Abstract: In a unit game that is repeatedly executed, an “ODDS UP determining process” is executed in which a bet type to be subjected to ODDS UP is randomly determined, among all bet types. When the “ODDS UP determining process” is executed, one or more bet types are determined as a specific bet type, or no bet type is determined as a specific bet type.

Thereby, when a bet is made in the specific bet type determined in the “ODDS UP determining process” and a winning is made in this bet type, a payout to be awarded to a player is larger.
