chair that immerses players with the full motion of virtual cars
and three gameplay monitors that encompass players in a virtual
environment. The chair will twist, turn, rumble, vibrate, and emit

auto race. The game builds on the success of IGT's original Race
Ace game from its Video Reel Edge™ (VRE) game family.

Cleopatra® Pinball® and
Texas Tea® Pinball® games,
