In the case of generating the state, there is a first case where the predetermined special game state is generated after the elapse of a first period after the game ball enters the specific ball-in area; and a second case where the predetermined special game state is generated after the elapse of a second period longer than the first period after the game ball enters the specific ball-in area. These cases are included. Based on the lottery result of a predetermined lottery based on the entry of the game ball into the specific ball-in area, the first case, the second case, and the case of not generating the state can occur. This gaming machine is configured to be able to execute different effects in the first case, the second case, and the case of not generating the state after a game ball enters the specific ball-in area. This gaming machine is configured to be able to execute a predetermined effect during the first period in the first case. During the second period in the second case, the same effect as the predetermined effect is executed, and an effect different from the predetermined effect can be executed continuously after the effect.
