A rotating wheel system includes face segments separated by posts positioned around a perimeter and a flexible pointer that interacts with the pegs as the wheel rotates. The system controls rotation of the wheel, randomly selects a segment at which to stop prior to the wheel being rotated based on a randomly selected friction deceleration and a randomly selected damping time constant, and controls rotation of the wheel to make it appear as though the wheel randomly stopped at the preselected segment. The system includes one or more player stations that are notified of the selected segment after the wheel is stopped. The system includes a second bonus wheel that is triggered when the selected segment is a trigger segment. The bonus wheel can be a physical wheel that is part of the wheel, a display that is part of the wheel, or displayed on a player station.

An electronic gaming system with a visual display system has a player input station for at least entering wagers on an underlying wagering event. The system includes a processor providing signal content to the visual display system. The player input station further has an electric-field communication input device that is simultaneously responsive to a player's hand movements in three dimensions and with respect to velocity. A communication link exists from the electric-field communication input device to the processor and then to the visual display system to provide image signals transmitted from the processor to the visual display system. The image signals are varied in response to sensed hand movements in at least one of the three dimensions and velocity, wherein the visual display system displays an image varied in response to sensed hand movements. The caused variations have no effect on a random outcome in the underlying wagering event.
