Abstract: Briefly, a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an electronic gaming apparatus including an outer housing having a front panel hingedly attached to form a housing closure. The outer surface of the front panel provides a playing surface including windows which various indicators may be viewed and switches enabling player interaction. The rear side of the front panel is in the form of a printed circuit board including a network of printed circuit conductors disposed thereon. Also affixed to the rear side of the first panel and supported thereby are various switches, electronic components, indicators, lights and facsimile display modules, all of which are electrically interconnected by means of the printed circuit conductors. The facsimile display modules each include a pair of web carrying reels which are reversibly driven by a single reversible motor and a coil spring for maintaining constant tension in the web as it is wound and unwound upon the respective reels.
