Abstract

A gaming machine includes a common display, a racing game controller and gaming terminals. The racing game controller determines action patterns of racehorses in a racing game and executes the racing game on the common display based on the determined action patterns. Each gaming terminal includes a designation switch and an individual display and receives a bet by a player. The designation switch designates a view for viewing a three-dimensional image of bet racehorse on the individual display. Each gaming terminal receives the determined action patterns from the racing game controller, generates frame data of the three-dimensional image of bet racehorse from the view designated by the designation switch based on the received action patterns, and displays the three-dimensional image on the individual display based on the generated frame data, in synchronization with a progress of the racing game displayed on the common display.
