Abstract

To provide gaming machines that can enhance the enjoyment of gaming. [Solution] After the bet switch 56 is operated to set the number of bets, when the start lever 41 is operated, a draw for the winning combination is performed internally, and the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R begin to rotate. If the stopping result of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R corresponds to the winning combination, a medal award or a chance to play again is granted. When the conditions for ending the advantageous period are met, an external signal information indicating that the advantageous period has ended is set, and the system waits until the external signal information indicating that the advantageous period has ended is transmitted to the medal count control device. When the external signal information indicating that the advantageous period has ended is transmitted to the medal count control device, the advantageous period termination process is performed to end the advantageous period.
