Abstract

A bet which may cause a regular payout to be given to a player is received, and at the same time a bet which may cause a bonus payout which is given to the player separately from the regular payout to be given together with the regular payout is received. By receiving a bet on a game result based on values of several dice cast, a craps game for determining win or loss of the player is executed. At least the regular payout is given in accordance with a bet made by the player who has won the craps game.
