Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine that can control a custom game in an appropriate manner and enhance the soundness of a game.SOLUTION: A game machine in which a player can select one of a plurality of performance setting patterns and have it reflected in a performance during a game includes selection means capable of selecting a specific performance setting pattern from among the plurality of performance setting patterns, and determination means for determining a situation of the game machine. The specific performance setting pattern can be applied to the game after a predetermined waiting period after selection by the selection means when the game is in progress. When it is determined that a predetermined situation has occurred during the waiting period until the specific performance setting pattern is applied, a specific performance based on the specific performance setting pattern can be executed in a suppressed manner in the subsequent game.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

[Claim 1] In a gaming machine in which the player can select one of several performance setting patterns and have it reflected in the performance, A setting means that can set a specific performance setting pattern from among the multiple performance setting patterns in response to a selection operation by the player, A determination means for determining that a specific situation has occurred in the gaming machine, Equipped with, The aforementioned specific performance setting pattern can be applied to the game after a predetermined waiting period following a setting by the setting means during a game progress state in which the game is in progress. The setting means includes a first setting means capable of setting a first specific performance setting pattern as the specific performance setting pattern, and a second setting means capable of setting a second specific performance setting pattern as the specific performance setting pattern. The aforementioned specific situation is the same situation that can occur in either the state in which the first specific performance setting pattern is set by the first setting means, or the state in which the second specific performance setting pattern is set by the second setting means. If it is determined that the specific situation occurs during the waiting period between the setting of the first specific performance setting pattern by the first setting means and its application to the game in the aforementioned game progression state, then control in a restrictive manner that does not perform the performance based on the setting by the first setting means is immediately performed. If it is determined that the specific situation has occurred during the waiting period between the setting of the second specific performance setting pattern by the second setting means and its application to the game in the aforementioned game progression state, the control in a restrictive manner that does not perform the performance based on the setting by the second setting means will not be performed until at least a predetermined period has elapsed since it was determined that the specific situation has occurred. Furthermore, the system includes specific detection means that perform detections that may trigger the occurrence of the aforementioned specific situation. Prior to detection by the specified detection means that could trigger the occurrence of the specified situation, advance notice regarding control in the restrictive mode is given. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
