Gaming machine and control method thereof

A gaming machine comprising:

• a display for displaying a game result;
• a memory for storing an accumulative value, which is accumulated by unit game to activate a plurality of insurance pays and has a first threshold value and a second threshold value, and a volume of a prize of each of the insurance pays, which is stored in association with the first threshold value and the second threshold value of the accumulative value;
• and
• a controller,
• the controller being configured to execute the processing of:
• (a) displaying a game result on the display;
• (b) counting the accumulative value by unit game and storing the counted accumulative value in the memory;
• (c) determining whether the accumulative value stored in the memory has reached the first threshold value, as a result of repeating the processing (a) and (b);
• (d) activating the first insurance pay in accordance with the volume of the prize stored in the memory in association with the first threshold value, in a case where it is determined that the accumulative value has reached the first threshold value, as a result of the determination of the processing (c);
• (e) performing the processing (a);
• (f) further counting the accumulative value by said unit game and storing the counted accumulative value in the memory;
• (g) determining whether the accumulative value stored in the memory has reached the second threshold value, as a result of repeating the processing (e) and (f);
• and
• (h) activating the second insurance pay in accordance with the volume of the prize stored in the memory in association with the second threshold value, in a case where it is determined that the accumulative value has reached the second threshold value, as a result of the determination of the processing (g).

A control method of a gaming machine, comprising the steps of:

• (a) rearranging the plural types of symbols on the display;
• (b) counting the accumulative value by said unit game and storing the counted accumulative value in a memory;
• (c) determining whether the accumulative value stored in the memory has reached the first threshold value, as a result of repeating the steps (a) and (b);
• (d) activating the first insurance pay in accordance with the volume of the prize stored in the memory in accordance with the first threshold value, in a case where it is determined that the accumulative value has reached the first threshold value, as a result of the determination of the step (c);
• (e) performing the step (a);
• (f) further counting the accumulative value by unit game, and then, storing the counted accumulative value in the memory;
• (g) determining whether the accumulative value stored in the memory has reached the second threshold value, as a result of repeating the steps (e) and (f);
• and
• (h) activating the second insurance pay in accordance with the volume of the prize stored in the memory in association with the second threshold value, in a case where it is determined that the accumulative value has reached the second threshold value, as a result of the determination of the step (g).
