The EL panel 6 is adhered to the substrate 4 with an adhesive 10 as shown in FIG. 3, and a vibrating pattern (not shown) or a pachinko ball as a symbol of a game board, a prize, a termination of a game, a failure, etc. Thus, various displays (not shown) can be displayed by light emission. The EL panel 6 has a structure in which a rear protective film 11, a rear electrode layer 12, an insulating layer 13 as a dielectric layer, a light emitting layer 14, a transparent electrode layer 15, and a transparent protective film 16 are laminated. The pattern 14 is patterned so as to emit multicolor light so that a game board can display colorful designs and various displays. Note that such an EL panel 6 can be manufactured by a screen printing method.

The back electrode layer 12 and the transparent electrode layer 15 are connected to a drive circuit 17 and are energized by the drive circuit 17. Then, the light-emitting layer 14 emits light when the back electrode layer 12 and the transparent electrode layer 15 are energized, and the light passes through the transparent electrode layer 15 and the transparent protective film 16 to form a game board pattern on the surface of the transparent protective film 16. Various displays according to the winning of a colorful pattern or a pachinko ball, the end of a game, a failure, and the like are displayed.

The transparent electrode layer 15 is connected to the ground 18.
