Abstract

In the slot machine 1, when the touch panel 5 k corresponding to the periphery of the denomination display part 32 is touched, the numerical keypad image, which constructs the numerical keypad device 35 in cooperation with the touch panel 5 k, is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 5 d and input operation of voluntary denomination value through the numerical keypad device 35 is activated. After the sum is input through the numerical keypad device 35, if the player operates the start lever 9 or the spin switch 13 or the MAX BET switch 17, the numerical keypad image disappears. The denomination is recognized by the main CPU 42. Next, when the bet number is directed through operation of the 1-BET switch 16 or the MAX-BET switch 17, the sum calculated by multiplying the denomination with the bet number is set as the betted money. And based on the operation of the start lever 9 or the spin switch or the MAX BET switch 17 by the player, rotation process of the reels 2 to 4 is done, thereby the slot machine game is started.
