Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of increasing a player's interest in a game.SOLUTION: Game balls that have entered ball entry means are distributed to either a first area or a second area by distribution means. Based on the fact that the game balls have entered the first area, a privilege game advantageous to a player is executed by privilege game execution means. Based on the fact that a predetermined setting condition is satisfied, a specific element related to a degree of advantage for the player is set to any one of a plurality of states including at least a first state corresponding to a first degree of advantage and a second state corresponding to a second degree of advantage, by state setting means. The first state is configured such that the game balls that have entered the ball entry means are more easily distributed to the first area than the second state. Thereby, interest of the player in the game can be increased.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

[Claim 1] A launching means capable of launching a game ball; A first ball entry means is provided at a position where a game ball can enter the ball when the game ball passes through a predetermined area that can be reached by the game ball that is launched with a predetermined launch strength by the launch means; A gaming machine having a displacement means capable of displacing between a first state in which a first flow path is formed and a second state in which the first flow path is not formed, The first ball entry means is provided at a position where the game ball that has reached the first flow path and flowed down a predetermined flow path enters the ball entry means; The gaming machine includes: a distribution means that is provided at a position where a game ball that has reached the first flow path but does not flow down the predetermined flow path can reach, and that is capable of distributing the game ball to a second flow path different from the first flow path or a third flow path different from both the first flow path and the second flow path; A second ball entry means that is different from the first ball entry means and allows the game ball flowing down the second flow path to enter the ball; A third ball entry means, which is different from the first ball entry means and the second ball entry means, and into which the game ball flowing down the third flow path can enter; The displacement means is configured to be displaced from the second state to the first state when a predetermined execution condition is satisfied, As game states, there are at least a first game state and a second game state in which a game ball that has passed through the predetermined area is more likely to reach the first flow path than in the first game state, In the second gaming state, when a predetermined termination condition that can be satisfied by updating at least a value related to a predetermined element to a specific value is satisfied, the first gaming state can be entered; When a game ball enters the first ball entry means or the second ball entry means, a bonus of the same value or a different value corresponding to the ball entry means into which the game ball enters can be awarded, When a game ball enters the third ball entry means, the bonus is not awarded. The first ball entry means and the second ball entry means are configured so that a value related to the predetermined element can be updated in response to a ball entering one of the first ball entry means and the value related to the predetermined element is not updated in response to a ball entering the other ball entry means; When a game ball enters the third ball entry means, the value related to the predetermined element is not updated, The period until the game ball reaches the first flow path and enters the second ball entry means is longer than the period until the game ball reaches the first flow path and enters the first ball entry means. A specific flow path through which the game balls launched by the launching means at a specific launch strength that is weaker than the predetermined launch strength can flow, A gaming machine characterized in that the gaming ball that has flowed down the specific flow path is configured so as not to enter at least the second ball entry means.
