When the special figure determination is made, the three special symbols are vertically scroll-displayed (variable display), and after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, for example, left, right, and middle are stopped and displayed. Then, the result of the special figure determination is displayed according to the combination of the stopped special symbols.

表示画面３０Ｇに特図判定の結果が大当りであることが表示されると、遊技状態が大当り遊技状態になって、大当り遊技が実行され、第１大入賞口１５ＡＫに遊技球が入球可能となる。第１大入賞口１５ＡＫ又は第２大入賞口１５ＢＫに遊技球が入球すると、所定数の遊技球が賞球として上皿２６（図１参照）に払い出される。 When the display screen 30G displays that the result of the special figure determination is a big win, the game state changes to a big win game state, the big win game is executed, and the game ball can enter the first big winning hole 15AK. Become. When a game ball enters the first big prize hole 15AK or the second big prize hole 15BK, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls to the upper tray 26 (see FIG. 1).

詳細には、大当り遊技が実行されると、第１大入賞扉１５ＡＴが所定期間に亘って前側に倒されて第１大入賞口１５ＡＫが開放される。ここで、第１大入賞口１５ＡＫが開放されてから閉じられるまでの動作を「ラウンド」と称すると、１回の大当り遊技は、所定回数のラウンドが実行されるまで継続する。１回のラウンドは、第１大入賞口１５ＡＫの開放時間が所定時間（例えば、２９秒）に達したこと、又は、第１大入賞口１５ＡＫに遊技球が所定個数（例えば、１０個）入賞したこと、の何れかが先に成立したときに終了する。第１大入賞口１５ＡＫの内部には、入賞センサ（図示せず）が設けられており、入賞球数をカウントする。 Specifically, when the big winning game is executed, the first big winning door 15AT is pushed forward over a predetermined period to open the first big winning opening 15AK. Here, if the operation from opening to closing of the first big winning opening 15AK is called a "round", one big winning game continues until a predetermined number of rounds are executed. In one round, the opening time of the first big prize hole 15AK reaches a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds), or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the first big prize hole 15AK It ends when one of the above is established first. A winning sensor (not shown) is provided inside the first big winning hole 15AK to count the number of winning balls.

また、表示画面３０Ｇに特図判定の結果が小当りであることが表示されると、遊技状態が小当り遊技状態になって、小当り遊技が実行される。小当り遊技では、第２大入賞口１５ＢＫに遊技球が入球可能となる。第２大入賞口１５ＢＫの開放時間は、大当り遊技における第１大入賞口１５ＡＫの開放時間よりも短くなっていて、１回の小当り遊技での出玉は、１回の大当り遊技での出玉よりも少なくなっている。 Further, when it is displayed on the display screen 30G that the result of the special figure determination is a small hit, the game state becomes a small hit game state, and a small hit game is executed. In the small winning game, the game ball can enter the second big winning hole 15BK. The opening time of the second big winning hole 15BK is shorter than the opening time of the first big winning hole 15AK in the big win game, and the number of balls released in one small win game is equal to the number of balls released in one big win game. less than a ball.

ここで、特別図柄の変動中、小当り遊技中又は大当り遊技中に第１始動入賞口１４ＡＫ又は第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫに遊技球が入球した場合、その入球に起因した特図判定に関する情報（具体的には、特図判定の結果表示とそれに伴う図柄変動）は、予め設定された保留上限数まで保留される。そして、実行中の図柄変動、小当り遊技又は大当り遊技が終了すると、保留が１つ消化されて、保留されていた図柄変動と結果表示が行われる。ここで、第１特図判定に関する情報の保留と第２特図判定に関する情報の保留を、第１特図保留と第２特図保留と称して適宜区別することにすると、保留上限数は、第１特図保留と第２特図保留のそれぞれについて設定されていて、例えば、第１特図保留と第２特図保留とがそれぞれ４つずつ発生可能になっている。第１特図保留と第２特図保留の数は、例えば、保留表示部３０Ｈ（図３参照）に表示されることで遊技者に認識可能となっている。 Here, when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 14AK or the second starting winning opening 14BK during the fluctuation of the special symbol, during the small winning game or the big winning game, it is related to the special figure determination caused by the entering ball. Information (specifically, the result display of the special figure determination and the pattern variation accompanying it) is reserved up to the preset number of reserved upper limits. Then, when the pattern variation, the small winning game or the big winning game being executed is completed, one reservation is digested, and the retained pattern variation and result display are performed. Here, if the holding of information related to the first special figure determination and the holding of information related to the second special figure determination are appropriately distinguished by referring to them as the first special figure reservation and the second special figure reservation, the upper limit number of reservations is It is set for each of the first special figure reservation and the second special figure reservation, and for example, four each of the first special figure reservation and the second special figure reservation can occur. The number of the first special figure reservation and the number of the second special figure reservation can be recognized by the player by being displayed on the reservation display section 30H (see FIG. 3), for example.

図４には、遊技機１０における遊技の流れが示されている。遊技機１０では、大当り遊技状態及び小当り遊技状態以外の遊技状態として、通常遊技状態と特別遊技状態との２種類の遊技状態が存在する。また、通常遊技状態か特別遊技状態かという遊技状態の区別の仕方とは別に、時短遊技状態か非時短遊技状態かという区別の仕方があり、通常遊技状態は常に非時短遊技状態になっていて、特別遊技状態は、時短遊技状態である第１特別遊技状態と、非時短遊技状態である第２特別遊技状態と、を有している。なお、遊技状態の制御は、主制御回路５０によって行われる。 FIG. 4 shows a game flow in the gaming machine 10. As shown in FIG. In the gaming machine 10, there are two types of game states, a normal game state and a special game state, as game states other than the big win game state and the small win game state. In addition, apart from the way of distinguishing between the normal game state and the special game state, there is a way of distinguishing between the time-saving game state and the non-time-saving game state, and the normal game state is always a non-time-saving game state. , The special game state has a first special game state that is a time-saving game state and a second special game state that is a non-time-saving game state. The game state is controlled by the main control circuit 50. FIG.

時短遊技状態では、非時短遊技状態よりも第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫに遊技球を入球させ易くなる。詳細には、第２可動部材１４ＢＴを突出位置に配置する契機となる普図判定の当りには、ショート普図当りとロング普図当りの２種類が設けられている。ロング普図当りとなったときに第２可動部材１４ＢＴが突出位置に配置される時間は、ショート普図当りとなったときに第２可動部材１４ＢＴが突出位置に配置される時間よりも長く、例えば、それぞれ、０．１秒、３秒に設定されている。なお、遊技機１０では、ショート普図当りの場合には、第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫに実質的に遊技球を入球させることが不可能であり、ロング普図当りの場合にしか、第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫに遊技球を入球させることができないようになっている。 In the time-saving game state, it becomes easier to enter the game ball into the second start winning opening 14BK than in the non-time-saving game state. In detail, two types of hits of short normal pattern hit and long normal pattern hit are provided for the normal pattern determination which triggers placement of the second movable member 14BT at the projecting position. The time during which the second movable member 14BT is arranged at the projecting position when a long normal hit is made is longer than the time during which the second movable member 14BT is arranged at the projecting position when a short normal hit is achieved, For example, they are set to 0.1 seconds and 3 seconds, respectively. In addition, in the gaming machine 10, it is virtually impossible to enter the game ball into the second start winning hole 14BK in the case of a short normal game, and only in the case of a long normal game, the second game ball can be entered. A game ball cannot be entered into the start winning opening 14BK.

非時短遊技状態と時短遊技状態の間では、普図判定の当選確率は、例えば、非時短遊技状態では１／１０、時短遊技状態では、１０／１０となっていて、かつ、非時短遊技状態の普図当りはすべてショート普図当りであるのに対し、時短遊技状態の普図当りはすべてロング普図当りとなっている。また、普図判定の変動時間は、非時短遊技状態よりも時短遊技状態で短く、例えば、それぞれ、６０秒、０．１秒に設定されている。その結果、遊技領域Ｒ１の右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させたとき（以降、適宜「右打ち時」等という）の第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫへの入球が、非時短遊技状態ではほとんど発生しないのに対し、時短遊技状態では、１分間に例えば２５球程発生する。また、遊技領域Ｒ１の左側領域Ｒ２に遊技球を流下させたとき（以降、適宜「左打ち時」等という）の第１始動入賞口１４ＡＫへの入球は、非時短遊技状態か時短遊技状態かに拘わらず、１分間に４～５球程発生する。なお、右打ち時に始動ゲート１８を通過する遊技球は１分間に約５０球程であり、第２可動部材１４ＢＴの突出位置への移動が頻繁に発生する。つまり、第１可動部材１６ＡＴの退避位置への移動も頻繁に発生するので、時短遊技状態では第２通路１６Ｖへの遊技球の振り分けはほとんど発生しない。 Between the non-time-saving game state and the time-saving game state, the winning probability of the general figure determination is, for example, 1/10 in the non-time-saving game state, and 10/10 in the time-saving game state, and the non-time-saving game state All the normal figures per are per short normal figures, while the normal per figures in the time-saving game state are all per long normal figures. In addition, the fluctuation time of the normal figure determination is shorter in the time saving game state than in the non time saving game state, and is set to 60 seconds and 0.1 seconds, respectively. As a result, when the game ball is made to flow down to the right side area R3 of the game area R1 (hereinafter referred to as "right hitting" etc.), the ball entering the second start winning opening 14BK almost occurs in the non-time saving game state. On the other hand, in the time-saving game state, for example, about 25 balls are generated per minute. Also, when the game ball is made to flow down to the left side area R2 of the game area R1 (hereinafter referred to as "left hitting" etc.), the ball entering the first start winning opening 14AK is in a non-time saving game state or a time saving game state Regardless, 4 to 5 balls are generated per minute. Approximately 50 game balls pass through the starting gate 18 in one minute when hitting to the right, and the movement of the second movable member 14BT to the projecting position frequently occurs. In other words, since the movement of the first movable member 16AT to the retracted position occurs frequently, game balls are hardly distributed to the second passage 16V in the time-saving game state.

従って、遊技者は、非時短遊技状態では、遊技領域Ｒ１の左側領域Ｒ２に遊技球を流下させて、第１始動入賞口１４ＡＫへの入球により第１特図判定を受け、時短遊技状態では、遊技領域Ｒ１の右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させて、第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫへの入球により第２特図判定を受ける。 Therefore, the player, in the non-time-saving gaming state, to flow down the game ball to the left region R2 of the gaming region R1, receive the first special figure determination by entering the ball into the first start winning opening 14AK, in the time-saving gaming state , The game ball is made to flow down to the right side area R3 of the game area R1, and the second special figure determination is received by entering the ball into the second start winning opening 14BK.

遊技機１０では、第１特図判定と第２特図判定の間では、遊技状態が非時短遊技状態であるか時短遊技状態であるかに関係なく、大当りの当選確率は同じになっている。また、第１特図判定と第２特図判定の間では、遊技状態が非時短遊技状態であるか時短遊技状態であるかに関係なく、第２特図判定の方が第１特図判定よりも小当りの当選確率が高くなっている。図５には、遊技機１０における大当り確率と小当り確率の一例が示されていて、第１特図判定での大当り確率と小当り確率は、１／３００と０になっていて、第２特図判定での大当り確率と小当り確率は、１／３００と９９／３００になっている。 In the game machine 10, between the first special figure determination and the second special figure determination, regardless of whether the game state is the non-time-saving game state or the time-saving game state, the winning probability of the big hit is the same. . Also, between the first special figure determination and the second special figure determination, regardless of whether the gaming state is a non-time-saving gaming state or a time-saving gaming state, the second special figure determination is the first special figure determination The probability of winning a small hit is higher than that. FIG. 5 shows an example of the big-hit probability and the small-hit probability in the gaming machine 10. The big-hit probability and the small-hit probability in the first special figure determination are 1/300 and 0, The big hit probability and the small hit probability in the special figure determination are 1/300 and 99/300.

遊技機１０では、小当り遊技が実行されると、第２大入賞口１５ＢＫに遊技球が入球可能となる。ここで、第２大入賞装置１５Ｂでは、第２大入賞口１５ＢＫに入球した遊技球が特定領域（Ｖゾーン）と通常領域（共に図示せず）の何れかに振り分けられるようになっていて、特定領域を遊技球が通過する（即ち、Ｖ入賞する）と、大当りが確定し、遊技状態が小当り遊技状態から大当り遊技状態に変化して、大当り遊技が実行される。そして、Ｖ入賞後の大当り遊技では、第１大入賞口１５ＡＫに遊技球が入球可能となる。Ｖ入賞により大当りが確定した場合には、その大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態は時短遊技状態になる。 In the gaming machine 10, when a small winning game is executed, a game ball can enter the second big winning hole 15BK. Here, in the second big winning device 15B, the game balls entering the second big winning hole 15BK are sorted into either a specific area (V zone) or a normal area (both not shown). When the game ball passes through the specific area (that is, wins V), the big win is determined, the game state changes from the small win game state to the big win game state, and the big win game is executed. Then, in the jackpot game after winning V, the game ball can enter the first jackpot 15AK. When the big win is confirmed by the V prize, the game state after the big win game ends becomes a time-saving game state.

本実施形態では、第２特図判定で小当りになったときには、非時短遊技状態であるか時短遊技状態であるかに関係なく、特定領域への振り分けが１００％になっている。 In this embodiment, when the second special figure determination results in a small hit, the distribution to the specific area is 100% regardless of whether it is a non-time-saving game state or a time-saving game state.

遊技機１０の最初の遊技状態は、非時短遊技状態である通常遊技状態となっている。通常遊技状態から特別遊技状態への状態移行は、大当りを契機にして行われる。具体的には、大当りには、大当り遊技の終了後に時短遊技状態となる時短付き大当りと、大当り遊技の終了後に時短遊技状態とならない（即ち、非時短遊技状態となる）時短無し大当りと、の２種類が存在する。時短付き大当りであるか時短無し大当りであるかは、特図判定の判定値（大当り乱数）によって決定される。 The first game state of the gaming machine 10 is a normal game state which is a non-time-saving game state. The transition from the normal game state to the special game state is triggered by a big hit. Specifically, the jackpot includes a time-saving jackpot that becomes a time-saving game state after the end of the jackpot game, and a time-saving jackpot that does not enter the time-saving game state after the jackpot game ends (that is, becomes a non-time-saving game state). There are two types. Whether it is a time saving jackpot or a time saving jackpot is determined by a judgment value (jackpot random number) of special figure judgment.

本実施形態では、非時短遊技状態での大当りには、時短付き大当りと時短無し大当りの２種類が存在し、時短遊技状態での大当りは、時短付き大当りの１種類のみとなっている。また、時短遊技状態は、大当りになるか（小当り遊技でＶ入賞することを含む。）、特図判定の実行回数が予め設定された上限回数（以下、「時短上限回数」という。）に達成するか、によって終了し、時短遊技状態が終了すると遊技状態が非時短遊技状態に移行する。 In this embodiment, there are two kinds of big wins in the non-time-saving game state, that is, big wins with time saving and big wins without time-saving, and only one kind of big wins in the time-saving game state, that is, big wins with time saving. In addition, the time-saving gaming state is a big hit (including V winning in a small winning game), or the number of executions of special figure determination is set in advance (hereinafter referred to as "time-saving upper limit number"). It ends depending on whether it is achieved, and when the time-saving game state ends, the game state shifts to a non-time-saving game state.

時短上限回数は、例えば、１００回に設定されている。ここで、上述したように、時短遊技状態で特図判定が行われる間は、遊技球が第２通路１６Ｖへ振り分けられることがほとんどないので、第２特図判定で小当りになったとしても第２大入賞口１５ＢＫへ遊技球が入賞することはほとんどない。そして、特図判定が１００回行われて非時短遊技状態に移行すると、当該変動と保留された特図判定（最大４回）との分の最大５回、第２特図判定が非時短遊技状態で行われることとなる。このとき、非時短遊技状態では、普図判定の当選確率が低くかつショート普図当りにしかならないので、第１可動部材１６ＡＴが突出位置に配置された状態が維持され、第２通路１６Ｖへの遊技球の振り分け及び第２大入賞口１５ＢＫへの遊技球の入賞が可能となる。この最大５回のうちに小当りに当選すると、小当り遊技中にＶ入賞して、大当り遊技が実行され、大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態が再び時短遊技状態となる。また、この最大５回のうちに大当りになっても、大当り遊技終了後の遊技状態が再び時短遊技状態となる。１００回目後の最大５回の第２当否判定で大当りか小当りかの何れかに当選しないと、非時短遊技状態のまま遊技が続行する。ここで、大当り遊技終了後の時短遊技状態が「第１特別遊技状態」であり、第１特別遊技状態終了後の最大５回の第２当否判定分の非時短遊技状態が「第２特別遊技状態」であり、第１特別遊技状態になる前及び第２特別遊技状態終了後の非時短遊技状態が「通常遊技状態」である。 The time saving upper limit frequency is set to 100 times, for example. Here, as described above, while the special figure determination is performed in the time-saving gaming state, the game balls are rarely distributed to the second passage 16V, so even if the second special figure determination results in a small hit A game ball rarely enters the second big winning hole 15BK. Then, when the special figure judgment is performed 100 times and shifts to the non-time saving game state, the second special figure judgment is a non-time saving game state. At this time, in the non-time-saving game state, the probability of winning the normal pattern determination is low and only the short normal pattern is hit, so the state in which the first movable member 16AT is arranged at the projecting position is maintained, and the second passage 16V. It is possible to distribute the game balls and to win the game balls into the second big prize opening 15BK. If a small win is won within the maximum five times, a V prize is won during the small win game, the big win game is executed, and the game state after the big win game ends becomes the time-saving game state again. Moreover, even if a big win is achieved within the maximum of five times, the game state after the big win game ends becomes the time-saving game state again. If either the big win or the small win is not won in the second success/failure determination of a maximum of five times after the 100th time, the game continues in a non-time-saving game state. Here, the time-saving game state after the end of the jackpot game is the “first special game state”, and the non-time-saving game state for the second success/failure determination of up to five times after the end of the first special game state is the “second special game state", and the non-time-saving game state before the first special game state and after the second special game state ends is the "normal game state".

このように、遊技機１０では、時短遊技状態になる（特別遊技状態になる）と、１００回目の当否判定までに第２当否判定で当選確率１／３００の大当りになる（第１特別遊技状態で大当りになる）か、その後の最大５回の第２当否判定で当選確率１／３００の大当り又は当選確率９９／３００の小当りになる（第２特別遊技状態で大当り又は小当りになる）か、で再び時短遊技状態（特別遊技状態）に設定されるため、いったん特別遊技状態になると通常遊技状態へ移行し難くなっていて、通常遊技状態へ移行することなく大当りが連続（連チャン）し易くなっている。なお、第２当否判定の大当りの当選確率が１／３００で、第２当否判定の小当りの当選確率が９９／３００であるため、第２特図判定で大当りになる場合よりも、第２特図判定で小当りとなって、その小当り遊技でのＶ入賞によって大当りになる場合の方が発生しやすくなっている。 Thus, in the gaming machine 10, when the time-saving game state is entered (the special game state is entered), the winning probability becomes a big hit of 1/300 in the second success/failure determination by the 100th success/failure determination (the first special game state or a big hit with a winning probability of 1/300 or a small win with a winning probability of 99/300 in a maximum of 5 times of second success/failure judgment (big win or small win in the second special game state). Or, because it is set to the time-saving game state (special game state) again, once it enters the special game state, it is difficult to shift to the normal game state, and the big hit is continuous without shifting to the normal game state (continuous chan) It's getting easier. In addition, since the probability of winning the big hit of the second right or wrong judgment is 1/300, and the probability of winning the small hit of the second right or wrong judgment is 99/300, the second It is more likely that a small win is made in the special figure determination and a big win is caused by the V winning in the small win game.

なお、遊技機１０では、上限回数は、主制御回路５０（図３参照）のＲＯＭ５０Ｃに記憶されている。また、時短遊技状態での特図判定の実行回数は主制御回路５０のＣＰＵ５０Ａによって計数され、計数された各実行回数はＲＡＭ５０Ｂに記憶される。そして、主制御回路５０は、時短遊技状態において、大当りとなったとき、又は、特図判定の実行回数が上限回数に達し、保留分まで消化されたときに、時短遊技状態を終了する。なお、大当りになることなく時短遊技状態が終了した場合には、主制御回路５０は、遊技状態を非時短遊技状態に制御する。 In addition, in the game machine 10, the upper limit number of times is stored in the ROM 50C of the main control circuit 50 (see FIG. 3). In addition, the number of executions of the special figure determination in the time saving game state is counted by the CPU 50A of the main control circuit 50, and each counted number of executions is stored in the RAM 50B. Then, the main control circuit 50 ends the time-saving game state when a big win is achieved in the time-saving game state, or when the number of executions of the special figure determination reaches the upper limit and even the reserved portion is consumed. In addition, when the time-saving game state ends without becoming a big hit, the main control circuit 50 controls the game state to a non-time-saving game state.

本実施形態の遊技機１０の構成は以上である。次に、遊技機１０の作用効果について説明する。遊技機１０では、時短遊技状態で右打ちを行うと、第２可動部材１４ＢＴと第１可動部材１６ＡＴとが短時間ずつ交互に突出位置に配される。ここで、第１可動部材１６ＡＴが突出位置に配される時間は第２可動部材１４ＢＴが突出位置に配される時間よりも短く、第２大入賞口１５ＢＫには遊技球は実質的に入賞せず、第２始動入賞口１４ＢＫにのみ遊技球が入賞する。そして、当否判定が１００回行われて非時短遊技状態となると、第１可動部材１６ＡＴが突出位置に配された状態が維持されて、第２大入賞口１５ＢＫへの入賞が可能となる。 The configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as described above. Next, functions and effects of the gaming machine 10 will be described. In the game machine 10, when the player hits to the right in the time-saving game state, the second movable member 14BT and the first movable member 16AT are alternately arranged at the projecting positions for short periods of time. Here, the time during which the first movable member 16AT is arranged at the protruding position is shorter than the time during which the second movable member 14BT is arranged at the protruding position, and substantially no game balls enter the second big winning hole 15BK. First, the game ball wins only in the second start winning port 14BK. Then, when the success/failure determination is performed 100 times and it becomes a non-time-saving game state, the state where the first movable member 16AT is arranged at the projecting position is maintained, and the winning to the second big winning hole 15BK becomes possible.

ここで、本実施形態の遊技機１０では、第１と第２の可動部材１６ＡＴ，１４ＢＴが上下に並んでいるため、始動ゲート１８を通過した遊技球の中には、第１可動部材１６ＡＴの転動路に受け止められ、その転動路上を転動したにもかかわらず、第２通路１６Ｖに到達する前に転動路が消失して第２可動部材１４ＢＴに受け止められるものや、第１可動部材１６ＡＴが退避位置に配されていて、その転動路消失位置を通過して第２可動部材１４ＢＴに受け止められるものがあり、第１と第２の可動部材１６ＡＴ，１４ＢＴによって、今までにない斬新な遊技球の流れを生じさせることが可能となる。 Here, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the first and second movable members 16AT and 14BT are arranged vertically, some of the game balls that have passed through the starting gate 18 include the first movable member 16AT. In spite of being received by the rolling path and rolling on the rolling path, the rolling path disappears before reaching the second path 16V and is received by the second movable member 14BT. The member 16AT is arranged at the retracted position, and there is one that passes through the rolling path vanishing position and is received by the second movable member 14BT. It is possible to generate a novel flow of game balls.

また、従来の遊技機では、上側に開放した入賞口が可動部材によって開閉され、可動部材が、入賞口に入球しない遊技球を下流側に流下させるための橋渡しをしていたが、本実施形態では、可変部材が、入賞口へ入球させるための橋渡しをしているため、上述した従来の遊技機に慣れている遊技者に新鮮味を与えることができる。さらに、第１可動部材１６ＡＴと第２可動部材１４ＢＴとのそれぞれの転動路の先の入賞口１５ＢＫ，１４ＢＫの機能が異なっているので、遊技球の流れに興味を持たせることができる。 In addition, in the conventional game machine, the winning opening that opens upward is opened and closed by a movable member, and the movable member serves as a bridge for the game balls that do not enter the winning opening to flow downstream. In terms of form, since the variable member serves as a bridge for making the ball enter the winning hole, it is possible to give a freshness to the players accustomed to the above-described conventional gaming machines. Furthermore, since the winning openings 15BK and 14BK at the ends of the rolling paths of the first movable member 16AT and the second movable member 14BT have different functions, the flow of game balls can be made interesting.

さらに、第１可動部材１６ＡＴと第２可動部材１４ＢＴの駆動状況を遊技状態で異ならせることで、様々な遊技性を設定することができ、遊技の趣向性が向上する。その一例として、本実施形態では、時短遊技状態（第１特別遊技状態）で１／３００の大当りを引くか、時短遊技状態終了後の数回の当否判定（第２特別遊技状態）で１／３００の大当り又は９９／３００の小当りを引くかによって再び時短遊技状態（特別遊技状態）に設定させるという斬新な遊技性になっている。この遊技性によれば、特別遊技状態が終了してしまうと焦る遊技者を、「ギリギリで特別遊技状態に設定し直すことができた」と高揚させることができる。 Furthermore, by varying the driving conditions of the first movable member 16AT and the second movable member 14BT depending on the game state, various game characteristics can be set, thereby improving the amusement of the game. As an example, in the present embodiment, a 1/300 jackpot is drawn in the time saving game state (first special game state), or 1/ It has a novel game property that the time-saving game state (special game state) is set again depending on whether a big win of 300 or a small win of 99/300 is drawn. According to this playability, the player who is impatient when the special game state ends can be exhilarated by saying, "I was able to reset the special game state just in time."
