An information processing device, a gaming machine and a game system can play a game on a rolling program in a gaming machine. The information processing device includes an information medium processing part for transmitting and receiving game value information that can be used in a game to and from a portable information medium, and an interface for transmitting and receiving information to and from the gaming machine. The information medium processing part reads out first game value information given on the condition of exchange for a monetary value, capable of being used to play the game, and limited in cash conversion from the information medium as the game value information, provides the first game value information to the game, and restricts writing the first game value information read out from the information medium into the information medium as second game value information that can be converted into cash.

The present invention provides a gaming machine that can maintain expectation in a game in which a prize is selectively granted to a player and continue the game. The gaming machine includes a display that displays a video reel having a plurality of symbols including a predetermined symbol and a plurality of cells, to each of which a prize is allocated and a controller that executes a base game in which a bet is necessary and the plurality of symbols are rearranged after scrolling of the video reel, when the predetermined symbol is rearranged in the base game, displays content of a prize of a cell in which the content of the prize is not displayed, when contents of prizes of all of the plurality of cells are displayed, selects one cell from the plurality of cells by lottery, and, when content of a prize allocated to the one cell is a transition to a bonus game more advantageous than the base game, transitions the base game to the bonus game.

A method and/or system to perform operations associated with a roulette game. The operations include detecting, by a processor, a position at which a token is placed upon a betting layout for a roulette game and accepting the token as a bet for the roulette game. The operations can further include determining, by the processor based on the position, a bet type for the bet. The operations can further include selecting, by the processor based on the bet type, a highlight effect from a plurality of different highlight effects. The operations can further include animating, by the processor, the highlight effect on one or more portions of a roulette wheel associated with one or more bet-upon values for the bet type.

An information processor includes: a display device which is able to display symbols including at least one first symbol and at least one second symbol and which is configured to display an area in which columns and stages are arranged; and a controller programmed to execute processes (1a) to (1c) as a unit game. The controller is programmed to execute: (1a) a process of randomly determining symbols; (1b) a process of displaying the determined symbols in the area; (1c) a process of awarding a payout; (1d) a process of fix-displaying the at least one second symbol in one or more the columns, the number of the one or more of the columns corresponding to the number of first symbols displayed in the area; and (1e) a process of performing next execution of the unit game by using the area in which the at least one second symbol is fix-displayed.

A method and/or system to perform operations associated with a roulette game. The operations include selecting, via a random number generator, a set of multiplier levels for a roulette game. The roulette game is associated with a plurality of terminals. The operations further include selecting one or more sets of random layout values from a betting layout for the roulette game, and pairing, based on multiplier-level type, each member of the set of multiplier levels with at least one of the one or more sets of random layout values. The operations further include animating, via one or more displays associated with the plurality of terminals, a highlight effect for each pair that occurs from the pairing of each member of the set of multiplier levels with the at least one of the one or more sets of random layout values.

The present invention provides an information processing device and a program that can lower a difficulty level of clearing a predetermined condition and improve a continuation rate of a player.

The information processing device is configured to execute a game in which symbol random determination for determining symbols to be rearranged is executed, and when an arrangement pattern of the determined symbols corresponds to one of a plurality of kinds of preset arrangement patterns, a payout corresponding to the arrangement pattern is awarded, and the information processing device includes a controller programmed to execute a) a process of executing random determination as to whether to rearrange the symbols in an arrangement pattern corresponding to a specific payout among the payout, and b) a process of rearranging the symbols in the arrangement pattern corresponding to the specific payout and awarding the specific payout within a predetermined period of time regardless of whether the symbol random determination is executed, when a random determination result in the process a) wins a prize.

A rotary card shuffling and selection machine for use in playing a game of chance includes a wheel supported in a generally vertical plane for rotation about a horizontal rotary axis. The wheel is provided with a plurality of card positions arranged concentrically about the rotary axis. Each card position receives a card bearing indicia suitable to decide the game of chance. The cards are secured in card positions disposed around the wheel such they are oriented face up so that indica on the face of the card, which is relevant to the outcome of the game of chance, can be seen while the wheel is rotating.
