Gaming Machine

Abstract

In a gaming machine, when the routine proceeds to a bonus game, display doors D1, D2, and D3 are displayed on a transparent liquid crystal panel 5B. The display doors D1, D2, and D3 mask mechanical reels R1, R2, and R3 when they are displayed in a closed state on a liquid crystal panel 5B. In addition, if the display doors D1, D2, and D3 are displayed in an open state on the liquid crystal panel 5B, symbols of the mechanical reels R1, R2, and R3 are rearranged. A player predicts one in which specific symbols are rearranged from among the display doors D1, D2, and D3. If the player's prediction is correct, the number of points relative to a jack pot corresponding to the specific symbol increases. The player repeats this prediction. In this manner, when the number of points relative to the jack pot reaches an arrival point, the jack pot is given to the player.
