(d) a rolled-number recognition section for recognizing rolled numbers of the plurality of dice that are in a stopped state after vibration of the table stops; and

(e) a controller for controlling vibration of the table and a timing at which the vibration of the table stops; accepting BET operation from the BET operating section; and controlling payout processing of a gaming value corresponding to a payment, with referring to rolled numbers of dice specified by the rolled-number recognition section.

2 . The dice game machine according to claim 1 , comprising:

a plurality of player terminals provided with at least the BET operating section; and

an image display device that can be visually recognized from a player of each of said player terminals,

wherein the controller causes the image display device to display an effect image when the dice on the table vibrates.

3 . The dice game machine according to claim 1 , wherein:

the rolled-number recognition section recognizes rolled numbers of the dice existing on the table after vibration has stopped and rolled numbers of the dice that have dropped in pockets.

4 . The dice game machine according to claim 1 , wherein:

the controller executes game processing capable of acquiring an additional gaming value to the player in a case where either of the rolled numbers of the dice on the table and the rolled numbers of the dice that have dropped in pockets are obtained in a predetermined combination and the player has made BET operation for the predetermined combination.

5 . The dice game machine according to claim 1 , wherein:

the controller executes accumulation processing at a predetermined rate among a BET amount determined when the player makes BET operation; and executes, for the player, payout processing of a past accumulation amount, in a case where either of rolled numbers of the dice existing on the table and rolled numbers of the dice that have dropped in pockets are obtained in a predetermined combination and the player has made BET operation for the predetermined combination.

6 . A dice game machine, comprising:

(a) a table on which a plurality of dice roll, the table having pockets in which at least one of the plurality of dice drops;

(b) a vibration section for vibrating the table to roll the dice on the table;

(c) a BET operating section, which enables a player to perform BET operation while predicting at least either of rolled numbers of the dice existing on the table after vibration of the table has stopped and rolled numbers of the dice that have dropped in the pockets;

(d) a rolled-number recognition section for recognizing rolled numbers of the plurality of dice; and

(e) a controller,

the controller being configured to:

(i) accept a process of BET operation from the player via the BET operating section;

(ii) control vibration of the table by means of the vibration section so that a plurality of dice rolls on the table;

(iii) control vibration of the table, which is exerted by the vibration section, to be stopped in a case where it is detected that at least one die has dropped in a pocket of the table;

(iv) control the rolled-number recognition section to recognize predetermined rolled numbers of dice after stopping vibration of the table; and

(v) determine whether or not a combination of the recognized predetermined rolled numbers of the dice conforms to a predetermined condition and pay out a gaming value corresponding to a payment to the player in a case where the accepted BET operation is performed for the predetermined condition.

7 . The dice game machine according to claim 6 , wherein:

the controller executes a first game in a case the rolled-number recognition section recognizes that a combination of rolled numbers of the dice that have stopped on the table conforms to a predetermined condition, and executes a second game in a case where a combination of rolled numbers of dice that have dropped in pockets of the table conforms to a predetermined condition.

8 . A dice game method, comprising the steps of:

(a) vibrating a table on which a plurality of dice roll, the table having pockets in which at least one of the plurality of dice drops;

(b) accepting processing for a player to make BET operation while predicting at least either of rolled numbers of the dice existing on the table after vibration of the table stops and rolled numbers of the dice that have dropped in the pockets;

(c) recognizing rolled numbers of a plurality of specific dice after stopping vibration of the table;

(d) judging whether or not rolled numbers of the plurality of specified dice conform to a predetermined condition; and

(e) paying out a gaming value corresponding to a payment to a player in a case where it is determined that rolled numbers of the plurality of specified dice conform to a predetermined condition and the accepted BET operation is performed for the predetermined condition.

9 . The dice game method according to claim 8 , further comprising the step of executing, for the player, special game processing capable of acquiring an additional gaming value, in a case where either of rolled numbers of the dice existing on the table and rolled numbers of the dice that have dropped in pockets are obtained in a predetermined combination and the player has made BET operation for the predetermined combination.

10 . The dice game method according to claim 8 , further comprising the steps of:

executing accumulation processing at a predetermined rate among a BET amount when the player makes BET operation; and

executing, for the player, payout processing of a past accumulation amount, in a case where either of rolled numbers of the dice on the table and the dice that have dropped in pockets are obtained in a predetermined combination and the player has made BET operation for the predetermined combination.
