A method and gaming machine for generating display indicia in synchronization
with
an adjacent gaming machine is disclosed. The gaming machine includes a display,
an emitter, and a sensor. The sensor detects a first signal from the adjacent machine.
In response to the first signal or a game-related event in a game executed on the
machine, the machine generates the display indicia on the display and emits a second
signal from the emitter. The display indicia may vary depending upon whether it
is generated in response to the first signal or in response to the game-related
event. The second signal may be detected by yet another adjacent gaming machine
which, in turn, generates the display indicia on its display.
