A mechanical display and a mechanical indicator for gaming devices
includes various embodiments, each of which have a number of elements in
common. First, the embodiments each include a rotating set of symbols or
indicia. Second, each of the embodiments includes an oscillating
indicator, such as an arrow. The symbols rotate, appear and disappear
from the player's view. In this manner, the player sees each of the
symbols and hopes that the gaming device awards the symbol having the
highest or best value. The one or more indicators move in a sequence to
point out or indicate one of the symbols or one of the groups of symbols.
The indicators provide a second random, visual element to the outcome,
wherein the player's attention must account for both the changing symbols
and the moving indicators. The symbol eventually indicated produces, at
least in part, a game outcome.
