A device for movably coupling a gaming piece to a substantially non-magnetic surface having opposite first and second sides is disclosed. The device comprises a base which is mounted to the gaming piece, the base comprising a housing, a first and second magnet and a first support element positioned between the first and second magnets. The first support element is dimensioned and configured to support the base on the first side of the surface. The device has a magnetic coupling positioned on the second side of the surface, said magnetic coupling comprising a spindle member having an axis of rotation and a first and second magnet, the spindle member being rotatably mounted in a carriage housing. The carriage housing is adapted and configured to position the magnets of the spindle in close proximity to the opposite side of the surface without making contact with said surface, the base housing, support member and the carriage housing configured to position the magnets of the base in close proximity to the magnets of the magnetic coupling when the base and magnetic coupling are positioned across each other on opposite sides of the surface. The device also having an elongated rod having an axis and opposite first and second ends, a first end rotatably mounted to the carriage, the second end of the elongated rod adapted to be grasped by a user, the first end of the elongated rod coupled to the spindle such that rotating the elongated rod causes a corresponding rotation of the spindle.
