A gaming machine that displays variable information and can be controlled to create a favorable state for the player, It is possible to perform a predetermined performance that suggests the system is controlled to the aforementioned advantageous state, The aforementioned predetermined effect is an effect in which a cracking precursor image is displayed, followed by the display of fragment images corresponding to the cracking precursor image. In the aforementioned predetermined performance, a predetermined background image can be displayed as the background image before the fragment image is displayed. In the predetermined performance, as the background image after the fragment image is displayed, any of a plurality of background images can be displayed, which is different from the predetermined background image and includes a first background image and a second background image that suggests a higher probability of being controlled to the advantageous state than the first background image. In the predetermined performance, before the fragment image is displayed and while the predetermined background image is displayed , it is possible to display the object image in any of the multiple forms of the object image. Depending on the form of the object image, it is possible to suggest which of the multiple background images will be displayed after the fragment image is displayed in the predetermined presentation. Game control means, Means of execution of the performance, Equipped with a retained memory means, The aforementioned reserved storage means is capable of storing information related to the variable display as reserved storage, up to a predetermined number, based on the occurrence of a starting prize. 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 first hold display and a second hold display that is different in form from the first hold display. It is possible to move the hold display corresponding to the already stored hold memory from its current position to the position corresponding to the next variable display over a specific period of time, starting from the hold shift start timing based on the timing when the next variable display begins. In a situation where fewer than the predetermined number of reserved memories are stored, If a starting prize is awarded at a first timing where the period until the next variable display starts is longer than a predetermined period, the first hold display can be displayed in the first starting mode, then changed to the first intermediate mode, and then changed to the first completed mode. If a starting win occurs at the first timing, the second hold display can be displayed in the second start mode, then changed to the second intermediate mode, and then changed to the second completion mode. If a start-up win occurs at a second timing that occurs after the first timing, and the period until the next variable display starts is shorter than the predetermined period, but not immediately before the next variable display starts, the first hold display can be displayed in the first start mode, changed to the first intermediate mode, and then changed to the first completed mode based on the start of the next variable display. If a starting win occurs at the second timing, the second hold display can be displayed in the second start mode, then changed to the second intermediate mode, and then changed to the second completed mode based on the start of the next variable display. If a start-up win occurs at a third timing that is after the second timing and immediately before the next variable display starts, the first hold display can be displayed in the first completion mode without being displayed in the first start mode and the first intermediate mode, and then moved to the hold display position corresponding to the next variable display over the specified period of time. If a starting win occurs at the third timing, the second hold display can be displayed in the second completion mode without being displayed in the second start mode or the second intermediate mode, and then moved to the hold display position corresponding to the next variable display over the specified period of time. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.

Description

This invention relates to a gaming machine that can be played. Some conventional gaming machines have a step-up effect in which the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device changes in stages. This effect involves treating the display screen of the liquid crystal display as glass, displaying cracks (a glass plate as a precursor image of cracking), and then displaying multiple fragment images as if the screen had actually broken (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, some machines are capable of variable display and can control the game state to a favorable jackpot state for the player. When a new starting win occurs, a hold memory containing information related to the variable display is generated, and an appearance animation is displayed that shows the hold display in stages based on this hold memory (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
