It is in a non-bonus state. In the non-RT state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table A.

The bonus establishment state is a gaming state in which the winning area "RBB" or the winning area "RBB & all 1 card combination" is won by an internal lottery in the non-RT state, and the RBB is set to the established state. In the bonus establishment state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute the internal lottery using the internal lottery table B.

The RBB operating state is a gaming state (bonus state) that is transferred when the RBB wins a prize. In the RBB operating state, the gaming state transition control means 170 determines whether the ending condition of the operating RBB is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out, and determines a predetermined number of medals to be paid out (for example, 200). When more than one medal is paid out, the bonus state is terminated by ending the operation of the RBB, and the gaming state is shifted to the non-bonus state. In the RBB operating state, the game state transition control means 170 causes the internal lottery means 120 to execute an internal lottery using the internal lottery table C. As shown in FIG. 3, in the internal lottery table C, bell A, bell B, 1-card combination A to 1-card combination H, a winning area "JAC1" for winning a rare role, bell A to bell C, and a chance combination A. -Random numbers are associated with the winning area "JAC2" that wins all the small winning combinations including the chance winning combination L and the winning area "JAC3" that wins all the single winning combinations.

The RBB operating state will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC1", the winning area "JAC2" or the winning area "JAC3" in the RBB operating state in which the internal lottery table C is selected is determined by the internal lottery table A. , The winning area "Batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Batting order bell 12", the winning area "Batting order chance role", the winning area "all 1 card role" in the state where any of the internal lottery table B is selected when the RB is not activated. Or the winning area "rare winning combination", that is, the probability of winning any small winning combination in a gaming state other than the RBB operating state is set. In addition, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC1" in the internal lottery table C is the probability of winning each of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" in the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B. It is set to a higher probability than. Further, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC2" is set to be higher than the probability of winning each of the winning area "Batting order chance combination 1A" to the winning area "Batting order chance combination 6D".

Due to such a configuration, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the RBB operating state, the winning probabilities of all the small winning combinations are higher than in the non-RT state and the bonus established state when the bonus is not activated. As it rises, the probability of winning one of the small wins also rises.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC1" in the RBB operating state is the probability of winning in any of the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 6" (winning area "batting order"). Winning probability of the sum of the winning probabilities of the winning area "Bell 1" to the winning area "Batting order bell 6") and the probability of winning any of the winning area "Batting order bell 7" to the winning area "Batting order bell 12" (Winning area "Batting order bell 12") The probability of winning in any of the winning area "Batting order bell 1" to the winning area "Batting order bell 12" (winning), which is lower than the winning probability of the sum of the winning probabilities of each winning area "Batting order bell 12". It is configured to be lower than the winning probability of the sum of the winning probabilities of the area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12").

Further, in the slot machine 1, the probability of winning the winning area "JAC2" in the RBB operating state is the probability of winning in any of the winning area "batting order chance combination 1A" to the winning area "batting order chance combination 6A" (winning area). "Batting order chance combination 1A" -Winning area "Batting order chance combination 6A" total winning probability), Winning area "Batting order chance combination 1B" -Winning area "Batting order chance combination 6B" (Winning probability of the winning area "Batting order chance role 1B" -Winning area "Batting order chance role 6B"), Winning area "Batting order chance role 1C" -Winning area "Batting order chance role 6C" The probability of winning (the winning probability of the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1C" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 6C") and the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1D" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 6D" It is higher than the probability of winning one of them (the winning probability of the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1D" -the sum of the winning probabilities of the winning area "Batting Order Chance 6D"), and the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1A" -Winning It is configured to be lower than the probability of winning any of the areas "Batting Order Chance 6D" (the winning probability of the winning area "Batting Order Chance 1A" to the winning area "Batting Order Chance 6D" combined). ing.

Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate is less than 100% in the RBB operating state.

Here, in a gaming state other than the RBB operating state, when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 must be pressed in the correct batting order to perform the bell A, Since the structure is such that the bell B cannot be won, the probability that either the bell A or the bell B will be won is when the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 can be pressed in the correct batting order from the six batting orders. Limited. On the other hand, when the AT game in which the winning assistance control is executed by the instruction function control means 200B described later is executed, the correct batting order is notified when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won. Therefore, the probability that either Bell A or Bell B will win can be increased up to 6 times as much as when the winning assistance control is not executed.

As described above, in the first embodiment, two types of bell A and bell B are used as the winning combination (specific combination) for paying out more medals than the specified number of medals to be awarded when the stop operation is performed in the correct batting order. It is set. Then, the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the RBB operating state is compressed to about 1/2 of the probability that the winning mode including the specific combination is obtained in the gaming state other than the RBB operating state. With this configuration, an internal lottery is performed with a mode in which N types of specific winning combinations are won without overlapping each other in a gaming state other than the RBB operating state, and N types of specific winning combinations are duplicated in the RBB operating state. By providing an internal lottery with a mode for winning, the probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in the RBB operating state is about the probability that a winning mode including a specific combination will be obtained in a gaming state other than the RBB operating state. It can be compressed to 1 / N. As a result, the lower limit of the expected value of the medal acquisition rate in the bonus state can be lowered to less than 100%, and then the medal acquisition performance related to the AT game can be designed. The degree of freedom in design can be dramatically improved.

<Direction control means>
In the first embodiment, the effect control means 180 is notified by the winning assistance control when the instruction function control means 200B executes the winning assistance control (for example, the batting order at the time of winning the winning area “batting order bell 1”). The prize-winning auxiliary effect of notifying the notification of 1) by the effect using the effect device 300 is executed. The effect control means 180 executes a winning auxiliary effect of notifying the correct batting order when the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12" are won in the AT state. Further, the effect control means 180 executes a winning auxiliary effect of notifying a specific batting order when the winning area "batting order chance combination" is won in the non-AT state or the CZ state.

<Advantageous period control means and instruction function control means>
FIG. 11B is a state transition diagram showing details of the period controlled by the advantageous period control means 200A and the instruction function state controlled by the instruction function control means 200B of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 11B, the non-advantageous period is a period in which the control related to the instruction function by the instruction function control means 200B based on the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 is not executed. The advantageous period control means 200A is set to have a winning probability of 1/17500 or more in the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 in the game in which the bonus is not activated among the games in the non-advantageous period. When the winning area is won, the advantageous period lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether or not to end the non-advantageous period and start the advantageous period, is executed.

In the advantageous period lottery, the advantageous period control means 200A first, from the advantageous period control data storage means 198 that stores the data related to the advantageous period among the storage means 190, "of the advantageous period" for each of the plurality of random numbers. Acquire the advantageous period transition lottery table, which is a data table associated with "start" and "loss (unwinning)". Then, the advantageous period control means 200A acquires a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous period transition lottery table, and determines whether or not to start the advantageous period based on the comparison result. The advantageous period control data storage means 198 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state by a predetermined control process executed by the advantageous period control means 200A within the advantageous period. The advantageous period control means 200A has a probability of multiplying the winning probability of the winning area won in the internal lottery by the winning probability of "starting the advantageous period" in the advantageous period lottery so as to be 1/17500 or more. Execute a lottery for an advantageous period.

In the advantageous period, the instruction function control means 200B has a non-AT state, a chance zone (CZ) state, and an AT state as states related to the instruction function (instruction function state). The instruction function control means 200B refers to various lottery tables stored in the instruction function control data storage means 199, and executes a process related to the lottery according to each instruction function state.

The non-AT state is set when the advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control means 200A and has not shifted to another instruction function state, and the instruction function corresponding to the normal state among a plurality of types of instruction function states is set. It is a state (normal instruction function state). In the non-AT state, the instruction function control means 200B notifies the specific batting order that enables the chance combination A to the chance combination L to be won when the winning area "batting order chance combination" is won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. Execute the winning auxiliary control.

Further, when the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "batting order chance combination" in the internal lottery and any of the winning chance combination A to chance combination L wins, the instruction function state shifts to the CZ state. Execute a CZ lottery to decide whether or not to do so. If the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "batting order chance combination" in the internal lottery and the winning chance combination A to chance combination L does not win, specifically, the chance combination A to chance combination It is configured so that the CZ lottery is not executed in the case where L is missed (non-winning) and in the case where any of bells A to C wins.

The instruction function control means 200B is a CZ lottery so that the probability of multiplying the winning probability of the winning area won by the internal lottery and the winning probability of "transition to the CZ state" in the CZ lottery is 1/17500 or more. To execute.

Further, the instruction function control means 200B receives 2000 medals when the game of 1200 games is executed after the start of the advantageous period and after the most medals are consumed after the start of the advantageous period in the non-AT state. When the player acquires it, the instruction function state is changed from the non-AT state to the CZ state.

The CZ state is an instruction function state that can be shifted from the non-AT state. In the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B sets a value (for example, 10 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the CZ end determination counter (not shown) of the instruction function control data storage means 199 at the start of the CZ state. , Each time the game is executed, the decrement update is executed by subtracting the stored value of the CZ end determination counter by the value "1" corresponding to one game. The instruction function control means 200B is configured to execute an AT lottery for determining whether or not to determine the execution of the AT state for each game until the game of 10 games is executed in the CZ state. , The state where it is easier to shift to the AT state than the non-AT state where the CZ lottery is executed only when one of the winning chance role A to the chance role L is won in the winning area "Batting order chance role". It has become.

In the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B notifies a specific batting order that enables the chance combination A to the chance combination L to be won when the winning area "batting order chance combination" is won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. Performs winning assistance control. Further, when the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "batting order chance combination" in the internal lottery, and when any of the winning chance combination A to the chance combination L wins, the other winning area is won. Execute a special AT lottery with a higher probability of winning the "transition to AT state" than the AT lottery executed in. If the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "batting order chance combination" in the internal lottery and the winning chance combination A to chance combination L does not win, specifically, the chance combination A to chance combination It is configured to execute the AT lottery instead of the special AT lottery in the case where L is missed (non-winning) and the case where any of bells A to C wins.

If the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery or the special AT lottery by the time the game of 10 games is executed in the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B executes the game of 10 games from the start of the CZ state. After that, the instruction function state is changed from the CZ state to the AT state. On the other hand, if the "transition to the AT state" is not won in the AT lottery or the special AT lottery by the time the game of 10 games is executed in the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B will perform 10 games from the start of the CZ state. After the game of is executed, the instruction function state is changed from the CZ state to the non-AT state. The instruction function control means 200B is configured to shift the instruction function state from the CZ state to the AT state in the game in which the "transition to the AT state" is won in the AT lottery in the CZ state or the special AT lottery. May be good. Further, in the CZ state, the instruction function control means 200B plays 2010 medals when the game of 1210 games is executed after the start of the advantageous period and after the most medals are consumed after the start of the advantageous period. The instruction function state is changed from the CZ state to the AT state when the person acquires it.

The AT state is an instruction function state that shifts when the transition condition to the AT state is satisfied in the non-AT state or the CZ state. In the AT state, the instruction function control means 200B can execute the winning assistance control based on winning the winning area in which the winning combination changes depending on the batting order of the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. It is configured. Here, the winning combinations (specific winning combinations) whose winning probability is increased by the winning assistance control are the winning bells A and B in the winning area "batting order bell 1" to the winning area "batting order bell 12". The instruction function control means 200B is configured not to execute the winning assistance control for notifying the specific batting order when the winning area "batting order chance combination" is won in the internal lottery in the AT state.

The instruction function control means 200B sets an initial value corresponding to the number of games that can be executed in the AT state to the AT state game count counter, which is a counter that counts the number of games executed in the AT state when the AT state is started. It is set, and every time one game is executed, the decrement update that subtracts the stored value of the AT state game count counter with the value "1" corresponding to one game is executed. In the first embodiment, the instruction function control means 200B sets a value "50" as an initial value in the AT state game number counter when the advantageous period is started in the state where the game state is the non-RT state.

Further, in the first embodiment, when the instruction function control means 200B wins the winning area "rare combination" in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the instruction function control means 200B stores the AT state game count counter as control related to the instruction function. By deciding whether or not to add the value determined by the lottery to the value, the additional lottery for determining whether or not to add (add) the period during which the AT state continues is executed.

When the stored value of the AT state game count counter becomes a value "0" in the AT state, that is, when the AT state ends, the advantageous period control means 200A determines that the normal end condition is satisfied, and determines the advantageous period. It ends and controls it in a non-advantageous period, and also executes the end process. By executing the termination process, in the slot machine 1, the data updated during the advantageous period included in the advantageous period control data storage means 198 (for example, the stored value of the advantageous period game number counter) and the instruction function control data. The data updated during the advantageous period included in the storage means 199 (for example, the stored value of the AT state game count counter) and the data are initialized.

3. 3. Details at the time of winning the winning area "batting order chance combination" Next, in the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment, the reel control means 130 when the winning area "batting order chance combination" is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. The details of the reel stop control and the details of the control related to the instruction function executed by the instruction function control means 200B at the time of winning the chance combination A to the chance combination L will be described.

<When the stop button is pressed in a specific batting order>
FIG. 12 shows a reel by the reel control means 130 when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1 which is the specific batting order in which the winning area “batting order chance combination 1A” is won and the chance combination A can be won. It is a figure explaining the stop control.

When the winning area "Batting order chance combination 1A" is won, the reel control means 130 displays the winning symbol combination of chance combination A, bell C, 1-card combination A to 1-card combination C on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control. It is configured to be possible. When the stop switch 240 detects that the first stop operation has been performed on the stop button B1, the reel control means 130 stops and displays the bell symbol "BL" on the effective line L1. Chance role A's winning symbol combination "BL-WM-Red 7" where cards are paid out, and Bell C's winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BL" where 9 cards are paid out when a prize is won. One piece of winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BKB" is paid out when one piece is paid out, and one piece of winning symbol combination "BL-BKB" is paid out when one piece is won. -BL "and can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. Further, the reel control means 130 wins a prize by displaying the blank B symbol "BKB" on the effective line L1 when the stop switch 240 detects that the first stop operation has been performed on the stop button B1. In this case, the winning symbol combination "BKB-BL-BL" of the one-card combination C, in which one piece is paid out, can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1.

Therefore, the reel control means 130 constitutes the bell symbol "BL-WM-red 7" of the winning symbol combination "BL-WM-red 7" of the chance combination A, which is the 10-card with the largest number of payouts when the number of sheets is prioritized and the prize is won. The reel stop control for displaying the stop display of "BL" on the effective line L1 is executed, and the bell symbol "BL" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the first reel R1.

When the stop switch 240 detects that the second stop operation has been performed on the stop button B2 while the bell symbol "BL" is stopped and displayed in the middle of the first reel R1, the reel control means 130 uses the watermelon symbol "WM". By stopping and displaying on the effective line L1, the winning symbol combination "BL-WM-Red 7" of the chance role A, in which 10 cards are paid out when a prize is won, can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. By stopping and displaying the symbol "BL" on the effective line L1, 9 cards will be paid out when a prize is won, and the winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BL" of Bell C and 1 card will be paid out when a prize is won. The winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BKB" of the one-card combination A and the blank B symbol "BKB" can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. It becomes possible to stop and display the winning symbol combination "BL-BKB-BL" of the one-card combination B, in which one is paid out when a prize is won, on the effective line L1.

Therefore, the reel control means 130 constitutes the watermelon symbol "BL-WM-red 7" of the winning symbol combination "BL-WM-red 7" of the chance combination A, which is the 10-card with the largest number of payouts when the number of sheets is prioritized and the prize is won. The reel stop control for displaying the stop display of "WM" on the effective line L1 is executed, and the watermelon symbol "WM" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the second reel R2. As a result, in the slot machine 1, the winning combination in this game is limited to the chance combination A.

FIG. 13 shows the chance combinations A to D having a winning symbol combination in which the bell symbol “BL” is included in the first reel R1 and the watermelon symbol “WM” is included in the second reel R2 among the chance combinations A to L. It is a figure which shows. As shown in FIG. 13, in each of the winning symbol combinations of the chance combination A to the chance combination D, the bell symbol "BL" is included in the first reel R1 and the watermelon symbol "WM" is included in the second reel R2. .. The winning symbol combinations of the chance combination A to the chance combination D have different symbols on the third reel R3.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 13, the pressing timing for winning the chance combination A is from the blank A symbol “BKA” of the stop number 17 of the third reel R3 to the red 7 symbol “red 7” of the stop number 13. Is pressed at the timing when the stop button B3 is rotated and displayed on the effective line L1, and 5 of the 20 symbols arranged on the peripheral surface of the 3rd reel R3 are displayed. It is the timing. Further, the pressing timing for enabling the chance combination B to win is that the blank A symbol "BKA" of the stop number 7 of the third reel R3 to the star A symbol "STA" of the stop number 3 are rotated and displayed on the effective line L1. This is the case where the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing at which the stop button B3 is pressed, and the symbol of 5 frames out of the symbols of 20 frames arranged on the peripheral surface of the third reel R3 is displayed. Further, as for the pressing timing for enabling the chance combination C to win, the blank A symbol "BKA" of the stop number 12 of the third reel R3 to the cherry symbol "CH" of the stop number 8 are rotated and displayed on the effective line L1. This is the case where the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the stop button B3 is pressed, and the symbols of 5 frames out of the symbols of 20 frames arranged on the peripheral surface of the third reel R3 are displayed. Then, the pressing timing for enabling the chance combination D to win is the blank A symbol "BKA" of the stop number 2 of the third reel R3 to the replay symbol "RP" of the stop number 0, and the watermelon symbol "RP" of the stop number 19. This is the case when the stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the blank B symbol "BKB" of the stop number 18 "WM" is rotated and displayed on the effective line L1, and is arranged on the peripheral surface of the third reel R3. This is the timing when 5 frames out of 20 frames are displayed.

In this way, among the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the chance combination A to the chance combination D, the symbols arranged on the third reel R3 are arranged at positions where the pressing timings of the stop buttons B3 that enable winning are not overlapped. At the same time, the pressing timing at which the prize can be won is set to be within the range in which the symbols of 5 frames out of 20 frames are arranged.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the winning area "batting order chance combination 1A" including the chance combination A, the winning area "batting order chance combination 3A", and the winning area including the chance combination B "batting order chance combination 1B", Winning area "Batting order chance role 3B", winning area including chance role C "Batting order chance role 1C", winning area "Batting order chance role 3C", winning area including chance role D "Batting order chance role 1D", winning area The "batting order chance combination 3D" is set to the batting order in which the third stop operation is executed on the stop button B3 for each specific batting order.

Therefore, in the chance combination A to the chance combination D, when the second stop operation is completed, the bell symbol "BL" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the first reel R1, and the middle stage of the second reel R2. The watermelon symbol "WM" is stopped and displayed, and the player cannot determine which of the chance combination A to the chance combination D has been won. Then, in the winning symbol combination of the chance combination A to the chance combination D, the number of frames that can be stopped is set to 5 out of 20 frames for the symbols arranged on the third reel R3, and the timings that can be stopped overlap with each other. It is set to the timing not to.

With such a configuration, the odds of winning the chance combination A to the chance combination D are arranged on the third reel R3 at the time of winning and when the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a specific batting order. Since it is the timing when 5 frames out of the 20 frames are displayed on the effective line L1, the prize is won with a probability of 1/4.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 10, the winning symbol combination of the chance combination E to the chance combination H is composed of the symbols common to each other for the first reel R1 and the third reel R3, and the second reel. Regarding R2, the number of frames that can be stopped is set to 5 out of 20 frames, and the timing that can be stopped is set to a timing that does not overlap with each other. It is configured to be executed in. Further, the winning symbol combination of the chance combination I to the chance combination L is composed of symbols common to each other for the first reel R1 and the third reel R3, and the number of frames that can be stopped is 20 for the first reel R1. It is composed of different symbols set to 5 frames in the frame and set to timings at which the stoptable timings do not overlap with each other, and the third stop operation is executed by the stop button B1 for a specific batting order.

Due to such a configuration, each of the chance combination A to the chance combination L has a winning probability of 1/4. Therefore, in the slot machine 1, if the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a specific batting order at the time of winning the winning area "batting order chance combination", 10 medals are paid out with a probability of 1/4. Since it will be missed (non-winning) with a probability of 3/4, the net increase number, which is the average value of the difference between the number of medals that can be obtained in one game and the number of medals to be inserted, is -0.5. Become.

<When the stop button is pressed in a batting order different from the specific batting order>
FIG. 14 shows a reel when the first stop operation is executed on the stop button B2 as a batting order different from the batting order 1 which is a specific batting order in which the winning area “Batting order chance combination 1A” is won and the chance combination A can be won. It is a figure explaining the reel stop control by a control means 130.

When the winning area "Batting order chance combination 1A" is won, the reel control means 130 displays the winning symbol combination of chance combination A, bell C, 1-card combination A to 1-card combination C on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control. It is configured to be possible. When the stop switch 240 detects that the first stop operation has been performed on the stop button B2, the reel control means 130 stops and displays the watermelon symbol "WM" on the effective line L1 to win the chance combination A. One winning symbol combination of the symbol combination "BL-WM-Red 7" can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. Further, when the stop switch 240 detects that the first stop operation has been performed on the stop button B2, the reel control means 130 stops and displays the bell symbol "BL" on the effective line L1 to display the bell C. Three pieces, the winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BL", the winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BKB" of the one-card combination A, and the winning symbol combination "BKB-BL-BL" of the one-card combination C. The winning symbol combination can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1. Then, when the stop switch 240 detects that the first stop operation has been performed on the stop button B2, the reel control means 130 stops and displays the blank B symbol "BKB" on the effective line L1 to display one sheet. The winning symbol combination "BL-BKB-BL" of the winning combination B can be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1.

Therefore, the reel control means 130 executes the number priority control, and the winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BL" of the bell C, the winning symbol combination "BL-BL-BKB" of the one-card combination A, and 1 Reel stop that stops and displays the bell symbol "BL" that makes it possible to stop and display the winning symbol combination "BKB-BL-BL" of the sheet combination C and the three winning symbol combinations on the effective line L1. The control is executed, and the bell symbol "BL" is stopped and displayed in the middle stage of the second reel R2.
