[0010] This specification also discloses the following inventions relating to gaming machines and the problems that the inventions aim to solve.

[0011] <Assignment Va> Conventionally, this type of gaming machine has been equipped with, for example, a ball entry means through which a gaming ball enters the machine, and based on the entry of the gaming ball, numerical corresponding information is displayed during the variable display (for example, see page 10, Figure 10 of Patent Publication No. 2013-42936). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. That is, in this type of conventional example, there is room for improvement in the display of the numerical correspondence information. The above-mentioned circumstances will be explained in more detail. Conventional gaming machines of this type include, for example, a ball-entering device that allows a gaming ball to enter the game. Based on the entry of the gaming ball, a variable display of numerically-corresponding information, in which additional information such as characters is attached to numerical symbols, is executed. However, conventional examples having such a configuration have the following problems. In other words, in this type of conventional example, in an attempt to improve the entertainment value of the variable display, there is a tendency to increase the number of characters that appear. However, there is no regularity in the display of numerically-corresponding information, such as characters. This is because the symbols corresponding to the displayed characters are determined by random numbers. Therefore, when the variable display and the lottery result display are repeated, even if a player wants to see their favorite character as soon as possible, they cannot predict which character will appear in the next variable display and lottery result display. As such, conventional configurations diminish the entertainment value of players who play while eagerly hoping to see their favorite character as soon as possible. As such, conventional gaming machines have room for improvement in the display of numerically-corresponding information. The invention according to (Va1) below has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine with improved display of numerical correspondence information.

A gaming machine characterized by:

[0029] According to the gaming machine described in (Va9) above, by devising a way to display the numerical value corresponding information during the variable display, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved display of the numerical value corresponding information.

[0030] <Assignment Vb> Conventionally, this type of gaming machine has been equipped with, for example, a ball entry means through which a gaming ball enters the machine, and based on the entry of the gaming ball, numerical corresponding information is displayed during the variable display (for example, see page 10, Figure 10 of Patent Publication No. 2013-42936). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. That is, in this type of prior art example, the display of the numerical correspondence information is not sufficiently interesting. The above-mentioned circumstances will be explained in more detail. Conventional gaming machines of this type include, for example, a ball-entering device that allows a gaming ball to enter the game. Based on the entry of the gaming ball, a variable display of numerically-corresponding information, in which additional information such as characters is attached to numerical symbols, is executed. However, conventional examples having such a configuration have the following problems. In other words, in this type of conventional example, in an attempt to improve the entertainment value of the variable display, there is a tendency to increase the number of characters that appear. However, there is no regularity in the display of numerically-corresponding information, such as characters. This is because the symbols corresponding to the displayed characters are determined by random numbers. Therefore, when the variable display and the lottery result display are repeated, even if a player wants to see their favorite character as soon as possible, they cannot predict which character will appear in the next variable display and lottery result display. Thus, conventional configurations diminish the entertainment value of players who play while eagerly hoping to see their favorite character as soon as possible. Thus, conventional gaming machines lack sufficient entertainment value in the display of numerically-corresponding information. The invention relating to (Vb1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine in which the display of numerical correspondence information is more entertaining.

A gaming machine characterized by:

[0280] (XC9) In the gaming machine described in (XC1), By making the specific display more recognizable to the player than the predetermined display, it is suggested that the player has gained an advantage. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0281] <Assignment Ya> Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, there is, for example, one that outputs information that can be recognized by a player in different modes (for example, see JP 2018-130333 A (pages 79 to 83, FIGS. 51 to 56)). However, the conventional case having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, in this type of gaming machine, when a change in the output mode of this information is accepted, the information is output in the changed output mode, but there is still room for improvement regarding the change in the output mode of information. The invention according to (Ya1) below has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine that is suitable for changing the information output mode. The invention according to (Ya1) below has the following configuration to achieve this object.

[0282] (Ya1) A variable display means (third symbol display device 42) that displays a variable indication of identification information based on the establishment of a start condition; an information output control means (for example, a function to control the display control device 45 based on the fish school presentation mode setting process by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) for controlling the output of information (for example, image information, sound information, light information, vibration information such as the fish school Yg displayed in the fish school presentation) that allows the player to recognize the fish school occurrence frequency in different ways (for example, "normal", "many", "very many", etc.), including information regarding the variable display of the identification information; A setting means (for example, a function to read out a set table from a plurality of tables for selecting a school of fish occurrence pattern stored in the ROM 552, which is performed by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262 as part of a fish school presentation mode setting process) that has a plurality of settings (for example, 30%, 50%, 70%) associated with the output mode of the information (display mode of the school of fish presentation) and can set any one of the plurality of settings; an approachable member (a mobile terminal approach surface Y1a of the NFC communication unit Y1) to which a target object (a mobile terminal) can be brought close; Approach detection means (a function for detecting a response signal in the NFC operation process by the NFC communication unit Y1 and the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) capable of detecting an approach operation in which the target object is brought close to the approachable member by the player; a change receiving means (a function of starting wireless communication with the mobile terminal in pairing and communication establishment processing in the wireless PAN communication unit Y2 and the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) that, based on the detection result of the approach operation by the approach detection means (that an NFC response signal from the mobile terminal is present and normal) (if the NFC response signal is present and normal, a wireless PAN communication connection response signal is also present and normal), brings the mobile terminal into an acceptance state (wireless PAN communication connection state) for accepting change information regarding a change in the output mode of the information, and when a predetermined input regarding the setting (transmission of setting data or the like via the mobile terminal) is made in the acceptance state, can accept a change in the output mode of the information that is made at least during the variable display of the identification information (for example, until the reaching stops); and an output mode change means (for example, a function to execute a setting data change process executed as one of the processes during communication by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) that changes the output mode of the information executed during the variable display of at least the identification information based on the change information (input data entered through a mobile terminal to change the frequency of fish school occurrence) accepted by the change acceptance means in the acceptance state, The information output control means, in a state where the change has been made (for example, a state where the setting has been changed from "normal" to "very many"), changes a predetermined setting (for example, a setting of 30%, 50%, 70%, etc.) from the plurality of settings to a predetermined specific setting (for example, a setting of 60%) different from the predetermined setting, on the condition that a predetermined condition (for example, an input related to a setting related to fish school customization is made at a specific timing from 0.5 seconds before the end of the reach until the end of the reach) is met, and is capable of outputting the information (for example, a school of fish effect) in a manner based on the specific setting (for example, a "slightly many" frequency of fish school occurrence). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0283] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya1), an approaching operation by a player in which an object is brought closer to an approachable member is detected, and based on the detection result of this approaching operation, the gaming machine is put into an acceptance state in which change information regarding a change in the information output mode is accepted, so that the player can accept change information regarding a change in the information output mode with the simple operation of bringing the object closer to the approachable member, and once this acceptance state is entered, change information regarding a change in the information output mode can be accepted easily and repeatedly during play without the need for an approaching operation. If this change information can be accepted easily and repeatedly during play in this way, an event may occur in which change information is accepted at the last possible timing when changing the output mode based on the change information while the identification information is being variably displayed. Even in such a case, in this acceptance state, when the change in the information output mode has been made, it is possible to change a predetermined setting among the multiple settings to a predetermined specific setting that is different from this predetermined setting, and output information in a mode based on this specific setting, provided that predetermined conditions are met.Therefore, when a change in the information output mode is accepted, it is not simply the timing at which the change is accepted that determines whether or not the information is output in the changed output mode, so it is possible to provide a gaming machine that is suitable for changing the information output mode.

[0284] (Ya2) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), A predetermined event detection means (a function for detecting input at this specific timing in the processing when mobile terminal data is received during communication processing by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262 and in the processing for changing setting data) is provided to detect a predetermined event (input related to settings related to fish school customization at a specific timing from 0.5 seconds before the end of the reach until the end of the reach), When the predetermined event occurs, the predetermined condition (when there is input regarding settings related to fish school customization from the specific timing (0.5 seconds before the reach stops) to the reach stops) is met. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0285] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya2) above, when a specified event that can be detected by a specified event detection means occurs, information can be output in a manner based on the specific settings described above, as a specified condition is met.

[0286] (Ya3) In the gaming machine described in (Ya2), The predetermined event is the passage of time (0.5 seconds before the reach stops). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0287] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya3), when a predetermined event (input related to settings related to fish school customization at a specific timing from 0.5 seconds before the reach stops to the time when the predetermined event detection means detects the occurrence of the event over time) a predetermined condition is met and information can be output in a manner based on the above-mentioned specific settings.

[0288] (Ya4) In the gaming machine described in (Ya2), The predetermined event is an event that prevents the output of the information in the output mode corresponding to the change to the predetermined setting (the predetermined event occurs at a specific timing from 0.5 seconds before the reach stops until the reach stops, and therefore prevents the display of the school of fish effect at the fish school occurrence frequency corresponding to "normal," "many," or "very many"). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0289] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya4), even when the output of information in an output mode corresponding to a change to a specified setting is prevented, information can be output in an output mode different from the output of information in the output mode corresponding to a change to a specified setting.

[0290] (Ya5) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The identification information is such that the symbols in multiple rows can change in a predetermined direction in a manner that is difficult for a player to identify (high-speed change of the decorative symbols SZ), The change accepting means is capable of accepting a change in the output mode of the information while the symbols are fluctuating in a manner that is difficult for the player to distinguish (for example, it is possible to accept customization of a school of fish up to 0.5 seconds before the end of a reach). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0291] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya5), it is possible to accept a change in the information output mode while the symbols in multiple rows are changing in a manner that is difficult for the player to distinguish. Therefore, it is possible to accept a change in the settings while the identification information is changing.

[0292] (Ya6) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The change acceptance means is capable of accepting a re-change of the output mode of the information while the symbols are fluctuating in a manner that is difficult for the player to identify (for example, it is possible to accept a re-change of the school of fish customization up to 0.5 seconds before the end of the reach). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0293] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya6), it is possible to accept a re-change of the information output mode while the symbols are changing in a manner that is difficult for the player to distinguish. Therefore, it is possible to accept a re-change of the setting while the identification information is changing.

[0294] (Ya7) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The change acceptance means recognizes the change information by accepting one of the setting information (for example, input data of "normal", "many", "very many") belonging to a predetermined group (frequency of fish school occurrence) by the player. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0295] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya7) above, it is possible for a player to change the settings for each predetermined group.

[0296] (Ya8) In the gaming machine described in (Ya7), The change acceptance means accepts the player's selection for each of a plurality of groups (for example, customization of schools of fish, reach screen climax capture, and fish school occurrence jackpot mission). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0297] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya8), the settings can be changed for each of the multiple groups.

[0298] (Ya9) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The change acceptance means can notify the player that acceptance of the change has been completed (by displaying the set-up completed school of fish Ys). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0299] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya9) above, it is possible to confirm that the setting has been changed normally.

[0300] (Ya10) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The change acceptance means selects the type of change (for example, customizing a school of fish, recording game results) from the player to be accepted depending on whether or not a predetermined game is being played (for example, during a change or round). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0301] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya10), the type of setting that can be changed can be changed depending on whether or not a predetermined game is played.

[0302] (Ya11) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approach detection means detects an approach operation when the target object is brought close to the approachable member from at least a predetermined direction (upper or left side of the NFC communication unit Y1). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0303] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya11), when a proximity operation is detected, it is difficult to detect a proximity operation from a direction other than the specified direction, so when other gaming parts are arranged around the approached member, it is difficult to approach from the direction in which those gaming parts are arranged.

[0304] (Ya12) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approachable member is arranged so that the target object can be easily approached from a predetermined direction and so that the target object cannot be easily approached from any direction other than the predetermined direction (a decision button 81 large enough to prevent a mobile terminal from approaching is arranged immediately to the right of the NFC communication unit Y1). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0305] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya12), when a player makes an object approach the approachable member, it is easy for the player to approach the object from a predetermined direction, so when other gaming parts are arranged around the approachable member, it is difficult for the object to approach from the direction in which those gaming parts are arranged.

[0306] (Ya13) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approach detection means is capable of outputting the detection result to the change acceptance means, which causes the change acceptance means to enter the acceptance state, when the target object approaches the approached member for a predetermined time (a time (e.g., one second) for determining that an NFC response signal from the mobile terminal is present and normal and that a connection response request for wireless PAN communication is present and normal). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0307] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya13) above, the acceptance state can be established by a simple operation of bringing the object close to the approachable member for a predetermined time.

[0308] (Ya14) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approach detection means is configured to output the detection result, which causes the change acceptance means to enter the acceptance state, to the change acceptance means when the object approaches the approached member while the variable display means is executing a predetermined display (demo screen (normal screen), variable display of main decorative symbol SZ), and to disable the change acceptance means from outputting the detection result, which causes the change acceptance means to enter the acceptance state, to the change acceptance means when the object approaches the approached member while the variable display means is executing a specific display (variable display of development symbol HZ (reach performance display)). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0309] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya14) above, whether or not the machine can be set to an acceptance state depends on whether a predetermined display or a specific display is being executed on the variable display means, so it is easy to tell whether or not the machine can be set to an acceptance state.

[0310] (Ya15) In the gaming machine described in (Ya13), The approach detection means does not output the detection result to the change acceptance means, which causes the change acceptance means to enter the acceptance state, unless a specific condition (pairing has not been completed) is met, even if the object approaches the approached member for a predetermined time. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0311] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya15) above, it is possible to prevent unexpected situations from occurring due to the acceptance state being established as long as the object is in close proximity to the approachable member for a predetermined period of time.

[0312] (Ya16) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approach detection means continues to detect the approaching operation for a predetermined period (10 retries or one more second after the detection time has elapsed) even when it is difficult to detect the approach of the object to the approached member and the approaching operation cannot be detected (when the mobile terminal is too far away from the NFC communication unit Y1, when the time during which the mobile terminal is touched to the NFC communication unit Y1 is too short, or when a pachinko machine linked application is not installed on the mobile terminal touched to the NFC communication unit Y1). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0313] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya16) above, even if the first approach operation is not detected, there is a possibility that the second approach operation will be detected, so that change information can be accepted smoothly.

[0314] (Ya17) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approached member emits electromagnetic waves (radio waves for NFC communication, infrared rays for infrared communication) to be radiated toward the object, and transmits a signal (a response signal for NFC, a response signal for infrared communication) indicating the approach operation of the object to the approach detection means. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0315] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya17), the operation of approaching an object is detected by electromagnetic waves emitted toward the object, so that change information regarding changes to the information output mode can be easily accepted during play.

[0316] (Ya18) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The inner side of the approachable member in the approaching direction is provided with a transmitting means (antenna and a transmitting circuit of the NFC control unit) for transmitting electromagnetic waves to the target object, and a receiving means (antenna and a receiving circuit of the NFC control unit) for receiving electromagnetic waves. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0317] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya18) above, the target object can be smoothly brought closer to the approaching member in the approaching direction without having to worry about the transmitting means or the receiving means.

[0318] (Ya19) In the gaming machine described in (Ya18), Storage means (ROM, RAM) for storing transmission information (device name, address, password of wireless PAN communication unit) transmitted via electromagnetic waves or received information (information indicating the presence or absence of a pachinko machine-linked application included in a response signal from a mobile terminal) is provided. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0319] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya19) above, the approaching operation is detected in a manner in which predetermined transmission information and reception information are transmitted and received via electromagnetic waves, thereby increasing the reliability of the detection of the approaching operation.

[0320] (Ya20) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approached member is a member that brings the target object into contact or out of contact (the mobile terminal approach surface Y1a of the NFC communication unit Y1, which may bring the mobile terminal into contact or out of contact to the extent that the mobile terminal is slightly lifted), The approach detection means detects an approach operation by the player of the object by contacting or not contacting the approached member. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0321] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya20), whether the player's operation is to bring the object into contact with the approachable member or to bring the object closer without contact, it can be detected as an approach operation, making it easy to operate even while playing.

[0322] (Ya21) In the gaming machine described in (Ya1), The approached member is a member that the target object comes into contact with (a mobile terminal contact surface of the NFC communication unit Y1, which is a very short-distance device that cannot perform NFC communication unless the mobile terminal is brought into contact with the member), The approach detection means detects a contact operation by a player that brings the object into contact with the approachable member. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0323] According to the gaming machine described in (Ya21) above, unless the player's operation is a contact operation that brings the target object into contact with the approachable member, it will not be detected, so the player can be made to operate it properly to avoid detection errors.

[0324] <Assignment Yb> Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, there is one that outputs information that can be recognized by a player in different modes (for example, see JP 2018-130333 A (pages 79 to 83, FIGS. 51 to 56)). However, the conventional case having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, in this type of gaming machine, when a change in the output mode of this information is accepted, the information is output in the changed output mode, but there is still room for improvement in the processing after the output mode of the information is changed. The invention relating to (Yb1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine that is suitable for processing after changing the information output mode. The invention according to (Yb1) below has the following configuration to achieve this object.

[0325] (Yb1) A variable display means (third symbol display device 42) that displays a variable indication of identification information based on the establishment of a start condition; an information output control means (for example, a function to control the display control device 45 based on the fish school presentation mode setting process by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) for controlling the output of information (for example, image information, sound information, light information, vibration information such as the fish school Yg displayed in the fish school presentation) that allows the player to recognize the fish school occurrence frequency in different ways (for example, "normal", "many", "very many", etc.), including information regarding the variable display of the identification information; A setting means (for example, a function to read out a set table from a plurality of tables for selecting a school of fish occurrence pattern stored in the ROM 552, which is performed by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262 as part of a fish school presentation mode setting process) that has a plurality of settings (for example, 30%, 50%, 70%) associated with the output mode of the information (display mode of the school of fish presentation) and can set any one of the plurality of settings; an approachable member (a mobile terminal approach surface Y1a of the NFC communication unit Y1) to which a target object (a mobile terminal) can be brought close; Approach detection means (a function for detecting a response signal in the NFC operation process by the NFC communication unit Y1 and the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) capable of detecting an approach operation in which the target object is brought close to the approachable member by the player; a change receiving means (a function of starting wireless communication with the mobile terminal in pairing and communication establishment processing in the wireless PAN communication unit Y2 and the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) that, based on the detection result of the approach operation by the approach detection means (that an NFC response signal from the mobile terminal is present and normal) (if the NFC response signal is present and normal, a wireless PAN communication connection response signal is also present and normal), brings the mobile terminal into an acceptance state (wireless PAN communication connection state) for accepting change information regarding a change in the output mode of the information, and when a predetermined input regarding the setting (transmission of setting data or the like via the mobile terminal) is made in the acceptance state, can accept a change in the output mode of the information that is made at least during the variable display of the identification information (for example, until the reaching stops); and an output mode change means (for example, a function to execute a setting data change process executed as one of the processes during communication by the CPU 551 of the sub-control device 262) that changes the output mode of the information executed during the variable display of at least the identification information based on the change information (input data entered through the mobile terminal to change the fish school occurrence rate) accepted by the change acceptance means in the acceptance state, The information output control means outputs the information (e.g., a school of fish effect) in a first mode (e.g., a 50% frequency of fish school occurrence) when the player changes the output mode of the information (e.g., changes the setting from "normal" to "high") in a predetermined state (e.g., during high-speed fluctuation), After the information is output in the first mode, it is possible to change the output mode of the information from the first mode to a second mode (for example, a 10% frequency of fish school occurrence) different from the first mode and output the information without relying on the player's operation (when a start winning that develops into a premium reach is held in abeyance, and then during the premium reach performance based on that hold). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0326] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb1), an approaching operation by a player in which an object is brought closer to the approachable member is detected, and based on the detection result of this approaching operation, the gaming machine is put into an acceptance state in which change information regarding a change in the information output mode is accepted. Therefore, the player can accept change information regarding a change in the information output mode with the simple operation of bringing the object closer to the approachable member. If this acceptance state is entered, change information regarding a change in the information output mode can be easily accepted many times during play without the need for an approaching operation. Even in this acceptance state, if a change in the information output mode by a player is accepted in a predetermined state, information is output in a first mode. However, after information is output in the first mode, the information output mode can be changed from the first mode to a second mode and output without the player's operation. Therefore, if the output mode of the information is changed and information is output in the changed output mode, unless the output mode of the information is changed thereafter, the information does not simply continue to be output in the changed output mode. Therefore, a gaming machine suitable for processing after a change in the information output mode can be provided.

A gaming machine characterized by:

[0330] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb3) above, the output mode can be changed to the second mode without relying on a command to change the setting to the setting change means.

[0331] (Yb4) In the gaming machine described in (Yb3), When the information output control means changes the output mode to the second mode, the change acceptance means receives no input from the player for a predetermined period (during high-speed fluctuation in the fluctuation display of the premium reach) (the player cannot input via the mobile terminal). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0332] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb4) above, when there is no input from the player to the change receiving means for a predetermined period of time, the output mode can be changed to the second mode.

[0333] (Yb5) In the gaming machine described in (Yb3), When the information output control means changes the output mode to the second mode, the acceptance by the player of the change acceptance means is invalidated. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0334] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb5), when the premium reach changes, acceptance by the NFC communication unit Y1 and the wireless PAN communication unit Y2 becomes invalid, and it is possible to prevent the player from customizing the school of fish through the mobile terminal.

[0335] (Yb6) In the gaming machine described in (Yb1), At least after the variable display ends when the change acceptance means accepts a change in the output mode of the information from the player, the information output control means can change the mode to the second mode. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0336] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb6) above, the information output mode can be changed to the second mode from the next variable display following the variable display at the time of accepting a change in the information output mode from the player, and the information can be output.

[0337] (Yb7) In the gaming machine described in (Yb1), The information output control means is capable of changing the output mode to the second mode during a variable display in which the information is output in the first mode. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0338] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb7) above, when information is output in the first mode, the variable display can be changed to the second mode and the information can be output.

[0339] (Yb8) In the gaming machine described in (Yb2), The first and second modes have different common setting values ​​(for example, the first mode has a normal school of fish Yg with a frequency, color, and number of schools of fish, while the second mode has a special school of fish Yg with a frequency, color, and number of schools of fish), which allows the degree of recognition of the information output to the player to differ. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0340] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb8), the common setting values ​​are different when outputting information in the first mode and when outputting information in the second mode, which makes the degree of recognition to the player when the information is output different. For example, it is possible to make the information output in the second mode easier to recognize than the information output in the first mode, or to make the information output in the first mode easier to recognize than the information output in the second mode.

[0341] (Yb9) The gaming machine described in (Yb1) above, characterized in that it has the configuration described in (Ya11) to (Ya21) above.

[0342] According to the gaming machine described in (Yb9), it is possible to achieve the same effects as those of the configurations described in (Ya11) to (Ya21) above.

A gaming machine characterized by:

[0345] According to the gaming machine described in (Yc1), an approaching operation by a player in which an object approaches a approached member is detected, and based on the detection result of this approaching operation, the gaming machine is placed in an acceptance state for accepting change information regarding a change in the information output mode, so that the player can accept change information regarding a change in the information output mode with the simple operation of bringing the object closer to the approached member, and this acceptance state makes it possible to easily accept change information regarding a change in the information output mode multiple times during play without performing an approaching operation.
