Original Abstract Submitted

A gaming machine display device includes a display device housing and an image forming panel mounted on the display device housing. The image forming panel defines an overall display area facing in an image presenting direction and encompasses both a first display area and a distinct second display area. The gaming machine display device further includes both first and second backlighting arrangements mounted within the display device housing. The first backlighting arrangement is operable for emitting first display area backlight over the first display area at a first brightness level. The second backlighting arrangement is operable for emitting second display area backlight over the second display area. This second display area backlight is switchable between a first illumination state at the first brightness level and a second illumination state at a higher second brightness level while the first display area backlight remains at the first brightness level.
