Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko machine. [Background technology]

[0002] In some gaming machines such as pachinko machines, when the result of a lottery performed based on the winning of a game ball to the starting winning opening is a winning game, a winning game that is advantageous to the player is executed. Some of these gaming machines are intended to improve the interest of the player in the game by setting a gaming state having a high degree of advantage for the player after the winning game is completed. [Prior Art Document] [Patent Document]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-038007 [Summary of the invention] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

[0004] However, there was a need for further improvement in interest.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-exemplified problems and the like, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving a player's interest in playing a game. [Means for solving problems]

[0006] In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 has a first gaming state setting means for setting a first gaming state advantageous to the player based on the establishment of a predetermined setting condition, and the first gaming state. Is set, it is more advantageous than the first gaming state based on the fact that a plurality of conditions including at least a predetermined first condition and a second condition different from the first condition are satisfied. It is provided with a second game state setting means for setting a second game state with a low degree.

[0007] The gaming machine according to claim 2 includes a discrimination means for executing discrimination based on the establishment of a discrimination condition in the gaming machine according to claim 1, and a first discrimination result in which the discrimination result of the discrimination means is predetermined. The first condition is a second condition in which the discriminant result of the discriminating means is different from that of the first discriminating result. It is a condition that can be satisfied when the judgment result is obtained.

[0008] The gaming machine according to claim 3 is the gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein the second condition is a third determination in which the discrimination result of the discrimination means is different from the first discrimination result and the second discrimination result. It is a condition that can be satisfied when the result is obtained.

[0009] The gaming machine according to claim 4 is the gaming machine according to claim 3, wherein the first condition is a predetermined first number of times after the first gaming state is set, and the second determination result. The second condition is a condition that is satisfied when the first game state is set and then a predetermined second number of times and the second determination result is obtained. be.

[0010] The plurality of gaming machines according to claim 5 are the gaming machines according to any one of claims 1 to 4, regardless of the order in which the plurality of conditions are satisfied after the first gaming state is set. The first gaming state can be maintained while at least one of the conditions is not satisfied.

Effect of the invention

[0011] According to the gaming machine according to claim 1, after the first gaming state setting means for setting a first gaming state advantageous to the player based on the establishment of a predetermined setting condition and the first gaming state are set. The second condition, which is less advantageous than the first gaming state, is based on the fact that a plurality of conditions including at least a predetermined first condition and a second condition different from the first condition are satisfied. It is provided with a second game state setting means for setting the game state.

[0012] This has the effect of improving the interest of the player in the game.

[0013] According to the gaming machine according to claim 2, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine according to claim 1, the discrimination means for executing the discrimination based on the establishment of the discrimination condition and the discrimination result of the discrimination means are predetermined. A privileged game executing means for executing a privileged game advantageous to the player based on the first determination result is provided, and the first condition is that the determination result of the determination means is the first determination result. It is a condition that can be satisfied when the second discrimination result different from is obtained.

[0014] As a result, it can be expected that the first discrimination result will be obtained and the second discrimination result will not be obtained in the first game state, so that the game can be played by paying more attention to the discrimination result of the discrimination means. It has the effect of being able to do it.

[0015] According to the gaming machine according to claim 3, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine according to claim 2, the second condition is that the discrimination result of the discrimination means is the discrimination result of the first and the second discrimination result. Since it is a condition that can be satisfied when the third discrimination result is different from the above, it can be expected that the third discrimination result will not be obtained after the first condition is satisfied first. If the second condition is satisfied first, it can be expected that the second judgment result will not be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to realize a novel game property that makes it possible to avoid different discrimination results depending on the order in which the conditions are satisfied, and thus there is an effect that the player's interest in the game can be further improved.

[0016] According to the gaming machine according to claim 4, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine according to claim 3, the first condition is a predetermined first number of times after the first gaming state is set. It is a condition that is satisfied when the second determination result is obtained, and the second condition is the second determination result, which is a predetermined number of times after the first gaming state is set. It is a condition that holds in the case.

[0017] As a result, it is possible to focus on both the number of times the second discrimination result is obtained and the number of times the third discrimination result is obtained, so that the player's interest in the game can be further improved. effective.

[0018] According to the gaming machine according to claim 5, in addition to the effect of the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4, the order in which the plurality of conditions are satisfied after the first gaming state is set. Regardless of this, since the first gaming state can be maintained while at least one of the plurality of conditions is not satisfied, a novel game property that strongly expects that all the conditions are not satisfied is realized. It has the effect of being able to. [Simple explanation of drawings]
