AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a gaming system or gaming machine that allows a player to play a second game without leaving the first game. This is achieved by connecting a first gaming machine with a second gaming machine, where the first gaming machine controls the first game and the second gaming machine controls the second game. The first gaming machine receives image data of the second game from the second gaming machine and displays an image based on the image data on its own display. The player can then operate the game with the first gaming machine using the image data. This allows more players to participate in the second game without moving to another gaming machine and promotes high efficiency of the gaming place as a whole.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, a player may get tired of playing only the slot machine continuously, for example, and may feel like playing another kind of game.

However, it is troublesome for the player to leave the slot machine and to participate in a game of different content with another gaming machine, which is installed another place.

It is, therefore, difficult to keep the player playing the slot machine without being tired of it.

However, the gaming machine fails to satisfy the desire of the player to play another kind of game of different contents.

As a result, the gaming machine may also make the player tired of it.

Therefore, the player of the slot machine may be unable to participate in such games as the horse racing, roulette, and keno game, even if the player quits playing the slot game.

Thus, the player may not easily participate in such games of different contents.
