摘要： A method for playing a wagering game includes receiving a wager input from a player for playing a wagering game. In response to receiving the wager input, at least one randomly-selected outcome of a plurality of outcomes is selected, and visual indicia is presented during a first game cycle of the wagering game. The visual indicia is randomly changed to altered visual indicia in a subsequent game cycle of the wagering game, wherein the altered visual indicia provides a fresh look for the subsequent game cycle of the wagering game.

摘要： A method of conducting a video poker game is disclosed. After a player makes a wager, a plurality of face-up cards are dealt from a deck into a card hand. If any of the face-up cards is a predefined special card, the game proceeds with a special feature that allows the player to draw a replacement card to replace the special card. The replacement card may be drawn from a plurality of possible face-up or face-down cards. The game may include a standard draw option that allows a player to select and replace none or more of the face-up cards. The special card may trigger the special feature at any time, whether it appears before or after the draw. The game determines a poker hand ranking of the final card hand and provides an award based on that ranking.

摘要： A gaming machine having a pick and spin bonus scheme is provided where, in response to a player selection from among a number of selections, or picks, (1) game play occurs yielding a game play outcome, and (2) a separate action occurs where the separate action is a result of the player selection. The final outcome therefore, is a combination of the result of the game play outcome plus the result of the separate action. For a slot machine having a pick and spin bonus scheme, in response to a player selection of a tile from a row of tiles where multiple rows of tiles form a grid, (1) video reels spin and stop yielding a game play outcome and (2) a separate action occurs where the separate action is a result of the player tile selection. The separate action may enhance, prolong or end bonus game play.

摘要： Gaming machines are disclosed having a basic mode defining a plurality of reels and a bonus mode defining a plurality of stations about a game board (e.g., MONOPOLY board) traversable by a token identifier. The disclosure describes a plurality of play features for the basic and/or bonus modes including (1) a feature allowing the player to select a game token; (2) a feature allowing the player to predict and wager on landing position(s) of the token identifier; (3) a feature allowing the player to obtain deferred-execution instruction(s) which are exercisable by the processor to override later-issued instruction(s) otherwise to be executed by the processor; (4) a feature in which to movements of the token identifier are determined according to movement tables corresponding to the various stations of the game board; (5) a feature in which escalating bonuses are awarded for reaching a designated bonus square (e.g., the ‘GO’ square); (6) a feature in which bonuses are awarded for completing groups of stations (e.g., color groups); and (7) a feature in which the gaming machine includes two bonus modes, each entered upon certain symbol combinations in the basic game. The first bonus game provides an award selected from a plurality of fixed values and multipliers, and the second bonus game moves a token identifier on a game board and provides an award determined by the landing station of the token identifier.

摘要： In producing hollow bodies by blow molding from thermoplastic material, a preferably tubular preform is firstly formed, and is then expanded within the blowing mold under the effect of an inert gas under high pressure, until it bears entirely against the inside surface of the blowing mold. Thereafter, a reaction gas such as fluorine is introduced into the hollow body under a considerably lower pressure, while the hollow body is still in the mold, to treat the internal surface of the hollow body to render it impervious to gas and/or liquid. After the reaction has elapsed, a flushing and cooling gas is introduced into the hollow body and is then removed from the blowing mold after the hollow body has sufficiently set.

摘要： Blow molding apparatus for the manufacture of hollow bodies from a thermoplastic, in which a screw-extruder forms a parison into a receiving station. A blow mold is movable to and fro between the receiving station and a mold release station, the blow mold consisting of at least two parts which can be opened so that the blow mold encompasses the parison in the receiving station. The length of the parison extruded is detected when it reaches a given length corresponding to the length of the mold. Control means are provided, these being operable only by the means for detecting the parison length, and cause the mold parts to close on the parison. Time dependent open-loop control means control the movement of the blow-mold so that it is in the open position in the receiving station before the length of the parison has reached the given length, so that it is ready to close immediately the given length is reached.
