ABSTRACT:
A device for producing a random output for use in conjunction primarily with games includes a housing having a first and second wheel each independently mounted within the housing and capable of rotating with respect to the housing. A portion of each of the wheels is exposed outside of the housing such that it can be contacted against a surface and each of the wheels independently rotated with respect to the housing as the housing is moved with respect to the surface. An indicating member is mounted on the housing and is capable of moving between an indicating and a non-indicating position. A first and second control component links the indicating member to the first and second wheel respectively. Depending upon the location of the first and second wheels, the first and second control components both have a release position and a lock position. When both of the control components are in the release position, the indicating member will move to the indicating position. However, when either one or both of the first or the second control members are in the lock position, the indicating member will be maintained in the non-indicating position. Movement of the housing across a surface rotating the wheels will cause the indicating member to move from the non-indicating to the indicating position in a random manner depending upon random rotation of one of the wheels with respect to the other.
