A gaming device having an award value or symbol display device is provided. The display device includes multiple interconnecting rotators that cooperate to drive an indicator to produce a translating motion. The translating indicator is positioned along linearly spaced apart award values to sequentially and intermittently indicate or point to various ones of those values and ultimately to one of the values, which has been generated randomly for the player. The value can be awarded to the player or be combined with another value to form an award for the player.
