DISPLAY DEVICE FOR GAME MACHINE AND GAME MACHINE HAVING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display device for game machines providing a whole surface light-emitting part of a light guide plate with a sufficient light intensity and capable of providing a light-emitting display mode rich with amusement by distributedly providing a plurality of hole light-emitting parts on a reflector; and to provide a game machine having the same. SOLUTION: A lens 40 is disposed between the light guide plate 10 and the reflector 20, with its peripheral face and its front face coming into direct contact with the inner circumferential faces of extension parts 12 and 12 and with the rear face of the surface light-emitting part 11 respectively. Part of the light of the light guide plate LED 31 is introduced (leaked) from the extension parts 12 and 12 of the light guide plate 10 to the lens 40 and derived (returned) to the surface light-emitting part 11 of the light guide plate 10 from the lens 40. When propagating through the surface light-emitting part 11, the light of the light guide plate LED 31 is reflected on a contact face (a boundary face) between the surface light-emitting part 11 and the lens 40 and returned to the surface light-emitting part 11. The lens 40 can thus provide the whole surface light-emitting part 11 of the light guide plate 10 with the sufficient light intensity so as to prevent easy occurrence of light intensity insufficiency at the central portion of the surface light-emitting part 11 (a light-emitting region).
