Abstract (en)

A gaming machine has a set of electro-mechanical reels and a set of simulated reels on a video screen. The simulated reels have symbols which correspond to those on the mechanical reels, but non-winning combinations of symbols on the win line associated with the electro-mechanical reels are duplicated on the win line of the simulated reels so that the composition of the symbols on the simulated reels gradually changes. The simulated reels are initialised to correspond to the electro-mechanical reels following a win. <IMAGE>
