Thus, ten additional pay lines including each basic pay line may be set.

In the above embodiment, the number of payouts for winning on the effective basic winning line is doubled when the symbols are aligned on the effective additional winning line, but when the symbols are aligned on the effective basic winning line. Alternatively, the payout number may be increased by multiplying the payout number for winning on the effective basic payout line by a value other than 2 such as 1.5.

When the symbols are aligned on the effective basic pay line, the payout number for winning on the effective basic pay line may be increased. The increase in the number of payouts here is not limited to addition, but also includes, for example, a case where the number of payouts is increased from 10 to 12.

When a specific symbol on the reels 1 and 4 is stopped at one or both of a predetermined position or a plurality of positions in the window 11 and a predetermined position or a plurality of positions in the window 14, an effective basic winning line is set. May be increased by n times (n is a value greater than 1) or by any other method.

Further, when the symbols are arranged on the effective basic winning line, a different type of winning may be won from the combination of symbols on the effective basic winning line.

For example, when the symbols are arranged on the effective additional winning line and the winning for the combination of symbols is a predetermined type of combination in the general game, and when the symbols are arranged on the effective basic winning line, the winning is determined by the general game. Different types of games may be used. In this case, the number of payouts is generally increased.

For example, if the symbols are aligned on the activated additional winning line and the winning for the combination of symbols is a small win (for example, a regular bonus game), and the symbols are aligned on the activated basic winning line, the winning is determined. You may make it a big hit (for example, a big bonus game).

The regular bonus game is a device (hereinafter, referred to as a “continuous operation device”) that is capable of continuously operating “accessories” defined in Article 6 of the “Game Machine Examination Rules”. This is a game executed by the operation of ()). The “casual action device” is activated when a specific symbol combination for operating the continuous action device is displayed. The “Game Machine Approval Regulations” are defined as the “Law Concerning Regulations on Customs Sales and Other Businesses and the Adjustment of Business” (abbreviated as the “Fair Management Law”), Article 20, paragraphs 2, 3, 5 and 5. It means "Rules on the recognition of gaming machines and the verification of model types, etc." defined based on the provisions of paragraph 11.

The big bonus game is a game that is executed by the operation of the "casing machine continuous operation increasing device" defined in Article 6 of the "Gaming Machine Inspection Rules". The “casing machine continuous operation increasing device” is a device that increases the number of combinations of symbols that will cause the machine continuous operating device to operate, as stipulated in Article 6 of the “Gaming Machine Verification Rules” This means that it is activated when a specific symbol combination for operating the accessory continuous operation increasing device is displayed.

Further, when one or both of the predetermined positions in the window 11 and the predetermined one or more positions in the window 14 are stopped, the specific symbols on the reels 1 and 4 are stopped on the effective basic winning line. A different type of prize may be awarded than the prize for the combination of symbols in the above.

For example, when the symbols are arranged on the activated additional winning line and the winning for the combination of symbols is a small hit (for example, a regular bonus game), one or more predetermined positions in the window 11 and in the window 14 The winning may be a big hit (for example, a big bonus game) when the specific symbols on the reels 1 and 4 are stopped at one or both of the predetermined one or a plurality of positions.

Further, when the symbols are aligned on the effective basic winning line and the symbols are aligned on the effective additional winning line,
The winning of the combination of symbols on the effective basic winning line may be set as the current winning, and the appearance probability of the winning may be increased in the next and subsequent games.

For example, if the symbols are aligned on the activated additional winning line and the winning for the symbols on the activated basic winning line is a big bonus game, the appearance probability of the big bonus game is increased in the next and subsequent times. Further, for example, when the symbols are aligned on the effective additional winning line and the hit on the symbol on the effective basic winning line is a winning (role) in a general game, the winning (role) of the type is performed in the next and subsequent times. The appearance probability is increased.

When the symbols are aligned on the effective basic pay line, one or both of predetermined one or more positions in the window 11 and one or more predetermined positions in the window 14
When the specific symbols on the reels 1 and 4 are stopped, a prize for the combination of symbols on the effective basic prize line may be set as the current hit, and the appearance probability of the prize may be increased in the next and subsequent games.
