Abstract
A hit expectation sound is emitted from a speaker in accordance with the kind of prize line on which a predetermined, prizewinning combination of symbols is expected to be arranged. The emitted hit expectation sound is transmitted to a player via sound transmitting holes provided in a lower portion of the machine. Based on the hit expectation sound being heard, the player can recognize on which of a plurality of prize lines the predetermined combination of symbols is expected to be arranged. The player can enjoy his favorite hit expectation sound by causing part of the predetermined combination of symbols to be stopped on the prize line that is associated with his favorite hit expectation sound.
