ABSTRACT:
A rotator game device for the generation of randomly selected data has a circular housing with a recess, and a base wheel rotatable within the housing recess upon a bearing arrangement. The base member has an upstanding handle member fitting over the bearing arrangement, and a circular retainer member having an inclined surface and a lip is mounted to the circular housing. A collar member is fitted to the upstanding handle member and has a plurality of detents as well as an indicia indicator for each detent area. A plurality of wheel or disc members carrying indicia such that each wheel member has one edge resting on the circular retainer and one edge resting on the base wheel. When the base wheel is stationary the plurality of wheel members are urged under the influence of gravity to nested relationship in the detents of the collar member, and when the base wheel is rotating the wheel members are displaced outwardly under the influence of centrifugal force such that their outer edge contacts the lip of the circular retainer, causing the wheel members to revolve in the direction of movement of the base wheel while counter rotating with respect to the direction of their revolution and the direction of rotation of the base member. Storage compartments can be provided for storing the wheels or discs, and the storage compartments can be made rotatable for use in game play in selecting particular sides of wheels or discs to come into game play.
