Abstract
Claims
[Claim 1] A gaming machine that, upon fulfilling the activation conditions, displays variable special identification information and can be controlled to a favorable state in which the player performs a predetermined number of rounds of gameplay that are advantageous to the player, A pre-launch operation means capable of accepting input before the game ball is launched, Movable body and, A transmission means capable of transmitting start information corresponding to a variable display pattern that includes a specific variable display pattern, A performance control means including a receiving means capable of receiving the aforementioned start information, Movable body control means, Display means and Multiple light-emitting means, It comprises a light emission control means, The aforementioned display means is During the first period after the variable display has ended, the background display is shown. In the second period following the end of the first period, a demonstration display is shown. If the pre-launch operation means is operated while the demonstration display is being shown, the display will switch from the demonstration display to the background display. It is possible to display a variable display of performance identification information corresponding to the variable display of the special identification information. When the aforementioned starting condition is met, the variable display of the performance identification information is displayed such that the transparency of the performance identification information changes from a first value to a second value which is higher than the first value. When the aforementioned demonstration display is displayed and the activation condition is met, the display is switched from the demonstration display to the variable display of the performance identification information before the transparency of the performance identification information reaches the second value. The aforementioned light emission control means is During the first period, a predetermined light-emitting means among the plurality of light-emitting means is controlled using a background display brightness data table corresponding to the background display. During the second period, the predetermined light-emitting means is controlled using the demonstration display brightness data table corresponding to the demonstration display. When the start condition is met while the demonstration display is displayed by the display means, the predetermined light-emitting means controls the predetermined light-emitting means by switching from the demonstration display to the display corresponding to the variable display of the performance identification information before the display means switches from the demonstration display brightness data table to the brightness data table corresponding to the variable display of the performance identification information. When the pre-launch operation means is operated while the demonstration display is displayed by the display means, the light-emitting means is controlled by switching from the demonstration display brightness data table to the background display brightness data table before the display means switches from the demonstration display to the background display. 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 performance control means is During the variable display based on the aforementioned specific variable display pattern, it is possible to perform action-promoting effects that encourage the player to take action. After the final round of gameplay is completed, the ending sequence can be executed during a predetermined ending period. The aforementioned specific variable display pattern is The first part is until the aforementioned action acceleration effect is executed, A second part is performed after the first part, and 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 third period, and a second operation control pattern that operates the movable body for a fourth period shorter than the third period. If a power outage occurs immediately before the end of a predetermined variable display that is executed based on the fulfillment of one starting condition, and then power is turned on, and the receiving means does not receive start information corresponding to the specific variable display pattern when a variable display that is executed based on the fulfillment of the next starting condition of the first starting condition is performed, then a first movable body control pattern performs the confirmation operation control in the first operation control pattern, A second movable body control pattern controls the movable body such that, while the variable display based on the first starting condition is being executed, the confirmation operation control is performed in the second operation control pattern and the confirmation operation control is completed before the second part is started, and the power is then turned on and the receiving means receives start information corresponding to the specific variable display pattern when the variable display based on the first starting condition is being executed. It is possible to perform the confirmation operation control using multiple types of patterns, including The aforementioned display means is It is possible to display a startup preparation indicator when the power is turned on. The startup preparation indicator can be displayed in a common manner whether the power is interrupted while the system is controlled to the advantageous state and then the power is restored, or whether the power is interrupted while the system is not controlled to the advantageous state and then the power is restored. The game control means further includes a game control means capable of performing special identification information emission control, which is the control of a special light-emitting means among the plurality of light-emitting means that show the result of the variable display of the special identification information when the power is turned on, The aforementioned movable body control means is It is possible to start the confirmation operation control after the start preparation display has been initiated. It is possible to start the confirmation operation control after the special identification information emission control has started. When it is notified that the system will be controlled to the advantageous state, it is possible to perform a performance action control that operates the movable body by an action to notify that the system will be controlled to the advantageous state. If no power outage occurs during the aforementioned ending period, the motion control for operating the movable body during the execution of the aforementioned ending sequence will not be performed. If a power outage occurs immediately after the start of the ending period, and power is subsequently restored, it is possible to control the movable body so that the confirmation operation control ends before the end of the ending period. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
