Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of improving the taste of a game.SOLUTION: The game machine is configured to execute a timer notice performance capable of varying the increase / decrease of timer values 96a in a timer display area 96 corresponding to the measurement of the lapse of time in a form capable of being recognized by a player, and to start a timer notice object performance when the timer values 96a displayed in the timer display area 96 are shifted to "0". Then, the timer display area 96 can be changed from a visible non-hidden state to a hidden state more difficult to be visually recognized than the non-hidden state. In addition, the elapsed time can be measured even in the hidden state, and there are a case where the timer 96a is updated according to the elapsed time measured in the hidden state (a case where the timer 96a is updated in the hidden state) and a case where the timer 96a is not updated according to the elapsed time measured in the hidden state (a case where the update of the timer 96a is stopped in the hidden state).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1080
