Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suppressing a decrease in interest of a game.SOLUTION: A game machine includes count value update means for updating a count value related to each ball entry when a game ball enters a first ball entry port and when a game ball enters a second ball entry port, specific game state control means for controlling the game state to a specific game state different from a big winning game state when the count value becomes a specific value, and performance control means for executing predetermined performance control. When a game ball enters at least the first ball entry port, variation display of a special symbol is performed over a predetermined variation time. When a game ball enters the second ball entry port and the count value becomes a specific value during the variation display of the special symbol, the specific game state is started during the variation display of the special symbol.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 182

Claims

[Claim 1] A gaming machine that enables predetermined symbol changes based on the fulfillment of predetermined starting conditions, A first light-emitting part is provided at a predetermined position, A rainbow light emission control means for causing the first light-emitting unit to emit light in a rainbow pattern, It comprises a second light-emitting part, which is a separate component from the first light-emitting part and is capable of emitting light in a rainbow pattern, The second light-emitting section is provided with a plurality of light-emitting elements, and a rainbow pattern can be created by the light emitted by the plurality of light-emitting elements. The second light-emitting unit is designed so that it is not detected as abnormal even when it is not electrically connected to the gaming machine. If the second light-emitting unit is electrically connected to the gaming machine during a specific period when the predetermined symbol variation is not being performed and the first light-emitting unit is performing rainbow-patterned light emission, then the second light-emitting unit electrically connected to the gaming machine can emit rainbow-patterned light emission during that specific period. The rainbow light emission control means causes the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit to emit light in a rainbow pattern during the specified period, but even if a malfunction occurs in the first light-emitting unit during the specified period and the first light-emitting unit is unable to emit light in a rainbow pattern, it is still possible to cause the second light-emitting unit to emit light in a rainbow pattern. Furthermore, the system further includes a special light-emitting section separate from the first light-emitting section and the second light-emitting section, The special light-emitting unit is capable of emitting light in a rainbow pattern during a special period, which is a period separate from the specified period. The special light-emitting unit is configured to be able to emit light in a rainbow pattern during the special period, but not to emit light in a rainbow pattern during the specified period. Furthermore, at least one light intensity adjustment operation is possible that allows for adjustment of the light intensity of the first light-emitting unit. Furthermore, the system further comprises a special light-emitting unit separate from the first and second light-emitting units, the special light-emitting unit capable of performing a special light emission, which is different from the rainbow-like light emission, at least during the specified period. The light intensity of the first light-emitting unit may be adjusted as a result of the aforementioned light intensity adjustment operation, but the light intensity of the special light-emitting unit is not adjusted as a result of the aforementioned light intensity adjustment operation. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
