Abstract: A gaming system and method including providing a community or group bonus event to a plurality of players at a plurality of gaming devices. For each of the players determined as eligible to participate in a triggered group bonus event, the gaming system determines that player's relative probability of winning a group bonus event award in the triggered bonus event. In one such embodiment, each player's relative probability of winning the group bonus event award is based on that player's wagering history, such as any amounts wagered by that player, the frequency of placing such wagers and/or frequency of not placing any wagers.

Abstract: A gaming system providing a falling symbol obstacle board game. The gaming system displays a symbol starting position, a plurality of symbol ending positions, and a plurality of obstacles. The gaming system selects one of a plurality of symbols, displays the symbol moving from the symbol starting position into one of the symbol ending positions along one of a plurality of symbol paths through the obstacles, and displays the symbol at the symbol ending position at the end of the symbol path. The gaming system repeats selecting symbols, displaying the symbol moving from the symbol starting position to a symbol ending positions along a symbol path, and displaying the symbol at the symbol ending position at the end of the symbol path until a termination condition is satisfied, after which the gaming system determines whether any winning combinations of the symbols are displayed at the symbol ending positions.

Abstract: A gaming device having at least one changed player stimuli and a method of changing player stimuli associated with a player input device are disclosed for enhancing a player's interest, excitement, length of play, and enjoyment of the casino gaming experience while operating the gaming device. The gaming device comprises of at least one player input device and generates player stimuli after each activation of the player input device. The gaming device changes the player stimuli when a predetermined number of consecutive activations of the player input device is reached. The player stimuli may also change when a predetermined number of consecutive activations of the player input device occurs in a predetermined period of time.
