Abstract
A gaming machine includes plural stations and a processor. Each station can determine a game result and execute a game independently. The processor obtains an operation status of each station when a predetermined condition is satisfied. There is selected an event game among a plurality of event games, based on the operation status of each station. Then, there is executed the selected event game in common at plural stations.
Claims8
A gaming machine comprising:
- plural stations each of which determines a game result and executes a game independently;
- and
- a processor which executes:
- (a) a process to execute a base game independently at each station;
- (b) a process to obtain an operation status of each station;
- (c) a process to select an event game among a plurality of event games based on the operation status of each station obtained thereby when a predetermined condition is satisfied;
- and
- (d) a process to execute the event game selected thereby in common at plural stations.

- (e) a process to select an event game to be independently operated at each station among a plurality of event games when the operation rate calculated thereby is lower than a predetermined rate;
- and
- (f) a process to execute the event game selected thereby in common at plural stations.
