ABSTRACT:
A gaming device including a housing, a symbol display connected to the housing, and a symbol indicator rotatably connected to the housing which includes at least one section having a viewable area to enable a player to view at least a portion of the symbol display. In one embodiment, after a triggering event associated with a game, the symbol display generates a plurality of first symbols. The symbol indicator moves and positions the viewable area to indicate one or more of the first symbols on the symbol display. The gaming device provides an outcome to the player based on the order of the first symbols indicated on the symbol display. The outcome is based on the position of first symbols indicated on the symbol display.
