Abstract
First-third light emission parts, wherein plural LEDs are disposed, are provided in front surface of a first display plate. Synchronized with the rotation of the first display plate, the LEDs in the light emission part light on and off to display symbols or images by utilizing afterimage effect. When the first display plate stops rotation, the first-third light emission parts are lighted on and off sequentially. When one of the first to third light emission parts is lighted on, an amount of dividend coins is determined by the numbers on a second display indicated by the lighted light emission part and a fixed indicator. Thus, the LEDs in the light emission part are used not only as image display device but as an indicator.
