Abstract: A gaming machine includes a bet rate setting device with which a value of game medium per unit bet is set as a bet rate, a setting sound output device outputting a setting sound when the bet rate is set by the bet rate setting device, and a setting sound control device controlling the setting sound, to be outputted from the setting sound output device, depending on the bet rate set by the bet rate setting device.

Abstract: Reproduction can be adjusted according to the degree of achromatopsia and the color distribution of an image, and color reproduction approximate to the vision of normal persons is provided to achromates. Different textures are added to respective regions (similar and hardly indistinguishable regions) which have different colors but conduce to similar result of light-reception by a light receiving device according to the differences of the original colors. The textures include a pattern of angle, hatching, or contrast each different according to the difference of the original color.

Abstract: When a player starts playing a game by operating a MAXBET button (e.g. when the bet count is 30 bets) and determined that the currently owned credit count is insufficient to the credit count required for the MAX bet, the current game rate set in a slot machine (the credit count per bet required for betting) is changed to a lower game rate.

Abstract: A gaming machine has a receiving unit which externally receives game rate data and setting unit which sets a game rate based on the game rate data received by the receiving unit. In the gaming machine, processing relating to a game is performed based on the game rate set by the setting unit.

Abstract: In a CPU 11 within a PC 10 as an information generating apparatus are provided, a seed information acquiring section that acquires as seed information, from an source file, at least one of a data string within said file and the file size, a code generating section that generates a code based on the seed information acquired using said seed information acquiring section, and a file name generating section that generates a file name including the code generated by said code generating section and assigns it to said source file.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes an operation controller, a processor, and a display. The operation controller accepts an operation of a player, and the processor controls a game based on the operation of the player accepted by the operation controller. The display simultaneously displays a first image that can be recognized visually from a first viewing angle direction and a second image that can be recognized visually from a second viewing angle direction different from the first viewing angle direction. The processor controls the display so as to display a game image relating to the game as the first image and to display game information based on a game process relating to the game controlled by the processor as the second image.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gaming machine which allows players to observe a gaming image which is displayed for one player without being influenced by a gaming image which is displayed for another player in perfoming a game in which a plurality of players can play, and to reduce an equipment cost and an installation space. A display device 2 which adopts dual view liquid crystal is mounted on an approximately center of the gaming machine 1, and a common screen showing a common gaming situation to both players is displayed for the first and the second players P1, P2 and, at the same time, corresponding to the gaming situation, a first image which shows a gaming situation on the first player P1 is displayed for the first player within an angle range of ?2 and, simultaneously, a second image which shows a gaming situation on the second player P2 is displayed for the second player within an angle range of ?2.

Abstract: Generation of a second chance game is determined (S41) when symbols in the column of variable display units 21 through 25 are in the prerequisite state in an activated payline. When the player selects any selectable symbol from the symbols in the plurality of prerequisite lines L1 and L2, the selected selectable symbol in the plurality of prerequisite lines L1 and L2 is detected, and the selectable symbol in the selected variable display unit 23 (‘two-BAR’ symbol in L1) is variably displayed again and then stopped and displayed, and a payout made if a win has occurred.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a game medium insertion section into which a plurality of kinds of game mediums is inserted, a game medium discrimination device discriminating a kind of game medium inserted into the game medium insertion section, an insertion sound output device outputting an insertion sound when the kind of game medium is discriminated by the game medium discrimination device, and an insertion sound control device controlling the insertion sound, to be outputted from the insertion sound output device, depending on the kind of game medium discriminated by the game medium discrimination device.

Abstract: There are a step of specifying a directory structure comprising a plurality of hierarchy levels and a step of finding out a specified directory structure from a memory medium loaded with data by a desired directory. This arrangement allows the file storing the image signal to be found out efficiently when an image signal is stored in the file of a directory structure having a predetermined name, even if countless directories have been created in a high-volume memory medium.

Abstract: There is described an image processing apparatus for displaying images. The apparatus includes an extracting section to extract related information, a grouping section to group the images into image groups, a display controlling section to control the display device so as to display the images for every image group, a sorting section to sort images included in each of the image groups, based on the related information, and an inputting section to input grouping information and/or sorting information. The display controlling section controls the display device so as to display the images, sorted by the sorting section, for every image group. Further, the inputting section inputs display-order changing information for changing a display-order of the images for every image group, and then, the display controlling section changes the display-order of the images for every image group to a new display-order based on the display-order changing information.
