Gaming device having mechanical indicator with values and modifiers and selection of values and modifiers

1. A method for operating a gaming device, said method comprising:

(a) displaying a symbol generator including a plurality of sections and a plurality of symbols, wherein each section includes one of said symbols;

(b) determining one of said symbols to indicate for a single activation of the symbol generator, said single activation including a plurality of movements of said symbol generator;

(c) after determining one of said symbols to indicate for said single activation of the symbol generator:

(i) moving said symbol generator;

(ii) stopping said movement of the symbol generator to cause an indicator to indicate a first point of said symbol generator, wherein said first point is a non-symbol position that is located between the section associated with said determined symbol and another one of the sections;

(iii) after stopping said movement of the symbol generator to cause the indicator to indicate the first point, causing the indicator to indicate said other section at least once;

(iv) after causing the indicator to indicate said other section at least once, causing the indicator to indicate the section associated with said determined symbol at least once; and

(v) after causing the indicator to indicate the section associated with said determined symbol at least once, causing a final indication of said section associated with said determined symbol; and

(d) providing an outcome to a player based on said determined symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symbol generator is selected from a group consisting of: reels, dice and wheels.

3. The method of claim 1 , which includes moving said indicator to indicate the first point and said section associated with said determined symbol.

4. The method of claim 1 , which includes providing a mechanical symbol generator and rotating the symbol generator about an axis.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said plurality of symbols includes modifier symbols and award value symbols.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said other section is adjacently arranged to said determined section.

7. The method of claim 1 , which includes designating a plurality of the symbols as terminators and repeating steps (b) to (d) until the gaming device indicates a terminator.

8. The method of claim 1 , which includes repeating steps (b) to (d) a predetermined number of times.

9. The method of claim 1 , which includes repeating steps (b) to (d), accumulating all of the determined symbols and basing an outcome on the accumulated determined symbols.

10. The method of claim 1 , which includes indicating the other section and then indicating a second section and then indicating the section associated with the determined symbol.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the determined symbol and the other symbol are adjacently arranged.

12. A method for operating a gaming device, said method comprising:

(a) displaying a symbol generator including a plurality of sections, wherein each section includes one of a plurality of symbols;

(b) determining a subset of sections to indicate for a single activation of the symbol generator, said single activation including a plurality of indications of the sections of said symbol generator, wherein said subset includes at least two sections;

(c) after determining a subset of sections to indicate for said single activation of the symbol generator:

(i) indicating a first point of said symbol generator, wherein said first point is located in the subset of sections and said first point is a non-symbol position;

(ii) after indicating the first point, indicating one of the sections of the subset at least once;

(iii) after indicating one of the sections of the subset at least once, indicating another one of the sections of the subset at least once; and

(iv) indicating another one of the sections of the subset at least once, designating and indicating one of the sections of the subset; and

(d) providing an outcome to a player based on said symbol associated with the designated section.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the symbol generator is selected from a group consisting of: reels, dice and wheels.

14. The method of claim 12 , which includes moving said indicator to indicate said first point.

15. The method of claim 12 , which includes providing a mechanical symbol generator and rotating the symbol generator about an axis.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein said plurality of symbols includes modifier symbols and award value symbols.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein said subset of sections include adjacently arranged sections.

18. The method of claim 12 , which includes designating a plurality of the symbols as terminators and repeating steps (b) to (g) until the gaming device indicates a terminator.

19. The method of claim 12 , which includes repeating steps (b) to (g) a predetermined number of times.

20. The method of claim 12 , which includes repeating steps (b) to (g), accumulating all of the determined symbols and basing an outcome on the accumulated determined symbols.

21. The method of claim 12 , which includes moving said symbol generator to cause the indication of the sections.

22. The method of claim 12 , wherein said first point is located between two of the sections of the subset of sections.
