Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de fournir une machine de jeu qui peut accorder des gains de telle sorte qu'une non-équité ne se produit pas avec les paiements dus à un changement du nombre de paris. À cet effet, l'invention concerne une machine de jeu comprenant : un dispositif d'acceptation de pari qui accepte un pari pour démarrer un jeu ; une mémoire qui stocke un nombre enregistré de paris qui indiquent un enregistrement du nombre de paris ; et un dispositif de commande pour exécuter un jeu de base et une pluralité de jeux de hasard pour lesquels des paris sont nécessaires et une pluralité de jeux gratuits pour lesquels des paris ne sont pas requis. Le dispositif de commande provoque une transition du jeu de base à l'un des jeux de hasard parmi la pluralité de jeux de hasard lorsqu'une première condition de transition est satisfaite, provoque une transition soit du jeu de base ou du jeu de hasard à l'un des jeux gratuits parmi la pluralité de jeux gratuits lorsqu'une seconde condition de transition différente de la première condition de transition est satisfaite, et ajuste les gains qui peuvent être gagnés dans le jeu de hasard ou le jeu gratuit en fonction du nombre de paris enregistré dans le jeu de base et du nombre de paris dans le jeu de hasard.
