Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of maintaining and increasing game properties.SOLUTION: A game machine at least includes a normal game state, and a game state with a specific game state more advantageous to a player than the normal game state as game states permitting execution of a variation display of a special pattern. The normal game state includes: a first normal game state (for example, a first normal game state); and a second normal game state (for example, a second normal game state) differing from the first normal game state. The specific game state includes: a first specific game state (for example, a first time-shortening game state); a second specific game state (for example, a second time-shortening game state) differing from the first specific game state; and a third specific game state (for example, a third time-shortening game state) differing from the first specific game state and the second specific game state. When the number of variation times in which a variation display of a special pattern is performed reaches a predetermined, specific number of times, the normal game state can be shifted to the third specific game state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 264

Claims

[Claim 1] In a gaming machine capable of variably displaying identification symbols, A performance execution means for executing a performance; A game state control means for shifting a game state and controlling the shifted game state; A variable identification symbol display control means for displaying the first identification symbol or the second identification symbol among the identification symbols in a variable manner for a predetermined period of time and then displaying the first identification symbol or the second identification symbol in a stationary manner; Equipped with The game state control means includes: The game state can be controlled to any one of the game states including at least a normal game state, a specific game state different from the normal game state, a special game state which is a game state different from the normal game state and the specific game state and can provide a player with a predetermined benefit when a special condition is satisfied, and a predetermined game state which can provide a player with a lesser benefit than the special game state when a predetermined condition different from the special condition is satisfied; The specific game state includes at least a first specific game state that can be ended when the number of times that the predetermined condition is satisfied is a first number, and a second specific game state that can be ended when the number of times that the predetermined condition is satisfied is a second number that is greater than the first number, 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 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 special condition is satisfied by the variable display of the identification symbol executed in the specific game state, the presentation mode executed when the special condition is satisfied can be continuously executed in the specific game state after the special game state ends. The identification pattern variable display control means When the number of variations reaches a specific number of times while being controlled to the specific game state, the second identification symbol can be varied in a first variation time, The performance execution means includes: When the second identification symbol is variably displayed according to the first variation time, different effects can be executed depending on whether the stop mode of the second identification symbol satisfies the special condition or does not satisfy the special condition; When the variation of the second identification pattern satisfies the predetermined condition, a suggestion performance and a notification performance can be executed, When the game state control means controls the game state to the first specific game state, the game state control means executes the suggestion effect that suggests the possibility of controlling the game state to the predetermined game state, and then executes the notification effect that notifies the game state that the game state will be controlled to the predetermined game state. When the game state control means controls the game to the second specific game state, it is possible to prevent either the suggestion effect or the notification effect from being executed.
