Abstract: When a wild symbol 311a is fixedly displayed, a gaming machine of the present invention preferentially displays a fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a over a symbol 311 rearranged behind the fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a until rearrangement is completed. When the plurality of symbols 311 rearranged including the symbol 311 rearranged behind the fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a satisfy a predetermined relation, the symbol 311 rearranged behind the fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a is preferentially displayed over the fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a. When the predetermined relation is not satisfied, the fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a is preferentially displayed over the symbol 311 rearranged behind the fixedly displayed wild symbol 311a.

Abstract: In a slot machine, symbols are scrolled in plural display areas provided on a display at an execution of a slot game and then stopped in the display areas respectively. Furthermore, if a “JOKER” symbol has come to a stop in a central display area, a “WILD” symbol(s) displayed in the remaining display areas is activated. If a “JOKER” symbol has not come to a stop in the central display area, a “WILD” symbol(s) displayed in the remaining display areas is deactivated. Therefore, since dividends may vary largely according to a symbol displayed in the central display area, a slot machine producing a superior entertainment feature with a “WILD” symbol can be provided.
