Abstract

To provide a game machine that can enhance a player's interest in games. [Solution] A bonus game advantageous to the player is executed when a judgment is made based on the detection of a gaming ball entering the ball entry means and a predetermined specific judgment result is determined. A first gaming state is set in which a first control is executed to allow the gaming ball to enter the ball entry means based on the establishment of a predetermined set condition, and a second gaming state is set in which a second control is executed to make it more difficult for the gaming ball to enter the ball entry means than the first control based on the establishment of the first condition in the first gaming state. While the predetermined specific condition is established in the first gaming state, the first condition is more difficult to establish or is not established compared to when the specific condition is not established. This has the effect of increasing the player's interest in the game.

Claims

[Claim 1] A discrimination means capable of performing discrimination, A gaming machine equipped with a dynamic display means capable of dynamically displaying identification information on a display means to show the discrimination result by the discrimination means, The gaming machine is, The system is configured such that when the identification information for indicating a specific determination result is displayed on the display means, a special benefit may be granted to the player. The system is configured such that a specific period can be initiated during a dynamic display period, which is the period during which the identification information is dynamically displayed, in which a predetermined display comprising at least a plurality of display units, including a first display unit and a second display unit different from the first display unit, is displayed on the display means. The display unit is configured to be one of a plurality of embodiments, which include at least a first embodiment and a second embodiment different from the first embodiment. During the specified period, when the first display unit is in the second configuration and the second display unit is in the first configuration, if a predetermined operation is performed once, the second display unit changes to the second configuration, and after the change, the first display unit and the second display unit are configured to each be in the second configuration. The system is configured such that setting information used for the performance mode can be set when the predetermined operation is performed at least during the specified period. The system is configured such that the specified period can continue even after the predetermined operation has been performed during that specified period. The system is configured such that the specified period may end after the first period has elapsed following the commencement of the specified period. The system is configured such that a predetermined performance reflecting the performance mode using the set setting information can be executed during a predetermined period after the end of the specified period. The system is configured such that different setting information can be set depending on whether the predetermined operation is performed a first time during the specified period or a second time, which is different from the first time. The configuration is such that a predetermined movable member can be made to move after a predetermined period has ended and a predetermined period has begun. The movable mode of the predetermined movable member is configured to be manifested independently of the setting information. The gaming machine is, The system is configured such that, after a predetermined performance is executed in which the performance mode using the set setting information is used, a predetermined condition is met, and a setting information different from the set setting information can be set. The gaming machine is, The identification information for indicating the discrimination result by the discrimination means is configured to include at least a first symbol indicating a number, a second symbol indicating a number, and a third symbol indicating a number, so that it can be displayed on the display means. When the dynamic display is initiated, if the first symbol representing a predetermined number is displayed on the display means, the display means is configured to stop display the identification information, which includes the first symbol representing the next number after the predetermined number, as the identification information for indicating the determination result corresponding to the dynamic display. The gaming machine is, A gaming machine characterized in that the predetermined performance, which reflects the performance mode using the set setting information, can be executed in a new dynamic display period that may start after the dynamic display period at the end of the specified period.
