Abstract: A translucent reel strip for a mechanical slot reel of a gaming device includes a substrate and a translucent layer including a background image having a uniform first opacity value and a plurality of graphical images. The translucent layer further includes first and second gradient images at opposite ends of the substrate. Each gradient image includes an opacity gradient between a second opacity value proximate the respective end of the background image and a third opacity value less than the second opacity value proximate the respective edge of the substrate. Arranging the reel strip around the mechanical slot reel such that the gradient images overlap causes a visibility of the edges of the substrate to be reduced.
