[0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a slot machine excellent in entertainment factor and a playing method of the slot machine. More specifically, it is the object of the present invention to provide a slot machine capable of displaying such an effect as enhancing player's expectations in a bonus game, and to provide a playing method of the slot machine.
[0010] Therefore, in the bonus game, the first display and the second display can be allowed to display such an effect as deciding the payout amount of game mediums in the bonus game in a new mode that does not exist in the base game, in which the effect display is made by the image related to the decision of the payout amount of game mediums. Accordingly, such an effect as enhancing the player's expectations can be displayed in the bonus game, and the entertainment factor can be enhanced.
[0013] Therefore, in the bonus game, the first display and the second display can be allowed to individually display such an effect as deciding the payout amount of game mediums in the bonus game in a new mode that does not exist in the base game, in which the effect display is made by the image related to the decision of the payout amount of game mediums. Accordingly, such an effect as enhancing the player's expectations can be displayed in the bonus game, and the entertainment factor can be enhanced.
[0016] Therefore, in the bonus game, the second display can be allowed to display such an effect as deciding the payout amount of game mediums in the bonus game in a new mode that does not exist in the base game, in which the effect display is made by the image related to the decision of the payout amount of game mediums. Accordingly, such an effect as enhancing the player's expectations can be displayed in the bonus game, and the entertainment factor can be enhanced.
[0017] As described above, in accordance with the slot machine and the playing method of the slot machine according to the present invention, such an effect as enhancing the player's expectations can be displayed in the bonus game, and the entertainment factor is enhanced. Accordingly, the slot machine can attract more players, and a new entertainment factor can be added to the slot machine.
