1. A gaming machine comprising:
a plurality of gaming terminals each having an input device and a terminal controller, the input device capable of receiving an external input, and the terminal controller programmed to carry out the following steps of (a1) to (a4); and a center controller connected in communication with the gaming terminals programmed to carry out the following steps of (b1) to (b5), wherein the terminal controllers each carry out the steps of: (a1) repetitively running an individual base game at each of the plurality of gaming terminals in response to a start operation input through the input device, each individual base game at each of the plurality of gaming terminals being independent and distinct, and separately runnable, from one another; (a2) running a common crap game which allows participation by all of the plurality of gaming terminals in response to a common game start command from the center controller; (a3) determining whether a gaming terminal is designated to be a shooter of the common crap game based on a shooter command from the center controller, and in the event that the gaming terminal is designated to be a shooter, receiving a roll operation input through the input device to allow the roll operation command to be outputted to the center controller; and (a4) based on game result information from the center controller, determining a common game win or loss which causes the crap game to end, and (i) in the event that no win or loss is resulted, running a common crap game again, and (ii) in the event that a win is resulted, awarding a payout according to the win, and wherein the center controller carries out the steps of: (b1) based on an individual base game running status at each of the plurality of gaming terminals and a cumulative accumulated value, which is a sum of accumulated values taken from each of the plurality of gaming terminals and which increases through repetition of the individual base games at each of the gaming terminals, determining whether a common crap game runnable condition has been met based on the cumulative accumulated value reaching a predetermined value; (b2) in the event that the common crap game runnable condition has been met, outputting the common game start command simultaneously to all of the gaming terminals; (b3) after the common game start command is outputted, shifting from the individual base games played at each of the plurality of gaming terminals to the common crap game, selecting a specific gaming terminal from among all of the gaming terminals, and outputting the shooter command to the specific gaming terminal; (b4) determining a win or loss based on the roll operation command from the specific gaming terminal, and outputting the determination result as game result information to all of the gaming terminals; and (b5) in the event that no win or loss results from the common crap game, selecting the specific or another specific gaming terminal from among all of the gaming terminals, and outputting the shooter command to the specific or another gaming terminal, wherein a portion of a bet amount in each individual base game at each of the plurality of gaming terminals is collected and stored by the central controller and utilized as a resource for payout in the common crap game; and wherein, the gaming machine includes a common display device positionally disposed such that it is viewable from each of the plurality of the gaming terminals, and the center controller is configured to display a movable object and a predetermined goal area on the common display device and control movement of the movable object toward the predetermined goal area as the cumulative accumulated value increases, the movable object reaching the predetermined goal area when the cumulative accumulated value reaches the predetermined value corresponding to the common crap game runnable condition. |
