Abstract:
A display, as for an electronic gaming machine, includes one or more rotatable mechanical reels including at least one variable displaying position at which the display may be varied. Content is displayed at the variable displaying position when the variable displaying position registers with the display. One or more reels can include a reel strip which includes at one location a pre-printed symbol and at another location a window. A video display can be arranged, configured and controlled by a processor to cast a display at the inside of the reel to impart light and video effects to pre-printed symbol locations or to cast video content through the reel strip window.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for controlling a video display of a mechanical reel assembly comprising a mechanical reel, the mechanical reel having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side defining a plurality of symbol positions, including at least one variable displaying position at which the video display may be varied, the method comprising the steps of:\n determining, via the game controller, a stop position for the mechanical reel based on reel symbol data and a video to cast from the video display onto the inner side of the mechanical reel based on display data; communicating to a player interface, via the game controller, a stop position for the mechanical reel and the video to display at the video display; stopping the mechanical reel at the stop position; and displaying the video, cast from the video display, onto the inner side of the mechanical reel from behind at least one of the plurality of symbol positions to provide at least one of a color and backlighting, when the mechanical reel stops rotational movement to register with a symbol position with the video display.
