In the case where a total value of the outcomes of the dice is the specific number, an additional payout is offered based on the number indicated by the stop-displayed special symbol on condition that the side BET has been placed.

Abstract: A slot machine executes a slot game in a following manner. First, the slot machine receives an external input, then rearranges symbols arranged in a display region, and awards a winning if a predetermined number of symbols of a predetermined type are displayed. In the rearrangement of the symbols, if the amount of bet received by the bet switch is minimum, a display is controlled so that a minimum number of columns within symbol display regions are displayed as targeted-symbol display regions being targeted for counting the number of symbols of a predetermined type. Accordingly, the slot machine can produce such an effect that a larger amount of bet will lead to a more advantageous award, and thus can attract players' interests concerning betting actions, thereby improving entertainment properties.

Abstract: In a gaming system, slot games are executed, respectively, in a plurality of slot machines. When a common game execution determination is made in a center controller, a common game is executed in each of the slot machines.
