The probability variation symbol to shift to the probability variation special prize described is displayed.
Whether to display the missing symbols
It is determined by a random number generated (extracted) by the component unit 32. As shown in FIG. 6, the random number generation unit 32
An integer from “0” to “249” is generated, and the random number generation unit 3
When 2 generates a random number “7”, the state is shifted to the special prize state,
At the time of probable change, random numbers "7""57""107""157"
When "207" is generated, the state is shifted to the special prize state. One
In other words, the probability that a special prize will occur at normal time is 1/250.
The probability that a special prize will occur at the time of probability change is 5/250 = 1/5
0. The symbol random number Z stops the change of the variable display section 40.
A variable display symbol to be displayed later is determined. Each symbol random number Z
1, Z2 and Z3 are left variable display symbols (first variable
Display symbol), medium variable display symbol (second variable display symbol) and
Then, a right variable display symbol (third variable display symbol) is determined. The symbol random number at the time of the special prize is set from “0” to “9”.
When the symbol random number Z1 at the time of the special prize is "0"
Is a variable display unit by performing Z1 = Z2 = Z3 processing.
At 40, the same symbol "000" was variably stopped and moved to the special prize state
Run. Similarly, the symbol random numbers at the time of the special prize are "1" and "2".
