摘要

Gaming chairs and wagering game systems and machines with a gaming chair are presented herein. A gaming chair is disclosed for a wagering game system with a controller and a display device for displaying aspects of the wagering game. The gaming chair includes a backrest portion, a seat portion, a base for supporting the seat and backrest portions, and a mounting plate attached to the seat portion. The mounting plate is configured to attach, one at a time, to each of first and second mounting assemblies for removably attaching the mounting plate to the base. The first mounting assembly includes at least one actuator for selectively repositioning the seat portion in response to signals from the controller. The second mounting assembly is selectively repositionable with respect to the base to thereby lock the seat portion at any one of a number of vertically stationary heights.
