The privilege giving unit gives a player a privilege based on symbols determined in a lottery by the lottery unit and on the history data item.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes: a first display; a second display; a processor controlling the first and second displays; and an operation unit for a player to input a start command. A lottery is performed to determine a stop state of symbols. When the start command is input, the first display performs a variable display of a plurality of symbols. A next start command is input starting a next game, whereupon the present game moves to and continues in the second display. The first display then performs the variable display for the next game while the present game is continued in the second display. The second display stops performing the variable display and displays the symbols in the stop state determined by the lottery. A payout of an award to the player is made in accordance with the stop state of the symbols.

Abstract: After electric power of the slot machine is turned on, if the score of credit occurs, rotation of all reels 220 is started on the front panel 4 and various symbols are variably displayed in each of the variable display portions 22 to 24 while being scrolled from the upper direction toward the lower direction. Thereafter, if press operation of the stop buttons 27 to 29 is conducted, the reel corresponding to the stop button pressed is stopped to rotate, thereby three symbols are stopped and displayed in each of the variable display portions 22 to 24. And if the score of credit still exists when three symbols are stopped and displayed in each of the variable display portions 22 to 24, various symbols are again variably displayed in each of the variable display portions 22 to 24 from the upper direction toward the lower direction.

Abstract: A gaming machine includes a bet rate setting device with which a value of game medium per unit bet is set as a bet rate, a setting sound output device outputting a setting sound when the bet rate is set by the bet rate setting device, and a setting sound control device controlling the setting sound, to be outputted from the setting sound output device, depending on the bet rate set by the bet rate setting device.

Abstract: In the slot machine, the lower liquid crystal display 4 on the cabinet 2 arranged in front of the reels 220 in the cabinet 2 is controlled, and if it is determined that the shift effect is executed, the effect display by controlling light transmittance of the lower liquid crystal display 4 (that is, in order that the player can recognize the reels 220 in the cabinet 2, the demonstration effect that the big tree near the house is struck by lightning and the demonstration effect that lightning goes away from the big tree, and the lower liquid crystal display 4 is made transparent or opaque according to blink of lightning) is done while the base game is conducted by utilizing the lower liquid crystal display 4. On the other hand, the reels 220 in the cabinet 2 are concealed except a case that it is determined that the shift effect is executed and a case that the free game is executed by utilizing the reels 220 in the cabinet 2.

Abstract: In the slot machine, the lower liquid crystal display 4 on the cabinet 2, the lower liquid crystal display 4 being arranged in front of the reels 220 in the cabinet 2, is controlled so that the lower liquid crystal display 4 conceals the reels 220 in the cabinet 2, except for a case that the free game utilizing the reels 220 in the cabinet 2 is executed. And when the base game utilizing the lower liquid crystal display 4 on the cabinet 2 shifts to the free game, the shift effect process is conducted on the lower liquid crystal display 4. In the shift effect process, the effect is done by controlling light transmittance of the lower liquid crystal display 4, thereby it is reciprocally repeated the state that the reels 220 in the cabinet 2 can be seen and recognized and the state that the reels 220 in the cabinet 2 cannot be seen and recognized.
