Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide gaming machines that can enhance the enjoyment of gaming. [Solution] When the start lever 41 is operated after a medal has been bet, a draw for a winning combination is performed internally, and the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R, which are visible through the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R, begin to rotate. If the stopping result of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R corresponds to a winning combination, the player is awarded medals or the opportunity to play again. If the wait period is 100 msec or longer, the wait lamp 370 lights up, and if the wait period is 500 msec or longer, a wipe effect is performed on the auxiliary display unit 65. Furthermore, if 60 seconds have passed since the end of the game without any operation by the player other than changing the volume, a customer waiting effect is started on the auxiliary display unit 65, and if 300 seconds have passed, the volume level is reset.

Claims

1. Multiple cyclic display means for displaying multiple types of patterns in a cyclical manner, A start operation means operated to initiate the cyclical display of the aforementioned pattern, A method for conducting a lottery to determine the roles, Multiple stop operation means operated to individually stop the cyclic display of the aforementioned patterns, If the lottery result for the aforementioned role and the corresponding prize are achieved, a means of awarding a prize to the player and In a gaming machine equipped with the following features, Numerical information storage means for storing numerical information, An update means for periodically updating the numerical information stored in the numerical information storage means, When the start operation means is operated and a game round is started, a specific processing execution means executes a specific process based on the numerical information stored in the numerical information storage means. Equipped with, The configuration is such that at least one of the plurality of cyclic display means does not start cyclically displaying the pattern until the specified process is completed. The specified process is configured to include at least a waiting process that waits until the numerical information stored in the numerical information storage means becomes a first value, and a setting process that sets a second value in the numerical information storage means when the numerical information stored in the numerical information storage means becomes the first value. The update means is configured to periodically update the numerical information stored in the numerical information storage means in the direction from the second value to the first value if the numerical information stored in the numerical information storage means is not the first value. A notification means capable of notifying that the aforementioned waiting process is being executed is provided. A gaming machine characterized in that, if the time required until the completion of the standby process is less than or equal to a predetermined time that is not zero, the notification means does not provide notification, and if the time required until the completion of the standby process is longer than the predetermined time, the notification means provides notification.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, characterized in that all of the plurality of cyclic display means are configured not to start the cyclic display of the patterns until the specified process is completed.

3. The gaming machine according to claim 2, further comprising the numerical information storage means, the update means, and the specific processing execution means, a main control means for overall managing the game, and a subordinate control means for performing various controls under the main control means, wherein the subordinate control means controls the notification means.

4. The gaming machine according to claim 3, wherein the main control means includes a command transmission means that transmits a predetermined command, which includes numerical information and corresponding time information stored in the numerical information storage means, to the subordinate control means before the specific processing execution means performs the standby processing.

5. The gaming machine according to claim 4, characterized in that the subordinate control means, upon receiving the predetermined command, includes a required time determination means that determines whether the time required until the end of the waiting process is less than or equal to the predetermined time based on the time information.
