Thereafter, by depressing each unit button (1BET button 36A, 5BET button 36B, 10BET button 36C, 100BET button 36D) of the unit BET button 36, chips for the number of units are bet on the designated BET area 42. . For example, if the 10BET button 36C is pressed four times, the 5BET button 36B is pressed once, and the 1BET button 36A is pressed three times, a total of 48 chips can be bet.

(Display state of image display device 8 when hitting star 88)
Based on FIG. 1 which is an explanatory diagram of the display screen when the star mark 88 is hit, the star mark is used in the special magnification provision routine, the second special magnification provision routine, the Prog routine and the free spot provision routine (hereinafter, various routines) The display screen will be described on the first bet screen 31 when 88 is hit. In addition, the special magnification grant routine, the second special magnification grant routine, the Prog routine, and the free spot grant routine, which are specific privilege processing, will be described later.

  In the various routines, the player bets based on the BET screen 31 displayed on the image display device 8 of the station 4. After the betting period ends, the ball 27 is thrown into the wheel 22. Then, if the star 88 is on the number display board 25 in which the ball 27 is accommodated, the character for informing the player that the bonus has been awarded based on various routines is displayed in order to notify the player that the star 88 has been hit. Displayed on the device 8 (for example, in the case of a special magnification grant routine, the re-game is performed with the odds of the unit game set to double. At this time, the image display device 8 displays “privilege The character “grant” is displayed on the image display device 8 to notify the player that the game will be replayed.If the betted chip hits the winning number, the character “YOU WIN!” To inform the player that the game has been won again). Thereafter, if there is a reward refund based on various routines, the credit number display unit 38 displays the number of credits increased by the number of refunds. This completes the roulette game, and the BET screen 31 is displayed to accept a bet for the next game.

  On the other hand, if the star symbol 88 is not on the number display board 25 in which the ball 27 is accommodated, a character for notifying the player that the star symbol 88 is not hit is displayed on the image display device 8 (for example, “unfortunately” Is displayed on the image display device 8 to notify the player that the player has not been hit.) Thereafter, the credit amount display unit 38 displays the number of credits reduced by the number of bets. This completes the roulette game, and the BET screen 31 is displayed to accept a bet for the next game.

  The character information is stored in the ROM in the liquid crystal drive circuit 95, and the station control CPU 91 sequentially displays on the screen of the image display device 8 in accordance with the game progress information transmitted from the server control CPU 81. In addition, a character control signal is sent to the liquid crystal driving circuit 95 so that the character information stored in the ROM in the liquid crystal driving circuit 95 is displayed. Further, the station control CPU 91 sends a sound control signal to the sound output circuit 96 so as to produce a sound effect from the speaker 10 in accordance with the character control signal. As described above, by generating the image information and sound effects and notifying the player of the privilege grant information in the roulette game, the player's expectation for the roulette game may be increased.

(Bet form)
Next, a bet configuration will be described using the table-type betting board 30 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the “7” chip mark 41 placed on the “18” cell indicates that seven chips are bet on the number “18”. In this way, a method of betting on only one number is a bet form called “straight up”. Further, the chip mark 41 of “1” placed at the intersection of the squares of “5”, “6”, “8”, “9” has numbers “5”, “6”, “8”, “9” ”Indicates that one chip is betted covering the four numbers. A method of betting by covering four numbers in this way is a bet form called “corner bet”.

  As another bet form, the chip mark 41 of “3” placed at the intersection of the squares “16” and “17” bets covering two numbers on the line between the two numbers. “Split bet”. “Street bet” in which three numbers (for example, “13”, “14”, “15”) are covered and bet at the end of a horizontal row of numbers (vertical row in FIG. 5). “Five bet” in which five numbers “0”, “00”, “1”, “2”, and “3” are covered and bet on the line between the numbers “00” and “3”. Six numbers (for example, “13”, “14”, “15”, “16”, “17”, “18”) between the numbers in two horizontal rows of numbers (two rows in the vertical direction in FIG. 5). ) And bet “Double Street Bet”. A “column bet” where 12 numbers are covered and a bet is placed on the square labeled “2to1”. There is a “Dazzen Bet” where a number of 12 numbers are covered and bet on the grids labeled “1st12”, “2nd12”, and “3rd12”. Furthermore, using the six squares provided at the bottom of the table-type betting board 30, the “color bet” for betting by covering the color (“red” or “black”) of the number display board, “Even Head”, “Odd Head” to bet covering odd and even numbers, “Low Head”, “High Head” to bet covering 18 numbers depending on whether the number is 18 or less or 19 or more There are methods.

(Processing operation)
Next, the operation will be described based on the server-side game processing program executed by the server control CPU 81 in the roulette game machine 1 and the station-side game processing program executed by the station control CPU 91 on the station 4 side. 9 to 15 described below are stored in the ROM 82 and RAM 83 provided in the server 13 or the ROM 92 and RAM 93 provided in the station 4, and the server control CPU 81 is provided. Alternatively, it is executed by the station control CPU 91.

(Main control system operation 1: Special magnification provision routine)
A special magnification grant routine for granting a privilege when the player wins the star 88 in the roulette game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a roulette game processing program in the roulette game machine. Each program shown in the flowchart in FIG. 9 is stored in the ROM 82 or RAM 83 provided in the roulette game machine 1 and is executed by the server control CPU 81. In the processing in the special magnification provision routine, the position of the star 88 is set in advance and the unit game is started. Note that the unit game in the present embodiment refers to a series of operations until the player bets at each station 4, the ball 27 falls into the number pocket 23, and credits are paid out based on the winning number. .

  When the power is turned on to the roulette gaming machine 1, a special magnification grant routine in the roulette gaming machine 1 is executed, and a betting period that is a receiving period during which a player can bet on an arbitrary BET area 42 is started (B1). . When the betting period is started, in the BET timer count 39 that displays the remaining time during which the player can bet, the number starts to decrease with the passage of time. Then, a player who participates in the game can bet his / her chip in the BET area 42 related to the number that he / she expects during this betting period (see FIG. 5).

  Based on the elapse of a predetermined time from the start of the betting period (B1), the ball throwing device is driven and the ball 27 is thrown into the wheel 22 (B2).

  Next, in B3, it is determined whether or not the betting period has ended. Here, the bet period is displayed by the BET timer count 39, and the number starts to decrease with the passage of time from the start of the bet period (B1). Then, when it becomes 0, the betting period in the current game ends.

  Here, before the end of the betting period (B3: NO), the bet is continuously accepted until the end of the betting period. On the other hand, when the betting period ends (B3: YES), all the stations 4 A bet end signal is output to the station control unit 90, an image indicating that the betting period has ended is displayed on the image display device 8 of each station 4, and a bet operation on the touch panel 50 is prohibited. The server control CPU 81 ends the betting period and outputs a bet end signal to all the stations 4 (B3: YES), and then the bet information made by the player at each station 4 (designated BET area 42 and The number of chips bet on the designated BET area 42 is received (B4) and stored in the RAM 83. Here, when a bet is not placed in the BET area 42 in the station 4, information indicating that the BET area 42 is not designated and information that the number of bet chips is “0” are received as bet information.

  The ball 27 thrown in B2 rolls on the wheel 22 along the guide wall 29 while the processing of B3 and B4 is being performed, and after that, when the rotational speed decreases and the centrifugal force is lost, the frame 27 It rolls down the slope of the body 21 and goes inward to the rotating wheel 22. Then, the ball 27 rolls on the wheel 22, passes through the number display plate 25 on the outer side of the wheel 22 that further rotates, and is placed in one of the number pockets 23 and stops (B 5). A number (any one of “0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display plate 25 corresponding to the number pocket 23 in which the ball 27 is accommodated is the winning number.

  Subsequently, after the ball 27 is stored in the number pocket 23, the server control CPU 81 drives the hit determination device 86 to determine which number pocket 23 the ball 27 is stored in (B6).

  Further, it is determined from the bet information of each station 4 received in B4 and the winning number determined in B6 whether or not the chip betted in each station 4 is hit (B7).

  Then, based on the B7 hit determination, it is determined whether or not the star 88 is hit (B8). If the star mark 88 is hit (B8: YES), the odds of the unit game are set to double as shown in FIG. 8 (B11). Thereafter, the game is re-played with the bet made at B3 at the start of the game (B12: this is the same as the steps B2, B5, B6 and B7).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the betted chip hits the winning number determined in B12 (B13). Therefore, if it is a win (B13, YES), the server control CPU 81 executes a special payout calculation process (B14). In the special payout calculation process, a winning chip is recognized for each station 4, and a star bonus that is twice the normal odds (the number of credits paid out per chip) for each BET area 42 stored in the ROM 82 is obtained. Using the odds (see FIG. 8), the total amount of credits paid out to each station 4 is calculated. When it is determined that there is no winning chip in all the stations 4 (B13: NO), the process proceeds to B16.

  On the other hand, when the star mark 88 is not hit in B8 (B8, NO), it is determined whether or not the betted chip is hit in at least one station 4 based on the B7 hit determination (B9). . When the winning is B9 (B9, YES), the server control CPU 81 executes each payout calculation process (B10). In the payout calculation process, the winning chip is recognized for each station 4, and the normal odds (the number of credits paid out per chip) stored in the ROM 82 are used (see FIG. 8). 4 calculates the total dividend amount of credits to be paid out. When it is determined that there is no winning chip in all the stations 4 (B9: NO), the process proceeds to B15.

  After the process of B14, the process of B10, and the determination of NO in B9, in B15, the credit is paid out based on the dividend calculation process of B10, the credit is refunded and the winning number is determined based on the special dividend calculation process in B14. A game result transmission process for transmitting a signal related to the change in display to all the stations 4 is executed. When paying out credits to the station 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the server 13 to the station control unit 90 of the winning station 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding station 4.

  In B16, the ball collecting device provided below the wheel 22 is driven to collect the ball 27 on the wheel 22. The collected balls 27 will be thrown onto the wheel 22 again in the next and subsequent games. Then, it returns to B1 and shifts to the next game.

  When the power is turned on to the roulette gaming machine 1, a special magnification grant routine in the roulette gaming machine 1 is executed, and a betting period which is a receiving period during which a player can bet on an arbitrary BET area 42 is started (C1). . When the betting period is started, in the BET timer count 39 that displays the remaining time during which the player can bet, the number starts to decrease with the passage of time. Then, a player who participates in the game can bet his / her chip on the BET area 42 related to the number that he / she expects by operating the touch panel 50 during the betting period (see FIG. 5).

  Then, the ball throwing device is driven based on the elapse of a predetermined time (in this embodiment, the time until the number of the BET timer count 39 reaches “0”) from the start of the betting period (C1). The ball 27 is thrown into the wheel 22 (C2).

  Next, in C3, it is determined whether or not the betting period has ended. Here, the bet period is displayed by the BET timer count 39, and the count number starts to decrease to “0” from the start of the bet period (C1). Then, when the number of the BET timer count 39 becomes “0”, the betting period in the current game ends.

  Here, before the end of the betting period (C3: NO), the bet is continuously accepted until the end of the betting period. On the other hand, when the betting period ends (C3: YES), all the stations 4 A bet end signal is output to the station control unit 90, and an image indicating that the betting period has ended is displayed on the image display device 8 of each station 4, and a bet operation on the touch panel 50 is prohibited. The server control CPU 81 ends the betting period and outputs a bet end signal to all the stations 4 (C3: YES), and then the bet information (the designated BET area 42 and the designated BET area 42) The number of chips bet on the designated BET area 42 is received (C4) and stored in the RAM 83. Here, when a bet is not placed in the BET area 42 in the station 4, information indicating that the BET area 42 is not designated and information that the number of bet chips is “0” are received as bet information.

  The ball 27 thrown in C2 rolls on the wheel 22 along the guide wall 29 while the processing of C3 and C4 is being performed, and after that, when the rotational speed decreases and the centrifugal force is lost, the frame 27 It rolls down the slope of the body 21 and goes inward to the rotating wheel 22. Then, the ball 27 rolls on the wheel 22 and passes over the number display plate 25 on the outer side of the rotating wheel 22 and is placed in one of the number pockets 23 and stops (C5). A number (any one of “0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display plate 25 corresponding to the number pocket 23 in which the ball 27 is accommodated is the winning number.

  Subsequently, after the ball 27 is stored in the number pocket 23, the server control CPU 81 drives the hit determination device 86 to determine which number pocket 23 the ball 27 is stored in (C6).

  Further, it is determined from the bet information of each station 4 received in C4 and the winning number determined in C6 whether or not the chip betted in each station 4 is hit (C7).

  Then, based on the C7 hit determination, it is determined whether or not the star 88 is hit (C8). If the star symbol 88 is hit (C8: YES), the odds for the next unit game are set as double the star bonus odds as shown in FIG. 8 (C12). The odds information set to twice that amount is temporarily stored in the RAM 83. Thereafter, a ball collection process is performed at C13, and the unit game is once ended. Thereafter, the next unit game is performed based on the odds information set as double the odds of the star bonus stored in the RAM 83.

  On the other hand, if the star mark 88 is not hit in C8 (C8, NO), it is determined whether or not the betted chip is hit in at least one station 4 based on the C7 hit determination (C9). . If the winning is C9 (C9, YES), the server control CPU 81 executes each payout calculation process (C10). In the payout calculation process, the winning chip is recognized for each station 4, and the normal odds (the number of credits paid out per chip) stored in the ROM 82 are used (see FIG. 8). 4 calculates the total dividend amount of credits to be paid out. Thereafter, in C11, a game result transmission process is executed in which a signal relating to a change in display associated with the payout of credits based on the C10 payout calculation process and the determination of the winning number is transmitted to all stations 4. When paying out credits to the station 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the server 13 to the station control unit 90 of the winning station 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding station 4. If it is determined that there is no winning chip in all the stations 4 (C9: NO), the process proceeds to C13.

  After the process of C12, the process of C11, and the determination of NO in C9, in C16, the ball collecting device provided below the wheel 22 is driven, and the ball 27 on the wheel 22 is collected. The collected ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 in the next and subsequent games. Thereafter, the process returns to C1 and shifts to the next game.

A number (any one of “0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display plate 25 corresponding to the number pocket 23 in which the ball 27 is accommodated is the winning number.

  Subsequently, after the ball 27 is stored in the number pocket 23, the server control CPU 81 drives the hit determination device 86 to determine which number pocket 23 the ball 27 is stored in (A7).

  Further, from the bet information of each station 4 received at A4 and the winning number determined at A7, it is determined whether or not the chip betted at each station 4 is hit (A9).

  Then, based on the hit determination of A9, it is determined whether or not a chip betted in at least one station 4 is hit. When it is determined that the chip is hit (A9: YES), it is further determined whether or not the star is hit (A10). Therefore, when the star symbol 88 is hit (A10: YES), the payout amount stocked at A5 is awarded (A11).

  Next, when a payout is made at A11 (A11) and when no star is hit (A10: NO), the server control CPU 81 executes respective payout calculation processes (A12). In the payout calculation process, the winning chip is recognized for each station 4, and the odds (the number of credits paid out per chip) stored in the ROM 82 are used for each station 4 (see FIG. 8). The sum of the payout amount of the payout credit and the payout given in A11 is calculated. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no winning chip in all the stations 4 (A9: NO), the process proceeds to A14.

  In A13, a game result transmission process is executed in which a signal relating to the payout of credit based on the payout calculation process in A12 and a display change associated with the determination of the winning number is transmitted to all the stations 4. When paying out credits to the station 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the server 13 to the station control unit 90 of the winning station 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding station 4.

  In A14, the ball collecting device provided below the wheel 22 is driven to collect the ball 27 on the wheel 22. The collected ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 in the next and subsequent games. Then, it returns to A1 and shifts to the next game.

When paying out credits to the station 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the server 13 to the station control unit 90 of the winning station 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding station 4.

  In D16, a ball collecting device provided below the wheel 22 is driven to collect the ball 27 on the wheel 22. The collected ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 in the next and subsequent games. After that, the process returns to D1 and shifts to the next game.

(Main control system action 5: star positioning process)
Further, the roulette device sets the position of the star 88 in advance in the special magnification grant routine, the second special magnification grant routine, the Prog routine and the free spot grant routine, and starts the unit game. It has a function to select and select 88 positions at random. Hereinafter, the star positioning process in the roulette game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a star positioning routine program in the roulette game machine 1. The star positioning routine can be set in the special magnification provision routine, the second special magnification provision routine, the Prog routine, and the free spot provision routine.

  The server control CPU 81 starts a betting period (E1) and throws the ball 27 into the wheel 22 (E2) in the special magnification provision routine, the second special magnification provision routine, the Prog routine, and the free spot provision routine. After that, any number (“0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display plate 25 after the betting period ends (E3, YES) and before the ball stops (E7). ), A process of randomly selecting an asterisk 88 as a starting point for granting the benefits of each routine is performed (B6). Then, an asterisk is displayed on the selected number on the table-type betting board 30. Thereafter, the processing in each routine is performed starting from this randomly selected star 88 (E8, E9). Thereafter, the process proceeds to B8 in the special magnification provision routine, to C8 in the second special magnification provision routine, to A9 in the Prog routine, and to D8 in the free spot provision routine, and thus the description is omitted.

(Operation 6 of the main control system: side bet processing routine)
A side bet processing routine in the roulette gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of a roulette game processing program in the roulette game machine. Each program shown in the flowchart in FIG. 15 is stored in the ROM 82 or RAM 83 provided in the roulette game machine 1 and is executed by the server control CPU 81. This routine can be performed in parallel with the special magnification provision routine, the second special magnification provision routine, the Prog routine, and the free spot provision routine.

  When the power is turned on to the roulette gaming machine 1, a side bet processing routine in the roulette gaming machine 1 is executed, and a betting period that is a receiving period during which the player can side bet is started (F1). When the betting period is started, in the BET timer count 39 that displays the remaining time during which the player can bet the side bet, the number starts to decrease with the passage of time. Then, a player who participates in the game can bet his own chip by operating the touch panel 50 and touching the side bet button 43 during the betting period (see FIG. 5).

  Based on the elapse of a predetermined time (in this embodiment, the time until the number of the BET timer count 39 reaches “0”) from the start of the side betting period (F1), the ball is inserted. The device is driven and the ball 27 is thrown into the wheel 22 (F2).

  Next, in F3, it is determined whether or not the side bet period has ended. Here, the side bet period is displayed by the BET timer count 39, and the number starts to gradually decrease from the start of the bet period (F1). Then, when the number becomes “0”, the side bet period in the current game ends.

  Here, before the end of the side bet period (F3: NO), the side bet is continuously accepted until the end of the side bet period. On the other hand, when the side bet period ends (F3: YES), A side bet end signal is output to the station control units 90 of all stations 4, and an image indicating that the side bet period has ended is displayed on the image display device 8 of each station 4. Is prohibited. The server control CPU 81 ends the side bet period and outputs a side bet end signal to all the stations 4 (F3: YES), and then the side bet information (side-betled chips made by the player at each station 4). Is received (F4) and stored in the RAM 83. Here, when the side bet is not made in the station 4, information that the number of chips bet on the side bet is “0” is received as the side bet information.

  The side bet chips are stocked as a payout when the star mark 88 is hit, and added to the cumulative amount up to the previous unit game (F5). This is stored in the RAM 83 as privilege information.

  The ball 27 thrown in F2 rolls on the wheel 22 along the guide wall 29 while the processing of F3 and F4 is being performed. After that, when the rotational speed decreases and the centrifugal force is lost, the frame 27 It rolls down the slope of the body 21 and goes inward to the rotating wheel 22. Then, the ball 27 rolls on the wheel 22 and passes over the number display plate 25 on the outer side of the rotating wheel 22 and is stored in one of the number pockets 23 and stops (F6). A number (any one of “0”, “00”, “1” to “36”) written on the number display plate 25 corresponding to the number pocket 23 in which the ball 27 is accommodated is the winning number.

  Subsequently, after the ball 27 is stored in the number pocket 23, the server control CPU 81 drives the hit determination device 86 to determine which number pocket 23 the ball 27 is stored in (F7).

  Further, it is determined from the side bet information of each station 4 received in F4 and the winning number determined in F7 whether or not the chip bet on the side bet in each station 4 is hit (F8).

  Then, based on the hit determination of F8, it is determined whether or not the side bet chip hits the star 88 in at least one station 4 (F9). Therefore, when the star symbol 88 is hit (F9: YES), a cumulative payout amount up to the previous unit game stocked in F5 is awarded (F10).

  Next, when the payout is made at F10, the server control CPU 81 executes respective payout calculation processes (F11). In the payout calculation process, the winning chip is recognized for each station 4 and the total of the payouts awarded at F10 paid out to each station 4 is calculated. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no winning chip in all the stations 4 (F9: NO), the process proceeds to F13.

  In F12, a game result transmission process is executed in which a signal relating to the payout of credit based on the payout calculation process of F12 and a display change associated with the determination of the winning number is transmitted to all the stations 4. When paying out credits to the station 4, credit data corresponding to the payout amount is output from the server 13 to the station control unit 90 of the winning station 4. This credit data is added to the RAM 93 of the corresponding station 4.

  In F13, the ball collection device provided below the wheel 22 is driven to collect the ball 27 on the wheel 22. The collected ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 in the next and subsequent games. Thereafter, the process returns to F1 and shifts to the next game.

  As described above, the roulette gaming machine 1 selects the special magnification provision routine, the second special magnification provision routine, the Prog routine, and the free spot provision routine described above as a privilege when the star mark 88 is hit. Be prepared for possible. Further, the roulette gaming machine 1 includes a star positioning routine so that the position of the star 88 is set in advance and the unit game is started, and the position of the star 88 is randomly selected after the betting period ends. The execution of the process is prepared so that it can be selected. Further, the roulette game machine 1 includes a side bet processing routine, and can perform processing in parallel with the special magnification provision routine, the second special magnification provision routine, the Prog routine, and the free spot provision routine.

  Thereby, the roulette gaming machine 1 can freely select and set a privilege when the star 88 is hit in advance and the position determination of the star 88.

(Sub-control system operation: Station side game processing)
The main processing program in the station 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the main processing program in the station. Each program shown in these flowcharts is stored in the ROM 92 and RAM 93 provided in the station 4 and is executed by the station control CPU 91.

  First, in S <b> 20, the station control CPU 91 determines whether or not the screen currently displayed on the image display device 8 is the BET screen 31.

  If the BET screen 31 is displayed (S20: YES), chip bet processing is performed on the BET screen 31 (S21). On the other hand, when the BET screen 31 is not displayed (S20: NO), it waits until the BET screen 31 is displayed. The bet process (S21) on the BET screen 31 will be described later in detail.

  Subsequently, in S23, the result of the bet information (“designated BET area 42”, “designated bet number”) performed in the betting process of S21 is transmitted to the server control CPU 81 of the server 13. On the other hand, as described above, the server control CPU 81 of the roulette gaming machine 1 stores the transmitted bet information in the RAM 83 (S4). The bet information transmitted to the server control CPU 81 is stored in the RAM 93 in the bet process of S21.

  Thereafter, in the roulette game machine 1, the game is started at the wheel 22, and a hit number at which the ball 27 falls is detected by the hit determination device 86. In S 24, the winning number determined by the roulette game machine 1 and the number of credits paid out to each station 4 are received, and the received data is stored in the RAM 93.

  Subsequently, credits are paid out based on the information received in S24, and credits currently owned by the player are added (S25). Then, the credit amount stored in the owned credit amount storage area of the RAM 93 is changed, and at the same time, the refund result display unit 37 showing the balance of the credit of the previous game displayed on the image display device 8 is displayed. The number display unit 38 and the side bet number display unit 60 are updated. Further, by confirming each display unit 37, 38, 60, the player can know the current number of owned credits and the like. After the above process (S25) is completed, the main process program in the station 4 is terminated.

  Next, the betting process on the BET screen 31 (see FIG. 5) in S21 will be described. Each program for performing a bet process on the BET screen 31 is stored in the ROM 92 or RAM 93 provided in the station 4 and is executed by the station control CPU 91.

  First, on the BET screen 31, a table-type betting board 30 similar to the conventional one in which numbers and marks are arranged on the squares is displayed, and the player bets chips based on the table-type betting board 30.

  In the selected BET area 42, the number of bets of chips to bet is set. A player presses each unit button (1 BET button 36A, 5BET button 36B, 10BET button 36C, 100BET button 36D) of the unit BET button 36 to bet on the BET area 42 in which chips corresponding to the number of units are designated. Is done. On the table-type betting board 30, the number of chips bet and the chip mark 41 indicating the BET area 42 are displayed so far, and the number displayed on the chip mark 41 indicates the number of chips bet. (See FIG. 5). The bet information (“designated BET area 42”, “designated bet number”) by the above process is stored in the bet information storage area of the RAM 93 as needed.

  Next, the station control CPU 91 determines whether or not the BET confirmation button 47 has been pressed. The BET confirmation button 47 is provided in the control unit 7 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, and is a button that is pressed when a series of betting operations are confirmed.

  When the BET confirmation button 47 is pressed, the bet is confirmed. After the bet is confirmed, the bet operation cannot be performed until the next game is started. Further, after the bet is confirmed, the game is started when the player bets on the number described on the number display board 25 corresponding to the number pocket 23 in which the ball 27 is stored in the wheel 22 where the game is started. In the case of winning, a credit corresponding to the number of chips bet is added to the credit currently owned by the player.

  If the BET confirmation button 47 is not pressed, it is subsequently determined whether or not the betting time has expired. The betting time is displayed by a BET timer count 39 provided at the top of the table-type betting board 30. The BET timer count 39 is a count that displays the remaining time that the player can bet, and the number starts to decrease gradually from the start of the game. The betting time ends when it reaches “0”.

  If the betting time has not expired, that is, if the BET timer count 39 is not “0”, the betting process can be performed again. Then, by repeatedly performing the process, it is possible to perform a bet process on a plurality of locations on the table-type betting board 30.

  On the other hand, when the betable time is over, the bet is determined according to the current bet situation. After the bet is confirmed, the bet processing program on the BET screen 31 is terminated and the process returns to the main processing program of the station 4. After the bet is confirmed, the bet operation cannot be performed until the next game is started.
