Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suppressing deterioration in game amusement.SOLUTION: A game machine includes: a board-exclusive performance unit composed of a component separate from a game board, and having a decoration associated with the game board; and performance control means for controlling a specific performance using the board-exclusive performance unit when the correspondence between the game board mounted on the game machine and the board-exclusive performance unit is normal. The board-exclusive performance unit includes a plurality of performance boards. Under a situation in which the correspondence between the game board and the board-exclusive performance unit is normal, the specific performance is produced by using other performance boards even when a predetermined failure occurs in any of the performance boards.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 283

Claims

[Claim 1] A gaming machine that enables the execution of predetermined symbol changes based on the fulfillment of predetermined conditions for starting a lottery, A first light-emitting part is provided at a predetermined position, A specific rainbow emission control means for causing the first light-emitting unit to emit light in a specific rainbow pattern, The device comprises a second light-emitting section, which is a separate component from the first light-emitting section and is capable of emitting light in the specific rainbow pattern described above, 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. 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 a specific period when the predetermined pattern variation is not being performed. However, even if a malfunction occurs in the first light-emitting unit and it is unable to emit light in the specified rainbow pattern, the second light-emitting unit can still emit light in the specified rainbow pattern. The specified rainbow light emission control means is capable of causing the first light emission unit to emit light in the specified rainbow pattern during the specified period when the second light emission unit is not electrically connected to the gaming machine. The aforementioned specific period does not begin simultaneously with the start of the period during which the predetermined symbol variation is not performed, but may begin after a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the period during which the predetermined symbol variation is not performed. Furthermore, the device further comprises a special light-emitting unit separate from the first and second light-emitting units, the special light-emitting unit being capable of emitting light in a special rainbow pattern separate from the specified rainbow pattern, The special light-emitting unit is capable of emitting light in the special rainbow pattern, but is not capable of emitting light in the specific rainbow pattern during the specific period. Furthermore, at least one light intensity adjustment operation is possible that allows for adjustment of the light intensity of the first light-emitting unit. 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. Even if the aforementioned light intensity adjustment operation is performed, the light emission of the special light-emitting unit will not cease as a result of the light intensity adjustment operation, and the light emission of the special light-emitting unit may continue at the same light intensity as before the light intensity adjustment operation was performed. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
