Reads the pending data recorded in the RAM 34 and outputs it to the main control device 101.

When the main controller 101 receives the hold data from the station controller 31 (S12),
It functions as a privilege content changing means and adds the number of medals to be added corresponding to the number of holdings shown in the table below to the number of payouts specified according to the lottery result of the central lottery device 40 according to Table 2 below. (S13). Then, during the medal payout operation, the main control device 101 outputs to the central lottery device medal payout device 80 a medal payout command for paying out the number of medals paying out the number obtained by adding the addition number to the specified number.

[0083]

[Table 2]

According to this modification, the number of medals to be paid out can be increased based on the number of holdings immediately before the medal payout operation after the lottery by the central lottery device 40 is started. Therefore, if the player waiting for the lottery in the central lottery device 40 passes the medals M through the medal passage opening 17a of the medal chucker 17 to increase the number of holdings, the standby state is released and the central lottery device 40 is used. It is possible to increase the number of medals obtained according to the lottery result.

In this modification, the number to be added is determined based on the number of holdings immediately before the medal payout operation. However, if the waiting state is released, for example, when the waiting state is released, The arithmetic may be determined based on the number of reservations. Further, in the present modification, the case where the number of holdings is used as the game result has been described, but various game results can be used according to the game content of the game device and the like. Further, in the present modification, a case has been described in which the number of paid-out medals is changed in order to grant a medal as a privilege.However, when the other privilege is configured, the privilege content is changed according to the privilege. Change as appropriate.
