There are technical sheets for some of them, particularly the off-the-shelf versions, but in practice the stepper motors speed is governed more by the rate of change of data sent by the CPU, as the outer reel is continually attracted or repelled as the coils are energised.
I suppose such things could be emulated more accurately taking into account the duty cycles, but the overall result would be near identical as a reel never achieves completely free rotation in the CPU controlled stuff. An old EM machine possibly, but there'd be a lot more to do (clutches, prize sensor bars, friction etc)
