Abstract

To provide a game machine allowing a player to recognize execution of a movable body performance while preventing disturbance of operation confirmation of a movable body by performance operation.SOLUTION: A game machine includes control means for performing operation confirmation of a movable body corresponding to a situation when power is turned on for preventing disturbance of a performance or the like to be executed after power is turned on.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12

Claims

[Claim 1] A gaming machine that performs variable display and can control the state to be advantageous, Game control means, Means of execution of the performance, A transmission means for transmitting start information corresponding to a variable display pattern that includes a specific variable display pattern, Receiving means for receiving the start information, A means of retaining memory, Movable body and, It comprises a movable body control means, There is a normal state and a special state that is more advantageous than the normal state. A predetermined display area can be used to display a predetermined indication related to the advantageous state. A special display area can display a special display whose form can change during the special state. The predetermined display relating to the advantageous state in the predetermined display area is such that the mode does not change during the special state. The aforementioned movable body control means is capable of performing confirmation operation control to operate the movable body by performing an operation to confirm that the movable body is functioning normally when the power is turned on. The aforementioned confirmation operation control is a control that operates the movable body so that it does not overlap the special display area with the predetermined display area. The aforementioned performance execution means is capable of performing action-promoting performances that encourage the player to take action on the operating means in a variable display based on the specific variable display pattern. The aforementioned specific variable display pattern is The first part is until the aforementioned action acceleration effect is performed, Following the first part, the second part is in which the results of the action acceleration performance are reported, It consists of, The aforementioned movable body control means is The confirmation operation control can be performed using a first operation control pattern that operates the movable body for a first period of time, and a second operation control pattern that operates the movable body for a second period shorter than the first period. A first movable body control pattern performs the confirmation operation control using the first operation control pattern when a power outage occurs immediately before the end of a predetermined variable display, and then the power is turned on, and the receiving means does not receive start information corresponding to the specific variable display pattern, A second movable body control pattern is provided which, when a power outage occurs immediately before the end of a predetermined variable display, and then power is turned on, and the receiving means receives start information corresponding to the specific variable display pattern, the second movable body control pattern controls the movable body in the variable display based on the specific variable display pattern so that the confirmation operation control is completed before the period corresponding to the second part, and It is possible to perform the confirmation operation control using multiple types of patterns, including It is possible to display a startup preparation indicator when the power is turned on. The movable body control means is capable of starting the confirmation operation control after the start preparation indicator is displayed. During variable display, it is possible to perform a movable body effect using the movable body, and to display an effect corresponding to the movable body effect. When the variable display that executes the movable body effect is started while the confirmation operation control is being performed, it is possible to continue the confirmation operation control and, during the confirmation operation control, restrict the movable body effect to display the effect display. The reserved storage means is capable of storing information related to variable displays as reserved storage, up to a predetermined number. The game control means can execute the next variable display when a variable display has finished, provided that there is a reserved memory corresponding to the next variable display. The aforementioned performance execution means is When a hold memory is stored, it is possible to display one of several types of hold displays, including a normal hold display and a special hold display that has a higher probability of being controlled to the advantageous state than the normal hold display. When a pending memory is stored, the normal pending display can be displayed by gradually changing through a plurality of normal intermediate modes, including a normal start mode, a normal completion mode, and a normal pre-completion mode which is the mode immediately preceding the normal completion mode. When a hold memory is stored, the special hold display can be displayed by gradually changing through a number of special intermediate modes, including a special start mode, a special completion mode, and a special pre-completion mode which is the mode immediately preceding the special completion mode. During variable display, it is possible to move the reserved display corresponding to a reserved memory already stored in memory from its current position to the position corresponding to the next variable display over a specific period of time, starting from the reserved shift start timing based on the timing when the next variable display starts. During the execution of the variable display of the number of reserved memories N times, which is a variable display when a number of reserved memories less than the predetermined number N is stored, When the period until the next variable display is started is longer than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the normal hold display is to be displayed, the normal hold display is to be started in the normal start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and then changed stepwise from the normal start mode to one of the multiple normal intermediate modes, and then changed to the normal completion mode, and this change is performed over the predetermined period to display the normal hold display. When the period until the next variable display is started is longer than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the special hold display is to be displayed, the special hold display is to be started in the special start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and then changed stepwise from the special start mode to the plurality of special intermediate modes, and then changed to the special completion mode, and this change is performed over the predetermined period to display the special hold display. When the period until the next variable display is started is shorter than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the normal hold display is to be displayed, the normal hold display is started in the normal start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and is changed from the normal start mode to a normal intermediate mode that is different from the normal pre-completion mode, and when the timing for the next variable display to be started arrives while the display is in the normal intermediate mode that is different from the pre-completion mode, the normal hold display is changed to the normal completion mode based on that timing and displayed. When the period until the next variable display is started is shorter than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the special hold display is to be displayed, the special hold display is started in the special start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and is changed from the special start mode to a special intermediate mode different from the special pre-completion mode, and when the timing for the next variable display to be started arrives while the display is in a special intermediate mode different from the special pre-completion mode, the display is changed to the special completion mode based on that timing and the special hold display is displayed. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
