Claims (1)

A main control means that controls the progress of the game and, when the result of the prize draw is a predetermined result, activates multiple stop operation means in a predetermined operation method to achieve a predetermined prize, A sub-control means controls a performance means capable of executing a notification performance that notifies the prescribed operation method based on a command transmitted from the main control means. In a gaming machine equipped with the following features, The main control means is A first transmission means that transmits a first status command to the sub-control means when any of the plurality of stop operation means is operated for the first time, A second transmission means that transmits a second status command to the sub-control means when one of the plurality of stop operation means that has not yet been operated is operated next. Equipped with, The aforementioned sub-control means is In the situation where the aforementioned notification performance is being performed, if the second status command is received without receiving the first status command, even if the multiple stop operation means are operated in the prescribed operation method, the performance means will not perform the prescribed notification corresponding to the prescribed winning. A gaming machine comprising means for controlling the performance means to issue a mismatch notification if, while the notification performance is being executed, the first status command is received and the first status command indicates that the stop operation means has been operated in an operation method different from the prescribed operation method, and if the second status command is received without receiving the first status command while the notification performance is being executed, the performance means is not allowed to issue the mismatch notification even if the multiple stop operation means have been operated in an operation method different from the prescribed operation method .

Description

This invention relates to amusement machines such as slot machines. One example of a gaming machine that rotates and then stops multiple reels is a slot machine. In a slot machine, multiple symbols are attached to the outer circumference of each reel, and a portion of the symbols on each reel are visible through a display window. When a player inserts tokens, an active line is set. Then, when the player operates the start lever, the slot machine conducts a lottery for big bonuses (hereinafter referred to as "BB"), minor wins, and re-play opportunities, and each reel begins to rotate. After each reel has started rotating, the player operates a stop switch to stop each reel sequentially, ending one game. When all reels have stopped rotating, if a combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination stops on an active line, a win is achieved, and the player is granted benefits such as a payout of tokens or a change in game state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In recent years, in addition to the BB (Big Bonus) state, which is entered when a BB is achieved, some machines have an Assist Time (AT) state, which provides players with the sequence of operations for the stop switch necessary to achieve a specific payout when a specific combination is won.
