Claims (9)

1. A gaming system comprising:

at least two adjacent gaming devices, the gaming devices comprising at least one input device to receive an input from a player and at least one display device to relay gaming information to the player, and

a holographic image system configured to project a holographic image into a space outside of the gaming devices and where the holographic image is projected and formed horizontally outwardly spaced from a frontmost vertical plane of one of the gaming devices, wherein the at least two adjacent gaming devices are arranged in a bank of gaming devices,

wherein the holographic image system projects a plurality of holographic images with at least one holographic image being associated with a bonus event, and

wherein the holographic images are projected into a space vertically above player's playing positions surrounding the bank of gaming devices.

2. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the holographic images are projected as randomly moving around the gaming devices of the bank of gaming devices to define an outcome of the bonus event.

3. The gaming system of claim 1 , wherein the holographic images are projected moving around the gaming devices of the bank of gaming devices based upon a player input to define an outcome of the bonus event.
