GAME MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further enhance the amusement of a game when a player plays the game.SOLUTION: When the prior determination of a preservation ball 10E shows a jackpot (refer to (a-1)), a lighting number increase performance is started by a succeeding variation. That is, a drum lamp 11 is lit at a symbol variation of a preservation ball 10B (refer to (b2)), and a drum lamp 12 is further lit at a symbol variation of a preservation ball 10C (refer to (c-2)). When second start port winning occurs before the finish of the symbol variation of the preservation ball 10C, a jackpot lottery of the preservation ball 10C is not performed, the second start port winning is preferentially consumed (refer to (d-1)), and the lighting number increase performance is interrupted with the symbol variation based on the second port winning as a trigger (refer to (d-2) and (e-2)). Then, at the variation of the preservation ball 10E (refer to (f-1)), the lighting number increase performance is resumed, and a performance form of a final stage is executed (refer to (f-2)). This performance is executed even if the prior determination does not show the jackpot.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 37 【課題】遊技者が遊技する際に遊技の興趣性を更に高めることを可能にする。【解決手段】保留球１０Ｅの事前判定が大当たりの場合（（ａ−１）参照）、次変動で点灯数増加演出が開始される。すなわち、保留球１０Ｂの図柄変動時に太鼓ランプ部１１が点灯し（（ｂ−２）参照）、保留球１０Ｃの図柄変動時に太鼓ランプ部１２がさらに点灯する（（ｃ−２）参照）。保留球１０Ｃの図柄変動終了前に、第２始動口入賞が発生すると、保留球１０Ｃの大当たり抽選が行われず、第２始動口入賞が優先消化され（（ｄ−１）参照）、第２始動口入賞に基づく図柄変動を契機として点灯数増加演出が中断される（（ｄ−２）および（ｅ−２）参照）。そして、保留球１０Ｅの当該変動時に（（ｆ−１）参照）、点灯数増加演出が再開され、終局の演出態様を実行する（（ｆ−２）参照）。かかる演出は、事前判定が大当たりでない場合も行われる。【選択図】図３７
