Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a well-considered game machine capable of diversifying a player's expectation for a jackpot for a performance with high reliability to achieve a jackpot game state so that a suggestive performance on whether or not the performance is executed does not become monotonous, which does not stir up the player's expectation unnecessarily even when the expectation for a jackpot game state is impaired.SOLUTION: A game machine can execute: a variation performance for executing another route performance through normal variation in symbol variation executed in response to lottery processing attributed to a game operation; a development success performance indicating transition to another route performance; and a development stir-up performance capable of executing a development failure performance indicating that the transition is not made (failure confirmation performance shown in Fig.39(f)). The development failure performance is a performance in which losing is confirmed and there is no possibility of becoming a winning mode even if a variation performance is progressed later.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 39

Claims

[Claim 1] A first variation sequence is performed in which, after a normal variation in the symbol variation that is executed in response to a lottery process resulting from the game action, a first reach sequence is performed or a second reach sequence which has a higher reliability than the first reach sequence, A second variation sequence, which executes a special sequence different from the first reach sequence after the normal variation sequence, The game has a development prompting effect that indicates whether or not it will 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 symbol continues to change from the development-enhancing effect, and then switches to displaying the losing symbol, which is displayed on the display means, and the change display also stops. The second reach animation does not transition to the special animation, however, in the case of the first reach animation and the second reach animation, the special animation can only be performed if the result of the lottery process is a win after a losing indication for the second reach animation is displayed on the display means, and it is not possible to transition to the special animation after a losing indication for the first reach animation is displayed on the display means. A gaming machine that can transition to the special performance without performing any teasing animations indicating whether or not to transition from the second reach animation to the special performance.
