Abstract

To enhance a player's interest in a game.SOLUTION: Provided is variation means that can be variable to an open position for allowing game balls to enter ball entry means and a closed position for preventing game balls from entering the ball entry means. A first open period in which the variation means is maintained in an open position is set on the basis of satisfaction of a first open condition that can be satisfied in a predetermined state, and a first closed period in which the variation means is maintained in a closed position is set on the basis of satisfaction of a first closing condition that can be satisfied during the first open period. A second open period in which the variation mens is maintained in an open position is set on the basis of satisfaction of a second open condition that can be satisfied during the first closed period, and a second closed period in which the variation means is maintained in a closed position is set on the basis of satisfaction of a second closing condition that can be satisfied during the second open period. Accordingly, a player's interest in a game can be enhanced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

[Claim 1] A launching means capable of launching a game ball; a first control means; In a gaming machine having a second control means capable of communicating with the first control means, when a predetermined condition is met, predetermined control data is generated by the first control means, and the generated predetermined control data is output to the second control means at a specific period; When a predetermined event related to an abnormality occurs, predetermined information corresponding to the occurred predetermined event is stored in a predetermined storage area, When the game ball launched by the launching means enters a predetermined ball entry means, the specific information stored in a specific memory area different from the predetermined memory area can be updated in a predetermined update manner. When the predetermined information is stored in the predetermined memory area in at least a predetermined game situation, first control data including at least data corresponding to the predetermined information and data corresponding to the specific information can be generated as the predetermined control data; When the predetermined information is not stored in the predetermined memory area in at least the predetermined game situation, second control data that does not include data corresponding to the predetermined information but includes at least data corresponding to the specific information can be generated as the predetermined control data; when the generated first control data is output to the second control means as the predetermined control data, a first display mode relating to notification of the abnormality, a second display mode corresponding to the specific information, and a third display mode different from the first display mode and the second display mode can be displayed on a predetermined display screen, when the generated second control data is output to the second control means as the predetermined control data, the first display mode is not displayed on the predetermined display screen, and the second display mode and the third display mode are displayed on the predetermined display screen, When a predetermined determination is made, a predetermined dynamic display is performed, and then identification information indicating the determination result of the predetermined determination is statically displayed on a specific display means different from at least the predetermined display screen, the third display mode is a display mode corresponding to a display mode displayed on the specific display means, the gaming machine is configured such that, when the predetermined information is stored in the predetermined memory area in a specific gaming situation different from the predetermined gaming situation, third control data can be generated as the predetermined control data, the third control data being data that includes at least data corresponding to the predetermined information but does not include data corresponding to the specific information; when the generated third control data is output to the second control means as the predetermined control data, the second display mode is not displayed on the predetermined display screen, and the first display mode and the third display mode are displayed on the predetermined display screen, the gaming machine is configured such that, during a predetermined period after power is turned on to the gaming machine, fourth control data different from the first control data and the second control data can be generated as the predetermined control data; when the generated fourth control data is output to the second control means as the predetermined control data, a specific display mode that is not displayed during a period different from the predetermined period can be displayed on the predetermined display screen, the gaming machine is configured such that, when the generated first control data is output to the second control means as the predetermined control data and new predetermined control data is output to the second control means without the predetermined event being resolved, the new first control data can be output to the second control means as the new predetermined control data; the gaming machine is configured such that, when a specific condition is established, specific control data including at least first information different from the predetermined information and the specific information can be input to the first control means from a predetermined control means different from the first control means and the second control means; The predetermined control data may include data corresponding to the first information, A gaming machine characterized in that, when the specified control data including data corresponding to the first information is output to the second control means, a fourth display mode which is a display mode different from the first display mode, the second display mode, and the third display mode and which corresponds to the first information, can be displayed on the specified display screen.
