Lighting assemblies for electronic gaming machines

An electronic gaming machine, comprising:

• a cabinet defining an internal compartment;
• one or more display devices connected to the cabinet;
• and
• a lighting assembly positioned adjacent to an edge of the cabinet and having:
• a printed circuit board (PCB) having a PCB top side and a PCB back side;
• a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned on the PCB top side;
• a first light blade having a monolithic body comprising a transparent material and having a light pipe portion, a lens portion, and an intermediate portion interposed between the light pipe portion and the lens portion, wherein:
• the intermediate portion is offset from the PCB top side such that the light pipe portion is interposed between the PCB top side and the intermediate portion when viewed parallel to the PCB top side,
• the lens portion extends away from the intermediate portion in a first direction, has a proximal end at the intermediate portion, and a distal end offset from the intermediate portion,
• the light pipe portion extends away from the intermediate portion in a second direction for a second length, has a front surface, and has a back surface opposite the front surface and with an angled portion,
• the angled portion is oriented at an acute angle with respect to the second direction,
• the back surface has a reflective coating,
• each LED:
• faces the front surface of the light pipe portion,
• is offset from the front surface in a direction parallel to the PCB top side by a first offset distance, and
• is configured to emit light onto the front surface,
• light emitted by each LED is configured to pass through the front surface and a region of the light pipe portion, to hit the angled portion and thereby travel through the intermediate portion and the lens portion, and
• the first light blade extends away from the cabinet.
