I have worked with UK fruit machine (slot machines to the Americans :D) reels before and they are driven using stepper Motors like allObjects has mentioned they need a ramp up and down tables or the motor will just jump. But using a geared one shouldn't need this? (Fruit machines drive a 12inch reel drum directly)
