Benefits of technology

[0010]According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a game is started, a table on which a plurality of dice are placed vibrates, and then, the plurality of dice roll on the table. Finally, vibration of the table stops, and then, rolled numbers of the dice on the table are detected.

Thus, the player is caused to pay attention to the behavior of the dice, making it possible to enhance anticipation and excitement. In addition, a drive operation section can vibrate the table when a predetermined condition is established. For example, when rolled numbers unfavorable to the player almost appear (for example, when the rolled numbers different from those of betted dice almost appear), the dice can be further rolled by vibrating the table, thus making it possible to enhance excitement among the players.
