Note that a specific winning port (which may also serve as a starting port) may be provided on the game board 3 so that the symbol character is switched when the specific winning port is won.

The font ROMs 85a and 85b can be freely exchanged. Therefore, the symbol ROM can be easily changed by replacing and setting a font ROM having other symbol character data. The amusement store can select the desired design.

If the number of font ROMs 85a and 85b or the types of design characters stored in them are increased, various games can be performed with one gaming machine, and the choices of players can be expanded.

Further, a predetermined symbol of the symbol character can be changed to a specific character. Font ROM 85a,
If the specific character data is written in the non-volatile memory 88 provided separately from the reference character 85b, the specific character is displayed instead of the predetermined symbol during the display of the symbol character (see FIGS. 36 and 33).

The design (data) of the specific character can be freely written in the non-volatile memory 88 from the management device 90. Therefore, even the same design character can be changed into an unexpected game image with a different taste. If a game store-specific mark (such as a service mark) is displayed, it becomes distinctive, and the originality of the game store can be displayed.

It is difficult not only to increase the cost but also to make all of the symbol characters unique to the game store, but it is only necessary to change a certain symbol, so that the storage capacity of the nonvolatile memory 88 is small.

Since the non-volatile memory 88 can be exchanged, and data can be written and changed from the management device 90, if a specific character is changed depending on the month or day of the week,
A wide variety of designs can be provided, and the player can play the game fresh.

When there is no data in the nonvolatile memory 88,
A predetermined design character (font ROM 85)
a, 85b) is displayed, so that even if the user does not forget to write the data or does not request the specific character display, the game is not hindered. Since the non-volatile memory 88 is a separate component from other memories, there is no fear of unauthorized operation during data writing or the like.

When a big hit occurs due to the design of the specific character, a special big hit (the probability of occurrence of the next big hit may be high) may be generated.

[0143] On the other hand, the display commands from the game control unit 75, the clock signal is transmitted by changing the signal data to the falling o'clock from the time of rise of the clock signal, the display system
