Gaming Machine In Which Symbols In A Line Are Rearranged So That All Are Indentical

Abstract

A gaming machine 13 determines a plurality of symbols to be rearranged on a liquid crystal display 30 in a unit game, corresponding to a random number generated. When each of the plurality of symbol groups determined is sequentially arranged, in a case in which a symbol identical with a symbol that has already been rearranged in a display position, among symbols in the display positions adjacent to the symbols thus arranged, is rearranged, the gaming machine 13 rearranges a symbol so as to be identical with the symbol thus arranged in a display position in an extended line extending from the display position at which symbols have already been rearranged toward the display position at which the symbol thus arranged was positioned, and provides an award corresponding to the number of identical symbols rearranged on the display.

1 . A gaming machine comprising:
 a display for variably displaying each of a plurality of symbol groups; and   a controller for executing the following processing of:   (a) generating a random number and starting a unit game;   (b) determining a plurality of symbols to be rearranged on the display in the unit game, corresponding to the random number generated;   (c) variably displaying each of the plurality of symbols displayed on the display;   (d) when each of the plurality of symbol groups determined in the processing of (c) is sequentially arranged, in a case in which a symbol identical with a symbol that has already been rearranged in a display position, among symbols in the display positions adjacent to the symbols thus arranged, is rearranged, rearranging a symbol so as to be identical with the symbol thus arranged in a display position in an extended line extending from a display position at which symbols have already been rearranged toward the display position at which the symbol thus arranged was positioned; and   (e) providing an award corresponding to the number of identical symbols rearranged on the display.   
   
   
       2 . A gaming machine comprising:
 a display for variably displaying each of a plurality of symbol groups; and   a controller for executing the following processing of:   (a) generating a random number and starting a unit game;   (b) determining a plurality of symbols to be rearranged on the display in the unit game, corresponding to the random number generated;   (c) variably displaying each of the plurality of symbols displayed on the display;   (d) when each of the plurality of symbol groups determined in the processing of (c) is sequentially arranged, in a case in which a symbol identical with a symbol that has already been rearranged in a display position, among symbols in display positions adjacent to the symbols thus arranged, is rearranged, rearranging a symbol so as to be identical with the symbol thus arranged in a display position in an extended line extending from the display position at which symbols have already been rearranged toward the display position at which the symbol thus arranged was positioned;   (e) rearranging a corresponding symbol so as to be superimposed on the symbol in the display position where the symbol was rearranged in the display position in the extended line, among the plurality of symbols determined in the processing of (c), and   (f) providing an award corresponding to the number of identical symbols rearranged on the display.   
   
   
       3 . A gaming machine comprising:
 a display for variably displaying each of a plurality of symbol groups; and   a controller for executing the following processing of:   (a) generating a random number and starting a unit game;   (b) determining a plurality of symbols to be rearranged on the display in the unit game, corresponding to the random number generated;   (c) variably displaying each of the plurality of symbols displayed on the display;   (d) when each of the plurality of symbol groups determined in the processing of (c) is sequentially arranged, in a case in which a symbol identical with a specific symbol that has already been rearranged in a display position, among symbols in the display positions adjacent to the symbols thus arranged, is rearranged, rearranging the specific symbol so as to be identical with the specific symbol thus arranged in a display position in an extended line extending from the display position at which symbols have already been rearranged toward the display position at which the symbol thus arranged was positioned; and   (e) providing an award corresponding to the number of identical symbols rearranged on the display.   
   
   
       4 . A gaming machine comprising:
 a display for variably displaying each of a plurality of symbol groups; and   a controller for executing the following processing of:   (a) generating a random number and starting a unit game;   (b) determining a plurality of symbols to be rearranged on the display in the unit game, corresponding to the random number generated;   (c) variably displaying each of the plurality of symbols displayed on the display;   (d) when each of the plurality of symbol groups determined in the processing of (c) is sequentially arranged, in a case in which a symbol identical with a specific symbol that has already been rearranged in a display position, among symbols in the display positions adjacent to the symbols thus arranged, is rearranged, rearranging the specific symbol so as to be identical with the specific symbol thus arranged in a display position in an extended line extending from the display position at which symbols have already been rearranged toward the display position at which the symbol thus arranged was positioned;   (e) rearranging a corresponding symbol so as to be superimposed on the symbol in the display position where the specific symbol was rearranged in the display position in the extended line, among the plurality of symbols determined in the processing of (c), and   (f) providing an award corresponding to the number of identical symbols rearranged on the display.
