Abstract

A gaming machine adapted for slot machine play and poker-type games includes a housing, an interface supported by the housing, a set of primary reels and a bonus reel. The primary reels share a common axis and the bonus reel has an axis generally perpendicular to the axis of the bonus reels. This spatial relationship between the bonus reel and the primary reels defines at least one payline between the primary reels and the bonus reel.
