Gaming machine

Abstract

One of values 0 to 9 is associated with each of ten turnips 240 a to 240 j displayed on a lower image display panel 141 , and one of these turnips is selected. When the turnip 240 h is selected, for example, the value associated with the selected turnip 240 h is displayed in a one's place 241 displayed on the lower image display panel 141 , as a payout-related value. This operation is repeated for a predetermined number of times for the tens place and the hundreds place When the three-digit number (“7”, “5”, and “1”) are determined, the numbers “8”, “2”, “4”, “0”, “3”, and “9” corresponding to the non-selected turnips 240 a , 240 b , 240 d , 240 e , 240 f , 240 g , and 240 j are displayed. Then a credit calculated by multiplying the determined three-digit numbers “751” by a line bet is paid out.
