Abstract

A computerized wagering game system has a gaming module and an audio module. The gaming module comprises a processor and gaming code which is operable when executed on the processor to conduct a wagering game on which monetary value can be wagered; and the audio module is operable to generate sounds to be played through one or more speakers, where the sounds are configured to indicate a change in game rules. In a further embodiment, the sound played indicates a change in at least one of odds of winning, award for winning, or eligibility for a bonus, or indicates accumulation or opportunity to accumulate a game element as part of an ongoing or long-term game. In other embodiments, the sound indicating a change in game rules is presented independent of changes between normal game play and bonus round game play, and is consistent with a theme of the wagering game.
