Gaming Machines

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suitably enhancing interest in a game by display contents when executing a variation display performance.SOLUTION: A shift from a display image corresponding to a simple configuration from among multiple kinds of display images set as display images of operation means displayed in a first display performance executed during a detection invalid period to a display image corresponding to a configuration more complex than the display images of the first display performance displayed in a second display performance executed during a detection valid period can be expressed as a continuous display advancing in steps via an intermediate display image. Since a third display performance includes an establishment display period during which display of a display image expressing an appearance shape of an input operation device 260 as a display image in the second display performance is maintained for predetermined time, a player can be impressed with a shift period from the detection invalid period to the detection valid period in a continuous display via the intermediate display image by display during the establishment display period.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 133

Claims

[Claim 1] An operation means operable by a player; A display means provided with a display unit; A performance control means capable of executing a predetermined operation-responsive performance as a display performance executed on the display unit; A gaming machine including a switching means for switching between a detection effective period during which the operation corresponding performance is executed based on the operation detection of the operation means and a detection invalid period during which the operation corresponding performance is not executed even if the operation means is operated, and configured to be able to display on the display unit an operation method of the operation means for which the operation detection is valid during the detection effective period, The performance control means includes: When it is determined that the operation corresponding performance is to be executed based on the operation detection during the detection valid period, a display image to be displayed on the display unit is as follows: a first display image that is displayed during the detection invalid period, a second display image that is displayed during the detection valid period, and an intermediate display image that is displayed when switching from the detection invalid period to the detection valid period, the first display image, the second display image, and the intermediate display image are all display objects that represent an external shape of the operation means; The second display image is configured to be capable of being a display image that expresses the appearance of an operating means that can be operated in a larger number of directions than the first display image, a display image that expresses the appearance of an operating means that can be operated in a larger number of operations, or a display image that is similar to the appearance of an operating means installed in a gaming machine, or a combination of these. A gaming machine characterized in that, when it is determined that the operation-responsive presentation will be executed based on the operation detection during the valid detection period, a display image having a different aspect from the second display image to be displayed later is displayed as the first display image during the invalid detection period, the intermediate display image is displayed after the first display image is displayed, and a display image showing the external shape of the operating means is displayed as the second display image for a predetermined period of time after the intermediate display image is displayed.
