DISPLAY DEVICE FOR REEL-BASED GAMING MACHINE

摘要

A display device for a player-operable entertainment machine has a rotatable reel (9) with symbols around its periphery. The symbols are defined digitally on a support (27, 30), such as a curved LCD strip, by feed of signals from a signal generating device (28). The support (27) may rotate with the reel. Alternatively the support (30) may be fixed so that the reel (9) rotates but the support (30) is static. In this case the support (30) extends round part only of the periphery of the reel and the feed of signals is such as to define symbols which move with the rotation of the reel (9).
