Benefits of technology
The present invention relates to a reel apparatus for a game machine. The invention provides a reel apparatus that uses an image display device instead of traditional symbols printed on the reel strips, which increases manufacturing costs and reduces durability of the display device. The invention includes a plurality of display panels fixed at predetermined positions, driving motors for rotating the reel strips, and controllers for controlling the image display operation of the display panels based on the rotation speed of the reel strips. The invention also includes a plurality of slot members and light generators / receivers for detecting light passing through slots, and a controller for controlling the image display operation of the display panels based on the detection of light. The display panel has a curved shape to respond to the shape of the reel strip. The invention reduces manufacturing costs and prevents damage to the display panel.
Problems solved by technology
However, in case many display devices are provided for each reel, manufacturing cost for a reel apparatus is increased, and in case of rotating an image display device, durability of an image display device is deteriorated.

Technical Problem
[0007]The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a reel apparatus for a game machine which uses an image display device which operates electrically and has a lower manufacturing cost and does not deteriorate durability of an image display device.
Technical Solution
[0008]An exemplary reel apparatus of a game machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of display panels which are fixedly disposed at predetermined positions; a plurality of reels respectively having reel strips which are installed to independently rotate with respect to a single axis in a state of respectively covering a front surface of the plurality of the display panels; a plurality of driving motors for respectively rotating the plurality of the reels; and a controller for controlling image display operation of the display panel based on a signal representing rotation speed of the reel strips such that images of the plurality of the display pan...

A reel apparatus includes: a plurality of display panels which are fixedly disposed at predetermined positions; a plurality of reels respectively having reel strips which are installed to independently rotate with respect to a single axis in a state of respectively covering a front surface of the display panels; a plurality of driving motors for respectively rotating the reels; and a controller for controlling image display operation of the display panel based on a signal representing rotation speed of the reel strips such that images of the display panels rotate respectively in response to a rotation speed of the reel strips. Instead of providing a plurality of display panels for each reel, one fixed display panel is provided for each reel and image displayed on the display panel rotates, so each reel requires only one display panel and thereby a manufacturing cost can be reduced.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates to a reel apparatus of a game machine.BACKGROUND ART [0002]Various game machines have been introduced with increase of demand for various games, and a game machine such as a slot machine which is used in a casino is one of them.[0003]A game machine such as a slot machine is provided with a plurality of reels on which symbols such as picture or number are printed, and result of game may be determined by combination of such symbols.[0004]In a conventional reel apparatus, various symbols are printed on the surface of the reel strip, and the reel is rotated and stopped to select specific symbols.[0005]A technology for making a reel apparatus with an image display device instead of marking symbols on the reel strip is now being developed.[0006]However, in case many display devices are provided for each reel, manufacturing cost for a reel apparatus is increased, and in case of rotating an image display device, durability of an ima...
