Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of further enhancing interest in a game.SOLUTION: Game state control means can control to one of game states at least including a normal game state, a time-shortening game state to which a game state can be shifted when a time-shortening pattern is derived, and a jackpot game state to which the game state can be shifted when a jackpot pattern is derived and a predetermined game value can be imparted. The time-shortening game state includes: a first time-shortening game state to which the game state can be shifted when a first time-shortening pattern is derived and that is more disadvantageous than the normal game state or has the same degree of advantage as that of the normal game state; and a second time-shortening game state to which the game state can be shifted when a second time-shortening pattern is derived and that is more advantageous to a player than the first time-shortening game state. While derivation of the time-shortening pattern is permitted when the time-shortening pattern is derived in the normal game state, derivation of the time-shortening pattern is not permitted when the time-shortening pattern is derived in the first time-shortening game state or the second time-shortening game state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 383

Claims

[Claim 1] A game control means capable of controlling a game; a game value granting means for granting a game value acquired according to a game result to a player; a difference calculation means for calculating a difference between the game value and a predetermined reference value based on an increase in the game value granted to the player and the amount of game value consumed in the game; a game stop means for stopping a game controlled by the game control means on condition that the difference number of the game values ​​calculated by the difference number calculation means becomes a regulation value; A performance control means capable of controlling a predetermined suggestion; Equipped with the game control means has a special game state control means for controlling at least one special game state including a first special game state capable of providing a game value to a player when a game result satisfies a special result, and a second special game state capable of providing a larger game value to a player than in the first special game state; the game stopping means, when the special game state is controlled by the special game state control means, does not stop the game if the difference number of the game values ​​calculated by the difference number calculation means becomes the regulation value, but can stop the game after the control of the special game state is terminated; the presentation control means is capable of controlling at least a first game stop notice which is executable when the difference number of the game values ​​calculated by the difference number calculation means is a boundary value smaller than the regulated value, a second game stop notice which can suggest in advance that the game will be stopped after the special game state ends when the difference number of the game values ​​calculated by the difference number calculation means becomes the regulated value while the special game state is being controlled by the special game state control means, and a game stop suggestion which can suggest the stop of the game when the game is stopped by the game stop means; When the first game stop notice is being controlled, a difference suggestion that suggests a difference in game value calculated by the difference calculation means can be controlled; When the presentation control means is controlling the second game stop notice, the presentation control means continues the control of the second game stop notice without terminating it even if the difference number of the game value calculated by the difference number calculation means becomes a value smaller than the regulated value from the regulated value, and terminates the control of the second game stop notice and starts the control of the game stop suggestion on the condition that the control of the special game state is terminated; The game control means is capable of transmitting difference ball information corresponding to the difference in the game value to the presentation control means when there is a predetermined change in the difference in the game value, As the difference ball information, transmit information on higher-order difference numbers consisting of values ​​in units of a predetermined number of digits, without including information on lower-order difference numbers consisting of values ​​less than a predetermined number of digits, among the difference numbers of game values; The performance control means includes: When the first special game state is controlled by the special game state control means and the second game stop notice is executed by the presentation control means, if a specific condition is established, the game state is transitioned to the second special game state and the second game stop notice can be continuously executed; When the first special game state is controlled by the special game state control means and the second game stop notice is executed by the presentation control means, if the specific condition is not satisfied, the second game stop notice is terminated and the game stop suggestion is executed.
