A gaming system includes a control and management device which determines a link attraction based on gaming information sent from each of a plurality of gaming apparatuses. The control and management device identifies a target gaming apparatus in which a prize is generated and at least one neighboring gaming apparatus, based on the gaming information. The control and management device judges whether the link attraction for the plurality of gaming apparatuses has already been determined, when the gaming information is winning information. Further, the control and management device determines the link attraction by reference to a link attraction mode lottery table stored in a memory, if it is determined the link attraction has not yet been determined. The control and management device determines a unit number and, subsequently, sends the link attraction to the target gaming apparatus with the unit number and the at least one neighboring gaming apparatus.
