Abstract
To set a bet number according to an intention of a player, there is provided one bet switch,for a player to designate a desired bet number N. A game machine is provided in its body with a control unit,for setting the bet number N designated by the player by detecting whether or not the bet switch,has been operated. This control unit,sets the bet number N to a maximum allowable bet number “Kmax” when the bet switch,is operated one time prior to the start of each game. After this, each time the bet switch,is operated, the maximum allowable bet number “Kmax” is subtracted by 1, and this difference is set as the bet number N. Each time the operation number of the bet switch,reaches a predetermined value, the maximum allowable bet number is again set to “Kmax”. By repeating the subtraction of the bet number N by 1 each time the bet switch,is operated, moreover, the bet number N is set within a range of the maximum allowable bet number “Kmax”.
