Abstract
A slot machine having observation windows formed in a 3.times.3 matrix on a front panel. Behind each observation window, a reel is mounted which is rotated by a pulse motor. When a reel stops, one symbol appears in the central area of each observation window. Eight winning lines are provided including three vertical lines, three horizontal lines and two diagonal lines. These winning lines are made valid in accordance with the number of inserted coins. The reels are stopped in a predetermined order. If a combination of symbols on a valid winning line is a winning symbol combination, coins corresponding in number to the rank of the winning symbol combination are paid out.
