Further, on the left side of the partition wall 34, a pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H extending downward to the left from the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the communication hole 38 are provided. A guide path 39 for guiding the game ball passing through the communication hole 38 to the lower left is formed between the pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H. The pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H may or may not be in contact with the partition wall 34. Further, when a pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H are in contact with the partition wall 34, a pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H may be provided as a part of the partition wall 34.

図７に示されるように、後側流路構成体３３は、第１大入賞口４１Ｋに入球した遊技球を受け入れる第１収容部屋４２と、第２大入賞口５１Ｋに入球した遊技球を受け入れる第２収容部屋５２と、を備えている。第１収容部屋４２に受け入れられた遊技球は、第１収容部屋４２の側壁４２Ｈに形成された第１排出口４３から図示しない第１排出路に排出される。第２収容部屋５２に受け入れられた遊技球は、第２収容部屋５２の底壁５２Ｂに形成された第２排出口５３から図示しない第２排出路に排出される。 As shown in FIG. 7, the rear flow path component 33 has a first accommodation room 42 that receives a game ball that has entered the first prize opening 41K, and a game ball that has entered the second prize opening 51K.

［遊技機１０の遊技性について］
図２を参照して、遊技機１０の遊技機１０の遊技性について説明する。遊技機１０には、遊技状態として、通常遊技状態と、特別図柄当否判定での当りを条件として大当り遊技終了後に突入する特別遊技状態と、が設けられている。特別遊技状態では、遊技球が始動ゲート１８を通過したときに行われる普通図柄当否判定で当りとなる確率が通常遊技状態よりも高くなっている。従って、遊技機１０では、通常遊技状態のときは、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球を入球させ、特別遊技状態のときは、第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂに遊技球を入球させる。第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに遊技球を入球させるためには、遊技領域Ｒ１のうち表示装飾枠２３の左側領域Ｒ２に遊技球を流下させる。他方、第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球を入球させるためには、遊技領域Ｒ１のうち表示装飾枠２３の右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させる。左側領域Ｒ２と右側領域Ｒ３への遊技球の打ち分けは、操作ハンドル２８の回動量を調整することで行われる。なお、以下では、左側領域Ｒ２に遊技球を流下させる打ち方を「左打ち」と、右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させる打ち方を「右打ち」と、適宜、呼ぶことにする。 [About the playability of the gaming machine 10]
With reference to FIG. 2, the playability of the gaming machine 10 of the gaming machine 10 will be described. The gaming machine 10 is provided with a normal gaming state and a special gaming state in which the gaming machine 10 enters after the big hit game is completed on condition that the hit is determined by the hit / fail determination of the special symbol. In the special game state, the probability of winning in the normal symbol winning / failing determination performed when the game ball passes through the start gate 18 is higher than in the normal game state. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, the gaming ball is inserted into the first starting winning opening 14A or the third starting winning opening 14C in the normal gaming state, and the second starting winning opening in the special gaming state. A game ball is inserted into 14B. In order to allow the game ball to enter the first starting winning opening 14A, the game ball is allowed to flow down into the left area R2 of the display decoration frame 23 in the game area R1. On the other hand, in order to allow the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 14B or the third starting winning opening 14C, the game ball is allowed to flow down into the right area R3 of the display decoration frame 23 in the game area R1. The game ball is hit into the left side region R2 and the right side region R3 by adjusting the amount of rotation of the operation handle 28. In the following, the method of causing the game ball to flow down to the left side region R2 will be referred to as “left-handed”, and the method of causing the game ball to flow down to the right side area R3 will be appropriately referred to as “right-handed”.

遊技機１０では、大当り遊技が実行されると、第１大入賞口４１Ｋ又は第２大入賞口５１Ｋが開放され、その開放された大入賞口に遊技球を入球させることで、遊技者に上記した特典とは異なる特典（具体的には、大当り遊技による出玉や大当り遊技終了後に突入する特別遊技状態）が付与される。第１大入賞口４１Ｋ及び第２大入賞口５１Ｋは遊技領域Ｒ１の右下部分に配置されていることから、これらの大入賞口４１Ｋ，５１Ｋに遊技球を入球させるためには、右打ちをして右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させる。ここで、遊技領域Ｒ１における表示装飾枠２３の下側領域Ｒ４のうちその左端から左右方向の中央部までの領域を下側左領域Ｒ４Ａと称し、下側領域Ｒ４の右側部分を下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂと称すると、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａは下側左領域Ｒ４Ａに属し、第１大入賞口４１Ｋ及び第２大入賞口５１Ｋは下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂに属する。従って、左打ち時には、遊技球は、主として、左側領域Ｒ２と下側左領域Ｒ４Ａとからなる第１領域ＲＦを流下することになり、右打ち時には、遊技球は、主として、右側領域Ｒ３と下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂとからなる第２領域ＲＳを流下することになる。 In the game machine 10, when the big hit game is executed, the first big winning opening 41K or the second big winning opening 51K is opened, and the game ball is inserted into the opened big winning opening, so that the player can enter the ball. Benefits different from the above-mentioned benefits (specifically, a special game state in which a ball is played by a big hit game or a special game state is entered after the big hit game is completed) are given. Since the 1st big winning opening 41K and the 2nd big winning opening 51K are arranged in the lower right part of the game area R1, in order to put the game ball into these big winning openings 41K, 51K, right-handed And let the game ball flow down to the right area R3. Here, of the lower region R4 of the display decoration frame 23 in the game region R1, the region from the left end to the central portion in the left-right direction is referred to as the lower left region R4A, and the right portion of the lower region R4 is the lower right region. Speaking as R4B, the first starting winning opening 14A belongs to the lower left region R4A, and the first major winning opening 41K and the second major winning opening 51K belong to the lower right region R4B. Therefore, when hitting left, the game ball mainly flows down the first region RF including the left side region R2 and the lower left region R4A, and when hitting right, the game ball mainly flows down with the right side region R3 and below. The second region RS including the side right region R4B will flow down.

上述したように、遊技機１０では、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球が入球すると、特別図柄当否判定が行われ、その結果が当りになると、大当り遊技が実行される。即ち、遊技機１０では、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａへの入球を条件にして遊技者に付与される特典（具体的には、特別図柄当否判定）と、第３の始動入賞口１４Ｂへの入球を条件にして遊技者に付与される特典（具体的には、特別図柄当否判定）とが同じになっている。従って、遊技機１０では、通常遊技状態のときに左打ちと右打ちの何れを選択しても特典を得ることが可能となり、通常遊技状態の遊技の多様化が図られている。 As described above, in the gaming machine 10, when a game ball enters the first starting winning opening 14A or the third starting winning opening 14C, a special symbol winning / failing determination is performed, and when the result is a hit, a big hit game is performed. Is executed. That is, in the gaming machine 10, the privilege (specifically, the special symbol winning / failing determination) given to the player on the condition that the ball enters the first starting winning opening 14A and the third starting winning opening 14B The benefits given to the player on the condition that the ball is entered (specifically, the judgment of whether or not the special symbol is correct) are the same. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, it is possible to obtain a privilege regardless of whether left-handed or right-handed is selected in the normal gaming state, and the gaming in the normal gaming state is diversified.

ところで、通常遊技状態で左打ちをしているときに第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球が入球したり、通常遊技状態で右打ちをしているときに第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに遊技球が入球したりすると、遊技球を打ち分けていることの意義が喪失する可能性がある。また、大当り遊技の実行中に第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに遊技球が入球すると、大当り遊技の終了後に右打ちで第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球を入球させる予定であった遊技者の楽しみを奪う可能性がある。そこで、遊技機１０では、仕切り壁３４によって、左打ち時に遊技球が流下する第１領域ＲＦと右打ち時に遊技球が流下する第２領域ＲＳとの間での遊技球の行き来を抑制するように構成されている。 By the way, when a game ball enters the second starting winning opening 14B or the third starting winning opening 14C while hitting left in the normal gaming state, or when hitting right in the normal gaming state. If a game ball enters the first starting winning opening 14A, the significance of hitting the game ball separately may be lost. Further, if a game ball enters the first start winning opening 14A during the execution of the big hit game, the game ball is moved to the second starting winning opening 14B or the third starting winning opening 14C by right-handing after the end of the big hit game. It may deprive the player who was supposed to enter the ball. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, the partition wall 34 suppresses the movement of the gaming ball between the first region RF in which the gaming ball flows down when hitting left and the second region RS in which the gaming ball flows down when hitting right. It is configured in.

図３に示されるように、遊技領域Ｒ１において、仕切り壁３４は、表示装飾枠２３とガイドレール１２との間に架け渡されるように配置される。表示装飾枠２３の下辺部の右側部分には、前側に迫り出したブロック部２３Ｂが備えられていて（図２参照）、仕切り壁３４の上端がブロック部２３Ｂに近接配置されている。これにより、仕切り壁３４の上を遊技球が飛び越えることが困難となっている。 As shown in FIG. 3, in the game area R1, the partition wall 34 is arranged so as to be bridged between the display decorative frame 23 and the guide rail 12. A block portion 23B protruding to the front side is provided on the right side portion of the lower side portion of the display decorative frame 23 (see FIG. 2), and the upper end of the partition wall 34 is arranged close to the block portion 23B. This makes it difficult for the game ball to jump over the partition wall 34.

仕切り壁３４の下端部は、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａ、第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃ、第１大入賞口４１Ｋ及び第２大入賞口５１Ｋの何れの入賞口よりも下側に配置されている。従って、仕切り壁３４とガイドレール１２との間の下端隙間３４Ｋを通過する遊技球が、何れかの入賞口１４Ａ，１４Ｃ，４１Ｋ，５１Ｋに入球することは困難となっている。 The lower end of the partition wall 34 is arranged below any of the first starting winning opening 14A, the third starting winning opening 14C, the first large winning opening 41K, and the second major winning opening 51K. There is. Therefore, it is difficult for the game ball passing through the lower end gap 34K between the partition wall 34 and the guide rail 12 to enter any of the winning openings 14A, 14C, 41K, 51K.

ここで、上述したように、仕切り壁３４には、遊技球が通過可能な大きさの連通孔３８が形成されているが、第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂ）から連通孔３８を通過する遊技球は、誘導路３９によって左下方へと誘導される。そして、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａは、誘導路３９の延長線上よりも上側に配置されているので、誘導路３９によって誘導された遊技球が第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに入球することが困難となっている。また、誘導路３９は、連通孔３８の縁部から左下方に延びる１対の傾斜壁３９Ｈ，３９Ｈによって構成されるので、第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、下側左領域Ｒ４Ａ）を流下する遊技球は、それら１対の傾斜壁３９Ｈ，３９Ｈによって連通孔３８への入球を規制される。さらに、本実施形態では、連通孔３８の大きさは、遊技球が１つずつ通過可能な大きさとなっているので、そもそも、遊技球が連通孔３８に入り難くなっている。 Here, as described above, the partition wall 34 is formed with a communication hole 38 having a size through which the game ball can pass, but communicates from the second region RS (specifically, the lower right region R4B). The game ball passing through the hole 38 is guided to the lower left by the guide path 39. Since the first start winning opening 14A is arranged above the extension line of the guide path 39, the game ball guided by the guide path 39 may enter the first start winning opening 14A. It has become difficult. Further, since the guide path 39 is composed of a pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H extending downward to the left from the edge of the communication hole 38, it flows down the first region RF (specifically, the lower left region R4A). The game ball is restricted from entering the communication hole 38 by the pair of inclined walls 39H and 39H. Further, in the present embodiment, the size of the communication holes 38 is such that the game balls can pass through one by one, so that it is difficult for the game balls to enter the communication holes 38 in the first place.

なお、誘導路３９の延長線上に、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａを一部に有する装飾部材１５の下端寄り部分が配置される。ここで、図５及び図６に示されるように、装飾部材１５は、その前面を構成する装飾プレート１５Ｐが右側壁１５Ｒに対して張り出した構造になっている。言い換えれば、装飾部材１５の右側壁１５Ｒは、装飾プレート１５Ｐの右側の端縁に対して、左側へ奥まって配置されている。これにより、誘導路３９の末端と装飾部材１５との間で遊技球が流下可能なスペースを大きくすることが可能となり、誘導路３９を通過してきた遊技球をスムーズに流下させることが可能となる。なお、仮に、装飾プレート１５Ｐの右側の端縁を装飾部材１５の右側壁１５Ｒに合わせると、装飾プレート１５Ｐの面積が小さくなってしまい、装飾プレート１５Ｐの装飾機能低下を招く可能性がある。また、本実施形態では、装飾プレート１５Ｐが左右対称に形成されているが、装飾プレート１５Ｐの右側の端縁を装飾部材１５の右側壁１５Ｒに合わせると、装飾プレート１５Ｐが左右非対称となり、装飾プレート１５Ｐの美観を損ねる可能性がある。 A portion near the lower end of the decorative member 15 having the first start winning opening 14A as a part is arranged on the extension line of the guide path 39. Here, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the decorative member 15 has a structure in which the decorative plate 15P constituting the front surface thereof projects with respect to the right side wall 15R. In other words, the right side wall 15R of the decorative member 15 is arranged recessed to the left side with respect to the right edge of the decorative plate 15P. As a result, it is possible to increase the space in which the game ball can flow down between the end of the guide path 39 and the decorative member 15, and it is possible to smoothly flow down the game ball that has passed through the guide path 39. .. If the right edge of the decorative plate 15P is aligned with the right wall 15R of the decorative member 15, the area of the decorative plate 15P may be reduced, which may lead to deterioration of the decorative function of the decorative plate 15P. Further, in the present embodiment, the decorative plate 15P is formed symmetrically, but when the right edge of the decorative plate 15P is aligned with the right side wall 15R of the decorative member 15, the decorative plate 15P becomes asymmetrical and the decorative plate 15P becomes asymmetrical. It may spoil the aesthetics of 15P.

図３及び図８に示されるように、第２大入賞口５１Ｋは、仕切り壁３４に隣接する。具体的には、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの上端寄り部分が連通孔３８の真横に配置される。ここで、仮に、図９に示されるように、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない構成になっていると、第２開閉扉５１が回動して第２大入賞口５１Ｋが開放されたときに、第２開閉扉５１に受け止められた遊技球が第２開閉扉５１の左側へ流下することが困難となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋへの入球が著しく容易になる。しかしながら、本実施形態では、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えることにより、第２開閉扉５１に受け止められた遊技球が第２開閉扉５１の左側へ流下可能となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋへの過度な入球が抑制される。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the second large winning opening 51K is adjacent to the partition wall 34. Specifically, the portion near the upper end of the second large winning opening 51K is arranged directly beside the communication hole 38. Here, if the partition wall 34 is not provided with the communication hole 38 as shown in FIG. 9, the second opening / closing door 51 rotates to open the second large winning opening 51K. Occasionally, it becomes difficult for the game ball received by the second opening / closing door 51 to flow down to the left side of the second opening / closing door 51, and it becomes extremely easy to enter the ball into the second large winning opening 51K. However, in the present embodiment, since the partition wall 34 is provided with the communication hole 38, the game ball received by the second opening / closing door 51 can flow down to the left side of the second opening / closing door 51, and goes to the second large winning opening 51K. Excessive ball entry is suppressed.

また、連通孔３８の有無は、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口の大きさを変化させる。ここで、入賞口の入口は、「入賞口又は当該入賞口に連なる遊技釘等（遊技部材）で構成される遊技球の流下経路のうち、入賞口から最も離れた位置にあるもの」で定義され、「入賞口に連なる遊技釘等」とは、遊技釘間を遊技球が通過できないように遊技釘等を連続配置したもののことをいう。また、入賞口の入口を定義する際には、「入賞口内に、当該入賞口に連なる遊技釘等（遊技部材）に連なっていない遊技釘があってはならない」という条件を満たす必要がある。本実施形態では、第２開閉扉５１及び仕切り壁３４が、「入賞口に連なる遊技釘等」に相当する。 Further, the presence or absence of the communication hole 38 changes the size of the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K. Here, the entrance of the winning opening is defined by "the flow path of the game ball composed of the winning opening or the game nails (game members) connected to the winning opening, which is located at the position farthest from the winning opening". The term "game nails, etc. connected to the winning opening" means that the game nails, etc. are continuously arranged so that the game balls cannot pass between the game nails. Further, when defining the entrance of the winning opening, it is necessary to satisfy the condition that "the winning opening must not have a game nail that is not connected to the game nail or the like (game member) connected to the winning opening". In the present embodiment, the second opening / closing door 51 and the partition wall 34 correspond to "a game nail or the like connected to the winning opening".

本実施形態のように、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備える場合、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入り口は以下のように定義される。即ち、図８に示されるように、前倒しにされた第２開閉扉５１の右端位置を右端位置Ｐ０とし、その右端位置Ｐ０から水平に延ばした線分Ｈ１（図８に示す二点鎖線）と仕切り壁３４との交点を交差点Ｐ１とする。そして、交差点Ｐ１が仕切り壁３４に沿って上側に移動するように、線分Ｈ１を第２開閉扉５１の右端位置Ｐ０を中心に時計方向に回動させると、線分Ｈ１が連通孔３８の下端縁と交わる。このときの線分Ｈ１が第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入賞境界線分Ｎ１となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの実質的な入口となる。 When the partition wall 34 includes the communication hole 38 as in the present embodiment, the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K is defined as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the right end position of the second opening / closing door 51 that has been moved forward is set as the right end position P0, and the line segment H1 (two-dot chain line shown in FIG. 8) extending horizontally from the right end position P0. The intersection with the partition wall 34 is defined as the intersection P1. Then, when the line segment H1 is rotated clockwise around the right end position P0 of the second opening / closing door 51 so that the intersection P1 moves upward along the partition wall 34, the line segment H1 becomes the communication hole 38. It intersects the lower edge. The line segment H1 at this time becomes the winning boundary line segment N1 of the second large winning opening 51K, and becomes a substantial entrance of the second large winning opening 51K.

他方、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない場合、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入り口は以下のように定義される。即ち、先の説明と同様にして、図９に示されるように、前倒しにされた第２開閉扉５１の右端位置を右端位置Ｐ０とし、その右端位置Ｐ０から水平に伸ばした線分Ｈ１（図９に示す二点鎖線）と仕切り壁３４との交点を交差点Ｐ１とする。そして、交差点Ｐ１が仕切り壁３４、表示装飾枠２３のブロック部２３Ｂ及びブロック部２３Ｂに連なる遊技釘７１群に沿って上側に移動するように、線分Ｈ１を第２開閉扉１の右端位置Ｐ０を中心にして時計方向に回動させると、線分Ｈ１が、遊技釘７１群との間に左側の球落下口２５Ａを形成する遊技釘７２Ａに接する。このとき、線分Ｈ１は、表示装飾枠２３のブロック部２３Ｂに連なる遊技釘７１群のうち遊技釘７１Ａと交わる。そして、このときの線分Ｈ１が第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入賞境界線分Ｎ２となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの実質的な入り口となる。 On the other hand, when the partition wall 34 does not have the communication hole 38, the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K is defined as follows. That is, in the same manner as in the above description, as shown in FIG. 9, the right end position of the second opening / closing door 51 that has been moved forward is set to the right end position P0, and the line segment H1 extending horizontally from the right end position P0 (FIG. The intersection of the two-dot chain line shown in 9) and the partition wall 34 is defined as the intersection P1. Then, the line segment H1 is moved upward along the game nail 71 group connected to the partition wall 34, the block portion 23B of the display decorative frame 23, and the block portion 23B, and the line segment H1 is moved to the right end position P0 of the second opening / closing door 1. When rotated clockwise around the above, the line segment H1 comes into contact with the game nail 72A forming the left ball drop opening 25A with the game nail 71 group. At this time, the line segment H1 intersects with the game nail 71A in the game nail 71 group connected to the block portion 23B of the display decorative frame 23. Then, the line segment H1 at this time becomes the winning boundary line segment N2 of the second large winning opening 51K, and becomes a substantial entrance of the second large winning opening 51K.

図８と図９の比較から明らかなように、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない場合の第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口（図９の入賞境界線分Ｎ２を参照）は、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備える場合の第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口（図８の入賞境界線分Ｎ１を参照）よりも小さくなる。ここで、大入賞口の入口の大きさは、５５ｍｍを越え１３５ｍｍ以下に規定されているため、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない場合には、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口が上記の範囲外となって、第２大入賞口５１Ｋが大入賞口に該当しなくなる可能性がある。本実施形態では、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えることで、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口の大きさが上記の範囲内となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋが大入賞口に該当するようになっている。 As is clear from the comparison between FIGS. 8 and 9, the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K (see the winning boundary line segment N2 in FIG. 9) when the partition wall 34 does not have the communication hole 38 is the partition wall 34. Is smaller than the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K (see the winning boundary line segment N1 in FIG. 8) when the communication hole 38 is provided. Here, since the size of the entrance of the large winning opening is defined to be more than 55 mm and 135 mm or less, if the partition wall 34 does not have the communication hole 38, the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K is described above. There is a possibility that the second big winning opening 51K will not correspond to the big winning opening because it is out of the range. In the present embodiment, since the partition wall 34 is provided with the communication hole 38, the size of the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K is within the above range, and the second large winning opening 51K corresponds to the large winning opening. It has become.

本実施形態の遊技機１０の構成では、第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、下側左領域Ｒ４Ａ）と第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂ）の間で遊技球の行き来が仕切り壁３４によって抑制されるので、第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、左側領域Ｒ２）に打ち込まれた遊技球が第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに入球したり、第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、右側領域Ｒ３）に打ち込まれた遊技球が第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに入球したりすることが抑制される。これにより、打ち分けによる遊技の趣向性の低減が抑制される。特に、遊技機１０では、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａと第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃは、常時開放した構造になっているので、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａと第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃの打ち分けが遊技者の趣向に依ることになり、その遊技者の趣向を損ねることが抑制される。 In the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game ball moves back and forth between the first region RF (specifically, the lower left region R4A) and the second region RS (specifically, the lower right region R4B). Since it is suppressed by the partition wall 34, the gaming ball driven into the first region RF (specifically, the left region R2) may enter the second starting winning opening 14B or the third starting winning opening 14C. It is suppressed that the game ball driven into the second region RS (specifically, the right region R3) enters the first starting winning opening 14A. As a result, the reduction of the taste of the game due to the striking is suppressed. In particular, in the gaming machine 10, since the first starting winning opening 14A and the third starting winning opening 14C have a structure that is always open, the first starting winning opening 14A and the third starting winning opening 14C have a structure that is always open. The distinction depends on the player's taste, and it is suppressed that the player's taste is impaired.

また、本実施形態では、仕切り壁３４に連通孔３８を備えることによって、第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂ）から第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、下側左領域Ｒ４Ａ）へ遊技球が流下することを許容しつつ、連通孔３８を通過する遊技球を誘導路３９によって第１の始動入賞口１４Ａより下側へ誘導することで、その遊技球の第１の始動入賞口１４Ａへの入球を防止可能となっている。しかも、本実施形態では、連通孔３８と同じ高さ位置に配置される第２大入賞口５１Ｋが仕切り壁３４に隣接するので、第２大入賞口５１Ｋを幅広に形成しつつ、第２大入賞口５１Ｋへの過度な入球が抑制されている。なお、連通孔３８を通過する遊技球が第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに入賞可能な構成であってもよく、例えば、誘導路３９の延長線上又は誘導路３９の延長線上よりも下側に第１の始動入賞口１４Ａが設けられていてもよい。この場合であっても、第２領域ＲＳを流下してきた遊技球は仕切り壁３４に設けられた連通孔３８を通過しなければ第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに入賞困難となるので、仕切り壁３４によって第１の始動入賞口１４Ａへの入賞が抑制されることとなる。 Further, in the present embodiment, by providing the partition wall 34 with the communication hole 38, the second region RS (specifically, the lower right region R4B) to the first region RF (specifically, the lower left region R4A). By guiding the game ball passing through the communication hole 38 below the first start winning opening 14A by the guide path 39 while allowing the game ball to flow down to, the first start winning of the game ball It is possible to prevent the ball from entering the mouth 14A. Moreover, in the present embodiment, since the second large winning opening 51K arranged at the same height as the communication hole 38 is adjacent to the partition wall 34, the second large winning opening 51K is formed wide while forming the second large winning opening 51K. Excessive entry into the winning opening 51K is suppressed. The game ball passing through the communication hole 38 may be configured to be able to win a prize in the first starting winning opening 14A, for example, on the extension line of the guide path 39 or below the extension line of the guide path 39. The start winning opening 14A of 1 may be provided. Even in this case, it is difficult for the game ball flowing down the second region RS to win the first starting winning opening 14A unless it passes through the communication hole 38 provided in the partition wall 34. Therefore, the partition wall 34 As a result, the winning of the first starting winning opening 14A is suppressed.

また、仕切り壁３４は、遊技領域Ｒ１を囲むガイドレール１２との間に下端隙間３４Ｋを有するので、第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂ）を流下してきた遊技球を、第１領域ＲＦ（下側左領域Ｒ４Ａ）に備えたアウト口１６から排出することが可能となる。即ち、第１領域ＲＦを流下してきた遊技球を排出するための排出口と第２領域ＲＳを流下してきた遊技球の排出口の共通化が図られている。 Further, since the partition wall 34 has a lower end gap 34K between the partition wall 34 and the guide rail 12 surrounding the game area R1, the game ball that has flowed down the second area RS (specifically, the lower right area R4B) can be moved. It is possible to discharge from the out port 16 provided in one region RF (lower left region R4A). That is, the discharge port for discharging the game ball flowing down the first region RF and the discharge port of the game ball flowing down the second region RS are standardized.
