Abstract:
A gaming machine has a wager-input device for receiving a first wager from a player to play a wagering game having a basic game and a bonus game. A display displays a plurality of symbols located thereon during the basic game. The symbols indicate a randomly-selected outcome selected from a plurality of outcomes in response to the wager. The plurality of outcomes includes a bonus-triggering outcome. A set of available game-enhancement parameters is displayed and the player is provided an option of submitting a second wager to purchase at least one of the set of available game-enhancement parameters. The set of available game-enhancement parameters provides an enhancement selected from the group consisting of: additional bonus-triggering outcomes providing a higher probability of triggering the bonus game, and enhanced awards during the bonus game.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a gaming terminal and a method of playing a wagering game. The wagering game includes a plurality of symbols arranged along one or more paylines that indicate a randomly selected outcome of the wagering game in response to a wager input. A winning combination of symbols along the paylines may be arranged in either a left-to-right order or a right-to-left order. In one embodiment, a player makes a first wager input that is associated with one or more paylines corresponding to a left-to-right arrangement of symbols. A player is then allowed to make a second wager input that is associated with one or more paylines corresponding to a right-to-left arrangement of symbols. The second wager input associated with right-to-left paylines is not equal to, and may be less than, the first wager input associated with left-to-right paylines.

Abstract:
An information processing system implements an intelligent remediation system for security-related events. The intelligent remediation system comprises a classifier configured to process information characterizing the events in order to generate respective risk scores, and a data store coupled to the classifier and configured to store feedback from one or more users regarding the risk scores. The classifier is configured to utilize the feedback regarding the risk scores to learn riskiness of particular events and to adjust its operation based on the learned riskiness, such that the risk score generated by the classifier for a given one of the events is based at least in part on the feedback received regarding risk scores generated for one or more previous ones of the events. A user interface is provided to allow one or more users to supply the feedback regarding the risk scores.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are resinous dispersions suitable for use in an electrodepositable coating composition. The resinous dispersions include: (a) an epoxy-amine adduct formed as the reaction product of reactants comprising (i) an epoxy-containing compound having at least one active hydroxyl group; and (ii) an amine-containing compound having a primary and a tertiary amine group; (b) an acid; (c) a second epoxy-containing compound; and (d) water. The resinous dispersion may be introduced into cationic electrodepositable coating compositions. Coated substrates formed with such cationic electrodepositable coating compositions may achieve 60° gloss readings of 3 or less at conventional film builds.
Abstract:
Apparatus for lifting a hollow frame when the apparatus is attached to a hoist, comprising a pair of lifting members each in the form of a bell crank having an upright arm and a lateral arm, extending outwardly from a lower end of the upright arm, outer ends of the lateral arms having flanges for engaging the interior of the frame to be lifted. The lifting members are connected back-to-back by brackets and a central pivot. Suspension chains connect upper ends of the upright arms to a hoist chain such that the suspension chains slope outwardly from the hoist chain to the arms, and so that when the hoist chain applies tension to the suspension chains the upright arms are pulled towards each other while causing the lateral arms to extend and engage with the inside of the hollow frame.
Abstract:
A method for playing a wagering game. The method includes conducting a basic game having a randomly selected outcome. The randomly selected outcome is selected from a plurality of outcomes and is indicated by a plurality of symbols. Each of the plurality of symbols has a first function. A side-wager option is presented that allows a player to change a function of a certain one of the plurality of symbols to one of a plurality of second functions. In response to the player selecting the side-wager option, one of the plurality of second functions is selected. Also, the second function is attributed to the certain one of the plurality of symbols when the randomly selected outcome is indicated.
Abstract:
A method of conducting a wagering game includes determining a randomly-selected outcome in response to receiving a wager input from a player. The randomly-selected outcome is selected from a plurality of outcomes that includes at least one winning outcome. Each of the plurality of outcomes is represented via a plurality of symbols arranged in a plurality of columns. The method further includes displaying the randomly-selected outcome. A prize is awarded if a symbol combination is aligned along an active payline to indicate the winning outcome. The symbol combination includes a number of symbols that is less than the number of columns.
