Claim:
A gaming system comprising: at least one display device; at least one input device; at least one processor; and at least one memory device which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate with the at least one display device and the at least one input device to: (a) display a plurality of rotors in a decoupled mode, the rotors including one rotor positioned within a perimeter of another rotor, the rotors sharing a common axis of rotation, each one of the rotors having a plurality of game symbols, each one of the game symbols being indicatable by an indicator; (b) cause the plurality of displayed rotors in the decoupled mode to rotate independent of each other; and (c) in response to receiving an input while the rotors are rotating in the decoupled mode: cause a change from the decoupled mode to a coupled mode; and thereafter, display the plurality of rotors coupled to each other and synchronously rotating in the coupled mode.
