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.
