exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A method as claimed in  claim 21 , wherein different game accompanying sounds are produced by respective ones of the plurality of gaming devices based on different games. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . A method as claimed in  claim 21 , wherein the individual sounds are associated with respective ones of a plurality of game events which can occur on at least one gaming device. 
     
     
         6 . A method as claimed in  claim 5 , comprising outputting a composite sound formed from sounds associated with game events which occur together. 
     
     
         7 . A method as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein individual sounds are associated with respective ones of a plurality of symbols and each game event involves the symbols being displayed on a display. 
     
     
         8 . A method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein each game event involves the symbols forming part of a winning combination.

         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 22 , and wherein the sound controller is configured to control the sound such that different game accompanying sounds are produced by speakers of respective ones of the plurality of gaming devices based on different games. 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 22 , wherein the individual sounds are associated with respective ones of a plurality of game events which can occur on at least one gaming device. 
     
     
         16 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the sound controller is configured to control the at least one speaker to output a composite sound formed from sounds associated with game events which occur together. 
     
     
         17 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein individual sounds are associated with respective ones of a plurality of symbols and each game event involves the symbols being displayed on a display. 
     
     
         18 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein each game event involves the symbols forming part of a winning combination. 
     
     
         19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A method of gaming for use with a gaming system having a plurality of gaming devices each having a speaker, each of the plurality of gaming devices corresponding to a different sound, and wherein each of the gaming devices is configured to play a game in which sound effects are associated with the respective sound, the method comprising:
 determining if a win has occurred in one of the plurality of gaming devices; and   in response to determining that a win has occurred in the one of the plurality of gaming devices, controlling the respective speakers of the plurality of gaming devices to produce a moving sound effect, the moving sound effect traveling via each of the plurality of gaming devices and stopping at the one of the plurality of gaming devices.   
     
     
         22 . A gaming system comprising:
 a plurality of gaming devices each having a speaker, each of the plurality of gaming devices corresponding to a different sound, and wherein each of the gaming devices is configured to play a game in which sound effects are associated with the respective sound;   a bonus controller configured to determine if a win has occurred in one of the plurality of gaming devices; and   a sound controller configured to, in response to the bonus controller determining that a win has occurred in the one of the plurality of gaming devices, control the respective speakers of the plurality of gaming devices to produce a moving sound effect, the moving sound effect traveling via each of the plurality of gaming devices and stopping at the one of the plurality of gaming devices.   
     
     
         23 . A gaming system comprising:
 a plurality of speakers;   a plurality of gaming devices each associated with at least one of the speakers, each of the plurality of gaming devices corresponding to a different sound; and   a controller configured to: 1) to determine if a win has occurred in one of the plurality of gaming devices, and 2) in response to the bonus controller determining that a win has occurred in the one of the plurality of gaming devices, control the respective speakers of the plurality of gaming devices to produce a moving sound effect, the moving sound effect traveling via each of the plurality of gaming devices and stopping at the one of the plurality of gaming devices.   
     
     
         24 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 23 , and wherein the controller is further configured to control the sound such that different game accompanying sounds are produced by the speakers of respective ones of the plurality of gaming devices based on different games. 
     
     
         25 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein each of the speakers is a speaker of one of the plurality of gaming devices. 
     
     
         26 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the individual sounds are associated with respective ones of a plurality of game events which can occur on at least one gaming device. 
     
     
         27 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the respective speakers to output a composite sound formed from sounds associated with game events which occur together. 
     
     
         28 . A gaming system as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein individual sounds are associated with respective ones of a plurality of symbols and each game event involves the symbols being displayed on a display.
