Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of an apparatus having a rotatable wheel, a mechanical annular rotatable bezel overlaying at least a portion of the wheel, and an electronic controller, coupled to the bezel. The bezel is rotatable via manual player input to the bezel. The electronic controller determines a rotational motion of the bezel in response to the manual player input to the bezel. The electronic controller further directs rotation of the wheel in accordance with the determined rotational motion of the bezel.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a mechanical wheel display assembly including a mechanical rotatable bezel surrounding a mechanical wheel. The mechanical wheel display input assembly is suitable for use in a gaming terminal, a gaming cabinet or a gaming machine. Direction and speed of a manual rotation of the bezel is detected and interpreted. The result may be used to control various aspects of operation of the gaming terminal, gaming cabinet or gaming machine, including providing input for game play. The mechanical wheel may be rotated in real-time to reflect the rotation of the bezel. A motor may be coupled to the rotatable bezel to provide resistance, assistance or operator feedback.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a video display input assembly including a mechanical rotatable bezel surrounding the video display. The video display input assembly is suitable for use in a gaming terminal, a gaming cabinet or a gaming machine, including as a retrofit to an pre-existing gaming machine. Direction and speed of a manual rotation of the bezel is detected and interpreted. The result may be used to control various aspects of operation of the gaming terminal, gaming cabinet or gaming machine, including providing input for game play. The video display may be updated in real-time to reflect the rotation of the bezel. A motor may be coupled to the rotatable bezel to provide resistance, assistance or operator feedback.
