Abstract

See full text

With a slot machine, a reel band is wound around a reel and the reel band has plural tabs along a side edge thereof. Each of the tabs has a barcode. A symbol position on a display window is detected by reading the barcode with a barcode reader when spinning of the reel has stopped. And then, it is determined whether or not a winning combination is achieved. Therefore, a symbol position can be detected reliably when the reel has stopped. Furthermore, since the barcode is provided on a side surface of the reel, an installing position of the barcode reader can be arranged flexibly.
