Publication number: 20230334953Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a display device that displays an electronic game including a base game, a feature game, and metamorphic features, and a game controller that executes instructions stored in a memory. The instructions, when executed, cause the game controller to determine that the feature game is triggered based on a result of the base game and initiate the feature game; identify one or more of the metamorphic features to be active during the feature game; cause display of an indication of the active metamorphic features; for each feature symbol appearing in a play area during the feature game, determine a feature value for each active metamorphic feature and add the feature value to a portion of the feature symbol associated with a respective active metamorphic feature; and upon conclusion of the feature game, generate an award total for each active metamorphic feature and provide the award total.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Eric Boese, Bradley Schultz, Brandon Richard

Publication number: 20200180503Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a process for controlling the exterior lighting of an autonomous vehicle using autonomous modes of operation detected. In some modes, certain forms of exterior lighting normally required in manual operation are not necessary when the vehicle is in particular modes. Because of this, a control system is configured to dim or deactivate the headlights when one autonomous vehicle is following another autonomous vehicle. Similarly, taillights can be dimmed or turned off where an autonomous vehicle is leading another autonomous vehicle. This, in one respect, serves to conserve energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Rick Buyck, Brandon Richards, Suhas Purkar, Steve Wichmann
