Abstract
A rotating wheel assembly includes a base that is releasably attached to a frame of a slot machine. The rotating wheel assembly further includes a rotating wheel consisting of an outer ring and an inner ring that are releasably engaged together to allow adjustment in the width. Each of the inner ring and the outer ring includes a retaining groove for holding a figure card. A lamp device is mounted inside the rotating wheel and secured to a cylinder, which, in turn, is releasably engaged with a circular member on the base to allow a change in the angular position. A shielding plate is releasably attached to a rim of the inner ring to allow adjustment of position of the shielding plate in response to wrong discrimination as a result of long-term use of the rotating wheel assembly.
