主权项 1. An electronic gaming machine comprising: a cabinet; a display coupled to the cabinet; a wheel coupled to the cabinet, the wheel comprising: a hub centered on a central axis,a plurality of wheel segments positioned axially about the hub, each wheel segment having an inner end connected to the hub such that an outer end of each wheel segment can be raised and lowered in a direction that is generally parallel to the central axis, andan indicator configured to rotate about the central axis and configured to indicate an indicated wheel segment, wherein the indicated wheel segment is one of the plurality of wheel segments, wherein the indicated wheel segment changes as the indicator rotates about the central axis; a wheel controller configured to control the rotation of the indicator; and a processor communicatively coupled to the display and the wheel controller, wherein the processor is configured to provide game play of a wager-based game to a player, display gaming information to the player through the display, detect a trigger event during game play of the wager-based game, and instruct the wheel controller cause rotation of the indicator around the wheel; wherein the indicated wheel segment is moved into a raised position with respect to the other wheel segments of the plurality of wheel segments; and wherein the changing of the indicated wheel segment as the indicator rotates around the hub provides a visual wave effect to the player during the presentation of the bonus game.
