Abstract: Technology for providing bonus symbol collection for skill-based games in a gaming system is disclosed. An electronic gaming machine (EGM) may collect one or more upgrade symbols generated from an outcome of a primary game funded by one or more wagers such that the one or more upgrade symbols are categorized according to a type of symbol for use in a skill-based bonus game. The skill-based bonus game may be accessed according to the one or more primary game outcomes. One or more upgrade symbols may be used to enhance player performance of one or more quantifiable skill-based inputs during the skill-based bonus game.

Abstract: A running board assembly is designed such that it does not adversely effect the triggering properties of a side-impact airbag system. In a first embodiment, upon incurring an impact, the running board moves to a position inward of the side of the vehicle at a controlled collapsing load. The controlled collapsing load does not adversely effect the trigger point at which a side-impact airbag system must not deploy nor does it adversely effect the trigger point at which a side-impact airbag system must deploy. In a second embodiment, the structure of the running board assembly is designed to transfer a side-impact load directly to the vehicle's side-impact airbag system.
