[0011] <Assignment P> Conventionally, there is a gaming machine of this type that executes a specific operation-responsive presentation during a predetermined display presentation when the operation of an operation means such as an operation button or an operation lever is performed in a specific manner within a valid period during which the operation of the operation means is valid (for example, JP 2015-112124 A (pages 39-40, Figure 20)). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, the problem is that it is not possible to suitably improve the interest of the specific operation-responsive presentation. The inventions (P1-0), (P2-0), and (P4-0) below were made in consideration of these circumstances, and aim to provide a gaming machine that can suitably improve the interest of specific operation-responsive presentations. The inventions according to the following (P1-0), (P2-0), and (P4-0) have the following configurations to achieve the above object.

[0012] (P1-0) operation means for receiving operations by a player; a main control means for performing main control regarding games; and a performance execution means for causing a display means to execute a predetermined display performance based on the result of the determination by the main control means. The performance execution means When the operation of the operation means is performed in a specific manner within a valid period in which the operation of the operation means is valid, a specific operation corresponding effect can be executed during the predetermined display effect, Even if it is determined that there is no operation in the specific mode within a period in which the presence or absence of operation of the operating means in the specific mode is determined, the execution of the specific operation corresponding performance is continued. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0013] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-0), even if the operation of the operation means in the specific mode is interrupted after the specific operation corresponding effect has started, if the operation in the specific mode is resumed within the period in which the presence or absence of the operation in the specific mode is determined, the execution of the specific operation corresponding effect will continue, so there is no need to restart the operation of the operation means from scratch and wait for the specific operation corresponding effect to return to the state before the interruption. As a result, the interest of the specific operation corresponding effect can be suitably improved.

[0014] (P1-1) In the gaming machine described in (P1-0), The performance execution means operation detection means for detecting an operation of said operation means by a player at predetermined intervals during said valid period; When the operation of the operation means is performed in a specific manner, it is determined whether or not to continue the execution of the specific operation-responsive effect based on whether or not the operation of the operation means by the player is detected at a determination timing set at each specific interval longer than the predetermined interval. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0015] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-1) above, even if the detection of the player's operation is interrupted after the start of the specific operation response effect, if the player resumes operating the operation means by the judgment timing, the execution of the specific operation response effect will continue, so there is no need to restart the operation of the operation means from scratch and wait for the specific operation response effect to return to the state before the interruption. As a result, the interest of the specific operation response effect can be suitably improved.

[0016] (P1-2) In the gaming machine described in (P1-1), The gaming machine is characterized in that the effect execution means continues to execute the specific operation-responsive effect even after the judgment timing, based on the detection of operation of the operation means by the player at the judgment timing after the operation of the operation means is performed in a specific manner.

[0017] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-2) above, even if the detection of the player's operation is interrupted after the start of the specific operation response effect, if the player resumes operating the operation means by the judgment timing, the execution of the specific operation response effect will continue after this judgment timing, so there is no need to restart the operation of the operation means from scratch and wait for the specific operation response effect to return to the state before the interruption. As a result, the interest of the specific operation response effect can be suitably improved.

[0018] (P1-3) In the gaming machine described in (P1-1) or (P1-2), The gaming machine is characterized in that the effect execution means ends the specific operation corresponding effect at the judgment timing based on the fact that no operation of the operation means by the player is detected at the judgment timing after the operation of the operation means is performed in a specific manner.

[0019] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-3), after the specific operation response effect has started, if the detection of the player's operation is interrupted and the player does not resume operating the operation means by the judgment timing, the specific operation response effect will end at this judgment timing, so that it becomes easier to reduce neglect of operation. As a result, the interest of the specific operation response effect can be suitably improved.

[0025] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-6), even if the detection of the player's operation is interrupted after the start of the specific operation corresponding effect, the player can still enjoy the specific operation corresponding effect until the judgment timing arrives, but if the player neglects the operation, the specific operation corresponding effect can no longer be enjoyed. As a result, the interest of the specific operation corresponding effect can be suitably improved.

[0027] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-7) above, even if the detection of the player's operation is interrupted after the specific operation corresponding effect has started, the player can enjoy the specific operation corresponding effect until the judgment timing arrives, and if the player resumes the operation and wins the lottery, the player can enjoy the specific operation corresponding effect further. As a result, the interest of the specific operation corresponding effect can be suitably improved.

[0028] (P1-8) In the gaming machine described in (P1-7), The effect execution means continues to execute the effect corresponding to the specific operation until the judgment timing arrives when, after the operation of the operating means is performed in a specific manner, no operation is detected at any time other than the judgment timing, and at the judgment timing, conducts a lottery based on the detection of operation of the operating means by the player, and if the result of the lottery is a loss, terminates the execution of the effect corresponding to the specific operation.

[0029] According to the gaming machine described in (P1-8) above, even if the detection of the player's operation is interrupted after the specific operation corresponding effect has started, the player can enjoy the specific operation corresponding effect until the judgment timing arrives, and if the player resumes operation and wins the lottery, the player can further enjoy the specific operation corresponding effect, but if the player loses, the specific operation corresponding effect can no longer be enjoyed. As a result, the interest of the specific operation corresponding effect can be suitably improved.

[0030] (P2-0) operation means for receiving operations by a player; a main control means for performing main control regarding games; and a performance execution means for causing a display means to execute a predetermined display performance based on the result of the determination by the main control means.

[0220] (Sa16) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sa1) to (Sa15), The first state is a state for presentation, The state control means The state after the result of the variable display becomes a specific result (time reduction (2) hit) can be the first state (consecutive chance zone in the performance), The end condition of the first state in terms of presentation can be that the result of the variable display in the first state in terms of presentation becomes a predetermined result (win with time reduction 1, normal win, miss) that occurs more easily than the specific result and has less value to the player than the specific result a number of times less than a predetermined upper limit number of times, In response to the result of the variable display at the end of the first state in the presentation or at a predetermined timing until the end becoming the predetermined result, the state after the end of the first state in the presentation can be made into a presentation state (a heart-pounding zone in the presentation) different from the first state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0221] According to the gaming machine described in (Sa16), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sa16), the first state in the presentation that occurs after the result of the varying display becomes a specific result may not end until the result of the varying display successively becomes a predetermined result, or may end at a predetermined timing until the end is reached, so the player can reliably enjoy the presentation related to the first state until the result of the varying display successively becomes the predetermined result. Furthermore, if it is predicted that the result will be unfavorable to the player, there is no need to continue showing the presentation related to the first state to the end, so the player can also enjoy the presentation related to a state different from the first state at a predetermined timing until the result of the varying display becomes the final result.

[0222] <Task Sb> Conventionally, there are gaming machines of this type that, for example, grant bonuses such as a time-saving state or a special state after a predetermined winning result occurs as a result of a variable display (for example, JP 2013-42936 A, page 9). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, with this type of gaming machine, even if special benefits such as time-saving states or probability-changing states are provided, the game tends to become monotonous, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to further improve the interest of the game. The invention relating to (Sb1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. The invention according to (Sb1) below has the following configuration to achieve this object.

[0223] (Sb1) A game board having a game area where game balls can flow down; A variable display means (third pattern display device 42) that displays a variable pattern based on the establishment of a predetermined condition; A state control means (CPU 501 of the main control device 261) capable of controlling the state related to the game is provided, The state control means is capable of generating at least a first state (a consecutive win zone) and a second state (an exciting zone) during a game; In the first state, if the result of the variable display is a first specific result (normal win) or a second specific result (a win with time reduction (1)), it is unlikely that the player will be in a disadvantageous state thereafter. If the second specific result is won in the second state, it is unlikely that the disadvantageous state will occur thereafter, A state after winning the second specific result in the second state is an advantageous state for the player (exciting zone), A state after winning the first specific result in the second state is a state (normal state) that is more disadvantageous to the player than a state after winning the second specific result in the second state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0224] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb1), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sb1), whether the first specific result is won in the first state or the second state determines whether the player will subsequently be in an unfavorable state in the specific state, so that when a certain type of winning result is achieved, the subsequent state can be made more diverse. As a result, it is possible to improve entertainment value in the game.

[0225] (Sb2) In the gaming machine described in (Sb1), If the disadvantageous state does not occur in the first state, a result advantageous to the player can occur, When the second state becomes the unfavorable state, it is a state in which the player falls from a state in which an advantageous result is likely to occur. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0226] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb2) above, whether a state in which results advantageous to the player can occur consecutively will differ depending on whether the first specific result is won in the first state or the second state, so even if the first specific result is won, the subsequent state can be diverse.

[0227] (Sb3) In the gaming machine described in (Sb1) or (Sb2), A variable ball entry means (special drawing 2 start winning device 33b) is provided which can be changed between an open state in which the game ball flowing down the game area can enter and a closed state in which the game ball is difficult to enter, In the second state, a special benefit (time reduction) is given that the variable ball entry means makes it easier to enter the ball. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0228] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb3) above, in the second state, a special privilege is given in that it is easier for the ball to enter the variable ball entry means, so that the second state can be made to have gaming value for the player.

[0229] (Sb4) In the gaming machine described in (Sb3), The disadvantageous state occurring in the second state is a state in which the benefit is lost in the second state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0230] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb4) above, when the first specific result is won in the second state, it becomes difficult for the ball to enter the variable ball entry means in the second state, so that a difference can be reliably made between the state after the first specific result is won in the first state and the state after the first specific result is won in the second state.

[0231] (Sb5) In the gaming machine described in (Sb4), When the result of the variable display in the second state is the second specific result, the benefit continues, and when the result of the variable display in the second state is the first specific result, the benefit is lost. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0232] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb5), if the result of the variable display in the second state is the second specific result, the above-mentioned benefit continues, and if the result of the variable display in the second state is the first specific result, this benefit disappears, so that a sense of anticipation can be created as to whether the result of the variable display in the second state is the first specific result or the second specific result.

[0233] (Sb6) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sb1) to (Sb5), If the first specific result is won in the first state, the player will then be in an advantageous state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0234] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb6), whether the first specific result is won in the first state or the second state determines whether the specific state will be advantageous to the player thereafter, so when a certain type of winning result is achieved, the subsequent state can be varied, thereby increasing the interest of the game.

[0235] (Sb7) In the gaming machine described in (Sb6), The state advantageous to the player that occurs in the first state continues to be a state that is likely to result in an advantageous result to the player in the next and subsequent variable displays. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0236] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb7) above, when the first specific result is won in the first state, the state in which the result is likely to be advantageous to the player continues in the next and subsequent variable displays, making the first state more advantageous than the second state.

[0237] (Sb8) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sb2) to (Sb7), The state control means continues the first state when the result of the variable display up to a specific number of times in the first state is the second specific result, and transitions the first state to the second state when the result of the variable display the specific number of times in the first state is the second specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0238] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb8) above, the advantageous or disadvantageous state of the subsequent state differs depending on whether the second specific result is won within a specific number of tries in the first state or whether the second specific result is won the specific number of tries, so that even if the second specific result is won in the first state, the subsequent state can be varied. Note that the advantageous or disadvantageous state of the subsequent state means that if the second specific result is won within a specific number of tries in the first state, the advantageous state of the first state continues, but if the second specific result is won the specific number of tries, the state will be disadvantageous even if the game transitions to the second state.

[0239] (Sb9) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sb1) to (Sb8), The state control means continues the first state when the result of the variable display up to a specific number of times in the first state is the first specified result, and ends the first state when the result of the variable display of the variable display for the specific number of times in the first state is the first specified result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0240] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb9) above, the advantageous or disadvantageous state in the first state varies depending on whether the first specific result is won within a specific number of tries or whether the first specific result is won the specific number of tries, so that even if the first specific result is won in the first state, the subsequent state can be varied. Note that the advantageous or disadvantageous state in the subsequent state means that if the first specific result is won within a specific number of tries in the first state, the first state will continue, which is an advantageous state, and if the first specific result is won the specific number of tries, the first state will end, which is an unfavorable state.

[0241] (Sb10) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb1) to (Sb9), the predetermined result includes a third identification result different from the first identification result and the second identification result, The state control means generates the first state anew when the result of the final variable display of the specific number of times in the first state is the third specific result, and ends the current first state and generates the first state anew when the result of the variable display up to the final variable display of the specific number of times in the first state is the third specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0242] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb10) above, the advantage of the subsequent state differs depending on whether the third specific result is won at the end of the specific number of times in the first state or whether the third specific result is won before the final variable display of the specific number of times is reached, so that even if the third specific result is won in the first state, the subsequent state can be varied. Note that the advantage of the subsequent state means that if the third specific result is won at the end of the specific number of times in the first state, a favorable state will be created in which the first state will be newly generated from that point onward, and if the third specific result is won before the final variable display of the specific number of times is reached, a favorable state will be created in which the first state will be generated for a shorter period than described above.

[0243] (Sb11) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb3) to (Sb10), In the first state, the benefit is granted for a predetermined period, and in the second state, the benefit is granted for a period shorter than the predetermined period. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0244] According to the invention described in (Sb11) above, the advantageous and disadvantageous conditions differ depending on whether the state is the first state or the second state, so the game state itself can be varied. Note that the above-mentioned advantageous and disadvantageous conditions mean that in the first state, the period during which it is easy for the ball to score in the variable scoring means is long, while in the second state, the period during which it is easy for the ball to score in the variable scoring means is short, which is an unfavorable condition.

[0245] (Sb12) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb3) to (Sb11), The state control means is capable of generating a third state in which the benefit is not granted, and is capable of transitioning the first state to the third state when a result of the variable display a specific number of times in the first state is the first specific result, and is capable of not transitioning the first state to the third state when a result of the variable display up to the specific number of times in the first state is the first specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0246] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb12) above, the advantageous or disadvantageous state in the first state varies depending on whether the first specific result is won in the specific number of tries or by the specific number of tries, so that even if the first specific result is won in the first state, the subsequent state can be varied. Note that an advantageous subsequent state means that if the first specific result is won by the specific number of tries in the first state, the first state is maintained and no transition to the third state is made, and an unfavorable subsequent state means that if the first specific result is won by the specific number of tries, a transition to the third state in which the above-mentioned benefit is not granted occurs.

[0247] (Sb13) In the gaming machine described in (Sb12), The state control means is capable of transitioning the third state to the first state when the result of the variable display in the third state is the third specified result, and is capable of not transitioning the third state to the first state when the result of the variable display in the third state is the first specified result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0248] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb13) above, in the third state, the advantage or disadvantage of the subsequent state can be varied depending on whether the third specific result or the first specific result is won. By configuring in this manner, even if the player falls from the first state to the third state, there is a possibility that the first state can be restored. Since there is a possibility that the gaming state of the third state will transition to the first state in which the above-mentioned benefit can be awarded, it is possible to increase the interest in playing in the third state.

[0249] (Sb14) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb1) to (Sb13), The probability that the result of the variable display in the first state will result in the unfavorable state is lower than the probability that the result will result in the unfavorable state in the second state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0250] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb14) above, the probability of an unfavorable state occurring in the first state is lower than the probability of an unfavorable state occurring in the second state, so the advantageous and disadvantageous states after a predetermined result are varied, making it possible to diversify the states after a predetermined result is achieved. Note that an advantageous state after a predetermined result is achieved means that the probability of an unfavorable state occurring in the first state is low, making it easy for the advantageous state to continue for the player, and an unfavorable state after a predetermined result is achieved means that the probability of an unfavorable state occurring in the second state is high, making it easy for the advantageous state to end for the player.

[0251] <Assignment Sc> Conventionally, there are gaming machines of this type that, for example, grant bonuses such as a time-saving state or a special state after a predetermined winning result occurs as a result of a variable display (for example, JP 2013-42936 A, page 9, Figure 43). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, with this type of gaming machine, even if special benefits such as time-saving states or probability-changing states are provided, the game tends to become monotonous, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to further improve the interest of the game. The invention of (Sc1) below has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine that improves the entertainment value of the game. The invention according to (Sc1) below has the following configuration to achieve this object.

[0252] (Sc1) A game board having a game area in which game balls can flow down; A first starting ball entry means (special drawing 1 starting winning device 33a) that establishes the first predetermined condition (helix winning) when the game ball flowing down the game area enters; A passage detection means (gate) for detecting the passage of a game ball flowing down the game area; A second starting ball entry means (special drawing 2 starting winning device 33b) that can be changed between an open state and a closed state when the passing of the game ball is detected by the passing detection means, and that in the open state, the entry of the game ball flowing down the game area is considered to be the establishment of a second predetermined condition (electric chute winning); A variable display means (third pattern display device 42) capable of variably displaying a pattern based on the establishment of either a first predetermined condition or a second predetermined condition; When the result of the variable display becomes a predetermined result (win), an opening and closing ball entry means (V winning device 31, variable winning device 32) can be opened and closed a predetermined number of times; The system is provided with a state control means (CPU 501 of the main control device 261) capable of generating at least a non-specific state (normal state), an open / close state in which the open / close ball entry means is opened / closed, and a specific state (time-shortened state) that is more advantageous to the player than the non-specific state after the open / close state ends, The state control means The second predetermined condition is set so that it is difficult to satisfy the second predetermined condition in the non-specific state and it is easy to satisfy the second predetermined condition in the specific state, The variable display is set to be generated more easily when the second predetermined condition is satisfied than when the first predetermined condition is satisfied in the specific state, The specific state includes a first specific state (time reduction (1)) and a second specific state (time reduction (2)) that is more advantageous than the first specific state, The state control means a state in which the second predetermined condition is likely to be satisfied for a predetermined period in the first specific state, and a state in which the second predetermined condition is likely to be satisfied for a period longer than the predetermined period in the second specific state; The second specific state is set to occur more easily when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state becomes the predetermined result than when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0253] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc1), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sc1), the specific state is more likely to occur when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of a first predetermined condition in a non-specific state becomes a predetermined result than when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of a second predetermined condition in a specific state becomes a predetermined result, so that the player can be made highly interested not only in the result of the variable display in a specific state becoming a predetermined result, but also in the result of the variable display in a non-specific state becoming a predetermined result.

[0254] (Sc2) In the gaming machine described in (Sc1), The state control means is capable of causing the second specific state to occur when a result of a variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0255] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc2), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sc2), there are two ways for the second specific state to occur: one that aims to achieve the first predetermined condition, and one that aims to achieve the second predetermined condition. Therefore, whether the player is playing a game related to the first predetermined condition or a game related to the second predetermined condition, there is a possibility that the second specific state, which is advantageous to the player, will occur. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0256] (Sc3) In the gaming machine described in (Sc1) or (Sc2), The state control means sets the first specific state and the second specific state to occur when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result and the game ball flowing down the game area passes through a specific area (V winning opening 31a) provided in the game area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0257] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc3), the entertainment value of the gaming machine can be reliably improved. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sc3), the first specific state and the second specific state occur when the gaming ball passes through the specific area, so that a route is provided that can cause either specific state. Therefore, the entertainment value of the gaming machine is reliably improved.

[0258] (Sc4) In the gaming machine described in (Sc3), The state control means sets the second specific state to be less likely to occur than the first specific state when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result and the game ball flowing down the game area passes through the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0259] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc4), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sc4), it is possible to create a state in which the relatively advantageous second specific state is less likely to occur than the relatively unfavorable first specific state, thereby increasing the rarity of the second specific state. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0260] (Sc5) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sc3) to (Sc4), The state control means When the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state is a special result (direct hit jackpot) among the predetermined results, the second specific state is set to occur without the game ball entering the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0261] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc5), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sc5), during a game aiming to achieve a second predetermined condition, a special result is provided regardless of whether the ball lands in a specific area. In this way, the difference between a game aiming to achieve a first predetermined condition and a game aiming to achieve a second predetermined condition becomes clear. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0262] (Sc6) In the gaming machine described in (Sc5), The state control means In the case where the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state is the predetermined result, and in the case where the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state is the special result, the second specific state is set to occur more easily than when a game ball enters the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0263] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc6), a gaming machine with improved gaming enjoyment can be provided. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sc6), there are three methods for generating the second specific state: a route (normal route) that is generated when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of a first predetermined condition in a non-specific state becomes a predetermined result; a route (special route) that is generated when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of a second predetermined condition in a specific state becomes a special result; and a route (specific route) that passes through a specific area when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of a second predetermined condition in a specific state becomes a predetermined result. By making the normal route and the special route more advantageous than the specific route in terms of making it easier to generate the second specific state, it is possible to differentiate between the routes. With this configuration, a gaming machine with improved gaming enjoyment can be provided.

[0264] (Sc7) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sc1) to (Sc6), The state control means is set so that the time from the detection of the passage of the game ball to the opening of the variable ball entry means in the specific state is shorter than the time from the detection of the passage of the game ball to the opening of the variable ball entry means in the non-specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0265] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc7), the time from the detection of the passage of the gaming ball to the variable ball entry means opening in a specific state is shorter than the time from the detection of the passage of the gaming ball to the variable ball entry means opening in a non-specific state, so that the player can be made to take a high interest not only in the fact that the result of the variable display in a non-specific state is a predetermined result, but also in the fact that the result of the variable display in a specific state is a predetermined result.

[0266] (Sc8) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sc1) to (Sc7), The state control means sets a game in which a game ball is made to enter the second start ball entry means for a predetermined period in the first specific state, and a game in which a game ball is made to enter the second start ball entry means for a period longer than the predetermined period in the second specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0267] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc8), in the first specific state, the result of the lottery based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball is made more likely to be the predetermined result for a predetermined period of time, and in the second specific state, the result of the lottery based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball is made more likely to be the predetermined result for a period longer than the predetermined period of time.Therefore, the player can be made to take a high interest not only in the result of the variable display in the non-specific state being the predetermined result, but also in the result of the variable display in the specific state being the predetermined result.

[0268] (Sc9) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sc1) to (Sc8), The state control means is capable of transitioning the non-specific state to the specific state as a result of a variable display accompanying the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state, The variable display means operates in accordance with the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied during a predetermined period that starts before the start of variable display in the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0269] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc9), the variable display is made multiple times depending on the number of times the second predetermined condition is met during a predetermined period starting before the transition to the specific state, so that the player can be made to take a high interest not only in the fact that the result of the variable display in a non-specific state will be a predetermined result, but also in the fact that the result of the variable display in a specific state will be a predetermined result.

[0270] (Sc10) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sc1) to (Sc9), The state control means can provide a benefit that shortens the time from when the passage of the game ball is detected until the variable ball entry means is in an open state based on the result of the variable display, The benefit is more likely to be granted in the specific state than in the non-specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0271] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc10), a benefit that shortens the time from the detection of the passage of the gaming ball to the opening of the variable ball entry means as a result of the variable display is likely to be awarded in a specific state, but is unlikely to be awarded in a non-specific state. Therefore, according to this gaming machine, it is possible to make the player highly interested not only in the fact that the result of the variable display in a non-specific state becomes a predetermined result, but also in the fact that the result of the variable display in a specific state becomes a predetermined result.

[0272] <Task Sd> Conventionally, this type of gaming machine has been known to grant bonuses such as a time-saving state or a special state after a predetermined winning result occurs as a result of the variable display (for example, JP 2013-42936 A, page 9, Figure 43). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, with this type of gaming machine, even if special benefits such as time-saving states or probability-changing states are provided, the game tends to become monotonous, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to further improve the interest of the game. The invention relating to (Sd1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine that improves the entertainment value of the game. The invention according to (Sd1) below has the following configuration to achieve this object.

[0273] (Sd1) A game board having a game area in which game balls can flow down; A first starting ball entry means (special drawing 1 starting winning device 33a) that establishes the first predetermined condition (helix winning) when the game ball flowing down the game area enters; A passage detection means (gate) for detecting the passage of a game ball flowing down the game area; A second starting ball entry means (special drawing 2 starting winning device 33b) that can be changed between an open state and a closed state when the passing of the game ball is detected by the passing detection means, and that in the open state, the entry of the game ball flowing down the game area is considered to be the establishment of a second predetermined condition (electric chute winning); A variable display means (third pattern display device 42) capable of variably displaying a pattern based on the establishment of either a first predetermined condition or a second predetermined condition; When the result of the variable display becomes a predetermined result (win), an opening and closing ball entry means (V winning device 31, variable winning device 32) can be opened and closed a predetermined number of times; The system is provided with a state control means (CPU 501 of the main control device 261) capable of generating at least a non-specific state (normal state), an open / close state in which the open / close ball entry means is opened / closed, and a specific state (time-shortened state) that is more advantageous to the player than the non-specific state after the open / close state ends, The state control means In the non-specific state, when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition becomes a specific result (a win with time reduction) that causes the specific state among the predetermined results, the game value is set to be higher than when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition becomes the specific result, The specific result includes at least a first specific result (a win with time reduction (1)) and a second specific result (a win with time reduction (2)) having a higher gaming value than the first specific result, The state setting means The setting is made so that when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state becomes the predetermined result, the second specific result is more likely to occur than when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0274] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd1), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd1), a specific result that causes a specific state among predetermined results in a non-specific state is more advantageous to the player than a specific result in a specific state, so the significance of a specific result when it occurs in a non-specific state can be made different from the significance of a specific result when it occurs in a specific state. This configuration makes it easier for the player to understand the difference between a specific state and a non-specific state, and it is possible to provide a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value.

[0275] (Sd2) In the gaming machine described in (Sd1), The state control means is capable of generating the second specific result when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0276] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd2), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd2), there are two ways for the second specific result to occur: one that aims to achieve the first predetermined condition, and one that aims to achieve the second predetermined condition. Therefore, whether the player is playing a game related to the first predetermined condition or a game related to the second predetermined condition, there is a possibility that the second specific result that is advantageous to the player will occur. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0277] (Sd3) In the gaming machine described in (Sd1) or (Sd2), The state control means sets the first specific result and the second specific result to occur when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the specific result and when the game ball flowing down the game area passes through a specific area provided in the game area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0278] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd3), the entertainment value of the gaming machine can be reliably improved. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd3), the first specific state and the second specific state occur when the gaming ball passes through the specific area, so that a route is provided that can cause either specific state. Therefore, the entertainment value of the gaming machine is reliably improved.

[0279] (Sd4) In the gaming machine described in (Sd3), The state control means sets the second specific result to be less likely to occur than the first specific result when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the specific result and the game ball flowing down the game area passes through a specific area provided in the game area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0280] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd4), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd4), it is possible to create a state in which the relatively advantageous second specific state is less likely to occur than the relatively unfavorable first specific state, thereby increasing the rarity of the second specific state. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0281] (Sd5) In the gaming machine described in (Sd4), The state control means is configured so that, when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state is a special result (direct hit jackpot) among the predetermined results, a state identical to the second specific result (time-saving (2) state) occurs without the game ball entering the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0282] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd5), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd5), during a game aiming to achieve the second predetermined condition, a special result is provided regardless of whether the ball lands in a specific area. In this way, the difference between a game aiming to achieve the first predetermined condition and a game aiming to achieve the second predetermined condition becomes clear. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0283] (Sd6) In the gaming machine described in (Sd5), The state control means In the case where the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state is the specific result, and in the case where the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state is the special result, the same state as the second specific result is set to occur more easily than when a game ball enters the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0284] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd6), a gaming machine with improved gaming enjoyment can be provided. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd6), there are three methods for generating a state identical to the second specific result: a route (normal route) that occurs when the result of the variable display based on the fulfillment of a first predetermined condition in a non-specific state becomes a predetermined result; a route (special route) that occurs when the result of the variable display based on the fulfillment of a second predetermined condition in a specific state becomes a special result; and a route (special route) that passes through a specific area when the result of the variable display based on the fulfillment of a second predetermined condition in a specific state becomes a predetermined result. By making the normal route and the special route more advantageous than the specific route in terms of the likelihood of generating a state identical to the second specific result, it is possible to differentiate between the routes. This configuration makes it possible to provide a gaming machine with improved gaming enjoyment.

[0285] (Sd7) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd6), The specified result is a benefit that shortens the time from the start of the normal symbol variation triggered by the detection of the passage of the game ball until the second starting ball entry means is opened as a result of the normal symbol variation becoming a winning result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0286] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd7) above, the specific result provides a benefit of shortening the time from when the passing of the gaming ball is detected by the passing detection means to when the second start ball entry means opens, so the specific result is advantageous to the player in both the non-specific state and the specific state. Furthermore, since the specific result in the non-specific state is more advantageous than the specific result in the specific state, the player can enjoy the benefits associated with the specific result while also gaining further benefits depending on the state. In this way, a gaming machine with even greater entertainment value can be provided.

[0287] (Sd8) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd7), The state control means is capable of transitioning the non-specific state to the specific state as a result of a variable display accompanying the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state, The variable display means operates in accordance with the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied within a predetermined period that starts before the transition to the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0288] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd8), when transitioning from a non-specific state to a specific state, a variable display is made according to the number of times the second specified condition is met within a specified period starting before the transition to the specific state, thereby ensuring that the specified result in the non-specific state is advantageous.

[0289] (Sd9) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd8), The predetermined period is from the end of the effect associated with the predetermined result in the non-specific state to the start of the second variable display in the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0290] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd9), time is secured for the second predetermined condition to be met multiple times, and multiple variable displays can be reliably executed in a specific state, making the specific results in a non-specific state even more advantageous.

[0291] (Sd10) In the gaming machine described in (Sd8), The variable display means operates according to the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied during a specific period from the start of the variable display in the specific state to the start of the next variable display. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0292] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd10), the specific period for the specific state can be reliably made shorter than the predetermined period for the non-specific state, so that the number of times the second predetermined condition is met in the specific period can be reliably made smaller than the number of times the second predetermined condition is met in the predetermined period, thereby making the specific result in the non-specific state even more advantageous.

[0293] (Sd11) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd10), The state control means sets the second predetermined condition so that it is difficult to satisfy the second predetermined condition in the non-specific state and so that it is easy to satisfy the second predetermined condition in the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0294] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd11), since the second predetermined condition is difficult to achieve in the non-specific state and the second predetermined condition is easy to achieve in the specific state, a value different from the gaming value related to the specific result is assigned not only to the non-specific state that is advantageous for the specific result but also to the specific state. By configuring it in this way, it is possible to attract the interest of the player not only to the non-specific result but also to the specific result, and a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value can be provided.

[0295] (Sd12) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd11), The state control means sets the variable display so that the second predetermined condition is satisfied more easily than the first predetermined condition in the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0296] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd12), since it is easier to generate a variable display when the second predetermined condition is met than when the first predetermined condition is met in the specific state, the specific state is accompanied by a benefit different from the benefit given to the player in (Sd1). This makes it possible to make the player highly interested in the specific state as well as the non-specific state.

[0297] (Sd13) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd10), The state control means sets the first specific result to a state advantageous to the player for a predetermined period, and the second specific result to a state advantageous to the player for a period longer than the predetermined period, and sets the specific result to occur more easily when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result than when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state becomes the predetermined result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0298] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd13), the specific result is more likely to occur when the result of the variable display based on the satisfaction of the second predetermined condition in a specific state is a predetermined result than when the result of the variable display based on the satisfaction of the first predetermined condition in a non-specific state is a predetermined result.Therefore, the interest of the player can be attracted not only to the non-specific result but also to the specific result, and a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value can be provided.

[0299] (Sd14) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd13), The state control means sets the first specified result to a state in which the second specified condition is likely to be satisfied for a predetermined period, and sets the second specified result to a state in which the second specified condition is likely to be satisfied for a period longer than the predetermined period. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0300] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd14), the second predetermined condition is likely to be satisfied for a predetermined period of time for the first specific result occurring in the non-specific state, and the second predetermined condition is likely to be satisfied for a period longer than the predetermined period for the second specific result occurring in the specific state, so that the significance of the specific result occurring in the non-specific state and the significance of the specific result occurring in the specific state can be made different from each other. This configuration makes it easier for the player to understand the difference between the specific state and the non-specific state, and a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value can be provided.

[0301] (Sd15) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd14), The state control means is configured to open the variable ball entry means for a predetermined period when the predetermined result is obtained after the first specific result is obtained, and to open the variable ball entry means for a period longer than the predetermined period when the predetermined result is obtained after the second specific result is obtained. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0302] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd15), if the result of the lottery based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball after the first specific result regarding the specific state is obtained is a predetermined result, the variable ball entry means is set to an open state for a predetermined period of time, and if the result of the lottery based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball after the second specific result regarding the non-specific state is obtained is a predetermined result, the variable ball entry means is set to an open state for a period longer than the predetermined period of time, making it easier for players to understand the difference between the specific state and the non-specific state, and providing a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value.

[0303] (Sd16) In the gaming machine described in (Sd15), The state control means is set so that the time from the detection of the passage of a gaming machine to the opening of the variable ball entry means in the specific state is shorter than the time from the detection of the passage of a gaming machine to the opening of the variable ball entry means in the non-specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0304] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd16) above, the time from the detection of the passage of the gaming machine to the variable ball entry means opening in a specific state is shorter than the time from the detection of the passage of the gaming machine to the variable ball entry means opening in a non-specific state, making it easier for players to understand the difference between the specific state and the non-specific state, and providing a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value.

[0305] (Sd17) In the gaming machine described in any one of (Sd1) to (Sd16), The state control means sets the predetermined result to be more likely to occur for a predetermined period after the first specified result is obtained, and sets the predetermined result to be more likely to occur for a period longer than the predetermined period after the second specified result is obtained. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0306] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd17), after a first specific result relating to a specific state is obtained, the result of the lottery based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball is made more likely to be the specified result for a specified period of time, and after a second specific result relating to a specific state is obtained, the result of the lottery based on the detection of the passage of the gaming ball is made more likely to be the specified result for a period longer than the specified period of time, making it easier for players to understand the difference between a specific state and a non-specific state, and providing a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value.

[0307] <Assignment Se> Conventionally, there are gaming machines of this type that, for example, grant special benefits such as a time-saving state or a special chance state after a predetermined winning result occurs as a result of a variable display (for example, JP 2013-42936 A, page 9, Figure 43). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems.
