Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of enhancing interest in a game.SOLUTION: Control can be performed to one of game states at least including a normal game state, a time-shortening game state that can be started when a time-shortening pattern is derived, and a jackpot game state that can be started when a jackpot pattern is derived. The time-shortening game state includes: a first time-shortening game state that can be started when a time-shortening pattern 10 is derived; and a second time-shortening game state that can be started when a time-shortening pattern 20 is derived and is more advantageous to a player than the first time-shortening game state. A game is progressed with leftward shooting as a normal mode in the normal game state or the first time-shortening game state, and a game is progressed with rightward shooting as a normal mode in the second time-shortening game state. While derivation of a time-shortening pattern is permitted when the time-shortening pattern is derived in the normal game state, derivation of the time-shortening pattern is not permitted when the time-shortening pattern is derived at least in the first time-shortening game state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 353

Claims

[Claim 1] A gaming machine including a pattern change execution means capable of executing a pattern change, a determination means for determining the execution result of the pattern change, a game state control means capable of controlling a game state, and a launch operation means for causing a game medium to be launched by a player's launch operation to progress the game, The determination result determined by the determination means includes at least a specific result and a special result different from the specific result, The game state control means includes: The game state can be controlled to any one of the game states including at least a normal game state, a specific game state to which the game state can be shifted when the specific result is derived as the judgment result of the judgment means, and a special game state to which the game state can be shifted when the special result is derived as the judgment result of the judgment means and to which a predetermined game value can be awarded; the identification result includes a first identification result and a second identification result different from the first identification result, The specific game states include a first specific game state to which a player can be shifted when the first specific result is derived, a second specific game state to which a player can be shifted when the second specific result is derived and which is more advantageous to the player than the first specific game state, and a third specific game state different from the first specific game state and the second specific game state when a specific condition is established that is conditioned on the number of times the pattern fluctuations reach a predetermined number of times while the game is controlled to the normal game state or the specific game state, When the normal game state or the first specific game state is controlled, a game is progressed with a first firing operation as a regular mode, and when the second specific game state or the third specific game state is controlled, a game is progressed with a second firing operation as a regular mode; The determination means is when the specific result is derived when the game state control means is controlled to the normal game state, the derivation of the specific result is permitted, whereas when the specific result is derived when the game state control means is controlled to at least the first specific game state, the derivation of the specific result is not permitted; The specific condition is established when the game machine is controlled to the first specific game state at a relatively higher rate than when the game machine is controlled to the normal game state.
