Since different items are distributed according to the number of times the game has reached the big hit state (specific game state), the game performance is further enhanced.

As described above, the CPU 1200 executes the gaming machine management program 1790, thereby
It is determined whether the game information of 00 satisfies a predetermined condition, and when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the item can be distributed to the corresponding gaming machine 3000 side,
Moreover, since the item is distributed so that the item is received by both the corresponding gaming machine 3000 and the inter-stand device 3100 adjacent thereto, the item can be distributed in a novel manner.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the gaming machine 3000 may use the item as image information for a standby screen for a mobile phone and perform a display effect using the item.

As described above, according to the present invention,
The effect that an item can be delivered to a gaming machine or its stand device in a novel manner according to a gaming situation is obtained.
