Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can enhance the enjoyment of the game. [Solution] If the draw results in a minor win, a minor win game is executed, and if a V-win occurs during that minor win game, a V-jackpot game is executed. In addition, a time-saving limiter function is provided that restricts the transition to the time-saving game state when the number of jackpots in the time-saving game state reaches the time-saving limiter value. If the favorable minor win result is A, the time-saving limiter value is reset, and the number of jackpots that can be won consecutively increases. If the favorable minor win result is B or C, the time-saving limiter value is not reset. In the time-saving game state, if the favorable minor win result is A and a "bust" occurs in that minor win game, the time-saving game state does not end. If the favorable minor win result is B or C and a "bust" occurs in that minor win game, the time-saving game state ends.
