Abstract
In a gaming machine of the present invention, a player places a bet by operating a gaming terminal for a roulette game displayed on a roulette device, for example. A period of accepting the bet of game media on the roulette game is set according to the status of the roulette game. For example, an inappropriate period for accepting the bet on the roulette game is excluded from the accepting period. Upon completion of the accepting period, the bet operation cannot be accepted. Instead, the bet which is placed at the gaming terminal after the completion of the accepting period is accepted as the bet on the next roulette game.
