Reference numeral 7 is a medal insertion portion, and 8 is an indicator for displaying the number of medals paid out.

Next, the operation will be described. When the game is started by inserting the medal, the rotating body type display devices 2a, 2b, 2c and the electric type display devices 3a, 3b, 3c are activated, and the symbol display portion 2
The symbols displayed via A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B and 3C change. In this case, the hit / miss timing is determined by lottery according to the timing when the signal when the game start operation means 5 is operated is input to the control means (not shown). When the symbol stop operating means is operated, the control means performs the symbol stop processing. This symbol stop process is roughly classified into a process before final stop and a final stop process. In the process before the final stop, the symbol fluctuations of the rotating cylinder type display and the electric type display corresponding to each operation timing when two symbol stop instructing means among the three symbol stop instructing means 4A to 4C are operated. Stop. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the symbol stop instructing means 4A is operated to rotate the cylinder type display 2a and the electric type display 3a.
The symbol "7" is displayed on the symbol display portion 3A by stopping and
Is displayed, and when "7" is displayed on the upper portion of the symbol display portion 2B by operating the symbol stop instruction means 4B to stop the rotating body type display device 2b and the electric type display device 3b, that is, the stop When the symbol display is in the reach state, final stop processing is performed. In the final stop processing, the operation timing of the symbol stop instructing means 4C operated last is compared with the hit-off timing, and when the symbol stop instructing means 4C is operated at the hit timing, it becomes a hit, for example, in FIG. Thus, the rotating cylinder type display 2c is controlled so that "7" is stopped and displayed in the center of the symbol display portion 2C. When the symbol stop instruction means 4C is operated at the disengagement timing, it is disengaged, and "7" is displayed in the center of the symbol display portion 2C.
The rotating cylinder type display 2c is controlled so that the display does not stop.
If the reach state is not reached, the same process as the process before the final stop is performed at the operation timing of the symbol stop instruction means that is finally operated, and the symbols are not aligned and come off.

According to the first embodiment, the rotating cylinder type display 2a,
Display by 2b, 2c and electric display 3a, 3b, 3c
The winning symbol pattern can be displayed in combination with the display. That is, since the symbols displayed on the symbol display portions 2A, 2B, 2C and the symbols displayed on the symbol display portions 3A, 3B, 3C are combined into a winning symbol mode, the player is not confused. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the hit symbol mode can be set so that the same symbols are diagonally aligned in the symbol display unit 3A and the symbol display units 2B and 2C. Therefore, as compared with the case where the hitting pattern mode is set only by the three rotating body type indicators 2a, 2b, 2c, the three rotating body type indicators 2a, 2
Since it is possible to set the hitting pattern mode by the diagonal arrangement as shown in FIG. 1, which cannot be set in b and 2c, it is possible to increase the number of hitting pattern modes and improve the game playability. Further, the symbol display portions 2A, 2B, 2C and the symbol display portions 3A, 3B, 3
Since C and C are provided close to each other, it is easy to confirm the winning symbol pattern. In addition, the rotating body type indicators 2a, 2b, 2c
In this case, in order to remove the design when the hit is not established, the motor must be drive-controlled to remove the design, but as in the first embodiment, the electric indicators 3a, 3 are used.
When the b and 3c are combined, the electric indicators 3a and 3a
It is possible to remove the pattern by controlling b and 3c. In this case, since it is easier than driving and controlling the motor, the symbol control is also easy. Further, the rotating body type display and the electric type display arranged vertically may be stopped in synchronization with an instruction from one symbol stop instructing means, but when the reach state is reached. It is possible to change only the electric display related to the symbol arrangement. For example, when the game is started, the rotating body type indicators 2a, 2b, 2
Only c is changed, the symbol stop instructing means 4C is operated to stop the rotating body type display 2c, the symbol stop instructing means 4B is operated to stop the rotating body type display 2b, and the stop symbol is shown in FIG.
