In step S106, the server control CPU 81 determines whether or not the betting period has ended. If it is determined that the betting period has not ended (step S106: NO), the system continues to wait until the betting period ends, while it is determined that the betting period has ended (step S106: YES). In step S107, a betting period end signal indicating that the betting period has ended is transmitted to the station control CPU 91.

Next, in step S108, the server control CPU 81 displays the bet information (the number of bets (the number of bets) bet on the designated BET area 72, the designated BET area 72, and the betting method) made by the player at each station 4. It is received from the station control CPU 91 and stored in the bet information storage area 83B of the RAM 83.

Thereafter, in step S109, the server control CPU 81 records a credit corresponding to 0.30% of the total credit betted at each station 4 received in step S108 in the JP cumulative storage area 83D of “MINI” in the RAM 83. The credit corresponding to 0.20% of the total credit is cumulatively added to the JP amount recorded in the JP cumulative storage area 83E of “MAJOR” in the RAM 83, A credit corresponding to 0.15% of the total credit is accumulated and added to the amount of JP recorded in the JP cumulative storage area 83F of “MEGA” in the RAM 83. Accordingly, the display of the JP amount display unit 15, the MEGA display unit 73, the MAJOR display unit 74, and the MINI display unit 75 is updated.

Next, in step S110, the server control CPU 81 transmits a game frequency notification signal to the station control CPU 91.

Further, in step S117, the server control CPU 81 executes a payout calculation process. In the payout calculation process, the winning chip bet on the winning number is recognized for each station 4, and the payout rate for each BET area 72 stored in the payout credit storage area 82A of the ROM 82 is paid out per chip (1 bet). The total amount of payout of credits to be paid out to each station 4 is calculated.

In step S118, the server control CPU 81 executes a game credit payout result based on the payout calculation process in step S117 and a JP payout result transmission process based on the JP bonus game winning determination in step S113. Specifically, credit data corresponding to the game payout amount is output to the station control CPU 91 of the station 4 won in the game, and if the JP is won, it is further added to the currently accumulated JP amount. Corresponding credit data is output.

Thereafter, in step S119, the server control CPU 81 drives a ball collection device provided below the wheel 22, and collects the ball 27 on the wheel 22. The collected ball 27 is again thrown into the wheel 22 of the roulette device 3 in the next and subsequent games.
