Abstract
In a slot machine, when a player actuates a start lever, three reels spin, thereby effecting internal drawing operation and determining a winning combination. When the player actuates stop buttons, predetermined stop control operations are performed. A combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination are achieved along anyone of winning lines. A plurality of image data sets which can be displayed on a liquid-crystal display () are recorded in an image data ROM () provided in a liquid-crystal display unit () of the slot machine. When the player actuates a changeover switch (), switch setting information is sent to a CPU (). An image display LSI () reads out from the image data ROM image data corresponding to the setting information, thereby using the thus-read image data for display contents of the liquid-crystal display.
