Abstract

Concerning with the slot game, for example, one of the trigger symbols is stopped with the predetermined combination (S11: A), the bonus game with the medium payout is executed (S12). And if it is determined that the continuation condition is realized in the bonus game with the medium payout (S13: YES) , the bonus game with high payout is executed (S15). And as for the slot game, for example, if the other trigger symbol is stopped with the predetermined combination (S11: B), the bonus game with the high payout is executed without executing the bonus game with the medium payout (S15).
