Gaming machine

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a gaming machine that can enhance the enjoyment of the game. [Solution] A first state can be configured in which a first display mode is updated and displayed when a specific condition is met during a special game state in which a first state is set, and a second state in which the first display mode is not updated and displayed when a specific condition is met during a special game state in which a first state is set. This provides players with the enjoyment of understanding the first display mode, and thus provides a gaming machine that can enhance the enjoyment of the game. [Selected Figure] Figure 1

Claims

[Claim 1] A discrimination means capable of performing discrimination, A specific game execution means capable of executing a specific game in which, if the result of the discrimination by the discrimination means becomes a specific discrimination result, a game ball can be entered into the first ball entry means, In a gaming machine having a second ball entry means different from the first ball entry means, The system is configured to award prize balls of different values, including at least a first prize ball that may be awarded when a game ball enters the first ball entry means, and a second prize ball that may be awarded when a game ball enters the second ball entry means. The system is configured such that a predetermined calculation corresponding to the awarding of prize balls can be performed on the value of a predetermined counter during a predetermined game period. A first display whose form can change in response to the awarding of the first prize ball, and a second display different from the first display, whose form can change in response to the awarding of the first prize ball and the awarding of the second prize ball, are configured to appear during the predetermined game period. The system is configured such that the awarding of prize balls may be restricted based on the result of the predetermined calculation being a specific result. If, during the predetermined game period, the predetermined calculation results in the predetermined result, the awarding of prize balls is not restricted during the predetermined period until the specific game ends, and game balls can continue to be entered into the first ball entry means. The system is configured such that, when a predetermined event occurs during the predetermined game period while the specific game is being played, the predetermined information regarding the progress of the specific game is not erased, and an initial value can be set for the predetermined counter. The system is configured to display numerical information regarding the first prize ball that may be awarded in the specified game between the start of the specified game and the time when the game ball enters the first ball entry means. The gaming machine is, The system is configured such that when the value of the predetermined counter becomes a specific value as a result of the predetermined calculation, the result of the predetermined calculation may become the specific result. The predetermined counter is configured such that when the predetermined calculation is performed while the value of the predetermined counter is a first value between the initial value and the specific value, the value of the predetermined counter can be updated so that the first numerical information corresponding to the first value is added to the second numerical information side which corresponds to a second value different from the specific value. The predetermined counter is configured such that when the predetermined calculation is performed while the predetermined counter is at the second value, the value of the predetermined counter cannot be updated so that the second numerical information is subtracted from the first numerical information. The system is configured such that, at least during the predetermined game period, when the specific game is being played, a specific calculation different from the predetermined calculation can be performed on the value of the predetermined counter if a predetermined update condition is met. A gaming machine characterized in that, when the value of the predetermined counter is the second value, the value of the predetermined counter can be updated such that the second numerical information is subtracted from the first numerical information when the specific operation is performed.
