Information processor, game control method, and computer readable non-transitory recording medium

A game control method executed by a computer, comprising the steps of:

• displaying, on a display device, a symbol display area where symbols are respectively rearranged in cells arranged to form a matrix with plural rows and columns;
• running a unit game in which the symbols are rearranged in the symbol display area of the display device;
• determining, when a special symbol is rearranged in the symbol display area in the unit game, whether the number of the cells in a column where the special symbol is rearranged is the maximum number;
• when the number of the cells is not the maximum number, cumulatively increasing the number of the cells in the column where the special symbol is rearranged, in subsequent execution of the unit game;
• and
• when the number of the cells is the maximum number, awarding a benefit.

A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a game program which causes a computer including a display device to execute the steps of:

• displaying a symbol display area where symbols are respectively rearranged in cells arranged to form a matrix with plural rows and columns;

• determining, when a special symbol is rearranged in the symbol display area in the unit game, whether the number of the cells in a column where the special symbol is rearranged is the maximum number;
• when the number of the cells is not the maximum number, cumulatively increasing the number of the cells in the column where the special symbol is rearranged, in subsequent execution of the unit game;
