Abstract:
A game machine includes a display device that displays a game screen in which virtual reels formed by symbols are arranged so as to correspond one-to-one to cells as symbol stop positions. And, a game machine determines the symbol to stop in each cell through drawing, and controls a movement to change the symbol and a stop of the movement for each virtual reel based on a drawing result. Furthermore, a game machine determines a number of specific symbols that stop in the cells, and controls a movement of each virtual reel, which causes the specific symbols to appear in the cells, as one virtual reel group and a stop of the movement in units of virtual reel group.

Claim (Index 1):
A game machine, comprising:\n a display configured to display a plurality of symbol cells displayed in a grid, the grid having a plurality of virtual reel strips, each virtual reel strip including a plurality of game symbols; and a controller connected to the display, the controller configured to randomly replace at least two of the virtual reel strips with an identical virtual reel strip, the controller further configured to spin and stop the virtual reel strips forming an outcome and to pay an award for a winning symbol combination in the outcome, the outcome including a game symbol in each cell, wherein the controller synchronously spins and stops the virtual identical reel strips to indicate the same game symbol in the outcome.
