Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine that can suppress the deterioration of reliability.SOLUTION: Performance control means starts a setting confirmation notification to notify the outside that a game state is a setting confirmation state when receiving the information regarding the start of the setting confirmation state, and terminates the setting confirmation notification when receiving the information regarding the termination of the setting confirmation state. When a transmission cutoff situation occurs in which information transmission by transmission means becomes impossible, and the performance control means cannot receive the information regarding the termination of the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation notification continues even after the setting confirmation state is terminated, and the continued setting confirmation notification is continued even after the transmission cutoff situation is resolved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 182

Claims

[Claim 1] A gaming machine that enables the variation of special symbols based on the entry of a ball into the starting slot, A first light-emitting part is provided at a predetermined position, A second light-emitting part, which is a separate component from the first light-emitting part, is provided at a predetermined position within the game board. The system includes a specific rainbow emission control means that causes the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit to emit light in a specific rainbow pattern, The second light-emitting section is provided with a plurality of light-emitting elements, and the emission of light from these plurality of light-emitting elements makes it possible to create the specific rainbow pattern. The second light-emitting unit is designed so that it is not detected as abnormal even when it is not electrically connected to the gaming machine. If the second light-emitting unit is electrically connected to the gaming machine during a specific period when the special symbol variation is not being performed and the first light-emitting unit is performing illumination in the specific rainbow pattern, then the second light-emitting unit electrically connected to the gaming machine can illuminate in the specific rainbow pattern in synchronization with the illumination of the first light-emitting unit during that specific period. The specified rainbow light emission control means causes the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit to emit light in the specified rainbow pattern during the specified period, and it is possible to cause the second light-emitting unit to emit light in the specified rainbow pattern regardless of whether the first light-emitting unit is in a state where it can emit light in the specified rainbow pattern or not. The aforementioned specific period does not begin simultaneously with the start of the period during which the special symbol variation is not performed, but may begin after a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the period during which the special symbol variation is not performed. Furthermore, the system further comprises a special light-emitting unit separate from the first and second light-emitting units, the special light-emitting unit capable of performing a special light emission, which is different from the light emission in the specific rainbow pattern, at least during the specific period. While the special light emission by the special light-emitting unit continues, the light emission in the specific rainbow pattern by the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit may end. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
