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 storage means having a working area; A power interruption recovery setting means for setting a working area stored in the storage means when power is supplied; a specific operation initialization means for initializing a predetermined working area of ​​the storage means by a specific operation; 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; A performance execution means for executing a performance; Equipped with the game control means is capable of controlling a normal game state, a specific game state different from the normal game state, and a special game state different from the normal game state and the specific game state, and capable of awarding a game value to a player when a game result satisfies a special result; The performance execution means includes: A performance mode execution means for executing one of a plurality of types of performance modes; a performance mode selection means for selecting the performance mode to be executed by the performance mode execution means; having the game stop means is capable of not stopping a game when the difference number of the game values ​​calculated by the difference number calculation means becomes the regulation value while the special game state is being controlled by the game control means, and of stopping a 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 game 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, it is possible to transmit information on a higher-order difference consisting of a value in units of a predetermined number of digits, without including information on a lower-order difference consisting of a value less than a predetermined number of digits, among the difference in game value; The performance control means includes: When a power outage occurs while the first game stop notice is being executed, and the power is restored by the power outage restoration setting means without the specific operation being performed after the power outage, the first game stop notice is not executed, When a power outage occurs while the game stop suggestion is being executed, and when the power is restored by the power outage restoration setting means without the specific operation being performed after the power outage, the game stop suggestion is executed; The performance mode execution means includes: In the specific game state, the game can be executed in any one of a plurality of specific performance modes including at least a first specific performance mode and a second specific performance mode different from the first specific performance mode; The performance mode selection means includes: When a predetermined selection condition is established, at least one of the first specific presentation mode and the second specific presentation mode is selectable by a player; The performance mode execution means includes: When the result of the game executed in the specific game state satisfies the special result, the presentation mode executed when the special result is satisfied can be continuously executed in the specific game state after the special game state ends.
