If there is no ball in the special winning opening opening character 36 during the execution of the special game, the game becomes so-called punk and the special game ends at that point. At this time, the special game may be continued unconditionally.

According to the embodiment described in detail above, there is a possibility of a big hit even if the second ball entrances 57 and 58 are closed. Further, when the second ball entrances 57 and 58 are opened, the first ball behavior space S ₁ and the second ball behavior space S ₂ are separated from each other. 2 entrance 57,
There are two possibilities of entering the ball, and the expectation for a big hit increases. In this way, since it is possible to win the specific area 59 by tracing a plurality of different flow-down routes, to the first entrance 55 while the game content is different from the game content for aligning the symbols and executing the jackpot game. There is an effect that the monotonicity of the game in which the game ball is shot toward can be eliminated, and the fun of the game due to the behavior of the game ball can be further improved.

Further, while adopting a structure in which one specific ball-entering device 35 is adopted, it is possible to flow down the game balls through a plurality of different routes, so that the game area can be effectively utilized without occupying the area of the game board surface. It also has the effect of being able to.

Since the probability of passage to the specific area when the game ball enters from the first entrance 55 and from the second entrance 57, 58 is different, the first entrance 55 and the first entrance 55 are different. It is possible to change the special game occurrence probability in accordance with the difference in the rate of entry into the two entry openings 57 and 58. That is, the game ball is the first as a nail adjustment with a low ball entrance rate to the first ball entrance 55.
Even if it is rare to enter the entrance 55,
Since the probability of passing through the specific area 59 is high if the player enters the entrance 55, it is possible for the player to increase the expectation for the special game by entering the first entrance 55. on the other hand,
Even if the nail adjustment has a high probability of expanding or opening the second entrance 57, 58, the probability of passing through the specific area 59 is relatively low, so that the base can be kept high without frequently executing special games. Have an effect.

Non-specific areas 71 and 7 near the specific area 59
Since 2 is provided, whether or not the game ball passes through the non-specific areas 71 and 72 and the specific area 5 is provided with two funs.
The player is delighted with the behavior of the game ball, such as whether or not it passes 9, and has a high degree of interest.

As long as the game ball enters the first ball inlet 55 and passes through the specific passage hole 63, the game ball can be surely guided to the specific region 59 by the curved pipe 69, so that the expectation of a big hit is high. It will rise. Even if the game ball has a specific passage hole 63
Even if it cannot pass through the
Since it is possible for the game ball to pass through the specific area 59 via the stage 60 because the player can enter the ball behavior space S ₂ , it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for a big hit.
