Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-096672, filed on Apr. 2, 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a playing method and a gaming machine for a card game in which bets are made by using one set or plural sets of cards. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Conventionally, there are various known card games in which bets are made by using one set or plural sets of cards. For example, in one such example called baccarat game, a participant of a card game makes a bet by guessing which one of a “Banker” and a “Player” will win (or they will tie). 
     Consequently, there is only one bet that can be made by a participant during one play of the card game, so that a density of a card game that can be enjoyed by a participant has been low despite of a time required for a card game. Such a situation is not limited to the baccarat game and commonly exists for a black jack and other card games as well. 
     On the other hand, in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,789,801B2, during the baccarat game, while carrying out a first game in which a participant makes a bet on any one of a Banker&#39;s win, a Player&#39;s win and a tie, a side bet in which a bet is made by guessing how much difference by which a Banker or a Player will win over an opponent is also carried out. 
     However, in the card game described in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,789,801B2, only one type of game (the baccarat game) is effectively carried out, so that there is no diversity in games.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     First Embodiment 
     In the following, the characteristic portions of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with references to  FIG. 1  to  FIG. 7 . Among these figures,  FIG. 1  is a flow chart showing an outline of a playing method of card games according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 4  to  FIG. 7  are plan views of a table on which card games according to the first embodiment of the present invention are to be executed. 
     In the card games according to this embodiment, there are provided a plurality of cards in which cards for which a color of a face showing a suit and a rank is a first color (white, for example) and cards for which that color is a second color (a particular color such as gold, for example) are mixed, and a prescribed number (four, for example) of cards randomly selected from them will be dealt for a first card game (a baccarat game in this embodiment). 
     In a case where a card for which the color of the face showing the suit and the rank is the second color (particular color) appears among these dealt cards, a prize (payouts, awards) of a second game is generated. Namely, in the second card game, a target of betting is whether a card in the particular color appears among cards dealt in the first card game or not, and a prize is generated for those participants who made bets in that second card game when a card in the particular color appeared. In this way, the second card game is executed along with the first card game. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , in the card games according to this embodiment, at the step S 1 , bets of the participants for the first game are accepted, and further at the step S 2 , bets of the participants for the second game are accepted. 
     Then, at the step S 3 , the cards for the first card game are dealt, and then at the step S 4 , whether a card in the second color (a gold card, for example) has appeared among the cards dealt at the step S 3  described above or not is judged. In a case where the card in the second color has not appeared, a transition from the step S 4  to the step S 5  is made, and payouts (awards) of the first game are determined and these payouts (awards) are provided to the participants, and then the card games are finished. 
     In contrast, in a case where a card in the second color has appeared at the step S 3 , this implies that prizes regarding the second card game will be generated for those participants who made bets in the second card game. In this case, in the procedure of this card game, a transition from the step S 4  to the step S 6  is made, and payouts of the first card game are determined and these payouts are provided to the participants, and then at the step S 7 , a supplementary card game (a third card game) for determining sizes of the prizes is executed for those participants who are targets of the generation of the prizes regarding the second card game. 
     Then, at the step S 8 , the prizes (payouts or awards) of the sizes determined by the supplementary card game are provided to those participants how are targets of the generation (those participants who made bets in the second game) as the payouts of the second card game. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , on an upper face of a table  10  on which the card games will proceed, a first area  11  and a second area  12  are provided. The first area  11  is an area in which cards for a Banker who is a target of bets by the participants will be dealt, and the second area  12  is an area in which cards of a Player who is a target of bets by the participants will be dealt. 
     In the baccarat game which is the first card game, two cards are dealt in each of the first area  11  and the second area  12  (there are cases where a third card is also dealt according to need), and a Banker&#39;s win, a Player&#39;s win, or a tie is determined according to contents of these two cards. These series of game proceedings are handled by a dealer. 
     Also, on an upper face of the table  10 , spaces  21 ,  22  and  23  for the participants of the baccarat game to bet chips for that baccarat game are provided. The space  21  is a space for betting on the Banker&#39;s win, the space  22  is a space for betting on the Player&#39;s win, and the space  23  is a space for betting on the tie. Note that, in the case of this embodiment, each of the space  21  for betting on the Banker&#39;s win, the space  22  for betting on the Player&#39;s win, and the space  23  for betting on the tie is provided in seven sets, so that the up to seven participants can participate at one table  10 . On the table  10 , numbers ( 1  to  7 ) to be assigned to the participants are attached. 
     The participants can make bets on any one of the Banker&#39;s win, the Player&#39;s win and the tie by betting chips in the space for making bets for the first card game, before the cards are dealt in the first area  11  and the second area  12 . 
     Also, on the table  10 , a space  24  (which will be referred to as a side bet space in the following) for making bets for the second game (which will be referred to as side bets in the following) is provided, besides the spaces  21 ,  22  and  23  for making bets for the first card game (baccarat game). This space  24  is also provided in a number of sets corresponding to the number of participants, similarly as the other spaces  21 ,  22  and  23 . The participants can optionally make bets for the second card game, at a time of making bets for the first card game (baccarat game). This space  24  is also used as a space in which cards for the supplementary card game (a card game associated with the second card game) for determining sizes of prizes for those participants who made bets for the second card game, in a case where the generation of prizes in the second card game is determined. 
     Also, on the table  10 , a chip tray  31  or the like for accumulating chips is provided. In this chip tray  31 , a prescribed number of chips are provided by the dealer before the start of the games, and in a case where a payout is to be given to a participant, the payout will be given from the chips provided in this chip tray  31 , and in a case where a participant has lost a bet, the bet chips will be collected to the chip tray  31 . 
     Next, the content of the baccarat game which is the first card game will be described in detail. In the baccarat game, the participant bets chips on any one of the Banker&#39;s win (BANKER), the Player&#39;s win (PLAYER) and the tie (TIE). 
     Then, the dealer deals two cards each in an order of the Player and the Banker. At a timing when the two cards each are dealt, if the lower one digit of a total of the English numerals (ranks) given on the two cards is 9 or 8 for either one of the Banker or the Player, that side will win. Note that, at a time of calculating a total of two cards, it is calculated by regarding Ace (A) as 1, each of 2 to 10 as the same number as the number on that card, and each of picture cards (Jack (J), Queen (Q) and King (K)) as 10. 
     Also, in a case where there is no win or lose at a time when two cards each are dealt to the Banker and the Player, whether it should draw (hit) a third card or it should stand (not draw) is determined according to a respective prescribed rule, for each of the Player and the Banker. This rule is different for the Player and the Banker. 
     Namely, as a rule on the Player side, a third card will be dealt to the Player if a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Player is any one of 0 to 5, unless the Banker is natural (that is, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt is either 8 or 9). 
     Also, a third card will not be dealt to the Player if a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Player is either 6 or 7. 
     In addition, if the Player is natural, a third card will not be dealt to both the Player and the Banker. 
     On the other hand, as a rule on the Banker side, a third card will be dealt to the Banker if a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is any one of 0, 1 and 2, unless the Player is natural. 
     Also, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is 3, a third card will not be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is 8, and a third card will be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is anything other than 8. 
     Also, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is 4, a third card will not be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is anything other than 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and a third card will be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is any one of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. 
     Also, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is 5, a third card will not be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is anything other than 4, 5, 6 and 7, and a third card will be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is any one of 4, 5, 6 and 7. 
     Also, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is 6, a third card will not be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is anything other than 6 and 7, and a third card will be dealt to the Banker if a third card of the Player is either one of 6 and 7. 
     Also, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is 7, a third card will not be dealt to the Banker. 
     Also, when a lower one digit of a total of the two cards first dealt to the Banker is 8 or 9 (natural), a third card will not be dealt to both the Banker and the Player. 
     The game will be made to proceed by the dealer according to such rules, and when the game is over, a result of any one of the Banker&#39;s win, the Player&#39;s win and the tie is judged. In this judgment, a total of numbers on the cards dealt to the Banker and a total of numbers on the cards dealt to the Player are calculated, and one with its lower one digit closer to 9 will win. If the lower one digits are the same, it will be tie. Then, payouts according to this result of win or lose are calculated, and chips in numbers according to the payouts will be paid to those participants who obtained the payouts. In this case, the same amount as the bet will be paid as the payout for the bet on the Banker, and an amount eight times as much as that will be paid as the payout for the bet on the tie. 
     Next, the content of the second card game will be described in detail. In the second card game, the participants of the first card game (baccarat game) can participate in the second card game by placing (betting) chips on the space  24  for making the side bet. 
     In the second card game, the generation of a prize will be determined for those participants who made bets (side bets) in the second card game, in a case where there is a card (gold card) for which a color of a face showing a suit and a rank is the second color (a particular color such as gold, for example) among a plurality of cards dealt in the first area  11  and the second area  12  for the first card game. 
     Then, the supplementary card game for determining sizes of the prizes for those participants who become targets of the generation of the prizes of the second card game (those participants who made the side bets) will be executed. Namely, this supplementary card game is a card game associated with the second card game, in which one card for the supplementary card game is dealt in each space  24  for making the side bet of the each participant who made the bet in the second card game, and the size of the prize of that participant is determined according to the rank of that card. In the case of this embodiment, such a rule that the larger prizes will be generated in an ascending order of the ranks is adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this case, and it is possible to use various methods as the method for determining the size of the prize, such as on in which the largest prize will be allocated when a particular rank (such as Ace) has appeared, etc. It is also possible to determine the size of the prize according to a type of the suit or a combination of both the suit and the rank, without being limited to the method using the rank of the card. 
     When the size of the prize regarding the second card game is determined by the supplementary card game, the payout according to that size will be paid to the corresponding participant. Note that, in a case where the prize regarding the second card game is not generated (a case where a card in the second color (gold card) did not appear in the first card game), the chips bet as the side bet will be collected to the chip tray  31  on the dealer side. The chips to be used for the payouts of the second card game are chips provided in the chip tray  31  similarly as the chips of the first card game. In this way, in the case of this embodiment, the chips to be paid to the participants as the payouts in the second card game and the chips collected from the participants are collectively managed with the chips of the first card game, in the same chip tray  31  as the chips used in the first card game (baccarat game). 
     Note that the management of the chips in the second card game may be carried out separately from the chips of the first card game. In this case, the chip tray  31  will be used as that for the first card game, while a chip tray different from that is provided for the second card game, and the chips for the second card game will be managed in that chip tray, separately from the chips for the first card game. Namely, the chips to be paid to the participants in the second card game are chips provided in the chip tray for the second card game, and the chips collected from those participants who lost the bets in the second card game will be returned to that chip tray for the second card game. 
     Next, with references to the flow chart shown in  FIG. 3  and the states of the table  10  shown in  FIG. 4  to  FIG. 7 , a detail of the playing method of card games according to this embodiment will be described.  FIG. 3  is a flow chart showing a procedure of the card games to be made to proceed by the dealer. 
     After the dealer shuffled one set or plural sets of trump cards (step S 11 ), the bets for the first card game (baccarat game) are accepted (step S 12 ). In the cards to be shuffled at the step S 11 , the cards for which a color of a face showing the suit and the rank is the first color (white), and the cards for which that color is the second color (a particular color, which is gold in the case of this embodiment) (which will be referred to as gold cards in the following) are mixed. 
     At the step S 12 , the participants bet chips on any one of the Banker&#39;s win, the Player&#39;s win, and the tie, by placing chips on any one of the spaces  21 ,  22  and  23  for betting regarding the first card game that are provided on the table  10 . 
       FIG. 4  shows a state in which the first participant bets two chips  20  on the Banker&#39;s win, the second participant bets one chip  20  on the Player&#39;s win, the third participant bets one chip  20  on the tie, the fourth participant bets one chip  20  on the Banker&#39;s win, the fifth participant bets three chips  20  on the Player&#39;s win, the sixth participant bets two chips  20  on the tie, and the seventh participant bets three chips  20  on the Banker&#39;s win. 
     In addition, the bets for the second card game are accepted (step S 13 ). Namely, the participant can participate in the second card game by placing chips in the space  24  for the side bet that is provided on the table  10  (by making the side bet). The side bet is optionally made by the participant. 
       FIG. 5  shows a state in which the first participant made the side bet by placing one chip  20  in the space  24  for the side bet, the second participant made the side bet by placing two chips  20  in the space  24  for the side bet, and the fourth participant made the side bet by placing one chip in the space  24  for the side bet, from the state shown in  FIG. 4 . In this case, the third, fifth, sixth and seventh participants did not make the side bets by not placing any chips in their own spaces  24  for the side bet. 
     When the bets for the first card game and the bets for the second card game are made, the cards for the first game are dealt by the dealer. Namely, as shown in  FIG. 6 , two cards C 1  and C 2  and two cards C 3  and C 4  are dealt in the first area  11  and the second area  12  respectively, in the state of being laid face down (step S 14 ). 
     Then, the cards for the first game dealt in the first area  11  and the second area  12  are opened by the dealer (step S 15 ). Note that, as described above, in the baccarat game, there are cases where a third card is also dealt to at least one of the Banker and the Player, according to contents of the two cards first dealt to each of the Banker and the Player. In this case, whether an additional card is necessary or not is determined according to the rules of the baccarat game (step S 16 ), and if it is necessary, an additional card is dealt (step S 17 ). 
     In the state where the cards dealt in the first area  11  and the second area  12  are opened in this way, whether the gold card has appeared among them or not is judged (step S 18 ). In a case where the gold card has not appeared, the win or lose (or the tie) among the Banker and the Player in the first card game (baccarat game) is judged according to the four cards opened in the first area  11  and the second area  12  (if the additional card is dealt according to the game rules of the first card game (baccarat game), that additional card is also included) (step S 19 ), and the payouts of the first card game are determined according to a result of that judgment (step S 20 ). Then, the determined payouts are paid to the corresponding participants (i.e. the first bets are settled) (step S 21 ). 
     In contrast, in a case where the gold card is included among the cards for the first card game that are opened in the first area  11  and the second area  12 , this implies that the generation of the prizes for those participants who made bets in the second card game will be determined, so that after the processing (the processing regarding the first card game) for the judgment of the win or lose (or the tie) of the first card game (step S 22 ), the determination of the payouts of the first card game (step S 23 ), and the payment of the payouts of the first card game (step S 24 ) are carried out, the supplementary card game (a card game associated with the second card game) for determining sizes of the prizes regarding the second card game is executed. 
     Namely, as shown in  FIG. 7 , one card for the supplementary card game is dealt to each of the participants who made the bet (side bet) in the second card game in a state of being opened (step S 25 ). For example, as shown in  FIG. 7 , the card is dealt in the spaces in which chips are placed among the spaces  24  for the side bet. In the case of  FIG. 7 , because the first participant, the second participant and the fourth participant made the side bets, so that the cards C 5 A, C 5 B and C 5 C are dealt respectively in the spaces corresponding to these participants, one card for each space. 
     Then, the order of the cards C 5 A, C 5 B and C 5 C for the supplementary card game is judged (step S 26 ). In this case, for example, the order is determined as a descending order of the ranks of the cards dealt for the supplementary card game. Note that the method for determining is not limited to the descending order of the ranks, and it may be determined by combining a type of the suit, etc. 
     When the order of the supplementary card game is determined, the payouts regarding the second card game for those participants who made the side bets are determined according to that order (step S 27 ). As a method for determining the payouts, there is a method in which rates for bet chips are determined in advance according to the order, for example. In this case, for example, a payout of three times chips bet by the participant is determined for the participant who became the first place in the supplementary card game, a payout of two times chips bet by the participant is determined for the participant who became the second place, and a payout of one times chips bet by the participant is determined for the participants who became the third or lower places. Note that these payouts are to be paid to the participants in addition to the bet chips. 
     Then, the payouts regarding the second card game determined at the step S 27  are paid to the corresponding participants (step S 28 ). 
     As a method for determining the payouts at the step S 27 , it is possible to adopt other methods such as that in which the payout rate (a rate for bet chips) is changed according to the number of the participants who made bets for the second card game, for example, without being limited to the method described above. 
     In the above description, the size of the prize is determined according to a result of the supplementary card game in a case where the generation of the prize is determined in the second card game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be made such that a payout determined in advance is paid to the corresponding participants in a case where it is judged that the gold card has appeared at the step S 18 , without carrying out the supplementary card game of the step S 25  and the step S 26 . 
     As described above, in the baccarat game which is the first card game, at least two cards for the Banker are dealt in the first area  11  which is a common field for a plurality of participants, and at least two cards for the Player are dealt in the second area  12  which is a common field for a plurality of participants, and in a case where a card for which a color of a front face of a card is a particular color (gold, for example) is included among these cards, a generation of a prize in the second card game is determined. By this determination, the participants who made bets in the second card game can obtain rights for acquiring prizes. Then, the supplementary card game for determining sizes of these prizes is executed, and the payouts for the participants are determined. 
     For this reason, every time the first card game is carried out once, a participant can make a second bet for the second card game as an option, along with a first bet for the first card game, and in the second card game, a prize of the second card game is generated according to a color of a face of a card disclosed in the first card game. In this way, it becomes possible for a participant to make a plurality of bets for mutually different first and second card games during one play of the card game. 
     Also, as the generation of the prize of the second card game is determined in a case where a color of a face of a card for the first card game is a particular color, when the first card game is executed, the second card game will be executed in conjunction with this. In this way, at a time of executing the second card game of a type different from the first card game, a procedure for the first card game that deals cards can also be utilized as a game procedure of the second card game, and an opportunity to participate in the second card game is given to the participant without changing the procedure of one play of the card game. Hence, it is possible to give an opportunity to make a plurality of bets for a plurality of card games easily, to the participant. 
     Also, as the generation of the prize of the second card game is determined in a case where a color of a face of a card for the first card game is a particular color, the generation of the prize of the second card game can be conveyed to the participant in an easily comprehensible state, while executing the first card game.

The liquid crystal driving circuit  135  has a program ROM, an image ROM, an image control CPU, a work RAM, a VDP (video display processor), and a video RAM. In the program ROM, an image control program and various types of selection tables related to displays at the terminal display  123  are stored. In the image ROM, dot data for forming images to be displayed at the terminal display  123  are stored, for example. The image control CPU makes a determination of an image to be display on the terminal display  123  from the dot data stored in advance in the image ROM, according to the image control program stored in advance in the program ROM, based on parameters set by the CPU  131 . The work RAM is formed as a temporary memory device at a time of executing the image control program at the image control CPU. The VDP forms an image according to a display content determined by the image control CPU, and outputs it to the terminal display  123 . The video RAM is formed as a temporary memory device at a time of forming an image at the VDP. 
     On a front face of the terminal display  123 , the touch panel  124  is provided, and an operation result of this touch panel  124  is transmitted to the CPU  131 . The CPU  131  accepts the bets for the first card game and the supplementary card game individually, according to the operation result of the touch panel  124 . When there is a bet input, the CPU  131  transmits that input result (the bet information) to the controller  150 . The CPU  151  of the controller  150  stores this bet information into the RAM  153 . A processing for accepting bets will be described below. 
     To the CPU  131 , the speaker  128  is connected through an audio output circuit  129 , and the speaker  128  generates various types of effect sounds according to signals from the audio output circuit  129 . 
     To the CPU  131 , the chip sensor  127  is connected. The chip sensor  127  detects chips inserted from the chip insertion slot ( FIG. 8 ), and outputs this detection result to the CPU  131 . The CPU  131  counts the number of inserted chips according to the detection result outputted from the chip sensor  127 , and transmits that count result to the controller  140  ( FIG. 8 ). The CPU  151  of the controller  150  increases the credit amount possessed by the gaming terminal  120  that is stored in the RAM  153 , according to the count result transmitted from the gaming terminal  120 . 
     Next, images to be displayed on the common display  101  and each terminal display  123  will be described. 
       FIG. 13  shows a display screen  102  of the common display  101 , and on this display screen  102 , the bet information indicating the content bet at each gaming terminal  120  is displayed by the CPU  151 , and the first card game, the second card game and the supplementary card game executed by the CPU  151  are displayed. 
     In  FIG. 13 , on the display screen  102  of the common display  101 , a first window  103  for displaying a proceeding state of the first card game, a proceeding state of the second card game, and a proceeding state of the supplementary card game, and a second window  104  for displaying contents bet at each gaming terminal  120  are provided. In the first window  103 , a first display area  103 A for displaying cards dealt to the Banker in the first card game (baccarat game), a second display area  103 B for displaying cards dealt to the Player, and a third display area  103 C for displaying cards dealt for the supplementary card game are provided. The third display area  103 C is provided in plurality, one for each gaming terminal  120 , according to the fact that a card will be allocated to each of the gaming terminals for which the generation of the prize is determined by the second card game among a plurality of the gaming terminals  120 . The second card game will proceed according to the first display area  103 A in which cards for the first card game are displayed and a color of an image of a card front face displayed in the second display area  103 B. 
     The first display area  103 A and the second display area  103 B constitute a first display on which the cards for the first card game (baccarat game) are disclosed (the first card game is displayed) and the second card game is displayed, and the third display area  103 C constitutes a second display on which cards for the supplementary card game (third card game) associated with the second card game are disclosed (the supplementary card game is displayed). In this embodiment, the case in which the first display area  103 A, the second display area  103 B and the third display area  103 C (the first display and the second display) are formed on the same common display  101  will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first display including the first display area  103 A and the second display area  103 B, and the second display including the third display area  103 C, may be formed separately. 
     In the second window  104 , a first area  104 A for displaying contents bet on the Banker&#39;s win, a second area  104 B for displaying contents bet on the Player&#39;s win, a third area  104 C for displaying contents bet on the tie, and a fourth area  104 D for displaying contents bet for the second card game are provided. These first to fourth area  104 A to  140 D are provided in plurality in correspondence to a plurality of the gaming terminals  120 . In the case of this embodiment, seven of the first to fourth areas  104 A to  104 D are provided according to the fact that seven of the gaming terminals  120  are provided. 
       FIG. 14  shows a display screen of each terminal display  123 , on which a first bet region  123 A for betting on the Banker&#39;s win, a second bet region  123 B for betting on the Player&#39;s win, a third bet region  123 C for betting on the tie, and a fourth bet region  123 D for betting in the second card game are provided, for each one play of the first card game. 
     On the display screen of the terminal display  123 , chip buttons  123 E to  123 H are provided. These chip buttons  123 E to  123 H are images of buttons for betting chips (any of 1, 5, 10 or 100 chips) in bet regions (the first to fourth bet regions) specified by the participant. In correspondence to types (sizes of an amount) of chips, the chip buttons  123 E to  123 H comprise four types of a 1 chip button  123 E, a 5 chip button  123 F, a 10 chip button  123 G, and a 100 chip button  123 H. 
     The CPU  131  of the gaming terminal  120  executes a betting acceptance processing according to a position at which a pressing operation is carried out, in response to a pressing operation of the touch panel  124  provided on a surface of the display screen of the terminal display  123 . 
     Namely, the participant first specifies a region in which a bet is to be made, by carrying out a pressing operation of the touch panel  124  on a surface of the bet region to be bet (any of the first bet region  123 A, the second bet region  123 B, the third bet region  123 C and the fourth bet region  123 D), on the displayed screen. The CPU  131  of the gaming terminal  120  judges a specified region according to an operation result of this touch panel  124 , and changes a display mode of that specified region. As examples of this change of the display mode, it is possible to adopt a manner for changing a background color of the specified region, a manner for changing a color of a frame of the specified region, a manner for changing a brightness of a background of the specified region, a manner for flashing a frame of the specified region, etc., for example. 
     Then, after that, specified chips are bet in the specified region as the participant carries out a pressing operation of the touch panel  124  on a surface of any of the chip buttons  123 E to  123 H. When there is a bet of a plurality of chips in the region specified for betting, the CPU  131  accepts this. In this way, as the participant specifies a region for betting and then carries out a pressing operation of the chip buttons for a plurality of times, chips in a number corresponding to that number of times will be bet. Also, in this case, by carrying out a pressing operation of a plurality of types of chip buttons (the 1 chip button  123 E, the 5 chip button  123 F, the 10 chip button  123 G and the 100 chip button  123 H) without limiting the bet buttons to be pressed to the identical button, chips of types corresponding to the pressed buttons will be bet in the specified region. For example, as shown in  FIG. 15 , by specifying the first region  123 A for betting on the Banker&#39;s win, a frame of this first region  123 A is flashed, and in this state, by pressing the 1 chip button  123 E twice and the 10 chip button  123 G once, two images indicating 1 chip and one image indicating 10 chips will be displayed in the first region  123 A. 
     On the display screen of the terminal display  123 , a credit amount display region  123 J is provided. In this credit amount display region  123 J, the credit amount possessed by the current participant is displayed. This credit amount is stored in the credit amount memory area  153 D of the RAM  153  of the controller  150  in correspondence to each gaming terminal  120 . When there is a change in the credit amount, the CPU  151  of the controller  150  updates the credit amount of the RAM  153  and transmits that update result to that gaming terminal  120  along with an identifier of the corresponding gaming terminal. The credit amount is subtracted when the participant bets chips, and added when there is a payout according to the game result. 
     At the gaming terminal  120 , when the credit amount is transmitted from the controller  150 , the credit amount stored in the credit amount memory area  133 B of the RAM  133  is updated, and the updated credit amount is displayed in the credit amount display region  123 J. 
     In this way, the credit amount displayed in the credit amount display region  123 J is updated in real time, when there is a bet input, or when there is a payout according to the game result, etc. 
     On the display screen of the terminal display  123 , a total bet amount display region  123 K is provided. The CPU  131  counts a total number of chips bet in the bet regions  123 A to  123 D, for each one play of the first card game and the second card game, adds that count result to the accumulated value in an accumulated bet information memory area  133 H of the RAM  133 , and updates the information of the accumulated bet information memory area  133 H by setting that addition result as a new accumulated value. Then, the CPU  131  displays this accumulated value in the total bet amount display region  123 K. 
     On the display screen of the terminal display  123 , a last game display region  123 L is provided. The CPU  131  stores a total bet amount into the RAM  133  for each one play of the first card game and the second card game, and received information indicating sizes (acquired number of chips) of prizes generated according to a result of this game from the controller  150  and stores it into the RAM  133 . Then, these information are displayed in the last game display region  123 L. The information to be displayed in the last game display region  123 L include a bet amount (BET) in the last play of the first card game (MAIN), a payout amount (WIN) acquired in the last play of the first card game (MAIN), a bet amount (BET) in the last play of the supplementary card game (SIDE) and a payout amount (WIN) acquired in the last play of the second card game (SIDE). A display of the bet amounts of the last play of the first card game and the second card game is started when the total bet amount is confirmed by the operation of the bet confirmation button  135 A ( FIG. 11 ), and a display of the information indicating sizes of prizes is started when one play of the first card game and the second card game is finished and the information indicating sizes of prizes is transmitted from the controller  150  to the gaming terminal  120 . These displays are continued until the betting for a next game is started. 
     On the display screen of the terminal display  123 , a total payout amount display region  123 M is provided. When information (payout information) indicating sizes of prizes generated in the first card game and the second card game are received from the controller  150  for each play, the CPU  131  stores this payout information into the payout information memory area  133 D ( FIG. 12 ) of the RAM  133 , for each play of the first card game and the second card game, calculates a total of the payout results of the first card game and the second card game, accumulates that total value for each play as the number of plays of the game increases, and stores this accumulated value into the payout accumulated value memory area  133 E ( FIG. 12 ) of the RAM  133 . The CPU  131  reads out this accumulated value from the RAM  133 , and displays it in the total payout amount display region  123 M. The CPU  131  continues the calculation of this accumulated value and its storing into the RAM  133  until the total payout amount display region  123 M is pressed. When the total payout amount display region  123 M is pressed, the CPU  131  resets (rewrites to “0”) the accumulated value of the payout amount regarding the first card game and the supplementary card game stored in the payout accumulated value memory area  133 E of the RAM  133 , and carries out an accumulation starting from a result of a next game. In this way, the accumulated value of the sizes (payout amounts) of the prizes obtained in the games after the resetting is displayed in the total payout amount display region  123 M. 
     By the display of the total payout amount display region  123 M, the participants can check the accumulated result of the payouts obtained by the first card game and the second card game. It may be made such that the accumulated results of the payouts for the first card game and the second card game are displayed separately in the total payout amount display region  123 M. In this case, it suffices to store the payout accumulated value of the first card game and the payout accumulated value of the second card game separately, in the payout accumulated value memory area  133 E of the RAM  133 . 
     Thus, on the display screen of the terminal display  123 , the image for operations by which the participant makes bets, the game result, and the payout result, regarding the first card game and the second card game, are displayed. 
     As a result, the participants can make bets for the first card game and the second card game and learn the results of the respective games, through this display screen. 
     Here, on the display screen of the terminal display  123 , a bet time display region  123 I is displayed. In this bet time display region  123 I, a remaining time during which the participants can make bets is displayed. The CPU  131  displays a bet time ( 20  seconds in the case of this embodiment) set in advance in the bet time display region  123 I, at a timing when the first card game and the second card game are finished. Then, along with this display, the CPU  131  activates an internal timer and subtracts the number displayed as the bet time one by one, according to its count result. In this way, the bet time displayed in the bet time display region  123 I is decreased according to the remaining time during which the betting is possible. The CPU  131  finishes accepting the bets at a timing when this bet time becomes “0”. The CPU  131  changes the display of the bet time display region  123 IO from blue to yellow at a timing when the remaining time of the bet time becomes 10 seconds, and changes it from yellow to red at a timing when the remaining time becomes 5 seconds. In this way, the remaining time of the bet time becomes more easily comprehensible. Note that, instead of changing a color of the display according to the remaining time, it may be made such that the bet time display region  123 I is flashed, and a period of this flashing is made shorter as the remaining time becomes less, for example. 
     Thus, at a timing when the first card game and the second card game are finished and the acceptance of the betting operation is started, “20” is displayed in the bet time display region  123 I, this number is decreased by one in each one second, and the acceptance of the betting operation is finished when this number becomes “0”. 
     Note that, when the bet time becomes 5 seconds remaining, the CPU  131  outputs a speech that is an advance notice of a start of the game from the speaker  128 . Then, when the remaining of the bet time becomes “0”, CPU  131  notifies the fact that the acceptance of bets is finished, to the CPU  151  of the controller  150 . As a result, the CPU  151  starts the first card game and the second card game. 
     Next, a series of operations from a betting acceptance processing at the gaming terminal  120  up to an execution of the game at the gaming machine  100  will be described,  FIG. 16  is a flow chart showing a series of processings from the acceptance of bets at the gaming terminal  120  up to a processing for paying the payout according to the game result. 
     As shown in  FIG. 16 , at the step S 31 , the CPU  131  of the gaming terminal  120  judges whether there is an insertion of chips or not, according to the detection result of the chip sensor  127 . When the negative result is obtained at this step S 31 , this implies that chips are not inserted, so that the CPU  131  makes a transition to the step S 34  to be described below. In contrast, when the affirmative result is obtained at the step S 31 , this implies that chips are inserted from the chip insertion slot  121 , so that the CPU  131  makes a transition from the step S 31  to the step S 32 . 
     At the step S 32 , the CPU  131  adds the number of inserted chips to the credit amount stored in the RAM  133 , and at the subsequent step S 33 , the CPU  131  transmits the increased amount of the credit amount as a chip detection signal to the controller  150 . The controller  150  stores this credit data into the RAM  153 . In the gaming terminal  120 , chips are accepted at any time even during the game, so that the update of the credit amount of the RAM  133  according to the chip insertion result and the transmission of the chip detection signal are carried out at any time. 
     In addition, at the step S 34 , the CPU  131  judges whether the betting is possible or not, according to the credit amount stored in the RAM  133  (the credit amount possessed by this gaming terminal  120 ). In the case of this embodiment, the betting is possible from one chip, so that in a case where the credit amount stored in the RAM  133  is greater than or equal to one, the CPU  131  obtains the affirmative result at the step S 34  and makes a transition from the step S 34  to the step S 35 . Also, in a case where the credit amount stored in the RAM  133  is 0, the CPU  131  obtains the negative result at the step S 34  and returns from the step S 34  to the step S 31  described above. In this way, the CPU  131  repeats the processing of the step S 31  to the step S 34 , until the chips are inserted and the betting becomes possible. 
     In addition, at the step S 35 , the CPU  131  judges whether the betting acceptance is to be started or not according to the betting acceptance flag stored in a betting acceptance flag memory area  133 F of the RAM  133 . The betting acceptance flag becomes a state permitting the betting acceptance in a case where both of the first card game and the second card game are finished. Namely, when the first card game and the second card game are finished, the controller  150  transmits the game result and the payout according to this game result to the gaming terminal  120 . At the gaming terminal  120 . The betting acceptance flag of the RAM  133  is changed from a betting prohibiting state to a betting permitting state, in a case where the payouts of both the first card game and the second card game are received completely. When this betting acceptance flag becomes the betting permitting state, the CPU  131  starts the betting acceptance. Namely, at the gaming terminal  120 , the betting acceptance is started at a timing when both the first card game and the second card game are finished. Consequently, in a case where the betting acceptance flag of the RAM  133  is in the betting prohibiting state, the CPU  131  repeats the processing of the step S 34  until that flag becomes the betting permitting state. 
     When the betting acceptance flag becomes the betting permitting state, the CPU  131  makes a transition from the step S 35  to the step S 36 . Note that, at the gaming terminal  120 , whether or not to make a bet for the second card game is an option of the participant, so that there is a case where only a bet for the first card game is made. In this case, the information indicating a bet for the first card game and the information indicating the absence of a bet for the second card game are stored into the RAM  133  of the gaming terminal  120  at a timing of the end of the betting period, and these information is transmitted from the gaming terminal  120  to the controller  150 . These will be described below. 
     At the step S 36 , the CPU  131  displays a betting screen ( FIG. 14 ) for accepting bets at the terminal display  123 , and then accepts bets for the first card game and the second card games. The CPU  131  temporarily stores the operation result of the touch panel  124  provided on the terminal display  123  as the bet information for the first card game and the second card game, into the bet information memory area  133 C of the RAM  133 . 
     When the betting acceptance is started at the step S 36 , the CPU  131  activates the internal timer, and counts the elapsed time since a timing at which the betting acceptance is started. Then, the CPU  131  makes a transition to the step S 37 , and judges whether the betting acceptance period (the betting period) has ended or not according to the elapsed time obtained from the internal timer. 
     When the negative result is obtained at the step S 37 , this implies that the betting acceptance period has not ended, so that the CPU  131  returns to the step S 36  described above and repeats the betting acceptance processing. In this way, the acceptance of the bets for the first card game and the supplementary card game is carried out simultaneously during the betting period. 
     Then, in a case where it is judged that the betting acceptance period has ended according to the count result of the internal timer, the CPU  131  obtains the affirmative result at the step S 37 , makes a transition from the step S 37  to the step S 38 , and finishes the betting acceptance. In a case where is no bet input for the second card game during the betting period, the CPU  131  regards that it is not participating in the supplementary card game, and stores the fact that there is no bet for the second card game into the bet information memory area  133 C. 
     When the betting acceptance is finished, at the step S 39 , the CPU  131  transmits the bet information regarding the first card game and the second card game that is stored in the RAM  133  during the betting acceptance period, to the controller  150 . 
     When the betting acceptance is finished and the bet information is transmitted from the gaming terminal  120  to the controller  150 , the controller  150  starts the first card game and the second card game. The processing procedure of the controller  150  for executing these card games will be described below. 
     Then, when the first card game and the second card game are finished, information indicating sizes of prizes acquired by that gaming terminal  120  (information indicating a number of chips acquired in the first card game and a number of chips acquired in the second card game individually) is attached to the game result and transmitted form the controller  150  to the gaming terminal  120 . By receiving this game result, the gaming terminal  120  stores the sizes (numbers of chips) of the acquired prizes separately for the first card game and the second card game, into the payout information memory area  133 D of the RAM  133 , while displaying it in the last game display region  123 L ( FIG. 14 ) of the terminal display  123 , and also executes a processing according to that game result. Note that the controller  150  updates the credit amount possessed by that gaming terminal  120  on the RAM  153 , according to the sizes of the prizes acquired by the gaming terminal  120 . The controller  150  also transmits this updated result to the gaming terminal  120 , along with the information indicating the sizes of the prizes. The gaming terminal  120  updates the credit amount stored in the credit amount memory area  133 B of the RAM  133  according to this information. 
     Namely, at the step S 40 , the CPU  131  judges whether the game result is received from the controller  150  or not. When the negative result is obtained here, this implies that the games are not finished yet, so that the CPU  131  repeats the processing of the step S 40  until the game result is received. 
     Then, when the game result is transmitted from the controller  150  to the gaming terminal  120 , the CPU  131  obtains the affirmative result at the step S 40 , and makes a transition from the step S 40  to the step S 41 . 
     At the step S 41 , the CPU  131  rewrites a game result receiving flag of a game result receiving flag memory area  133 G of the RAM  133  to “1”. The game result transmitted from the controller  150  to the gaming terminal  120  contains the game result of the first card game and the game result of the second card game, so that the game result of the first card game and the game result of the second card game are transmitted at once. Here, in a case where no bet is made for the second card game at the gaming terminal  120 , information indicating the absence of the game result is transmitted as information indicating the game result of the second card game. 
     In this way, when the game result is received from the controller  150 , the CPU  131  changes the game result receiving flag corresponding to that received game result, so that it is possible to judge whether the first card game and the second card game are finished or not, according to a state of this flag. 
     At the step S 42 , the CPU  131  displays the sizes of the prizes (payouts) generated for that gaming terminal  120  on the terminal display  123 . More specifically, the CPU  131  displays a size of a prize regarding the first card game and a size of a prize regarding the second card game individually in the last game display region  123 L shown in  FIG. 14 . In an exemplary display shown in  FIG. 14 , as a size of a prize acquired by that gaming terminal  120  in the first card game was 0 chip, “WIN 0” is displayed in an entry of “MAIN”, and also as a size of a prize acquired in the second card game was 10 chips, “WIN 10” is displayed in an entry of “SIDE”. 
     The gaming terminal  120  is receiving the credit amount updated in the RAM  153  of the controller  150  along with the game result, and at the step S 43 , the CPU  131  updates the credit amount of the RAM  133 , and displays this credit amount in the credit amount display region  123 J ( FIG. 14 ). 
     The CPU  131  calculates the accumulated value of the sizes of the prizes generated for that gaming terminal  120 , stores it into the payout accumulated value memory area  133 E of the RAM  133 , and displays it in the total payout amount display region  123 M. 
     In addition, at the step S 44 , the CPU  131  judges whether the first card game and the second card game are finished or not. Namely, when the fact that the both games are finished s received from the controller  150 , the CPU  131  judges whether the game results of both the first card game and the second card game or not by referring to the game result receiving flag of the RAM  133 , and in a case where the game results of both are not received, the CPU  131  obtains the negative result and returns to the step S 40  described above. In contrast, in a case where the game results of both are received, the CPU  131  obtains the affirmative result at the step S 44 , makes a transition to the step S 45 , where the game result receiving flag is reset from “1” to “0”, and then returns to the step S 31  described above to repeat the similar processing. 
     Next, a series of operations from the acceptance of the bet information until the transmission of the game result at the controller  150  is shown in  FIG. 17 . In  FIG. 17 , the step for receiving the credit amount information transmitted from the gaming terminal  120  to the controller  150  according to the insertion of chips is omitted, but this processing is carried out at any time, and when this information is received, the CPU  151  updates the credit amount stored in the RAM  153 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 17 , at the step S 51 , the CPU  151  of the controller  150  judges whether the bet information is received from the gaming terminal  120  or not. When the negative result is obtained here, this implies that the betting period has not elapsed at the gaming terminal  120 , so that the CFPU  151  repeats the processing of the step S 51  until the bet information is received. At each gaming terminal  120 , even in a case where there is no bet input within the bet time, the bet information (information indicating that the number of chips related to the bet is “0”) is transmitted to the controller  150 . When the bet information is transmitted to the controller  150  from all the gaming terminals  120 , the CPU  151  obtains the affirmative result at the step S 51 , and makes a transition from the step S 51  to the step S 52 . 
     At the step S 52 , according to the bet information related to the first card game and the bet information related to the second card game received from each gaming terminal  120 , the CPU  151  adds these amounts of chips bet to the amount of chips (the amount of chips possessed by the controller  150 ) stored in the chip information memory area  153 G of the RAM  153 , and updates this amount of chips. 
     Then, at the step S 53 , the CPU  151  displays the bet information of each gaming terminal  120  in the second window  104  of the display screen  102  of the common display  101 . For example, an exemplary display of the common display  101  shown in  FIG. 18  is showing a state in which two chips are bet on the Banker for the first card game and one chip is bet for the second card game at the first gaming terminal  120 A, ten chips are bet on the Player for the first card game at the second gaming terminal  120 B, six chips are bet on the Banker for the first card game and one chip is bet for the second card game at the third gaming terminal  120 C, one chip is bet on the tie for the first card game at the fourth gaming terminal  120 D, ten chips are bet on the Banker for the first card game and five chips are bet for the second card game at the fifth gaming terminal  120 E, one chip is bet on the tie for the first card game at the sixth gaming terminal  120 F, and five chips are bet on the Player for the first card game at the seventh gaming terminal  120 G. 
     In this way, the CPU  151  displays the contents bet at the gaming terminals  120  ( 120 A to  120 G) on the common display  101 , and then makes a transition to the step S 54  and executes the card games (the first card game and the second card game). Namely,  FIG. 19  shows a procedure for executing the first card game and the second card game which is to be executed by the CPU  151 , and when the CPU  151  enters into this processing, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 71 , and displays a state in which cards are dealt to the Banker in the first window  103  of the common display  101  (FIG.  13 ). Namely, the CPU  151  displays an image of a state in which two cards are laid face down in a region for arranging cards for the Banker (the first display area  103 A) in the display screen  102  of the common display  101  shown in  FIG. 13 . 
     In addition, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 72 , and displays a state in which cards are dealt to the Player in the first window  103  of the common display  101  ( FIG. 13 ). Namely, the CPU  151  displays an image of a state in which two cards are laid face down in a region for arranging cards for the Player (the second display area  103 B) in the display screen  102  of the common display  101  shown in  FIG. 13 . 
     In this way, as shown in  FIG. 20 , at the display screen  102  of the common display  101 , an image of a state in which two cards C 11  and C 12  are laid face down in the first display area  103 A (area for displaying cards of the Banker) and an image of a state in which two cards C 13  and C 14  are laid face down in the second display area (area for displaying cards of the Player) in the first window  103  for displaying the proceeding states of the first card game and the supplementary card game. 
     Then, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 73 , and randomly selects whether or not to include a card for which a color of a front face on a side that is laid face down is the second color (gold) among the cards displayed in a state of being laid face down in the first and second display areas at the step S 71  and the step S 72  described above. Namely, the CPU  151  randomly determines whether or not to set any one of the cards displayed in the first and second display areas  103 A and  103 B to be the gold card. In this case, random number values are allocated to the displayed cards, and whether or not to set it to be the gold card is determined according to this random number value. A probability for making the gold card appear is stored in the appearance probability memory area  153 H for the particular color in the RAM  153 , and a correspondence relationship between a random number value and a state (whether or not to make the gold card appear) corresponding to that random number value is set according to this probability. This setting is also stored in the appearance probability memory area  153 H for the particular color. In addition, at the step S 76 , in a case where it is determined to make the card of the particular color appear, the CPU  151  changes a flag of the particular color appearance flag memory area  153 I of the RAM  153  from “0” to “1”. This flag is reset to “0” every time one play of the game is finished. 
     In this way, when whether or not to set it to be the gold card is determined for each of the cards displayed in the first and second display areas  103 A and  103 B, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 74 , and changes the cards displayed in the first and second display areas at the step S 71  and the step S 72  described above from a state of being laid face down to a state of being opened. 
     As a result, as shown in  FIG. 21 , a state in which cards of the first display area  103 A and the second display area  103 B are opened is displayed. In this case, the CPU  151  randomly selects the suits and the ranks of the cards C 11  to C 14  from those determined in advance. The suits are selected from Diamond, Heart, Clover and Spade, and the ranks are selected from numbers  1  to  13 . Then, in the first and second display areas  103 A and  103 B, an image of a state in which indications of the randomly selected suit and rank of each card are superposed on an image of a front face of the card is displayed. For example, in the first display area  103 A, as an image of the card C 11 , a mark of Diamond as the suit and a numeral “2” as the rank are displayed and a state in which their indications are superposed on an image of a card front face is displayed. Also, as an image of the card C 12 , a mark of Spade as the suit and a numeral “6” as the rank are displayed and a state in which their indications are superposed on an image of a card front face is displayed. Also, in the second display are  103 B, as an image of the card C 13 , a mark of Heat as the suit and a numeral “2” as the rank are displayed and a state in which their indications are superposed on an image of a card front face is displayed. Also, as an image of the card C 14 , a mark of Clover as the suit and a numeral “5” as the rank are displayed and a state in which their indications are superposed on an image of a card front face is displayed. 
     In a case where a determination to make the gold card appear is made at the step S 73  described above, the CPU  151  displays an image of a front face of the corresponding card in gold (second color) according to that determination. For example, in a case where a determination to set the card C 11  of the first display area  103 A to be the gold card is made at the step S 73  described above, a color of a card front face of that card C 11  is displayed in gold, as shown in  FIG. 21 . By such a processing, a color of an image of a card front face for the first card game displayed on the common display  101  is randomly changed. 
     Then, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 75 , and judges whether or not to deal an additional card to at least either one of the Banker and the Player, according to the game rules of the first card game (baccarat game) described above in the first embodiment. 
     In the case of an exemplary display shown in  FIG. 21 , an additional card will not be dealt to either one of the Banker and the Player according to the rules of the baccarat game, so that the cards of the baccarat game are ascertained to be total four cards of the Banker (the first display area  103 A) and the Player (the second display area  103 B) displayed at this point. 
     In a case where an additional card is necessary, the CPU  151  obtained the affirmative result at the step S 75 , and makes a transition from the step S 75  to the step S 76 , where it randomly selects whether or not to make the gold card appear as the additional card, and then it displays the additional card in a state of being opened in at least either one of the first display area  103 A and the second display area  103 B, according to a result of the judgment based on the game rules at the step S 77 . The processing at the step S 76  is similar to the processing at the step S 73  described above. 
     Thus, on the common display  101 , in the first display area  103 A (area of the Banker) and the second display area  103 B (area of the Player) of the first window  103  for displaying the first card game (baccarat game) and the second card game, an image of a state in which a plurality of cards are opened in conjunction with the proceeding of the first card game is displayed, as shown in  FIG. 21 . Then, the determination of the payouts of the first card game according to the opened cards, and the second card game in which the generation of prizes is determined according to whether there is a card (gold card) for which a color of a front face is a particular color (gold) or not among the opened cards will proceed. 
     Namely, at the step S 78 , the CPU  151  judges win or lose of the cards dealt to the first display area  103 A (i.e., the Banker) and the cards dealt to the second display area  103 B (i.e., the Player), according to the cards opened in the first display area  103 A and the second display area  103 B, for the first card game (baccarat game). This judgment of win or lose is such that one with the lower one digit of a total of the dealt cards closer to 9 among the Banker and the Player will win, according to the rules of the baccarat game, similarly as in the case of the first embodiment. Also, when the lower one digits are the same, it will be tie. Thus, a result of this judgment of win or lose becomes any one of the Banker&#39;s win, the Player&#39;s win, and the tie. Note that, at a time of calculating a total, it is calculated by regarding Ace (A) as 1, each of 2 to 10 as the same number as the number on that card, and each of picture cards (Jack (J), Queen (Q) and King (K)) as 10. The judged win or lose is stored in the game result memory area  153 B of the RAM  153  ( FIG. 10 ) as the game result of the first card game. 
     In the case of an exemplary display shown in  FIG. 21 , the lower one digit of a total of the cards of the Banker (the first display area  103 A) is 8 (natural), and the lower one digit of a total of the cards of the Player (the second display area  103 B) is 7, so that the Banker (the first display area  103 A) is going to win. 
     Then, at the step S 79 , the CPU  151  calculates payouts for the gaming terminals  120  ( 120 A to  120 G) according to the win or lose of the first card game judged at the step S 78  described above. Namely, each gaming terminal  120  has made a bet on any one of the Banker&#39;s win, the Player&#39;s win and the tie for the first card game (baccarat game), and a payout according to that bet is calculated for the gaming terminal  120  for which the game result and the bet content coincide. 
     In the case of an exemplary display shown in  FIG. 21 , the result of the first card game is the Banker&#39;s win, so that the payouts are calculated for the gaming terminals  120 A,  120 C and  120 E that have made bets on the Banker&#39;s win. Namely, the payouts are calculated for the gaming terminals  120 A,  120 C and  120 E that have their bet contents displayed in the first area  104 A corresponding to the Banker&#39;s win in the second window  104  for displaying the bet contents of the gaming terminals  120 . 
     In this case, at the first gaming terminal  120 A, two chips are bet on the Banker&#39;s win, so that the payout is four chips obtained by adding the same amount of two chips to the bet chips. Also, at the third gaming terminal  120 C, six chips are bet on the Banker&#39;s win, so that the payout is twelve chips. Also, at the fifth gaming terminal  120 E, ten chips are bet on the Banker&#39;s win, so that the payout is twenty chips. 
     Note that the method for calculating the payouts of the baccarat game in the case where the bet on the Player&#39;s win becomes a winning bet is the same as in the case of the Banker&#39;s win, but in the case where the bet on the tie becomes a winning bet, the payout becomes a number of chips in which eight times the bet chips are added to the bet chips. This calculation result of the payout is stored in the payout amount memory area  153 C of the RAM  153  along with information for identifying the gaming terminal  120  to which the payout is to be paid. 
     When the calculation of the payouts of the first card game is finished, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 80 , and judges whether the supplementary card game is to be executed or not. At this step S 80 , the CPU  151  judges that a transition to the supplementary card game is to be made in a case where the flag in the particular color appearance flag memory area  153 I of the RAM  153  is set as “1”. Namely, in a case where the appearance of the card of the particular color (gold card) is to be made is selected at the step S 73  and the step S 76  described above, the flag in the particular color appearance flag memory area  153 I of the RAM  153  is changed to “1”. Consequently, in a case where this flag is “1”, the gold card appears in the second card game, and there is a need to make a transition to the supplementary card game for determining sizes of prizes of that second card game, so that the CPU  151  makes a transition from the step S 80  to the step S 81 , and displays an image of cards for the supplementary card game in a region for arranging cards for the supplementary card game (the third display area  103 C) on the common display  101 . In this case, the CPU  151  displays an image of cards for the supplementary card game in the third display area  103 C corresponding to the gaming terminals that have made bets (side bets) for the second card game. The CPU  151  randomly selects a suit and a rank and displays a state in which an image of the selected suit and rank is superposed on an image of a card front face in the third display area  103 C, as an image of a card to be displayed. 
     In this way, as shown in  FIG. 22 , an image of a state in which cards C 21 , C 22  and C 23  are opened respectively in the display areas  103 Ca,  103 Cc and  103 Ce, one card in each area, corresponding to the gaming terminals  120  that have made bets (side bets) for the second card game in the third display area  103 C (the gaming terminals  120 A,  120 C and  120 E in the case of an exemplary display shown in  FIG. 22 , for example), is displayed. 
     Then, at the step S 83 , the CPU  151  judges an order in the supplementary card game according to the cards for the supplementary card game displayed at the step S 81  described above. 
     In this case, the CPU  151  judges an order of the cards C 21 , C 22  and C 23  displayed on the common display  101  for the purpose of the supplementary card game. As a method for judging this order, an order is determined as a descending order of the ranks of the cards dealt for the supplementary card game, for example. In the case of an exemplary display shown in  FIG. 22 , the rank of the card C 21  is “2”, the rank of the card C 22  is “1 (Ace)”, and the rank of the card C 23  is “10”, so that the card C 23  becomes the first place, the card C 21  becomes the second place, and the card C 22  becomes the third place. As a result, the gaming terminal  120 E corresponding to the area  103 Ce in which the card C 23  is displayed becomes the first place, the gaming terminal  120 A corresponding to the area  103 Ca in which the card C 21  is displayed becomes the second place, and the gaming terminal  120 C corresponding to the area  103 Cc in which the card C 22  is displayed becomes the third place. 
     When this order is judged, the CPU  151  makes a transition to the step S 82 , and calculates payouts for the gaming terminals  120 A,  120 C and  120 E that have made the side bets, according to the order judged at the step S 81 . 
     The method for determining an order is not limited to the descending order of the ranks, and it may be determined by combining a type of the suit, etc. 
     As a method for determining the payouts, there is a method in which rates for bet chips are determined in advance according to the order, for example. In this case, a payout of three times chips bet by the participant is determined for the gaming terminal (participant) that became the first place in the supplementary card game, a payout of two times chips bet by the participant is determined for the participant who became the second place, and a payout of one time chips bet by the participant is determined for the participants who became the third or lower places. This determination method is stored in the payout rate memory area  153  F of the RAM  153 . These payouts are to be paid to the participants in addition to the bet chips. 
     As a method for determining the payouts at the step S 82 , it is possible to adopt other methods such as that in which the payout rate (a rate for bet chips) is changed according to the number of the participants who made bets for the second card game, for example, without being limited to the method described above. 
     In the above description, the size of the prize is determined according to a result of the supplementary card game in a case where the generation of the prize is determined in the second card game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be made such that a payout determined in advance is paid to the corresponding participants in a case where the gold card is made to appear, without carrying out the supplementary card game of the step S 81  and the step S 82 . 
     Then, the CPU  151  finishes one play of the card games (step S 54  (FIG.  17 )), and makes a transition to the step S 55  of  FIG. 17 . At the step S 55 , the CPU  151  updates the credit amounts possessed by the gaming terminals  120  that are stored in the credit amount memory area  153 D of the RAM  153 , according to the payouts calculated at the step S 79  and the step S 82  described above. Namely, among the credit amounts possessed by the gaming terminals  120  that are stored in the credit amount memory area  153 D, the credit amounts of those gaming terminals  120  that acquired the payouts are increased as much as these payouts. 
     Then, at the step S 56 , the CPU  151  updates the chip information in the chip information memory area  153 G, by subtracting the amounts of the payouts related to the first card game and the amounts of the payouts related to the supplementary card game that are paid to the gaming terminals  120 , from the chip information (the amount of chips possessed by the controller  150 ) that is stored in the chip information memory area  153 G of the RAM  153 . 
     Then, at the step S 57 , the CPU  151  transmits the payout information indicating the payout of the first card game calculated at the step S 79  described above to the gaming terminal  120  to which that payout is to be paid, and further at the step S 58 , the CPU  151  transmits the payout information indicating the payout of the second card game calculated at the step S 82  described above to the gaming terminal  120  to which that payout is to be paid. When the payout information related to the first card game and the payout information related to the second card game are transmitted, the CPU  151  finishes one play of the card games. 
     Thus, in the gaming machine  100  of this embodiment, during the first card game (baccarat game) is executed once, the second card game is executed according to the cards dealt for that first card game, and when the generation of a prize is determined in the second card game due to the appearance of the gold card, the size of that prize (payout) is determined by the supplementary card game. 
     Namely, in the baccarat game, at least two cards allocated to each of the Banker and the Player (total four cards) are displayed. Here, an image of a card displayed for the first card game is displayed in a state in which an image of a suit and a rank is superposed on an image of a card front face. A color of an image of a card front face is randomly selected as either one of the first color (white in the case of this embodiment) and the second color (gold in the case of this embodiment) that is a particular color. In a case where the second color is selected, the generation of prizes for the gaming terminals (participants) which made bets for the second card game is determined. 
     Thus, every time the first card game is carried out once, a participant can make a bet for the second card game as an option, along with a bet for the first card game, and in the supplementary card game, a card game of a type different from the first card game is executed. In this way, it becomes possible for a participant to make a plurality of bets for different games during one play of the card game. 
     Also, when the generation of a prize in the second card game is determined, the supplementary card game for determining a size of that prize is executed, so that it becomes possible to give an opportunity of the supplementary card game associated with the second card game in addition, to the participant. In this way, the satisfaction of the participant can be improved further. 
     Also, according to the playing method of card games and the gaming machine according to the present invention, as it is made possible for a participant to make a plurality of bets for different types of games during one play of the card game, a density of a card game that can be enjoyed by a participant with respect to a time required for the card game can be made higher, and the satisfaction of the participant with respect to the card game can be improved. 
     The playing method and gaming machine according to the embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
