Abstract: The present invention is to determine whether a game result of a slot machine satisfies a specified condition by using a control unit, the specified condition is defined as any one of the plurality of game symbols in the game result replaced so that the reward condition is satisfied, and one of the game symbols replaced to be located at a replacement position; when the control unit determines that the game result satisfies the specified condition, the control unit activates a three-dimensional re-spinning component to generate a replacement game symbol. The replacement game symbol is used to replace the game symbol at the replacement position and update the game result, thereby the control unit re-determines whether the updated game result meets the reward condition, and after the reward condition is met, performs a reward program by using a reward unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a game system allowing at least one prize money value to correspond to at least one optional betting option respectively. After a player bets on the at least one optional betting option, the at least one prize money value corresponding to the at least one optional betting option that has been betted may be activated, such that the player has an opportunity to obtain the at least one prize money value that has been activated. Therefore, the game system of the present invention can induce the player to bet on the optional betting option by virtue of the presence and display of the prize money values, as well as the player's desire to obtain the prize money values, thereby increasing the willingness of the player to raise bets and the revenue of the game system.

Abstract: The present invention mainly includes a score determination unit determining whether a game score of a player satisfies a score threshold value and accordingly generating a score determination signal. A processing unit determines whether to enable an additional bet option according to the score determination signal, and then the processing unit controls a game status display unit to display an enabled status of the additional bet option. When the additional bet option is in the enabled status, the player selects to bet to generate an additional bet signal, and the processing unit controls an odds generation unit to generate at least one of additional random odds. Therefore, the player obtains payouts of the additional random odds.

Abstract: A gaining device includes a prize pool switch control system, which includes an activation threshold calculating element and a control computing unit. The activation threshold calculating element generates at least one activation threshold according to a betting selection of a player and a designated computation method. The control computing unit performs a procedure of: a) capturing the at least one activation threshold and a plurality of prize money values of a prize money server device; b) comparing the prize money values with the at least one activation threshold, and generating an activation signal when at least one of the prize money values corresponds to the at least one activation signal; and c) transmitting the activation signal to the prize money server device to cause a prize money award of the prize money value corresponding to the at least one activation threshold to be in a triggerable state.

Abstract: A casino member mobile device software operation system to allow a player's mobile device to download a casino member mobile device software includes a mobile device software server, at least one human machine platform and a network exchanger. The mobile device software server stores the casino member mobile device software. The human machine platform has a Universal Serial Bus (USB) slot to allow the player to insert the mobile device to perform data transmission between the USB slot and the mobile device. The network exchanger is connected to the human machine platform and the mobile device software server to serve as a data transmission medium between the human machine platform and the mobile device software server. Thus the player can get the casino member mobile device software and operate a game operation console through the aid of the casino member mobile device software to meet use requirements.

Abstract: A method recognizing dice dots comprises the steps: projecting at least one dice with a plurality of different angle light sources; capturing a plurality of images of the dice according to the projecting times of the light sources on the dice; and recognizing dice dots based on the images through calculation methods. When recognized results obtained through the calculation methods are judged same by the recognizing module the dice dots are confirmed and accepted. If the recognized results done through the calculation methods are different, the dice is rolled anew.

Abstract: A Sic-bo automated dice-cage has a control module, a dice module and a switch module. The dice module is connected to the control module and has a base, a dice container, multiple dice, a shaker and a cover. The dice container is pellucid and is mounted on the base. The dice are placed in the dice container. The shaker is mounted movably inside the dice container and is controlled by the control module to shake the dice at a variable frequency.
