Equipped with means for executing performances that can carry out performances, The aforementioned performance execution means is capable of executing a special performance that is not executed when the special game state is activated in a game in which a predetermined number of game values are bet, or when the special game state is activated in a game in which a specific number of game values are bet .

Description

This invention relates to gaming machines such as pachislot machines and pachinko machines. In conventional gaming machines, for example, a bonus won in a game with three coins inserted (three-coin bet) can be activated even in a game with one coin inserted (one-coin bet). Furthermore, the number of symbol combinations corresponding to the bonus increases in one-coin bet games, thereby reducing the difficulty of the game (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, in such gaming machines, if a bonus won in a 3-coin bet game is activated in a 1-coin bet game, the number of coins required to activate the bonus can be reduced compared to activating it in a 3-coin bet game. Therefore, being able to activate the bonus using such a game procedure enhances the enjoyment of the game.
