The gaming machine of the first invention for solving the above-mentioned problems,
Power supply means for supplying power,
A detection means for detecting a game ball,
A predetermined game is executed based on the detection by the detection means,
As the detection means, at least a first detection means and a second detection means,
Determination means for determining whether or not the game ball is detected by the first detection means,
A variable ball entrance that can be changed to a first mode and a second mode in which the possibility of entering a game ball is higher than in the first mode.
An electric drive means for changing the variable ball entrance into the first mode or the second mode,
Drive control means for controlling the operation of the electric drive means,
A second detecting means for detecting a game ball entering the variable ball entrance,
When the result of the hit/no hit judgment by the judgment means is a hit, the variable ball entrance is changed to the second mode, and when the game ball is detected by the second detection means, a predetermined game profit can be given. Machine,
The drive control means executes an initial operation for operating the electric drive means to change the variable ball entrance to the second mode, based on the start of power supply by the power supply means. ,
At the start of the power supply by the power supply means, a return means for returning the game state at the time of power cutoff based on backup information stored in a predetermined storage area,
An initialization unit that erases backup information stored in a predetermined storage area to be in an initialized state when the power supply unit starts the power supply;
The drive control unit operates the electric drive unit to cause the variable ball entrance to move to the first state when the initialization unit sets the initialization state based on the start of the power supply by the power supply unit. In the case where the initial operation for changing to the mode of 2 is executed and the game state is returned by the return means based on the start of the power supply by the power supply means, the initial operation is not executed ,
The first detection means and the second detection means are invalidated during the execution period of the initial operation, and are validated after the completion of the initial operation.

この様な遊技機によれば、遊技機への電力供給の開始に伴って当否判定の結果とは無関係に可変入球口を強制的に第２の態様とする初期動作を実行するものとする。そして、当該初期動作の実行中は、当該可変入球口を第２の態様とするための当否判定の契機となる第１検知手段、及び、当該可変入球口への入球を検知して遊技利益を付与することとなる第２検知手段を無効とし、初期動作の終了後に当該第１検知手段及び第２検知手段を有効とすることを可能とする。
According to such a gaming machine, with the start of the power supply to the gaming machine, the variable ball entrance is forced to execute the initial operation in the second mode regardless of the result of the hit determination. .. Then, during the execution of the initial operation, the first detection means that triggers the hit determination for setting the variable entrance to the second mode, and the entrance to the variable entrance is detected. the second detection means to be able to impart a game profits invalid and makes it possible to enable the first detection means and second detection means after completion of the initial operation.

これにより、初期動作の実行中に第１検知手段の検知に基づいて当否判定が行われて、当該当否判定に基づいて可変入球口が第２の態様に変化してしまうことを防ぐことが可能となる。すなわち、初期動作による可変入球口の動作と、当否判定による可変入球口の動作と、が重複して実行されることを防止し、正確な初期動作処理を実行することが可能となる。また、初期動作の実行によって第２の態様に変化した可変入球口に遊技球が入球したとしても、それによって遊技者に遊技利益が付与されるのを防止することが可能となる。またこれにより、本来得るはずのない遊技利益を遊技者が得てしまうことを防ぎ、公正な遊技を提供することが可能となる。
また、第２発明の遊技機は、第１発明の遊技機において、
前記初期動作に異常があるか否かを判定する異常判定手段を備え、
前記異常判定手段が、前記初期動作において異常がないと判定した場合、前記第１検知手段及び前記第２検知手段を有効にして遊技の開始を可能とし、前記初期動作において異常があると判定した場合、エラー報知を実行することを特徴とするものである。
Thus, it is possible to prevent the winning/non-judgment from being performed based on the detection of the first detection means during the execution of the initial operation, and the variable entrance may be changed to the second mode based on the judgment. It will be possible. That is, it is possible to prevent the operation of the variable ball entrance by the initial operation and the operation of the variable ball entrance by the hit determination from being redundantly executed, and it is possible to execute an accurate initial operation process. Further, even if the game ball enters the variable ball entrance changed to the second mode by the execution of the initial operation, it is possible to prevent the game profit from being given to the player. Further, by this, it is possible to prevent the player from getting a game profit that should not be originally obtained, and to provide a fair game.
The gaming machine of the second invention is the gaming machine of the first invention,
An abnormality determining means for determining whether or not there is an abnormality in the initial operation,
When the abnormality determination means determines that there is no abnormality in the initial operation, it enables the first detection means and the second detection means to start a game, and determines that there is an abnormality in the initial operation. In this case, the error notification is executed.
