Abstract
There is provided a gaming machine capable of providing an effect for symbol display during a stop and/or rotation of a reel, by use of a totally non-conventional effect element, which is an angle of a line of sight to an outer circumferential surface of the reel. Reel strips M32 each having symbols 501 are respectively disposed on outer circumferential surfaces of cylindrical reels M31 each configured to be rotated with its cylinder central axis being held at a predetermined position. Each reel strip M32 includes a color shifting layer M321 configured to selectively reflect and transmit predetermined wavelengths of visible light depending on the incident angle.
