Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine which can favorably improve the attention degree on a game.SOLUTION: When a special winning result B is given by a lottery based on an entry into an operation port in a second probability variable state corresponding to a high probability mode and a high frequency support mode, a transition to a first probability variable state corresponding to the high probability mode and a low frequency support mode via an open / close execution mode is carried out. For the first probability variable state, the second probability variable state is passed through in a transition to a low probability game state, and at least one high probability game state is continued. Here, when the special winning result B is given in the second probability variable state, and the special winning result B triggers a transition to the first probability variable state, a V stock acquisition performance is carried out which is the same V stock acquisition performance that is carried out on a display screen 42a, when a first V jackpot result is given in the first probability variable state and a V winning triggers a transition to the first probability variable state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 437

As a determination mode for performing the determination by the determination means, a low probability mode in which the probability of becoming the first determination result corresponding to the first determination information is relatively low and a high probability mode in which the probability of becoming the first determination result corresponding to the first determination information is relatively high are provided. As the predetermined game state, a first game state corresponding to the low probability mode, a second game state corresponding to the second switching mode and the high probability mode and more advantageous to the player than the first game state, and a third game state corresponding to the first switching mode and the high probability mode and more advantageous to the player than the second game state are provided. The start winning ball section includes a first start winning ball section to which the variable mechanism is attached and a second start winning ball section to which the variable mechanism is not attached, and the first start winning ball section and the second start winning ball section are arranged in a predetermined flow path in the game area. As the predetermined notification means, a first notification means for performing a game return operation based on the entry of a ball into the first start winning ball section and a second notification means for performing a game return operation based on the entry of a ball into the second start winning ball section are provided. The game return control means is capable of executing a game return operation in the other while a game return operation is being performed in one of the first notification means and the second notification means. The game return control means has an execution period determination means for determining the execution period of the game return operation in the first notification means and the execution period of the game return operation in the second notification means. As a determination mode for determining the execution period of the game return operation by the execution period determination means, a first determination mode for determining the execution period such that the execution period of the game return operation in the first notification means is shorter than the execution period of the game return operation in the second notification means, and a second determination mode for determining the execution period such that the execution period of the game return operation in the first notification means is longer than the execution period of the game return operation in the second notification means are provided. Means for switching the determination mode is provided such that the determination mode becomes the first determination mode in the first game state and the second game state, and the determination mode becomes the second determination mode in the third game state. The first determination information includes first information, second information, third information, and fourth information. The control means for the variable ball entry section is When the determination results in a determination corresponding to any of the first information, the third information, and the fourth information and a transition to the first special game state occurs, means for controlling the first variable ball entry section such that the game balls flowing into the first variable ball entry section pass through a predetermined location in the first variable ball entry section. When the determination results in a determination corresponding to the second information and a transition to the first special game state occurs, means for controlling the first variable ball entry section such that the game balls flowing into the first variable ball entry section cannot pass through or have difficulty passing through the predetermined location in the first variable ball entry section. has First transition means for causing a transition to the third game state after the end of the first special game state when the determination in the second game state results in a determination corresponding to the first information and the game balls pass through the predetermined location. Second transition means for causing a transition to the first game state after the end of the first special game state when the determination in the second game state results in a determination corresponding to the second information and the game balls do not pass through the predetermined location. Third transition means for causing a transition to the third game state after the end of the first special game state when the determination in the third game state results in a determination corresponding to the third information and the game balls pass through the predetermined location. Fourth transition means for causing a transition to the second game state after the end of the first special game state when the determination in the third game state results in a determination corresponding to the fourth information and the game balls pass through the predetermined location. is provided with When transitioning from the third game state to the first game state, it is configured to pass through the second game state. The second determination result is a determination result that makes the determination mode the same before and after the second special game state that transitions based on the second determination result, and makes the switching control mode after the end of the second special game state the first switching mode. When the determination in the second gaming state results in the second determination result corresponding to the second determination information, special transition means for causing a transition to the third gaming state via the second special gaming state is provided. When the determination in the third gaming state results in a determination result corresponding to the third information, a special effect that suggests the remaining number of times that can result in the first determination result in the predetermined gaming state where the determination mode is the high probability mode is executed, and when the determination in the second gaming state results in the second determination result corresponding to the second determination information, special effect execution means for executing the same special effect as the special effect is provided. The gaming machine is characterized by this.
