Abstract

In a gaming machine, e.g. of the 'fruit machine' type the symbols are inscribed on the peripheral cylindrical surface of drums or reels. A respective co-axial disc (1) is mounted for rotation with each symbol bearing drum and the rotational position of the drum is sensed by sensing the rotational posi­ tion of the disc (1). A ring (4) of alternate black and white surfaces is painted on the disc. A light source (6) and receiver (7) are mounted to one side of the disc and reflections from the white areas of the ring (4) are reproduced as pulses in the receiver. These are counted to provide an indication of the position of the disc.
