A gaming machine which makes it possible to avoid monotonous game play is provided. At the start of each game play, gaming machine executes processes of: randomly selecting one of symbol random determination tables in which a probability of rearrangement of each symbol on each reel is defined, based on a symbol random determination table determination table in which a probability of random selection of one of the symbol random determination tables for each of the random determination tables; a symbol random determination process of randomly determining symbols to be rearranged based on the selected symbol random determination table; and displaying the determined symbols on a display device by rearranging the reels.

Gaming machine

There is provided a gaming machine capable of providing new gaming characteristics: the number of active lines is changeable to vary a winning probability. A slot machine controls a lower image display panel having a symbol display area in which some of symbols arranged in symbol arrays are respectively rearranged in display blocks in accordance with the game. The slot machine rearranges, on a one to one basis, the symbols in the display blocks arranged in a matrix of M columns by N rows. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the slot machine adds display blocks to the matrix in the symbol display area to form a matrix of M columns by N+&#x3b1; rows, and sets additional active lines in the expanded display frame, the number of the additional active lines being calculated by multiplying the number of the added rows &#x3b1; by a predetermined value.

Gaming machine with expandable symbol matrix

Provided is a gaming machine having a cabinet. Between the back as a back face and the right side face of the sides of the cabinet, the gaming machine has a right end side, which is formed by cutting a plane parallel to the gravitational direction in a manner to join lines spaced at predetermined distances in the individual directions of the back and the right side face from a line of intersection, on which the back and the right side face intersect when extended. The gaming machine also has a left end side between the back and a left side face. Moreover, the right end side and the left end side are symmetric with respect to a plane dividing the cabinet equally to the right and left.

Gaming machine with dice shaking unit performing dice shaking motions with varying amplitudes

It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that offers wider applicability and more enjoyment. To this end, a slot machineconfigured to run a normal game and a free game which develops from the normal game, includes a storage device storing a free game payout table and a normal game payout table, wherein a maximum payout obtainable in the normal game is higher than a maximum payout obtainable in the free game, and a chance of winning the maximum payout in the normal game is higher than a chance of winning the maximum payout in the free game.

Gaming machine for running normal game and free game

Provided is a gaming machine which does not bore the player through reel actions until completion of rearrangement of symbols. Under the condition where predetermined symbols are aligned on a payline when the symbols of a first scroll line of at least one of a plurality of scroll lines are being scrolled and symbols on the remaining second scroll lines are stopped, the gaming machine changes scrolling motion of symbols of the first scroll line.

Gaming machine arranging symbols

Provided is a gaming machine capable of changing a symbol when a predetermined condition is satisfied even though the gaming machine is a type of gaming machine that mechanically drives real reels. The gaming machine drives the reels to show a second symbol and drives the reels to show consecutive first symbols when the second symbol is shown.

Gaming machine that shows consecutive symbols of specific kind

Provided is a gaming machine that can offer various play patterns and payout patterns without giving the player distrust or uncomfortableness. Upon establishment of a bonus trigger, a main CPU conducts a jackpot challenge lottery; if a jackpot is drawn, conducts another lottery to select either one of the prizes, Credit or Jackpot+Credit; if the prize Credit is drawn, pays out a determined amount to be credited; if the prize Jackpot+Credit is drawn, conducts another lottery for a jackpot prize, and pays out the amount corresponding to the drawn prize and the amount to be credited.

Gaming machine having a first display and a second display

A slot machineexecutes the following processes of: (D1) receiving an input of betting of a game medium, (D2) reading, from a RAM, coin reels corresponding to the number of game media having been received in the process (D1) and setting the coin reels to be rearrangeable on the lower image display panel, (D3) as a game, randomly determining symbols and a coinwhich are to be rearranged on the lower image display panel, (D4) executing an effect of scrolling the video reelsand the coin reels and visually changing the coinduring the scroll, and (D5) rearranging the symbols and the coindetermined in the process (D3) on the lower image display paneland awarding a benefit or a special bonus based on a combination of the rearranged symbols and coin

Gaming machine executing game capable of awarding special bonus and method of controlling gaming machine

Provided is a gaming machine that develops games from base games to various types of games and further allows easy pre-estimation of the benefit to be provided to the players. The gaming machine changes games from the first type in the first mode to the second type in the normal mode when a first trigger is completed in a game of the first type in the first mode, changes games from the first type in the first mode to the first type in the second mode when a second trigger is completed in a game of the first type in the first mode, and changes games from the first type in the second mode to the second type in the special mode when a third trigger is completed in a game of the first type in the second mode.

Gaming machine that changes games from first type of games to second type of games
