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 in response to an operation reception for the first operating means can occur multiple times, and, when the second operating means is maintained in an operating state, a post-acceptance change in response to an operation reception for the second operating means can occur multiple times, 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 maintained in an operating state while an operation instruction related to the first operating means is displayed, the post-acceptance change that can occur multiple times in response to operation acceptance of the first operating means includes a first post-acceptance change that can occur at regular time intervals, whereas: When the second operating means is maintained in an operating state while an operation instruction related to the second operating means is displayed, the post-acceptance changes that can occur multiple times in response to operation acceptance of the second operating means include a second post-acceptance change that can occur at regular time intervals and a third post-acceptance change that can occur at irregular time intervals, moreover, the operation instruction for the first operating means is displayed in the same display mode in two cases: when the specific termination condition is satisfied while the special sound is being output and the output state of the special sound is terminated early at an intermediate stage before the elapse of the output time corresponding to the special sound; and when the specific termination condition is not satisfied and the output state of the special sound continues for the output time corresponding to the special sound; 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.
