A gaming apparatus that comprises a display unit that is capable of
generating video images, a value input device, and a controller
operatively coupled to the display unit and the value input device. The
controller comprises a processor and a memory that are operatively
coupled to the processor. The controller is programmed to allow a person
to make a wager, and to cause a display portion representing an image of
a rotating wheel to be generated on the display unit, wherein the
rotating wheel has a section with a symbol displayed thereon. The
controller is programmed to cause the symbol image to be displayed in a
first orientation relative to the wheel when the wheel lies in a first
angular orientation and to cause the symbol image to be adjusted so that
the symbol image is displayed in a second orientation that is angularly
spaced from the first angular orientation. The controller is also
programmed to determine a value payout associated with an outcome of a
game incorporating the wheel.
