Gaming machine

Abstract

Disclosed is a gaming machine. In case that a combination of symbols corresponding to RT has been stopped on the activated line in the reel display window frame, the gaming machine of the invention plunges the player into a BB carryover state and pays out a medal in accordance with the combination of symbols corresponding to RT to the player, until a combination of symbols corresponding to BB is stopped on the activated line.

1 . A gaming machine comprising: 
 means for storing information of numerical ranges matched to each of plural combinations, the information having a numerical range matched to a predetermined first combination overlapping all or part of a numerical range matched to a predetermined second combination;    symbol display means for displaying plural symbols;    start signal output means for outputting a command signal to start a unit game in accordance with an operation by a player;    internal winning combination determination means for determining which of the numerical range information stored in the numerical range information storing means a random number value is included in to determine an internal winning combination in the unit game, the determination means simultaneously determining the first and second combinations as an internal winning combination when it is determined that the random number value is included in a numerical range in which the numerical range of the predetermined first combination and the numerical range of the predetermined second combination overlap each other, the random number value being drawn through a random number lottery which is started through a reception of the start signal outputted from the start signal output means;    symbol variation means for receiving the start signal outputted from the start signal output means to vary the symbols to be displayed by the symbol display means;    stop signal output means for outputting a command signal to stop the symbol variation by the symbol variation means in accordance with an operation by the player;    stop control means for carrying out a stop control of the symbol variation by the symbol variation means, based on the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determination means and the stop signal outputted from the stop signal output means; and    means for awarding a benefit in accordance with a corresponding combination to the player when the combination is determined as an internal winning combination of the unit game by the internal winning combination determination means and a combination of symbols corresponding to the determined combination is stopped by the stop control means, the awarding means carrying over the corresponding second combination as the internal winning combination and at the same time awarding a benefit in accordance with the corresponding first combination to the player when the first and second combinations are simultaneously determined as the internal winning combination of the unit game by the internal winning combination determination means and a combination of symbols corresponding to the first combination is stopped by the stop control means.    
   
   
       2 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , the awarding means awards a bonus gaming state in which a bonus game is carried out, as the benefit in accordance with the second combination.  
   
   
       3 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the awarding means awards a re-gaming state of high probability in which a re-game winning occurs in a high probability as compared to a normal gaming state, as the benefit in accordance with the first combination.  
   
   
       4 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising notification means for notifying the player of information representing that the first and second combinations are determined as the internal winning combination of the unit game.  
   
   
       5 . A gaming machine comprising: 
 means for storing information of numerical ranges matched to each of plural combinations, the information having numerical ranges in which predetermined plural first combinations overlap a predetermined second combination, respectively, in different ratios;    symbol display means for displaying plural symbols, the display means displaying a combination of symbols much including same symbols predetermined, among combinations of symbols corresponding to each of the plural first combinations, as it is higher a ratio that the numerical range stored in the numerical range information storing means overlaps the second combination; start signal output means for outputting a command signal to start a unit game in accordance with an operation by a player;    internal winning combination determination means for determining which of the numerical range information stored in the numerical range information storing means a random number value is included in to determine an internal winning combination of the unit game, the determination means simultaneously determining one or some of the plural first combinations and the second combination as an internal winning combination when it is determined that the random number value is included in a numerical range in which information of one or plural numerical ranges of the plural first combinations and the numerical range of the second combination overlap each other, the random number value being drawn through a random number lottery which is started through a reception of the start signal outputted from the start signal output means;    symbol variation means for receiving the start signal outputted from the start signal output means to vary the symbols to be displayed by the symbol display means;    stop signal output means for outputting a command signal to stop the symbol variation by the symbol variation means in accordance with an operation by the player;    stop control means for carrying out a stop control of the symbol variation by the symbol variation means, based on the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determination means and the stop signal outputted from the stop signal output means; and    means for awarding a benefit in accordance with a corresponding combination to the player when the combination is determined as an internal winning combination of the unit game by the internal winning combination determination means and a combination of symbols corresponding to the determined combination is stopped by the stop control means, the awarding means carrying over the corresponding second combination as the internal winning combination and at the same time awarding a benefit in accordance with the corresponding first combination to the player when one or some of the plural first combinations and the second combination are simultaneously determined as the internal winning combination of the unit game by the internal winning combination determination means and a combination of symbols corresponding to one of the first combinations is stopped by the stop control means.    
   
   
       6 . The gaming machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the awarding means awards a bonus gaming state in which a bonus game is carried out, as the benefit in accordance with the second combination.  
   
   
       7 . The gaming machine according to  claim 5 , further comprise notification means for notifying the player of information representing that the first and second combinations are determined as the internal winning combination of the unit game.
