Abstract
A rotary device for a game machine, comprises a rotatable member rotatable by a game player, a rotatable shaft having the rotatable member mounted thereon, a bias unit for biasing the rotatable shaft to its neutral position thereof, and a braking unit having a contacting member and a contacted member which are opposed to each other and adapted to give a rotational resistance to the rotatable shaft based on a contact resistance created by a variation of a distance between the contacting member and the contacted member.
