Abstract: A root portion 7a of a sipe blade 7 that protrudes from a surface 12a of a plaster casting mold 12 is coated with a coating layer 10 of an easily collapsible refractory material. A string-shaped exhaust hole forming member 11 of a casting refractory material is attached to the sipe blade 7 so as to be in contact with the coating layer 10. Molten metal M is poured onto the surface 12a of the plaster casting mold 12 in this state so as to cast a mold with the shape of the surface 12a transferred thereon and with the root portion 7a of the sipe blade 7 cast therein. The coating layer 10 is thereafter removed to form a slit around the root portion 7a of the sipe blade 7. The exhaust hole forming member 11 is also removed to form an exhaust hole communicating with the outside of the piece. Therefore, the slit and the exhaust hole communicate with each other. In this way, a mold provided with an exhaust mechanism can be simply produced.

Abstract: A gaming machine is provided which is capable of causing a player's eye to smoothly move from a main game to a rendering when the rendering is started. When a predetermined number or more of predetermined symbols are displayed on a first display as a result of a first game, a first control signal for displaying on the first display a dice image in a mode of rolling of the dice for determining progress of a second game that is different from the first game is output from a controller to the first display, as triggered by detection of an operation of an operating device by a player. After a first predetermined period of time has elapsed after output of the first control signal has been started, a second control signal for display control to display a dice image in a dice rolling mode on the second display is output from the controller to the second display.

Abstract: In a gaming machine of the present invention, when a base game run in a main control process shifts to a pickup bonus game, a player is able to select any of a plurality of lotus images 210 displayed in a selection screen 209 on a lower image display panel 141. In the pickup bonus game, a plurality of lotus images 210 and a plurality of objects (white orb 231, blue orb 232, red orb 233, green orb 234, END 235, or the like) are randomly associated with one another. After making a selection a plurality of number of times through the control panel 30 or the touch panel 114, a pickup bonus game payout table 192 storing a payout for each type and the number of objects is read out from the RAM 73, and a payout is determined according to the table.
