Abstract

A gaming machine is configured to shift from a normal game mode to a special game mode based on the result of determination on establishment/non-establishment of a shift condition. After shifting to the special game mode, the gaming machine extracts a predetermined number of card data to be used in the special game mode, and selects card data to be assigned to a first group and card data to be assigned to second groups from among the extracted card data. Then, the gaming machine compares a winning combination based on the card data of the first group to winning combinations based on the card data of at least two the second groups, and pays the payout amount to the player in accordance with the comparison result.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A gaming machine comprising determining means determining establishment/non-establishment of a shift condition for shifting a game mode from a normal game mode to a special game mode and shifting means shifting the game mode from the normal game mode to the special game mode based on the determination result of said determining means, said gaming machine comprising:
