes at least another of the light emitting members emit light in a second light emitting mode in which another light emission position moves, when the current game state satisfies a prescribed condition; and a third light emission controller that makes at least one of the light emitting members emit light in a third light emitting mode which is different from the first and second emitting modes, when the light emitting member emitting light by the first light emission controller, becomes a light emission object of the second light emission controller, wherein the gaming machine performs a typing game, and wherein the gaming machine further comprises a storage area for storing music data.
