Gaming machine reel mounting assembly

A mounting assembly for reels of gaming machines whose reels bear on their edge around their periphery a translucent strip carrying various symbols and are driven by a driving motor such as a stepper motor which is angularly adjustable with respect to said reel, integrating illumination lamps within said reel which are also positionally adjustable with respect to said reel and are provided to illuminate a given number of symbols, said reel comprising:

• a mounting including a hollow cylinder which has its axis in a horizontal position, is concentrically placed within said reel and has its bases at least partially open;
• inside said hollow cylinder, a holder housing said motor provided to drive said reel;
• first means to angularly adjust the position of said motor holder with respect to said hollow cylinder of said mounting, said means being apt to be clamped on a peripheral toothing of said hollow cylinder, the adjustment to be carried out with said means being independent from that of said illumination lamps;
• a lampshade holder to hold lampshades housing said illumination lamps placed within reel, and
• second means to adjust the position of said lampshade holder, said adjustment being independent from that of said motor holder, said second means being apt to be clamped on a peripheral toothing of said hollow cylinder.
