  A lottery ball holding unit 332 is disposed above the lottery machine 312. The lottery ball holding unit 332 is formed of a permeable resin so as to be visible from a game player or the like. For this reason, the remaining number of lottery balls can be clearly indicated to the game player. The lottery ball holding unit 332 has a shape opened upward, and holds the lottery ball guided from the lottery ball guiding unit 324. In addition, an opening (not shown) for passing one lottery ball is formed on the bottom surface of the lottery ball holding portion 332.

  A cylindrical rotating body 328 is disposed below the lottery ball holding unit 332. The rotating body 328 has a function of closing an opening formed on the bottom surface of the lottery ball holding unit 332. Thus, the lottery balls held in the lottery ball holding unit 332 are maintained as being held.

  The rotating body 328 is formed with a holding hole (not shown) for holding one lottery ball. A drive unit (not shown) including a rotary motor 326 (see FIG. 10) and the like is disposed at the edge of the rotator 328. When the drive unit is driven, the rotator 328 rotates. By rotating the rotator 328, the holding hole is opened upward, and one lottery ball held in the lottery ball holding unit 332 is dropped into the holding hole through the opening. Further, by rotating the rotator 328, the opening formed in the lottery ball holding unit 332 is closed, and one lottery ball is held in the holding hole. Further, by rotating the rotating body 328, the opening formed in the lottery ball holding unit 332 is closed, the holding hole is opened downward, and one lottery ball held in the holding hole falls downward. Let In this manner, one lottery ball held in the lottery ball holding unit 332 is extracted and dropped. Further, the rotator 328 is formed of a permeable resin, and the lottery balls held in the holding holes are in a state that can be visually recognized by the game player. Therefore, the progress of the game can be clearly shown to the game player.

  Below the rotator 328, a lottery ball receiving portion 334 having permeability is disposed. The lottery ball receiving portion 334 is for receiving a lottery ball dropped from a holding hole of a rotating body disposed above the lottery ball receiving portion 334. For this reason, the lottery balls dropped from the holding holes of the rotator 328 are held in the lottery ball receiving unit 334 in a state visible to the game player. The lottery ball receiving unit 334 is formed with notches 334C and 334D (see FIG. 3) for putting the received lottery ball into one of the two lottery disks 338 and 339. Since the lottery machine 312 has a swinging function, the lottery balls held in the lottery ball receiving unit 334 are guided to one of the two lottery boards 338 and 339 according to the inclination angle.

  In the notches 334C and 334D (see FIG. 3) of the lottery ball receiving portion 334, slopes 336A and 336B are formed in which an insertion path through which the lottery balls can pass is formed. These slopes 336A and 336B are for throwing the lottery balls held in the lottery ball receiving portion 334 into any of the surface portions 338A and 339A (see FIG. 4). The slopes 336A and 336B are formed from a resin having permeability. For this reason, the lottery balls that pass through the slopes 336A and 336B are made visible to the game player.

  Two lottery boards 338 and 339 are disposed at the lower ends of the slopes 336A and 336B. On these lottery boards 338 and 339, lottery balls can roll, and surface portions 338A and 339A (see FIG. 4) having horizontal surfaces with respect to the housing 313 are formed.

  A plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 for holding one lottery ball are formed on the upper surfaces of these surface portions 338A and 339A (see FIG. 4). A shutter 347 (see FIG. 10) is disposed on the bottom surface of the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341. During the game, the shutter 347 is controlled to be closed, and the lottery balls that have entered the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 are held. In addition, after the game is over, the lottery balls that have entered the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 are discharged into the lottery machine 312 by controlling the shutter 347 to the open state. The plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 are each provided with a ball detection sensor 349 (see FIG. 10). The entrance detection sensor 349 detects that a lottery ball has entered any of a plurality of lottery holes.

  Below the two lottery boards 338 and 339 of the lottery machine 312, a collection unit 345 in which a first collection passage 344 and a second collection passage 350 are formed is provided. The collection unit 345 receives the lottery balls that have entered the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 in the first collection passage 344 by controlling the shutter 347 (see FIG. 10) to be in the open state. The collection unit 345 is formed with inclined portions 353A and 353B for dropping the lottery balls received in the first collection passage 344 downward. Furthermore, a second recovery passage 350 extending in the horizontal direction is formed below the inclined portions 353A and 353B. As a result, the lottery balls that have entered the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 are guided and held in the second collection passage 350 via the first collection passage 344.

  An opening / closing gate 352 is disposed in the second collection passage 350. The open / close gate 352 is controlled to be openable / closable. For this reason, when the open / close gate 352 is in the open state, the lottery balls can pass between the second collection passage 350 and the lower end of the spiral body 320A. On the other hand, when the open / close gate 352 is closed, the lottery balls cannot pass between the second collection passage 350 and the lower end of the spiral body 320A. Thus, the lottery machine 312 is swung so that the stern 312B side is lower than the bow 312A side, and the open / close gate 352 is controlled to be in an open state, whereby the lottery balls held in the second collection passage 350 are It will be derived | led-out to the lower end of 320 A of spirals. Further, when the open / close gate 352 is controlled to be in the closed state, the lottery balls led to the lower end of the spiral body 320 </ b> A do not return to the second recovery passage 350 and are further held in the second recovery passage 350. The lottery balls are not led to the lower end of the spiral 320A.

  A lottery ball passage detection sensor 351 is disposed between the open / close gate 352 and the lower end of the spiral body 320A. The lottery ball passage detection sensor 351 is for detecting the number of lottery balls derived from the second collection passage 350 to the lower end of the spiral body 320A via the open / close gate 352. Therefore, the lottery machine 312 is tilted so that the stern 312B side is lower than the bow 312A side, and the open / close gate 352 is controlled to be in the open state, so that the lottery balls passing through the open / close gate 352 become a predetermined number. In this case, the open / close gate 352 is controlled to be closed, and a predetermined number of lottery balls are led to the lower end of the spiral body 320A. Further, after a predetermined number of lottery balls are led out to the lower end of the spiral body 320 </ b> A, the lottery balls do not return to the second collection passage 350.

  Further, the lottery machine 312 is provided with a swing device 346, which can swing and tilt about a swing shaft 348.

The STRAT lamp 329 is turned on when the lottery ball falls from the holding hole of the rotator 328 to the lottery ball receiving portion 334, and the word START is displayed to be visible to the game player. The In addition, by providing a plurality of lighting devices (not shown) in the game machine 310, it is possible to light up the sailboat type lottery machine 312 with various colors, and various effects in conjunction with the swing operation. You may comprise so that it may be possible.

[Explanation of lottery ball receiving part, etc.]
The lottery ball receiving unit 334 and the slopes 336A and 336B described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a top view showing the lottery ball receiver 334 and the slopes 336A and 336B.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the above-described lottery ball receiving portion 334 has a recess 334A. The recess 334A receives a lottery ball that falls from the holding hole of the rotating body 328 described above. In addition, two notches 334C and 334D are formed on the side surface 334B of the lottery ball receiving portion 334. For this reason, the lottery balls received in the recess 334A roll out of the recess 334A from one of the two notches 334C and 334D when the lottery machine 312 is swung.

  The upper ends of the slopes 336A and 336B are disposed in these notches 334C and 334D. Further, the lower ends of the slopes 336A and 336B are respectively disposed above the lottery boards 338 and 339 as described above. For this reason, these slopes 336A and 336B receive the lottery balls that are rolled out of the lottery ball receiving portion 334 from the notches 334C and 334D of the lottery ball receiving portion 334 described above, and any one of the lottery disks 338 and 339 Will be guided to. Further, each of these slopes 336A, 336B is arranged to throw lottery balls in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lottery boards 338, 339. In this embodiment, the slopes 336A and 336B are formed linearly. However, the slopes 336A and 336B may not be formed linearly, for example, may be formed to have a curve.

[Explanation of lottery board]
The lottery machine 312 and the lottery boards 338 and 339 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a top view showing the lottery machine 312. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the lottery board 338. FIG. 6 is a top view showing the lottery board 338. Since the lottery board 339 has the same configuration as the lottery board 338, the lottery board 339 is not shown in FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the lottery machine 312 is provided with the two lottery boards 338 and 339 as described above. Since the two lottery boards 338 and 339 can be provided with a plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341, for example, a lot of lottery holes are provided as compared with the case where one lottery board is used. The installation space in the game field can be used effectively without taking up space. As a result, many lottery holes can be provided. For example, it is possible to increase interest by increasing the payout.

  These lottery boards 338 and 339 are circular when viewed from above. These lottery boards 338 and 339 are rotatably arranged on the deck of the housing 313. The lottery boards 338 and 339 are formed with surface portions 338A and 339A that allow the lottery balls to roll. The lottery wheels 338 and 339 rotate in substantially the same direction (see arrows B1 and B2) as the direction in which the lottery balls are thrown from the slopes 336A and 336B (see arrows A1 and A2). Specifically, the lottery board 338 rotates clockwise, and the slope 336A is inserted in the clockwise direction as shown in FIG. For this reason, when it rolls on the lottery boards 338 and 339, the speed does not become remarkably slow. Therefore, it is unlikely that a lottery ball will enter any of the lottery holes 340 and 341 in a very short time.

  In addition, a connection table 390 is provided between the lottery boards 338 and 339. The connection table 390 has a horizontal surface with the surface portions 338A and 339A of the lottery boards 338 and 339. For this reason, it is possible to roll the lottery balls between the lottery boards 338 and 339. Moreover, the rolling speed of the lottery ball is not significantly reduced.

  Guide sections 392 and 394 are provided between the lottery boards 338 and 339. These guide portions 392 and 394 are provided at positions that sandwich the connection table 390 along the outer circumference of the lottery wheels 338 and 339. These guide portions 392 and 394 are more convex than the surface portions 338A and 339A of the lottery wheels 338 and 339. For this reason, the lottery balls collide with the guide portions 392 and 394 to guide the rolling of the lottery balls.

  In addition, bank portions 396 and 398 are provided outside the lottery boards 338 and 339. These bank parts 396 and 398 are provided along the outer periphery of the lottery boards 338 and 339. These bank portions 396 and 398 are more convex than the surface portions 338A and 339A of the lottery boards 338 and 339. For this reason, even when the lottery balls thrown into the lottery boards 338 and 339 from the slopes 336A and 336B roll outside the lottery boards 338 and 339, the lottery balls ride on the bank units 396 and 398, 339 is rolled again. In addition, when the lottery balls riding on the bank units 396 and 398 are rolled on the lottery boards 338 and 339, the speed is not significantly reduced. Therefore, it is unlikely that a lottery ball will enter one of the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 in a very short time, and a lottery ball will enter one of the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 in about 10 to 30 seconds. It will be.

  Further, the lottery boards 338 and 339 rotate in the reverse direction as indicated by arrows B1 and B2. For this reason, the lottery balls thrown into the lottery board 338 may roll from the lottery board 338 to the lottery board 339 via the connection table 390. Conversely, the lottery balls thrown into the lottery board 339 may roll from the lottery board 339 to the lottery board 338 via the connection table 390. Therefore, the lottery boards 338 and 339 are rolled. Further, since the lottery machine 312 is provided with the swinging device 346, the housing 313 of the lottery machine 312 is swung so that, for example, the lottery boards 338 and 339 roll into a figure of eight. In addition to rolling the lottery balls on the lottery boards 338 and 339, it is possible to provide a novel game that is difficult to predict to the game player, and to improve the interest of the game. The lottery boards 338 and 339, the connection table 390, the guide portions 392 and 394, and the bank portions 396 and 398 are surrounded by a fence formed of a permeable resin, and the lottery balls roll outside the fence. There is no fear.

  These lottery boards 338 and 339 are provided with 26 lottery holes 340 and 341, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5, the lottery holes 340 provided in the lottery board 338 are assigned identification information including spades and hearts as the first code. Specifically, spades A, 2 to 10, J, Q, K, and hearts A, 2 to 10, J, Q, and K are assigned to a plurality of lottery holes 340 provided in the lottery board 338. On the other hand, the plurality of lottery holes 341 provided in the lottery board 339 are assigned identification information including a club and a diamond as the first code. Specifically, clubs A, 2 to 10, J, Q, K and diamonds A, 2 to 10, J, Q, and K are assigned to a plurality of lottery holes 341 provided in the lottery board 339. In other words, since any one of the plurality of codes is of the same type, it is possible to easily recognize the identification information desired by the game player by visually recognizing the place where the lottery ball rolls. And an expectation can be given, and the interest in the game can be improved. For example, when the lottery ball is rolling to the lottery board 338, it can be easily recognized that the first code is spade or heart, and the lottery ball is rolling to the lottery board 339. It can be easily recognized that the first code is a club or a diamond. That is, to the two lottery boards 338 and 339, identification information in which one of the first codes is the same type is assigned to the plurality of lottery holes 340 and 341 in the two lottery boards 338 and 339. Accordingly, for example, by visually recognizing the lottery boards 338 and 339 on which the lottery balls roll, the identification information desired by the game player can be easily recognized, and the player can be more impatient and expecting. Can improve the interest of the game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the lottery board 338 is provided with a plurality of lottery holes 340 along the circumferences C <b> 1 and C <b> 2 around the rotation center point C <b> 0. This circumference C2 is on the inner side than C1. In addition, 16 lottery holes are provided along the circumference C1, and 10 lottery holes are provided along the circumference C2. Further, as described above, these 26 lottery holes 340 are assigned spades A, 2 to 10, J, Q, and K, hearts A, 2 to 10, J, Q, and K. Specifically, the 16 lottery holes provided along the circumference C1 are assigned spades A, 2-8, and hearts A, 2-8, and are provided along the circumference C2.

Note that the gaming terminals 314A to 314J are all the same gaming terminal, and therefore the following description will be made by using 314A as a representative.

  In a conventional bingo game, a predetermined number of numbers are drawn with a probability of 1/25 out of 25 numbers on a bingo card with 5 × 5 bingo baskets, and the number that is drawn is in the bingo card Sometimes the bingo bowl corresponding to the number is activated, and when the five activated bingo bowls are arranged on the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of the bingo card, the bingo role is established. In this embodiment, instead of the number as identification information used in the conventional bingo game, a playing card (one or two jokers may be included or no joker may be included. (The free spot with a specific bingo bowl activated regardless of it may be used as a joker) is used as identification information, and the probability of 1/52 (or 1/53, 1/54) in the lottery machine 312 (see FIG. 2) If the bingo card displayed in the bingo card displayed on the display screen of the gaming terminal 314A contains identification information of the same type as the above-mentioned lottery identification information, it corresponds to the bingo card. Enable bingo candy. Here, with the above-mentioned activated bingo bowl, it becomes a conventional bingo role (for example, 3 or 4 or 5 activated bingo bowls are arranged on a specific line of the bingo card). In addition, a poker role (for example, one-pair, two-pair, three-card, straight, flush, full house, four-card, straight flush, royal flush, five card, etc.) may be established, and dividends according to the bingo or poker role Is given to the game player. Then, it is assumed that a poker combination and a bingo combination may be simultaneously formed on a specific same line of the bingo card. In this case, both a payout corresponding to the poker combination and a payout corresponding to the bingo combination are awarded to the game player. It was. However, the probability that the bingo bowl is activated is lower than that of the conventional bingo game, and the possibility that the bingo role is established is reduced. Therefore, the bingo combination is established when five activated bingo bowls are arranged on the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines of the bingo card, but the bingo is activated not only in five but also in three or four. It was decided that the role of bingo would be established when the kites were ready.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the operation of the game terminal 314A related to the game by the player is accepted by the touch panel system except for the operation by the dial 376A and the dial 377A (both refer to FIG. 8). That is, it is assumed that a touch sensor 372A (see FIG. 11) is provided on the surface of the display device 370A, and the game player can operate a gaming terminal intended by the game player by touching a predetermined touching portion of the display device 370A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a method of accepting operations that does not depend on a touch panel may be employed (in this case, the gaming terminal 314A may not include the touch sensor 372A), for example, a predetermined switch A game player may be accepted by providing a class. Alternatively, all operations of the game player may be received by dials 336A and 337A.

[Game terminal standby screen]
With reference to FIG. 12, a standby screen displayed on a display screen (not shown) of display device 370A of gaming terminal 314A will be described.

  FIG. 12 is an example of a game terminal 314A screen for accepting game entries displayed on the game terminal 314 display device 370A. In this screen, touch sections 480 and 481 for accepting game entry operations and dials 376A, The operation of 377A (see FIG. 8) is effective. Inserting medals into the medal insertion slot 378A (see FIG. 8) is invalid, and the inserted medals are returned to the game player from the medal payout exit 382A. In addition, bingo baskets in which playing cards are arranged in a matrix on the bingo card displayed on the display device 370A are still displayed in a relatively dark or shaded manner so that the lottery is still won. It is shown that it is a bingo bowl that has not been activated. Hereinafter, when the bingo bowl is activated, when there is a bingo bowl on which cards of the same type as the playing cards drawn by the lottery machine 312 are present, the bingo bowl can be recognized separately from the other bingo bowls. It is assumed that the process of displaying is as follows. By the process of activating the bingo bowl, for example, the bingo bowl is displayed relatively brightly or displayed with the shading canceled. Note that the bingo card of the bingo card on the standby screen of the gaming terminal 314 is not validated by the lottery of the identification information in the lottery machine 312. Further, the values of line odds and poker odds shown on the display screen (not shown) of the display device 370A are not changed by any operation by the game player.

  Note that the arrangement of the playing cards displayed on the bingo card having 5 × 5 bingo baskets shown on the standby screen of the gaming terminal 314A is different from the arrangement of the bingo cards used for the game after the game entry. Here, the display is only a demonstration screen, and the arrangement of the playing cards displayed on the bingo card after the game entry is determined again.

  An entry to the game is accepted when the touching portion 480 or the touching portion 481 is touched by the game player. When this game entry is accepted by the gaming terminal 314A, the display changes to the screen of FIG.

[Game terminal screen after game entry]
With reference to FIG. 13, the screen after the game entry displayed on the display screen (not shown) of the display device 370A of the gaming terminal 314A will be described.

  FIG. 13 shows a screen on which a bingo card composed of 5 × 5 bingo baskets associated with playing cards is determined and displayed. At this time, the playing card is arranged in such a way that a predetermined poker role (for example, a poker role formed by five playing cards, ie, straight, flush, full house, straight flush, royal flush) is included in advance on a specific line. Be placed. By preparing a high payout combination in advance in the bingo card in this way, there is an effect of increasing the expectation of the game player. In addition, a playing card is randomly arranged on a bingo bowl other than the predetermined poker combination. Further, the display of the touch part 480 and the touch part 481 is erased, and the display of the all reach state display part 483 described later appears. In this state of the screen, a BET operation based on the game player's insertion of medals and operations such as the dial 376A and the dial 377A (both see FIG. 8) are effective for a certain time (for example, a predetermined time such as 45 seconds). . For example, according to a BET operation based on the medal insertion of a game player, a predetermined number of medals are bet, thereby increasing the level of the line odds shown in the line odds table 482 (portion surrounded by hatching in the figure). Is moved further upward in the drawing, and the numerical value of the odds level display of the line odds in the drawing increases (in FIG. 13, the portion surrounded by the diagonal line is located in the second column from the bottom of the line odds table 482). The odds level is 2.) Similarly, when a predetermined number of medals are bet, the value of the poker odds shown in the poker odds table 484 is raised, and the value of the display of the poker odds level in the figure is raised (in the figure, each The odds value for the poker role is as shown, and the odds level for poker odds is 3. The odds level referred to here is an index indicating which hierarchy the odds value is divided into a predetermined hierarchy according to the magnitude. For example, the higher the odds level value, the higher the odds value, or the higher the odds level value, the lower the odds value.

  Note that even on the display screen (not shown) of the display device 370A of the gaming terminal after the game entry, all bingo cards on the bingo card are displayed in a relatively dark or shaded manner. It is indicated that the bingo bowl is a bingo bowl that has not yet won the lottery and has not been activated.

  When the BET operation based on the medal insertion of the game player and the operation of the dial 376A and the dial 377A (both see FIG. 8) are effective, the game player is shaded with diagonal lines rising diagonally to the right in FIG. The bingo basket on the inner periphery 490 of the bingo card can be rotated and moved by the operation of the dial 377A, and the bingo bowl on the outer periphery 491 of the bingo card shaded by the diagonally downward slanting line in FIG. Is possible. Specifically, when the game player rotates the dial 376A counterclockwise by a predetermined amount, the bingo bowl on the inner periphery 490 of the bingo card is also counterclockwise centered on the center of the bingo card by a predetermined amount accordingly. Rotate around. For example, when the dial 376A is rotated counterclockwise by an amount corresponding to the movement of one bingo basket, for example, the Q of the heart located at the upper left corner of the inner periphery 490 of the bingo card in FIG. J moves to the location where J is located, and J in the heart moves to where the club 3 is located. In this manner, the bingo bowl moves counterclockwise one by one. The same applies to the rotational movement of the outer periphery 491 of the bingo card by operating the dial 377A. In this way, the game player can move the bingo basket so as to rotate arbitrarily around the center of the bingo card. This operation is possible as long as the operation is accepted at the gaming terminal 314A. By making such operations possible, it is necessary not only to move the bingo bowl so that the bingo role is likely to be established, but also to consider the poker role, and to improve the strategy. You will need it. Strategies means, for example, whether you want to move to a pair that has a low dividend but a high probability of being established, or a royal flush that has a high dividend but a low probability of being established. It means that there is.

[Game terminal screen during game play]
With reference to FIG. 14, an example of display on the display device 370A of the gaming terminal 314 during the game will be described.

  When the type of the playing card is drawn by the lottery machine 312, the result is transmitted to the gaming terminal 314A, and the gaming terminal 314A that has received the result has the same type of playing card as the gaming card 314A. It is determined whether it exists in the bingo card displayed on the display device 370A. As a result of this determination, if the same type of playing card is present in the bingo card displayed on the display device 370A of the gaming terminal 314A, the bingo basket on which the playing card of the bingo card is arranged is displayed relatively brightly. This indicates that it is an activated bingo bowl, such as by canceling the shaded display.

  In FIG. 14, for example, seven bingo jars with diamonds 10, heart Js, etc. arranged are activated by a method such as displaying them relatively brightly or canceling the shaded display. It is shown that it is a bingo bowl. Then, while the lottery machine 312 performs lottery for a predetermined number of times, the bingo bowl activated by the lottery is activated by a method such as displaying it relatively brightly or canceling the shaded display. Continue to show that it is a bingo bowl.

[Reach status display]
Further, in the display device 370A of the gaming terminal 314A shown in FIG. 14, the next activation is performed based on the result of determining which bingo bowl is activated the next time that a bingo combination or poker combination is established. The bingo bowl to be played is displayed so as to be identifiable to the game player. This display includes a method of individually displaying a bingo bowl or a bingo bowl where a poker role is established by being activated next (hereinafter referred to as reach state individual display), and a method of displaying the bingo bowl so that it can be grasped at once. (Hereinafter, all reach status display). The reach state refers to a state in which a bingo combination or a poker combination may be established when a specific bingo bowl is activated next time.

  The reach state individual display and the all reach state display can display the reach state corresponding to the bingo bowl after the movement according to the movement of the bingo bowl, that is, every time the bingo bowl moves.

  In the reach state individual display, for example, in FIG. 14, when a bingo bowl with a heart K is activated, a three card as a poker role is established, and three bingo bowls are arranged as a bingo game. The player is informed of the state by a method such as blinking a bingo basket in which a heart K is arranged. Further, as will be described later, when there are a plurality of bingo bowls in which a poker combination and / or bingo combination is established when activated, each bingo bowl is switched and flashed to display which bingo bowl. When is activated, it is possible to identify whether a poker combination and / or a bingo combination is established.

  For example, in FIG. 14, when the bingo bowl in which the heart K, the spade A, the spade K, and the club J are arranged in FIG. 14, the poker and / or bingo combination is established. Therefore, these bingo bowls are displayed on the all reach state display unit 483 at a time, and the state is notified to the game player. In FIG. 14, the blinking display 485 indicates where the bingo bowl that is activated and has a poker combination and / or bingo combination is located in the entire bingo card. The blinking display 485 indicates only the position in the bingo card of the bingo bowl where the poker role and / or bingo role is established when activated, and does not indicate the type of the playing card arranged in the bingo bowl. The present invention is not limited to this, and the type of playing cards may also be shown.

  In the bingo game, playing cards are used as identification information (especially, the number of playing cards is the first identification information, and the symbol of the playing cards is the second identification information). The number of patterns increased, making it difficult to distinguish. In addition, since the bingo bowl can be moved, the reach state changes variously due to the movement. Therefore, it has become difficult for the game player to quickly determine what kind of reach state is occurring. However, by adopting the two reach state display methods as described above, the game player is expected to establish a poker role and / or a bingo role when a bingo bowl is activated in a bingo game. Since it is possible to easily and accurately grasp whether or not it is possible, the game player is able to play the game with peace of mind while being excited and maintaining interest.

[Transition of individual display screens for gaming terminals]
With reference to FIG. 15, the transition of the reach state individual display screen displayed on the display screen (not shown) of the display device 370A of the gaming terminal 314A will be described.

  As described above for the individual reach state display, in FIG. 14, when the bingo bowl in which the heart K, the spade A, the spade K, and the club J are arranged is activated, the poker role and / or the bingo A role is formed. FIG. 15 shows the same situation as FIG. 14, and the manner in which the bingo bowls on which the heart K, the spade A, the spade K, and the club J are individually displayed blinking is shown in FIGS. This is shown step by step in D).
