Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can suppress the decline in the operation and enjoyment of the gaming machine. [Solution] When predetermined conditions are met, the recommended stop operation is to first press a specific stop button, and if the recommended stop operation is not performed, the player may be at a disadvantage compared to when the recommended stop operation is performed. When predetermined conditions are met, it is possible to start a simulated game, and if the first stop operation is performed on a specific stop button, the simulated game is terminated and normal gameplay is started, and if the first stop operation is not performed on a specific stop button, the simulated game can be continued, and even if the first stop operation is not performed on a specific stop button, if the simulated game continues, the player will not be at a disadvantage.

Claims

1. A variable display means capable of displaying multiple patterns in multiple display columns, Multiple stop buttons are provided corresponding to the aforementioned multiple display columns and capable of receiving stop operations by the player, A normal game control means for controlling the progress of normal gameplay, A gaming machine comprising a simulated game control means for controlling the progress of a simulated game, The normal game control means is capable of stopping the symbols displayed on the variable display means in response to a stop operation performed by the player during the normal game that has been started, and is capable of granting a bonus corresponding to the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the variable display means. The simulated game control means is capable of simulating stopping the symbols displayed on the variable display means in response to a stop operation performed by the player during the simulated game that has been started, and is capable of starting the normal game when the simulated game has ended. When certain conditions are met, the recommended stop operation is to first perform the stop operation on a specific stop button corresponding to a specific display column, and if the recommended stop operation is not performed, the player may be at a disadvantage compared to when the recommended stop operation is performed. The simulated game control means is capable of starting the simulated game when the predetermined conditions are met, and when the first stop operation is performed on the specific stop button corresponding to the specific display column, it terminates the simulated game and starts the normal game, and based on the stop operation, it enables the normal game control means to stop displaying the symbols of the specific display column, and when the first stop operation is not performed on the specific stop button corresponding to the specific display column, it is possible to continue the simulated game. Even if the stop operation is not initially performed on the specific stop button corresponding to the specific display column, if the simulated game continues, the player will not be disadvantaged. The aforementioned simulated game control means is characterized in that, when the simulated game is being continued, if a stop operation is performed on all of the multiple stop buttons, the variable display means can simulate stopping and displaying a losing combination of symbols.

2. A variable display means capable of displaying multiple patterns in multiple display columns, Multiple stop buttons are provided corresponding to the aforementioned multiple display columns and capable of receiving stop operations by the player, A normal game control means for controlling the progress of normal gameplay, A simulated game control means for controlling the progress of the simulated game, A gaming machine comprising: advantageous state control means capable of controlling the machine to an advantageous state in which the player can be instructed on the order in which to operate the stop buttons; The normal game control means is capable of stopping the symbols displayed on the variable display means in response to a stop operation performed by the player during the normal game that has been started, and is capable of granting a bonus corresponding to the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the variable display means. The simulated game control means is capable of simulating stopping the symbols displayed on the variable display means in response to a stop operation performed by the player during the simulated game that has been started, and is capable of starting the normal game when the simulated game has ended. When certain conditions are met in the aforementioned advantageous state, the recommended stop operation is to first perform the stop operation on the stop button corresponding to the indicated display column, and if the recommended stop operation is not performed, the player may be at a disadvantage compared to when the recommended stop operation is performed. The simulated game control means is capable of starting the simulated game when the specific conditions are met in the advantageous state, and when the stop operation is first performed on the stop button corresponding to the indicated display column, it terminates the simulated game and starts the normal game, and based on the stop operation, it enables the normal game control means to stop displaying the symbols of the indicated display column, and when the stop operation is not first performed on the stop button corresponding to the indicated display column, it is possible to continue the simulated game. A gaming machine characterized in that, even if the stop operation is not initially performed on the stop button corresponding to the indicated display column, the simulated game continues without putting the player at a disadvantage.
