Claims20
A gaming system comprising:
- a housing;
- a reel assembly supported by the housing, the reel assembly comprising a rotatable reel comprising a first light arm, the first light arm comprising a plurality of selectively illuminable first lights;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause the reel to rotate such that the first light arm rotates in a first orbit associated with the reel, and
- selectively cause the first lights to illuminate while the reel and the first light arm rotate such that the first lights cause a player perceivable image to be displayed in association with the reel.

A gaming system comprising:
- a housing;
- a reel assembly supported by the housing, the reel assembly comprising:
- a rotatable first reel comprising a first light arm, the first light arm comprising a plurality of selectively illuminable first lights, the first light arm connecting spaced apart rims of the first reel;
- and
- a rotatable second reel comprising a second light arm, the second light arm comprising a plurality of selectively illuminable second lights, the second light arm connecting spaced apart rims of the second reel;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- cause the first reel to rotate such that the first light arm rotates in a first orbit associated with the first reel, and
- cause the second reel to rotate such that the second light arm rotates in a second orbit associated with the second reel;
- and
- selectively cause the first lights and the second lights to illuminate while the first light arm rotates in the first orbit and the second light arm rotates in the second orbit such that the first lights and the second lights cause a player perceivable image to be displayed.

A gaming system comprising:
- a housing;
- a reel assembly supported by the housing, the reel assembly comprising:
- a rotatable reel supported by the frame, and
- a supplemental image display comprising a plurality of light arms integrated into the reel, the plurality of light arms each comprising a plurality of selectively illuminable lights;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to operate with the supplemental image display to:
- cause each of the light arms of the supplemental image display to rotate in an orbit relative to the reel, and
- selectively cause the lights to illuminate while the light arms rotate in the orbit to cause a player perceivable image to be displayed relative to the reel.
