1. A gaming system, comprising:
an interface system configured for communication via one or more networks; and
a control system including one or more servers, the control system being configured for:
providing instructions, via the interface system, to an end user device (EUD) for controlling an EUD display system to concurrently present a plurality of progressive award meters, a plurality of first metamorphic images, and a second metamorphic image in a first state, the second metamorphic image being different from the first metamorphic images and being simultaneously displayed on the EUD display system, wherein each first metamorphic image is associated with a corresponding one of the progressive meters, and wherein the plurality of progressive award meters is associated with a plurality of progressive awards such that each progressive award meter is associated with a corresponding one of the progressive awards;
providing instructions, via the interface system, for controlling the EUD display system to present first visual effects corresponding to one or more instances of a game, the first visual effects including game events;
determining whether at least one of the progressive awards will be granted, wherein the granting of at least one of the progressive awards is in response to game event data corresponding to one or more games presented on the EUD and in response to networked gaming device game event data received via the interface system, the networked gaming device game event data corresponding to one or more games presented on one or more other EUDs;
providing instructions, via the interface system, for controlling, in response to the determining, the game event data, and the networked gaming device game event data, the EUD display system to present second visual effects involving changing the second metamorphic image from the first state to a second state thereby indicating that a successful outcome or a partially successful outcome will soon be indicated on the EUD display system and indicating that at least one of the first metamorphic images will change to another state; and
providing instructions, via the interface system, for controlling, in response to the determining and presenting the second visual effects, the EUD display system to present third visual effects involving changing at least one of the first metamorphic images from a third state to a fourth state thereby indicating the successful outcome or the partially successful outcome.
