Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine which can be easily applied into a game hall.SOLUTION: A game machine performs a lottery on the basis of establishment of a start condition, and can control itself to come into a jackpot game state advantageous to a player when a result of the lottery becomes a jackpot result. The game machine comprises: special game state control means capable of controlling the game machine to come into a special game state, in which an establishment frequency of the start condition is enhanced relative to that in a normal game state without controlling the game machine to come into the jackpot game state, when the result of the lottery becomes a non-jackpot result different from the jackpot result; an external terminal board having a plurality of external output terminal parts; and external output means using the external terminal board for transmitting a state of the game machine to an external appliance. The external output means can, not only transmit occurrence of a state advantageous to a player when being controlled to come into the jackpot game state, to the external appliance, but also can transmit occurrence of the state advantageous to the player when being controlled to come into the special game state when the result of the lottery becomes the non-jackpot result, to the external appliance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 134

Claims

[Claim 1] A game machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state by holding a lottery based on the ball entering a starting hole, displaying a variation of a pattern based on the result of the lottery, and displaying a winning pattern as a result of the variation of the patterns, A count value updating means for updating a count value related to a ball entering the starting hole at least when the ball enters the starting hole; A specific state control means for controlling the game machine to a specific state different from the advantageous state based on the count value becoming a specific value; A performance control means for executing a predetermined performance control; an initialization means for initializing the gaming machine when the gaming machine is powered on; Equipped with The initialization means includes: There are cases where one of the count value and the state of the gaming machine is initialized, and cases where both the count value and the state of the gaming machine are initialized, When a RAM clear operation is performed as a power-on operation, the state of the gaming machine is initialized by a predetermined RAM clear process. The count value can be initialized not only when the RAM clear operation is performed as a power-on operation, but also when the RAM clear operation is not performed. It is structured as follows: When a power interruption occurs while the device is controlled to the specific state and the power is turned on again by a predetermined operation, the specific state continues and a notification similar to the notification corresponding to the specific state that was performed before the power interruption occurs can be executed. The lottery is conducted based on the ball entering the starting hole, while the lottery is not conducted based on the ball entering a non-starting hole different from the starting hole, The count value can be updated not only when the ball enters the starting hole, but also when the ball enters the non-starting hole, Furthermore, based on the count value reaching a predetermined value before the specific value, a pre-display is given to suggest that the count value is approaching the specific value.
