Patent number: 9898899Abstract: Probability of prize occurrence is easily controlled without provision of a blank between symbols on a reel. A gaming machine comprises: a lower image display panel configured to variably display a plurality of symbol arrays with a plurality of symbols including normal symbols and specific symbols more advantageous than the normal symbols, and then display a game result by rearranging the symbols in a symbol display region containing a matrix of cells; bet buttons capable of receiving a bet; and a controller configured to run a normal game which rearranges symbols on the symbol display device on condition that a bet is placed, the controller is configured to modify the symbols arrayed in the plurality of symbol arrays, so that the ratios of the specific symbols to the total number of the symbols in all the symbol arrays increases with an increase in the bet amount.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2015Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignees: Universal Entertainment Corporation, Aruze Gaming America, Inc.Inventors: Keiichi Kojima, Hiroshi Takahashi, Tetsuya Yokota, Yukinori Inamura, Takeshi Narita, Yuji Miyagawa, Takuto Nakayama, Atsuya Takano, Erika Turchi, Toshihiko Honda, Keisuke Kajino

Patent number: 9786115Abstract: There is provided a gaming machine capable of providing an effect for symbol display during a stop and/or rotation of a reel, by use of a totally non-conventional effect element, which is an angle of a line of sight to an outer circumferential surface of the reel. Reel strips M32 each having symbols 501 are respectively disposed on outer circumferential surfaces of cylindrical reels M31 each configured to be rotated with its cylinder central axis being held at a predetermined position. Each reel strip M32 includes a color shifting layer M321 configured to selectively reflect and transmit predetermined wavelengths of visible light depending on the incident angle.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignees: UNIVERSAL ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION, ARUZE GAMING AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Jun Hirato, Motomichi Sato, Keita Shimura, Masumi Sakamoto, Takuto Nakayama
