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】 launching means for launching game balls; a ball entry area where game balls 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; a ball entry area where game balls can enter, and a normal symbol entry area where the normal symbol can be varied based on the entry of the game ball; a ball entry area where the predetermined special symbol, the specific special symbol, and the normal symbol are not varied even when a game ball enters, and the game ball can enter when the launching mode by the launching means is the first launching mode, and the game ball cannot enter when the launching mode by the launching means is the second launching mode, a specific ball entry area; bonus ball entry means that allows a game ball to enter when the launching mode by the launching means is the second launching mode; notification means that can be in a specific notification mode for notifying that the recommended launching mode is the second launching mode; A gaming machine comprising: This gaming machine is configured such that: During a predetermined waiting period in which the execution of a predetermined special gaming state for causing the bonus ball 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, the notification means is configured to execute the specific notification mode; This gaming machine is configured such that: During the predetermined waiting period in which the notification means is not executing the specific notification mode, when a predetermined condition for releasing the bonus ball entry means is satisfied based on a game ball entering the specific ball entry area, a predetermined special gaming state can be generated after the execution of predetermined control; When the launching mode by the launching means is the first launching mode, the gaming machine is configured such that game balls that enter the specific ball entry area and game balls that do not enter the specific ball entry area can occur; This gaming machine is configured such that: it includes predetermined information storage means that can store predetermined information triggered by a game ball entering the specific ball 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 configured such that: it includes effect control means capable of executing various effects; The effect control means is configured such that: Even in a gaming situation where a special gaming state can occur based on a game ball being launched in the first launch mode and the game ball entering the specific ball entry area, the control is configured to be able to perform control that does not execute an effect for notifying that the recommended launch mode is the first launch mode. This gaming machine is configured to be able to switch between an effective state that enables the entry of a game ball into the specific ball entry area during the predetermined standby period based on the occurrence of a predetermined gaming condition, 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 condition is not satisfied. This gaming machine has a case where when a game ball enters the specific ball entry area in the effective state during the predetermined standby period, the predetermined condition is satisfied and the predetermined special gaming state based on the entry is generated, and a case where even if a game ball enters the specific ball entry area in the effective state during the predetermined standby period, the predetermined condition is not satisfied and the predetermined special gaming state based on the entry is not generated. In the case of generating there is a first case where the predetermined special gaming state is generated after the elapse of a first period after the game ball enters the specific ball entry area, and a second case where the predetermined special gaming state is generated after the elapse of a second period longer than the first period after the 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 for the first case, the second case, and the case where the generation is not performed. This gaming machine is configured to be able to execute a predetermined effect during the first period in the first case. During the second period in 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 gaming 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 is configured to be able to execute at least a first gaming situation where the predetermined special gaming state can occur based on a game ball being launched in the first launch mode and the game ball entering the specific ball entry area, and a second gaming situation that is more advantageous to the player than the first gaming situation. The specific ball entry area is configured such that only one is provided at a position where a game ball can enter when the firing mode by the firing means is the first firing mode. The predetermined special game state can 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.
