Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suitably performing a specific notification.SOLUTION: When game balls enter a first operation hole 62 or a second operation hole 63, a special pattern winning / losing lottery is executed, and a stop result corresponding to the result is stopped and displayed in a special pattern display part 43. A game machine has a normal losing result and a particular losing result as losing results, and can determine presence or absence of a shift to a sudden time-shortening game state when the particular losing result occurs. The game machine executes a shift to a sudden time-shortening game state when determining presence of a shift by the determination and restricts a shift to a sudden time-shortening game state when determining absence of a shift. The game machine includes multiple kinds of stop results as stop results corresponding to a particular losing result, and determines which of them is stopped and displayed by referring to the determination result.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

A pre-identification means for identifying information corresponding to the determination result when the predetermined special information obtained by the information acquisition means becomes subject to the assignment determination, at a time prior to when the special information becomes subject to the assignment determination; A specification mode means that makes it possible to make the notification mode of the hold notification different from the normal mode based on the specification result of the aforementioned specification means, Equipped with, The aforementioned specific embodiment includes multiple types of embodiments, each with a different degree of expectation regarding the resulting assignment. A means for determining which of the multiple types of modes the notification mode for the pending notification should be based on the results of the prior identification means, With respect to the aforementioned specific mode of the reserved notification, means for storing predetermined information in a predetermined storage area that can identify which of the plurality of modes the notification mode of the reserved notification is, Equipped with, In the first performance state, when the notification mode of a predetermined hold notification is set to the specified mode, the system is configured such that at least for the predetermined hold notification, the hold notification may be performed in the specified mode or the hold notification may not be performed, resulting in a second performance state. The aforementioned second performance state is different from the aforementioned predetermined reach performance, After the termination of the second performance state, an execution means is provided to ensure that, with respect to at least the predetermined hold notification, the hold notification is executed in the same notification mode as the notification mode before the second performance state was entered, based on the predetermined information stored in the predetermined storage area, without performing the determination based on the identification result of the prior identification means. A means that enables the execution of a first notification, which is different from the aforementioned notification for holding, and which corresponds to the number of holdings, Equipped with, The system is configured such that the transition from the first performance state to the second performance state can be performed without any action from the player. The execution means is capable of, after the end of the second performance state, ensuring that the predetermined hold notification is executed in the same notification manner as before the second performance state, without executing the hold notification in the normal manner. The system is configured such that the identification of the prior identification means for special information acquired in the second performance state can be performed in the second performance state. Before the notification mode of the pending notification becomes one of the above-mentioned multiple modes, it is possible to execute a second notification that can suggest a change in the notification mode. A gaming machine characterized in that, after the end of the second performance state, if the predetermined hold notification is executed in the same notification manner as the notification manner before the second performance state was entered, the second notification is not executed.

2. An information acquisition means that acquires special information based on the fulfillment of predetermined acquisition conditions, An acquired information storage means that stores special information acquired by the aforementioned information acquisition means up to a predetermined upper limit, An assignment determination means that performs an assignment determination to determine whether the special information stored in the acquired information storage means corresponds to the assignment information, A reward granting means that, based on the result of the granting determination by the granting determination means, the special information subject to determination corresponds to the granting information, the reward granting means is capable of granting a reward to the player, A game cycle control means controls a predetermined notification means to perform the game cycle operation so that the game cycle operation is executed when the grant determination means performs a grant determination and the game cycle operation is terminated with a notification result corresponding to the determination result of the grant determination, which is considered one game cycle. Means that enable the execution of a predetermined reach animation during the execution of the aforementioned game rotation operation, A means for executing a hold display using a predetermined notification means or a notification means different from the predetermined notification means, which is capable of displaying the number of reserved game rounds before execution so that the player can recognize the number of reserved game rounds before execution, and displaying the number of reserved game rounds so that the player can recognize the execution of the reserved game rounds. A pre-identification means for identifying information corresponding to the determination result when the predetermined special information obtained by the information acquisition means becomes subject to the assignment determination, at a time prior to when the special information becomes subject to the assignment determination; A specification mode means that makes it possible to make the display mode of the hold indicator different from the normal mode based on the specification result of the aforementioned specification means, Equipped with, The aforementioned specific embodiment includes multiple types of embodiments, each with a different degree of expectation regarding the resulting assignment. A means for determining which of the multiple types of display modes the pending display should be based on the results of the prior identification means, With respect to the aforementioned specific form of the hold display, means for storing predetermined information in a predetermined storage area that can identify which of the multiple types of display forms the hold display is, Equipped with, In the first performance state, when the display mode of a predetermined hold indicator is set to the specified mode, the system is configured such that at least the predetermined hold indicator may result in a second performance state in which the hold indicator is displayed in the specified mode or the hold indicator is not displayed. The aforementioned second performance state is different from the aforementioned predetermined reach performance, After the termination of the second performance state, an execution means is provided to ensure that, with respect to at least the predetermined pending display, the pending display is executed in the same display mode as the display mode before the second performance state was entered, based on the predetermined information stored in the predetermined storage area, without performing the determination based on the identification result of the prior identification means.
