Abstract: The gaming system disclosed herein changes the focal point of a display device at different points in time to assist the player in focusing on different simultaneously or concurrently played games at different points in time. Specifically, the gaming system displays a plurality of simultaneously or concurrently played games on a display device. In response to a designated event occurring in association with a specific one of the plurality of simultaneously or concurrently played games, the gaming system changes the focal point of the display device to draw the player's focus or attention to that specific one of the simultaneously or concurrently played games. Put differently, the gaming system dynamically allocates and/or indicates different portions of a display device to different simultaneously or concurrently played games at different points in time to account for different events occurring in such simultaneously or concurrently played games.

Abstract: A linked gaming device system in which a plurality of gaming devices are linked by a common bonus event is provided. In one embodiment, the linked gaming device system includes a shared symbol generation display positioned adjacent to each of a plurality of associated gaming devices and having a plurality of sections and values displayed at each section. Upon a triggering of the bonus event, any player eligible to participate in the bonus may achieve an outcome generated from the bonus event including the shared display. When the shared display is activated, it simultaneously generates an individual outcome associated with each gaming device. The outcomes are spatially related to one another so that a random generation of an outcome associated with one gaming device automatically generates random outcomes associated with each gaming device. However, each gaming device receives the outcome only if it has participated in the random generation.

Abstract translation: 提供了其中多个游戏设备通过公共奖励事件链接的链接游戏设备系统。 在一个实施例中，链接的游戏设备系统包括与多个相关联的游戏设备中的每一个相邻定位并且在每个区段处显示多个区段和值的共享符号生成显示器。 在触发红利事件时，任何有资格参与奖金的玩家可以实现包括共享显示在内的奖励事件产生的结果。 当共享显示被激活时，它同时产生与每个游戏设备相关联的单个结果。 结果在空间上相互关联，使得与一个游戏设备相关联的结果的随机生成自动生成与每个游戏设备相关联的随机结果。 然而，每个游戏设备仅在参与随机生成时才接收结果。
