Abstract

In the slot machine 1 , it is provided the reels 3 L, 3 C, 3 R for variably displaying plural kinds of symbols necessary for games and the main control circuit 71 which determines the symbols stopped along the pay line 8 based on the random number value sampled every game and conducts stop control of variable display of the reels 3 L, 3 C, 3 R based on the determined result. The main control circuit 71 conducts stop control of variable display operation of more than two reels which variably display more than two symbols so that any more than two symbols constructing the symbol combination with the predetermined display mode simultaneously stop along the pay line 8 , in a case that the symbol combination stopped along the pay line 8 becomes the predetermined display mode.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A gaming machine comprising: 
 a plurality of variable display devices for variably displaying a plural kinds of symbols;    a stop symbol determination device for determining the symbol stopped along a predetermined line every the variable display device based on a random number value sampled every game; and    a stop control device for conducting stop control of variable display operation of the variable displaying devices based on a determination result determined by the stop symbol determination device;    wherein the stop control device has function to conduct the stop control of the variable display operation of more than two variable display devices variably displaying more than two symbols so that any more than two symbols are simultaneously stopped along the predetermined line, two symbols constructing a predetermined symbol combination with a specific display mode, in a case that the symbols determined by the stop symbol determination device constructs the predetermined symbol combination with the specific display mode.    
   
   
       2 . Th gaming machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a simultaneous stop symbol selection lottery device for selecting any more than two symbols constructing the predetermined symbol combination with the specific display mode corresponding to the specific display mode by a lottery in a case that the predetermined symbol combination stopped along the predetermined line and determined by the stop symbol determination device becomes the specific display mode;    wherein the stop control device has function to conduct the stop control of the variable display operation of more than two variable display devices variably displaying more than two symbols selected by the simultaneous stop symbol selection lottery device so that more than tow symbols selected by the simultaneous stop symbol selection lottery device are simultaneously stopped along the predetermined line.    
   
   
       3 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a secondary game start device for starting a secondary game giving a predetermined award to a player on a condition that the symbol combination stopped along the predetermined line and determined by the stop symbol determination device becomes the specific display mode;    wherein a probability that the secondary game is started by the secondary game start device is set high in a case that the variable display operation of more than two variable display devices variably displaying more than two symbols is controlled and stopped so that any two symbols constructing the predetermined symbol combination with the specific display mode are simultaneously stopped along the predetermined line.    
   
   
       4 . A gaming machine comprising: 
 a plurality of variable display devices for variably displaying plural kinds of symbols;    a stop symbol determination device for determining the symbol stopped along a predetermined line every variable display device based on a random number value sampled every game; and    a stop control device for conducting stop control of variable display operation of the variable display devices based on a determination result determined by the stop symbol determination device;    wherein the stop control device has function to conduct the stop control of the variable display operation of the variable display devices according to a stop order different from an ordinary stop order in a case that a symbol combination stopped along the predetermined line and determined by the stop symbol determination device becomes a specific display mode.    
   
   
       5 . The gaming machine according to  claim 4 , further comprising: 
 a stop order storing device for storing a plurality of stop orders of the variable display devices; and    a stop order selection lottery device for selecting one stop order of the variable display devices among the stop orders stored in the stop order storing device by a lottery in a case that the symbol combination becomes the specific display mode.    
   
   
       6 . The gaming machine according to  claim 4 , further comprising: 
 a secondary game start device for starting a secondary game giving a predetermined award to a player on a condition that the symbol combination becomes the specific display mode;    wherein a probability that the secondary game is started by the secondary game start device is set high in a case that the variable display operation of the variable display devices is controlled and stopped according the stop order different from the ordinary stop order.    
   
   
       7 . A gaming machine comprising: 
 a plurality of variable display devices for variably displaying plural kinds of symbols; and    a stop symbol determination device for determining the symbol stopped along a predetermined line every variable display device based on a random number value sampled every game;    a stop operation device capable for controlling and stopping variable display operation of any more than one variable display device among the variable display devices based on operation by a player in a case that a symbol combination stopped along a predetermined line and determined by the stop symbol determination device becomes a specific display mode; and    a stop control device for conducting stop control of the variable display operation of the variable display devices based on a determination result determined by the stop symbol determination device when the player operates the stop operation device.    
   
   
       8 . The gaming machine according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 a variable display device selection lottery device for selecting any more than one variable display device among the variable display devices, the one variable display device being able to be controlled and stopped by the stop control device according to the operation of the stop operation device by the player in a case that the symbol combination becomes the specific display mode.    
   
   
       9 . The gaming machine according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 a secondary game start device for starting a secondary game giving a predetermined award to the player on a condition that the symbol combination becomes the specific display mode;    wherein a probability that the secondary game is started by the secondary game start device is set high in a case that the variable display operation of more than one variable display device is able to be controlled and stopped according the operation of the stop operation device by the player.
