Abstract
A slot machine of the type having a plurality of reels and pulse motors for rotating the respective reels wherein the pulse motors can be stopped individually by touching stop switches provided one for each of the respective reels. Every stop switch is provided with a light-emitting indicator for indicating that the stop switch is operable, and the stop switch becomes operable only when its corresponding pulse motor, and hence the associated reel, has reached a predetermined speed of rotation. In this way, the display of selected symbols cannot be controlled by the player stopping the reels during an initial phase of their movement when they are turning only very slowly.
