Gaming machine

Abstract

To make control of a game machine more favorable.SOLUTION: A game machine has: discharge means which can discharge a game ball in a predetermined direction; a specific route which can guide the game ball discharged in the predetermined direction to a specific position; and shooting means which can shoot, in response to an operation of first operation means, the game ball disposed in the specific position on the basis of a satisfaction of a shooting condition, and includes: display means which can display a count value corresponding to the number of game balls allowed to be shot; first subtraction means which carries out a subtraction from the count value on the basis of a discharge of the game ball in the predetermined direction; second subtraction means which carries out a subtraction from the count value on the basis of a specific operation of a second operation means; and addition means which carries out an addition to the count value on the basis of a detection of an entry of a game ball into ball entry means. Specific control which avoids the subtraction from the count value by the second subtraction means from a satisfaction of a discharge condition to the subtraction from the count value by the first subtraction means. This can make control of a game machine more favorable.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

[Claim 1] A launching mechanism capable of launching game balls, First control means and In a gaming machine having a first control means and a second control means capable of communicating with it, The system is configured such that when a predetermined condition is met, the first control means generates predetermined control data, and the generated predetermined control data can be output to the second control means at a specific interval. The system is configured such that when a predetermined event related to an anomaly occurs, predetermined information corresponding to the said predetermined event can be stored in a predetermined storage area. When a game ball launched by the launching means enters a predetermined ball entry means, specific information stored in a specific memory area different from the predetermined memory area can be updated in a predetermined update manner. The system is configured such that, at least in a predetermined game state and when the predetermined information is stored in the predetermined storage area, a first control data which includes at least data corresponding to the predetermined information and data corresponding to the specific information can be generated as the predetermined control data. The system is configured such that, at least in the predetermined game state, when the predetermined information is not stored in the predetermined storage area, a second control data which does not contain data corresponding to the predetermined information but contains at least data corresponding to the specific information can be generated as the predetermined control data. When the first control data generated as predetermined control data is output to the second control means, the system is configured such that a first display mode relating to the notification of the abnormality, a second display mode corresponding to the specific information, and a third display mode different from both the first and second display modes can be displayed on a predetermined display screen. When the second control data generated as the predetermined control data is output to the second control means, the first display mode is not displayed on the predetermined display screen, and the second display mode and the third display mode can be displayed on the predetermined display screen. When a predetermined determination is made, the system is configured such that, after a predetermined dynamic display is performed, identification information for indicating the determination result of the predetermined determination can be displayed in a specific display means that is at least different from the predetermined display screen. The third display mode is a display mode that corresponds to a display mode displayed on the specific display means, The gaming machine is configured such that the same amount of predetermined control data can be output to the second control means when the first control data is generated as predetermined control data and when the second control data is generated as predetermined control data. The gaming machine is characterized in that it is configured such that the predetermined control data can be output to the second control means at a specific interval even when no game is being played on the gaming machine and the predetermined information is not stored in the predetermined memory area.
