Filed: 2007-07-25
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine which can increase excitement and enjoyment associated with the shift to the game state advantageous for players while restricting the housing capacity of table data used in the control of deriving the result of display along with the diversified result of display on a variable display device.  <P>SOLUTION: If a winning lottery results in symbol combinations containing a drop combination, a CPU 41a carries out a control of stopping the winning combination by a table system or a table+control system for all of the first-third stoppage. If the winning lottery results in the symbol combination without failure, such as big bonuses (4) and (5), the CPU 41b carries out the control of stopping the winning combination for the first stoppage alone by the table system or the table+control system and carries out the stop control after the second stoppage. In addition, when the big bonus (4) or (5) is won, the CPU 91a continues the performance for the game state theretofore instead of the performance for showing the winning of the big bonus. After the shift to the big bonus (4) or (5) a notification is made by a performance for the bonus notification to the effect that the shift is performed to the big bonus (4) or (5) before the end of the notification time.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
