Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of returning a profit by being controlled to an advantageous state to a player SOLUTION: During the pseudo bonus state, a state advantageous to the player is generated inside the RB by notifying an operation mode that does not cause the RB to be won, whereas when not in the pseudo bonus state, the RB can be won when other winning combinations (small winning combinations included in No. 5 to No. 8) cannot be won inside the RB, and control can be performed during the RB operation in which the ball discharge rate is less than 1. In the bonus latent state, the rate of bonus notification is higher in the RB than in the RB.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 703

Claims

1. Multiple light-emitting means, A performance control means that controls the illumination of the plurality of light-emitting means according to the performance, A main control means including a game control means connected to the performance control means for controlling the progress of the game, and a game value control means connected to the game control means for performing control related to the game value, The system comprises a light emission control means connected to the performance control means for controlling the light emission patterns of the plurality of light emission means, The game control means transmits commands to the performance control means in accordance with the progress of the game. The aforementioned performance control means is A performance determination means that determines the performance based on the received command, A pattern storage means that stores multiple types of light emission control pattern patterns in advance to enable the identification of a light emission control pattern according to the performance, Includes storage means for storing light emission control data in a predetermined storage area for controlling the plurality of light emission means in a light emission control mode that can be identified based on a light emission control mode pattern corresponding to the performance, The aforementioned light emission control pattern includes designation information for specifying the area in which each light emission control data is stored, The storage means is capable of storing light emission control data for controlling light emission means of different parts according to the light emission control pattern in the area specified by the designated information, even if the designated information is the same. The game control means updates a predetermined counter according to the increase or decrease in game value from an initial value, and when the value of the predetermined counter becomes equal to or greater than a first predetermined value, and when it reaches a second predetermined value, it transmits a predetermined command to the performance control means. When the performance control means receives the predetermined command, it causes the predetermined light-emitting means associated with the predetermined group to perform a light-emitting pattern indicating that the predetermined command has been received. The plurality of light-emitting means are associated with one of the plurality of groups, The aforementioned light emission control pattern can identify the light emission control pattern for each group according to the performance, The aforementioned designation information is information for specifying the area to be stored for each of the light emission control data for each group. The storage means is capable of storing different groups of light emission control data in the area specified by the designated information, even if the designated information is the same, according to the light emission control pattern.

2. The plurality of types of light emission control mode patterns include light emission control mode patterns that make it possible to identify light emission control modes that result in different lighting methods for each group, The storage means is capable of storing light emission control data for different lighting methods in the area specified by the designated information, even if the designated information is the same, according to the light emission control mode pattern. The aforementioned light emission control pattern allows for the identification of light emission control data for control in a group of light emission control patterns in the order defined in the light emission control pattern. The aforementioned light emission control mode includes a group lighting method, The storage means stores light emission control data for control in the light emission control mode of a group, in an area specified by the specified information based on the order in which it is identified, using a storage driver corresponding to the lighting method identified from the light emission control modes of a group identified based on the light emission control mode pattern. The aforementioned multiple types of light emission control patterns are defined such that the number of groups controlled by a specific lighting method is greater than the number of groups controlled by a lighting method different from the specific lighting method. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the storage means determines, before other lighting methods, which lighting method is the specific lighting method identified from the group of light emission control modes identified based on the light emission control mode pattern.
