If a power outage occurs immediately before the end of a variable display, before a variable display based on a specific variable display pattern is started, and then the power is turned on, the confirmation operation control can be performed using the second operation control pattern. The reserved storage means is capable of storing information related to variable displays as reserved storage, up to a predetermined number. The game control means can execute the next variable display when a variable display has finished, provided that there is a reserved memory corresponding to the next variable display. The aforementioned performance execution means is When a hold memory is stored, it is possible to display one of several types of hold displays, including a normal hold display and a special hold display that has a higher probability of being controlled to the advantageous state than the normal hold display. When a pending memory is stored, the normal pending display can be displayed by gradually changing through a plurality of normal intermediate modes, including a normal start mode, a normal completion mode, and a normal pre-completion mode which is the mode immediately preceding the normal completion mode. When a hold memory is stored, the special hold display can be displayed by gradually changing through a number of special intermediate modes, including a special start mode, a special completion mode, and a special pre-completion mode which is the mode immediately preceding the special completion mode. During variable display, it is possible to move the reserved display corresponding to the reserved memory already stored in memory from the position where it was displayed to the position corresponding to the next variable display over a specific period of time, starting from the reserved shift start timing based on the timing when the next variable display starts. During the execution of the variable display of the number of reserved memories N times, which is a variable display when a number of reserved memories less than the predetermined number N is stored, When the period until the next variable display is started is longer than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the normal hold display is to be displayed, the normal hold display is to be started in the normal start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and then changed stepwise from the normal start mode to one of the multiple normal intermediate modes, and then changed to the normal completion mode, and this change is performed over the predetermined period, and the normal hold display is to be displayed. When the period until the next variable display is started is longer than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the special hold display is to be displayed, the special hold display is to be started in the special start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and then changed stepwise from the special start mode to the plurality of special intermediate modes, and then changed to the special completion mode, and this change is performed over the predetermined period to display the special hold display. When the period until the next variable display is started is shorter than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the normal hold display is to be displayed, the normal hold display is started in the normal start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and is changed from the normal start mode to a normal intermediate mode that is different from the normal pre-completion mode, and when the timing for the next variable display to be started arrives while the display is in the normal intermediate mode that is different from the pre-completion mode, the normal hold display is changed to the normal completion mode based on that timing and displayed. When the period until the next variable display is started is shorter than a predetermined period, and a new hold memory is stored and the special hold display is to be displayed, the special hold display is started in the special start mode at the hold display position corresponding to the N+1 number, and is changed from the special start mode to a special intermediate mode different from the special pre-completion mode, and when the timing for the next variable display to be started arrives while the display is in a special intermediate mode different from the special pre-completion mode, the display is changed to the special completion mode based on that timing and the special hold display is displayed.

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, some conventional gaming machines can perform variable displays and control the game to a jackpot state (advantageous state) that is advantageous to the player. When a new starting win occurs, a hold memory containing information about the variable display is generated, and an appearance animation is displayed that sequentially based on the hold memory (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
