Abstract: A gaming apparatus includes a display, a touch panel, and a controller. The touch panel is disposed so as to cover a display screen of the display, and outputs a position signal corresponding to a position touched by a player. The controller displays an image on the display, and moves the image based on the position signal on either one of conditions that the position signal is continuously received from the touch panel for a predetermined period of time and that the position signal is received from the touch panel a predetermined number of times.

Abstract: A gaming machine of the present invention operates such that when a plurality of positions are inputted, positional information is generated based on the plurality of positions and sign information, indicative of a sign passing across the plurality of positions, is generated based on the positional information upon which comparison is made between sign information, indicative of the signs passing across the plurality of positions, and preliminarily stored sign data to discriminate a correlation between the sign information and the sign data.

Abstract: A typing-game machine has a storage unit for storing a set of a video data item and a song data item for each song, a music playing unit for playing a song based on a song data item, a first image display unit for sequentially displaying a character string which is a part of lyrics of the song being played, a second image display unit for displaying a video image based on a video data item associated with the song being played, and a database making unit. A course of a game is controlled based on whether a character string inputted by typings of keys agrees with the character string displayed or not. The database making unit makes a database with respect to each song about the number of times a video image associated with a song is displayed along with a play of the song.

Abstract: A gaming apparatus includes a display, a touch panel, and a controller. The display displays an image thereon. The touch panel is provided so as to cover a display screen of the display and outputs a position signal corresponding to a point touched by a player. The controller receives the position signal from the touch panel and changes the image in accordance with the number of position signals simultaneously received.

Abstract: A display area of a selection image becomes larger when two locations corresponding to the selection image on a touch panel are pressed simultaneously by hands of a player and a space between the hands is widened while the hands maintain a state of contact to the touch panel. This enables touch panel operability to be diversified.

Abstract: As a result of lottery using the roulette device 3, if the ball 27 enters in the bonus pocket 24 among the pockets formed on the wheel 22, the special bonus game using the WIN lamp 11 occurs and all credits betted to each station 4 in the present game are paid out (S15) to one station 4 which is determined based on the lottery (S123) by the server control CPU 81 that winning is obtained.

Abstract: Either a “list of song names” or a “list of artist names” is set (in a step S12) as a first display ordering which is to be a basic display ordering for songs, and, along with displaying (in steps S13 and S14) a song selection screen according to a display sequence setting table based on this first display ordering which has been set, particularly an appealing portion of a PV of a song which has been displayed in a song candidate display section and which has been selected with a music selection cursor is displayed in a selected PV display section; and furthermore (in steps S15, S20, S26, and S33) a appealing portion of the song is outputted via speakers.

Abstract: A illumination device comprises a transparent member in which a lenticular lens of a cylindrical shape is disposed in a longitudinal direction; and light emitting members disposed in a vertical direction at prescribed intervals inside the transparent member; in which a visual illusion of existence of light emitting rings, respectively arrayed in a horizontal direction and respectively disposed in a vertical direction inside the transparent member, is created by light emitted from the various light emitting members.

Abstract: With a typing game apparatus, it is possible to select a desired difficulty level setting with a difficulty level selection procedure, and, when the execution of the typing game is started, determination is made in a correctness determination procedure as to whether keys which have been input via a keyboard are correct, and as to whether the input timing of those keys is correct. At this time, in an input time period setting procedure, an input time period is set according to the difficulty level which has been set in the difficulty level selection procedure, and the correctness determination of the timing of key input is performed by comparing the input time period which has been set and the timing of the key input.
