A bonus providing element distinct from underlying game play enables individual player unique benefits to an underlying game winning outcome by the bonus providing element providing a linear indication of at least three individual random indicators including: a) an identification of a single one of at least two different player positions; b) at least one of an absolute amount or multiplier of a winning outcome payout; and c) at least one of a multiplier, prize or an absolute amount larger than or smaller than any absolute amount or multiplier in b).

When a winning outcome or triggering outcome by a first player position (any player position in a group of players) occurs in an underlying game, the bonus providing element is subsequently activated to randomly provide random outcomes for each of the at least three individual random indicators.

A coin for use in games of chance includes a first side connectable to a second side and forming a coin interior when the first side is connected to the second side. A ball held in place in the coin interior, which interior includes a plurality of ridges and valleys with sloped surfaces for biasing a ball toward a periphery, which may include pockets, of the coin when the coin is flipped or rolled. Each pocket may be next to a viewing window, allowing the ball within the pocket to be viewed from the exterior of the coin.

A lottery device includes: a drawing body having medium entrance units which are provided along a circumferential direction thereof, and into each of which a game medium can enter; a driving mechanism driving the drawing body in the circumferential direction; a dividing device dividing a periphery of a path of the medium entrance units, in which path the medium entrance units travel, into lottery segments in the circumferential direction; a medium introduction mechanism introducing the game medium individually into each lottery segment; an entrance unit detection device detecting a medium entrance unit into which the game medium has entered; a displacement amount detection device detecting an amount of displacement in the circumferential direction; and a lottery segment distinguishing device distinguishing from which of the lottery segments the game medium has entered into the medium entrance unit based on a result of detection by the displacement amount detection device.

A rotating apparatus for a game system having a light-emitting device includes a rotating member that rotates on a fixing member, light-irradiated areas that are partitioned and formed in a circumferential direction of the rotating member, light sources annularly arranged in the fixing member that irradiate the light-irradiated areas with light, a light-blocking body that is formed in the rotating member so as to prevent the light, with which a specific light-irradiated area as a light irradiation target out of the light-irradiated areas is irradiated, from leaking into other light-irradiated areas and adjacent to the specific light-irradiated area, and a control unit that controls a timing of changing light intensity of the light sources, and the control unit turning on and off the light sources in synchronization with the rotation of the specific light-irradiated area as the light irradiation target.

A roulette lottery apparatus includes a roulette body configured to revolve about a rotation center line tilted about the vertical direction, in which plural pockets are arranged in the circumferential direction, a guide rail that guides a ball to any of the plural pockets, a ball release device that injects the ball into the guide rail, and a control unit that controls a timing of injecting the ball. The timing of injecting the ball is controlled at an angle unit smaller than 2/N when N represents the total number of pockets. The object is to cause plural players to view the roulette lottery apparatus and to equalize probabilities that plural pockets win a game ball.

A roulette lottery apparatus with a novel configuration causes a player not to lose interest. The roulette lottery apparatus 1 for a roulette game comprises: plural roulette bodies that have plural ball pockets into which lottery balls enter, the plurality of roulette bodies being held so as to be rotatable about a horizontal or tilted rotation axis in a state where a rotation plane of the ball pockets is raisable, each of the plurality of the roulette bodies having different diameters; a drive source that rotationally drives the roulette bodies; and ball guide members that guide the balls to enter into any ball pocket among the ball pockets while causing the balls to be in pendular movement. The plural roulette bodies are arranged in a stepped state in which the roulette bodies are displaced in an axis direction on the rotation center line.
