Abstract

To execute a time-shortening game with a stable variation frequency.SOLUTION: A game machine includes: shooting means of game balls; opening / closing operation means having opening / closing means and a predetermined start pocket; execution means for executing a predetermined variation display for a predetermined period; control means for executing a predetermined control process including a right reservation process and a reservation correspondence process; means for stopping a predetermined variation display with a predetermined display result; and means for generating a special game state after stopping with a predetermined display result. Further, the game machine includes: means for executing a specific game state of the opening / closing operation means during a specific period on the basis of satisfaction of a specific condition; and specific game completion means for completing a specific game state. The specific game completion means at least completes a specific game state when a predetermined variation display is performed for a specific number of times, namely N times, and predetermined control processing is not performed, when a predetermined variation display is executed for N-1 times and predetermined control processing is executed once, or when a predetermined variation display is executed for N-2 times and predetermined control processing is executed twice.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 463

Claims

【Claim 1】 Launch means for launching a game ball, An entrance area where a game ball can enter, and a predetermined special symbol and a specific special symbol different from the predetermined special symbol can be respectively varied based on the entry of the game ball. A predetermined special symbol entry area, An entrance area where a game ball can enter, and a normal symbol entry area where the normal symbol can be varied based on the entry of the game ball, An entrance area where the predetermined special symbol, the specific special symbol, and the normal symbol do not change even when a game ball enters. When the launch mode by the launch means is the first launch mode, the game ball can enter. When the launch mode by the launch means is the second launch mode, a specific entry area where the game ball cannot enter, A privilege entry means for allowing a game ball to enter when the launch mode by the launch means is the second launch mode, Notification means that can be in a specific notification mode for notifying that the recommended launch mode is the second launch mode, A gaming machine comprising: This gaming machine, During a predetermined waiting period in which the execution of a predetermined special gaming state for causing the privilege entry means to perform a predetermined opening is determined, the specific notification mode is not executed by the notification means, During the execution of the predetermined special gaming state, it is configured to execute the specific notification mode by the notification means, This gaming machine, During the predetermined waiting period in which the notification means is not executing the specific notification mode, when a predetermined condition for releasing the privilege entry means is satisfied based on a game ball entering the specific entry area, it is configured to be able to generate the predetermined special gaming state after the execution of predetermined control, This gaming machine, Is provided with predetermined information storage means capable of storing predetermined information triggered by the entry of a game ball into the specific entry area, After a specific type of the predetermined information is stored in the predetermined information storage means, the start timing of the predetermined special gaming state executed after the end of the predetermined control can be set, This gaming machine, Is provided with effect control means capable of executing various effects, The effect control means, Even in a gaming situation where the predetermined special gaming state can occur based on a game ball being launched in the first launch mode and entering the specific entry area, it is configured to be able to perform control not to execute an effect for notifying that the recommended launch mode is the first launch mode, This gaming machine, Based on the occurrence of predetermined game conditions, it is configured to be able to switch states between an effective state that validates the entry of a game ball into the specific ball entry area during the predetermined standby period and an invalid state that invalidates the entry of a game ball into the specific ball entry area during the predetermined standby period. Even if a game ball enters the specific ball entry area in the invalid state during the predetermined standby period, it is configured such that the predetermined conditions are not satisfied. This gaming machine There are a case where the predetermined conditions are satisfied when a game ball enters the specific ball entry area in the effective state during the predetermined standby period and a predetermined special game state based on the entry is generated, and a case where the predetermined conditions are not satisfied even when a game ball enters the specific ball entry area in the effective state during the predetermined standby period and the predetermined special game state based on the entry is not generated. In the case of generating A first case where the predetermined special game state is generated after the elapse of a first period after a game ball enters the specific ball entry area, A second case where the predetermined special game state is generated after the elapse of a second period longer than the first period after a game ball enters the specific ball entry area, is included. After a game ball enters the specific ball entry area, it is configured to be able to execute different effects depending on the first case, the second case, and the case of not generating. This gaming machine In the first period of the first case, it is configured to be able to execute a predetermined effect. In the second period of the second case, the same effect as the predetermined effect is executed, and it is configured to be able to execute an effect different from the predetermined effect following the execution of the effect. In the case where the predetermined special game state is not generated even if a game ball enters the specific ball entry area, it is configured to be able to execute the same effect as the predetermined effect after the entry of the game ball into the specific ball entry area. This gaming machine It is configured to be able to execute at least a first game situation in which the predetermined special game state can be generated based on a game ball being launched in the first launch mode and entering the specific ball entry area, and a second game situation more advantageous to the player than the first game situation. The specific ball entry area is configured to be provided with only one position where a game ball can enter when the launch mode by the launching means is the first launch mode. The predetermined special game state can be configured to be executed based on a game ball entering the specific ball entry area, whether it is the first game situation or the second game situation. A gaming machine characterized by the above.
