Gaming machine

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 or a bonus for playing again is awarded. If a determination is made to transition the game section or game mode during the processing of a predetermined game section, the destination game section or game mode is set in the next game section buffer or next game mode buffer, and the game section or game mode is transitioned by setting the data from the next game section buffer or next game mode buffer into the current game section buffer or current game mode buffer during the processing of the next game section.

Claims

The game start processing, which is activated when a game round begins, is: A current state information setting process that causes the information indicating the game state stored in the next state information storage means to be stored in the current state information storage means, A game state determination process that determines the game state for the current game round based on the information stored in the aforementioned current state information storage means, A second game state process is activated when the game state determination process determines that the game state is in the second game state, The first game state process is activated when the game state determination process determines that the game state is in the first game state. Equipped with, The second game state processing is as follows: A state transition determination process that determines whether or not to transition to the first game state, If the state transition determination process determines that the game should transition to the first game state, the next state information setting process involves storing information indicating the first game state in the next state information storage means. If the state transition determination process determines that the game should transition to the first game state, the next mode information setting process 1 stores information indicating the destination game mode in the next mode information storage means. Equipped with, The first game state processing is as follows: A current mode information setting process that causes the information stored in the next mode information storage means to be stored in the current mode information storage means, A mode transition determination process that determines whether or not to transition to another game mode based on the information stored in the aforementioned mode information storage means, If the mode transition determination process determines that the game should be transitioned to another game mode, the next mode information setting process 2 stores information indicating the destination game mode in the next mode information storage means. While possessing, The current freeze information setting process involves storing information indicating the type of freeze effect stored in the next freeze information storage means back into the current freeze information storage means, If a decision is made to execute the aforementioned freeze effect, the next freeze information setting process involves storing information indicating the type of freeze effect to be executed in the next freeze information storage means. A gaming machine characterized by not having a specific feature.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the first game state processing comprises: a first game time determination process that determines whether the current game is the first game of the third predetermined game mode when the information stored in the current mode information storage means indicates a third predetermined game mode; and a freeze effect execution process that performs processing for executing a freeze effect when the first game time determination process determines that it is the first game of the third predetermined game mode.

3. The system includes a game-playable information storage means that stores game-playable information relating to the number of games that can be played in the third predetermined game mode, and the first game state processing includes a first determination process that determines whether the game-playable information stored in the game-playable information storage means is a first value if the information stored in the current mode information storage means indicates the third predetermined game mode, a second value setting process that causes the game-playable information storage means to store a second value as the game-playable information if it is determined in the first determination process that it is a first value, an update process that updates the game-playable information stored in the game-playable information storage means from the second value to the first value, and the update process that causes the game-playable information storage The gaming machine according to claim 2, further comprising: a next mode information setting process 3 that, when the playable information stored in the means becomes a first value, causes information indicating a first predetermined game mode to be stored in the next mode information storage means; the first game time determination process is configured to determine whether the playable information stored in the playable information storage means is a second value, in the case when the first determination process determines that it is not a first value, and in the case when the second value setting process causes the playable information storage means to store a second value; and the update process is configured to update the playable information stored in the playable information storage means at least after the determination by the first game time determination process has been completed.
