Abstract: A computer implemented method of operating a gaming system can include determining that a first event has been triggered on a first electronic gaming machine (“EGM”). The method can further include, responsive to determining that the first event has been triggered on the first EGM, causing a probability of triggering a second event on a second EGM to be adjusted based on a proximity of the second EGM to the first EGM.

Abstract: A first electronic gaming machine (“EGM”) includes a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the EGM to perform operations. The operations include determining that an event has been triggered on a second EGM. The second EGM can be separate from the first EGM. The operations can further include, responsive to determining that the event has been triggered on the second EGM, providing an incentive on the first EGM.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of an apparatus. The apparatus includes a grippable portion, a hook, a blade, and a blade recess. The hook extends from the grippable portion. The hook includes interior and exterior surfaces. The interior surface is proximate the grippable portion. The interior surface extends away from the grippable portion to form a blade recess between the hook and the grippable portion. The exterior surface is distal to the grippable portion and converges with the interior surface to form a hook. The blade recess is formed between the hook and the grippable portion. The blade recess has a curved apex where the interior surface of the hook meets the grippable portion. The blade is integrated within the blade recess to be proximate the curved apex of the blade recess with a sharpened edge of the blade facing away from the curved apex of the blade recess.

Abstract: A flexible plastic, resin or polymer material forming a trial plate for use is surgery of bones including spine and extremities. The trial plate having at least one radioopaque region and which may have one radiolucent region. In some instances a main body includes one or more arms formed of subparts. Between the main body and subparts and between the subparts are rangible regions such a ribs or unbroken edges surrounding windows configured as predetermined break points to disassociate portions of an arm from the whole.
