Gaming machine providing bet region with new payout rate in roulette game
View Patent ↗The range of game strategies for a player in a roulette game is broadened by providing a bet region corresponding to a new bet rate. A CPU displays a plurality of bet regions, as well as displays a third bet region corresponding to a third numerical range that is smaller than a first numerical range corresponding to a first bet range among a plurality of bet regions, and that is larger than a second numerical range corresponding to a second bet region among the plurality of bet regions. Next, a bet is accepted for a bet region thus displayed, and in a case where it is determined that an award is to be granted for the bet region thus accepted, payout data corresponding to the bet region is extracted from ROM, and the award according to the payout data thus extracted is granted.
