In a gaming machine in which the player can select one of several performance setting patterns and have it reflected in the performance, A setting means that can set a specific performance setting pattern from among the multiple performance setting patterns in response to a selection operation by the player, A determination means for determining that a predetermined situation has occurred in the gaming machine, Equipped with, The specific performance based on the aforementioned specific performance setting pattern becomes available when predetermined conditions are met after the setting means sets the specific performance setting pattern in a game standby state where the game is not in progress. If, in the game standby state, it is determined that a predetermined situation has occurred during the period from when the specific performance setting pattern is set by the setting means until the predetermined condition is met, then control is performed in a suppression mode in which the execution mode of the specific performance based on the specific performance setting pattern is suppressed from the time it is determined that the predetermined situation has occurred until the predetermined termination condition is met. Even after the predetermined conditions are met while the control in the aforementioned suppression mode is being performed, the control in the aforementioned suppression mode may continue. While control in the aforementioned suppression mode continues, a special display related to the suppression mode and a setting display related to the fact that the specific performance setting pattern is set can be executed in parallel. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.

Description

This invention relates to gaming machines such as pachinko machines (commonly referred to as "pachinko machines") and slot machines (commonly referred to as "pachislo machines"). Conventional gaming machines are known to implement custom gameplay that allows players to modify specific aspects of the game's presentation and have them reflected in the game's effects (for example, Patent Document 1).
