To provide a gaming machine that can provide a novel game in which the game progression is varied, a method, and a program for providing a game. In the gaming machine, the symbol blocks Band Bdisplayed in the block display regionmove in the directions Dand D, which intersect in the direction of reel rotation, when moving in the symbol display region. That is, the symbol blocks Band Bare added to the movement in the direction of reel rotation, and also move in a direction orthogonal to the direction of reel rotation. Therefore, compared to a case in which a symbol block moves in the direction of reel rotation, prediction by a player of the positions where the symbol blocks Band Bare finally disposed is difficult.

Heating device, liquid discharge apparatus, and printer

A gaming machine for providing a game to a player is described herein. The gaming machine displays a primary game including a plurality of reels and spins and stops the reels to display the outcome of the primary game. The gaming machine detects a first triggering condition appearing in the outcome of the primary game and responsively initiates a bonus award game upon detecting the first triggering condition, and detects a second triggering condition appearing in the outcome of the primary game and responsively initiates a free game feature upon detecting the second triggering condition.

Gaming machine and methods of providing games to players with a special symbol triggering multiple feature games

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a plurality of head units configured to discharge a liquid, a plurality of sub tanks configured to respectively store the liquid to be supplied to the plurality of head units, and a plurality of upper limit detectors configured to respectively detect upper limits of remaining amounts of liquid in the plurality of sub tanks. At least two of the plurality of upper limit detectors of corresponding at least two of the plurality of sub tanks detect different upper limits of the remaining amounts of liquid in the at least two of the plurality of sub tanks.

Liquid discharge apparatus

A waste liquid collector includes a waste liquid tank, a rotatable member, and a cover. The waste liquid tank is removably inserted in the waste liquid collector, the waste liquid tank configured to collect waste liquid. The rotatable member is configured to rotate with removal or insertion of the waste liquid tank.

Gaming machine, control method for machine, and program for gaming machine with symbol animation across triggered games

To provide a gaming machine, method and program for providing a game that can achieve a game progression more rich in variation than a conventional gaming machine and provide a player with more entertainment value. Providing, on a reel of the gaming machine, a static symbol region that statically displays a symbol selected from a first symbol set, and a dynamic symbol region that, after displaying while varying symbols included in a second symbol set, stops the variation and indicates a predetermined symbol.

Gaming machine, method and program for providing a game

To provide a gaming machine that can provide a new type of game that maintains or improves the interest of a player, and a method and program for providing a game. In the gaming machine, by removing symbols of a particular type and moving a following symbol, the ratio of symbols of types other than the particular type becomes higher in the symbol array formed on the display unit, and it is easier for the symbol array to configure a winning combination. Because the chance of winning is higher after the particular type of symbol is removed in this manner, it is possible to provide a new type of game where the interest of the player can be maintained or improved after the symbols are removed.

When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the gaming machinereplaces some of the plurality of reelsdisplayed on the display unitwith a special reelhaving a symbol arrangement different from the reelsfrom when the reelsstart to spin to when the game result is formed.
