Abstract
In each gaming terminal, the base game is run independently from the other gaming terminals and the payout is awarded according to a predetermined winning. The bonus game is run based on a predetermined condition. When a predetermined winning is met in any of the gaming terminals, the state of the light emitting portions in the corresponding path having straight and bent portions is changed toward the bonus payout indicator, in numbers fewer in the straight portion than in the bent portion. The bonus payout is awarded in the gaming terminal corresponding to a path in which the light emitting portions underwent state changes up to the bonus payout indicator.
