ABSTRACT:
A gaming apparatus with bi-directional, rotatable symbol bearing reels is disclosed. The gaming apparatus includes a microprocessor which generates a direction signal to control the rotation of each of the reels via a reel control mechanism. The reel control mechanism employs stepper motors or the like to rotate each of the reels in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction about an axis, depending on value of the direction signal. In some cases, the microprocessor generates the direction signal in accordance with a random event so that the reels rotate randomly in different directions.
