<p>A reel for a gaming or amusement machine has a support structure for supporting the reel strip (2, 21) of a significantly lower moment of inertia than a standard reel drum. This is achieved by making the reel strip (2, 21) of stiff material and supporting it only at spaced-apart points, and relying on the strip to support itself between the supported points. The reel support for the strip may be in the form of one or two spiders, each having a plurality of radial spokes (42). For further support for the strip a ring member (42, 69) may be provided connecting the ends of the spokes. If two such spiders are used, the ring members may be interconnected.</p> |
