Abstract

To improve the interest in a game.SOLUTION: A game machine includes: first output means which continuously outputs information in a period of a special game state or in a specific period; output stop means which stops the output of the information at an end of the specific period; storage means which stores the number of pieces of second special information at the end of the specific period; and second output means which, when the number of pieces of the second special information is one or more after the end of the specific period, can continuously output predetermined information which allows discrimination of a state in which a predetermined variable display may be executed, until an end of a predetermined number of variable displays corresponding to the number of pieces of the second special information. The second output means includes means which continuously outputs the predetermined information until a predetermined period lapses after the last variable display of the predetermined number of variable displays ends and a stop display is realized, and means which outputs the predetermined information in a mode different from that of the information. The game machine includes means which outputs a signal for displaying a specific image, when it is determined that special information related to a game round executed in outputting the predetermined information satisfies a predetermined condition.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 556

Claims

[Claim 1] A launching mechanism for launching game balls, A ball entry area into which a game ball can be entered, and a predetermined special symbol entry area in which a predetermined special symbol and a specific special symbol different from the predetermined special symbol can be changed based on the entry of a game ball, A ball entry area into which a game ball can be entered, and a normal symbol entry area into which the normal symbols can be changed based on the entry of a game ball, A ball entry area in which the predetermined special symbols, the specific special symbols, and the ordinary symbols do not change even when a game ball enters, and in a specific ball entry area in which a game ball can enter when the firing mode by the firing means is the first firing mode, and in which a game ball cannot enter when the firing mode by the firing means is the second firing mode, A special ball entry means into which a game ball can be entered when the firing mode by the aforementioned firing means is the second firing mode, A notification means that can be a specific notification mode for notifying that the recommended launch mode is the second launch mode, A gaming machine equipped with, This gaming machine is During a predetermined waiting period in which the execution of a predetermined special game state that causes the aforementioned bonus ball entry means to perform a predetermined opening is confirmed, the notification means does not execute the specified notification mode. During the execution of the predetermined special game state, the notification means is configured to execute the specific notification mode. This gaming machine is During the predetermined waiting period when the notification means is not performing the specific notification mode, if a predetermined condition for opening the special ball entry means based on a game ball entering the specific ball entry area is met, the system is configured to generate the predetermined special game state after the execution of the predetermined control. When the firing mode by the firing means is the first firing mode, the system is configured such that some game balls may enter the specific ball entry area and some game balls may not enter the specific ball entry area. This gaming machine is Equipped with performance control means capable of executing various effects, The aforementioned performance control means is Even in a game situation where a predetermined special game state can occur based on the game ball being launched in the first launch mode and entering the specific ball entry area, the system is configured to control the execution of a specific performance that notifies that the recommended launch mode is the first launch mode. This gaming machine is The system is configured to switch between an enabled state, which enables the entry of game balls into the specific ball entry area during the predetermined waiting period, and an disabled state, which disables the entry of game balls into the specific ball entry area during the predetermined waiting period, based on the occurrence of predetermined game conditions. Even if a game ball enters the invalid state of the specific ball entry area during the predetermined waiting period, the predetermined conditions will not be met. This gaming machine is There are cases in which, when a game ball enters the specified ball entry area in the active state during the predetermined waiting period, the predetermined conditions are met and the predetermined special game state based on the ball entry is generated, and cases in which, even if a game ball enters the specified ball entry area in the active state during the predetermined waiting period, the predetermined conditions are not met and the predetermined special game state based on the ball entry is not generated. When causing the aforementioned to occur, In the first case, the predetermined special game state is generated after a first period has elapsed since the game ball entered the specified ball entry area, In a second case, the predetermined special game state is generated after a second period, which is longer than the first period, has elapsed since the game ball entered the specified ball entry area. It includes, In the first case, during the first period, the system is configured to perform a predetermined effect, In the second case, during the second period, the system is configured to execute the same performance as the predetermined performance, and to execute a performance different from the predetermined performance immediately following that performance. If a game ball enters the specified ball entry area but does not generate the predetermined special game state, the system is configured to execute the same predetermined performance after the game ball enters the specified ball entry area. The aforementioned performance control means is The system is configured to enable control to perform a specific animation that notifies that the recommended firing mode is the first firing mode during the predetermined waiting period that is executed when the recommended firing mode is the first firing mode. The system is configured to control the execution of the specific performance during the predetermined waiting period for the predetermined special game state determined based on the reserved lottery right when the recommended firing mode is the second firing mode. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
