Claims

【Claim 1】 a first operation means and a second operation means operable by a player; a determination means for making a determination; a privilege granting means capable of granting a privilege to the player based on a predetermined result obtained by the determination by the determination means; comprising: a gaming machine in which, when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state, post-reception changes corresponding to an operation reception for the first operation means can occur a plurality of times, and when the second operation means is maintained in an operating state, post-reception changes corresponding to an operation reception for the second operation means can occur a plurality of times, when an operation instruction regarding the second operation means is displayed, a specific sound can be output, and the output state of the specific sound is maintained over an output time corresponding to the specific sound; when an operation instruction regarding the first operation means is displayed, a special sound can be output, and there are cases where a specific end condition is satisfied and cases where the specific end condition is not satisfied while the special sound is being output. Among these cases, when the specific end condition is satisfied while the special sound is being output, the output state ends early at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound elapses; when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state while an operation instruction regarding the first operation means is being displayed, among the post-reception changes that can occur a plurality of times in response to an operation reception for the first operation means, there is a first post-reception change that can occur at regular time intervals, when the second operation means is maintained in an operating state while an operation instruction regarding the second operation means is being displayed, among the post-reception changes that can occur a plurality of times in response to an operation reception for the second operation means, there is a second post-reception change that can occur at regular time intervals and a third post-reception change that can occur at irregular time intervals; furthermore, when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state without an operation instruction regarding the first operation means being displayed and the first post-reception change occurs a plurality of times as the post-reception change in response to an operation reception for the first operation means, the interval at which the first post-reception change occurs is the same as when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state while an operation instruction regarding the first operation means is being displayed and the first post-reception change occurs a plurality of times; furthermore, In a situation where the special sound is being output and the first operating means is maintained in an operating state, if the specific end condition is satisfied and the output state of the special sound is prematurely terminated at an intermediate stage before the elapse of the output time corresponding to the special sound, the specific end condition is not satisfied, and based on the fact that the predetermined result is obtained by the determination means, the ratio of awarding a privilege to the player is higher than when the output state of the special sound is continued over the output time corresponding to the special sound. The gaming machine characterized by the above.
