A gaming machine comprising a game control means that can perform variable display of specific identification information , control to a favorable state , determine a variable display pattern including a specific variable display pattern, and transmit start information corresponding to a variable display pattern including a specific variable display pattern , Movable body and, A performance control means including a receiving means capable of receiving the aforementioned start information , Display means and Multiple light-emitting means, Movable body control means, There is a normal state and a special state that is more advantageous than the normal state. A predetermined display area can be used to display a predetermined indication related to the advantageous state. A special display area can display a special display whose form can change during the special state. The predetermined display relating to the advantageous state in the predetermined display area is such that the mode does not change during the special state. When power is turned on, the movable body control means performs a confirmation operation control to operate the movable body by performing an operation to confirm that the movable body is functioning normally. The aforementioned confirmation operation control is, This is a control that operates the movable body so that it is superimposed on the special display area. This is a control method that operates the movable body so that it is superimposed on the predetermined display area. This control mechanism operates the movable body such that the time the movable body is superimposed on the special display area is shorter than the time the movable body is superimposed on the predetermined display area. The display means is capable of performing a demonstration display in two cases: a first case in which an initialization process is performed when the power is turned on, and a second case in which an initialization process is not performed when the power is turned on. The game control means further includes a game control means capable of performing special identification information emission control, which is the control of a special light-emitting means among the plurality of light-emitting means that show the result of variable display of special identification information when the power is turned on, The aforementioned movable body control means is In either the first or second case, it is possible to control the movable body such that the confirmation operation control is completed before the demonstration display is started. It is possible to start the confirmation operation control after the special identification information emission control has started. During variable display, it is possible to perform a movable body effect using the movable body, and to display an effect corresponding to the movable body effect. If the variable display that executes the movable body effect is started while the confirmation operation control is being performed, the confirmation operation control is continued, and during the confirmation operation control, the movable body does not move based on the movable body effect, and the effect display is displayed. The aforementioned performance control means is capable of performing action-promoting effects that encourage the player to take action during the variable display based on the specific variable display pattern. The aforementioned specific variable display pattern is The first part is until the aforementioned action acceleration effect is executed, A second part is performed after the first part, and the results of the action acceleration performance are reported, It consists of, The aforementioned movable body control means is The confirmation operation control can be performed using a first operation control pattern that operates the movable body for a first period of time, and a second operation control pattern that operates the movable body for a second period shorter than the first period. A first movable body control pattern performs the confirmation operation control using the first operation control pattern when a power outage occurs immediately before the end of a predetermined variable display and the remaining time until the predetermined variable display ends is shorter than the length of the second period, and thereafter the power is turned on and the receiving means does not receive start information corresponding to the specific variable display pattern, A second movable body control pattern is provided, which controls the movable body in the variable display based on the specific variable display pattern, performing the confirmation operation control in the second operation control pattern so that the confirmation operation control is completed before the period corresponding to the second part, immediately before the end of a predetermined variable display and the remaining time until the predetermined variable display ends is shorter than the length of the second period, and thereafter the power is turned on and the receiving means receives start information corresponding to the specific variable display pattern, and the confirmation operation control is completed before the period corresponding to the second part. It is possible to perform the verification operation control using multiple types of patterns, including A gaming machine characterized by the following features.

Description

This invention relates to a gaming machine capable of providing games. Some gaming machines, such as pachinko machines and slot machines, are equipped with movable parts that can perform movable part effects, where these parts move when the symbols are being displayed in a variable manner. In this type of gaming machine, some machines can perform initial operations (long initial operation) where the movable parts operate in the same manner as the performance operation when the power is turned on or when power is restored after a power outage, or initial operations (short initial operation) where the movable parts operate with some parts of the performance operation omitted (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, gaming machines have been proposed that perform variable display prediction effects that have a high probability of resulting in a "jackpot." For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine in which three key variable display prediction effects (a super-hot call-out prediction, a group prediction, and a fruit-patterned eye-catching prediction) that have a high probability of resulting in a "jackpot" are performed when a reach state is established (during a reach performance) (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
