Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a gaming machine comprising a keyboard and a plurality of display members arranged side by side and being controllable with the aid of the keyboard by means of an electrically and/or electronically operating mechanism, said display member having a plurality of particulate elements which can luminesce independently of one another by the supply of current so that with the aid of the display members luminescing signs can be formed whereby the display members and the electrically and/or electronically operating mechanism are designed so that a luminescing sign is displayed at least at three superjacent places in order of succession in a manner such that the impression is given that the sign is moving from top to bottom.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 121 words
A gaming machine comprising a keyboard and a plurality of display nembers arranged side by side and being controllable with the aid of the keyboard by means of an electrically and/or electronically operating mecha- aism, said display member having a plurality of particulate elements which can luminesce independently of one another by the supply of current so that with the aid of the display members luminescing signs can be formed characterized in that the display members and the electrically and/or electronically operating mechanism are designed so that a luminescing sign is displa- fed at least at three superjacent places in order of succession in a manner such that the impression is given that the sign is moving from top to bottom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 121 words
A gaming machine comprising a keyboard and a plurality of display nembers arranged side by side and being controllable with the aid of the keyboard by means of an electrically and/or electronically operating mecha- aism, said display member having a plurality of particulate elements which can luminesce independently of one another by the supply of current so that with the aid of the display members luminescing signs can be formed characterized in that the display members and the electrically and/or electronically operating mechanism are designed so that a luminescing sign is displa- fed at least at three superjacent places in order of succession in a manner such that the impression is given that the sign is moving from top to bottom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
A gaming machine as claimed in Claim 1 characterized in that the surface in which the luminescing elements of the display members are located has, at least on approximation, a curved shaped.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 62 words
A gaming machine as claimed in Claim 1 or 2 characterized in that a sign is formed at a given location by causing the elements forming the the sign to luminesce in order of succession from top to bottom, after which the ' sign is caused to disappear by extinguishing the_elements forming the sign in order of succession from top to bottom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 69 words
A gaming machine as claimed in anyone of the preceding Claims characterized in that each display member is formed by an elongate, preferably curved member provided with a great number of elements arranged side by side an one below the other to be caused to luminesce independently of one another by supplying current so that on said single display member at least three superjacent signs can be simultaneoulsy shown.
