Abstract: A sensory simulation product testing method, system, and computer program product, include extracting at least one pain point associated with a user from a database, correlating at least one of an environment factor, a context factor, and a sentiment factor with the at least one user pain point, and creating an augmented reality in which to immerse the user to test a product based on the at least one of the environment factor, the context factor, and the sentiment factor.

Abstract: When a special symbol appears during play of the gaming machine game, the secondary game is initiated. At initiation, a bonus prize is determined by the secondary game microcontroller by consulting a bonus game paytable stored therein where each bonus prize corresponds to a bonus spot on the secondary game. A multi-ended pointer of the secondary game spins around the field of bonus spots and the player is prompted to select which end of the pointer is active. Upon selection of the end—e.g. blue or green—a microcontroller operating the spinner calculates the point at which the spinner will cease to spin so that the selected pointed end is pointing toward the selected bonus prize. The player is given the illusion that he or she controls which bonus prize is won since the green side of the pointer will point to a different bonus prize than the blue side.
