I went to a local casino yesterday and played a couple of machines  I had never seen before.

1.  Aristocrat Mr. Cashman Live.  Basically a machine with an LCD Top and translucent LCD on the bottom with spinning reels under it.  What caught my eye is that it looked to, and I looked really close, that the strips were made out of OLED Screens.  There was a mechanical reel basket, but it contained an OLED-like strip on it.  You could see the dot matrix patter on the "reel strip".

2.  Played a bally with a Playboy theme, the reels were a single long really curved LCD (I'm thinking probably OLED), and the animation was made to look like 5 independent mechanical reels.

The aristocrat machine was more intriguing as it actually used a real reel with basket, but with an OLED reel strip, or at least that's what it looked like.  Has anybody else seen this before?

Are you sure it was the strip projecting the image and not and image being projected onto a strip?

It was definitely the strip projecting the image, because you can see all the symbols go completely around, it looked just like a traditional strip, except with the dot matrix patter apparent in LCD/OLED displays.  I should have taken a picture of it.

Here's a video that someone posted, wish the reels were clearer.

You should try the s-avp 3-layer MLD games-IGT.  The others are all transmissive with mech. reels still spinning behind the lcd 3-d monitor.  These do look good but it is Much better without the mech. reels etc. Think Igt has pat. on it.  I enjoy them. Depending on where you go you will see new and not so new Technology.

I've seen seen and played them both.

I think the Aristocrat machine you saw is actually just their take on the WMS "Transmissive Reels" -- that is, a opaque video screen over mechanical reels.  I agree that the Aristocrat reels look as if they're also computer generated, but I think it's just how the reel strips look through their not-so-crystal-clear 'transmissive' monitor.

The bally platform is pretty neat -- they did a really nice job with the curved screen that looks like reels.  According to their website (under "Upright" in the navigation, select Pro Curve), it's a curved LCD screen that simulates the mechanical reels.

The one machine looks like regular reels behind a monitor, we have these in our casino if that is what it is.

We have the Bally curves too, they are really cool with their graphics.
