<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep the advance notice of the jackpot from spoiling the situations advantageous for players in a game machine having a special game function for a variable probability or the like and a jackpot advance notice function. <P>SOLUTION: When the value of a jackpot advance notice counter is not 0, the game machine judges whether the game is in the high-probability state or not (S781). When the game is in the normal state not in the high-probability state, a jackpot advance notice flag is set (S783). In addition, the value of the jackpot advance notice counter is put to -1 (S784). In the high-probability state, no jackpot advance notice flag is set. When an effective starter prize winning is earned, the value other than 0 is set on the jackpot advance notice counter to make the jackpot advance notice ready, but in this case, only when the game is in the normal state not in the high-probability state, the jackpot advance notice flag is set. In this manner, the jackpot advance notice is previously skipped during the high-probability period and this prevents the time required for the jackpot advance notice and the variation of special figures in total from being inevitably prolonged during the high-probability period. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
