When receiving the second start winning information, the winning determination means 110 determines that the game ball has won the third start winning device 25. When the winning to the third start winning device 25 is determined, the second lottery means 114 checks whether or not the number of reserved balls has reached the upper limit. For example, the upper limit of the number of reserved balls is set to four, and this number of reserved balls is independent of the number of reserved balls in the first lottery means 112. When the number of held balls has not reached the upper limit, the second lottery unit 114 obtains a random number for the start winning in the same manner as the first lottery unit 112 at the timing when the pitch determination unit 110 receives the second start prize information. . Based on the random numbers obtained in this way, the second lottery means 114 determines whether or not the second special symbol lottery is successful. If the lottery random number is a hit, the second lottery means 114 Determine whether there is.

  Similar to the first special symbol determination unit 121 and the first decoration symbol determination unit 122, the second special symbol determination unit 123 and the second decoration symbol determination unit 124 in the symbol determination unit 120 are based on the determination result by the second lottery unit 114. A corresponding stop symbol and a symbol variation display pattern are determined. That is, the second special symbol determining means 123 selects any pattern from the pattern storage means 118 according to the lottery result by the second lottery means 114, and determines the special symbol stop symbol according to the lottery result. Further, the second decorative symbol determining means 124 selects a pattern corresponding to the display pattern selected by the second special symbol determining means 123 from the pattern storage means 118, and determines the decorative symbol stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result. .

  The display control means 130 is mainly composed of a first display control means 131 for variably displaying special symbols and decorative symbols. The first display control unit 131 displays the first special symbol on the special symbol display device 15 based on the variation pattern and the stop symbol determined by the first special symbol determination unit 121.
