Abstract: A gaming machine capable of realizing game patterns differing from one another in a bonus game is provided. A main CPU 222 determines symbols to be rearranged by conducting a lottery based on a first symbol determination table in which in free games, probabilities, with each of which predetermined symbols (BONUS symbols) are rearranged on a particular condition (a condition that three or more BONUS symbols are rearranged in a display window 56), are set so as to exceed a predetermined probability and in the next free games subsequent to the game in which the predetermined symbols have been rearranged on the particular condition, determines symbols to be rearranged by conducting a lottery based on a second symbol determination table in which probabilities, with each of which the predetermined symbols are rearranged on the particular condition, are set so as to less than the predetermined probability.

Abstract: A gaming machine capable of realizing game patterns differing from one another in a bonus game is provided. A main CPU 222 selects by conducting a lottery one symbol determination table from a symbol determination table group having a plurality of symbol determination tables (the first to tenth symbol determination tables in a first embodiment, etc.) associated with a plurality of paylines and randomly determines symbols to be rearranged based on the selected one symbol determination table, the plurality of symbol determination tables having probabilities, with each of which a predetermined symbol combination is established on each of said plurality of paylines, is set to be higher than a predetermined probability.

Abstract: A gaming machine capable of realizing game patterns differing from one another in a bonus game is provided. A main CPU 222 determines symbols to be rearranged by conducting a lottery in a basic game; when the symbols rearranged in the basic game meets a predetermined condition (a condition that a combination of the symbols rearranged on a payline is a combination of BELL symbols or SEVEN symbols), shifts the game to free games; upon shifting to the free games, determines symbols to be rearranged based on a symbol determination table by conducting a lottery; and when three or more BELL symbols are rearranged in display regions of a display window 56, continues the free games, and when three or more BELL symbols are not rearranged in the display regions of the display window 56, the free games are terminated and the game is reverted to the basic game.

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. The payout thus determined is then awarded.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gaming machine that is capable of realistically informing a player of a payout rate, via an effective rendering of such a type in which the player is permitted to participate.
