Abstract:
1. A dice gaming machine comprising: a dice box in which a plurality of dice are rolled and stopped; a plurality of terminals each having a betting board having a plurality of bet areas each associated with a winning condition based on spots on the plurality of dice stopped and with a predetermined payout magnification ratio and a plurality of intermediate areas, the plurality of terminals each accepting an input by a player, wherein each of the plurality of intermediate areas is arranged between or among plural adjacent bet areas, and each of the plurality of bet areas is enclosed with a border, and each intermediate area is distinguished by borders of the plural adjacent bet areas; and a processor executing processes of: wherein the processor sets the payout magnification ratio for the winning intermediate area so that an expected value (A) of the winning intermediate area always lies between a maximum value and a minimum value and the maximum value and the minimum value respectively correspond to an expected value (B) directed to an adjacent bet area (x) and an expected value (C) directed to an adjacent bet area (y), the adjacent bet area (x) and the adjacent bet area (y) being adjacent to the winning intermediate area, when the expected value (B) is higher than the expected value (C), and wherein the expected value (A) is a value obtained by multiplying a winning probability of the winning intermediate area, a payout magnification ratio set for the winning intermediate area and a unit of gaming value, the expected value (B) is a value obtained by multiplying a winning probability of the adjacent bet area (x), a payout magnification ratio set for the adjacent bet area (x) and the unit of gaming value, and the expected value (C) is a value obtained by multiplying a winning probability of the adjacent bet area (y), a payout magnification ratio set for the adjacent bet area (y) and the unit of gaming value.
