### Explanation of the Diagram

The image provided contains three vertical lists, each representing a wheel in a slot machine. Each wheel is labeled at the top as "First Wheel", "Second Wheel", and "Third Wheel". 

- The "First Wheel" has 21 symbols evenly distributed in a vertical manner. The symbols include Orange, Cherry, Lemon, Bell, Plum, and Bar, repeating in a specific sequence.
- The "Second Wheel" similarly displays 21 symbols, including Cherry, Bar, Plum, Orange, Bell, and Lemon, following a specific order.
- The "Third Wheel" showcases 20 symbols that include Cherry, Plum, Bar, Orange, and Bell, arranged in a particular sequence.

Each symbol is represented both textually and graphically, helping visualize the organization of symbols on each wheel. This depiction mirrors the arrangement seen in traditional mechanical slot machines where each wheel stops at a symbol to determine the outcome of the spin.
