Abstract
The objective is to provide a slot machine with improved processing regarding whether or not to perform advantageous control depending on the mode of operation. [Solution] The main control unit 161 determines whether the button press sequence for the game is such that the left reel is the first stop during the advantageous period in which advantageous control can be executed. If it determines that the left reel is the first stop, advantageous control can be executed at the time the next game start operation is performed. If it determines that the left reel is not the first stop, the execution of advantageous control is restricted at the time the next game start operation is performed.
