Abstract: A gaming machine outputs, from an output unit, a message or a conversation sentence to inquire a language type to be used in a game in the forms of sounds and characters. A player inputs, into an input unit, a response message or a response sentence to designate the language type that the player wishes to use in a game. Thereafter, the gaming machine determines to use the language type designated in the response message as the language type in the game. Moreover, the gaming machine converts an amount of an award in the game from a standard currency into a currency corresponding to the designated language type, and outputs the converted amount from the output unit.

Abstract: In a gaming system, a player's language is specified at each gaming terminal and then a game can be played with a conversation in the player's language. Therefore, a player can play a game with ease in his/her own language. In addition, in case where a preset time has come and there is a message to be notified to the player, the message is sent to each gaming terminal. Then the message is translated into the player's language to be sound-output or screen-displayed at each gaming terminal. Therefore, the massage can be made recognized by the player with ease. In addition, since the message is notified at the preset time, the current time can be made recognized by the player.

Abstract: A message display area 85 of a sub monitor 111 provided in each station 101 displays contents uttered by each player through a microphone 116 provided in each station 101 in an output language of the station 101 in question. The contents displayed on the message display area 85 are outputted as speech from a speaker 117. The speech outputted from speaker 117 is outputted in the output language of the station 101 in question, as well. If the output language differs from the language used by the player when the player makes an utterance through the microphone 116 of the station 101, the setting of the output language is changed to the language used by the player. The setting of the output language is changed by using a language selecting button 88 displayed on the sub monitor 111. The player can specify one or all stations 101. The specified station 101 outputs contents uttered by the player.
