At first, in step S381, host CPU 71 shows ten radish 240a, 240b, 240c, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240h, 240i and 240j (Figure 35 (a)) on downside image display panel 141.Then in step S382, in internal random ground and value 0 to 9 of each among ten radish 240a to 240j is associated.Asking the player then is one that a position 241 is selected among ten shown radish 240a to 240j.In step S383, host CPU 71 determines whether to be position 241 one of having selected among the shown radish 240a to 240j.Particularly, whether any part in corresponding with radish 240a to the 240j respectively part of host CPU 71 definite touch panels 114 is touched.If determine not make a choice (S383:NO), then host CPU 71 is waited for and being selected.

On the other hand, when determining to have made a choice (S383:YES), carry out " individual position " and determine effect (S384)." individual position " determines that effect is configured to, for example when in step S383, having selected radish 240h, as shown in Figure 35 (b), displayed value " 1 " on the radish 240h that is associated that has selected, the value " 1 " that is associated with selected radish 240h is displayed in the position 241 that shows on the downside image display panel 141 then.

Then, in step S385, host CPU 71 shows remaining nine radish 240a, 240b, 240c, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and 240j (Figure 35 (c)) on downside image display panel 141.Ask the player to be ten 242 then and select among shown nine radish 240a, 240b, 240c, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j.In step S386, host CPU 71 determines whether that being ten 242 has selected among shown radish 240a, 240b, 240c, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j.Particularly, whether any part in corresponding with radish 240a, 240b, 240c, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j respectively part of host CPU 71 definite touch panels 114 is touched.If determine not make a choice (S386:NO), then host CPU 71 is waited for and being selected.

On the other hand, if determine to make a choice (S386:YES), then carry out " ten " and determine effect (S387)." ten " determine that effect is configured to, for example when in step S386, having selected radish 240c, as shown in Figure 35 (d), the value " 5 " that is associated with selected radish 240c is displayed on the selected radish 240c, and the value " 5 " that is associated with selected radish 240c is displayed in ten 242 that show on the downside image display panel 141 then.

Subsequently, in step S388, whether the number of determining effective pay lines is above five.Whether the number of more specifically, determining to play 10 line buttons 42 by pushing, play 20 line buttons 43 or playing the pay lines that 30 line buttons 44 activate is not less than six.If effectively the number of pay lines is no more than five (S388:NO), then handles and proceed to step S392 described later.When the number of effective pay lines is no more than five (S388:NO), displayed value " 0 " in hundred 243 of demonstration on downside image display panel 141.

On the other hand, if effective the outnumbering of pay lines five (S388:YES), then in step S389, host CPU 71 shows remaining eight radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and 240j (Figure 35 (e)) on downside image display panel 141.Ask the player to be hundred 243 then and select among shown eight radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j.In step S390, host CPU 71 determines whether that being hundred 243 has selected among shown eight radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j.Particularly, whether any part in corresponding with radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j respectively part of host CPU 71 definite touch panels 114 is touched.If determine not make a choice (S390:NO), then host CPU 71 is waited for and being selected.

On the other hand, if determine to make a choice (S390:YES), then carry out " hundred " and determine effect (S391)." hundred " determine that effect is configured to, for example when in step S390, having selected radish 240i, as shown in Figure 35 (f), the value " 7 " that is associated with selected radish 240i is displayed on the selected radish 240i, and the value " 7 " that is associated with selected radish 240i is displayed in hundred 243 that show on the downside image display panel 141 then.Thus, three bit value have been determined.

After this, in step S392, as shown in Figure 35 (g), the value " 8 " that is associated with unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g and 240j in step S383, step S386 and step S390, " 2 ", " 4 ", " 0 ", " 6 ", " 3 " and " 9 " are displayed on unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g and the 240j.As a result, in step S392, the value that is associated with ten radish 240a to 240j respectively in inside is all shown.If the result of step S388 is NO, then the value " 8 " that is associated with unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and 240j in step S383 and step S386, " 2 ", " 4 ", " 0 ", " 6 ", " 3 ", " 7 " and " 9 " are displayed on unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240i and the 240j.

At last, in step S393, as shown in Figure 35 (h), carry out payment processes, make and multiply by the bet number (line notes) that every effective pay lines is bet with determined three bit value " 751 " (if be NO in step S388, then determined double figures value " 51 ") and the suitable payment number of the value that calculates is increased in the payment number that is stored among the RAM 73." radish results " game processing (brick room version) finishes subsequently.

As mentioned above, according to above-mentioned configuration, in " radish results " recreation (brick room version), for example, in the numerical value 0 to 9 is associated with among ten radish 240a, 240b, 240c, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g, 240h, 240i and the 240j showing on downside image display panel 141 each randomly.Select among the radish 240a to 240j then.For example, when having selected radish 240h, the value " 1 " that is associated with selected radish 240h is displayed in the position 241 that shows on the downside image display panel 141, as the payment correlation that is used for determining payment.This is operating as ten and hundred and repeats pre-determined number.When having determined three figure places (" 7 ", " 5 " and " 1 "), show and unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g and the corresponding numerical value of 240j " 8 ", " 2 ", " 4 ", " 0 ", " 6 ", " 3 " and " 9 ".Payment will determined three figure places " 751 " be multiply by the line notes and the integration that calculates then.According to above-mentioned configuration, because before one in selecting radish 240a to 240j, in the numerical value 0 to 9 one is associated with among the radish 240a to 240j each, therefore with for example no matter select among the radish 240a to 240j which, the all immovable selection recreation of the value relevant with payment is such, compare with the recreation that player's participation is irrespectively paid, can produce the effect that changes payment according to player's degree of participation neatly.That is, player's predetermined (deterministic) recreation of correlation of can not paying, and (flexibly) that allow the player freely to select to pay correlation plays.

In addition, determining three figure places (" 7 ", " 5 " and " 1 ") afterwards, for the player shows and unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g and the corresponding numerical value of 240j " 8 ", " 2 ", " 4 ", " 0 ", " 6 ", " 3 " and " 9 ".This clearly shows for the player before in selecting radish 240a to 240j one, and in the numerical value 0 to 9 one is associated with among the radish 240a to 240j each in advance.Promptly, above-mentioned configuration make whenever show with unselected radish 240a, 240b, 240d, 240e, 240f, 240g and the corresponding numerical value of 240j " 8 ", " 2 ", " 4 ", " 0 ", " 6 ", " 3 " and " 9 " in one the time, the player can be the selection happiness or dejected of oneself.

In addition,,, can be hundred 243 and select radish when the number of effective pay lines during more than five according to above-mentioned configuration, and when the number of effective pay lines be five or still less the time, can not be hundred 243 selection radish.That is, for the stake scheduled volume or more the player who is less than scheduled volume with stake compares so that increase the player of the number of pay lines 1 to 30, can improve the expected value of " radish results " payment in playing.

According to above-mentioned configuration, because with the relevant figure place increase of payment in " radish results " recreation, so for stake scheduled volume in slot machine 10 or more so that increase the player of the number of pay lines 1 to 30, the player who is less than scheduled volume with stake compares, and can improve the expected value of the payment in " radish results " recreation.More specifically, when the pay lines of player wager outnumber five the time, handle and proceed to step S389 from step S388, therefore hundred become optional.On the other hand,, handle and proceed to step S392, therefore double figures only is provided from step S388 when the number of the pay lines of player wager is five or still less the time.Therefore, the player obtains based on three-figure payment under the former situation, and the player obtains only based on double-digit payment in the latter case.So, can be stake scheduled volume in slot machine 10 or more, i.e. " radish results " recreation so that the player of the number of increase pay lines 1 to 30 provides favourable mini recreation.

In addition, according to above-mentioned configuration, in each " radish results " game processing, whenever from selecting the formula bonus game when the upgrading in log cabin stage and brick room stage takes place, the expected value of payment improves.More specifically, selecting among the S249 (thatched cottage version) that the formula bonus game handles at the number of the radish 240 that shows on the downside image display panel 141 and to be set to four, in the S269 of log cabin phase process (log cabin version), be set to six, and in the S289 of brick room phase process (brick room version), be set to ten.Be appreciated that thus the number of optional radish 240 increases when the upgrading in stage takes place.When the upgrading in the stage of playing took place, the chance that the player obtains bigger payment amount increased.This makes it possible to provide bigger satisfaction to the player.In addition, can make the player expect the state that the expected value paid increases.

In addition, according to above-mentioned configuration, do not bet scheduled volume or more when increasing the number of pay lines 1 to 30 the player, when the time with the value that order shows with selected radish is associated of 241, ten 242 and hundred 243 of individual positions, in advance at dominant bit, i.e. displayed value " 0 " in hundred 243.This clear and vision ground be illustrated in the slot machine 10 the stake scheduled volume or more the player can receive more favourable payment.
