Abstract: A gaming machine, method, and program product provide a slot machine game with a tiered bonus feature. A bonus feature includes a bonus feature prize selector and a bonus feature control selector. The bonus feature prize selector selects a current prize, and the bonus feature control selector selects a control outcome governing bonus feature prize selector. The control outcome may be awarding a current bonus prize selected or upgrading the current bonus prize selected on the first bonus wheel. In response to the upgrading outcome being selected, the bonus feature prize selector is made to select a replacement current prize from among a subset of the number of bonus feature prize tiers comprising each bonus feature prize tier having a value higher than prior value of the current prize.

Abstract: A seat with an adjusting mechanism for selectively changing a contour and firmness of the seat. A force/pressure sensor is arranged between the contour of the seat which is in contact with the occupant, and the adjusting mechanism. The force/pressure sensor measures the actual force/pressure with which the occupant presses upon the seat, and which force/pressure is adjustable by the respective adjusting mechanism. A control unit stores a desired force/pressure value for the seat, and controls the adjusting mechanism to drive the actual force/pressure towards the desired force/pressure. The seat also has an operator interface which receives input from an operator. The control unit has a manual mode where the adjusting mechanism is only controlled by the operator interface. The control unit in the automatic mode records the actual value from the force/pressure sensor when the operator adjusts the seat through the interface.
