Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can suppress the decline in the enjoyment of the game. [Solution] The machine comprises a starting prize slot capable of receiving game balls, a display device capable of displaying the results of a special lottery that can be performed when game balls are received into the starting prize slot, and a drive unit that operates by power. Below the game window provided in the door frame, there is a ball tray section capable of storing game balls dispensed in response to the receiving of game balls into the starting prize slot, and an operating means that can receive operations from the player and change the display on the display device. The operating means that can receive operations from the player and change the display on the display device makes the drive unit operable and has a first operating section that can receive a first operation from the player and a second operating section that can receive a second operation from the player that is different from the first operation, and has a specific display effect as a display effect that can be performed on the display device.

Claims

[Claim 1] In a gaming machine that performs variable display of identification information based on the fulfillment of predetermined conditions, and controls the game to a favorable state for the player by deriving a specific display result as a result of the variable display of said identification information, It is possible to calculate a counter value related to the difference between the game value used in the game and the game value that is assigned. It is possible to control between a normal game state and a special game state that is more advantageous than the normal game state. When the game is controlled to the normal game state, if the counter value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the game's progress can be restricted. When the game is controlled to the aforementioned special game state, if the counter value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the game's progress can be restricted. When the game is controlled to the advantageous game state, if the counter value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the game can be restricted after the end of the advantageous game state without restricting the game's progress. When the counter value exceeds a predetermined threshold during the variable display of identification information resulting in a specific display result, control is performed to restrict the progress of the game, thereby preventing the control to the advantageous game state based on the variable display from being executed. When the game is controlled to the normal game state or the special game state, if the counter value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the game medium will stop firing. However, when the game is controlled to the advantageous game state, if the counter value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the game medium will not stop firing. The gaming machine includes a specific state control process that can control specific information whose output state is switched based on the counter value, The aforementioned specific state control process controls the output of the specific information to be stopped in the normal state, and to switch from the stopped state to a specific output state when the counter value becomes a specific threshold that is less than a predetermined threshold. The aforementioned specific output state is a state in which the counter value is maintained until it falls below the predetermined threshold from the aforementioned specific threshold. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
