[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A gaming machine 10 in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. The gaming machine 10 includes a housing 1 , an indicator device 2 , and an operating device 3 . The indicator device 2 and the operating device 3 are respectively disposed on the housing 1 .

[0036] It can be understood that the housing 1 serves to house and install the remaining components. The indicator device 2 serves to guide the user to correctly operate the operating device 3. The operating device 3 is for the user to operate.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the indicating device 2 includes a circuit board 21 and a plurality of tracking light groups 22 . The circuit board 21 is electrically connected to each tracking light group 22 , and each tracking light group 22 is disposed on the housing 1 .

[0038] As can be understood, the circuit board 21 is used to receive and process the corresponding signals. The tracking light assembly 22 is used to guide the user to correctly operate the operating device 3 by illuminating the light. The setting direction, setting trajectory, and size specifications of each tracking light assembly 22 can be flexibly set, as long as the tracking light assembly 22 can clearly guide the user's operation.

[0039] The operating device 3 includes a plurality of buttons 31 , each of which is disposed on the housing 1 . Each of the buttons 31 corresponds to each of the tracking light groups 22 , and each of the buttons 31 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 .

[0040] It can be understood that the button 31 on the shell 1 can be configured to be set on the shell 1 through a sliding connection structure or a rotating connection structure. Among them, if the button 31 is configured to be able to slide relative to the shell 1, the user's operation method will be different when the sliding direction of the button 31 is different, such as a pressing operation method, an operation method of driving the button 31 to slide on the shell 1, and an operation method of turning the button 31 to rotate.

[0041] When using the game console 10, the tracking light groups 22 are driven by the circuit board 21 to illuminate. The lighting sequence and brightness of each tracking light group 22 can be flexibly configured, and the user can identify the key 31 that needs to be operated based on the lighting guidance of the tracking light group 22. In this way, the key 31 that needs to be operated can be quickly identified by the obvious lighting changes.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the game console 10 , a plurality of indication paths 11 are provided on the shell 1 , each tracking light group 22 is provided along each indication path 11 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each button 31 is provided on each indication path 11 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0043] It is understood that the length and contour of the indicator path 11 can be flexibly configured. During operation, each tracking light assembly 22 will illuminate along the indicator path 11. Each indicator path 11 corresponds to a button 31, which means that the user can determine the button 31 to be operated based on the tracking light assembly 22 on a single indicator path 11. The button 31 can be configured to be located at the end or in the middle of the indicator path 11. Of course, the button 31 can also be located along the length of the indicator path 11.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the setting mode of each indication path 11 has at least the following implementation modes:

[0045] In the first embodiment, the indicating paths 11 are parallel to each other. It is understandable that in this embodiment, the tracking light groups 22 all emit light along parallel paths. This way, the installation positions of the tracking light groups 22 will not interfere with each other, making the housing 1 more compact.

[0046] In a second embodiment, at least a portion of the indicator paths 11 have the same outline. It should be understood that the outline referred to in this embodiment includes the shape and overall extension of the indicator paths 11. Indicator paths 11 with different outlines can form tracking light assemblies 22 with different outlines, thereby forming tracking light assemblies 22 with different overall outlines.

[0047] In a third embodiment, at least some of the indication paths 11 are of equal length.

[0048] It can be understood that the same length of the indication paths 11 means that the entire length of the tracking light assembly 22 is equal.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the game console 10, each tracking light group 22 includes a plurality of indicator lights 221, each indicator light 221 is disposed on the housing 1, and each indicator light 221 is arranged one by one in sequence.

[0050] It is understood that the indicator lights 221 included in each tracking light group 22 are arranged one by one along the indication path 11. In this way, the user can be prompted to press the corresponding button 31 by lighting each indicator light 221 in the same tracking light group 22 one by one. Of course, the lighting timing, lighting duration, lighting order, and brightness of each indicator light 221 can be flexibly configured, depending on the specific product design specifications.

[0051] It should be noted that the number of indicator lights 221 included in each tracking light group 22 can be flexibly set. The number of indicator lights 221 included in each tracking light group 22 can be the same or different, or only the number of indicator lights 221 included in some tracking light groups 22 can be configured to be equal.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the gaming machine 10 , in at least one tracking light group 22 , the indicator lights 221 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0053] It is understandable that the indicator lights 221 in only one tracking light group 22 can be arranged at equal intervals according to a predetermined distance. This arrangement can ensure that the brightness distribution between the indicator lights 221 is uniform, making it easier for the user to identify the correct operation path.

[0054] The indicator lights 221 in at least two tracking light groups 22 can be arranged at equal intervals. This approach is not limited to two tracking light groups, but can also be extended to more tracking light groups to maintain consistency and coordination of the entire gaming machine 10.

[0055] The indicator lights 221 in all tracking light groups 22 can be arranged at equal intervals. This way, regardless of the number of tracking light groups 22 in the gaming machine 10, the indicator lights 221 in each tracking light group 22 are arranged at equal intervals, further improving the consistency and coordination of the entire gaming machine 10.

[0056] In some cases, it's not necessary to evenly space the indicator lights 221 in all tracking light groups 22. For example, in a gaming machine 10 containing five tracking light groups 22, the first three tracking light groups 22 can be evenly spaced, while the last two can be arranged at unequal intervals based on different functional requirements. This allows the product to adapt to a wider range of gaming scenarios.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the game machine 10 , the indicator device 2 further includes a plurality of light-transmitting protrusions 232 , and each light-transmitting protrusion 232 is correspondingly disposed outside each indicator light 221 .

[0058] It can be understood that the light-transmitting protrusion 232 can effectively gather the light emitted by the indicator light 221, making the light more concentrated, enhancing the light effect, and making it easier for the user to notice the position of the indicator light.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the game console 10, the indicator device 2 also includes a light-transmitting member 23, which includes a base 231 and a plurality of light-transmitting protrusions 232, each of which is disposed on the base 231, and the base 231 is supported on the circuit board 21.

[0060] It can be understood that the base 231 is a flat support structure, usually made of transparent material, used to support all the light-transmitting protrusions 232. The size and shape of the base 231 can be designed according to actual needs to ensure that it can be firmly mounted on the shell 1 of the game console 10 and in close contact with the circuit board 21. The light-transmitting protrusions 232 are arranged on the base 231, and each light-transmitting protrusion 232 corresponds to an indicator light 221. The design purpose of the light-transmitting protrusions 232 is to enhance the light effect emitted by the indicator light 221, making the light more concentrated and bright. These protrusions can have different shapes, such as cylindrical, hemispherical or other suitable geometric shapes. Of course, they can also be set to irregular shapes to better guide the light.

[0061] Furthermore, the shapes of the light-transmitting parts 23 corresponding to each tracking light group 22 can be set to be the same, the light-transmitting parts 23 corresponding to some tracking light groups 22 can be configured to have different shapes, and the shapes of all or some of the light-transmitting parts 23 in a single tracking light group 22 can also be configured to be different.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the game console 10, the operating device 3 further includes a conductive layer, a plurality of key positions 211 are provided on the circuit board 21, and each key position 211 is provided with at least one touch point 212. Each key 31 corresponds to each key position 211 one by one, and the conductive layer is provided between the circuit board 21 and the key 31; wherein, when each key 31 slides on the shell 1, the key 31 supports the conductive layer and abuts against the touch point 212.

[0063] As can be understood, the conductive layer provided between the circuit board 21 and the button 31 serves to connect the button 31 and the circuit board 21 for signal transmission. The position of the key 211 corresponds to the position of the button 31 to ensure that the button 31 accurately contacts the key 211 during operation. The touch point 212 can be configured as a switch or various structures or components capable of triggering on the circuit board 21.

[0064] It should be noted that, by providing the conductive layer, a reliable electrical connection is formed between the button 31 and the circuit board 21, ensuring that each operation of the button 31 can be accurately recognized. Conductive glue is a prior art, and the conductive layer can be formed by applying the conductive glue to a predetermined position.

[0065] It should be noted that, by providing the conductive layer, a reliable electrical connection is formed between the key 31 and the circuit board 21, ensuring that each key operation can be accurately identified. Conductive adhesive is a prior art.

The main function of the display 24 is to provide additional information to the user, such as game status, score, remaining life value, etc.

[0068] The display 24 is arranged at a suitable position on the housing 1, usually at a conspicuous place of the game console 10, so that the user can view it. Its position should take into account the user's sight habits when operating the game console 10, ensuring that the user can easily read the displayed information.

[0069] The display 24 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 via wires or data lines, which ensures that the display 24 can obtain data from the circuit board 21 in real time and display relevant information according to instructions from the circuit board 21.

[0070] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the gaming machine 10 , the indicating device 2 further includes a speaker 25 . The speaker 25 is disposed on the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 .

[0071] It is understandable that the speaker 25 can be a sound output device such as a loudspeaker or a buzzer. Its main function is to provide audio feedback to the user, such as game sound effects, background music, prompt sounds, etc.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the game console 10 , the shell 1 includes a bottom plate 12 , a bottom panel 13 and a cover 14 . The bottom panel 13 is integrally formed and arranged on the periphery of the bottom plate 12 , and the cover 14 is covered on the bottom panel 13 .

[0073] It is understandable that the bottom plate 12 is the basic part of the housing 1 and plays the role of supporting and installing other components. The bottom plate 12 is generally a planar structure and can be made of plastic, metal or other solid materials to provide sufficient strength and stability.

[0074] The bottom panel 13 is provided around the periphery of the bottom plate 12 and its main function is to form the side wall of the housing 1.
