Specifically, referring to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190, the first reels R1 to R1 corresponding to the press timings of the stop buttons B1 to B3 (mode of stop operation) and the like. The stop position of the third reel R3 is determined, and control is performed to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 at the determined stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to the stop operation of the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 corresponds to the stop operation of the second reel R2, and the stop button B3 Pressing corresponds to a stop operation of the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  Here, in the stop control table, the position (pressing detection position) of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (when the pressing operation of each button of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is detected), Correspondence with the actual stop position (or the number of sliding frames from the pressed detection position) of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is set. In the present embodiment, a stop control table is provided for determining the stop positions of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 including a photosensor, and the reel control unit 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel rotates once. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the step motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index). ing. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the stop control table, when the lottery flags associated with two or more different combinations are set in the winning state, each reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 according to the priority order determined for each combination. And the actual correspondence position of each reel is set. In particular, in the present embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> big bonus> small role”, and the reel control means 130 has a case where the lottery flags regarding two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state. In accordance with the priority order set for each winning combination, the symbols constituting the winning pattern of the winning combination with the higher priority are displayed on the winning determination line in preference to the symbols forming the winning pattern of the winning combination with the lower priority. Control to stop the reel is performed. When a lottery flag associated with two or more kinds of small roles is set to a winning state, priority is set according to a predetermined payout for each small role, and the higher the payout is, The priority is set to be higher.

  The reel control means 130 performs so-called pull-in processing and kick-out processing as control for stopping the reel. The pull-in process is a control process for stopping the reel so that the symbol corresponding to the combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state is stopped on the winning determination line (so that the winning combination can be won). It is. On the other hand, the kicking process means that the reel corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state does not stop on the valid winning determination line (so that the non-winning combination cannot be won) This is a control process to be stopped. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag setting state, the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3, the pressing order, and the stop position of the reels that have already stopped (display symbols) in order to realize the pull-in processing and kicking processing. The stop control table is set so that the stop position of each reel changes in accordance with the In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Control is performed to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. Control state is set. That is, in the stop control table for determining the stop position of each rotating reel, the number of frames required from when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed until each reel R1 to R3 stops is in the range of 0 to 4 frames ( (Predetermined pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the button is pressed, the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is determined to win if it is located within the range of 0 to 4 frames relative to the display position (upper, middle, lower) on the winning determination line. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 194 of the storage unit 190, the winning determination line that is valid when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the combination of symbols that are stopped at the time is a predetermined winning combination.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a red 7 symbol (special symbol) “red 7” and a white 7 symbol are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. (Special symbol) “White 7”, BAR symbol (special symbol) “BAR”, Replay symbol (common symbol) “RP”, Bell symbol (normal small character symbol) “BL”, Cherry symbol “CH”, etc. are arranged ing. Then, depending on the combination of symbols displayed on the winning determination line when each reel is stopped, as shown in FIG. 5, a big bonus (BB), replay, cherry, bell (ordinary small role), special small role A winning determination table is prepared so that the presence / absence of winnings of 1 to 9 special bonuses can be determined. Note that “ANY” in the symbol combination indicating the winning type of cherry shown in FIG. 5 indicates that any symbol arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the reel may be used.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a winning combination is won based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140, a winning process is executed. As the winning process, a process for paying out medals, a replay process, a process for shifting a game state, and the like are executed. For example, when a small combination wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process. When a replay wins, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process, and when a big bonus is won. Processing for shifting the gaming state is performed by the gaming state transition control means 170.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small combination wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a payout preset for each combination, and the determined number of medals to be paid out is determined by the hopper unit 320 (payout device). ) Is instructed. When a plurality of small combinations wins in one game, the total payout of each winning small combination is set as the number of medals paid out in the game.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  If credits (internal storage) of medals are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the storage unit 190 (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals. In the present embodiment, no payout is set for replay and big bonus (BB), and when the replay or BB wins as a result of the game, the hopper unit 320 does not pay out medals. Then, a process (0 sheet process) is performed in which formally 0 medals are paid out.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when a replay is won, a medal with the same specified number of insertions as the previous game is automatically put into the inserted state without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). The set automatic insertion process is performed, and the game machine waits for the rotation start operation (the press operation of the start lever SL by the player) in the next game with the same winning determination line as that of the previous game enabled. Is set.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 performs control for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the BB establishment state, and the BB state. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are established, transitioning the gaming state to another gaming state based on the fact that one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied Can do.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the BB establishment state is possible. Further, in the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table A in which BB, small role, and replay are set as internal lottery targets.

  The BB establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the BB is won in the internal lottery. In the BB establishment state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table B in which BB is excluded from the internal lottery targets. In the BB establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to BB is maintained in the winning state until BB wins.

  The BB state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination “red 7, red 7, red 7” indicating the BB winning form is displayed on the winning determination line in the BB established state. In the BB state, BB and replay are excluded from the internal lottery targets, and an internal lottery is performed with reference to the lottery table C in which the winning probability of the bell is set higher than that in the normal state and the BB established state.

  The BB state continues until the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game exceeds a predetermined payout upper limit (for example, a predetermined number of 465 or less), and medals exceeding the payout upper limit. When the is paid out, control is performed to end the BB state and return the gaming state to the normal state.

  The effect control means 180 uses a display device 330 (an example of an effect device) such as a lamp, LED, or liquid crystal display based on the effect data selected with reference to the effect table stored in the effect table storage means 195. Control relating to the sound effect to be performed using the display effect to be performed and the sound device 340 (an example of the effect device) is performed. Specifically, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of various game events such as insertion of medals, operations on the bet button B0, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, changes in game state, By changing the display content of the liquid crystal display LCD or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is boosted or effect control is performed to assist the game.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 performs control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute an effect of notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 under a predetermined condition. Specifically, a special lottery group consisting of two or more types of special small roles overlaps with the bell and wins the production lottery and stops on the liquid crystal display LCD based on winning the production lottery. Control is performed to display an effect image informing the pressing order of the buttons B1 to B3. In addition, you may make it alert | report the pressing order of stop button B1-B3 by making a lamp light, and you may make it output the audio | voice which alert | reports the pressing order of stop button B1-B3 from a speaker.

  Note that the functional block configuration of the present embodiment can also be applied to a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, the function is realized by downloading a program that causes the computer to function as the game control means 100 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or DVD or a Web server on the Internet via a network. be able to. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements, and these device units virtually function their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Next, the features of the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be specifically described.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 and the third reel R3, a red 7 symbol “red 7”, a white 7 symbol “white 7”, and a BAR symbol “BAR” Are arranged at intervals of 6 frames so that they do not exist within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames. For this reason, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 and the pressing timing of the stop button B3, the upper or lower row that is the display position on the winning determination line for the first reel R1 and the third reel R3. On the other hand, any one of the red 7 symbol “red 7”, the white 7 symbol “white 7”, and the BAR symbol “BAR” can be displayed alternatively.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of bell symbols “BL” are arranged at intervals of 6 frames on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 and the third reel R3. A plurality of bell symbols “BL” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of the reel R2. For this reason, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the upper or lower stage, which is the display position on the winning determination line for the first reel R1 and the third reel R3, regardless of the pressing timing of each of the stop buttons B1 and B3. Any one of the plurality of bell symbols “BL” can be displayed, and the middle position which is the display position on the winning determination line for the second reel R2 regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B2. On the other hand, any one of a plurality of bell symbols “BL” can be displayed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of replay symbols “RP” are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Yes. For this reason, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, any of the plurality of replay symbols “RP” is displayed with respect to the display position on an arbitrary winning determination line for each reel regardless of the pressing timing of each of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Can be displayed.

  And in the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the display symbols of the first reel and the display symbols of the third reel in each of the symbol combinations indicating the winning styles of the special bonus 1 to the bonus 9 The red 7 symbol “red 7”, the white 7 symbol “white 7”, and the BAR symbol “BAR” are composed of two symbols of the same type or two symbols of different types, and the display symbol of the second reel is Common to the replay symbol “RP”.

  In the present embodiment, the following internal lottery is performed based on such a reel symbol arrangement and a symbol combination setting indicating a winning combination.

  First, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the special small roles 1 to 9 are classified into three types of special small roles in which the display symbol of the first reel R1 is common among the symbol combinations indicating the winning form. (Special small role group A to special small role group C) and three types of special small role groups (special small role group D to special small role) that have the same symbol as the third reel R3 in the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern. Group F), and a total of these six types of special small role group A to special small role group F perform an internal lottery so that they overlap with Bell.

  In the present embodiment, among the special small role group A to special small role group F, the special small role group A to special small role group C having the same display pattern of the first reel R1 are won in duplicate with the bell. The first reel according to the order in which the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the case where the special small role group D to the special small role group F having the same display symbol on the third reel R3 are won as the bell. A method of changing the stop mode of R1 to the third reel R3 is adopted.

  For example, in the case where special small combination 1 to special small combination 3 constituting the special small combination group A overlap with the bell, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped as follows. Special small roles 4 to 6 that make up special small role group B overlap with Bell, or special small roles 7 to 9 that make up special small role group C overlap with Bell In the case of winning, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped by the same method as when the special bonus 1 to special bonus 3 constituting the special bonus group A are overlapped with the bell. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.

  First, when the stop button B1 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B2 and B3 in order to stop the first reel R1 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 first, the bell symbol “BL” or the red 7 symbol is displayed. The first reel R1 is stopped so that “red 7” is displayed at the upper or lower level, which is the display position on the winning determination line for the first reel R1. At this time, when both the bell symbol “BL” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” are within the pull-in range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B1 is pressed, The first reel R1 is stopped so that the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed in the upper or lower row in preference to the special symbol 1 to 3 in favor of the winning prize and the bell symbol “BL”. Let However, if the bell symbol “BL” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” are both within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B1 is pressed, the red 7 pattern The first reel R1 may be stopped so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper or lower stage in preference to “Red 7”.

  Subsequently, when the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed, the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped as follows.

  For the second reel R2, when the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper or lower row for the first reel R1, the bell symbol “BL” is the display position on the winning determination line for the second reel R2. When the second reel R2 is stopped so as to be displayed in the middle row, and the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed in the upper or lower row for the first reel R1, the replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the middle row. Then, the second reel R2 is stopped.

  For the third reel R3, when the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper or lower row for the first reel R1, the bell symbol “BL” is displayed at the display position on the winning determination line for the third reel R3. When the third reel R3 is stopped so as to be displayed at a certain upper or lower level, and the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed at the upper or lower level for the first reel R1, the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed. Of the white 7 symbol “White 7” and the BAR symbol “BAR”, when the stop button B3 is pressed, the symbols that are within the range of 0 to 4 frames with respect to the upper level or the lower level are displayed in the upper level or the lower level. Then, the third reel R3 is stopped.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the special small roles 1 to 3 constituting the special small role group A overlap with the bell, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are selected. In the rotating state, by pressing the stop button B1 prior to the stop buttons B2 and B3, either the bell or the special small roles 1 to 3 can be surely won regardless of the timing of pressing each stop button. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the stop button B3 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B1 and B2 in order to stop the third reel R3 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 first, the special small part 1 is more than the winning of the bell. Priority is given to the special small role 3 winning, among the red 7 symbol “red 7”, the white 7 symbol “white 7”, and the BAR symbol “BAR”, when the stop button B3 is pressed, 0 frames for the upper or lower level The third reel R3 is stopped so that symbols existing within the pull-in range of ˜4 frames are displayed in the upper stage or the lower stage.

  Subsequently, when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed, the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 are stopped as follows.

  For the first reel R1, when the stop button B1 is pressed, the red 7 symbol “red 7” exists only within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper row or the lower row. The first reel R1 is stopped so that “red 7” is displayed in the upper row or the lower row.

  If the red 7 symbol “red 7” does not exist within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B1 is pressed, the first reel R1 is stopped as follows. Let For example, when the stop button B1 is pressed prior to the stop button B2, the winning combination of the second reel R2 that stops at the end can avoid the winning combination, so the white 7 symbol “white 7” and the BAR The first reel R1 is stopped so that symbols existing in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper row or the lower row of the symbols “BAR” are displayed on the upper row or the lower row. In this way, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for winning the special small role until all reels stop. Further, for example, when the stop button B1 is pressed after the stop button B2, the first reel so that the white 7 symbol “white 7” and the BAR symbol “BAR” are not displayed at any of the upper and lower display positions. R1 is stopped.

  For the second reel R2, when the stop button B2 is pressed prior to the stop button B1, the second reel R2 is stopped so that the replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the middle stage, but the stop button B2 Is pressed after the stop button B1, the symbol to be displayed in the middle row is changed according to the possibility of winning a special small combination 1 to special small combination 3. In this way, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for winning the special small role until all reels stop. For example, when the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed in the upper row or the lower row for the first reel R1, the possibility of winning a special small role 1 to special small role 3 remains. The second reel R2 is stopped so that “RP” is displayed in the middle row. Further, for example, when the white 7 symbol “white 7” or the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed in the upper or lower row for the first reel R1, in order to avoid winning the special small role 4 to the special small role 9, The second reel R2 is stopped so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the middle.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the special small roles 1 to 3 constituting the special small role group A overlap with the bell, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are selected. When the stop button B3 is pressed before the stop buttons B1 and B2 in the rotating state, the red 7 pattern “red” is within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B1 is pressed. Only in the case where “7” exists, any one of the special small roles 1 to 3 can be won.

  Next, in the case where the special small role 1, special small role 4, and special small role 7 constituting the special small role group D overlap with the bell, the first reel R1 to the third reel are as follows. R3 is stopped. In addition, special small role 2, special small role 5, and special small role 8 that make up special small role group E are won by overlapping with Bell, special small role 3 that makes up special small role group F, special small role When combination 6 and special combination 9 are won with Bell, special combination 1, special combination 4 and special combination 7 that make up special combination group D overlap with Bell Since the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped by the same method as that described above, detailed description is omitted.

  First, in order to stop the first reel R1 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 first, when the stop button B1 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B2 and B3, the special small part 1 rather than the winning of the bell. Priority is given to winnings of special small role 4 and special small role 7, and the upper row or the lower row of the red 7 symbol “red 7”, white 7 symbol “white 7”, and BAR symbol “BAR” when the stop button B1 is pressed or The first reel R1 is stopped so that symbols existing in the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the lower row are displayed on the upper or lower row.

  Subsequently, when the stop buttons B2 and B3 are pressed, the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 are stopped as follows.

  For the second reel R2, when the stop button B2 is pressed prior to the stop button B3, the second reel R2 is stopped so that the replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the middle stage, but the stop button B2 When the button is pressed after the stop button B3, the symbol to be displayed in the middle row is changed according to the possibility of winning the special small combination 1, special small combination 4, or special small combination 7. In this way, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for winning the special small role until all reels stop. For example, when the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed on the upper or lower row for the third reel R3, the possibility of winning the special small role 1, special small role 4, or special small role 7 remains. Therefore, the second reel R2 is stopped so that the replay symbol “RP” is displayed in the middle stage. Further, for example, when the white 7 symbol “white 7” or the BAR symbol “BAR” is displayed in the upper row or the lower row for the third reel R3, the special small role 2, the special small role 3, the special small role 5, In order to avoid winning of the small combination 6, special small combination 8, and special small combination 9, the second reel R2 is stopped so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the middle stage.

  As for the third reel R3, the red 7 symbol only when the red 7 symbol “red 7” exists within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B3 is pressed. The third reel R3 is stopped so that “red 7” is displayed in the upper row or the lower row.

  When the stop button B3 is pressed, if the red 7 symbol “red 7” does not exist within the drawing range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage, the third reel R3 is stopped as follows. Let For example, when the stop button B3 is pressed prior to the stop button B2, the winning combination of the second reel R2 that stops at the end can avoid the winning combination, so the white 7 symbol “white 7” and the BAR The third reel R3 is stopped so that symbols in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper or lower row of the symbols “BAR” are displayed on the upper or lower row. In this way, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for winning the special small role until all reels stop. Further, for example, when the stop button B3 is pressed after the stop button B2, the third reel so that the white 7 symbol “white 7” and the BAR symbol “BAR” are not displayed in any of the upper and lower display positions. R3 is stopped.

  As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the special small combination 1, special small combination 4 and special small combination 7 constituting the special small combination group D overlap with the bell, the first reel R1 When the stop button B1 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B2 and B3 while the third reel R3 is rotating, within the pull-in range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B3 is pressed. Only when the red 7 symbol “red 7” is present, any of the special small role 1, the special small role 4 or the special small role 7 can be won.

  On the other hand, when the stop button B3 is pressed prior to the stop buttons B1 and B2 to stop the third reel R3 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 first, the bell symbol “BL” or the red 7 symbol The third reel R3 is stopped so that “red 7” is displayed at the upper or lower level, which is the display position on the winning determination line for the third reel R3. At this time, if both the bell symbol “BL” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” are within the pull-in range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage when the stop button B3 is pressed, Prioritize the winnings of Special Pocket 1, Special Pocket 4 and Special 7 over winning, so that the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed in the upper or lower row in preference to the bell symbol “BL”. The third reel R3 is stopped. However, when the stop button B3 is pressed, if both the bell symbol “BL” and the red 7 symbol “red 7” are within the pull-in range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper stage or the lower stage, the red 7 pattern The third reel R3 may be stopped so that the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper or lower stage in preference to “Red 7”.

  Subsequently, when the stop buttons B1 and B2 are pressed, the first reel R1 and the second reel R2 are stopped as follows.

  For the first reel R1, when the bell symbol “BL” is displayed in the upper or lower row for the third reel R3, the bell symbol “BL” is the display position on the winning determination line for the first reel R1. When the first reel R1 is stopped so as to be displayed in the upper or lower stage and the red 7 symbol “red 7” is displayed in the upper or lower column for the third reel R3, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, Of the white 7 symbol “White 7” and the BAR symbol “BAR”, when the stop button B1 is pressed, the symbols that are within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the upper row or the lower row are displayed in the upper row or the lower row. Thus, the first reel R1 is stopped.
