To execute a time-shortening game with a stable variation frequency.SOLUTION: A game machine includes: shooting means of game balls; opening / closing operation means having opening / closing means and a predetermined start pocket; execution means for executing a predetermined variation display for a predetermined period; control means for executing a predetermined control process including a right reservation process and a reservation correspondence process; means for stopping a predetermined variation display with a predetermined display result; and means for generating a special game state after stopping with a predetermined display result. Further, the game machine includes: means for executing a specific game state of the opening / closing operation means during a specific period on the basis of satisfaction of a specific condition; and specific game completion means for completing a specific game state. The specific game completion means at least completes a specific game state when a predetermined variation display is performed for a specific number of times, namely N times, and predetermined control processing is not performed, when a predetermined variation display is executed for N-1 times and predetermined control processing is executed once, or when a predetermined variation display is executed for N-2 times and predetermined control processing is executed twice.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 463

Claims

[Claim 1] A launching mechanism for launching game balls, A ball entry area into which a game ball can be entered, and a predetermined special symbol entry area in which a predetermined special symbol and a specific special symbol different from the predetermined special symbol can be changed based on the entry of a game ball, A ball entry area into which a game ball can be entered, and a normal symbol entry area into which the normal symbols can be changed based on the entry of a game ball, A ball entry area in which the predetermined special symbols, the specific special symbols, and the ordinary symbols do not change even when a game ball enters, and in a specific ball entry area in which a game ball can enter when the firing mode by the firing means is the first firing mode, and in which a game ball cannot enter when the firing mode by the firing means is the second firing mode, A special ball entry means into which a game ball can be entered when the firing mode by the aforementioned firing means is the second firing mode, A notification means that can be a specific notification mode for notifying that the recommended launch mode is the second launch mode, A gaming machine equipped with, This gaming machine is During a predetermined waiting period in which the execution of a predetermined special game state that causes the aforementioned bonus ball entry means to perform a predetermined opening is confirmed, the notification means does not execute the specified notification mode. During the execution of the predetermined special game state, the notification means is configured to execute the specific notification mode. This gaming machine is During the predetermined waiting period when the notification means is not performing the specific notification mode, if a predetermined condition for opening the special ball entry means based on a game ball entering the specific ball entry area is met, the system is configured to generate the predetermined special game state after the execution of the predetermined control. When the firing mode by the firing means is the first firing mode, the system is configured such that some game balls may enter the specific ball entry area and some game balls may not enter the specific ball entry area. This gaming machine is The system includes predetermined information storage means capable of storing predetermined information when a game ball enters the specified ball entry area. The predetermined information storage means is configured such that, after a specific type of predetermined information is stored, the start timing of the predetermined special game state, which is executed after the completion of the predetermined control, can be set. This gaming machine is Equipped with performance control means capable of executing various effects, The aforementioned performance control means is Even in a game situation where a predetermined special game state can occur based on the game ball being launched in the first launch mode and entering the specific ball entry area, the system is configured to control the execution of a specific performance that notifies that the recommended launch mode is the first launch mode. This gaming machine is There are cases in which, when a game ball enters the specified ball entry area during the predetermined waiting period, the predetermined conditions are met and the predetermined special game state based on the ball entry is generated, and cases in which, even if a game ball enters the specified ball entry area during the predetermined waiting period, the predetermined conditions are not met and the predetermined special game state based on the ball entry is not generated. When causing the aforementioned to occur, In the first case, the predetermined special game state is generated after a first period has elapsed since the game ball entered the specified ball entry area, In a second case, the predetermined special game state is generated after a second period, which is longer than the first period, has elapsed since the game ball entered the specified ball entry area. It includes, Based on the result of a predetermined lottery based on the entry of a game ball into the specified ball entry area, the system is configured such that the first case, the second case, and the case in which the event does not occur can occur. This gaming machine is After a game ball enters the specified ball entry area, the system is configured to execute different effects depending on whether it is the first case, the second case, or the case where the effect does not occur. This gaming machine is In the first case, during the first period, the system is configured to perform a predetermined effect, In the second case, during the second period, the system is configured to execute the same performance as the predetermined performance, and to execute a performance different from the predetermined performance immediately following that performance. If a game ball enters the specified ball entry area but does not generate the predetermined special game state, the system is configured to execute the same predetermined performance after the game ball enters the specified ball entry area. The aforementioned specific ball entry area is configured to be provided in only one position where a game ball can enter when the launching mode by the launching means is the first launching mode. The game situations that this gaming machine can perform include at least a first game situation in which a predetermined special game state can occur based on the launch of a game ball in the first launching mode and the game ball entering the specific ball entry area, and a second game situation that is more advantageous to the player than the first game situation. The aforementioned predetermined special game state is configured to be executed based on the entry of a game ball into the specified ball entry area, whether it is the first game state or the second game state. The aforementioned performance control means is The system is configured to perform control to execute a specific performance that notifies that the recommended firing mode is the first firing mode during the predetermined waiting period, which is performed in a normal game state where the recommended firing mode is the first firing mode, and during the predetermined waiting period relating to the first special symbol as the predetermined special symbol. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
