Abstract: A gaming system of the present invention comprises a plurality of gaming machines and a control device including a processor, wherein the processor is programmed to execute processing of (A) cumulatively counting a part of a number of betted game media as a cumulative value based on number-of-game-media information received from the gaming machine, and (C) executing a common game, when a number of the gaming machines joining the game is equal to or more than a specific number.

Abstract: A gaming machine of the present invention is configured to include: terminal devices each of which executes a base game with a game value being bet and awards a prize according to a predetermined winning; routes each formed by continuously disposing route light emitters from a corresponding terminal device out of the terminal devices to a common display; the common display having common display light emitters arranged in a matrix and route light emitters arranged so as to form several straight lines each acting as an extension route, the common display being attachably/detachably unitized with the routes; and a controller.

Abstract: In each gaming terminal, the base game is run independently from the other gaming terminals and the payout is awarded according to a predetermined winning. The bonus game is run based on a predetermined condition. When a predetermined winning is met in any of the gaming terminals, the state of the light emitting portions in the corresponding path having straight and bent portions is changed toward the bonus payout indicator, in numbers fewer in the straight portion than in the bent portion. The bonus payout is awarded in the gaming terminal corresponding to a path in which the light emitting portions underwent state changes up to the bonus payout indicator.

Abstract: According to a gaming system of the present invention, the control device cumulatively counts a part of the number of game media betted in each of the gaming machines as a cumulative value. Further, when the cumulative value reaches a predetermined value, a common game is executed in the gaming machine. When the common game is executed, the control device lights the illuminants included in the coupling illuminated line provided for each of the gaming machines based on a result of the common game and pays out a predetermined number of game media to the gaming machine provided with the coupling illuminated line with all the illuminants included therein having been lighted.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes: a plurality of gaming terminals, a shared display, and a plurality of routs. Each of the gaming terminals has first light emitting portions which provide an effect to a game.

Abstract: A gaming machine of the present invention includes: a plurality of gaming terminals each of which has a first light emitting portion, and which runs a base game and a special game configured to award a special payout; and a shared display. When the special game is run, an emission color of the first light emitting portion and that of the second emitting portions are determined for each gaming terminal, based on a game value. Further, every time a gaming terminal achieves a predetermined winning in the special game having been run, the first light emitting portion is activated in the emission color thus determined, and the second light emitting portions forming a route associated with the gaming terminal turn active so that a predetermined number of the second light emitting portions light in the emission color thus determined, sequentially from the one closest to the gaming terminal, according to the number of the predetermined winnings the gaming terminal have achieved.

Abstract: Provided is an optical reaction measurement device that measures whether a reaction is occurring between a sample and a reagent, or how a reaction is progressing, on the basis of changes over time of optical properties of a liquid mixture of the sample and the reagent. The preparation time required for tasks such as mixing the sample and the reagent is predetermined, and when a start switch on the measurement device is turned to “on,” a timer starts running, and the time remaining until the preparation time begins is shown to an operator as a countdown. When the count reaches zero, the operator is informed that the preparation time has begun. The amount of time that has passed since the preparation time began is used as time data to accompany measurement data, and optical property data from after the end of the preparation time is used in analysis.
