Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can effectively provide notifications to players. [Solution] The system collects the ball entry history into the general prize entry port 61, the first operation port 62, the second operation port 63, the variable prize entry device 65, and the out port 68. Based on the collected ball entry history, the system derives the difference in ball count and the number of balls remaining until the stop count is reached. The system transitions to a game stop state when the derived number of remaining balls becomes 0 or less. Prior to the transition to the game stop state, a stop notification is issued to foreshadow the transition. It is also possible to execute a round upgrade sequence during the opening / closing execution mode. At the start of the opening / closing execution mode, it is determined whether the number of remaining balls will become 0 or less. If it is determined that the number of remaining balls will become 0 or less, the execution of the round upgrade sequence during the opening / closing execution mode is restricted.

Claims

[Claim 1] A variable ball entry means that can switch between a first mode in which game balls can be entered or are easy to enter, and a second mode in which game balls cannot be entered or are more difficult to enter than in the first mode, A transition means capable of transitioning to a specific state in a predetermined case, Equipped with, In the aforementioned specific state, the variable ball entry means is configured to be switched from the second mode to the first mode, and then back to the second mode. It is possible to configure the system so that a specific notification is issued by a predetermined notification means when a specific event occurs. A gaming machine characterized in that, when the trigger for executing the specific notification is established in the specified state, the variable ball entry means is provided with a specific means that enables the specific notification to be executed in a predetermined state which is the second embodiment.
