Abstract: A gaming machine runs a normal game, and runs a free game when the right to run the free game is awarded. In the free game, symbols are rearranged on a display device and a benefit is awarded based on a combination of the rearranged symbols, bonus random determination is executed based on a bonus random determination table for a number of times corresponding to the number of specific symbols rearranged, the right to run the bonus game obtained as a result of the bonus random determination is accumulatively stored in the running right stocking area of the storage device, and the bonus random determination is repeated for the awarded number of times of the free game. After the end of the free game, the bonus game is serially executed for the number of times of the bonus game accumulatively stored in the running right stocking area.

Abstract: A display area is provided in which regions for displaying symbols stopped are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The processing of (1-1) stopping symbols in each of the columns and (1-2) determining whether or not a plurality of predetermined symbols are successively stopped among the symbols stopped in the processing of (1-1) are executed. Upon determining in the processing of (1-2) that the plurality of predetermined symbols are successively stopped, a coupled-region animation is produced for the predetermined symbols, the coupled-region animation being produced in a region obtained by coupling regions where the plurality of predetermined symbols are successively stopped.
