Abstract

In the slot machine 1, when the touch panel 5k corresponding to the periphery of the denomination display part 32 is touched, the numerical keypad image, which constructs the numerical keypad device 35 in cooperation with the touch panel 5k, is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 5d and input operation of voluntary denomination value through the numerical keypad device 35 is activated. After the sum is input through the numerical keypad device 35, if the player operates the start lever 9 or the spin switch 13 or the MAX BET switch 17, the numerical keypad image disappears. The denomination is recognized by the main CPU 42. Next, when the bet number is directed through operation of the 1-BET switch 16 or the MAX-BET switch 17, the sum calculated by multiplying the denomination with the bet number is set as the betted money. And based on the operation of the start lever 9 or the spin switch or the MAX BET switch 17 by the player, rotation process of the reels 2 to 4 is done, thereby the slot machine game is started.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011] In the above gaming machine, when the numerical value is input by the input device, this numerical value is recognized as the amount of the game media betted for one bet by the denomination recognition device. Here, the above amount of the game media betted for one bet corresponds to a denomination, and the amount of the game media betted for one game is calculated by multiplying the denomination with a bet number. Therefore, the player can voluntarily set the amount of the game media betted for one bet without being limited to an amount fixed beforehand as in the conventional gaming machine. And operability to determine the game medium amount can be raised.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the slot machine shown in the above Japanese reference, a coin number betted for one bet is fixed, therefore the player cannot freely determine the bet number.
