1. A gaming machine comprising:
a reel having a reel band with symbol forming portions representing symbols;
wherein
each of the symbol forming portions includes a three-dimensionally formed portion forming the respective symbol three-dimensionally according to an outline characterizing the respective symbol;
each three-dimensionally formed portion is formed thinner than the reel band, on which two-dimensionally formed symbols are also disposed; and
the symbol forming portions are disposed at asymmetric reel-band locations with respect to the rotation center axis of the reel.
2. The gaming machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein each three-dimensionally formed portion is molded by pressing a sheet-like member into a mold having a shape corresponding to the respective three-dimensionally formed portion.
3. A gaming machine comprising:
a reel having a reel band with a symbol forming portion representing a symbol;
wherein
the symbol forming portion includes a three-dimensionally formed portion forming the symbol three-dimensionally according to an outline characterizing the symbol;
the three-dimensionally formed portion is formed thinner than the reel band, on which two-dimensionally formed symbols are also disposed;
the symbol forming portion is formed separately from the reel band;
the reel band has a symbol disposal portion formed by a through hole; and
the three-dimensionally formed portion is inserted into the through hole in a direction from a rear surface to a front surface of the reel band, and the symbol forming portion is disposed in the reel band through the through hole.
4. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensionally formed portion has a convex shape which is bent on the outline and protrudes from the reel band, and is substantially formed to have the same thickness.
5. A gaming machine comprising:
a reel having a reel band with a symbol forming portion representing a symbol; and
a plurality of effect sheets attached to backside portions of the symbol forming portion;
wherein
the symbol forming portion includes a three-dimensionally formed portion forming the symbol three-dimensionally according to an outline characterizing the symbol; and
the three-dimensionally formed portion is formed thinner than the reel band, on which two-dimensionally formed symbols are also disposed.
6. A gaming machine comprising:
a reel having a reel band with a symbol forming portion representing a symbol;
wherein
the symbol forming portion includes a three-dimensionally formed portion forming the symbol three-dimensionally according to an outline characterizing the symbol;
the three-dimensionally formed portion is formed in a terraced manner with a plurality of sub-portions having successively smaller cross-sectional areas at successively greater heights relative to a base portion of the reel band; and
the three-dimensionally formed portion is formed thinner than the reel band, on which two-dimensionally formed symbols are also disposed.
7. A gaming machine comprising:
a reel having a reel band with a plurality of symbol forming portions representing symbols;
wherein
each of the symbol forming portions includes a three-dimensionally formed portion forming the respective symbol three-dimensionally according to an outline characterizing the respective symbol;
the three-dimensionally formed portions all have substantially uniform height-times-surface-area volume; and
the three-dimensionally formed portion is formed thinner than the reel band, on which two-dimensionally formed symbols are also disposed.
