Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide gaming machines that can enhance the enjoyment for players. [Solution] In the jackpot game state, after the variable prize entry device 32A (jackpot entry shutter 32Ab) is in the open state, the length of the interval period until the next open state (next round) begins is changed according to the different triggers for the variable prize entry device 32A to transition to the closed state. In particular, when a predetermined state that is less advantageous to the player occurs (a state in which the number of prize balls entering the variable prize entry device 32A does not reach the predetermined maximum number of prize balls and the predetermined maximum open time has elapsed) and the variable prize entry device 32A transitions to the closed state, the interval period in which the variable prize entry device 32A remains in the closed state is shorter than when a specific state that is more advantageous to the player occurs (a state in which the number of prize balls entering the variable prize entry device 32A reaches the predetermined maximum number of prize balls) and the variable prize entry device 32A transitions to the closed state, allowing for a quicker transition to the next open state (next round).
