Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can appropriately inform the player of their degree of advantage. [Solution] A predetermined count value is updated based on the fulfillment of predetermined conditions, and in the first state, each time the predetermined count value is updated by a first predetermined number, a first notification indicating that the predetermined count value has been updated is performed. In the first state, each time the predetermined count value is updated by a second predetermined number greater than the first predetermined number, a second notification related to the player's degree of advantage is performed. In the first state, the predetermined count value is updated when the predetermined conditions are met, but in the second state, the predetermined count value is not updated when the predetermined conditions are met. The second notification performed by the second notification means has multiple types, including at least a first notification type and a second notification type corresponding to a higher degree of advantage than the first notification type. This has the effect of appropriately notifying the degree of advantage.

Claims

[Claim 1] A discrimination means capable of performing discrimination, A specific game execution means capable of executing a specific game in which, if the result of the discrimination by the discrimination means becomes a specific discrimination result, a game ball can be entered into the first ball entry means, In a gaming machine having a second ball entry means different from the first ball entry means, The system is configured to award prize balls of different values, including at least a first prize ball that may be awarded when a game ball enters the first ball entry means, and a second prize ball that may be awarded when a game ball enters the second ball entry means. The system is configured such that a predetermined calculation corresponding to the awarding of prize balls can be performed on the value of a predetermined counter during a predetermined game period. A first display whose form can change in response to the awarding of the first prize ball, and a second display different from the first display, whose form can change in response to the awarding of the first prize ball and the awarding of the second prize ball, are configured to appear during the predetermined game period. The system is configured such that the awarding of prize balls may be restricted based on the result of the predetermined calculation being a specific result. If, during the predetermined game period, the predetermined calculation results in the predetermined result, the awarding of prize balls is not restricted during the predetermined period until the specific game ends, and game balls can continue to be entered into the first ball entry means. The system is configured such that, when a predetermined event occurs during the predetermined game period while the specific game is being played, the predetermined information regarding the progress of the specific game is not erased, and an initial value can be set for the predetermined counter. The system is configured to display numerical information regarding the first prize ball that may be awarded in the specified game between the start of the specified game and the time when the game ball enters the first ball entry means. The gaming machine is, The system is configured such that when the value of the predetermined counter becomes a specific value as a result of the predetermined calculation, the result of the predetermined calculation may become the specific result. The predetermined counter is configured such that when the predetermined calculation is performed while the value of the predetermined counter is a first value between the initial value and the specific value, the value of the predetermined counter can be updated so that the first numerical information corresponding to the first value is added to the second numerical information side which corresponds to a second value different from the specific value. The predetermined counter is configured such that when the predetermined calculation is performed while the predetermined counter is at the second value, the value of the predetermined counter cannot be updated so that the second numerical information is subtracted from the first numerical information. The system is configured such that, at least during the predetermined game period, when the specific game is being played, a specific calculation different from the predetermined calculation can be performed on the value of the predetermined counter if a predetermined update condition is met. The predetermined counter is configured such that when the specific calculation is performed while the predetermined counter is at the second value, the value of the predetermined counter can be updated so that the second numerical information is subtracted from the first numerical information. The gaming machine is, It has a launching mechanism capable of launching game balls when a predetermined operation is performed by the player, The system is configured such that the predetermined update condition can be met when the game ball used for launching by the launching means is detected in a predetermined area. The gaming machine is, The configuration is such that the second display mode can change even when the aforementioned specific calculation is performed. A gaming machine characterized in that the value updated when the specific operation is performed on the value of the predetermined counter remains constant.
