Gaming machine

A user interface assembly for a gaming device includes a first-side transceiver subassembly on a first side of a barrier, including a first-side antenna and a first-side transmitter circuit electronically coupled to the first-side antenna for transmitting an electromagnetic power signal through the barrier via the first-side antenna. The user interface assembly also includes a second-side transceiver subassembly on a second side of the barrier opposite the first-side transceiver subassembly, including a second-side antenna disposed opposite the first-side antenna relative to the barrier, and a second-side receiver circuit electronically coupled to the second-side antenna for receiving, via the second-side antenna, the electromagnetic power signal transmitted through the barrier. The second-side transceiver subassembly also includes a second-side user interface circuit including a first user interface element for outputting an indication to a user of the gaming device in response to the second-side receiver circuit receiving the electromagnetic power signal.

A reel assembly for a gaming machine includes an inner drive ring defining an annular inner rim, an outer ring, and a support substrate. The outer ring is spaced from and coaxially positioned relative to the inner drive ring, and the outer ring defines an annular outer rim. The support substrate has opposing side edges each coupled to a different one of the annular inner rim and the annular outer rim. The support substrate extends substantially unsupported between the annular inner rim and the annular outer rim in a substantially continuous manner maintaining the annular inner rim spaced from the annular out rim.

A lighting assembly for a reel slot machine includes an interface board and a flexible printed circuit board (PCB). The interface board is substantially planar, electrically couplable to the reel slot machine, and includes a first electrical connection plug and a second electrical connection plug spaced from the first electrical connection plug. The flexible PCB defines a first end and a second end, the first end and second ends of the flexible PCB are electrically coupled to the first electrical connection plug and the second electrical connection plug, respectively. The flexible PCB bows away from each of the first and second ends to define a bowed primary face facing away from the interface board. The flexible PCB further comprises a plurality of light sources coupled to the bowed primary face. During use, the plurality of light sources selectively illuminate to provide lighting to a reel of the reel slot machine.
