At first, host CPU 241 determines whether to receive accumulation ratio change signal (step S3401).When being used to change the input of accumulation ratio, transmitting the accumulation ratio and change signal via management-side input media 740.The accumulation ratio changes the accumulation ratio data that signal has the accumulation ratio of expression input.

When host CPU 241 was determined to have received the accumulation ratio and changed signal, host CPU 241 was determined to be included in the accumulation ratio and is changed the accumulation ratio shown in the accumulation ratio data in the signal and whether belong to the numerical range (step S3402) shown in the accumulation proportion threshold value.The accumulation proportion threshold value is the scope that the accumulation ratio can change therein.The accumulation proportion threshold value data storage that the accumulation proportion threshold value is shown is in ROM 242.

Threshold data in the invention of accumulation proportion threshold value data and (25) is corresponding, and the memory storage in the invention of ROM 242 and (25) is corresponding.

When the accumulation ratio shown in the accumulation ratio data of determining to be included in the accumulation ratio change signal belongs to the numerical range of accumulating shown in the proportion threshold value, host CPU 241 will illustrate the data storage of this accumulation ratio and accumulate ratio data (step S3403) as changing the back in the storage area of RAM 243.Memory storage in the invention of RAM 243 and (25) is corresponding.It is corresponding to change the correlation data of playing jointly after the setting among back accumulation ratio data and the present invention.

After execution in step S3403, when host CPU 241 determines that in step S3401 not receiving the accumulation ratio changes signal, perhaps when host CPU 241 was determined to be included in the accumulation ratio and changed the accumulation ratio shown in the accumulation ratio data in the signal and do not belong to numerical range shown in the accumulation proportion threshold value in step S3402, host CPU 241 determined whether to receive participation and changes signal (step S3404) with set amount.It is to be transmitted when being used to change participation with the input of set amount via management-side input media 740 that participation changes signal with set amount.Participation changes signal with set amount and has the participation set amount data that set amount is used in the participation that input is shown.

When host CPU 241 determined to have received participation with set amount change signal, host CPU 241 was determined to be included in participation and whether is belonged to the numerical range (step S3405) of participating in shown in the set amount threshold value with the participation that set amount changes in the signal with set amount with the participation shown in the set amount data.Participating in the set amount threshold value is to participate in the scope that can change therein with set amount.The participation of participating in the set amount threshold value is shown to be stored among the ROM 242 with the set amount threshold data.

Participate in the threshold data in the invention of set amount threshold data and (25) correspondingly, and the memory storage in the invention of ROM 242 and (25) is corresponding.

When determining that being included in participation belongs to participation with numerical range set amount threshold value shown in the participation shown in the set amount data with set amount with the participation in the set amount change signal, host CPU 241 will illustrate this participation and participate in set amount data (step S3406) after the conduct change in the storage area of RAM 243 with the data storage of set amount.

Memory storage in the invention of RAM 243 and (25) is corresponding.

Changing the back participates in the correlation data of playing jointly after the setting among set amount data and the present invention corresponding.

After execution in step S3406, when host CPU 241 determines not receive participation with set amount change signal in step S3404, perhaps when host CPU 241 is determined to be included in participation and changed participation in the signal and do not belong to the numerical range of participating in shown in the usefulness set amount threshold value with the participation shown in the set amount data with set amount with set amount in step S3405, host CPU 241 determines whether to receive the signal (step S3407) of the setting range that is used to change the Event triggered amount.When the input of the setting range that is used to change the Event triggered amount via management-side input media 740, transmit the signal of the setting range that is used to change the Event triggered amount.The signal that is used to change the setting range of Event triggered amount has the setting range data of Event triggered amount of the setting range of the Event triggered amount that input is shown.

When host CPU 241 determined to have received the signal of the setting range that is used to change the Event triggered amount, whether the setting range that host CPU 241 determines to be included in the Event triggered amount shown in the setting range data of Event triggered amount of signal of the setting range that is used for changing the Event triggered amount belonged to the numerical range (step S3408) shown in the setting range threshold value of Event triggered amount.The setting range threshold value of Event triggered amount is the scope that the setting range of Event triggered amount can change therein.The setting range threshold data of Event triggered amount that the setting range threshold value of Event triggered amount is shown is stored among the ROM 242.

The setting range threshold data of Event triggered amount is corresponding with the threshold data in the invention of (25), and the memory storage in the invention of ROM 242 and (25) is corresponding.

When the setting range of the Event triggered amount shown in the setting range data of the Event triggered amount of the signal of determining to be included in the setting range that is used for changing the Event triggered amount belongs to numerical range shown in the setting range threshold value of Event triggered amount, the data storage of setting range that host CPU 241 will illustrate this Event triggered amount in the storage area of RAM 243 as the setting range data (step S3409) that change back Event triggered amount.Memory storage in the invention of RAM 243 and (25) is corresponding.The correlation data of playing jointly after the setting among the setting range data that change back Event triggered amount and the present invention are corresponding.

After execution in step S3409, in step S3407, determine not receive the signal of the setting range that is used to change the Event triggered amount when host CPU 241, when perhaps the setting range of determining to be included in the Event triggered amount shown in the setting range data of Event triggered amount of signal of the setting range that is used for changing the Event triggered amount when host CPU 241 in step S3408 did not belong to numerical range shown in the setting range threshold value of Event triggered amount, host CPU 241 finished these subroutines.

Then, with reference to Figure 36 A to Figure 36 B, crap game execution processing (seeing the step S260 of Figure 18) is described.

Figure 36 demonstrates the view that the crap game of carrying out according to the games system of the 3rd embodiment of the present invention is carried out the process flow diagram of handling.

At first, the processing of host CPU 241 execution in step S3301 to step S3320 and step S3321 to step S3328.This is handled with identical to the processing of step S328 to step S320 and step S321 with reference to the step S301 of Figure 22 A to Figure 22 B explanation, therefore omits its explanation here.

After execution in step S3320, host CPU 241 is carried out the Event triggered amount and is determined to handle (step S3330).In this step, determine an Event triggered amount in the middle of the amount after host CPU 241 extraction random values and the change from be stored in RAM 243 in the scope of the setting range of the Event triggered amount shown in the setting range data of Event triggered amount.

Host CPU 241 will illustrate the data storage of determined Event triggered amount in the storage area of RAM 243.

After execution in step S3330, host CPU 241 finishes this subroutine.

More than, with reference to Figure 34 to Figure 36 the 3rd embodiment has been described.

Although adopt the setting range of award total amount accumulation ratio, Event triggered amount to use the setting of set amount as relevant common recreation with participating in the 3rd embodiment, yet " the relevant setting of recreation jointly " in the invention of (21) is not limited to this example.

For example, the setting of relevant common recreation can be the payment rate in semi-invariant or the common recreation.

Replacedly, about the setting of common recreation can be and be used for the relevant setting of acceptance of the input of additional stake (seeing the 5th embodiment).For example, accepting to be used for the setting of input of additional stake and the setting of not accepting this input can change.

In the present embodiment, when the setting range with the Event triggered amount is set at the numerical range (for example ， $200 to 300) of expectation, can be via management-side input media 740 input references (for example, 250) (seeing Figure 34 B).Yet in the invention of (23), the input of lower limit (for example, 200) and higher limit (for example, 300) can change the setting range of Event triggered amount.

In the present embodiment, participating in set amount is common for all game machines 1.Yet participating in can be different for each game machine with set amount.In the invention of (24), can set different participation set amounts for each game machine by input device.

In the present embodiment, the memory storage of common recreation correlation data was different memory storages with the memory storage of storage threshold data after storage was set.Yet in the invention of (25), the memory storage of the common recreation in back correlation data is set in storage and the memory storage of storage threshold data can be same memory storage.

According to the 3rd embodiment of the present invention, accumulated with the corresponding game media amount of the accumulation ratio game media amount of in game machine, betting, that use and management side input media is set.In crap game, provide game media based on the game media amount of accumulating thus.That is, the game media of accumulation is used as the payment resource in the crap game.

But supvr's use and management side input media of play facility is set the accumulation ratio.For example, the time or the date of the operation of less game machine in one day or in the week, can guarantee payment resource in the crap game by setting bigger accumulation ratio.On the other hand, than the time or the date of multiple game machines operation, can set less accumulation ratio and make the income of play facility increase corresponding amount in one day or in the week.

In addition, according to the 3rd embodiment of the present invention, accumulate explicitly with the game media amount of in each game machine, betting with game machine and to measure accordingly.Subsequently, when having reached the Event triggered amount, carry out crap game with the corresponding arbitrary unit wager amount of game media amount of accumulating separately for one in the game machine.In the scope that use and management side input media is set, pass through prize drawing allocate event triggering amount.

But supvr's use and management side input media of play facility is set the scope of Event triggered amount.For example, according to such as what day, the various factors of time period, season and economic situation, the supvr can set the setting range of Event triggered amount for and make and can easily specify less Event triggered amount, to produce the situation of more likely carrying out crap game.Replacedly, the supvr can set the setting range of Event triggered amount for and make and can easily specify bigger Event triggered amount, to produce the situation of unlikely execution crap game.

Therefore, make the supvr can be rapidly and safeguard play facility easily, so that set the setting range with the corresponding best Event triggered amount of its management strategy.

In addition, according to the 3rd embodiment of the present invention, when crap game finishes, in the scope of use and management side input media setting, by prize drawing allocate event triggering amount.This can be provided at the interior each different crap game of Event triggered amount of scope of setting.As a result, can crap game take place and make the player surprised, perhaps can crap game not take place after the moment of player's expection and make player's anxiety early than the moment of player expection.In this way, can provide the recreation that makes player's anxious state of mind.

According to the 3rd embodiment of the present invention, accumulate explicitly with the game media amount of in game machine, betting with game machine and to measure accordingly.Game machine that allow to participate in crap game is that the corresponding unit wager amount of game media amount of wherein accumulating explicitly with this game machine has reached participation that use and management side input media sets with set amount or more play machine.

But supvr's use and management side input media of play facility is set to participate in and is used set amount.For example, the time or the date of the operation of less game machine in one day or in the week, the supvr can set less participation with set amount guaranteeing to participate in the number of players of crap game, thereby produce breathtaking crap game.On the other hand, than the time or the date of multiple game machines operation, the supvr can set bigger participation and participate in the more game medias of player wager of crap game with set amount to encourage hope in one day or in the week.In addition, can be the player who allow to participate in crap game the sense of superiority is provided.

According to the 3rd embodiment of the present invention, belong under the condition of the scope of representing by threshold data at common recreation correlation, be used as new common recreation correlation by the common recreation correlation that is included in the data representation in the setting changing signal.Subsequently, carry out common recreation based on this common recreation correlation.

Therefore, can not set the common recreation correlation that does not belong to the scope of representing by threshold data.Therefore, can prevent to be set at the situation of common recreation correlation by the value that deception, mistake etc. will not conform to the management intention of play facility.For example, can prevent the situation of payment a large amount of game media outside expecting in crap game.As a result, can guarantee the sound operation and the confidence level of public place of entertainment.

[the 4th embodiment]

In the 4th embodiment, (27) invention to (30) is described.

For the part in the 4th suitable embodiment of the explanation in above-mentioned arbitrary embodiment, omit explanation.

With reference to Figure 37 A and Figure 37 B the 4th embodiment is described.

Figure 37 A is the example images that shows on upside image display panel 131.

Shown in the playguide image 4410 of Figure 37 A, in the present embodiment, to the bigger bigger automatic wager amount of wager amount generation of slot machine game.Just, wager amount increases along with the increase of unit wager amount automatically.With reference to Fig. 1 G to Fig. 1 I this is illustrated.

In addition, as described in reference Fig. 1 G and Fig. 1 I, wager amount is determined according to the unit wager amount and is annotated the wager amount of setting for the line that passes through in the game machine of participating in crap game automatically.And, illustrated that the game media amount paid increases (seeing Fig. 1 G) according to the increase of wager amount automatically when the person that throws the dice wins in crap game.

Shown in the playguide image 4410 of Figure 37 A, in the present embodiment, the quantity of reward of paying in crap game increases along with the increase of unit wager amount.With reference to Fig. 1 G to 1J this is illustrated.

In this way, in the present embodiment, the automatic wager amount of determining according to the unit wager amount is along with the increase of unit wager amount increases.In addition, the game media amount of being paid when the person that throws the dice wins in crap game increases according to the increase of wager amount automatically.

Figure 37 B is the synoptic diagram that demonstrates among game machine and the RAM 243 relation between the represented automatic wager amount of the automatic wager amount data of storing in the automatic wager amount storage area that is provided with.

In the example shown in Figure 37 B, store many automatic wager amount data explicitly with each terminal number 001,002 and 005.

In the present embodiment, after determining the machine of attending a game, determine automatic wager amount data (seeing the step S301 of the step S259 of Figure 18) to step S260 and Figure 22 A about the machine of attending a game respectively.Therefore, in the example shown in Figure 37 B, carry out the crap game of game machine 1 participation that is assigned each terminal number 001,002 and 005.

Just, when being stored, carry out next crap game that this game machine is participated in the corresponding automatic fluence data of game machine.

As mentioned above, the automatic wager amount data presentation with a corresponding storage of game machine goes out the right that this game machine has the participation crap game.

When the person that throws the dice won crap game, the automatic wager amount that crap game is set was held (seeing Figure 22 A and Figure 22 B) when carrying out next crap game.

In this way, the person loses crap game up to throwing the dice to keep identical automatic wager amount.

Host CPU 241 (in ending of crap game) in the step S320 automatic wager amount that automatic wager amount data are represented that is provided with in the external control device 200 is set at 0 (seeing the step S320 of Figure 22 B).Just, when the person that throws the dice lost crap game, the automatic wager amount that crap game is set was set to 0.Therefore, when the person that throws the dice lost crap game, the automatic wager amount that crap game is set did not change next crap game over to.In addition, (in the ending of crap game) do not carry out the processing (seeing Figure 22 B) that automatic wager amount is defined as payment amount in step S320.Just, when a series of crap games finished, the automatic wager amount that crap game last in these a series of crap games is set can not become payment amount.Therefore, the automatic wager amount of player pays not being set for crap game last in these a series of crap games.

In the step S309 of Figure 22 B the triumph signal is sent to after the game machine 1, the host CPU 241 that is arranged in the external control device 200 determines that automatic wager amount is payment amount (the step S311 that sees Figure 22 B is to step S312).Just, when the person that throws the dice won crap game, the automatic wager amount that crap game is set was set to payment amount.On the other hand, in the step S322 of Figure 22 B failure signal is sent to after the game machine 1, host CPU 241 is not carried out and is determined that automatic wager amount is the processing of payment amount.Just, when the person that throws the dice lost crap game, the automatic wager amount that crap game is set was not set to payment amount.

In this way, when the person that throws the dice loses crap game, the automatic wager amount that player pays is set for crap game not.

More than, with reference to Figure 37 A to Figure 37 B the 4th embodiment has been described.

In the present embodiment, even when the player does not bet game media, the game media amount that crap game is bet also is confirmed as automatic wager amount.Yet the processing in the invention of (27) (C) is not limited to this example.For example, in the processing in the invention of (27) (C), the input that can accept to be used to bet game media, up to the accumulation game media amount (for example, 1000) corresponding upper limit amount (for example, 100).

In addition, in the present embodiment, based on the definite game media amount of unit wager amount (accumulation wager amount) to the crap game stake.Yet the processing in the invention of (27) (C) is not limited to this example.For example, in the processing in the invention of (27) (C), can be based on the definite game media amount of the total amount of the game media of in each game machine, betting to common game entry.

According to the 4th embodiment of the present invention, accumulation is measured accordingly with the game media amount of betting in each game machine.Subsequently, based on the definite game media amount (wager amount of crap game) of the game media amount of accumulation thus to the crap game stake.In crap game, provide game media with the amount that obtains based on the result of the wager amount of the crap game of determining thus and crap game.

The game media amount that therefore, can provide in crap game is along with the increase of the game media amount of storing by accumulation increases.Therefore, the player can be very interested in the game media amount of storage.On the other hand, the result of crap game is different aspect player's game media whether actual game media amount that obtains and store is measured accordingly.Therefore, the player can be absorbed in crap game.

This makes crap game more exciting.

In addition, according to the 4th embodiment of the present invention, accumulate explicitly with the game media amount of in this game machine, betting with each game machine and to measure accordingly.Subsequently, based on thus for the corresponding accumulation wager amount of game media amount of each game machine accumulation, determine the wager amount of crap game about each game machine.

Therefore, the player can bet the wager amount of relatively large game media with the crap game in the game machine that increases him or she and play.As a result, can produce the situation that he or she can obtain relatively large game media.Therefore, can encourage the more game medias of player wager.

In addition, the player who has bet relatively large game media has stronger expectation for the good result that he or she expects in crap game.Therefore, such player can be attracted by crap game.

In addition, can give the player competitive spirit of game media amount about can in crap game, providing.Therefore, can provide the very strong satisfaction and the sense of superiority for the player who in crap game, receives relatively large game media.

According to the 4th embodiment of the present invention, even when not betting game media, also determine game media amount to the crap game stake.That is, the player can further not consume game media and enjoys crap game.Therefore, the player can be very satisfied to the generation of crap game.In addition, because the player need not to be used for the operation to the crap game stake, so the player can be absorbed in crap game.

[the 5th embodiment]

In the 5th embodiment, (31) invention to (35) is described.

For the part in the 5th suitable embodiment of the explanation in above-mentioned arbitrary embodiment, omit explanation.

The summary of the 5th embodiment at first, is described with reference to Figure 38.

Figure 38 A and Figure 38 B are the views of the example images that shows on the center image display panel that comprises in the game machine that demonstrates according to the 5th embodiment of the present invention.

Character picture 5320 shown in Figure 38 A notifies the player to participate in crap game by adding stake.

In the first embodiment, the unit wager amount is equal to or greater than participates in the game machine that is selected as participating in crap game with any game machine 1 of set amount, and the unit wager amount can not be participated in crap game (seeing Figure 21) less than participating in any game machine 1 of set amount.

On the contrary, in the 5th embodiment, even the unit wager amount also can be participated in crap game by adding stake less than the game machine of participating in set amount 1.

" the unit wager amount is equal to or greater than to participate in and uses set amount " is corresponding with the specified conditions among the present invention.

When in game machine 1, being used to add the input of stake, this game machine 1 is selected as participating in the game machine of crap game, and crap game begins image 5340 and is presented in the game machine 1 on the downside image display panel 141 that is provided with (Figure 38 B).

In the 5th embodiment, the player can annotate button 34 or the additional stake of maximum notes button 35 inputs by pushing 1.1 notes button 34 is corresponding with the input media among the present invention with maximum each that annotate in the button 35.

More than, summarized the 5th embodiment with reference to Figure 38.

Below, present embodiment is described in further detail.

Then, with reference to Figure 39 A and Figure 39 B, illustrate to participate in and determine to handle (seeing the step S259 of Figure 18).

At first, host CPU 241 determines whether be equal to or greater than participation usefulness set amount (step S5301) with the corresponding unit wager amount of removing the person's game machine of throwing the dice of each game machine.

When determining and remove the corresponding unit wager amount of each game machine the person's game machine of throwing the dice and be not equal to or be not more than and participate in when use set amount, host CPU 241 will add to be bet request signal and is sent to be confirmed as not having and is equal to or greater than the game machine 1 (step S5303) that the unit wager amount of set amount is used in participation.

Here, additional stake request signal comprises the additional wager amount information of the difference between the unit wager amount that the game machine 1 of participating in the transfer source of using set amount and the additional stake of conduct request signal is shown.

Then, host CPU 241 determines whether that will add the game machine 1 that the stake request signal is sent to from host CPU 241 receives additional stake signal (step S5304).When host CPU 241 determines not receive additional stake signal, host CPU 241 will not participated in specification signal and be sent to host CPU 241 does not receive additional stake signal from it game machine 1 (step S5305).

When host CPU 241 is determined in step S5301 when removing the corresponding unit wager amount of each game machine the person's game machine of throwing the dice and be equal to or greater than participation and use set amount, perhaps in step S5304, determine when host CPU 241 will add game machine 1 that the stake request signal is sent to and receive additional stake signal when host CPU 241, host CPU 241 is sent to host CPU 241 from its game machine 1 that has received additional stake signal with the non-person's specification signal of throwing the dice, perhaps is sent to corresponding unit wager amount and is equal to or greater than the game machine of participating in set amount 1 (step S5302).

After execution in step S5302 or step S5305, host CPU 241 finishes this subroutine.

According to Figure 39 A, always will add the stake request signal and be sent to the game machine 1 that is confirmed as not having the unit wager amount that is equal to or greater than participation usefulness set amount.Yet additional stake request signal need not always to be transmitted, but can only be transmitted when satisfying predetermined condition.Explanation is participated in and is determined to handle (seeing the step S259 of Figure 18) with reference to Figure 39 B, wherein only when corresponding unit wager amount is equal to or greater than the number participated in the game machine 1 of set amount less than predetermined number, additional stake request signal is sent to corresponding unit wager amount less than the game machine of participating in set amount 1.

At first, host CPU 241 execution in step S5291 are to the processing of step S5292.This is handled with identical to the processing of step S292 with reference to the step S291 of Figure 21 explanation, therefore omits its explanation here.

When in step S5291, determining and remove the corresponding unit wager amount of each game machine the person's game machine of throwing the dice and be not equal to or be not more than and participate in when use set amount, host CPU 241 determine whether to exist predetermined number or more, the unit wager amount is equal to or greater than the game machine 1 (step S5293) that set amount is used in participation.

When the game machine 1 determining to exist predetermined number or more, unit wager amount to be equal to or greater than to participate in set amount, host CPU 241 will not participated in specification signal and be sent to be confirmed as not having and be equal to or greater than the game machine of participating in the unit wager amount of set amount 1 (step S5297).

On the other hand, when the game machine 1 determining not exist predetermined number or more, unit wager amount to be equal to or greater than to participate in set amount, host CPU 241 will add the stake request signal and be sent to be confirmed as not having and be equal to or greater than the game machine of participating in the unit wager amount of set amount 1 (step S5294).Here, additional stake request signal comprises the additional wager amount information of the difference between the unit wager amount that the game machine 1 of participating in the transfer source of using set amount and the additional stake of conduct request signal is shown.

Then, host CPU 241 determines whether that will add the game machine 1 that the stake request signal is sent to from host CPU 241 receives additional stake signal (step S5295).When host CPU 241 determined not receive additional stake signal, host CPU 241 made to handle and is transferred to step S5297.

On the other hand, when host CPU 241 determined to have received additional stake signal, host CPU 241 was carried out the person's specification signal of will non-ly throwing the dice and is sent to processing (step S5296) as the game machine 1 that adds the transfer source of betting signal.

After execution in step S5292, step S5296 or step S5297, host CPU 241 finishes this subroutine.

Then, illustrate that with reference to Figure 40 crap game generation signal receives processing.

At first, host CPU 71 determines whether to receive crap game generation signal (seeing the step S258 of Figure 18) (step S5551) from external control device 200.When host CPU 71 was determined not receive crap game generation signal, host CPU 71 finished this subroutine.

On the other hand, when host CPU 71 was determined to have received crap game generation signal, host CPU 71 determined whether to receive additional stake request signal (seeing the step S5294 of Figure 39) (step S5555).

When host CPU 71 determined not receive additional stake request signal, host CPU 71 made to handle and is transferred to step S5552.

On the other hand, when host CPU 71 determined to have received additional stake request signal, host CPU 71 determined whether to have carried out being used for the input (step S5556) of additional stake.In this step, host CPU 71 determines whether to receive the signal that transmits or is pushing the signal that transmits when maximum is annotated button 35 when pushing 1 notes button 34.

When determining to be used for the input of additional stake, host CPU 71 makes to handle and is transferred to step S5552.

On the other hand, when determining to have carried out being used for the input of additional stake, deduct in the value of storing in the integration amount storage area that host CPU 71 is provided with from RAM 73 and the additional represented corresponding value of amount of additional wager amount information that comprises in the request signal of betting.Subsequently, host CPU 71 will add the stake signal and be sent to external control device 200 (step S5557).When determine with additional stake request signal in store in the integration amount storage area that is provided with in greater than RAM 73 of the represented corresponding value of amount of the additional wager amount information that comprises value the time, host CPU 71 makes to handle and is transferred to step S5552.

Afterwards, host CPU 71 execution in step S5552 are to the processing of step S5554.This is handled with identical to the processing of step S554 with reference to the step S552 of Figure 29 explanation, therefore omits its explanation here.

More than, with reference to Figure 38 to Figure 40 the 5th embodiment has been described.

In the present embodiment, can annotate button 34 and the maximum input media of annotating button 35 via 1 carry out common stake and additionally bet both.Yet common in the present invention stake input media can be different input medias with additional stake input media.

For example, the additional wager button as additional stake input media can be provided with respectively with common wager button.

Replacedly, can adopt touch panel as the input media that is used for additional stake.For example, can add stake by the position on the corresponding touch panel of character " YES (being) " shown in touch and Figure 38 A.

In addition, in the present embodiment, and unit wager amount and participate in to be bet with the game media of the corresponding amount of difference between the set amount be additional the stake.Yet in the present invention, the game media amount of being bet to additional stake is not limited to this example.For example, bet for the game media amount of additional stake can greater than and unit wager amount and participating in the corresponding amount of difference between the set amount (just, for example this amount can be the twice that the difference between the set amount is used in unit wager amount and participation).

In the present embodiment, the player can not select to be bet the game media amount for additional stake.Yet, can the game media amount of expecting be input as additional stake via input media.In this case, preferably, adding in the middle of the gaming machines, only having as the game machine of the game media amount of the maximum of additional stake and can participate in common recreation.This is because the more substantial game media of this configuration excitation player wager is bet as additional.

In the present embodiment, specified conditions are " the unit wager amount are equal to or greater than to participate in and use set amount ".Yet the specified conditions among the present invention are not limited to this example.Specified conditions among the present invention can be for example " the unit wager amount of rank in preceding N position ", perhaps " each when carrying out recreation the progressive games number of times of stored counts be equal to or greater than stipulated number ".

According to the 5th embodiment of the present invention, the condition of participating in crap game is that the total amount (unit wager amount) of the game media of stake is equal to or greater than scheduled volume (participate in and use set amount).

Yet overtime display process need not to carry out in the above described manner.For example, as following with reference to as described in Figure 55 B, in case set overtime mark, then can be no matter thereafter operation and make game machine 1 can not participate in crap game.

Figure 55 B is the view that demonstrates the process flow diagram of the overtime display process of carrying out according to the game machine of another embodiment of the present invention.

At first, whether stored overtime mark (step S7401) in the presumptive area that host CPU 71 is determined to be provided with in RAM 73.Overtime mark demonstrates game machine 1 and has lost the qualification of participating in crap game.Overtime mark is described after a while in further detail.When determining to have stored overtime mark, host CPU 71 finishes this subroutine.

On the other hand, when determining not store overtime mark, host CPU 71 determines whether the unit wager amount is equal to or greater than participation set amount (step S7402).When definite unit wager amount was used set amount less than participation, host CPU 71 finished these subroutines.

On the other hand, participate in when use set amount when definite unit wager amount is equal to or greater than, whether host CPU 71 definite integration numbers are 0 (step S7403).In this was handled, whether the value of storing in the integration amount storage area that host CPU 71 is determined to be provided with among the RAM 73 was 0.

When definite integration number is 0, deduct 1 (step S7404) among the timeout value T that stores in the presumptive area that host CPU 71 is provided with from RAM 73.In this is handled, host CPU 71 will deduct 1 and the value that obtains is stored in the presumptive area once more from timeout value T.

Then, host CPU 71 shows overtime horizontal display image (step S7405) based on timeout value T.In this is handled, host CPU 71 will be shown as the mesh zone with the zone of the overtime horizontal display image 7422 of formation of timeout value T respective number.For example, when T=10, overtime horizontal display image 7422 demonstrates 10 mesh zones and 5 white regions.

Then, host CPU 71 determines whether T is 0 (step S7406).When definite T was not 0, host CPU 71 finished this subroutine.

On the other hand, when definite T is 0, in host CPU 71 is provided with overtime marker stores in RAM 73 the presumptive area (step S7407).

Host CPU 71 is sent to timeout signal external control device 200 subsequently.When receiving timeout signal, be arranged on the host CPU 241 in the external control device 200, with as the game machine 1 of the transfer source of timeout signal explicitly with overtime marker stores in RAM 243.

After the processing of execution in step S7407, host CPU 71 finishes this subroutine.

On the other hand, when determining that the integration number is not 0 in step S7403, host CPU 71 is set at 15 (step S7408) with timeout value T.In this was handled, host CPU 71 was stored in the presumptive area that is provided with among the RAM 73 15.

Then, host CPU 71 shows overtime horizontal display image (step S7409) based on timeout value T.In this is handled, host CPU 71 will be shown as the mesh zone with the zone of the overtime horizontal display image 7422 of formation of timeout value T respective number.At this moment, T=15, therefore overtime horizontal display image 7422 demonstrates 15 mesh zones.

After the processing of execution in step S7409, host CPU 71 finishes this subroutine.

According to above-mentioned overtime display process, the maximal value of timeout value T is 15.In game machine 1, the unit wager amount reached participation with set amount after, when the integration number remained for 0 a period of time, the value per minute of T reduced one.Just, in game machine 1, the unit wager amount reached participation with set amount after, when the integration number remains 0 when reaching 15 minutes, in game machine 1, will not carry out crap game.It is corresponding with " schedule time " in the invention of (45), (46) and (48) " to reach 15 minutes ".

Then, with reference to Figure 56 the definite processing of participation is described.

When determining the execution of crap game, external control device 200 is carried out to participate in and is determined to handle, so that select to participate in the game machine 1 (seeing the step S259 of Figure 18) of crap game.

At first, 241 pairs of each game machines 1 of host CPU determine whether to have stored overtime mark (step S7294) in RAM 243.

Then, whether host CPU 241 is determined and has been confirmed as not storing game machine 1 corresponding each unit wager amount overtime mark, beyond the person's game machine of throwing the dice and is equal to or greater than and participates in set amount (step S7291).

Then, host CPU 241 is sent to the non-person's specification signal of throwing the dice and is confirmed as corresponding unit wager amount and is equal to or greater than the game machine of participating in set amount 1 (step S7292).

After the processing of execution in step S7292, host CPU 241 finishes this subroutine.

On the other hand, host CPU 241 will not participated in specification signal and be sent to the game machine 1 that is confirmed as storing overtime mark in step S7294, and be confirmed as the unit wager amount less than the game machine of participating in set amount 1 (step S7293) in step S7291.In receiving the game machine 1 of not participating in specification signal, do not carry out crap game.When game machine 1 receives when not participating in specification signal, host CPU 241 is stored in overtime mark among the RAM 243 with removing.

Then, host CPU 241 will not participated in the overtime mark removing (step S7295) that game machine 1 that specification signal arrives store relatively with transmitting in step S7293.

After the processing of execution in step S7295, host CPU 241 finishes this subroutine.

In the present embodiment, the unit wager amount is set to 0 (seeing the step S320 of Figure 22 B) behind the executed crap game.Yet the unit wager amount need not to be always 0.Describe in detail with reference to Figure 57 A and Figure 57 B as following, can from the unit wager amount, deduct to participate in and use set amount.

Figure 57 A and Figure 57 B demonstrate the view that the crap game of carrying out according to the external control device of another embodiment of the present invention is carried out the process flow diagram of handling.

At first, host CPU 241 execution in step S7301 are to the processing of step S7319, and step S7321 is to the processing of step S7328.This is handled with identical to the processing of step S328 to step S319 and step S321 with reference to the step S301 of Figure 22 A and Figure 22 B explanation, therefore omits its explanation here.

After the processing of the processing of execution in step S7319 or step S7323, deduct in the unit wager amount shown in the unit wager amount data of storing in the unit wager amount storage area that host CPU 241 is provided with from RAM 243 and participate in set amount (step S7320).In this was handled, after crap game finished, the unit wager amount surpassed the amount that surpasses of participating in set amount and changes recreation next time over to.In unit wager amount display process, show the unit wager amount (seeing Figure 54) that changes over to.

After the processing of step S7320, host CPU 241 finishes this subroutine.

More than, with reference to Figure 57 A and Figure 57 B the crap game execution processing of being carried out by external control device 200 has been described.

More than, with reference to Figure 53 to Figure 57 B the 7th embodiment has been described.

In the present embodiment, unit wager amount situation display image 7421 and overtime horizontal display image 7422 are presented at separately on the downside image display panel 141 that is provided with in the game machine 1.

Downside image display panel 141 is corresponding to the output unit in the invention of (48) with (42).

(42) output unit to the invention of (48) is not limited to the image display device such as downside image display panel 141.For example, can be by the player being notified via the sound of loudspeaker or via the light efficiency of lamp.

(42) output unit to the invention of (48) can be the output unit that is connected in server.In this case, can on such as the display device of common display device, show and all game machine 1 corresponding unit wager amount situation display image and overtime horizontal display images.

In the present embodiment, take the condition of " the unit wager amount is equal to or greater than to participate in and uses set amount ".Yet the common recreation participation condition among the present invention is not limited to this example.It can for example be " the unit wager amount of rank in preceding N position " that condition is participated in common recreation among the present invention.

In addition, in the present embodiment, relatively the unit wager amount in each game machine 1 is carried out (seeing Figure 54) with the processing of participating in set amount by external control device 200.Yet in the present invention, relatively the unit wager amount in each game machine 1 can be carried out in each game machine 1 with the processing of participating in set amount.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the memory storage in the invention of (42) and (43) is made up of the memory storage of ROM 242 and RAM 243.Yet the memory storage in the invention of (42) and (43) can be made up of a memory storage.

In the present embodiment, specified conditions are " the unit wager amount are equal to or greater than to participate in and use set amount ".Yet the specified conditions among the present invention are not limited to this example.Specified conditions among the present invention can for example be " each progressive games number of times of carrying out stored counts when playing are equal to or greater than pre-determined number ".

In addition, in the present embodiment, determine whether the integration number is 0 so that determine whether carry out recreation in game machine 1.Yet the processing in the invention of (45) (a) is not limited to this processing.For example, game machine can have the sensor of the existence that can detect the player, and can adopt processing (a) " to determine whether to receive when detecting the player and exist the detection signal from sensor output ".

In the present embodiment, when be made at the unit wager amount reached participation with set amount after at the fixed time (15 minutes) inner product mark be 0 regularly take place really overtime." when be made at the unit wager amount reached participation with set amount after the integration number be 0 really regularly " corresponding with the measurement start time of being scheduled in the invention of (45).Yet the predetermined measurement start time in the invention of (45) is not limited to this example, and can be for example " when satisfying predetermined condition (trigger conditions) ".

According to the 7th embodiment of the present invention, adopt the unit wager amount to be equal to or greater than participation and use the condition of set amount as the condition of participating in crap game.Accumulation stake situation is represented current unit wager amount and is participated in the contrast between the set amount.

This can be appreciated that the player to make unit wager amount in the game machine that he or she plays to reach to participate in and uses set amount, the game media amount that he or she need bet.

As a result, when accumulation stake situation demonstrates the condition of participating in crap game and is satisfied probably, the game media amount that the player can reduce to bet.On the contrary, when accumulation stake situation demonstrated the condition of participating in crap game and unlikely is satisfied, the player can increase the game media amount of stake.In addition, when accumulation stake situation demonstrated the condition of participating in crap game and can not be satisfied, the player can stop recreation.As mentioned above, the player can select its next step action according to accumulation stake situation.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, from being determined to be equivalent to or using set amount greater than deducting the unit wager amount of participating in to participate in set amount.Subsequently, after crap game is finished, will with the stake the corresponding amount of game media amount be added to subtraction after the corresponding game media amount of unit wager amount on.

That is, unit wager amount and participation change crap game next time over to the difference between the set amount.Subsequently, based on the unit wager amount notice accumulation stake situation that changes over to.Therefore, make the unit wager amount substantially exceed to participate in when use set amount, still keep to a certain degree state even can notify player on this game machine just to finish unit wager amount afterwards at crap game when in game machine, having bet a large amount of game medias.As a result, can provide the satisfaction and the sense of superiority to such player.

In addition, even can encourage the player who after crap game has just been finished, has played on the still sufficient game machine of unit wager amount to continue to play games.Therefore, can reduce that the player does not know to remain sufficient unit wager amount and the situation that stops to play games, thereby make the player can enjoy recreation like a cork.On the other hand, when the unit wager amount that changes over to is not many, can give the chance that the player stops to play.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when determining that beginning to measure back integration number in the predetermined measurement start time has been zero when reaching predetermined amount of time, does not allow to participate in crap game even this game machine satisfies the condition of participating in crap game yet.That is, this game machine is disqualification participated in crap game.

About this point, according to the 7th embodiment of the present invention, output unit notice is from the predetermined measurement start time to time through being experienced till the schedule time, and can provide the time index that the player can leave game machine.

According to the 7th embodiment of the present invention, the condition of participating in crap game is that the unit wager amount in the game machine is equal to or greater than the participation set amount.Therefore, in order to satisfy specified conditions, need increase the unit wager amount by playing games for a long time.
