Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of maintaining interest in a game.SOLUTION: A pachinko machine 1 has a start pocket capable of receiving game balls hit into a game area 5a. When a game ball enters the start pocket, determination processing regarding winning is performed. Thereafter, variable display corresponding to a result of the determination processing is started and, if a winning pattern is displayed in the variable display, a winning game is executed. Accordingly, the pachinko machine 1 can perform a special performance as a performance associated with operation means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 60

Claims

Claim 1 a first operation means and a second operation means operable by a player, a determination means for making a determination, and 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 are provided, wherein when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state, multiple post-reception changes corresponding to the reception of an operation on the first operation means can occur, and when the second operation means is maintained in an operating state, multiple post-reception changes corresponding to the reception of an operation on the second operation means can occur, and the gaming machine is such that when an operation instruction regarding the first operation means is displayed, a special sound can be output, and the special sound can be such that a specific end condition is satisfied or not satisfied while the special sound is being output, and among those cases, when the specific end condition is satisfied while the special sound is being output, the output state of the special sound is terminated earlier than when the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, when the specific end condition is satisfied while the special sound is being output and the first operation means is maintained in the operating state, and the output state of the special sound is terminated earlier than when the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, if the first operation means is maintained in the operating state even after the output state has been terminated earlier, the situation where multiple post-reception changes corresponding to the reception of an operation on the first operation means occur can continue, when the first operation means is changed from the non-operating state to the operating state again after the first operation means has been made non-operating while a post-reception change corresponding to the reception of an operation on the first operation means is occurring, there is no case where a process of setting the effect sound that was in the output state at that time to a non-output state is executed as a process corresponding to the reception of a new operation on the first operation means, whereas when the second operation means is changed from the non-operating state to the operating state again after the second operation means has been made non-operating while a post-reception change corresponding to the reception of an operation on the second operation means is occurring, a process of setting at least one of the effect sounds that was in the output state at that time to a non-output state can be executed as a process corresponding to the reception of a new operation on the second operation means, furthermore, When the reception-after change occurs a plurality of times while the first operation means is maintained in the operating state without an operation instruction regarding the first operation means being displayed, the interval at which the reception-after change occurs is the same as when the reception-after change occurs a plurality of times while the first operation means is maintained in the operating state with an operation instruction regarding the first operation means being displayed. Furthermore, In a situation where the special sound is being output and the first operation means is maintained in the operating state, if the special sound output state is terminated prematurely at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound elapses when the specific end condition is satisfied, the specific end condition is not satisfied, and the ratio of awarding a privilege to the player based on the determination by the determination means is higher than when the output state of the special sound is continued over the output time corresponding to the special sound. A gaming machine characterized by the above.
