AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a gaming machine and system that can communicate with another gaming machine to play a game that multiple players can participate in. The gaming machine can switch between a first game and a second game, allowing players to switch between them and still have access to information about both games. This allows players to enjoy both games more fully and increases the overall experience of the gaming system.

Problems solved by technology

That is to say, in this case, players cannot solely help spending a tedious time for waiting a lapse of the participation acceptance time.

Further, based on that a number of players who can participate in the game done in the other gaming machine is limited, there may be a case that the player cannot participate in the game in spite that the player moves to the other place to participate in the game conducted in the other gaming machine.

And although advantage / disadvantage in the multi-players joining game is changed (for example, payout is changed) according to a game result in the game for one player, a time that the player can conduct the game for one player is limited to the participation acceptance time.

That is, the game for one player is set to an additional game of the multi-players joining game and is a game to spend a tedious time during the participation acceptance time.

Therefore, for the player wanting to also enjoy the game for one player, since the game for one player terminates according to termination of the participation acceptance time, the player cannot sufficiently enjoy the game for one player.

Namely, in the gaming machine of the multi-players joining game, although the player can enjoy both the multi-players joining game and the game for one player, the player cannot sufficiently enjoy the game for one player.

Therefore, for example, in a case that the player conducts operation of the slot machine while sitting on a seat, the player cannot participate in the multi-players joining game if the player does not conduct operation of the multi-players joining game while standing.

As mentioned, in the above gaming system, there exists a problem that any one of the game for one player and the multi-players joining game becomes hard to operate.

However, if one of the games is conducted, game contents of the other game are not displayed on the display screen of the display device.

Thus, the player cannot sufficiently enjoy both the game for one player and the multi-players joining game.
