Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of maintaining interest in a game.SOLUTION: A pachinko machine 1 has a start pocket capable of receiving game balls hit into a game area 5a. When a game ball enters the start pocket, determination processing regarding winning is performed. Thereafter, variable display corresponding to a result of the determination processing is started and, if a winning pattern is displayed in the variable display, a winning game is executed. Accordingly, the pachinko machine 1 can perform a special performance as a performance associated with operation means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 60

Claims

[Claim 1] a first operating means and a second operating means operable by a player; A determination means for making a determination; a bonus awarding means for awarding a bonus to a player based on a predetermined result being obtained in the determination by the determination means; Equipped with A gaming machine in which, when the first operating means is maintained in an operating state, a post-acceptance change may occur multiple times in response to an operation reception for the first operating means, and, when the second operating means is maintained in an operating state, a post-acceptance change may occur multiple times in response to an operation reception for the second operating means, a specific sound can be output when an operation instruction related to the second operation means is displayed, and the specific sound is maintained in an output state for an output time corresponding to the specific sound; When an operation instruction related to the first operation means is displayed, a special sound can be output, and there are cases where a specific end condition is satisfied while the special sound is being output, and cases where the specific end condition is not satisfied, and in these cases, when the specific end condition is satisfied while the special sound is being output, the output state of the special sound is terminated early at an intermediate stage before the elapse of an output time corresponding to the special sound, When the first operating means is set to a non-operated state while a change after acceptance has occurred in response to an operation acceptance to the first operating means, and then the first operating means is changed from the non-operated state to the operated state again, there is no case in which a process of changing the effect sound that was in an output state at that time to a non-output state is executed as a process in response to a new operation acceptance to the first operating means. When the second operating means is changed to a non-operated state while the post-acceptance change is occurring in response to the operation acceptance to the second operating means, and then the second operating means is changed from the non-operated state to the operated state again, a process can be executed in response to the new operation acceptance to the second operating means, in which at least one of the effect sounds that was in an output state at that time is changed to a non-output state; moreover, when the post-acceptance change occurs multiple times when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state while no operation instruction related to the first operation means is displayed, the interval at which the post-acceptance change occurs is the same as when the post-acceptance change occurs multiple times when the first operation means is maintained in an operating state while an operation instruction related to the first operation means is displayed, moreover, When the specific termination condition is satisfied while the operation instruction related to the first operating means is being displayed and the special sound is being output, the output state is terminated early at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, and the operation instruction related to the first operating means that had been displayed up until that point is also made non-displayable, moreover, In a situation where the special sound is being output and the first operating means is maintained in an operating state, if the specific termination condition is met and the output state of the special sound is terminated early at an intermediate stage before the output time corresponding to the special sound has elapsed, the probability that a bonus will be given to a player based on the predetermined result being obtained in the determination by the determination means is higher than if the specific termination condition is not met and the output state of the special sound continues for the output time corresponding to the special sound.
