Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine that allows a player's sense of expectation toward a jackpot to range widely so as to prevent a suggestive performance regarding whether a performance having high reliability of resulting in a jackpot game state is executed from becoming monotonous, and is full of variety so as not to arouse an unnecessary sense of expectation for the player even if a sense of expectation toward a jackpot game state is lost.SOLUTION: A game machine includes: a first variation performance for executing a first ready-to-win performance (a normal ready-to-win performance shown in Fig. 35(a)) or a second ready-to-win performance (a weak SP ready-to-win performance shown in Fig. 35(e-2)) through a normal variation; a second variation performance for executing a particular performance (a separate route performance shown in Fig 35(e-1)) through a normal variation; a first inflaming performance (a development inflaming performance shown in Figs. 35(b) to (c)) for suggesting whether control is shifted from the first ready-to-win performance to the second ready-to-win performance; and a second inflaming performance (a development inflaming performance shown in Figs. 35(b) to (c)) for suggesting whether control is shifted to a particular performance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 35

Claims

[Claim 1] The first variation sequence is performed after a normal variation in the symbol variation that is executed in response to a lottery process caused by gameplay, and the first reach sequence is performed. It includes a development prompting effect that indicates whether or not to transition from the normal variation to the first reach effect, The aforementioned development prompting effect is determined in advance by lottery whether or not to display the first development prompting effect that suggests whether or not to transition from the normal variation to the first reach effect. The aforementioned development-enhancing effect allows for the execution of a development success effect indicating that the variation effect will continue by transitioning to the first reach effect, and a development failure effect indicating that the transition will not occur. The aforementioned failure to develop is a performance in which, even if the subsequent variation performance proceeds, there is no possibility that the result of the lottery process will be a winning one, and the outcome is guaranteed to be a loss. In the aforementioned development-enhancing effect, the decorative symbols displayed on the display means in accordance with the identification information for the lottery result when the lottery process is executed are hidden, and a permanent symbol, which is displayed at a smaller size than the decorative symbols, is continuously displayed in the variation from the normal variation. After the aforementioned failure to develop sequence is executed, the decorative pattern is displayed on the display means in a stopped state without scrolling or stopping it. The display of the permanently resident symbols continues to be displayed in a variable state from the development-enhancing effect, and thereafter, after the display of the stopped decorative symbols, it switches to a display of losing symbols and is displayed on the display means, and the variable display also stops and is displayed.
