A gaming machine characterized by:

[0029] According to the gaming machine described in (Sa9), the interest of the gaming machine can be reliably improved. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sa9), when the variable display of the normal pattern is won, the start variable winning means is likely to be in an open state, so the start variable winning means can reliably improve the interest of the gaming machine.

[0030] (Sa10) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sa1) to (Sa9), A variable time setting means (CPU 501) is provided for setting a variable time in the variable display means based on the establishment of the predetermined condition, The variable display in the case where the predetermined result is obtained a number of times equal to or less than the predetermined upper limit number of times in the first state is set to a time shorter than the variable time of the variable display in a state before the first state is entered. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0031] According to the gaming machine described in (Sa10), the entertainment value of the gaming machine can be reliably improved. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sa10), the predetermined result can be generated consecutively in a short variable time in the first state, so that the predetermined result becomes more likely to be generated, and the entertainment value of the gaming machine is reliably improved.

[0032] (Sa11) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sa1) to (Sa10), The state control means can change the state after the end of the first state to the different state, the end condition of which is that the result of the variable display does not become the first predetermined result, in response to the result of the final variable display in the first state becoming a first predetermined result (time-saving (1) hit) among the predetermined results, or can change the state after the end of the first state to the state before the specific result was obtained, in response to the result of the final variable display in the first state becoming a second predetermined result (normal hit). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0033] According to the invention described in (Sa11) above, depending on whether the result of the final variable display in the first state is the first predetermined result or the second predetermined result, it is possible to anticipate whether the subsequent state will again be a state in which the result of the variable display will be the predetermined result.

[0034] (Sa12) In the gaming machine described in (Sa11), The state control means is capable of changing a state after the end of the first state to a state at the start of the first state in response to a result of the variable display in the first state becoming a third predetermined result (a hit of the time reduction (2)). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0035] According to the invention described in (Sa12) above, depending on whether the result of the variable display in the first state becomes the third predetermined result, it is possible to anticipate whether the state will become the state at the start of the first state.

[0036] (Sa13) In the gaming machine described in (Sa11) or (Sa12), The state control means is capable of maintaining the different state, setting the different state to the first state, or setting the different state to the state before the establishment of the predetermined condition, depending on the benefit given by the variable display in the different state. A gaming machine characterized by:

A gaming machine characterized by:

[0041] According to the invention described in (Sa15) above, by obtaining a specific result in the first state, it is possible to make the variable display continue beyond the upper limit of the number of consecutive variable displays.

[0042] (Sa16) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sa1) to (Sa15), The first state is a state in terms of presentation, The state control means includes: The state after the result of the variable display becomes a specific result (time reduction (2) hit) can be the first state (a consecutive win 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 (a win with one time reduction, a normal win, or a miss) that is more likely to occur than the specific result and has a lower value to the player than the specific result a number of times not exceeding a predetermined upper limit number of times, In response to the result of the variable display at the end or at a predetermined timing until the end in the first state in terms of presentation becoming the predetermined result, the state after the end of the first state in terms of presentation can be made into a presentation state different from the first state (a heart-pounding zone in terms of presentation). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0043] 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 variable display becomes a specific result may not end until the result of the variable display becomes a predetermined result in succession, or may end at a predetermined timing until the end is reached, so that the player can enjoy the presentation related to the first state without fail until the result of the variable display becomes a predetermined result in succession. Also, when it is predicted that the result will be unfavorable to the player, it is not necessary to continue showing the presentation related to the first state to the end, so the player can enjoy the presentation related to a state different from the first state at a predetermined timing until the result of the variable display becomes the final result.

[0044] <Subject Sb> Conventionally, as a gaming machine of this type, there is a machine that, for example, awards a bonus 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 bonuses such as a time-saving state or a special probability state are provided, the game tends to become monotonous, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to further increase the interest of the game. The invention relating to (Sb1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and has an object to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. The invention relating to (Sb1) below has the following configuration in order to achieve the above object.

[0045] (Sb1) a game board having a game area in which game balls can flow down; A variable display means (third pattern display device 42) for displaying 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 a state related to a 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, When the result of the variable display in the first state is a first specific result (normal win) or a second specific result (a win with time-saving (1)), the player is unlikely to be in a disadvantageous state thereafter, When the second specific result is won in the second state, the disadvantageous state is unlikely to 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 the first specific result is won in the second state is a state (normal state) that is less favorable to the player than a state after the second specific result is won in the second state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0046] 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 player is disadvantaged in a specific state after that depends on whether the first specific result is won in the first state or the first specific result is won in the second state, so that when a certain type of winning result is obtained, the subsequent state can be made diverse. As a result, it is possible to improve entertainment value of the game.

[0047] (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 a favorable result is likely to occur. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0048] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb2) above, whether a state in which results advantageous to the player can occur consecutively is maintained or not depends on whether the first specific result is won in the first state or the second state, so even if the first specific result is obtained, the subsequent state can be made diverse.

[0049] (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 a game ball flowing down the game area can be entered and a closed state in which the game ball cannot be entered; In the second state, a special benefit (time saving) is given to the variable ball entry means, which makes it easier to enter the ball. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0050] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb3) above, in the second state, a privilege is given in which 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.

[0051] (Sb4) In the gaming machine described in (Sb3), The disadvantageous state occurring in the second state is a state in which the privilege is lost in the second state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0052] 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.

[0053] (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 is continued, 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:

[0054] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb5) above, when the result of the variable display in the second state is the second specific result, the above-mentioned benefit continues, and when the result of the variable display in the second state is the first specific result, the 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.

[0055] (Sb6) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb1) to (Sb5), When the first specific result is won in the first state, the player is then in an advantageous state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0056] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb6) above, whether the specific state is advantageous to the player or not depends on whether the first specific result is won in the first state or the second state, so that when a certain type of winning result is obtained, the subsequent state can be made more diverse, thereby improving the entertainment value of the game.

[0057] (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:

[0058] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb7) above, when the first specific result is won in the first state, a state that is likely to produce advantageous results for the player continues in the next and subsequent variable displays, making the first state more advantageous than the second state.

[0059] (Sb8) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb2) to (Sb7), The state control means continues the first state when a 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 a result of the variable display the specific number of times in the first state is the second specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0060] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb8) above, the advantageous or disadvantageous state in the first state varies depending on whether the second specific result is won within a specific number of times or the second specific result is won in a specific number of times, 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 in the subsequent state means that if the second specific result is won within a specific number of times in the first state, the advantageous state in which the first state continues will continue, and if the second specific result is won in a specific number of times, even if the state is shifted to the second state, it will be an unfavorable state.

[0061] (Sb9) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb1) to (Sb8), The state control means continues the first state when the result of the variable display up to the specific number of times in the first state is the first specific 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 specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0062] 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 times in the first state or the first specific result is won in a specific number of times, 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 times in the first state, the first state will continue, which is an advantageous state, and if the first specific result is won in a specific number of times, the first state will end, which is an unfavorable state.

[0063] (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 a 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 a 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:

[0064] 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 made diverse. 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, 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, the first state will be generated for a shorter period of time than the above.

[0065] (Sb11) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sb3) to (Sb10), In the first state, the benefit is given for a predetermined period, and in the second state, the benefit is given for a period shorter than the predetermined period. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0066] 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 state related to the game itself can be made diverse. Note that the above-mentioned advantageous and disadvantageous conditions are that in the first state, the period during which the ball is likely to enter the variable ball entry means is long, and in the second state, the period during which the ball is likely to enter the variable ball entry means is short, which is an unfavorable condition.

[0067] (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, 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:

[0068] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb12) above, the advantageous or disadvantageous state in the first state differs depending on whether the first specific result is won in the specific number of times or by the specific number of times in the first state, so that even if the first specific result is won in the first state, the subsequent state can be varied. Note that the advantageous state in the subsequent state means that if the first specific result is won by the specific number of times in the first state, the first state is maintained and there is no transition to the third state, and the disadvantageous state in the subsequent state means that if the first specific result is won by the specific number of times, there is a transition to the third state in which the above-mentioned benefit is not given.

[0069] (Sb13) In the gaming machine described in (Sb12), The state control means is capable of transitioning the third state to the first state when a 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 a result of the variable display in the third state is the first specified result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0070] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb13), 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 way, even if the first state falls to the third state, there is a possibility that the first state can be revived. Since there is a possibility that the game state of the third state will transition to the first state in which the above-mentioned benefit can be given, it is possible to increase the interest in the game in the third state.

[0071] (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 of the variable display in the second state will result in the unfavorable state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0072] According to the gaming machine described in (Sb14) above, since the probability of an unfavorable state in the first state is lower than the probability of an unfavorable state in the second state, the advantageous and unfavorable states after the predetermined result are varied, so that the states after the predetermined result are varied. Note that an advantageous state after the predetermined result is achieved means that the probability of an unfavorable state in the first state is low, so that the advantageous state for the player is likely to continue, and an unfavorable state after the predetermined result is achieved means that the probability of an unfavorable state in the second state is high, so that the advantageous state for the player is likely to end.

[0073] <Assignment Sc> Conventionally, as a gaming machine of this type, there is a type that, after a predetermined winning result occurs as a result of a variable display, provides a bonus such as a time-saving state or a special state (for example, JP 2013-42936 A, page 9, FIG. 43). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, with this type of gaming machine, even if bonuses such as a time-saving state or a special probability state are provided, the game tends to become monotonous, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to further increase the interest of the game. The invention relating to (Sc1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value. In order to achieve the above object, the invention related to (Sc1) below has the following configuration.

[0074] (Sc1) A game board having a game area in which game balls can flow down; A first starting ball entry means (a special starting winning device 33a) for establishing a first predetermined condition (a navel winning) when a game ball flowing down the game area enters the game; A passage detection means (gate) for detecting the passage of a game ball flowing down the game area; A second starting ball entry means (a starting winning device 33b for special drawing 2) which can be changed between an open state and a closed state when the passing detection means detects the passing of the game ball, and which determines that the entry of the game ball flowing down the game area in the open state is a second predetermined condition (electric chute winning); A variable display means (a 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 winning means (V winning device 31, variable winning device 32) that can be opened and closed a predetermined number of times; The game machine 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 opening and closing state in which the opening and closing ball entry means is opened and closed, and a specific state (time-saving state) that is more advantageous to the player than the non-specific state after the opening and closing state ends, The state control means includes: 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 so that the second predetermined condition is more likely to be generated 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-saving (1)) and a second specific state (time-saving (2)) that is more advantageous than the first specific state, The state control means includes: a state in which the second specified condition is easily satisfied for a predetermined period in the first specific state, and a state in which the second specified condition is easily satisfied for a period longer than the predetermined period in the second specific state; The second specific state is set so that a case where a result of a variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state becomes the predetermined result is more likely to occur than a case where 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:

[0075] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc1), it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved interest in the game. 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 the 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 the second predetermined condition in a specific state becomes a predetermined result, so that the player can be 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.

[0076] (Sc2) In the gaming machine described in (Sc1), The state control means is capable of generating the second specific state 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:

[0077] 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: a route for aiming at the establishment of the first predetermined condition, and a route for aiming at the establishment of 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 advantageous to the player will occur. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0078] (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 hole 31a) provided in the game area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0079] 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.

[0080] (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 a result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the predetermined result and a game ball flowing down the game area passes through the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0081] 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 generate a state in which a relatively advantageous second specific state is less likely to occur than a relatively unfavorable first specific state, and the rarity of the second specific state increases. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0082] (Sc5) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sc3) to (Sc4), The state control means includes: 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:

[0083] 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 the second predetermined condition, a special result is provided regardless of whether the ball enters 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. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0084] (Sc6) In the gaming machine described in (Sc5), The state control means includes: 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 the game ball enters the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0085] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc6), a gaming machine with improved entertainment value 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) generated when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in a non-specific state becomes a predetermined result, a route (special route) generated when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the 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 establishment of the 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 the sense that the second specific state is more likely to occur, it is possible to make the routes different from each other. By adopting such a configuration, a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided.

[0086] (Sc7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sc1) to (Sc6), The state control means sets 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 to be 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:

[0087] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc7), the time from the detection of the passage of a 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 a 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.

[0088] (Sc8) In the gaming machine according to 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 sets 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:

[0089] 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 a 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 a predetermined result for a period longer than the predetermined period. Therefore, the player can be made to take a high interest not only in the result of the variable display in a non-specific state being a predetermined result, but also in the result of the variable display in a specific state being a predetermined result.

[0090] (Sc9) In the gaming machine according to 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 variation display means operates according to the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied during a predetermined period starting before the start of the variation display in the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0091] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc9), the variable display is performed multiple times depending on the number of times the second specified condition is satisfied within a specified period starting before the transition to the specific state, so that the player can be made highly interested not only in the fact that the result of the variable display in a non-specific state is a specified result, but also in the fact that the result of the variable display in a specific state is a specified result.

[0092] (Sc10) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sc1) to (Sc9), The state control means is capable of providing a benefit in which the time from the detection of the passage of the game ball to the opening of the variable ball entry means is shortened 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:

[0093] According to the gaming machine described in (Sc10), the benefit of shortening 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 given in a specific state, but is unlikely to be given in a non-specific state. Therefore, according to this gaming machine, it is possible to make the player highly interested not only in the result of the variable display in a non-specific state being a predetermined result, but also in the result of the variable display in a specific state being a predetermined result.

[0094] <Assignment Sd> Conventionally, this type of gaming machine has been known to award 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, FIG. 43). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, with this type of gaming machine, even if bonuses such as a time-saving state or a special probability state are provided, the game tends to become monotonous, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to further increase 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 with improved entertainment value. The invention relating to (Sd1) below has the following configuration in order to achieve the above object.

[0095] (Sd1) a game board having a game area in which game balls can flow down; A first starting ball entry means (a special starting winning device 33a) for establishing a first predetermined condition (a navel winning) when a game ball flowing down the game area enters the game; A passage detection means (gate) for detecting the passage of a game ball flowing down the game area; A second starting ball entry means (a starting winning device 33b for special drawing 2) which can be changed between an open state and a closed state when the passing detection means detects the passing of the game ball, and which determines that the entry of the game ball flowing down the game area in the open state is a second predetermined condition (electric chute winning); A variable display means (a 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 winning means (V winning device 31, variable winning device 32) that can be opened and closed a predetermined number of times; The game machine 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 opening and closing state in which the opening and closing ball entry means is opened and closed, and a specific state (time-saving state) that is more advantageous to the player than the non-specific state after the opening and closing state ends, The state control means includes: A case where the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in the non-specific state is a specific result (a win with time reduction) that generates the specific state among the predetermined results, is set to have a higher gaming value than a case where the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state is the specific result, The specific result includes at least a first specific result (a hit with time-saving (1)) and a second specific result (a hit with time-saving (2)) having a higher gaming value than the first specific result, The state setting means includes: The second specific result is set 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:

[0096] 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 generates a specific state among the predetermined results in a non-specific state is more advantageous to the player than a specific result in a specific state, so that the significance of a specific result when a specific result occurs in a non-specific state and the significance of a specific result when a specific result occurs in a specific state can be made different from each other. By configuring in this way, it becomes 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.

[0097] (Sd2) In the gaming machine described in (Sd1), The state control means is capable of generating the second specific result when a result of a variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the specific result. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0098] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd2), a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd2), there are two ways for the second specific result to occur: a route for aiming at the establishment of the first predetermined condition, and a route for aiming at the establishment of 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 advantageous to the player will occur. With this configuration, a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided.

[0099] (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 a result of a variable display based on the establishment of the second predetermined condition in the specific state becomes the specific result and when a game ball flowing down the game area passes through a specific area provided in the game area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0100] 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.

[0101] (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:

[0102] 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 generate a state in which the relatively advantageous second specific state is less likely to occur than the relatively unfavorable first specific state, and the rarity of the second specific state increases. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

[0103] (Sd5) In the gaming machine described in (Sd4), The state control means sets the state to generate a state (time-saving (2) state) identical to the second specific result without the game ball entering the specific area when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the second specific condition in the specific state is a special result (a direct hit jackpot) among the specific results. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0104] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd5), a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd5), a special result is provided during a game aiming to achieve the second predetermined condition, regardless of whether the ball enters 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. With this configuration, a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided.

[0105] (Sd6) In the gaming machine described in (Sd5), The state control means includes: 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 the game ball enters the specific area. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0106] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd6), a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided. That is, according to the gaming machine described in (Sd6), there are three methods for generating the same state as the second specific result: a route (normal route) generated when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the first predetermined condition in a non-specific state becomes a predetermined result, a route (special route) generated when the result of the variable display based on the establishment of the 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 establishment of the 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 the sense that it is easier to generate the same state as the second specific result, it is possible to make the routes different from each other. By adopting such a configuration, a gaming machine with improved entertainment value can be provided.

[0107] (Sd7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sd1) to (Sd6), The specific result is a benefit that the time from the start of the variation of the normal symbols triggered by the detection of the passage of the game ball to the opening of the second starting ball entry means due to the result of the variation of the normal symbols being a winning result is shortened. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0108] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd7) above, the specific result provides a benefit of shortening the time from when the passing detection means detects the passing of the gaming ball 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 obtaining further benefits depending on the state. In this way, a gaming machine with even greater interest can be provided.

[0109] (Sd8) In the gaming machine according to 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 according to the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied within a predetermined period starting before the transition to the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0110] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd8) above, 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 satisfied within a specified period starting before the transition to the specific state, thereby ensuring that the specified result in the non-specific state is favorable.

[0111] (Sd9) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sd1) to (Sd8), The predetermined period is from the end of the performance 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:

[0112] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd9), time is secured for the second predetermined condition to be satisfied multiple times, and multiple variable displays can be reliably executed in a specific state, so that the specific result in a non-specific state becomes even more favorable.

[0113] (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:

[0114] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd10) above, the specific period for the specific state can be reliably shorter than the predetermined period for the non-specific state, so that the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied in the specific period can be reliably smaller than the number of times the second predetermined condition is satisfied in the predetermined period. Therefore, the specific result in the non-specific state becomes more favorable.

[0115] (Sd11) In the gaming machine according to 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:

[0116] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd11), since the second predetermined condition is difficult to achieve in a non-specific state and the second predetermined condition is easy to achieve in a specific state, a value different from the gaming value related to the specific result is given not only to the non-specific state that is advantageous for the specific result but also to the specific state. By configuring 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.

[0117] (Sd12) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sd1) to (Sd11), The state control means sets the variable display so that the variable display is more likely to occur when the second predetermined condition is satisfied than when the first predetermined condition is satisfied in the specific state. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0118] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd12), since it is easier to generate a variable display by satisfying the second predetermined condition in the specific state than by satisfying the first predetermined condition, 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.

[0119] (Sd13) In the gaming machine according to 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 sets 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:

[0120] According to the gaming machine described in (Sd13), the specific result is more likely to occur when the variable display based on the satisfaction of a second predetermined condition in a specific state results in a predetermined result than when the variable display based on the satisfaction of a first predetermined condition in a non-specific state results in a predetermined result. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention not only to non-specific results but also to specific results, and a gaming machine with excellent entertainment value can be provided.

[0198] <Task Sf> Conventionally, as a gaming machine of this type, there is a type that, after a predetermined winning result occurs as a result of a variable display, provides a bonus such as a time-saving state or a special state (for example, JP 2013-42936 A, page 9, FIG. 43). However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems. In other words, in this type of gaming machine, even if the above-mentioned predetermined winning result occurs again while a bonus such as a time-saving state or a special probability state is being awarded, and a new bonus such as a time-saving state or a special probability state is awarded, the game tends to become monotonous, making it difficult to further increase the interest of the game. The invention relating to (Sf1) below has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a gaming machine with improved entertainment value.

A gaming machine characterized by:

[0200] According to the gaming machine described in (Sf1), the value of a first specific state that occurs when the result of the variable display based on the first start information in the normal state becomes a specific result is different from the value of a second specific state that occurs when the result of the variable display based on the second start information in this first specific state becomes a specific result, thereby making the game more interesting in the specific state compared to a gaming machine in which this difference is not made.

[0201] (Sf2) In the gaming machine described in (Sf1), In the first specific state, the result of the variable display based on the second start-up information is likely to be the predetermined result a predetermined number of times (1 to 4 times), In the second specific state, the result of the variable display based on the second start information is likely to become the predetermined result a number of times (5 times) different from the predetermined number of times. A gaming machine characterized by:

[0203] (Sf3) In the gaming machine described in (Sf1) or (Sf2), The state control means includes: In the first specific state and the second specific state, when the result of the variable display based on the second start information becomes the specific result and the game ball flowing down the game area enters a specific area (V winning hole 31a), the second specific state is generated; The ease with which a game ball can enter the specific area is made different between the first specific state and the second specific state (the first special RUSH state has a V winning rate of 50 percent, and the second special RUSH state has a V winning rate of 100 percent). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0204] In the gaming machine described in (Sf3), when the result of the variable display based on the second start information becomes a specific result, when attempting to get a gaming ball flowing down the gaming area into the specific area, the ease with which the gaming ball can enter the specific area differs between the first specific state and the second specific state, so that the interest in playing in the specific state can be improved compared to a gaming machine in which this difference does not exist.

[0205] (Sf4) In the gaming machine according to any one of (Sf1) to (Sf3), The first specific state and the second specific state occur due to a time-saving state (time-saving (2) state) in which a state in which the second predetermined condition is more likely to be satisfied than in a normal state occurs for a predetermined period of time, The state control means makes the end of the time-saving state different between the first specific state and the second specific state (the first special RUSH state is until the third display of the special chart 2, and the second special RUSH state is until the second display of the special chart). A gaming machine characterized by:

[0206] In the gaming machine described in (Sf4) above, the end of the time-saving state is different between the first specific state and the second specific state, so that the interest in playing in the specific state can be improved compared to a gaming machine in which this difference is not present.
