ABSTRACT:
A gaming device and method for enhancing an award or a transfer of a plurality of credits. The gaming device and method initially displays one or more audio and visual signals as the device begins to transfer gaming device credits. At certain points, preferably in accordance with the gaming device theme, the device selectively adds one or more visual and audio signals to the original display, as the device transfers more and more credits. The method of adding consecutive layers of sound and visual displays creates denser, richer and more complex displays that associates with larger amounts of accumulated credits. The method contemplates basing the set points on a predetermined amount of time, or a percentage of total credits transferred or on a number of credits transferred. Preferably, when the final credit is issued, the gaming device and method provides a final sound and visual display, which terminates the previously built up layers and brings the credit accumulation to its conclusion.
