The method includes creating value elements and inserting them onto individual gaming machines in a bank of gaming machines. The value elements can be seen visually by players so that the players can monitor the status of the bonus game while playing the base game. Also disclosed is an apparatus capable of carrying out the above method as well as a media carrying an instruction set for carrying out the above method.
1. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising: causing each of a plurality of individual gaming machines to display a play of a base game, wherein: an outcome of each play of each base game is determined at least in part by at least one random determination, andone of a plurality
1.

The method of claim 2, which includes generating a first speed of travel through a first display portion of the bonus apparatus associated with a first of the individual gaming machines based on a first signal strength of the first of the individual gaming machines and generating a second, different speed of travel through a second display portion of the bonus apparatus associated with a second of the individual gaming machines based on a second, different signal strength of the second of the individual gaming machines. 4. The method of claim 1, which includes displaying a value associated with at least one of the plurality of value elements. 5. The method of claim 1, which includes masking a value associated with at least one of the plurality of the value elements. 6. The method of claim 1, which includes: triggering a bonus;determining if one of the value elements includes a jackpot element; andconverting a value of the value element from an initial value to a jackpot value. 7. The method of claim 1, which includes, for at least one of the value elements, generating a linger time of an amount of time said value element stays in one of the plurality of display portions of the bonus apparatus. 8. The method of claim 7, which includes generating a first linger time for a first one of the individual gaming machines, and generating a second, different linger time for a second, different one of the individual gaming machines. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the linger time for a one of the value elements through a first display portion of the bonus apparatus associated with a first of the individual gaming machines is based on a first signal strength of the first of the individual gaming machines and the linger time for said one of the value elements through a second display portion of the bonus apparatus associated with a second of the individual gaming machines is based on a second, different signal strength of the second of the individual gaming machine. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the triggering event includes a play of a bonus game. 11. A computerized method of operating a gaming system having a plurality of individual gaming machines and a bonus apparatus operatively coupled to said plurality of individual gaming machines, the method comprising: associating a plurality of display stations of the bonus apparatus with a plurality of the individual gaming machines;placing causing the bonus apparatus to display a plurality of value elements, the value elements being movable to a plurality of the display stations of the bonus apparatus;enabling a plurality of players of the plurality of individual gaming machines to each place at least one wager on at least one play of at least one base game;associating an attractive signal strength to each of the plurality of individual gaming machines, the attractive signal strength of each individual gaming machine being based, at least in part, on any wagers placed on any plays of any base games of said individual gaming machine, wherein a determination of if at least one value element moves to the display station of the bonus apparatus associated with the individual gaming machine is based, at least in part, on the attractive signal strength of said individual gaming machine; andif a triggering event occurs in association with at least one of the individual gaming machines, providing the player of said at least one individual gaming machine an award based on any value elements displayed, when the triggering event occurs, at the display station of the bonus apparatus associated with the individual gaming machine, wherein said triggering event occurs distinct from any determination of if any value elements are displayed at the display station of the bonus apparatus associated with the individual gaming machine. 12. The method of claim 11, which includes presenting a status of a quantity of value elements at one of the display stations of the bonus apparatus. 13. The method of claim 11, which includes presenting a status of a quantity of value elements at one of the display stations of the bonus apparatus associated with one of the individual gaming machines, and presenting a quantity of value elements at at least another one of the display stations of the bonus apparatus associated with another one of the individual gaming machines. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the value elements include icons displayed at the display stations of the bonus apparatus. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein a size of at least one of the value elements is related to a value of said at least one value element. 16. The method of claim 14, which includes causing the bonus apparatus to display a number indicating a value in association with at least one of the value elements. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein a value of each of a plurality of the value elements is not revealed prior to the occurrence of the triggering event. 18. The method of claim 11, which includes varying a travel speed of the value elements. 19. The method of claim 11, which includes varying an amount of time one of the value elements is displayed at the display stations of the bonus apparatus, wherein the value elements stays longer at display stations of the bonus apparatus associated with individual gaming machines having higher signal strengths. 20. A non-transitory machine-readable medium that provides instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: associating a plurality of display stations of a bonus apparatus with a plurality of individual gaming machines;causing the bonus apparatus to display a plurality of value elements, the value elements being movable to a plurality of the display stations of the bonus apparatus;enabling a plurality of players of the plurality of individual gaming machines to each place at least one wager on at least one play of at least one base game;associating an attractive signal strength to each of the individual gaming machines, the attractive signal strength of each individual gaming machine being based, at least in part, on any wagers placed on any plays of any base games of said individual gaming machine, wherein a determination of if at least one value element moves to the display station of the bonus apparatus associated with the individual gaming machine is based, at least in part, on the attractive signal strength of said individual gaming machine; andif a triggering event occurs in association with at least one of the individual gaming machines, providing the player of said at least one individual gaming machine an award based on any value elements displayed, when the triggering event occurs, at the display station of the bonus apparatus associated with the individual gaming machine, wherein said triggering event occurs distinct from any determination of if any value elements are displayed at the display station of the bonus apparatus associated with the individual gaming machine. 21.
