Disclosed are methods and apparatus, including computer program product s, implementing and using techniques for compensating for a player choice in a game of chance. A plurality of outcomes is defined. A sequence of positions corresponding to the plurality of outcomes is provided, including a reference position. A plurality of pointers is situated at positions in the sequence. Each pointer has an offse t value with respect to the reference position along the sequence of positions. Responsiv e to selection of one of the pointers, the reference position is moved according to the offset value associated with the selected one pointer, so that the selected one pointer points at the reference position. A number is received. The received number determines one of the plurality of outcomes according to a predefined probability associated with the reference position. The determined one outcome is output at the reference position. Alternatively, a plurality of pay tables is provided. Ea ch pay table is associated with a respective one of the plurality of pointers. Each pay table also stores a set of predefined probabilities for the set of outcomes. Responsive to selection of one of the pointers, one of the pay tables is selected. The received number determines one of the plurality of outcomes in the selected pay table according to the predefined probability for the determined one outcome in th e selected pay table.
