Claims

[Claim 1] A launching mechanism capable of launching game balls, The starting ball entry area into which the launched game ball can enter, When a game ball enters the aforementioned starting ball entry area, a storage means capable of storing predetermined information is provided. A display means capable of dynamically displaying identification information based on the predetermined information stored in the storage means, A gaming machine comprising: a means for assigning a predetermined gaming value to a player when a predetermined result is derived in the dynamic display of the identification information; The system includes a predetermined performance execution means that enables the execution of a predetermined performance when a predetermined operation is performed by a player while the dynamic display of the identification information is not being performed, The aforementioned predetermined performance is, It comprises, at a minimum, an introductory performance that may be performed at the beginning of the predetermined performance, a main performance that is performed after the introductory performance, and a result performance that can display specific information as a result of the main performance, The aforementioned main production is, It is configured to allow the selection and execution of one of several different performance patterns. The aforementioned result presentation is, The predetermined main performance is initiated, and the performance is executed when either the first condition regarding the passage of time or the second condition regarding the player's actions is met. The gaming machine is, Even if a game ball enters the starting ball entry area while the predetermined performance is being executed, the predetermined performance can be continued by the continuation means, If the dynamic display of the identification information has not been performed after the predetermined performance has finished, a specific performance execution means capable of executing a specific performance different from the dynamic display and the predetermined performance, A means for reflecting the specific information displayed in the predetermined performance in the game state after the predetermined performance has ended, An instruction information output means capable of outputting equivalent instruction information to display the result presentation when the first condition is met and when the second condition is met, It includes detection means that perform predetermined detections based on the player's game operations, The aforementioned main production is, It consists of at least a first period in which the progress of the game is influenced by the player's gameplay, and a second period in which the progress of the game is not influenced by the player's gameplay. The gaming machine is, When the main performance is executed consecutively, the system is configured such that the next first period can be executed after the second period of the main performance has ended. When the dynamic display of the identification information is not being performed, if the player performs the predetermined operation, the predetermined performance is not performed because the predetermined conditions relating to the detection means are not met. The system includes a specific detection means capable of detecting specific events that may occur due to specific actions performed by the player while the aforementioned main performance is being executed. The aforementioned predetermined performance execution means is The system includes an operation suggestion means that suggests the specified operation if, after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the main performance, detection by the specified detection means does not occur. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
