Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can enhance players' enjoyment of the game. [Solution] A first state is set in which at least a first control is performed that makes it possible to enter the ball entry means based on the fulfillment of predetermined setting conditions, and a second state is set in which at least a second control is performed that makes it more difficult for the ball to enter the ball entry means than in the first state, based on the fulfillment of predetermined specific conditions that may be fulfilled in the first state. During a predetermined period before the specific conditions are fulfilled, a specific performance is performed that can suggest information about the number of predetermined games that can be performed after the second state is set. At least a first performance mode and a second performance mode that can suggest information about the number of games that is more advantageous than the first performance mode are provided as performance modes for the specific performance. This has the effect of improving 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. When the specified period begins under the first circumstances, the display unit for the first number is configured to be in the first configuration upon the start of the period. When the specified period begins under a second condition different from the first condition, the display unit is configured to show a second number different from the first number in the first configuration upon the start of the period. The gaming machine is, The system is configured such that a predetermined notification image can be displayed on the display means at the end of the predetermined period. The system is configured such that at least one of a plurality of situations may occur, including a predetermined situation in which a first image is displayed as a predetermined notification image at the end of a predetermined period after a specific setting information has been set, and a specific situation in which a second image different from the first image is displayed as a predetermined notification image at the end of a predetermined period after a specific setting information has been set. 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, 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.
