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; 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 provided, a gaming machine in which, when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state, reception post-changes corresponding to receptions of operations on the first operation means may occur a plurality of times, and when the second operation means is maintained in an operating state, reception post-changes corresponding to receptions of operations on the second operation means may 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 is terminated earlier at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, after the first operation means is made non-operational while a reception post-change corresponding to reception of an operation on the first operation means is occurring, when the first operation means is returned from the non-operational state to the operational state again, as processing corresponding to reception of a new operation on the first operation means, there is no case where processing for changing the output state of the effect sound that was in the output state at that time to a non-output state is executed, whereas after the second operation means is made non-operational while the reception post-change corresponding to reception of an operation on the second operation means is occurring, when the second operation means is returned from the non-operational state to the operational state again, as processing corresponding to reception of a new operation on the second operation means, processing for changing at least one of the effect sounds that was in the output state at that time to a non-output state can be executed, furthermore, While the special sound is being output, if the specific end condition is satisfied and the output state of the special sound is prematurely terminated at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, and if the specific end condition is not satisfied and the output state of the special sound continues over the output time corresponding to the special sound, the operation instruction regarding the first operation means is started to be displayed in the same display mode. Furthermore, When the specific end condition is satisfied while the operation instruction regarding the first operation means is being displayed and the special sound is being output, based on this, in addition to the output state being prematurely terminated at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, the operation instruction regarding the first operation means that has been displayed until then is also made non-displayed. A gaming machine characterized by the above.
