Abstract

See full text

A gaming machine displays a plurality of rows of symbols in moving and stopped states at an image display section formed in a front panel. If big winning symbols to be displayed in a stopped state are not attained as the result of determination (S4), then random number sampling for deciding whether or not to execute an image action is carried out (S6). According to the result of this sampling, whether or not to execute the image action is determined (S7). If it is determined to execute the image action, then an operation for randomly blinking tricolor-emitting LEDs is carried out at step 8 (S8). The LED display when executing the image action may be at a low luminance, as long as a player can guess, by seeing the blinking of tricolor-emitting LEDs, that a certain phenomenon relating to big winning might be occurring. The blinking pattern of the tricolor-emitting LEDs is constituted by randomly repeating their color changes. Thus performed is an attraction from which the player continuing a game while waiting for a specific winning arrangement can guess a relation to the winning arrangement, thereby multiplying interest in the game and enhancing the amusement.
